Description

  The present invention relates to a weighing pricing system that issues a pricing label corresponding to a weight when purchasing a product such as a side dish that is sold by self-service in a supermarket or the like.

Conventionally, in a retail store such as a supermarket, after weighing a product such as a side dish, a device for issuing a price label for printing and pasting the price of the product according to its weight has been used. .
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a weighing and selling system that measures and sells an amount of merchandise that a purchaser desires to purchase through self-service in a supermarket or the like.

In this weighing and selling system, the purchaser has a shopping card for recording information such as weight data and price of the product sold by weight, and only when the shopping card is detected by the shopping card detection means, By allowing the products to be separated, illegal weighing and purchase due to a mismatch between the actually purchased product and the pricing label attached thereto is prevented.
Japanese Patent No. 3371821 (registered on November 22, 2002)

However, the conventional weighing pricing system has the following problems.
That is, in the weighing pricing system disclosed in the above publication, in order to prevent unauthorized weighing, it is necessary for all purchasers to have a shopping card, and the shopping card is passed through the detector at every purchase. It was necessary and the work at the time of purchase was complicated.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a weighing pricing system capable of preventing unauthorized purchases while reducing the burden on the purchaser when purchasing products for sale by weight without using a shopping card or the like. is there.

  A weighing pricing system according to a first aspect of the present invention is a weighing pricing system that performs weighing of self-service weighing products and issues a pricing label, and includes a first weighing unit, a second weighing unit, and a control unit. And a label issuing unit. A 1st measurement part measures the weight displacement at the time of transferring goods to a predetermined container. A 2nd measurement part measures the goods put into the container with the container. The control unit compares the weighing results of the plurality of products weighed in the first weighing unit with the weighing results in the second weighing unit. The label issuing unit issues a priced label on which information including the amount of the product in the container placed on the second weighing unit is printed based on the comparison result.

Here, two weighing units are provided in a weighing pricing system that issues a pricing label including a price determined by weighing a product sold by weight.
Specifically, for example, the weighing pricing system is placed in a purchase container and a first weighing unit that measures the amount of products such as sugar beet on a platter transferred to the purchase container. A second weighing unit for weighing the product again. When a purchaser purchases a product sold by scale by self-service, first, the product is transferred to the container by the amount purchased from the platter. At this time, the first weighing unit recognizes the weight value transferred from the platter to the container and the type of product on the platter. Next, the purchaser moves to the second weighing unit and weighs the product to be purchased together with the container. At this time, the control unit compares whether or not the weight value of the product whose weight value has been reduced in the first weighing unit matches the weight value of the product weighed in the second weighing unit. Here, if the weight value reduced in the first weighing unit and the weight value of the product excluding the tare weight in the second weighing unit match, the recognized product and the product in the label issuing unit. A price label including price information is issued based on the price per unit weight and the weight value.

Accordingly, whether or not illegal weighing is performed depending on whether or not the weight value data that matches the weight value measured in the second weighing unit is included in the weight value measured in the first weighing unit. Can be determined. As a result, after the weighing and labeling is issued in the first weighing unit, the product is further transferred from the platter to the container, and the amount of the product actually purchased and the weight printed on the label are not matched. Thus, it is possible to effectively prevent the purchaser from using a storage card or the like every time the purchase is made.
In addition, about the comparison of the weight value in a 1st measurement part and a 2nd measurement part, for example, you may determine whether it corresponds completely to 1/100 g, and if it is in a predetermined error range, It may be determined that they match.

  The weighing pricing system according to the second invention is the weighing pricing system according to the first invention, and the control unit also agrees with the name of the commodity inputted when the weighing is performed in the second weighing unit. Compare whether or not.

Here, the product whose weight has been reduced in the first weighing unit and the weight value of the reduced amount, and the product name and its weight that are selected and input while being monitored, for example, when weighing in the second weighing unit Get each value. When the product name and the weight value match, the label issuing unit issues a priced label for the product.
This makes it possible to find a matching weight value from a plurality of data and perform a more accurate determination as compared with a case where it is determined whether or not unauthorized weighing is performed by comparing only the weight value. it can.

A weighing pricing system according to a third invention is the weighing pricing system according to the first or second invention, and issues a warning when there is no matching weighing value as a result of comparison in the control unit. A warning part is further provided.
Here, as a result of comparing the weight values weighed in the first and second weighing units in the control unit, if there is no matching data, the warning unit emits an error sound or displays an error screen, for example. I will let you.
Thereby, when trying to purchase goods by illegally weighing, it is possible to prevent purchase by illegal weighing by notifying the purchaser through an error screen or the like.

