On the other hand, in the case where customer buys article 8 without using basket device 2, the article 8 of purchase is covered in by customer The article 8 is placed in pack space 700 by specific reading device 44.Specific reading device 44 is obtained about article 8 as a result, Item Information.Marketing system 4 is based on the Item Information read by specific reading device 44, creation purchase list.In this feelings Under condition, the pack device 3 of bagging system 1 starts to store the article 8 for being located at pack space 700 in the settlement process of article 8 " pack " into bag 10.

In addition, after sending Item Information from basket device 2 to managing device 41 the case where customer additional purchase article 8, with And in the case that customer buys article 8 without using basket device 2, it can continue to read multiple objects by specific reading device 44 The Item Information of product 8.Thus, for example, even if can also pass through in the case where customer buys article 8 without using basket device 2 These multiple articles 8 are carried out settlement process by the Item Information for continuing to read multiple articles 8 by specific reading device 44 together.

Here, marketing system 4 can also determine the Item Information read by specific reading device 44 and be placed in pack sky Between 700 article 8 matching.About the information for the article 8 being placed in pack space 700, such as can be by detection device 43 (at least one of camera 431 and weight sensor 432) detection.As an example, although not by specific reading device 44 read Item Information, but are being placed in the case where having added article 8 in the basket device 2 for packing space 700 inferior, marketing system Both 4 judgements mismatch, and carry out error reporting.

(3.2) elemental motion of pack device

Next, being illustrated referring to Fig. 4 A~Fig. 5 C to the elemental motion of pack device 3.In Fig. 4 A~Fig. 5 C, show The movement for illustrating to meaning property pack device 3, is suitably omitted the diagram of bag feedway 13 etc..In this, it is assumed that pack device 3 The case where multiple articles 8 for being accommodated in basket device 2 are transferred to bag 10 from basket device 2.Even if carrying out being placed directly in pack In the case where the pack of article in space 700, other than there is no 2 this point of basket device, the movement of basic pack device 3 With it is following identical.

Firstly, as shown in Figure 4 A, making bag when the relative positional relationship of supporting part 31 and guide portion 32 is in first state The bags 10 directed downwardly of mouth 101 cover supporting parts 31 and guide portion 32, the bottom 102 of bag 10 are supported by mounting surface 311.Pack device State shown in Fig. 4 A is set as standby mode by 3, with standby shape until receiving the control signal from managing device 41 State is standby.In the example of Fig. 4 A, gate 73 is had already turned on, and by the bottom surface (opening face) of recess portion 72, is packed space 700 and is received Receiving has the inner space of the sales counter 7 of pack device 3 to be connected.It is however not limited to the example, the timing that gate 73 is opened be also possible to as The timing that " pack " shown in Fig. 4 B starts.

Then, when receiving the control signal from managing device 41, pack device 3 starts " pack ".When starting to fill When bag, as shown in Figure 4 B, by opening the bottom plate 22 of basket device 2, the article 8 in basket device 2 is discharged to pack by bottom surface 211 In the mounting surface 311 of mechanism 3.That is, making the bottom plate 22 of basket device 2 be moved to open position by driving portion 14.Article 8 as a result, It is placed in mounting surface 311 across bag 10.At this point, bag 10 other than the weight of article 8, also passes through the holding of maintaining part 312 Power and be maintained in mounting surface 311.That is, being opened and closed bottom plate 22 in the movement of pack, including through driving portion 14 to be opened and closed bottom The movement in face 211.

As shown in Figure 4 C, from the state (first state) by driving portion 14, supporting part 31 is opposite relative to guide portion 32 It moves downwards on ground.At this point, article 8 also moves downwards with the movement of supporting part 31.Moreover, bag 10 is pressed from both sides in the maintenance of article 8 It is placed in the state of mounting surface 311 therebetween.In turn, in this state, make supporting part 31 relative to drawing by driving portion 14 It leads portion 32 relatively to move downwards, so that bag 10 is gradually introduced to the inside of guide portion 32.At this point, the bottom with bag 10 The side circumference 103 of 102 continuous bags 10 is drawn into the inside of guide portion 32 while the upper surface of directed section 32 was smoothed out with the fingers.Cause This, the side circumference 103 of bag 10 is drawn by the guide portion 32 being located at around supporting part 31 from the outer peripheral edge of bottom 102 upwards It rises.

