Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system and a method for managing the unlocking of an identification device of a commercial article, packaged or not, and which is fixed to the article or its packaging in a locked manner.
  • the anti-theft tags are not effective against internal theft because employees have direct access to crates and unlocking or deactivation systems.
  • the antitheft badges are formed of two parts, part of which is a nail, the management of these two parts unlocked and separated proves painful for the store staff, including the boxes where the badges are unlocked.
  • Video surveillance is also not effective enough to combat internal theft because of relatively small video surveillance staff, large numbers of people to watch in department stores, and blind spots. cameras can not reach.
  • Vigils are unreliable and can only monitor a limited number of people.
  • the aforementioned systems are not effective in the case of substitution by a malicious person of a price tag of an article with that of another article and when a cashier scans an article at a low price and sells, to a person of his choice, one or more higher priced items.
  • the means for preventing the unlocking of the identification device are activated by default to control access to the unlocking zone and are deactivated only under certain conditions. The presence of these means makes it possible not to be able to easily unlock an identification device and thus release an article which is lockedly attached to the device.
  • the unlocking prevention means are deactivated when it is possible to identify in a safe and reliable manner the device that is authorized to be unlocked and therefore the article / physical object with which it is associated.
  • the identification of the association of this device and the article to which it is attached makes it possible to uniquely identify the pair of commercial article identification device.
  • the identification of the pair of commercial article identification device is for example carried out thanks to the identification information carried by the device and which are for example read from the device. This information can directly identify the trade-product identification device-device combination or only the device. It is then sufficient to check in the store's computer system that the device thus identified is well associated with the commercial article in question. Any fraud is easily identifiable.
  • the system according to the first aspect of the invention makes it necessary to first ascertain the identity of each pair of devices.
  • identification-article article for example by reading the identification information carried by the identification device
  • unlocking zone for example by reading the identification information carried by the identification device
  • the system thus makes it possible to fight against the internal theft and the differences of inventory.
  • the invention relates to a method for detecting the presence of a device for identifying a commercial item, a device for identifying a commercial item being locked to the commercial item or its packaging and to be unlocked by an unlocking device which comprises an unlocking zone for receiving the identification device to be unlocked, characterized in that the method comprises a step of detecting the presence of any other identification devices of commercial items near the unlocking area of the unlocking device.
  • Unlocking is thus performed without hindrance or control.
  • the device or one of the elements thereof if it is in several separable elements, remains maintained in the unlocking zone.
  • Blocking the identification device or one of its elements in the unlocking zone makes it possible to ensure that the device will not be free to leave the unlocking site simply because the unlocking has taken place.
  • Unblocking can take place after a predetermined condition has been met.
  • the deblocking can take place after verifying the identity of the device.
  • the identification device has been previously associated (eg in the store computer system) to the article to which it was attached. It is thus checked whether the device or the element locked in the unlocking device (eg decoupler) corresponds to the released article to which it had been previously assigned. This check ensures that there has been no fraud.
  • Reassembly in an unlocked position, one of the two elements with the other element held in the housing (it can for example be locked in this housing) ensures that the two elements will remain matched and that they will not be scattered.
  • a repositioning of one of the elements that was removed after unlocking and Release of the item facilitates removal of the other item from the housing. Note that the detection of an offset position makes it possible to ensure the good pairing of the two elements and that they are ready to be removed from the unlocking zone.
  • the detection of an offset position may also be accompanied by the identification of the device, including the element which has been removed after unlocking and release of the article and which is repositioned on the other element. Thus, it is ensured that the same two elements of the device remain paired and will be recycled together.
  • Such a mechanism is particularly simple in design and implementation. Indeed, it does not require to move for example the permanent magnet (s) of the unlocking device which are generally heavy and therefore require robust actuators dimensioned accordingly and a corresponding power consumption.
  • the housing portion for the device or peripheral portion surrounding said housing portion is movable so as to adopt, in the locked position, a position in which the identification device or one of said at least two elements disposed in the housing portion is recessed vertically relative to the peripheral portion surrounding it.
  • This system is an intelligent system of collection and unlocking which allows the collection and unlocking when the physical object as a commercial item has been identified accurately thanks to the identification of the association identification device - physical object.
  • This identification is for example carried out by identifying the association of an optical reading code carried by the device to which the physical object is attached and a commercial article code of the article (this code such as the code EAN is not necessarily unique for each copy of the same item such as a white polo size T1 of the same brand and the same model). This identification is performed in particular via the connection mechanism to the URL address for the online purchase of the object as a commercial item.
