Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cash register system comprising a screen for displaying a display image and a control unit for controlling this screen.
  • the cash register system is designed such that it can be operated by a customer side and by a cashier side opposite the customer side.
  • POS systems In retail outlets, more and more POS systems are used, in which the customers themselves collect and pay for the goods they have selected without the need for a cashier. These POS systems are usually designed such that they are not only from the customer side, so the side from which the customer recorded his goods themselves and operated the POS system, but also from the opposite side of the customer cashier side are operable. In this way, for example, customers can be assisted in the event of problems, or the cash register system can be conventionally completely operated by the cashier, ie, the latter undertakes the collection of the goods. In known double-sided POS systems two screens are usually provided, with one of the customer side and the other facing the cashier side, so that on the respective screen both a customer and a cashier information can be displayed.
  • a customer mode and a cashier mode are preset in the POS system, wherein in the customer mode, the control unit controls the screen such that the display image is aligned with the customer side so that the display image can be read by a customer located on the customer side.
  • the control unit controls the screen so that the display image is aligned with the cashier side, so that the display image is from a person at the cashier side can be read. This ensures that only one screen is needed and the display image displayed by it can be selectively viewed by the customer or the cashier. It is not necessary that the screen is adjusted manually in its orientation, so that on the one hand this step is avoided and on the other a solid, stable and simple storage of the screen, in particular integration into the support surface of the POS system is possible.
  • the display image is rotated in particular between the cashier and the customer mode by 180 °.
  • the person standing at the page to which the display image is aligned can read a text in the display image because it is "right around” for him / her.
  • the text of the display image is "upside down”.
  • the display image may also be rotated 90 ° between the cashier and customer modes. It is particularly useful if the cashier side and the customer side are not opposite, but are also offset by 90 ° to each other.
  • the screen itself has the same orientation in the customer and cashier modes, so that the optional alignment of the display image to the customer or cashier side is only via a change in the display image of the screen without mechanical adjustment of the screen he follows.
  • a particularly simple and secure storage of the screen is achieved and unnecessary handling is avoided.
  • the screen is preferably arranged horizontally in operational orientation of the cash register system. This is understood in particular that the display surface of the screen is arranged horizontally. Operational Alignment is the orientation in which the POS system is deployed when operated at a retail outlet.
  • the screen is integrated into the surface of the cash register system.
  • the screen is protected from damage and it can be viewed both from the customer side and from the cashier side in an ergonomically favorable perspective.
  • the screen can also be arranged slightly below the surface.
  • a customer scanner is provided for scanning goods by a customer-side customer and a cashier scanner scanning goods through a cashier-side position.
  • the goods from both sides can be detected easily and ergonomically by the appropriate scanner.
  • the screen is located between the customer scanner and the cashier scanner so that it can be viewed well from both sides.
  • the screen is centered so that the distance to the customer side and the cashier side is the same.
  • the cash register system may include a fruit weighing machine for weighing fruits, a checkweigher for weighing scanned goods, a payment unit for paying for the goods and / or a bag holder for holding bags for receiving the goods.
  • the POS system has a flattened area for transferring baskets from the customer side to the cashier side. This ensures that the baskets can be easily handed over by the customer to the cashier, if through this the collection of the goods should take place.
  • a hatch for the transfer of baskets from the customer to the cashier side or vice versa may be provided. This also allows easy convenient transfer of the baskets.
  • a two-side mode may be preset in the control unit, in which the control unit displays the screen such that a first display directed to the customer side is displayed on a first part of the screen and a second display oriented to the cashier side is displayed on a second part of the screen.
  • This allows information to be displayed simultaneously to both a customer and a cashier.
  • the first and the second display are in particular identical, the screen in particular being divided in the middle.
  • At least one operating element is provided for switching between the customer mode and the cashier mode.
  • two buttons are provided, one of which is located on the customer side and the other on the cashier side, whereby the mode assigned to this page is activated by actuating the respective button.