Moreover, if the relative positional relationship of supporting part 31 and guide portion 32 becomes the second state, as shown in Figure 5A, in quilt In the space that guide portion 32 impales, bag 10 becomes the upturned state of state from Fig. 4 A, and article 8 is received in bag 10.This When, side circumference 103 becomes the state erected along the inner peripheral surface of guide portion 32.

Here, pack device 3 is constituted are as follows: in the second condition, from mounting surface 311 to the height of the upper surface of guide portion 32 Difference is more than the overall length of the up and down direction of bag 10.Here, " overall length of the up and down direction of bag 10 " is a pair of of the handle for including bag 10 104 overall length, i.e., bag 10 from bottom 102 to the size of the front end of handle 104.Bag 10 is until the front end of handle 104 holds as a result, It is contained in the space impaled by guide portion 32.Therefore, bag 10 becomes not only side circumference 103 and erects but also also stand including handle 104 The state risen.

Next, as shown in Figure 5 B, driving portion 14 makes the bottom plate 22 of basket device 2 be moved to closed position.Then, by basket After device 2 is removed from the pack space 700 on pack device 3, pack device 3 drives supporting part 31 using driving portion 14, makes The relative positional relationship of supporting part 31 and guide portion 32 changes from the second state to first state.It is enclosed as a result, from directed section 32 Bag 10 is discharged in the space risen.

That is, bag 10 in mounting surface 311 is moved upward and opening from the upper surface side of guide portion 32 with supporting part 31 Mouth stretches out upwards.In turn, it is moved upward by supporting part 31, as shown in Figure 5 C, the sky that bag 10 is impaled from directed section 32 Between be completely exhausted out.At this point, bag 10 maintains the posture of the self-support including handle 104.In addition, bag 10 is from by bag feedway 13 The state of Fig. 4 A of supply is turned over storage article 8, therefore in the case where being printed with text etc. on bag 10, it is preferable to use anti- Transfer the bag 10 of brush.Customer can receive the article 8 for the state for being accommodated in bag 10 as a result,.

However, in the bagging system 1 involved in present embodiment, the recycling of the basket device 2 from pack space 700 (removing) is substantially carried out by customer itself.Specifically, bagging system 1 closes basket when completing from basket 2 discharge articles 8 of device The bottom plate 22 of device 2.Then, such as by user interface 42, the notice for promoting the recycling of basket device 2 is carried out.Receive this After notice, customer makes the empty basket device 2 being placed in pack space 700 be moved to a basket place to place.

Here, the basket place to place of recycling is set in it is preferred that the basket place to place from the entrance in shop is different Near cashier.Customer makes the empty basket device 2 in the pack space 700 for being placed in cashier be moved to cashier attached as a result, The basket place to place of close recycling does not need the basket place to place for the entrance for being moved to shop.

In this way, the device for recycling basket device 2 is not needed by the recycling for carrying out basket device 2 by customer itself, it can Realize the simplification of the structure of bagging system 1.Moreover, customer can execute basket in a series of movement for receiving article 8 The recycling operation of device 2, therefore even if customer itself carries out the recycling operation of basket device 2, it also can be by the increasing of the burden of customer Add and inhibits smaller.

(3.3) switching action

Next, be described in more detail in the movement of bagging system 1 involved in present embodiment with pack the presence or absence of And the relevant movement of switching of bag 10 used in pack.

In the present embodiment, as action mode, control unit 12 is at least with no bag mode of priority and the preferential mould of marsupial Formula.In other words, in the action mode of control unit 12, exist and moved including no bag mode of priority and the multiple of marsupial mode of priority Operation mode.No bag mode of priority is following action mode, in operation waiting time, if operation portion 422 does not accept the of user Pack is then set as nothing by one operation, has been set as pack if the first operation that operation portion 422 has accepted user.On the other hand, Marsupial mode of priority is following action mode, in operation waiting time, if operation portion 422 does not accept the second operation of user Pack has been set as, will have been packed if the second operation that operation portion 422 has accepted user not for nothing.