  A weighing pricing system according to a fourth invention is the weighing pricing system according to any one of the first to third inventions, wherein the control unit is configured to transfer a plurality of products to the container. Calculates the price of a product based on the unit price of a plurality of products.

Here, for example, even when a plurality of types of products are purchased from a plurality of products on a large plate and purchased in one container, it can be easily determined whether or not unauthorized weighing is performed. .
As a result, for products with the same unit price per unit weight, even when multiple products are transferred to a single container, the amount is accurately calculated based on the unit price per unit weight and its weight value, as described above. Can be calculated.

A weighing pricing system according to a fifth invention is a weighing pricing system according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, wherein the first weighing unit transfers a product to a container by a purchaser. When is completed, it has an informing unit for informing for prohibiting the transfer operation of the product to another container until the measurement result is confirmed.
Here, for example, in the first weighing unit, when the transfer operation is completed when the plate is transferred from the platter to the container, a warning lamp is set so that other purchasers do not perform the transfer operation from the platter to the container. Notification is performed by a method such as turning on.

  This avoids the product being transferred from the same platter to another container by another purchaser, and can secure time for calculating the final weighing result. The final weighing result of the purchaser who has finished taking the product can be obtained accurately.

A weighing pricing system according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the weighing pricing system according to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the invention, in which the first weighing unit can be transferred to the container by the purchaser. It further has a completion input section that is pressed when completed.
Here, when the transfer of the product to the container is completed, the purchaser presses the completion button (completion input unit) provided in the first weighing unit, thereby weighing the product in the first weighing unit. Start.
Thereby, since the purchaser can grasp | ascertain the timing which finished the operation | work which transfers the desired quantity of goods to a container, the last measurement result can be calculated | required correctly.

A weighing pricing system according to a seventh invention is a weighing pricing system according to the sixth invention, wherein the first weighing unit has received an input indicating that the transfer of goods has been completed to the completion input unit. In addition, it further includes an additional reception unit for inputting the information when the product is transferred to the same container.
Here, if the purchaser once completes the transfer of the product from the platter or the like to the container and then wants to add the product to the same container, the purchaser is provided with an additional reception unit provided in the first weighing unit. Enter to add.

  Thereby, after performing the process which completes a transfer operation | work, when goods are added to the same container, the weight value of the added goods can be acquired as additional data. As a result, the control unit compares the weight value data of the additional weight value data and the already received weight value data with the weight value data weighed in the second weighing unit, and performs illegal weighing. It can be determined whether or not.

A weighing pricing system according to an eighth invention is the weighing pricing system according to any one of the first to seventh inventions, wherein the price label is transferred to a product name and a container. Information including the weight of the product and its price is printed.
Here, information including the product name, weight, and price is printed on the pricing label that is issued when the measurement results in the first and second weighing units match the product name.

  By displaying the product name, weight, and price in the price label, the price label issued in this weighing price system is pasted to the container where the product has been transferred, and payment at the cash register is made. It can be done easily.

  According to the weighing and pricing system of the present invention, after weighing and issuing a label in the first weighing unit, the quantity of the product actually purchased by transferring the product from the platter to the container and the weight printed on the label match. It is possible to effectively prevent unauthorized purchases from being made without forcing the purchaser to use a means such as a memory card for each purchase.

Each part which comprises is made to perform the measurement pricing process mentioned later.

As shown in FIG. 4, the communication port 17 is connected to the communication ports 1 b to 4 b mounted on each of the anchors 1 to 4, and the measurement result and the product name of each of the anchors 1 to 4 to each of the anchors 1 to 4. Etc. are received.
<Procedure for Weighing Pricing Processing by Weighing Pricing System 100>
The flow of the metric pricing process in the metric pricing system 100 of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6, first, in step S <b> 1, the control unit 70 starts to distribute the products from the platters T <b> 1 to T <b> 4 to the container C in any of the sublimation weighing systems 10 side. In step S2, until the sorting completion button 8a attached to the display 8 on the front side of the cracks 1 to 4 where sorting has started is pressed, that is, the customer only needs the product to the container C. Wait until the process is completed. In addition, in the control part 70 of the label issuing machine 20, the start of the arrangement | positioning in step S1 shall be detected when the weight value of each of the cracks 1-4 changes.

