Description

Commodity price inquiry system

The present invention relates to a commodity price query system, in particular to a commodity price query system which is convenient for consumers to query prices anytime and anywhere, and has multiple price query functions.

When people are shopping in hypermarkets, they will put the goods they want to buy into the online shopping, and finally push the online shopping to the counter for checkout. Since items do not necessarily have a price tag, hypermarkets will have price checkers, which have barcode scanners and screens. When the consumer brings the product to the price inquiry machine and uses the barcode scanner to scan the barcode on the product, the price of the product will be displayed on the screen so that the consumer can know the price of the product.

However, the general price inquiry machine can only display the current selling price of the commodity, but cannot display the historical price of the commodity, nor can it provide the unit price or the total amount of all the commodities that consumers want to buy, so the usage rate of the price inquiry machine is widespread. On the low side. In addition, the price inquiry machine is usually placed on the wall or corner of the hypermarket. For consumers, they often need to look around in the hypermarket to find the price inquiry machine, which is very inconvenient for consumers.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new price inquiry machine, which can be used by consumers to inquire about prices anytime and anywhere, and can provide functions such as the total amount of various price inquiry functions.
