Abstract

The present invention is intended to improve distribution chains by allowing, on the one hand, immediate totalling of the price of the articles purchased, thus avoiding the client waiting at the cash desks, and, on the other hand, acquisition of data relating to these same articles, promoting better awareness of the sale as well as easier inventory control. The brief description of the invention is as follows; it comprises: 1. trolleys for use by the customers 1 equipped with a label reader and with a totalling counter C fitted with a memory M storing the information read from the labels E; 2. special labels E containing coded information and printed passive resonance circuits allowing control of the "reading"; 3. a radio transmitter EH with variable frequencies associated with a detector D provided to make the passive resonant circuits printed on the labels pass into resonance if they have not been "read" by the "reader", thus detecting possible theft; 4. an electronic member OC available to the cashiers allowing them to transfer the data temporarily stored in the counters CD of the trolleys into the memories of a central computer MC.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif électronique et informatique destiné à être installé,entre autres,dans les magasins dc distribution alimentaire ou similaires type"Grandes Surfaces"
Jusqu'a présent,dans la majorité des cas,le client de ce gen < e de magasins passe autant de temps,sinon plus,à certaines heures, dans les files d'attente aux caisses de sortie que pour faire ses achats1ce qui décourage de nombreux clients potentiels.The present invention relates to an electronic and computer device intended to be installed, inter alia, in food distribution stores or the like "Large Surfaces"
Up to now, in the majority of cases, customers of this type of store have spent as much time, if not more, at certain hours, in the queues at the checkout counters as they do for their shopping1 which discourages them from many potential customers.

D'autre part,le client ne peut que difficilement se faire une idée du montant de ses achats tant que ceus-ci ne sont pas terminés et totalisés à la caisse. On the other hand, the customer can hardly have an idea of the amount of his purchases until these are not completed and totaled at the checkout.

De même,pour le magasin la gestion des stocks et les statistiques journalières sont difficiles,l'acquisition des données sur les articles vendus étant décalée dans le temps par rapport à la réalité,avec les conséquences que cela implique,entre autres le mauvais approvisionnement des rayons
La présenteinvention permet d'éviter tous ces inconvénients
Le client aura à sa disposition pour faire ses achats un cha iOt équipé d'organes électroniques conçus pour lire et totaliser automatiquement dans un compteur défichable(C D)voir P1 2/2 /fig 1 te nombre d'articles et le prix à payer au fur et à mesure de l'in- production des marchandises achetéea,rendant inutile la totalisation habituelle à la sortie,du prix des articles,lui faisant gagner un temps important. Ces données sont stockées dans une mémoire contenue dans le compteur défichable(C D).Likewise, for the store, inventory management and daily statistics are difficult, the acquisition of data on the items sold being shifted in time compared to reality, with the consequences that this implies, among other things the poor supply of rays
The present invention makes it possible to avoid all these drawbacks
The customer will have at his disposal to make his purchases an iOt cha equipped with electronic devices designed to read and automatically total in a plug-in counter (CD) see P1 2/2 / fig 1 te number of articles and the price to pay at as and when the goods purchased are produced, making the usual tabulation at the outlet unnecessary, of the price of the articles, saving it significant time. These data are stored in a memory contained in the plug-in counter (CD).

Pour le magasin cela permettra l'acquisition immédiate des données concernant les sarchandises vendues,pour la gestion et la sur veillance serrée des stocks et les statistiques journalières et vraisemblablement amènera un afflux de clients supplèmentaires attirés par le gain de temps. For the store this will allow the immediate acquisition of data concerning the goods sold, for the management and close monitoring of stocks and daily statistics and probably will bring an influx of additional customers attracted by the time savings.

On trouvera donc,d'une part les chariots spéciaux mis à la disposition des clients et,d'autre part les articles mis en vente munis d'étiquettes spéciales pouvant être lues par le lecteur équipant chaque chariot. We will therefore find, on the one hand the special carts made available to customers and, on the other hand the items for sale with special labels that can be read by the reader fitted to each cart.

Sur l'étiquette,on trouvera:
te/ En clair:la nature du produiton poids,gon pris
20/En code machine(le mot code machine étant ici pris dans son sens le plus large,ctest à dire lisible par une machine,pas exemple en code binaire ou code barres etc...),le numéro de référence de l'ar vicle,son prix,sa date d'achat et toutes informations utiles pour la gestion des stocks et les statistiques.Pour un contrôle visuel éven- tuel à la sortie,une zone particulière de l'étiquette sera détruite d la lecture.On the label, you will find:
te / Clearly: the nature of the product weight, gon taken
20 / In machine code (the word machine code here being taken in its widest sense, that is to say readable by a machine, not example in binary code or barcode etc ...), the reference number of the ar vicle, its price, date of purchase and all information useful for inventory management and statistics. For a visual check, if any, a particular area of the label will be destroyed during reading.

