The operation of the information processing apparatus 2 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the product information table 1000 shown in FIG. 3 and the storage area information table 1001 shown in FIG.

In FIG. 8, the information processing device 2 and the bar code scanner 502 are installed in the center of the register table 506 . The information processing device 2 is provided with a display device 504 and a keyboard 505 . An RFID reader 500 is installed on the entrance side of the register table 506 (to the right of the information processing device 2 and the barcode scanner 502), and a shopping basket 501 is placed on the RFID reader 500. FIG. On the other hand, a container 503 is placed on the exit side (left side of the information processing device 2).

In FIG. 7, the product information acquisition unit 20 waits until it acquires product information and product identification information (No in step S100). In FIG. 8, when the user places a shopping basket 501 containing products to be purchased on the RFID reader 500, the RFID reader 500 starts reading the RFID tag. and product information (Yes in step S100). The product information acquisition unit 20 generates the product information table 1000 using the acquired product identification information and product information, and stores the product information table 1000 in the table storage unit 22 .

Next, the position determining unit 21 groups products based on the temperatures recorded in the product information table 1000 (step S101 in FIG. 7). For example, the position determining unit 21 refers to the temperatures recorded in the product information table 100, and selects products with temperatures of 1 to 3 in the low temperature range, products with temperatures of 4 to 7 in the normal temperature range, and temperatures of 8 to 10 in the low temperature range. Group a product into a hot zone. Specifically, the position determining unit 21 places frozen food and milk among the products recorded in the product information table 1000 shown in FIG. is grouped into the normal temperature range, and the side dish A and the side dish B are grouped into the high temperature range.

Returning to the description of FIG. 7, the position determination unit 21 causes the display device 504 to display a message prompting the input of the type of the container 503 via the notification unit 24, and waits for the input (No in step S102 of FIG. 7). . When the user operates the keyboard 505 shown in FIG. 8 to input the type of container 503, the position determination unit 21 accepts the type of container 503 (Yes in step S102 of FIG. 7). The position determining unit 21 identifies the position and size of each storage area from the storage area information table 1001 based on the received type of storage body 503 and the number of areas of 3 determined in step S101 (step S103 in FIG. 7). . Based on the grouping result, the position determining unit 21 refers to the dimensions stored in the storage area information table 1001 and the weight and strength stored in the product information table 1000, and determines the storage position of the product in the storage area. (Step S104 in FIG. 7).

The operations of steps S103 and S104 will be specifically described. The position determining unit 21 refers to the product information table 1000 and determines the order of priority for determining the storage position for each storage area based on the weight. When determining the order of priority, the numerical values of the weight of the prepared dishes A and B in the high temperature range are the same, so the numerical values of strength are compared to determine the order of priority. The order of priority of each storage area is, in descending order of priority, milk and frozen foods in the low temperature area, water (PET), sake (bottle), canned food, and bread in the room temperature area, and side dish B in the high temperature area. , Side dish A. Then, the position determining unit 21 refers to the dimensions of the storage area information table 1001, applies the solution of the three-dimensional boxing problem in order from the product with the highest priority in each storage area, and when the products overlap vertically, the priority is The taller items are positioned below the shorter items to determine the storage position of each item shown in container 700 in FIG. The position determination unit 21 passes the determined storage position to the notification unit 24 together with the product identification information.

Returning to the description of FIG. 7, the position determination unit 21 determines whether or not all the products can be stored in the storage body 503 (step S105). When the total volume of the products whose storage positions have been determined exceeds the volume of the container 503 by a predetermined value (for example, 10%) or more, the position determining unit 21 determines that the products cannot be stored (No in step S105). If the determination by the position determination unit 21 is that storage is not possible, the notification unit 24 causes the display device 504 to display an alarm that prompts the user to change the type of storage (step S106). Then, the information processing device 2 returns to the process of step S102 for accepting the type of container.

On the other hand, if it is determined that all the products can be stored (Yes in step S105), the information processing device 2 waits for the product registration operation (No in step S107) until it receives an instruction operation for payment processing (Yes in step S108). ). If the product is registered (Yes in step S107), the notification unit 24 notifies the storage position corresponding to the registered product (step S109).

Specifically, when the user reads the two-dimensional code attached to the loaf of bread with the barcode scanner 502, the notification unit 24 displays the message "Please store the loaf of bread in the blinking position." 700 is displayed on the display device 504 (FIG. 5). The user can store the loaf of bread in an appropriate position in the container 503 by checking the storage position of the loaf of bread displayed on the display device 504 .

Returning to the description of FIG. 7, when an instruction operation for payment processing is performed (Yes in step S108), the information processing device 2 performs payment (step S110), and ends the processing. Specifically, the operation for instructing payment processing is an operation for instructing the start of calculation of change after finishing product registration processing. An operation of pressing is included.

When notifying the storage position in step S109, the notification unit 24 may refer to the product information table 100 and notify whether the registered product should be stored vertically or horizontally. For example, when the longest side of the stored product is vertical, it is notified that it is oriented vertically, and when it is horizontal, it is oriented horizontally. In this case, the product information stored in the RFID tag includes, for example, information regarding the direction of the product, such as horizontal or vertical, and vinyl information indicating that the product must be stored in a plastic bag before being stored in the container 503. may contain. In this case, in step S109, the notification unit 24 refers to the product information table and notifies the vinyl information when the product corresponding to the vinyl information is registered.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, each time a product is registered, it is possible to notify the relative storage position of each product in the container. As a result, it is possible to reduce the time required for the user to store the product and the variation in the storage position of the product. It is also expected to shorten the training period for clerks who are unfamiliar with cash register operations.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the case where the information about temperature was included in product information was demonstrated as an example, the information about temperature does not need to be included. In that case, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, the process of grouping products and determining the number of areas by the position determining unit 21 (step S101) is omitted. Further, the processing after step S102 is treated as if the number of regions is one.

Further, the storage medium attached to the product is not limited to the RFID tag, and may be a tag compatible with FeliCa (registered trademark) or an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag.

Further, the case where the notification unit 24 notifies the storage position of the registered product by blinking the storage position has been described as an example, but the form of notification is not limited to this. For example, the storage positions of the products may be displayed in different colors, or the storage positions of the registered products may be displayed by enclosing them with markers. Furthermore, the notification method is not limited to display, and may be, for example, voice.

Moreover, although the case where the product identification information acquired by the product registration unit 23 is read from the two-dimensional code attached to the product has been described as an example, the acquisition method of the product identification information is not limited to this. For example, the product itself without identification information such as a two-dimensional code or price tag may be imaged by an imaging device such as a camera, and the product identification information may be obtained by image analysis of the image. In this case, the feature amount of the product image is stored as the product identification information in the product information table and the RFID tag.

Moreover, although the case where the dimensions of the storage area are specified by receiving the user's input has been described as an example, the method for specifying the dimensions is not limited to this. For example, the dimensions of the container 503 may be measured and identified using an imaging device such as a camera.
