Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A point-of-sales terminal group management device (11) connected to both a plurality of point-of-sales terminal devices (12) for registering data related to commodities and totalizing the registered data and a sales management device (13) for managing sales, which comprises: (a) storing means (16) for previously storing totalization pattern information indicative of collection ranges of collected and totalized data for each point-of-sales terminal device; (b) commanding means (14) for commanding the point-of-sales terminal device to transmit totalized data; (c) control means (14) for requesting transmission of necessary totalized data in accordance with totalization pattern information stored in said storing means in response to a command from said commanding means for each point-of-sales terminal device, and controlling transmission of the totalized data to said sales management device whenever the totalized data are transmitted from said point-of-sales terminal device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A point-of-sales terminal group management device (11) connected to both a plurality of point-of-sales terminal devices (12) for registering data related to commodities and totalizing the registered data and a sales management device (13) for managing sales, which comprises: (a) storing means (16) for previously storing totalization pattern information indicative of collection ranges of collected and totalized data for each point-of-sales terminal device; (b) commanding means (14) for commanding the point-of-sales terminal device to transmit totalized data; (c) control means (14) for requesting transmission of necessary totalized data in accordance with totalization pattern information stored in said storing means in response to a command from said commanding means for each point-of-sales terminal device, and controlling transmission of the totalized data to said sales management device whenever the totalized data are transmitted from said point-of-sales terminal device.
