Description

Large store management system using a trolley equipped with RF ID {The Mart manage system used to carte attached RFID}

In today's large stores, carts are operated only as a means of transporting goods, so when customers buy a lot of goods, it is impossible to know how much they have purchased. do. In order to check out at the checkout counter after purchasing all the goods, take out all the items currently in your cart and put them on the conveyor.The cashier checks these items one by one through the barcode reader. There is a lot of inconvenience to waiting customers. In addition, when a large number of customers are concentrated at the checkout counter, there may be a situation in which a customer's mistake causes the customer's goods to be mixed with other customers' goods. In the case of using the cart proposed by the present invention, the accumulated amount displayed on the 2Line LCD can be compared with the amount displayed on the checkout counter, thereby clarifying the application of the amount.

In addition, there is a considerable loophole in the security part, and the current security system using the anti-logging tag has a lot of difficulties in solving the problem, and also because there is a problem to attach the label one by one, by selecting a random product attached to this Due to the large amount of lost items caused and real-time inventory is not carried out, efficient operation in the store is not performed properly.

The present invention focuses on this problem, and attaches an information device to the cart so that the price information can be known in real time through a bar code check, and a search system is introduced on the checkout counter to prevent lost items and furthermore, based on information sent from the cart. As a result, effective store management is possible by effectively organizing in-store displays for highly responsive items through inventory and shopping pattern analysis.

The present invention aims to improve customer inconvenience caused by routine barcode checks at checkout counters operated in existing large stores, and to provide systematic store management and customer management by maximizing the efficiency of inventory inspection in the store.

(Explanation of symbols for the main parts of the drawing)

5: Fixed Barcode Reader 10: 2 Line LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

15: hand-held barcode reader 20: RF (Radio Frequency) transmitter / receiver

25: Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) Transmitter

50: search system 60: relay server

The present invention is composed of three parts as shown in Figure 1 shown in the accompanying drawings.

The first is a transport cart equipped with RFID shown in Figure 1, the second is a search system for preventing the loss of goods, and the third is a relay server that controls the whole design.

In the case of a transport cart, the RFID 25 can identify the cart and identify the cart at the same time; A fixed barcode reader 5 and a portable barcode reader 15 for checking a barcode of a product directly in a cart; An RF transmitter / receiver 20 for transmitting information; It consists of a 2 Line LCD 10 that displays price information. First, a customer drives a cart and moves within the store. At this time, the RFID 25 installed in the cart transmits the location information of the cart to the relay server. The customer takes the goods out of the display rack with the goods he wants to purchase and takes them to the barcode readers (5) and (15) attached to the cart to read the corresponding barcode information of the goods. In this case, the barcode readers (5) and (15) ) Transmits the read barcode information to the relay server through the RF transmitter / receiver 20 and receives the price information of the corresponding barcode and transmits it to the 2Line LCD 10 so that the price information is displayed. In the case of light and small objects, the fixed bar code reader 5 is used, and in the case of large items, the mobile bar code reader 15 is used to check the objects. If you press the cancel button on each reader, the object is canceled. Otherwise, it is accumulated and displayed on the 2Line LCD 10.

The relay server system 60 for controlling the entire system receives the barcode information transmitted from the RF transmitter / receiver 20 installed in the transport cart and price information corresponding to the barcode received through the database configured in the relay server. Search for and send it to the cart RF receiver. And, by detecting the RFID signal transmitted from the transport cart to determine the location information of the cart and when the cart approaches the checkout and transmits the item information of the cart as the checkout.

The search stand 50 for preventing unauthorized release of goods in a store receives a cart's goods information from the relay server 60 when a specific cart enters and compares the information of the cart passing through the search stand. At this time, the screening system uses the same operation as the airport screening system to display the number of products contained in the cart by passing the X-ray through the cart and reflecting the barcode mixed with the special paint contained in the cart without transmitting the X-ray. do. If there is no problem comparing with the number of information displayed and the information of the cart received from the relay server, the counter passes after calculating at the checkout counter, but if there is a difference between the information displayed on the search station and the information of the relay server, the guidance of the store guide person Check your cart again.

1. Analysis of shopping pattern by grasping cart location information through RFID. Based on the location information sent from the cart equipped with RFID, customers can know where they are moving by driving the cart, so that they can analyze shopping patterns. The efficiency of the display of goods in the store can be maximized.

2. Eliminate customer's inconvenience caused by delay at checkout counter. As an individual purchases an item and checks on the item are delivered to the checkout counter, the checkout is performed without a barcode check on the product, thereby eliminating the inconvenience caused by waiting compared to the previous system.

3. It is possible to clarify the application of price information displayed on the checkout counter and mixing with other customers' goods due to the employee's mistake at the checkout counter. When a large number of customers are concentrated at the checkout counter, there may be a situation in which an employee's mistake causes the goods of another customer to be inevitably mixed with each other.In the case of the existing system, only the amount displayed at the checkout is paid unilaterally. However, when the cart proposed by the present invention is used, it is possible to clarify the fertilization of the amount by comparing the accumulated amount displayed on the 2 Line LCD and the amount displayed on the cashier.

4. Preventing unauthorized release of products in the store. The use of special paint bar codes and checkpoint systems prevents the release of unchecked products due to unscrupulous behavior by customers, thereby reducing losses.

5. Provide efficiency in store operations. Existing systems cannot grasp information in stores in real time, which makes it difficult to continuously supply products. In order to solve this problem, there was a inconvenience that the regular personnel should wait, but by the function of the relay server proposed in the present invention, it is possible to grasp the status of store goods in units of time, thereby maximizing the operation efficiency by increasing the efficiency of the store operation.