To sum up, without bag mode of priority be " no pack " is set as default action mode, marsupial mode of priority be by " having pack " is set as the action mode of default.Therefore, if the action mode of control unit 12 is no bag mode of priority, switching part 11 Default choice " no pack ", if having in operation waiting time to the first of operation portion 422 the operation, in order to be set as " having pack " The presence or absence of switching pack.On the other hand, if the action mode of control unit 12 is marsupial mode of priority, 11 default choice of switching part " having pack " switches pack if having the second operation to operation portion 422 in operation waiting time in order to be set as " no pack " The presence or absence of.Details are aftermentioned, and in the present embodiment as an example, the first operation is to need pressing for bag button B2 (referring to Fig. 8 B) (click), second operation be should not bag button B1 (referring to figure gA) press (click).But the first operation and the second operation It can be identical operation.

In this way, control unit 12 can switch preferential selection " no pack " or preferential selection according to action mode " has dress Bag ".It is preferential to select " no pack " if control unit 12 is acted with no bag mode of priority, if control unit 12 is with marsupial mode of priority Movement, then preferentially selection " having pack ".

Control unit 12 can also have as action mode at least with no bag mode of priority and marsupial mode of priority There are three types of above action modes.But in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the action mode of control unit 12 is only without the preferential mould of bag Formula and marsupial mode of priority.

Here, action mode is set as no bag mode of priority in the case where meeting given decision condition by control unit 12. Decision condition includes in pack space 700 or the reading space 701 adjacent with pack space 700, by reading article from article 8 The specific reading device 44 of information reads Item Information.That is, the action mode of control unit 12 is cut according to whether meeting decision condition It changes, in the case where meeting decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 is as no bag mode of priority.On the other hand, discontented In the case where sufficient decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 becomes marsupial mode of priority.In this way, in the present embodiment, control The action mode in portion 12 processed is according to whether meeting decision condition and automatically switching.

In particular, in the present embodiment, due to including reading article letter by specific reading device 44 in decision condition Breath, therefore in the case where the reading without the Item Information in specific reading device 44, it is unsatisfactory for decision condition, control unit 12 action mode is marsupial mode of priority.As described above, specific reading device 44 substantially in customer without using basket device 2 and The case where buying article 8 and additional purchase article 8 of customer etc. after sending Item Information from basket device 2 to managing device 41 In the case of, the reading for Item Information.That is, in the case where only completing the reading of Item Information by basket device 2, usually not The reading for carrying out the Item Information in specific reading device 44 is unsatisfactory for decision condition, therefore the action mode of control unit 12 is Marsupial mode of priority.

In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, being placed in together by article 8 and the basket device 2 of storage article 8 In the case where packing space 700, pack device 3 executes " dress by the way that the article being located in basket device 28 is transferred to bag 10 Bag ".Here, decision condition further includes that article 8 is placed in together in pack space 700 not with basket device 2.

To sum up, in the present embodiment, in the decision condition of the action mode for switch control portion 12, including Article 8 is placed on pack space 700 not with basket device 2 together.Here, in general, the Item Information of the article 8 in basket device 2 It is read by the reading device 201 of basket device 2, when article 8 is placed in pack space 700 together with basket device 2, from basket device 2 are sent to managing device 41.Therefore, can according to the presence or absence of reading of Item Information in the reading device 201 of basket device 2 come Infer whether article 8 is placed in pack space 700 together with basket device 2.That is, if having the Item Information in basket device 2 It reads, then article 8 is placed in pack space 700 according to each basket of device 2, if without the Item Information in basket device 2 It reads, is then estimated as article 8 and is placed in together not with basket device 2 in pack space 700.

