Wherein, remote server 502 is peripheral to be provided with LED lamp 501 equally, further strengthens the suggestion effect.
Finally, when the article detection information, that is, "no article is placed" is detected by the camera 202 and the weight sensor 201, the alarm is released.
An object detecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an object detecting device that can be freely operated by a customer while placing his or her object on a temporary placement table. Moreover, by using the article detection device, the problem that the existing self-service commodity registration device causes article loss due to the fact that a customer forgets articles on a temporary placing table is solved to a certain extent, so that the customer and a shop assistant can find the forgotten articles in time and deal with the articles, and the forgotten articles are prevented from being stolen by a third party.
Further, another embodiment may be performed as shown in fig. 4.
The self checkout apparatus 11 includes a barcode scanner 12, a printer 13, a display unit 14, a basket table 15, a scale apparatus 16, a money depositing and withdrawing apparatus 17, and a temporary table 18. The barcode scanner 12 reads the barcode of the commodity. The printer 13 prints the contents of the transaction and issues the printed contents as a ticket. The display unit 14 displays the contents of the transaction. The basket table 15 is a place where a basket containing a commodity to be purchased is placed. The scale device 16 is a place where the product whose barcode has been read by the barcode scanner 12 is placed. By detecting the weight of the loaded commodity, the condition that the commodity with the bar code read is accurately loaded is detected. The scale device 16 includes a commodity mounting table 161 and a provisional commodity mounting table 162. The temporary article placement table 162 is a place for temporarily hiding a fragile article from the article from which the barcode has been read. The money deposit and withdrawal device 17 is a device for handling coins and banknotes. The temporary placement table 18 is a place where an article other than a commodity is temporarily placed. The article placed on the temporary placement table 18 is, for example, a customer's bag or a mobile phone. That is, the provisional placement table 18 is different from the provisional product placement table 162. The temporary article placement table 162 is a place where the article whose barcode has been read by the barcode scanner is temporarily hidden. The temporary placement table 18 is a place where an article other than a commodity is temporarily placed. The customer can operate the self-checkout apparatus 11 after placing his or her own article temporarily on the temporary placement table 18. The self-checkout apparatus 11 includes a weight sensor 19, and the weight sensor 19 is placed on the temporary placement table 18 as a first detection unit to detect an article. The weight sensor 19 functions differently from the scale device 16. The weight sensor 19 as the first detection unit is irrelevant to reading of the barcode. The output of the weight sensor 19 can detect whether or not an article is present on the temporary placement table 18. As the first detection unit, a camera (not shown) may be used in addition to the weight sensor 19. Whether or not an article is present on the temporary placement table 18 can be detected from an image captured by the camera. The self checkout device 11 may also include the human detection sensor 20 as the second detection unit. The human detection sensor 20 can detect whether or not there is a person who is operating the self checkout apparatus 11. Further, the self checkout apparatus 11 has a lamp 21 for notifying abnormality. Although the human detection sensor 20 detects that there is no human in the self checkout apparatus 11, the lamp 21 is turned on when the first detection unit detects that there is an article on the temporary mounting table 18. In this way, an abnormality can be notified. That is, it can be detected that the customer has forgotten the article. It can be informed that the article is forgotten.
Such a self-checkout apparatus 11 includes: a barcode scanner 12 that reads a barcode of a commodity, a printer 13 that prints contents of a transaction, a display unit 14 that displays the contents of the transaction, a placement unit (scale device 16) that places the commodity, the barcode of which has been read by the barcode scanner 12, and a temporary placement table 18 on which an article other than the commodity is temporarily placed. Since the customer determines the place where the article is temporarily placed, the possibility of forgetting the article can be reduced. The temporary placement table 18 further includes a first detection unit for detecting whether or not an article is present. The first detection unit is a weight sensor 19. The first detection unit includes a camera.
Further, the self-checkout apparatus 11 has a second detection section that detects a person who operates the self-checkout apparatus 11. The self checkout apparatus 11 further includes a lamp 21 for notifying abnormality. The self-checkout apparatus 11 further includes a provisional commodity mounting table 162 for provisionally hiding the commodity whose barcode is read by the barcode scanner 12.
As described above, although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications can be made to the embodiments without substantially departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all such modifications are included in the scope of the present invention.