  • This "fine” identification makes it possible to secure the transaction, on the one hand, and the unlocking, on the other hand.
  • this management reduces waiting time at the cash desks of the stores since the purchase of the physical object as a commercial item is made by the user via an electronic communication device such as a smartphone or a tablet, so without having to go through a cashier for cashing. This also reduces the collection errors.
  • the method has the same advantages and characteristics as those presented in connection with the above system and will not be repeated.
  • the decoupler 12 is connected to the POS in order to communicate information / data between them.
  • the POS is connected to a computer system which includes in particular a database 16 in which are stored the references of the items offered for sale in the store (EAN codes 7), other data which will be defined later, the stock items in one or more stores, transactions made ...
  • the decoupler 12 also comprises a system 18 for data processing, supply of electrical energy and communication of information / data, in particular with the payment terminal 14.
  • This system provides in particular the management of the decoupler and in particular the actuation / the activation or deactivation of the various mobile parts constituting the decoupler (locking members .%) and the different elements functional (optical sensors ...), the management of various signals including electrical .... (their production, transmission, reception, storage, processing ).
  • the system 18 (diagrammatically dotted on the Figure 1A ) comprises in particular a set of interface connection elements with the outside of the decoupler and a set of internal connection elements with the various components internal to the decoupler.
  • the system also comprises temporary data storage means (buffer memory) and permanent data storage means.
  • the aforementioned system 10 applies to a device for identifying a commercial item that can be packaged or not.
  • This identification device is for example an antitheft device 20, also called antitheft badge, which comprises, in this embodiment, two elements 22, 24 separable from one another. These two elements are movable or movable relative to each other between two positions, a locked position ( Figure 1B ), in which the two elements fixed to one another trap between them, locked under the action of locking means, the commercial article 26 or its packaging, and at least one unlocked position ( figure 1C ). In this example, the two elements can be physically separated from each other as shown on the figure 1C . As will be seen later, the two elements 22, 24 can be fixed to one another in one or more other unlocked positions.
  • the device 20 comprises a head 22 (first element) provided with a tip 22a which extends away from the head and which is intended to pass through the physical object 26 (commercial article).
  • the device 20 also comprises a body 24 (second element) provided with an orifice for axially inserting the tip 22a inside the body in a so-called locked position.
  • the body also comprises, in known manner, locking means of the inserted tip to prevent its axial withdrawal. Such means are for example ball means which will be described later.
  • the decoupler 12 comprises an unlocking zone which here comprises a receiving zone 28 intended to receive the device 20 which is lockedly secured to the article 26 ( figure 1D ).
  • a reading device 29 identifying information (identifier) of the device 20 and its association with the article 26 is arranged next to the receiving zone accommodating said device 20, for example on the upper surface of the decoupler 12.
  • This receiving zone 28 more particularly comprises a housing portion 30 which is adapted to receive one of the two elements 22, 24, namely here the body 24 (second element).
  • This housing has a general shape and dimensions that are substantially complementary to those of the element 24 that it receives.
  • the housing 30 is cup-shaped and has a shape opposite to the general dome shape of the body 24.
  • This housing provides a mechanical stabilization function of the identification device 20 insofar as said housing stabilizes the body 24 in a predetermined geometric orientation at the unlocking surface of the decoupler.
  • the Figures 2 to 7 represent the decoupler 12 of the Figures 1A and 1D according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the decoupler is mounted on a base 34.
  • the decoupler is shown without its base and without the peripheral components of the decoupler which will be described later.
  • the decoupler 12 comprises at least one permanent magnet 36 enclosed in a housing 38.
  • the decoupler comprises an upper unlocking surface 36a which corresponds to the upper surface of the magnet and on which the bottom of the housing portion 30 is opened.
  • the housing portion includes a mechanical stabilizer 31 which is a body having outer walls continuously surrounding a central recess-shaped housing (it will be appreciated that other body shapes may be suitable, for example with interrupted walls).
  • the unlocking surface 36a is perpendicular to the axial (vertical) direction of the magnetic field.
  • the mechanical stabilizer 31 orients in this axial direction the identification device received therein. The predetermined geometrical orientation thus imparted to the identification device allows the magnetic field generated by the at least one permanent magnet 36 of magnetically unlock the two elements 22, 24 of the device locked with each other and, thus, to release the article trapped between them.
