Definitions

  • the invention is based on a device and a method for detecting goods on a self-service cash register system.
  • Such devices and methods serve to detect the goods selected by a customer in a self-service department store.
  • the collection of goods should be automatic, in order to be able to waive the presence of a cashier when paying for the goods.
  • the process of independently collecting and paying for the goods selected by a customer without relying on the presence of a cashier is called a self-checkout.
  • the goods are recorded with or without the support of the customer and the purchase price of the recorded goods is calculated.
  • the customer then pays his purchase in cash or by card directly to the self-service checkout system.
  • the goods are equipped with a machine-readable marking, a machine-readable identifier or coding or a machine-readable code.
  • the mark or code is, for example, a one-dimensional, two-dimensional or other multi-dimensional bar code.
  • the machine-readable mark contains, inter alia, the price of the goods.
  • the customer places his goods selected by him on a transport device, such as a conveyor belt.
  • a transport device such as a conveyor belt.
  • one or more scanning devices are arranged stationary on the transport device. When transporting the goods relative to the scanning device, the machine-readable mark is detected.
  • the scanner usually consists of several scanning units. Each scanning unit is provided with a source for emitting optical radiation and with a detector for receiving the radiation reflected by the goods lying on the transport device equipped. Typically, the optical radiation is light of the visible wavelength range or the infrared wavelength range.
  • the scanning unit generates by means of pattern forming mirrors a scanning pattern, which is imaged on the scanned goods and is reflected by the goods.
  • the scanning unit also generates a signal corresponding to the reflected radiation.
  • Such scanning units are also called bar code readers or scanners. Often these are so-called laser scanner modules. They transmit the optically scanned machine readable mark into electrical signals which are input in digital form as an input to a data processing unit of a self-service cash register system.
  • self-service checkout systems are often equipped with a plurality of scanning devices which are located at different positions with respect to the transport device.
  • the scanning devices can be arranged, for example, above and to the side of the conveying plane of the transport device.
  • Such arrays of scanners are also referred to as tunnel scanners.
  • the individual scanning units are in this case arranged in a stationary manner over an archway that is exciting over the transport device. Some of these arrangements additionally have a scanning device below the conveying plane of the transport device.
  • a disadvantage proves that goods that either have no machine-readable code, or whose code is not readable due to damage or contamination of the mark or an unfavorable form of packaging of the product, are not covered by the known devices. As a result, the goods in question are not taken into account in the settlement of all goods selected by the customer. If none Further checks, such as the weight of the goods takes place, the customer receives the goods in question without paying. This leads to so-called inventory differences for the operator of the hypermarket.
  • document EP 0 689 174 A2 refers to a checkout device for registering articles based on article codes affixed to the corresponding articles, whereby goods on which no coding is provided or which was not recognized during the scanning process can nevertheless be reliably detected.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method for detecting the goods on a self-service cash register system with which each product entered by a customer into the self-service check system is reliably detected, and in which the collection of goods, to where the scanner detects no code can take place without aborting the entire acquisition process.
  • the device according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is characterized in that in addition to the scanning device for detecting a machine-readable code, an optical image pickup device, a scale for determining the weight of a product and / or an additional hand-held scanning device are arranged. At least one image of each product transported on the transport device is received by the optical image recording device. At the same time or offset in time, the machine-readable code is detected by the scanning device. The temporal correlation of the two events depends on how the two devices are arranged with respect to the transport device.
  • the customer is asked when depositing his goods on the transport device to maintain a predetermined minimum distance between two goods.
  • the transport device may be provided with markings in a different color of the transport device optionally with an additional structure. Due to the given spatial distance between each two goods on the transport device is ensured that each article is detected separately from other objects or goods by both the image pickup device and by the scanning device.
  • the image recording device may be, for example, an optical camera or an image sensor.
  • the image pickup device can either produce one or more discrete images of each product on the conveyor belt or receive a continuous film from the goods transported on the transport device.
  • the device is equipped with a balance and / or with an additional hand-scanning device. If, for example, the goods are fruit or vegetables whose price depends on their weight, the goods can be weighed after removal from the transport device. The type of fruit or vegetable is determined either from the image of the optical image pickup device or entered by a user on the scale or a separate input device.