As a result, in the present embodiment, by specific reading device 44 reading Item Information and in the reading of basket device 2 In device 201 in the case where unread Item Information, meet decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 is as the preferential mould of no bag Formula.On the other hand, it even if having read Item Information by specific reading device 44, is had read in the reading device 201 of basket device 2 In the case where Item Information, it is also unsatisfactory for decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 becomes marsupial mode of priority.Therefore, exist From basket device 2 to managing device 41 after transmission Item Information in the case where the additional purchase article 8 of customer, even if specific reading device 44 are used for the reading of Item Information, and due to being unsatisfactory for decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 becomes the preferential mould of marsupial Formula.

Hereinafter, referring to Fig. 6~Fig. 9 B illustrate in bagging system 1 involved in related present embodiment the presence or absence of pack and The specific action example of the switching of bag 10 used in pack.

Fig. 6 is the flow chart for indicating a series of processing of control unit 12 relevant to pack.

Control unit 12 first determines whether that whether there is or not the reading of Item Information (S1).Specifically, due to from specific reading device 44 And basket device 2 sends Item Information to managing device 41, therefore control unit 12 according to managing device 41 from specific reading device 44 or basket device 2 achieve Item Information to be judged as the reading for having Item Information.If not Item Information reading (S1: It is no), then control unit 12 executes processing S1 repeatedly.

If the reading (S1: yes) of Item Information, control unit 12 determines whether spy to determine decision condition Determine the reading (S2) of the Item Information in reading device 44.If have the Item Information in specific reading device 44 reading (S2: It is), then control unit 12 determines whether the reading (S3) of the Item Information in basket device 2 (reading device 201).If there is a basket device The reading (S3: yes) of Item Information in 2 (reading devices 201), then be inferred as article 8 and be placed in pack together with basket device In space 700, therefore it is unsatisfactory for decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 becomes marsupial mode of priority (S4).In addition, not There are (S2: no) in the case where the reading of the Item Information in specific reading device 44 to be discontented with without carrying out the judgement of processing S3 Sufficient decision condition, therefore control unit 12 skips processing S3 and action mode is set as marsupial mode of priority (S4).

When action mode is marsupial mode of priority, control unit 12 is shown on the display unit 421 of user interface 42 should not bag Button B1 (referring to Fig. 8 A) (S5).Then, control unit 12 judges the operation portion 422 in user interface 42 in operation waiting time In whether press (click) should not bag button B1 (S6).It should not bag button B1 if not pressing (click) in operation waiting time (S6: no), that is, if operation portion 422 does not accept the second operation of user, it is excellent that control unit 12 makes switching part 11 be selected as marsupial " having pack " of default under first mode.In this case, by the automatic determination processing of aftermentioned bag (S10), by sack filling machine Structure 3 executes pack (S11), and processing terminate for control unit 12 relevant to pack a series of.

On the other hand, the reading (S2: yes) of the Item Information in specific reading device 44, and if without basket device 2 The reading (S3: no) of Item Information in (reading device 201), then the action mode of control unit 12 is as no bag mode of priority (S7).That is, if reading (S3: no) without the Item Information in basket device 2 (reading device 201), due to being inferred as object Product 8 are placed on together in pack space 700 not with basket device 2, therefore meet decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 at For no bag mode of priority (S7).

If action mode is no bag mode of priority, control unit 12 shows needs on the display unit 421 of user interface 42 Bag button B2 (referring to Fig. 8 B) (S8).Then, control unit 12 judges the operation portion in user interface 42 in operation waiting time Whether (click) needs bag button B2 (S9) is pressed in 422.If not pressing (click) in operation waiting time needs bag button B2 (S9: no), that is, if operation portion 422 does not accept the first operation of user, control unit 12 makes switching part 11 be selected as no bag " the no pack " of default under mode of priority.In this case, pack (S12) is not executed in pack device 3, with pack phase Processing terminate for the control unit 12 of pass a series of.

