Description

Dispositif de suspension d’un article à un présentoir, et système informatique de gestion d’un stock d’articles  Device for suspending an article at a display stand, and computer system for managing a stock of articles
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de suspension d’un article à un présentoir, et un système de gestion d’un stock d’articles disposés sur des présentoires au moyen du dispositif de suspension. L’invention trouve notamment une application aux dispositifs de suspension de type cintres utilisés dans un magasin pour suspendre des vêtements à des présentoirs tels que des portants. The present invention relates to a device for suspending an article at a display, and a system for managing a stock of articles placed on display cases by means of the suspension device. The invention finds particular application to hangers type hangers used in a store to hang clothes to displays such as carriers.
L’informatique a fait depuis longtemps son apparition dans le domaine de la gestion des stocks, en particulier pour la gestion d’un stock de vêtements dans un magasin de prêt-à-porter. En outre, de plus en plus, la digitalisation de l’information et la présentation de cette information digitalisée sur des supports d’affichage électronique, remplace l’affichage sur support papier. Ainsi, des écrans peuvent être placés dans un magasin en vue de diffuser des messages publicitaires, les informations relatives à un produit ou une gamme de produit peuvent être présentées sur des étiquettes digitales, des bornes d’information interactives peuvent être placées dans le magasin.  Computer science has long since been introduced in the field of inventory management, especially for the management of a clothing stock in a ready-to-wear clothing store. In addition, more and more, the digitization of information and the presentation of this information digitized on electronic display media, replaces the display on paper. For example, screens can be placed in a store to broadcast advertisements, information about a product or product line can be presented on digital tags, interactive information kiosks can be placed in the store.
Dans le cas spécifique du prêt-à-porter, où l’on utilise des cintres pour accrocher des vêtements sur des supports, la notion de cintre intelligent a été introduite récemment. Un tel cintre intelligent permet par exemple de diffuser un contenu média spécifique sur un écran digital lorsqu’il est retiré de son support (voir par exemple www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yvPfRTbJz8, www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFMNQ37nsAg).  In the specific case of ready-to-wear, where hangers are used to hang clothes on supports, the notion of smart hanger has been introduced recently. Such an intelligent hanger allows for example to broadcast specific media content on a digital screen when removed from its support (see for example www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yvPfRTbJz8, www.youtube.com/watch?v = NFMNQ37nsAg).
D’autres exemples sont connus, de l’ordre de l’expérimentation, dont le principe et de faire remonter des informations provenant des réseaux sociaux soit sur les cintres directement, soit sur des écrans associés (voir par exemple l’affichage mis à jour en permanence du nombre de personnes qui déclarent, sur un réseau social, aimer le produit en question : www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHrUV5UljaE ou  Other examples are known, of the order of experimentation, including the principle and to trace information from social networks on hangers directly or on associated screens (see for example the updated display the number of people who declare, on a social network, to like the product in question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHrUV5UljaE or
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fh_uygXIHO).  www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fh_uygXIHO).
Parallèlement, la technologie des étiquettes connectées continue à se développer (voir par exemple :  At the same time, connected label technology continues to develop (see for example:
www.ses-imagotag.com/fr/news/detail/lsa-des-etiquettes-intelligentes-pour-une- geolocalisation-ultraprecise/).  www.ses-imagotag.com/fr/news/detail/lsa-des-liquid-tags-for-a- geolocation-ultraprecise /).
Ces étiquettes électroniques sont basées sur la technologie de la radio- identification, le plus souvent désignée par le sigle RFID (Radio Frequency I Dentification). Cette technologie consiste à mémoriser et récupérer des données à distance en utilisant des marqueurs appelés étiquettes ou radio-étiquettes. Ces étiquettes sont de petits objets, tels que des étiquettes autoadhésives, qui peuvent être collés ou incorporés dans des objets ou produits, et qui comprennent une antenne associée à une puce électronique. These electronic tags are based on the technology of radio-identification, most often referred to as RFID (Radio Frequency I Dentification). This technology consists of remotely storing and retrieving data using markers called labels or radio tags. These labels are small objects, such as self-adhesive labels, which can be glued or embedded in objects or products, and which include an antenna associated with an electronic chip.