Here, when the sorting completion button 8a is pressed in step S2, the lighting color of the notification lamp 7 is changed from green to red in step S3, and then the product sorted into the container C by the customer in step S4. The weight value (the weight value corresponding to the decrease in the peels 1 to 4) is determined.
Next, in step S5, the lighting color of the notification lamp 7 is returned from red to green, and in step S6, information on the weight value determined in step S4 and the product name is transmitted to the label issuing machine 20 side. To do.

  Next, in step S <b> 7, it is determined whether or not the additional button 8 b attached to the front display 8 of the cracks 1 to 4 has been pressed. Here, if it is not pressed, the process proceeds to step S8 as it is, and if it is pressed, the process returns to step S2 in order to again distribute the product to the same container C, until the separation completion button 8a is pressed. stand by. When the add button 8b is pressed, data such as a weight value transmitted to the label issuing machine 20 side in subsequent step S6 is transmitted as additional data. In the label issuing machine 20 that has received the data, the control unit 70 records these data in the RAM 73 as shown in FIG.

Next, in step S8, the customer who has completed the separation of the product to be purchased in the container C moves to the label issuing machine 20 side.
Next, in step S9, the type of the product divided from Hakari 1 to 4 is selected and input from the product selection screen 24a displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 24 as shown in FIG. Since the liquid crystal monitor 24 is a touch panel type, the customer only has to press the product name portion to be selected on the liquid crystal monitor 24.

Next, in step S10, the weight of only the product is weighed, except for the tare weight of the container C, by the weighing unit 22 on the label issuing machine 20 side with respect to the product sorted by the customer.
Next, in step S11, the control unit 70 compares a plurality of pieces of data received from the cracks 1 to 4 in which the products are sorted in step S6 and recorded in the RAM 73 with the measurement result and the product name in step S10. To do. Here, when there is data in which the combination of the product name and the weight value matches in the data recorded in the RAM 73, it is determined that improper weighing has not been performed, and the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if there is no matching data, it is determined that there is a possibility that illegal weighing has been performed, and the process proceeds to step S13. In addition, the illegal measurement referred to here is a case in which, after determining the weight of the product allocated to the container C in the subtraction weighing system 10, the product is further added to the container C without pressing the add button 8b. That's it.

In the comparison in step S11, the weight values do not need to be completely matched. For example, when the error values are within an error range of ± 1 g, the control unit 70 determines that these data match. .
In step S12, assuming that no illegal weighing has been performed, as shown in FIG. 5B, information on the product name, weight, unit price, and price displayed on the sticker issue screen 24b of the liquid crystal monitor 24 is used as it is. The printed label is issued, and the process returns to step S1 again.

On the other hand, in step S13, it is assumed that there is a possibility that illegal weighing has been performed. As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the LCD monitor 24 displays “No matching product” and displays an attendant. A warning screen 24c that prompts the user to call is displayed.
In the weighing pricing system 100 according to the present embodiment, as described above, in the sales floor where a customer sells and purchases as many products as he / she likes, the weighing when the products in the subtraction weighing system 10 are separated. In addition, the customer is allowed to weigh the goods at another different location (label issuing machine 20 side).

Thereby, it is possible to effectively prevent an illegal measurement by adding the product after the product is separated into the container C and measured without using a recording means such as a shopping card.
[Features of the measurement pricing system 100]
(1)
As shown in FIG. 4, the weighing and pricing system 100 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the sublimation weighing system 10 on the side of the subtraction weighing system 10 that measures the reduced weight of the products placed on the platters T1 to T4, A weighing unit 22 on the label issuing machine 20 that weighs the goods separated from T4 into the container C together with the container C, a control unit 70 that compares the weighing result in the cracks 1 to 4 and the weighing result in the weighing unit 22; And a label issuing machine 20 that issues a label including the price of the product based on the comparison result in the section 70.

  For example, in a conventional weighing pricing system that issues a pricing label when a customer completes sorting and weighing of products from a platter to a container in a crisp, if a product is added to the container C after that, Even if the weight value printed on the label does not match the weight value of the product actually put in the container, weigh-in sales by illegal weighing that can pass through the cash register without paying the amount of the added product May be purchased.