In addition, in the case where the action mode of control unit 12 is marsupial mode of priority, if being pressed in operation waiting time Under (click) should not bag button B1 (S6: yes), then control unit 12 makes switching part 11 select " no pack ", and is transferred to processing S12.That is, control unit 12 controls switching part 11, so that having pack when operation portion 422 has accepted the second operation of user It has no way of being switched to " no pack " as " the having pack " of the default under marsupial mode of priority.On the other hand, in the dynamic of control unit 12 In the case that operation mode is no bag mode of priority, if operation waiting time in press (click) needs bag button B2 (S9: It is), then control unit 12 makes switching part 11 select " having pack ", and is transferred to processing S10.That is, when operation portion 422 has accepted user First operation when, control unit 12 controls switching part 11 so that will pack the presence or absence of under as no bag mode of priority " the no pack " of default be switched to " having pack ".

Here, " operation waiting time " is from not being carved at the beginning of the display of bag button B1 (or needing bag button B2) During until finish time.As an example, should not bag button B1 (or needing bag button B2) display and settlement system 5 In the beginning of settlement process synchronously terminate, in this case, at the clearing that user (customer) starts in settlement system 5 At the time of reason, operation waiting time terminates.It is however not limited to which the example, such as " operation waiting time " are also possible to a fixed length The time (being as an example 10 seconds or so) of degree.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, when detection device 43 detects that basket device 2 is placed in pack space When 700, marketing system 4 starts the communication with basket device 2, obtains Item Information from basket device 2.It therefore, can also in processing S3 To detect that basket device 2 is placed in pack space 700 and is judged as the object having in basket device 2 according to by detection device 43 The reading (S3: yes) of product information.

Fig. 7 is the process for indicating a series of processing of control unit 12 relevant to the automatic determination processing of bag (S10 of Fig. 6) Figure.

When the automatic determination processing of beginning bag, control unit 12 obtains Item Information and master data (S21) first.About object Product information, control unit 12 are obtained from managing device 41.In the disclosure described " master data " be established with Item Information it is corresponding Price data, article 8 size and the data such as weight be stored in settlement system 5 in the present embodiment.Therefore, it controls Portion 12 processed obtains master data corresponding with the Item Information after obtaining Item Information, from settlement system 5.

In turn, control unit 12 obtains measured data (image data and weight data) (S22) from detection device 43.Image Data are that the data of image obtained from space 700 images are packed as 431 pairs of camera.Weight data is to pass through weight Sensor 432 measures data obtained from the weight for the article 8 being placed in pack space 700.

Then, the article 8 that control unit 12 is directed to the article 8 as pack object, is placed in pack space 700, root Evaluation of estimate (S23) is calculated according to settlement amounts, size and weight.The settlement amounts of the article 8 of object as pack are bases The value that the price data obtained in processing S21 is found out, the size and weight for becoming the article 8 of the object of pack are that basis exists The value that the measured data obtained in processing S22 is found out.If the size and weight of article 8 are included in master data, as dress The size and weight of the article 8 of the object of bag also can be according only to Item Information and main numbers even if not using measured data According to finding out.In the case where not using measured data, detection device 43 can be omitted.Control unit 12 is to these settlement amounts, ruler Very little and weight carries out weighting appropriate, Calculation Estimation value.That is, " evaluation of estimate " is the article 8 for reflecting the object as pack Settlement amounts, size and weight etc. evaluation numerical value.It is assumed that settlement amounts, size and weight are bigger respectively (more It is high), evaluation of estimate is bigger.

Therefore, control unit 12 uses calculated evaluation of estimate, determines whether to be packed (S24) first.Specifically, control Portion 12 processed carries out calculated evaluation of estimate (S24) compared with first threshold.First threshold is the upper limit of the capacity of regulation bag 10 Value, be the value of any setting.If evaluation of estimate is first threshold or more (S24: no), control unit 12 is judged as that article 8 cannot It is received into bag 10.That is, the quantity due to article 8 is excessive or article 8 is excessive equal and reflecting becomes the object packed The evaluation of estimate of settlement amounts, size and the weight of article 8 etc. is to provide the first threshold of the upper limit of capacity of bag 10 or more In the case of, control unit 12 is judged as that article 8 cannot be received into bag 10.