Cette puce électroniques contient un identifiant, que l’on appelle code électronique de produit, ou code de type EPC (Electronic Product Code), et éventuellement des données complémentaires, stockés dans une mémoire, et permet à l’étiquette de recevoir des requêtes radio émises depuis un émetteur-récepteur, et de répondre à ces requêtes en transmettant à l’émetteur-récepteur l’identifiant ou les autres données stockées. L’émetteur-récepteur est le plus souvent appelé lecteur.  This electronic chip contains an identifier, called an electronic product code, or code of the EPC (Electronic Product Code) type, and possibly additional data, stored in a memory, and allows the label to receive radio requests. transmitted from a transceiver, and respond to these requests by transmitting to the transceiver the identifier or other stored data. The transceiver is most often called a reader.
Cependant, aucun des exemples connus utilisant la radio identification d’articles ne concerne un dispositif ou un système qui permette de faire le lien entre la gestion d’un stock d’articles, un article particulier de ce stock présenté au moyen d’un cintre particulier, et l’information du consommateur sur cet article particulier et éventuellement sur le stock d’articles, sans manipulation autre que d’accrocher l’article sur le cintre.  However, none of the known examples using article identification radio relates to a device or system that makes it possible to link the management of a stock of articles, a particular article of this stock presented by means of a hanger particular, and consumer information on this particular article and possibly on the stock of items, without manipulation other than to hang the article on the hanger.
Un des buts de l’invention est donc de résoudre notamment les problèmes précités. Ainsi, l’invention a notamment pour objectif de proposer un dispositif d’accrochage d’un article qui puisse donner des informations sur l’article qu’il sert à accrocher, telle que la taille de cet article par exemple, sans besoin de la moindre manipulation de la part du client ou d’un vendeur.  One of the aims of the invention is therefore to solve in particular the aforementioned problems.

Chacun des modules d’affichage 9, de lecture 5, et de communication 7, peut être intégré dans le cintre 1 , de préférence dans sa partie support 3, ou fixé sur le cintre 1 , toujours de préférence dans sa partie support 3. Dans l’exemple représenté sur la figure, chacun des modules d’affichage 9, de lecture 5, et de communication 7 sont d’abord intégrés dans un ensemble électronique 12, lui-même intégré dans le cintre 1 , ou fixé sur celui-ci. Each of the display modules 9, reading 5, and communication 7, can be integrated in the hanger 1, preferably in its support portion 3, or fixed on the hanger 1, preferably still in its support portion 3. In the example shown in the figure, each of the display modules 9, reading 5, and communication 7 are first integrated in an electronic assembly 12, itself integrated in the hanger 1, or fixed on it. this.
Par intégration, on entend l’insertion du module 5, 7, 9 correspondant dans le cintre 1 lors de la fabrication de ce cintre 1 , le module 5, 7, 9 pouvant ou non être extrait du cintre 1.  By integration means the insertion of the module 5, 7, 9 corresponding in the hanger 1 during the manufacture of this hanger 1, the module 5, 7, 9 may or may not be extracted from the hanger 1.
Par fixation, on entend le fait de rapporter le module 5, 7, 9 correspondant sur le cintre 1 déjà fabriqué, ce module 5, 7, 9 pouvant ou non être retiré du cintre 1.  Fixing means the fact of bringing the module 5, 7, 9 corresponding to the hanger 1 already manufactured, this module 5, 7, 9 may or may not be removed from the hanger 1.
Le cintre 1 est autonome, c’est-à-dire qu’il dispose de sa propre source d’énergie aux fins d’alimenter les modules 5, 7, 9.  The hanger 1 is autonomous, that is to say that it has its own power source for powering the modules 5, 7, 9.
