  • the invention is based on the technical problem of developing such an aggregate of a goods selection unit and a spatially separate goods issue unit so that an unhindered view of the presented goods is made possible so that goods of practically any size can be shown and selected.
  • an aggregate of a goods selection unit and a spatially separate goods issue unit according to claim 1 is provided.
  • the desired and selected product is keyless and unimagined set by an operator and identified.
  • the invention thus basically operates with a (completely) transparent touch panel as a control panel, which reacts exclusively to touches on the part of the operator and whose transparency is represented by any (missing) images as in the prior art (US Pat. DE 200 16 394 U1 ) does not change.
  • control panel or transparent Berzierfeld is divided into at least two touch areas to distinguish at least two goods from each other and to make an appropriate selection. Since the selection is keyboardless and unimportant only via the identification of the corresponding touch area, the operator is not hindered in his view of the desired goods by, for example, a faded keyboard, a picture, etc. Rather, the control panel is full surface made transparent, with this property in the operation and in the selection of goods does not change.
  • the control panel or transparent touch panel designed according to the invention as a touchscreen represents a computer screen which is subdivided into the individual different touch areas or sections in order to output different control commands.
  • the respective touch point is identified with a specific X / Y position on the screen.
  • the aforementioned X / Y position is then evaluated as to which of the individual touch areas it corresponds. Depending on the assignment to the selected area of contact, this also includes a specific desired product, which can be logically identified unambiguously.
  • a transparent touch panel or touchscreen is used in which, with a contactless position measurement, namely an ultrasound measurement, the X / Y position of a finger on the touchpad is determined.
  • the position of, for example, a finger on the touchpad is determined by one or more, usually two, ultrasound transmitters and corresponding receivers. Both transmitters and receivers operate in a plane that is mostly located immediately above the touchpad or control panel.
  • the touchpad or control panel as such is in this case not directly sensitive to the touches, but rather they are detected in the example case by the sound wave plane arranged above it as it were. - All this succeeds, by the way, without the addition of a keyboard or image on the touchpad or control panel is displayed. Rather, the transparent touch panel does not change its transparency.
  • control panel is designed as a housing cover.
  • presented goods are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the control panel or the transparent Berlickfeld, are usually located at a small distance in the direction of the operator below the question of the housing cover.
  • the control panel in turn is now divided into different and corresponding to different goods sections.
  • the individual sections of each subordinate goods are assigned. That is, an operator sees through the control panel through the desired goods.
  • Corresponding to the image of the product on the transparent Berlickfeld corresponds to a section or touch area of the control panel or transparent Berlickfeldes that (the) just said said goods.
  • Most of the time you will work here so that the image of the product and the section in question are formed in terms of area in about the same size.
  • dead zones are provided between the individual sections, the contact of which corresponds to no selection of goods.
  • the goods can be physically placed in the housing. It is equally conceivable to use only a goods image, a training package or the like for the selection of goods. That is to say, the term "product" encompasses all the variants mentioned here.
  • control panel or transparent touch panel outputs different control commands. These control commands can be created so that only the selected goods belonging to the section are identified. In addition or alternatively, however, it is also possible to generate an immediate output command for the goods, so that these can be taken from the customer on the output side of the goods selection unit. According to the invention, the integrated dispensing unit ensures that the goods receipt belonging to the desired product is dispensed.
  • the identification code in the form of, for example, a bar code to identify the desired goods, to indicate the price and the selected number.
  • an operator can now pay the associated price to, for example, a cash register and, after validation of the goods voucher, apply a goods dispensing unit spatially separate from the goods selection unit for dispensing the desired product.
  • the devaluation of the goods voucher can be done for example by an additional mark.
  • the cash register or cash register system is connected to the goods issue unit by data technology.

  • control unit can make a time query. For example, it can ensure, for a specific predetermined reservation time, that the goods specified and paid for on the goods receipt are reserved in the goods issue unit.
  • a retrieval time can be stored in the control unit, within which the goods receipt at all can be used to obtain the desired goods at the goods issue unit. This also makes it possible to split the goods issue, for example. That is, in the course of a first edition, only a part of the goods can be issued, in which case, for example, the remaining goods are provided as part of a second edition.
  • the goods issue unit is advantageously linked to the cash register system in terms of data.
  • the goods receipt can be clearly identified and it can be determined whether the goods receipt has been paid or not.

  • a separate second integrated reading device may be implemented, which checks the respectively issued goods in terms of price, package size, quality, number, etc. before issuing.
  • the goods issue unit uses only a single integrated reading device, which is set up and suitable both for detecting the goods voucher and for checking the selected goods.
  • a goods issue unit and an aggregate of a goods issue unit and thereof spatially separate goods issue unit are provided, which initially allow a simple and functional operation. Because in contrast to the prior art, it is no longer necessary to identify the goods available for selection on a touch screen as an image, pictogram or text. Rather, the invention works as it were keyboard and without imaging, in such a way that the desired product is determined only by the specific touch area or a section on the trained as a transparent Berstofffeld panel. That is, an operator only needs to point to the desired product and thereby touch the control panel to make the selection.
  • a mandatory control unit is informed immediately about the operator selection and can generate an associated control command.
