Abstract
Abstract A sales data processing system reads sales data containing article codes previously attached to sales articles, and executes registration of sales data according to the sales data thus read. The sales data processing system includes a first weighing scale (2) for measuring weight of a plurality of sales articles whose sales data is to be read out, a second weighing scale (3) for measuring weight of a plurality of sales articles whose sales data have been read out, first and second data memories for storing stable weight data from the first and second weighing scales (2 and 3), third and fourth memories for storing variant amounts of weight data derived from the first and second weighing scales (2 and 3) when an article is removed from the first weighing scale (2) and is then placed on the second weighing scale (3) after the sales data of the article is read out, and a data processing unit for executing the registration of the sales data according to the readout sales data when it is detected that the contents in the third and fourth memories are substantially coincident with each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
307 words
A sales data processing system having data reading means (4) for reading sales article data previously attached to sales articles and an article data memory (54-6) for storing the sales article data derived from said data reading means (4), said sales data processing system registering the sales data according to the contents of said article data memory (54-6) characterized by further comprising first weighing scale means (2) for measuring weight of one or a plurality of sales articles whose sales data are to be read out by said data reading means (4), to produce weight data corresponding to a stable measured value; second weighing scale means (3) for measuring weight of one or a plurality of sales articles whose sales data have been read out by said data reading means (4), to produce weight data corresponding to a stable measured value; first and second memory means (54-2 and 54-3) for storing weight data from said first and second weighing scales (54-2 and 54-3); third memory means (54-4) for storing difference data representing a difference between the weight data derived from said first weighing scale means (2) and the contents in said first memory means (54-2) when the former contents have varied from the latter contents; fourth memory means (54-5) for storing difference data representing a difference between the weight data derived from said second weighing scale means (3) and the contents in said second memory means (54-3) when the former contents have varied from the latter contents; registration memory means (54-1); and data processing means (50, 52) for registering into said registration memory means (54-1) the article data, according to the sales data stored in said article data memory (54-6), when said data processing means (50, 52) detects that the contents of said third and fourth memory means (54-4 and 54-5) are substantially coincident with each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
307 words
A sales data processing system having data reading means (4) for reading sales article data previously attached to sales articles and an article data memory (54-6) for storing the sales article data derived from said data reading means (4), said sales data processing system registering the sales data according to the contents of said article data memory (54-6) characterized by further comprising first weighing scale means (2) for measuring weight of one or a plurality of sales articles whose sales data are to be read out by said data reading means (4), to produce weight data corresponding to a stable measured value; second weighing scale means (3) for measuring weight of one or a plurality of sales articles whose sales data have been read out by said data reading means (4), to produce weight data corresponding to a stable measured value; first and second memory means (54-2 and 54-3) for storing weight data from said first and second weighing scales (54-2 and 54-3); third memory means (54-4) for storing difference data representing a difference between the weight data derived from said first weighing scale means (2) and the contents in said first memory means (54-2) when the former contents have varied from the latter contents; fourth memory means (54-5) for storing difference data representing a difference between the weight data derived from said second weighing scale means (3) and the contents in said second memory means (54-3) when the former contents have varied from the latter contents; registration memory means (54-1); and data processing means (50, 52) for registering into said registration memory means (54-1) the article data, according to the sales data stored in said article data memory (54-6), when said data processing means (50, 52) detects that the contents of said third and fourth memory means (54-4 and 54-5) are substantially coincident with each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
142 words
A sales data processing system, according to claim 1, characterized by further comprising display means (60) and initial weight data memory means (54-7) for storing initial weight data derived from said first weighing scale means (2) when at least one article whose sales data is to be read out, is placed on said first weighing scale means (2), and characterized in that said data processing means (50, 52) terminates the registration of sales data for said at least one article when it is detected that the weight data derived from said second weighing scale means (3) is substantially equal to the weight data in said initial weight data memory means (54-7), and at the same time displays, by said display means (60) the total amount data as obtained on the basis of the registration data stored in said registration memory means (54-1).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
86 words
A sales data processing system, according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by further comprising article weight data memory means (WTM-1 to WTM-N) for storing weight data corresponding respectively to a plurality of article data, and characterized in that said data processing means (50, 52) inhibits said registration when it is not detected that the contents of said third and fourth memory means (54-4 and 545) are each equal to the registered weight data as determined by the article data in said article data memory (54-6).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
146 words
A sales data processing system, according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said registration memory means (54-1) includes article data memory areas (ACM-1 to ACM-N) for storing a plurality of article data, unit price memory areas (UPM-1 to UPM-N) for storing a plurality of unit price data correspondig to said article data, and a plurality of total amount memory areas (TAM-1 to TAM-N) provided for said article data, and said data processing means (50, 52), which, in executing the registration, detects one of said article data memory areas (ACM-1 to ACM-N) which stores article data corresponding to the sales data stored in said article data memory (54-6), and reads out unit price data from corresponding one of said unit price memory areas (UPM-1 to UPM-N), accumulatively stores the unit price data into corresponding one of said total amount memory areas (TAM-1 to TAM-N).
Claim 6
