La présente invention concerne un système informatique pour proposer à la vente et vendre les articles d'un magasin
Le problème que cherche à résoudre la présente invention est de proposer un système qui permette à une personne de pouvoir visiter un magasin et éventuellement acheter un article alors que ce magasin est fermé et qu'elle se trouve devant. Cette personne pourrait rentrer chez elle pour consulter le site Internet du magasin en question. Cela suppose qu'elle dispose des moyens pour pouvoir se connecter sur le réseau Internet. De plus, cela pose le problème de la recherche de l'adresse du site en question, du coût de la consultation supportée par la personne. Cela pose le problème, pour l'achat, de la confidentialité concernant l'identificateur de carte bancaire
Pour résoudre ces problèmes, l'invention propose l'utilisation d'un système informatique qui comprend une unité centrale où sont gérées les informations concernant le magasin, un clavier et un écran.
The present invention relates to a computer system for offering for sale and selling the items of a store.
The problem that the present invention seeks to solve is to provide a system which allows a person to be able to visit a store and possibly buy an item while this store is closed and when it is in front. This person could go home to visit the store's website. This assumes that it has the means to be able to connect to the Internet. In addition, this poses the problem of finding the address of the site in question, the cost of the consultation borne by the person. This poses the problem, for the purchase, of confidentiality concerning the bank card identifier
To solve these problems, the invention proposes the use of a computer system which comprises a central unit where information concerning the store is managed, a keyboard and a screen.

Selon la présente invention, d'une part, ledit clavier est à touches sensitives et est fixé sur la face interne de la vitrine dudit magasin et, d'autre part, ledit écran fait face à la vitrine de manière qu'un utilisateur puisse voir depuis l'extérieur les informations affichées sur ledit écran.  According to the present invention, on the one hand, said keyboard is with sensitive keys and is fixed on the internal face of the window of said store and, on the other hand, said screen faces the window so that a user can see from outside the information displayed on said screen.

Cette solution suppose bien entendu que ledit magasin soit pourvu d'une vitrine.  This solution of course presupposes that said store is provided with a showcase.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit clavier comporte une zone sensitive pouvant simuler le fonctionnement d'une souris ou d'un pavé tactile.  According to another characteristic of the invention, said keyboard includes a sensitive area which can simulate the operation of a mouse or a touchpad.

Les caractéristiques de l'invention mentionnées ci-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec la Fig. unique jointe montrant un système informatique selon l'invention installé sur la vitrine d'un magasin.  The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being given in relation to FIG. single attached showing a computer system according to the invention installed on the window of a store.

A la Fig. unique, on a représenté une vitrine 10 d'un magasin derrière laquelle ont été installés l'écran 21 et le clavier 22 d'un système informatique 20.  In Fig. a single window has been shown 10 of a store behind which the screen 21 and the keyboard 22 of a computer system 20 have been installed.

Ce système informatique 20 comporte de plus une unité centrale 24.  This computer system 20 further comprises a central unit 24.

L'écran 21 est d'un type classique (écran à tube cathodique, écran à cristaux liquides, etc. ), et l'image qu'il visualise est visible de l'extérieur du magasin au travers de la vitrine 10.  The screen 21 is of a conventional type (cathode ray tube screen, liquid crystal screen, etc.), and the image which it visualizes is visible from outside the store through the display case 10.

Le clavier 22 est du type à touches sensitives, c'est-à-dire qu'il suffit d'approcher, même à travers l'épaisseur d'une vitrine, un doigt d'une de ses touches pour l'activer.  The keyboard 22 is of the type with sensitive keys, that is to say that it suffices to approach, even through the thickness of a display case, a finger of one of its keys to activate it.

Par exemple, il utilise une technologie de haute fréquence selon laquelle lorsqu'un doigt se trouve à proximité d'une touche, le signal haute fréquence émis par un oscillateur est For example, it uses high frequency technology whereby when a finger is near a key, the high frequency signal from an oscillator is

<Desc/Clms Page number 2><Desc / Clms Page number 2>

atténué, cette atténuation étant alors détectée pour la caractérisation de la touche concernée.  attenuated, this attenuation then being detected for the characterization of the key concerned.