In the weighing / pricing system 100 of the present invention, the breakers 1 to 4 that perform weighing when the products are separated from the platters T1 to T4 into the container C, and the weighing unit 22 that performs weighing to issue a label for pricing, Are provided separately.
As a result, even if a product is added to the container C after the label is issued, the label is issued when it is measured by the measuring unit 22 on the label issuing machine 20 side. Can prevent the purchase of goods. Also, in order to prevent such illegal weighing purchases, it is not necessary for the customer to have a recording means like a conventional shopping card. We can have you purchase product smoothly.

(2)
In the measurement pricing system 100 of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, when comparing the measurement result on the side of the cracks 1 to 4 and the measurement result in the measurement unit 22, the product of the measured product The names are also compared to determine whether both data match.
Thereby, the accuracy of determination can be improved by increasing the parameter used for determination compared with the case where it is determined whether only the weight value is compared to determine whether or not they match. Furthermore, since the weight value data to be compared can be narrowed down by comparing the product names, the comparison process in step S11 can be performed more efficiently.

(3)
In the measurement pricing system 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, as a result of comparing the measurement result on the side of the cracks 1 to 4 and the measurement result in the measurement unit 22, it is determined that there is no matching data in the RAM 73. If it is, a warning screen 24c is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 24 of the label issuing machine 20, as shown in FIG.

Thereby, when there is a possibility that illegal weighing has been performed, it is possible to prevent the purchase of a product by illegal weighing by notifying the customer of that fact.
(4)
In the weighing and pricing system 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the sorting of the products from the platters T1 to T4 to the container C is completed in step S2 and the sorting completion button 8a is pressed, the step In S3, the lighting color of the notification lamp 7 shown in FIG. 2 is switched from green to red.

  As a result, customers other than the customer who is weighing at that time recognize that it is prohibited to separate products from the same platters T1 to T4 into the container C until the lighting color of the notification lamp 7 returns to green. can do. As a result, it is possible to prevent other customers from separating the products from the platters T1 to T4 to their own containers C until the weight value of the product that the previous customer has sorted into the container C is finalized. The result can be obtained with high accuracy.

(5)
In the weighing pricing system 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, each input unit is pressed when the separation of the products from the platters T <b> 1 to T <b> 4 to the container C is completed in step S <b> 2 shown in FIG. 6. A split completion button 8a is provided for the crackles 1 to 4.
As a result, when the product is sorted from the platters T1 to T4 to the container C, it is determined whether the amount to be sorted is lost or whether the sorting to the container C is completed. It can be easily grasped on the ˜4 side. As a result, it becomes possible to accurately measure the final measurement result by accurately recognizing the timing when the separation of the products from the platters T1 to T4 is completed.

(6)
In the weighing pricing system 100 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, as an input unit that is pressed when it is desired to add a product to the same container C after the sort completion button 8a is pressed in step S2 of FIG. In addition, an additional button 8b is provided for each of the cracks 1 to 4.
As a result, even after the sorting completion button 8a is pressed and the sorting is completed, it is possible to cope with a case where the customer recalls and wants to add more products to the same container C. Then, after the addition button 8b is pressed, the weight value measured in each of the cracks 1 to 4 is transmitted as additional data to the label issuing machine 20 side, and the additional data is added when the control unit 70 compares the data. It is possible to determine whether or not they match with each other.

(7)
In the weighing pricing system 100 of the present embodiment, when a label is issued in step S12 shown in FIG. 6, information including the product name, weight value, price, etc. is printed as it is as shown in FIG. 5B. Is done.
Thereby, by sticking this label to the container C into which the products separated from the platters T1 to T4 are put, it is possible to easily settle the products sold by weight at the cash register.

[Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention.
(A)
In the above-described embodiment, the weighing value system 100 compares the weight value and the product name of the product that has been subtracted and weighed in Hakari 1 to 4 with the measurement result in the label issuing machine 20 and the product name input by the customer. In the above description, an example of determining whether or not incorrect weighing is performed according to whether or not there is a match is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the product name input by the customer may be a system that performs the above determination according to whether or not there is a matching weight value only by the weight value without using the comparison material. At this time, even if the determination is made using only the weight value in consideration of the low probability that the weight of the product artificially separated using the tool E is substantially the same, as described above, It is possible to effectively prevent illegal weighing.

  However, for example, when handling a product whose weight value is determined by the number, such as meat croquette or vegetable croquette, the weight value of the same two croquettes is considered to be approximately the same. The product name and the weight value are compared as in the above embodiment in that it is determined whether or not the product weighed in -4 and the product weighed in the label issuing machine 20 are more accurately matched. More preferably, the determination is performed.