Article 8 cannot be received into bag 10 be judged as cannot pack in the case where (S24: no), in order to stop to be based on The pack of pack device 3, control unit 12 make switching part 11 select " no pack ", are transferred to processing S25.In this case, it controls The report of portion 12 processed cannot pack, stop the case where pack (S26), terminate the automatic determination processing of bag.As long as report at this time is right At least one of customer and salesman carry out, for example, real by the user interface 42 of marketing system 4 or mobile terminal 6 etc. It is existing.The customer or salesman for receiving report oneself can be packed with hand, can also take the measures such as the quantity for reducing article 8 Start based on the pack of pack device 3 again later.On the other hand, it if evaluation of estimate is less than first threshold (S24: yes), is transferred to Handle S27.

In processing S27, control unit 12 carries out calculated evaluation of estimate compared with second threshold.Second threshold is than The small value of one threshold value is the value of any setting.If evaluation of estimate (S27: yes) more than second threshold, control unit 12 will be in pack The type of the bag 10 used is determined as using the bag 10A (S28) of size " big ", terminates the automatic determination processing of bag.On the other hand, if Evaluation of estimate is less than second threshold (S27: no), then the type of bag 10 used in pack is determined as using size by control unit 12 The bag 10B (S29) of " small " terminates the automatic determination processing of bag.

To sum up, the automatic determination processing of bag be for automatically determine pack used in bag 10 type (herein for Size) processing.The automatic determination processing of such bag is carried out by control unit 12, switching part 11 can automatically switch in pack The type of the bag 10 used.Moreover, if reflecting settlement amounts, size and the weight of article 8 of object etc. as pack Evaluation of estimate it is bigger (i.e. more than second threshold), then select relatively large bag 10A, thus can by with the object that becomes pack The corresponding type appropriate of article 8 bag 10 for packing.In addition, cannot be received into any bag of 10A, 10B in article 8 In the case of, can be judged as cannot pack, to stop to pack, that is, be set as no pack.For determine pack could evaluation Value (evaluation of estimate being compared with first threshold) is with the evaluation of estimate for determining the type (being herein size) of bag 10 (with second The evaluation of estimate that threshold value is compared) it can also be mutually different.

In addition, an example of the flow chart of Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 only movement of bagging system 1, the sequence of processing can be with It is substituted as, can also suitably omit any one processing.

Hereinafter, the pack referring to Fig. 8 A~Fig. 9 B, to the switching for including bag 10 used in the presence or absence of pack and pack The concrete example of the movement of system 1 is illustrated.

Fig. 8 A indicates that article 8 is placed in dress with basket device 2 together in the case where customer buys article 8 using basket device 2 Situation in bag space 700.In the example of Fig. 8 A, it is assumed that after sending Item Information from basket device 2 to managing device 41, care for The not additional purchase article 8 of visitor, the i.e. reading without the Item Information in specific reading device 44.

In the example of Fig. 8 A, due to being unsatisfactory for decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 is the preferential mould of marsupial Formula.Therefore, " having pack " is default, and showing in the display unit 421 of user interface 42 should not bag button B1.It should not be B1, bag button It is such as shown in the clearing confirmation screen including buying list.In this condition, user (customer) is carry out should not bag 10 In the case where declaration of will, clicking in operation waiting time should not bag button B1.On the other hand, if user is in operation waiting period Between do not click should not bag button B1, then switching part 11 about pack the presence or absence of and select " having pack ".

Do not click should not bag button B1 and in the case where become " having pack ", in the automatic determination processing of bag, according at For settlement amounts, size and the weight of article 8 of object etc. of pack, the kind of bag 10 used in pack is automatically determined Class.In the example of Fig. 8 A, the article 8 for becoming the object of pack is multiple (three), and its size is also bigger, therefore is used The bag 10A of size " big ".Therefore, switching part 11 is by making bag 10A be supplied to pack device 3 (referring to Fig. 3 from bag feedway 13 Arrow A1), as shown in Figure 9 A, pack is executed by pack device 3 using bag 10A.As a result, as shown in Figure 9 A, receiving It is contained in discharge articles 8 in the state of the bag 10A of size " big ".