  • Said at least one permanent magnet 36 and the housing 38 are fixedly mounted in the decoupler.
  • the peripheral portion 40 has a horizontal upper annular plate 42 disposed around the stabilizer 31 and, at the periphery of said plate, a vertical skirt 44 which extends around the housing 38 in the direction of the base 34 ( fig 2 ).
  • the upper plate 42 is surmounted by a ring 46 completely bordering the access opening to the housing 30.
  • the skirt extends locally interrupted around the housing 38 so as to provide axial slots (vertical) 44a, 44b. (For example three) in each of which is disposed an elastic means 48a ....
  • This resilient means is fixedly mounted, on the one hand, in the lower part, on a support member 50 connected to the housing 38 and on the other hand, in the upper part, on the peripheral portion 40 through openings 52 formed at the periphery of the plate 42.
  • the elastic means are for example axial return springs which tend to bring down the peripheral portion 40.
  • the decoupler comprises a mechanism for moving the peripheral portion 40 which is activated or not depending on the production or the lack of realization of a predetermined condition which will be detailed later.
  • This displacement mechanism comprises a first motor 54 provided on its output shaft with a thread 56 disposed adjacent to the mobile peripheral portion 40.
  • the mechanism also comprises a lower piece 58 which extends axially around the case 38 and the skirt 44 ( fig 2 ).
  • the lower piece 58 (not shown on the figure 3 ) is mounted on a base 33 which is provided at the base of the decoupler ( figs 2 and 3 ) and which protrudes beyond the housing 38.
  • the lower part 58 comprises at its outer periphery a wheel or ring gear 60 arranged horizontally and which meshes with the threading 56 of the output shaft of the motor ( figure 4 ). The rotation of the output shaft makes it possible to rotate the ring gear 60 around its vertical axis.
  • the lower piece 58 has a cylindrical wall 62 which extends axially upwards from the ring gear 60 to the side of the lower part of the skirt 44 ( fig 2 ).
  • the lower part 58 comprises an internal collar 64 arranged substantially in the same plane as the ring gear 60 and which extends radially inwardly of the part away from said ring.
  • the flange comprises on its upper flange several cam means (for example three) which are for example in the form of ramps 64a, 64b ... arranged along the circumference of the flange.
  • the skirt 44 of the peripheral portion 40 has at its lower part a plurality of cam means (in correspondence with the number of cam means of the lower piece 58) which are also in the form of ramps 44a, 44b ... ( Figures 6 and 7 ). These ramps have complementary shapes to those of the ramps 64a, 64b ... in order to be able to cooperate with them during the drive in rotation of the ring gear 60 and to allow the rise or the descent of the peripheral part according to the movement selected. During the upward or downward movement, the skirt 44 slides inside the annular space formed between the casing 38 and the cylindrical wall 62. In a variant not shown the shape of the cam means and, in particular, the cam profile may vary.
  • the decoupler 12 furthermore comprises mechanical blocking means which prevent the physical access of an identification device, such as the device 20 Figures 1B to 1D at the housing portion 30 of the decoupler.
  • These mechanical access preventing means comprise one or more movable locking members 70, 72 which are able to occupy, on the one hand, an extended position preventing the physical access of the identification device to the housing portion 30 of the decoupler (locking of the access opening to the housing) and, on the other hand, a retracted position allowing the physical access of the identification device to the housing part of the decoupler (release of the access opening housing).
  • These movable locking members are for example in the form of two traps 70, 72 which are mounted diametrically opposite in the ring 46. More particularly, the hatches have a generally planar shape which extends radially relative to the ring and away from it to a respective free end 70a, 72a.
  • the hatches have an opposite end 70b, 72b arranged in the ring and whose height is greater than that of the flat part of the hatches.
  • These opposite thickened ends 70b, 72b (heads) fit into recesses formed on the inner edge 46a of the ring 46 so as to reconstitute the complete (non-recessed) shape of the ring.
  • the hatches are movable in sliding in the directions indicated by the arrows on the figures 4 and 6 .
  • the hatches are in open or retracted position and are thus retained in their movement by the outer edge 46b of the ring.
  • the hatches may, upon activation (control), deploy inwardly of the ring 46 and thus partially close the opening to access the housing 30.
  • a partial closure reducing the diameter of the opening to a diameter less than dimensions of the element 24 is sufficient to prevent access.