  • the product in question after removal from the transport device, may be placed in a separate hand-held scanning device, For example, a so-called hand scanner, manually fed to determine the price.
  • a separate hand-held scanning device For example, a so-called hand scanner, manually fed to determine the price.
  • the optical image recording device a control of the entire detection process is possible.
  • the customer receives his bill only if there is a price for each product detected by the optical image pickup device. Otherwise, the process is aborted and, if necessary, the service personnel of the hypermarket informed.
  • the balance is arranged next to the transport direction.
  • the goods can be weighed quickly and easily without the user having to travel a long way.
  • the additional hand-held scanner is arranged next to the scale.
  • the device is equipped with an input device. This may be, for example, a touch screen. Via the input device, further data can be entered, which enable the determination of the price of a commodity.
  • a combination of numbers can be entered, which is arranged next to the machine-readable code on the goods, and in the case of a damaged code allows the determination of the price.
  • the device is equipped with a sensor which detects when a non-detected by the scanning device, transported on the transport device goods has arrived at a predetermined position.
  • the sensor may, for example, be coupled to a display device which informs the user that a product could not be detected by the scanning device and which product is involved. This facilitates the assignment and removal of the goods from the transport device by the user.
  • the sensor may be coupled to a control device of the transport device. The sensor triggers a stop of the transport device when a product not detected by the scanning device has arrived at the sensor. The transport device is only set in motion again when the goods are no longer arranged on the sensor.
  • the device is equipped with a display device that informs a customer that a product to be removed from the transport device and the price is to be determined separately, and indicating the product in question.
  • the inventive method with the features of claim 4 is characterized in that the transport and the detection of goods is continued when a product to which no machine-readable code was detected by the scanning device, was removed from the transport device.
  • the detection of the goods, to which no machine-readable code was detected by the scanner, and the detection of the remaining goods can be done simultaneously and in parallel. An interruption of the flow of goods is not necessary or at most until the product in question has been removed from the transport device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of an apparatus for detecting the goods on a Doublebedienungskassenensystem with a transport device 1, an optical image pickup device 2 and a scanning device with multiple scanning units 3.
  • the transport direction of the transport device 1 is shown by an arrow 4.
  • the transport device 1 has a conveyor belt on which a customer can arrange a plurality of goods 5, 6, 7 and 8. The customer is not shown in the drawing.
  • the optical image pickup device 2 is a camera.
  • the optical image pickup device 2 and the scanning units 3 are arranged above the transport device 1.
  • the device is further equipped with a balance 9 and with a manual scanning device 10, which next to the transport device. 1 are arranged.
  • the device has a sensor 11. If an image with the optical image recording device 2 is determined for a product 8, but no machine-readable code with the scanning units 3 of the scanning device, then the sensor 11 is triggered when the product in question 8 passes the sensor 11.
  • the user receives information about a display device, not shown in the drawing, that he has to remove the goods 8 from the transport device 1. Since the commodity 8 is vegetables, the user must place the commodity on the balance 9 to determine their weight. This process is in FIG. 1 represented by an arrow. Since the type of vegetables was determined via the optical image pickup device, the price can be calculated directly from the weight of the product 8.
  • the product 7 is a product with a machine-readable code that was not detected by the scanning units. If the product 7 reaches the sensor 11 on the conveyor belt, the user is prompted to take the goods 7 from the transport device and to scan them by means of the manual scanning device.
  • FIG. 2 a second embodiment of a device for detecting the goods is shown on a self-service cash system. It also has a transport device 13 with a predetermined transport direction 14, an optical image recording device 15, a scanning device 16, a balance 17 and a sensor 18.
  • an input device 19 is provided for data input.
  • the sensor 18 is located directly on the balance 17, so that the user can take the goods 20, in this case bananas, from the transport device 1 and place them directly on the balance 17.
  • the transport device 1 is stopped until the user has taken the goods 20 from the transport device.
  • the immediate proximity of scale 17, sensor 18 and input device 19 causes this process takes little time and the interruption of the transport process is very short.