Le vêtement 4 porte une étiquette électronique 6, de préférence de type RFID, dans laquelle est stockée notamment une information d’identification de ce vêtement 4, tel qu’un identifiant alphanumérique par exemple. Conformément à la technologie RFID, cette information d’identification est un code électronique de produit de type EPC.  The garment 4 carries an electronic tag 6, preferably of the RFID type, in which is stored in particular identification information of this garment 4, such as an alphanumeric identifier for example. In accordance with RFID technology, this identification information is an electronic product code of the EPC type.
Le module de lecture 5 est donc prévu pour lire cette information d’identification contenue dans l’étiquette électronique 6, lorsque le vêtement 4 est supporté par la partie support 3 du cintre 1. Le module de lecture 5 transmet alors l’information d’identification lue au module communication 7.  The reading module 5 is therefore intended to read this identification information contained in the electronic tag 6, when the garment 4 is supported by the support portion 3 of the hanger 1. The reading module 5 then transmits the information of identification read from the communication module 7.
Ce module de communication 7, une fois l’information d’identification reçue, transmet à son tour cette information d’identification au système informatique 8, 10, 1 1. Eventuellement, une information de localisation du cintre 1 est également transmise au système informatique 8, 10, 1 1 , avec l’information d’identification.  This communication module 7, once the identification information received, in turn transmits this identification information to the computer system 8, 10, 1 1. Optionally, a location information hanger 1 is also transmitted to the computer system 8, 10, 1 1, with the identification information.
Comme on le verra plus loin, le système informatique 8, 10, 11 renvoie au module de communication 7 une ou plusieurs informations caractéristiques du vêtement 4 identifié par l’information d’identification.  As will be seen below, the computer system 8, 10, 11 refers to the communication module 7 one or more characteristic information of the garment 4 identified by the identification information.
Par informations caractéristiques, on entend par exemple la taille du vêtement 4 et/ou sa couleur, et/ou encore d’autres informations qui peuvent être importantes pour caractériser le vêtement 4. En vue d’afficher cette information caractéristique à destination d’un client, la taille est notamment une information caractéristique importante.  By characteristic information is meant for example the size of the garment 4 and / or its color, and / or other information that may be important to characterize the garment 4. In order to display this characteristic information to a destination customer, size is particularly important characteristic information.
Une fois reçue cette ou ces informations caractéristiques du vêtement 4 porté par le cintre 1 , de la part du système informatique 8, 10, 1 1 , le module de communication 7 transmet ces informations caractéristiques au module d’affichage 9, qui peut par exemple prendre la forme d’un écran 9 de type LCD.  Once this or these characteristic information of the garment 4 carried by the hanger 1 has been received from the computer system 8, 10, 1 1, the communication module 7 transmits this characteristic information to the display module 9, which may for example take the form of a screen 9 type LCD.
Ce module d’affichage 9 affiche ainsi les informations caractéristiques reçues, par exemple la taille du vêtement 4 porté par le cintre 1 , permettant ainsi à un client de déterminer immédiatement si le vêtement lui convient. Dans un mode de réalisation, on peut prévoir d’afficher sur le module d’affichage 9 du cintre 1 portant le vêtement 4, d’autres informations que la ou les informations directement caractéristiques de ce vêtement 4. This display module 9 thus displays the characteristic information received, for example the size of the garment 4 worn by the hanger 1, thus enabling a customer to immediately determine whether the garment is suitable for him. In one embodiment, it is possible to display on the display module 9 of the hanger 1 carrying the garment 4, other information than the directly characteristic information of this garment 4.
Ainsi, lorsque le vêtement 4 fait partie d’une gamme de vêtements, à chaque catégorie dans la gamme correspond une ou plusieurs informations caractéristiques distinctes des informations caractéristiques d’une autre catégorie dans la gamme. Une telle gamme peut par exemple être classiquement définie par des tailles distinctes. A titre d’exemple, pour simplifier, on considère le cas d’une gamme de vêtements 4, avec trois catégories de taille : petite, moyenne, grande.  Thus, when the garment 4 is part of a clothing line, each category in the range corresponds to one or more characteristic information that is distinct from the characteristic information of another category in the range. Such a range may for example be classically defined by different sizes. For example, to simplify, we consider the case of a range of clothes 4, with three size categories: small, medium, large.