  • the decoupler comprises a mechanism for moving the movable members 70, 72 which is activated or not according to the realization or non-realization of a predetermined condition which will be detailed later.
  • This displacement mechanism comprises a second motor 74 provided on its output shaft with a thread 76.
  • the mechanism also comprises a so-called upper wheel or ring gear 78 disposed horizontally around the cylindrical wall 62, above the so-called lower ring gear 60, which cooperates by meshing with the thread 76 of the output shaft of the Motor 74.
  • the rotation of the output shaft rotates the ring gear 78 about its vertical axis.
  • the second motor 74 is arranged at a higher dimension than the first motor and on another side of the decoupler for reasons of space.
  • the profile of the guide lights 81, 83 is a cam profile which cooperates respectively with the cam fingers 84, 86.
  • the rotation of the upper ring gear 78 causes the rotation of the disk 80 and its lights 81, 83 which force the respective cam fingers to follow the cam profile of the lights and therefore to move away (closing the hatches 70, 72) or to get closer (opening of the hatches) of the outer edge of the disk.
  • the two toothed rings are independent of each other in their movement to the extent that the displacement of the peripheral portion 40 is independent of the movement (opening and closing) of the locking members 70, 72.
  • the set of mechanisms for moving the mobile peripheral portion 40 and the movable locking members 70, 72 form a relatively compact single rotary block.
  • the set of different movements is obtained from the rotation of the two crowns, which facilitates the management of the mechanisms. This set is particularly robust and easily industrialized.
  • the decoupler 12 comprises for example optical sensors (or of another type) 71 which are arranged on the base along the circumference of the lower ring 60 to determine the angular displacement thereof during its rotational movements. This makes it possible to determine the rotation of the motor.
  • the housing portion 30 and, more particularly, the stabilizer 31 does not participate in the raising and lowering movement of the peripheral portion 40.
  • the stabilizer 31 shown enlarged on the figure 8 , is mounted on the unlocking surface 36a through an outer flange 31a which is engaged in a peripheral groove 38a formed at the upper part of the housing 38 which covers the magnet or magnets.
  • This stabilizer has on its lower surface an annular cavity 31b hollowed in the thickness of the body and which surrounds the hole 31c pierced in the bottom of the stabilizer.
  • Several contact sensors or contactors eg three distributed at 120 °
  • Elastic means such as compression springs, for example the spring 92, are mounted in the cavity 31b, for example around the respective sensors, to naturally push up the body of the stabilizer.
  • the springs 92 push up said stabilizer and it is held in the upper position by its collar which is against the upper edge of the groove 38a.
  • the decoupler comprises a cover 100 which covers the various components described above and of which only the upper part is represented on the figure 2 .
  • a circular cut 100a has been made in this part to leave free an annular space above the ring 46 for its vertical movement around the access opening to the housing.
  • the figure 9 is an enlarged partial schematic view of a stabilized antitheft device 20 in the decoupler receiving zone 12.
  • the body 24 of the device 20 encloses a central cavity in which are disposed the aforementioned ball locking means or other locking means.
  • Several balls 24a are placed in a piece forming Funnel 24b inside the cavity, in the same plane and arrange between them a central space to receive the tip 22a.
  • the body also comprises a plate or plate 24c, for example substantially plane, which closes the access to the internal portion of the body.
  • a central orifice 24d insertion of the tip is formed in the plate 24c. When the tip is inserted in this hole and in the inter-ball central space, the balls are wedged in the convergent portion of the funnel.
  • any attempt at axial withdrawal of the tip tends to further depress the balls in the convergent portion of the funnel and thus to lock the tip (locked position of the two elements of the device trapping between them a commercial item).
  • the balls are mounted on a support 24e of nonmagnetic material, which is mounted on elastic means of non-magnetic material, such as a spring 24f.

  • the next step S20 performs a comparison between the information read in step S18 (third reading) and the information read in step S14 (and previously stored in step S6), to ensure that the first element 22 is the same as that which was removed at the time of unlocking the antitheft device (S15). This check improves the management of the two elements of each identification device or antitheft because it ensures that the same two elements are still matched. If it is not the same first element, an alarm is triggered (S21).

It may for example be a member or pushing finger which is arranged in the stabilizer 31 and which is adapted to deploy on command to push up the second element.
  • the free end of the extraction member has a slope or cam shape adapted to the external profile of the body of the second element (eg spoon shape) in order to come into contact with it and to cause it to rise out of the house.
