Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-checkout apparatus and a self-checkout method for use in supermarkets or other retail establishments.
  • the customer takes a scanner upon entry into the supermarket and scans the products before putting them in the shopping trolley or basket.
  • the scanner is given to a cashier for reading the scanned items and for payment of the scanned items.
  • a drawback with this kind of system is that the customer may scan the code of cheaper items instead of the code of the items that he/she put in the shopping trolley.
  • spot checks comparing the scanned items and the items in the trolley are made.
  • Another drawback is the need of a cashier at each counter.
  • US patent 6,837,428 B2 discloses a self-checkout system including a first conveyor having a security tunnel which measure a characteristic of an item placed on the conveyor. A code identifying the item is first inputted into the system through UPC scanning or other input means and then the item is placed on the conveyor. When the characteristic of the item is measured, e.g. weight, height, width, length, it is compared to corresponding information within the system. If the data matches or is within a predetermined tolerance, the item is transported down the conveyor to a second conveyor, which further transports the item to a bagging area. When the customer has finished scanning, an input device allows the customer to select self-payment.
  • a security tunnel which measure a characteristic of an item placed on the conveyor.
  • a code identifying the item is first inputted into the system through UPC scanning or other input means and then the item is placed on the conveyor. When the characteristic of the item is measured, e.g. weight, height, width, length, it is compared to corresponding information within the system. If the data
  • a drawback with the self-checkout system disclosed in the US patent 6,837,428 B2 is that the selected items are processed one by one and the customer has to manually scan each item at the counter before putting the item on the conveyor.
  • the time spent at the counter is considerable high and can be compared with the time spent at the counter when a cashier scans each items. Therefore, the throughput of customers at the counter is not increased with such a self-checkout apparatus.
  • the present invention relates to a self-checkout apparatus and a self-checkout method for use in supermarkets or other retail establishments.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the abovementioned drawbacks and disadvantages with the prior art systems. Aspects of the object are to minimise the need of labour working in the retail establishment, increase the customer throughput at the counter, and prevent shoplifting.
  • a self-checkout apparatus for processing items represented by respective identity codes, which items are selectable for purchase.
  • the apparatus comprises a security tunnel for passing through a shopping carrier with selected items placed therein; a measuring device at said security tunnel for determining a collected characteristics value for the items placed in the shopping carrier; an identifier mechanism for determining the identity codes for the items placed in the shopping carrier; and a self-service fmancial device configured to retrieve stored characteristics values of said items based on the determined identity codes, to compare the retrieved characteristics values with the collected characteristics value, and configured to accept purchase dependent on the comparison.
  • the invention also relates to a self-checkout method for processing items represented by respective identity codes, which items are selectable for purchase, said method comprising the steps of:
  • An advantage with the present invention is that the selected items can be processed when placed in the shopping carrier. Thus, there is no need for the customer to pick each item up at the counter in order to have it scanned. Instead the items can remain in the shopping carrier during the entire checkout procedure, whereby the customer throughput can be increased. Further, another advantage of the invention is that it provides a check of the items in the shopping carrier before accepting purchase by measuring characteristics of the shopping carrier with the items and comparing the measured characteristics with stored characteristics, whereby shoplifting can be reduced.