30/ Un circuit imprimé d'un ou plusieurs bobinages résonnants passifs voir P@ 1 / 2 fig. 1.  30 / A printed circuit of one or more passive resonant windings see P @ 1/2 fig. 1.

Cette étiquette sera constituée de matière souple mais indéchirable,ceci afin de rendre impossible la fraude par destruction partielle en ouvrant la continuité du circuit du(ou dea)bobinage(s) imprimé(s)
Avantageusement l'étiquette sera conçue de façon à être lue par
le lecteur quelle que soit la façon dont elle lui est présentée Elle devra pour cela être imprimée de 2(ou multiple de 2)bobinages résonants(B R)et de 2 zones d'informations codées(IC).Voir Pl. i / 2 fig. 1. This label will be made of flexible but tear-resistant material, this in order to make fraud by partial destruction impossible by opening the continuity of the circuit of the printed coil (s).
Advantageously, the label will be designed so as to be read by
the reader, however it is presented to him, it must therefore be printed with 2 (or multiple of 2) resonant coils (BR) and 2 coded information zones (IC) .See Pl. i / 2 fig . 1.

Cela aura en plus comme avantage que la destruction accidentelle ou volontaire de l'un des circuits passifs de détection ne rende pas inopérante la détection d'un article non pris en compte par le lecteur.Egalement,les bobinages imprimé sur l'étiquette ne seront pas visibles pour le clients seront recouverts d'une pellicule non conductrice(P)non transparente,rendant difficile leur localisation,donc leur destruction volontaire. This will also have the advantage that the accidental or deliberate destruction of one of the passive detection circuits does not make ineffective the detection of an article not taken into account by the reader. Also, the coils printed on the label will not be not visible to customers will be covered with a non-conductive film (P) which is not transparent, making it difficult to locate them, and therefore their voluntary destruction.

L'étiquette(E),qui devra être collée sur une face plane de l'eo- ballage des articles(A),fera saillie sur cette face afin de 'encas- trer lors de l'opération de lecture dans le lecteur(L),dont une partie(la partie active de l'acquisition des données)aura la forme voulue pour cela.Voir Pl. i / 2 fig. 2.  The label (E), which must be stuck on a flat side of the packaging of the articles (A), will protrude on this side in order to be embedded during the reading operation in the reader (L ), part of which (the active part of the data acquisition) will have the desired form for this. See Pl. i / 2 fig. 2.

Lorsque le client choisit un articwe,il l'applique sur le lec teur(L)dont est muni le chariot;cela décltnche,d'une part l'acquisition des données inscrites sur l'étiquette et leur transfert dans la mémoire du compteuret,d'autre part la destruction d'une zone particulière de l'étiquette(comme dit plus haut pour contrôle visuel),mais
également pour ouvrir les circuits des bobinages résonants passifs
imprimés.Pour cela le lecteur est muni d'une source de tension dont
la D.D.P.est appliquée sur les points A et B de l'étiquette au moment
de la lecture.Voir P1. i / 2 fig. i. When the customer chooses an article, he applies it to the reader (L) with which the carriage is fitted; this triggers, on the one hand, the acquisition of the data written on the label and their transfer to the memory of the counter and, on the other hand the destruction of a particular area of the label (as said above for visual control), but
also to open the circuits of passive resonant windings
The reader is provided with a voltage source of which
the PDD is applied to points A and B of the label at the time
of reading, see P1. i / 2 fig. i.

5 Si un article est introduit dans le chariot(ou mis dards la poche
du client)sans avoir été pris en compte par le lecteur,la détection de
cet état de choses se fera de la façon suivante:
Un émetteur hertzien à fréquences variable installé dans chaque cl t(velsion A)balaie entre une fréquence plus grande et une fré pence plus petite que la fréquence de résonance du circuit passif imprimé sur l'étiquette.Si la zone destructible de l'étiquette n'est pas grillée par la lecture,le circuit des bobinages résonnants n'étant pas ouvert,un détecteur associé à l'émetteur réagit lorsque le balayage de fréquences passe par la fréquence de résonance du bobinage imprimé.Cette détection déclenche une signalisation visuelle et/ou sonore alertant le client de "son oubli" Cette alarme sera arrêtée par la lecture de l'étiquette non lue ou la repose de l'article dans le rayon.5 If an item is placed in the cart (or put in the pocket
without being taken into account by the reader, the detection of
this state of things will be done as follows:
A variable frequency radio transmitter installed in each cl t (velsion A) sweeps between a higher frequency and a lower frequency than the resonance frequency of the passive circuit printed on the label.If the destructible area of the label n is not burnt out by reading, the resonant winding circuit not being open, a detector associated with the transmitter reacts when the frequency sweep passes through the resonance frequency of the printed winding. This detection triggers a visual signaling and / or audible alerting the customer of "his forgetfulness" This alarm will be stopped by reading the unread label or putting the article back on the shelf.