  • the screen is designed in particular in the form of a touch screen, so that information about it can also be entered.
  • the switching between the customer and the cashier mode can also be done alternatively via a preset touch of the touch screen.
  • the switch between the customer and the cashier mode by a swipe via the touchscreen in the appropriate direction in which the display image should be displayed done.
  • a sensor unit for determining the side from which the POS system is currently being operated may be provided.
  • the control unit switches over between the customer and the cashier mode, in particular as a function of the operating side determined by the sensor unit, so that the display image is always assigned to the side from which the cash register system is currently being operated.
  • no manual switching for example by pressing buttons or the touch screen, must be done between the two modes.
  • the customer and cashier scanners may also be used to collect the goods.
  • the respective mode is set, in which the display image faces the scanner in which goods were last detected.
  • a comparison of the determined operating page with the currently set mode can be done. If it turns out that these do not correspond to each other, the mode can be automatically switched to the current operating page.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a POS system 10 according to a first embodiment shown.
  • the Figures 2 and 3 each show a plan view of the POS system 10 after FIG. 1 , where in FIG. 2 the POS system in a so-called customer mode and in FIG. 3 operated in a so-called cashier mode.
  • the cash register system 10 is used in particular in retail outlets for collecting and paying for goods selected by customers.
  • the cash register system 10 can be operated from a customer side 12 and from a cashier side 14.
  • a customer 100 and a cashier 102 are indicated by way of example in order to illustrate the corresponding operation of the cash register system 10.
  • the POS system 10 includes a screen 16 for displaying information to the customer 100 and the cashier 102, a customer scanner 18 for scanning selected merchandise by the customer 100 and a cashier scanner 20 for scanning goods by the cashier 102.
  • the screen 16 is arranged in particular between the customer scanner 18 and the cashier scanner 20.
  • the cash register system 10 comprises two storage surfaces 22, 24 for depositing baskets 26 in which the goods selected by the customer 100 can be accommodated.
  • the first storage surface 22 is hereby arranged on the customer side 12, while the second storage 24 is on the cashier side 14.
  • the customer 100 wants to collect his goods himself, he places his basket 26 on the storage surface 22 located on the customer side 12 and takes the goods individually from the basket 26 and detects the goods on the customer scanner 18. He then puts the captured goods in a fortified on a bag holder 28 grocery bag 30.
  • the bag holder 28 is particularly designed so that with him the weight of the received in the bag 30 Goods, and thus the weight of a newly added article, can be determined. This can be used to check whether the product 100 that was actually put into the bag 30 was actually scanned by the customer 100. This prevents fraud.
  • a fruit balance 32 is provided, by means of which both the customer 100 and the cashier 102 can weigh fruits and similar articles which are not firmly packed and have a weight-dependent price, before they are then also placed in the bag 30.
  • the goods are not to be picked up by the customer himself, then he hands over the basket 26 to the cashier 102 via a pass-through 34 arranged below the fruit balance 32, which then places the basket 26 on its deposit surface 24 on the cashier side 14
  • the goods are then collected as described above, except that they scan the goods via the cashier scanner 20 and not the customer scanner 18.
  • a display image 36 is displayed, which includes, in particular, information about the last detected goods and their price and / or the total amount of goods detected until now during the collection of goods. After the detection of all goods can be displayed on the display image 36, for example, information on the payment of the goods collected.
  • the screen 16 may in particular be designed as a touchscreen, so that the display image 36, for example, a keyboard for entering a PIN of a debit card or credit card can be displayed.
  • the display image 36 typically includes textual components that can only be read well if a person is properly aligned relative to the display image 36.
  • the customer pages 12 and the cashier side 14 are arranged on opposite sides of the POS system 10, so that a simultaneous reading of the display image 36 from the customer 100 and the cashier 102nd would only be possible if one of the two persons read "upside down".