Le module de communication 7 peut alors non seulement recevoir, de la part du système informatique 8, 10, 1 1 , la ou les informations caractéristiques, ici la taille, du vêtement 4 porté par le cintre 1 , mais aussi la ou les informations caractéristiques correspondant à une ou plusieurs catégories de la gamme associées à au moins un vêtement 4 disponible dans le stock d’articles géré par ce système informatique 8, 10, 11.  The communication module 7 can then not only receive, from the computer system 8, 10, 1 1, the characteristic information or information, here the size, of the garment 4 worn by the hanger 1, but also the characteristic information or information. corresponding to one or more categories of the range associated with at least one garment 4 available in the stock of articles managed by this computer system 8, 10, 11.
Par exemple, si le vêtement 4 porté par le cintre 1 est de taille moyenne, cette information caractéristique du vêtement 4 est reçue par le module de communication 7 de la part du système informatique 8, 10, 1 1 , transmise au module d’affichage 9 et affichée par ce dernier. Si, dans le stock il existe au moins un vêtement de la même gamme disponible dans une taille différente, par exemple de grande taille, cette information est également reçue par le module de communication 7 de la part du système informatique 8, 10, 11 , transmise au module d’affichage 9 et affichée par ce dernier. Ceci permet par exemple à un client, pour lequel la taille affichée du vêtement 4 porté par le cintre 1 ne convient pas, de savoir immédiatement qu’une autre taille qui pourrait lui convenir, est disponible dans le stock. Eventuellement, il peut être ajouté à cette information de disponibilité une information relative à la quantité disponible. Il en va de même pour l’information de taille du vêtement 4 lui-même, qui peut être assortie du nombre de vêtements de même taille encore disponibles dans le stock.  For example, if the garment 4 worn by the hanger 1 is of average size, this characteristic information of the garment 4 is received by the communication module 7 from the computer system 8, 10, 1 1, transmitted to the display module 9 and displayed by the latter. If, in the stock, there is at least one garment of the same range available in a different size, for example of large size, this information is also received by the communication module 7 from the computer system 8, 10, 11, transmitted to the display module 9 and displayed by the latter. This allows for example to a customer, for which the displayed size of the garment 4 worn by the hanger 1 is not suitable, to know immediately that another size that could suit him, is available in the stock. Optionally, it can be added to this availability information information on the quantity available. The same goes for the size information of the garment 4 itself, which can be matched with the number of clothes of the same size still available in the stock.
Le système informatique 8, 10, 11 de gestion du stock d’articles 4 comprend quant à lui un serveur 8, 10 et une base de données 1 1.  The computer system 8, 10, 11 for managing the stock of articles 4 comprises a server 8, 10 and a database 11.
Le serveur 8, 10, dans l’exemple de la figure 1 , comprend un système 8 mettant en oeuvre des fonctions de communication avec le cintre 1 , et un système 10 mettant en oeuvre des fonctions de gestion informatique du stock de vêtement, notamment de gestion de la base de données 11.  The server 8, 10, in the example of FIG. 1, comprises a system 8 implementing communication functions with the hanger 1, and a system 10 implementing computer management functions of the clothing stock, in particular management of the database 11.