Dans la version B,l'émetteur hertzien et la détection associée n'existeront qu'à la sortie,aux caisses. In version B, the radio transmitter and the associated detection will only exist at the exit, at the cash desks.

Le principe de la lecture peur être magnétique ou optique ou autre,l'important étant que l'étiquette dont seront munis les arti- cles mis en vente comporte,d'une part des informations convenables et d'autre part un circuit imprimé passif pouvant être mis hors circuit lors de l'opération de lecture. The principle of reading can be magnetic or optical or other, the important thing being that the label which will be provided with the items offered for sale includes, on the one hand suitable information and on the other hand a passive printed circuit which can be switched off during the read operation.

La mémoire provisoire dont est muni le compteur totalisateur équipant chaque chariot peut être de divers types.On peut citer,entre autres,de la mémoire R.A.M. ou de la mémoire électriquement effacable connue sous le nom technique de E.E.P.R.O.M.Dans le cas ou la mémoire R.A.M. serait employée,le compteur devra avoir Sa propre alimentation autonome afin de ne pas perdre les informations à transférer au moment du défichage. The temporary memory with which the totalizing counter fitted to each trolley is provided can be of various types, including, among others, R.A.M. or from the electrically erasable memory known by the technical name of E.E.P.R.O.M. In the case where the R.A.M. would be used, the meter must have its own autonomous power supply so as not to lose the information to be transferred at the time of processing.

Aux caisses de sortie,le client,grace au compteur totalisateur (CD),sachant dejà ce qu'il a à payer defiche ce dernier qui sert en même temps de mémoire provisoire,le donne à la caissière.Celle-ci devra être équipée d'un matériel électronique permettant de transférer à un ordinateur central,en vue d'un traitement ulterieur,toutes les données inscrites sur les étiquettes. At the checkout counters, the customer, thanks to the counter totalizer (CD), knowing already that he has to pay for the file, which it serves at the same time as a temporary memory, gives it to the cashier. '' electronic equipment making it possible to transfer to a central computer, for further processing, all the data entered on the labels.

Pour la version B le controle automatique confirmant que tous les articles introduits par le client dans le chariot ont été totali séa,n'aura évidemment lieu qu'à la sortie. For version B, the automatic control confirming that all the articles introduced by the customer into the cart have been totaled, will obviously only take place at the exit.

Pour les 2 versîons,les caissières n'accepteront le compteur d'un client et ne lui feront régler ce qui y est affiché que 'il n'y a pas de signalisation de non lecture. For the 2 versions, the cashiers will not accept a customer's counter and will only have them adjust what is displayed there 'there is no non-reading signal.

I1 y a en plus 2 contrôles complémentaires possible:
-1/En comparant le nombre d'articles dans le chariot avec le nombre affiché sur le compteur totalisateur,car ce dernier,non seulement totalisera la somme à payer mais comptera le nombre d'articles pris en compte.There are in addition 2 possible additional controls:
-1 / By comparing the number of items in the cart with the number displayed on the total counter, because the latter will not only total the amount to be paid but will count the number of items taken into account.

-2/Par contrôle visuel,puisque chaque article est muni d'une piquette comportant une zone destructible à la lecture. -2 / By visual control, since each article is provided with a stake including a destructible zone for reading.

Il peut être souhaitable de prévoir une caisse spéciale permettant éventuellement le remboursement d'articles pris en compte par le lecteur mais non désirés par le client,et d'une façon générale pour toute déduction éventuelle. It may be desirable to provide a special cash register possibly allowing the reimbursement of items taken into account by the reader but not desired by the customer, and generally for any possible deduction.

Il est bien évident que la description qui précède n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple non limitatif et que des nom- breuses variantes peuvent être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.  It is obvious that the foregoing description has been given only by way of nonlimiting example and that numerous variants can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