In contrast, Fig. 8 B indicates that article 8 is directly placed in the case where customer buys article 8 without using basket device 2 In pack space 700 the case where.In the example of Fig. 8 B, it is assumed that the Item Information of article 8 is read via specific reading device 44 It takes.

In the example of Fig. 8 B, due to meeting decision condition, the action mode of control unit 12 is no bag mode of priority. Therefore, " no pack " becomes default, and display needs bag button B2 on the display unit 421 of user interface 42.Need a bag button B2 Such as it is shown in the clearing confirmation screen including buying list.In this condition, user (customer) is carrying out needing bag 10 Declaration of will in the case where, operation waiting time in click need bag button B2.On the other hand, if user waits in operation Period, which is not clicked, needs bag button B2, then switching part 11 selects " no pack " for the presence or absence of pack.

In the case where needing bag button B2 to be clicked and become " having pack ", in the automatic determination processing of bag, according at For settlement amounts, size and the weight of article 8 of object etc. of pack, the kind of bag 10 used in pack is automatically determined Class.In the example of Fig. 8 B, the article 8 for becoming the object of pack is one, and its size is also smaller, therefore uses size The bag 10B of " small ".Therefore, switching part 11, which passes through, makes bag 10B be supplied to pack device 3 (referring to the arrow of Fig. 3 from bag feedway 13 Head A2), as shown in Figure 9 B, pack is executed using bag 10B and by pack device 3.As a result, as shown in Figure 9 B, storing The discharge articles 8 in the state of the bag 10B of size " small ".

In addition, bagging system 1 in the case where " not packing ", can both carry out the article 8 for making to be located at pack space 700 Drop to the processing in sales counter 7, it can also be without the processing.That is, in bagging system 1, in the case where not executing pack, Due to moving article 8 into sales counter 7 without the pack based on pack device 3.But in " arming In the case where bag ", bagging system 1 can also execute with " having pack " the case where in the same manner as so that article 8 is temporarily shifted to sales counter 7 It is interior, (pack space 700) such lifting processing for being not accompanied by pack is discharged on sales counter 7 again without pack.Especially It is, as shown in Figure 8 A, in the case where article 8 is configured at pack space 700 by the state to be accommodated in basket device 2, by holding Row is not accompanied by the lifting processing of pack, and customer can easily be done the recycling (removing) of the basket device 2 from pack space 700. As an example, at the decline of supporting part 31 (movement downwards), by removing guide portion 32 with supporting part 31 The relative positional relationship of supporting part 31 and guide portion 32 is maintained first state, is not accompanied by pack so as to realize by drop Lifting processing.

However, the switching about the presence or absence of pack, in the case where " no pack ", certainly should not bag 10, therefore can set Certain fixed reward (Incentive).Specifically, in the case where not executing " the no pack " of pack (S12), for example, passing through The price reduction for being equivalent to the amount of value of bag 10 or distribution of integral etc. are carried out, with (S11) phase the case where executing " the having pack " packed Than user (customer) can be handled by preferential treatment.In this case, bagging system 1 and settlement system 5 link, to be in clearing Price reduction corresponding with the presence or absence of pack or distribution of integral etc. are carried out in system 5.

(4) variation

One of the various embodiments of the above embodiment only disclosure.As long as above embodiment can be realized The purpose of the disclosure, it will be able to be made various changes according to design etc..In addition, the bagging system 1 with above embodiment is identical Function by the control method of bagging system, computer program or the non-volatile of computer program can also be had recorded Recording medium etc. implements.

The control method of bagging system involved in one mode is that have the control method of the bagging system of pack device 3. Pack device 3 executes the pack being received into the article 8 for being placed in pack space 700 in bag 10.The control method includes to dress The hand-off process that at least one of the type of bag 10 used in the presence or absence of bag and pack switches over.In addition, a mode Related program be for make computer system execute the bagging system control method program.

Hereinafter, enumerating the variation of above embodiment.Variation described below appropriately combined can be applied.