Chaque touche est par exemple constituée d'une plaque conductrice reliée à une source de tension à haute fréquence. Lorsqu'un utilisateur pose le doigt sur la vitre en face de cette plaque, le signal HF est perturbé par l'effet du condensateur dont une armature est la plaque conductrice et l'autre le doigt de l'utilisateur et dont le diélectrique est la vitre de la vitrine. La détection de cette perturbation active le déclenchement de la touche correspondante.  Each key is for example made up of a conductive plate connected to a high frequency voltage source. When a user places his finger on the glass opposite this plate, the HF signal is disturbed by the effect of the capacitor, one armature of which is the conductive plate and the other the finger of the user, the dielectric of which is the window glass. The detection of this disturbance activates the triggering of the corresponding key.

Il pourrait également s'agir d'un clavier du type à ultrasons dont le fonctionnement est sensiblement équivalent à celui qui vient d'être décrit.  It could also be a keyboard of the ultrasonic type, the operation of which is substantially equivalent to that which has just been described.

Ce clavier 22 est fixé, par exemple par collage, sur la face de la vitre qui se trouve à l'intérieur du magasin. On notera que la sensibilité des touches doit être suffisante pour qu'un doigt de l'utilisateur pointant une touche à travers la vitrine puisse être détecté par le clavier 22. Par ailleurs, ce clavier 22 comporte une zone sensitive 23 pouvant simuler le fonctionnement d'une souris ou d'un pavé tactile (communément appelé"touchpad".  This keyboard 22 is fixed, for example by gluing, on the face of the glass which is inside the store. It will be noted that the sensitivity of the keys must be sufficient so that a finger of the user pointing a key through the display case can be detected by the keyboard 22. Furthermore, this keyboard 22 includes a sensitive area 23 which can simulate the operation of 'a mouse or touchpad (commonly known as a "touchpad".

Le système informatique 20 peut encore comporter un terminal de paiement 25 pour le règlement d'achats par carte de paiement. Il comporte une fente 25a pour l'introduction de ladite carte de paiement, laquelle est en correspondance avec une fente dans la vitre de la vitrine du magasin. L'utilisateur pourra entrer son code d'identification au moyen du clavier 22.  The computer system 20 may also include a payment terminal 25 for the payment of purchases by payment card. It has a slot 25a for the introduction of said payment card, which is in correspondence with a slot in the window of the store window. The user can enter their identification code using the keyboard 22.

L'unité centrale 24 du système informatique 20 est prévue pour recevoir les ordres issus du clavier 22 et de sa zone 23, et pour visualiser des informations sur l'écran 21. Ces informations concernent par exemple la présentation du magasin, un catalogue des produits qui sont vendus ou susceptibles d'être vendus par le magasin, et d'autres pages de fournitures ou de demandes de renseignements concernant le magasin ou l'acheteur potentiel. L'unité centrale 24 du système informatique 20 peut également être reliée à un réseau R qui est par exemple le réseau Internet. L'utilisation du réseau Internet peut être limitée à l'accès à la seule messagerie électronique du magasin où est installé le système de la présente invention.  The central unit 24 of the computer system 20 is designed to receive orders from the keyboard 22 and its area 23, and to display information on the screen 21. This information relates for example to the presentation of the store, a catalog of products that are sold or likely to be sold by the store, and other pages of supplies or inquiries regarding the store or the potential buyer. The central unit 24 of the computer system 20 can also be connected to a network R which is for example the Internet network. The use of the Internet may be limited to access to the electronic mail only of the store where the system of the present invention is installed.

L'utilisation d'un tel système est maintenant décrite.  The use of such a system is now described.

Lorsqu'un utilisateur souhaite consulter ou acheter un produit normalement vendu par le magasin où est installé le système de l'invention, soit parce que le magasin est fermé, soit parce que cet utilisateur ne veut pas entrer dans le magasin, il peut  When a user wishes to consult or buy a product normally sold by the store where the invention system is installed, either because the store is closed, or because this user does not want to enter the store, he can
