Abstract

According to embodiments, a product information print device comprises a controller. The controller acquires purchased product detail data from a shop management server for collecting transaction data from an account processing terminal via a communication unit. The control unit further creates a purchased product detail list based on the purchased product detail data, and a print format and print items, and prints the purchased product detail list on a sheet by use of a print unit.

Claims

1. A product information print device comprising:

a communication unit configured to collect transaction data including purchaser identification data for specifying a purchaser who purchases a product from an account processing terminal, and to make communication with a shop management server for generating purchased product detail data based on the collected transaction data, and product data previously stored in association with product identification data for specifying a product;

a card read unit configured to read member identification data for specifying a member from a member card owned by the purchaser;

a display panel configured to display a print setting screen including a print format and print items for printing a purchased product detail list based on the purchased product detail data;

an operation unit configured to receive the print format and print items, selected by the purchaser, included in the print setting screen on the display panel;

a controller configured to transmit the read member identification data to the shop management server via the communication unit, to acquire the purchased product detail data generated by the shop management server based on the transaction data including purchaser identification data matching with the transmitted member identification data, and the product data associated with the product identification data included in the transaction data from the shop management server via the communication unit, and to create a purchased product detail list from the acquired purchased product detail data based on the received print format and print items; and

a print unit configured to print the purchased product detail list created by the controller on a sheet.

2. The product information print device according to claim 1, wherein the controller acquires a list of transaction identification data for specifying the product transaction, which is included in the transaction data including purchaser identification data matching with the transmitted member identification data, from the shop management server.

3. The product information print device according to claim 2, wherein the controller displays a list of the transaction identification data by use of the display panel.

4. The product information print device according to claim 3, wherein the controller receives transaction identification data selected by a purchaser from the displayed list of transaction identification data by use of the operation unit thereby to acquire transaction identification data for the purchased product detail data.

5. The product information print device according to claim 4, wherein the controller transmits the acquired transaction identification data to the shop management server, and acquires the purchased product detail data generated by the shop management server based on the transaction data for the transmitted transaction identification data, and the product data associated with the product identification data included in the transaction data.

6. The product information print device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a scanner unit configured to read the barcode on the receipt when a barcode which is obtained by converting transaction identification data included in the transaction data and directed for specifying a product transaction is printed on a receipt by the account processing terminal,

wherein the controller reads the barcode on the receipt by use of the scanner unit to acquire transaction identification data for the purchased product detail data.

7. The product information print device according to claim 6, wherein the controller transmits the acquired transaction identification data to the shop management server via the communication unit, and acquires the purchased product detail data generated by the shop management server based on the transaction data for the transmitted transaction identification data, and the product data associated with the product identification data included in the transaction data.

8. A product information print device comprising:

a communication unit configured to collect transaction data including purchaser identification data for specifying a purchaser who purchases a product from an account processing terminal, and to make communication with a shop management server for generating purchased product detail data based on the collected transaction data, and product data previously stored in association with product identification data for specifying a product;

a storage unit configured to store the purchased product detail data for the purchaser identification data, and a print format for printing a purchased product detail list based on the purchased product detail data;

a card read unit configured to read member identification data for specifying a member from a member card owed by the purchaser;

a controller configured to acquire the purchased product detail data together with the print format from the shop management server via the communication unit in real-time to store the purchased product detail data and the print format in the storage unit, and to acquire the purchased product detail data for the purchaser identification data matching with the member identification data and the print format from the storage unit to create the purchased product detail list when print instruction information included in the transaction data is set to be enabled; and

a print unit configured to print the purchased product detail list created by the controller on a sheet.

9. The product information print device according to claim 8, further comprising:

a scanner unit configured to read the barcode on the receipt when a barcode which is obtained by converting transaction identification data included in the transaction data and directed for specifying a product transaction is printed on a receipt by the account processing terminal,

wherein the controller reads the barcode on the receipt by use of the scanner unit thereby to acquire transaction identification data for the purchased product detail data.

10. The product information print device according to claim 9, wherein the controller acquires the purchased product detail data for the transaction identification data, and the print format from the storage unit with the acquired transaction identification data as a key, and creates the purchased product detail list based on the acquired purchased product detail data and print format.

11. A product information print system comprising:

an account processing terminal configured to output transaction data including purchaser identification data for specifying a purchaser who purchases a product when a product transaction is completed;

a shop management server configured to store transaction data collected from the account processing terminal, to store product data previously associated with product identification data for specifying a product, and to generate purchased product detail data based on the transaction data and the product data; and

a product information print device,

wherein the product information print device comprises;

a communication unit configured to make communication with the server;

a card read unit configured to read member identification data for identifying a member from a member card owned by the purchaser;

a display panel configured to display a print setting screen including a print format and print items for printing a purchased product detail list based on the purchased product detail data;

an operation unit configured to receive the print format and print items, selected by the purchaser, included in the print setting screen on the display panel;

a controller configured to transmit the read member identification data to the shop management server via the communication unit, to acquire the purchased product detail data generated by the shop management server based on the transaction data including purchaser identification data matching with the transmitted member identification data, and the product data associated with the product identification data included in the transaction data from the shop management server via the communication unit, and to create a purchased product detail list from the acquired purchased product detail data based on the received print format and print items; and

a print unit configured to print the purchased product detail list created by the controller on a sheet.