Dans la base de données 1 1 , aussi appelée catalogue 1 1 , sont stockées les informations d’identification de tous les articles gérés, en association avec une ou plusieurs informations caractéristiques de l’article correspondant. Ainsi, lorsque le module de communication 7 du cintre 1 transmet l’information d’identification du vêtement 4 porté par ce cintre 1 au système informatique 8, 10, 11 , cette information est reçue par le système de communication 8, qui la transmet à son tour au système de gestion 10. Le système de gestion 10 interroge la base de données 1 1 , pour obtenir la ou les informations caractéristiques stockées dans la base de données 11 et associées à l’information d’identification du vêtement 4. Cette ou ces informations d’identification sont transmise au système de communication 8, qui les transmet à son tour au module de communication 7 du cintre 1 pour affichage par le module d’affichage 9 de ce cintre 1. In the database 1 1, also called catalog 1 1, are stored the identification information of all the managed articles, in association with one or more characteristic information of the corresponding article. Thus, when the communication module 7 of the hanger 1 transmits the identification information of the garment 4 carried by this hanger 1 to the computer system 8, 10, 11, this information is received by the communication system 8, which transmits it to turn to the management system 10. The management system 10 queries the database 1 1, to obtain the characteristic information stored in the database 11 and associated with the identification information of the garment 4. This or these identification data are transmitted to the communication system 8, which in turn transmits them to the communication module 7 of the hanger 1 for display by the display module 9 of the hanger 1.
Dans le mode de réalisation évoqué plus haut, dans lequel le vêtement 4 identifié par l’information d’identification appartient à une gamme d’articles associés dans la base de données 11 à des informations caractéristiques distinctes, la ou les informations caractéristiques correspondant à cette gamme et associées à au moins un vêtement 4 disponible dans le stock, est également renvoyée par le système de communication 8 au cintre 1.  In the embodiment mentioned above, wherein the garment 4 identified by the identification information belongs to a range of associated items in the database 11 to distinct characteristic information, the characteristic information or information corresponding to this range and associated with at least one garment 4 available in the stock, is also returned by the communication system 8 to the hanger 1.
La présente description est donnée à titre d’exemple et n’est pas limitative de l’invention.  The present description is given by way of example and is not limiting of the invention.
En particulier, l’invention ne se limite pas à un dispositif 1 de type cintre pour accrocher des vêtements à un portant. Elle s’étend à tout dispositif de suspension d’un article 4 quelconque à un présentoir, pour autant qu’il puisse incorporer les modules électroniques 5, 7 et 9, soit par intégration à la fabrication du dispositif, soit par rajout ultérieur.  In particular, the invention is not limited to a device 1 of the hanger type for hanging clothes on a carrier. It extends to any device for suspending any article 4 to a display, provided that it can incorporate the electronic modules 5, 7 and 9, either by integration in the manufacture of the device, or by subsequent addition.
Par ailleurs, les notions de module d’affichage 9, de lecture 5 et de communication 7, sont des notions d’ordre fonctionnel. Ainsi, physiquement, dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l’invention, il est tout à fait possible par exemple que le module de lecture et le module de communication forment un seul et même module électronique.  Moreover, the notions of display module 9, reading 5 and communication 7 are functional concepts. Thus, physically, in a particular embodiment of the invention, it is quite possible for example that the reading module and the communication module form a single electronic module.
Egalement, le serveur d’informatique 8, 10 est décomposé entre un serveur 8 dédié à la communication avec les dispositifs de suspension 1 , et un serveur 10 dédié à la gestion du stock d’articles 4. Toutefois, cette décomposition est purement fonctionnelle. En pratique, il peut tout aussi bien s’agir d’un seul et même serveur configuré de façon appropriée pour mettre en oeuvre les deux fonctions, ou de deux serveurs distincts, ou encore l’une et/ou l’autre des fonctions peuvent être réparties sur plusieurs machines physiques distinctes, distantes ou non.  Also, the computer server 8, 10 is broken down between a server 8 dedicated to the communication with the suspension devices 1, and a server 10 dedicated to the management of the stock of articles 4. However, this decomposition is purely functional. In practice, it may equally well be a single server configured appropriately to implement the two functions, or two separate servers, or one and / or the other of the functions can be distributed over several separate physical machines, remote or not.
C’est le cas aussi pour la base de données 1 1 , présentée de façon distincte sur la figure, mais qui peut tout aussi bien être intégrée au serveur 10 totalement ou partiellement, ou encore localisée sur une ou répartie sur plusieurs machines, distantes ou non. This is also the case for the database 1 1, presented separately in the figure, but which can equally well be integrated into the server 10 totally or partially, or localized on one or distributed on several machines, distant or not.