Shopping support system 100 in the disclosure such as in marketing system 4 in include computer system.Computer system Using as the processor of hardware and memory as main structure.The storage of computer system is recorded in by being executed by processor Program in device realizes the function as the shopping support system 100 in the disclosure.Program can both be previously recorded in computer It in the memory of system, can also be provided by electrical communication lines, also can recorde depositing of can be read in computer systems It is provided in the nonvolatile recording mediums such as card storage, CD, hard disk drive.The processor of computer system is by including semiconductor One or more electronic circuits of integrated circuit (IC) or large scale integrated circuit (LSI) are constituted.Multiple electronic circuits can collect It, can also be with scattering device on multiple chips on a single die.Multiple chips can collect in one apparatus, can also be with Scattering device is in multiple devices.

(5) it summarizes

As described above, the bagging system (1) of first method have pack device (3), switching part (11) and Control unit (12).Pack device (3) executes the pack being received into the article (8) for being placed in pack space (700) in bag (10). At least one of the type of bag (10) used in the presence or absence of switching part (11) switching pack and pack.Control unit (12) control Switching part (11) processed.

The presence or absence of pack and pack are allowed hand over by controlling switching part (11) by control unit (12) according to which Used in bag (10) at least one of type.Bagging system (1) for example passes through having according to article (8) switching pack It is flexible right to use the case where nothing, the article (8) that can only pack to needs pack, can be as being packed as people It answers.In addition, bagging system (1) for example by according to article (8) switching pack used in bag (10) type, be able to use with It is used the case where bag (10) for the size that the size of article (8) is consistent is packed, can be as being packed as people flexibly Correspondence.Therefore, according to bagging system (1), while automating pack using pack device (3), moreover it is possible to by people into The case where operation of luggage bag, is similarly for pack using flexible corresponding.

In the bagging system involved in second method (1), in first method, control unit (12) is based on from detection device (43) measured data obtained controls switching part (11).Detection device (43) will be located at the article (8) of pack space (700) At least one of image and weight are exported as measured data.

According to which, it is based on being located at least one of image and weight of the article (8) of pack space (700), At least one of the type of bag (10) used in the presence or absence of switching pack and pack.Therefore, the presence or absence of pack and pack Used in the type etc. of bag (10) can suitably be switched according to the article (8) for the object for becoming pack.

In the bagging system involved in Third Way (1), in first or second mode, control unit (12) is according to from letter The Item Information that reading device (201 or 44) obtain is ceased to control switching part (11), and the information read device is read from article (8) Take Item Information relevant to article (8).

According to which, it is based on Item Information relevant to article (8), is switched used in the presence or absence of pack and pack At least one of the type of bag (10).Therefore, the type etc. of bag (10) used in the presence or absence of pack and pack being capable of root Article (8) according to the object for becoming pack suitably switches.

In the bagging system involved in fourth way (1), in Third Way, control unit (12) is based on according to master data The size and weight of the article (8) found out with Item Information controls switching part (11), and the master data includes article (8) Size and weight.

It also can be according to the size of article (8) even if the size and weight of not practical measurement article (8) according to which And weight come switch pack the presence or absence of and pack used in bag (10) at least one of type.

In the bagging system (1) involved in the 5th mode, either in first~fourth way in formula, switching part (11) the presence or absence of pack is at least allowed hand over.Control unit (12) has no bag mode of priority as action mode.It is preferential without bag Mode is following action mode, in operation waiting time, is set pack if the first operation that operation portion (422) does not accept user For nothing, pack has been set as if the first operation that operation portion (422) has accepted user.

According to which, under no bag mode of priority, while will be set as default without pack, additionally it is possible to which reservation passes through use The first of family operates and is set as the leeway of pack.

In the bagging system (1) involved in the 6th mode, in the 5th mode, control unit (12) is used as action mode also With marsupial mode of priority.Marsupial mode of priority is following action mode, operation waiting time, if operation portion (422) not by Pack has then been set as by the second operation of reason user, is set as pack if the second operation that operation portion (422) has accepted user Nothing.

According to which, under marsupial mode of priority, while will there is pack to be set as default, additionally it is possible to which reservation passes through use The second of family operates and is set as the leeway of no pack.
