Figure 1 is an illustration of a flow diagram according to the present invention.

In the present invention, when a customer purchases a product from a shopping mall, the customer pulls the cart directly. Instead of storing the product one by one, the product scans the barcode or QR code of the product with a smartphone, puts the product in the shopping cart of the smartphone application, This is the invention of how to collect the goods ordered by the customer, deliver them to the customer or provide them on site.

To implement the present invention

A server that stores and retrieves product information, processes payments and orders,

A smartphone app that recognizes your products, communicates with your server, and shows information to your customers

And so on.

You may also need an app that is used by Mart employees to collect additional items.

In order to implement the present invention, a tag must be attached to a product so that a smartphone application can automatically recognize a product. Bar codes or QR codes can be used as an identification tag. Most recently launched smart phones have NFC functions NFC chips can also be used.

Each tag has the following characteristics.

Barcodes are already attached to most products except for some products such as vegetables and fruits, so they can be used immediately.

However, barcode does not have a function to connect directly to home page or app, so it can be used while another app is running.

In the case of QR codes, there are not many products with QR codes yet, but they can be used on the web because they can be connected directly to the homepage or the app, and the advantage is that the web or app can be automatically operated.

In the case of NFC, since there are few products equipped with NFC chips, it is necessary to attach additional chips to each product. In order to do so, it takes a lot of money. Finds the products on display in the shop, shows them to customers and allows them to choose.

In addition, you can use functions that are recognized by your smartphone.

In addition, the location of the tag is slightly different depending on the type of product.

First, a general product with an identification tag attached to the product is available immediately.

Second, it is difficult to attach labels to each product, so it is attached to the store instead of the commodity.

Also, when a plurality of products are displayed in one store, the customer displays a list of the products displayed in the corresponding store as described above, and the customer selects the items.

Third, some products such as vegetables, fruits, or meats are sold by weighing the weight of bags sold in stores and affixing them to bags.

However, in this case, it is necessary to collect the products in the store instead of the warehouse because the products with the corresponding identification tags should be delivered to the customers, not the products in the warehouse. When printing the identification tags, In addition to the product information, it prints out information such as the serial number, and the customer uses the smartphone app to scan the identification tag including the serial number information.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In this description, the case where a dedicated app is used is described as an example.

Step 1, the customer launches the app.

Step 2, the customer browses the store and scans the tag of the product or store with the smartphone if there is a product to purchase.

As described above, when a tag is attached to a product, the product is scanned. If the tag is attached to the tag, the tag attached to the tag is scanned.

As for the merchandise sold by weight, the store salesman measures the weight by putting it in the bag, prints the tag, attaches it to the bag, and scans the tag.

Of course, when the recognition is not possible due to the damage of the identification tag, the contents printed on the identification tag can be viewed and input by the keyboard.

Step 3, the smartphone app retrieves the product or the product displayed in the shop and displays it to the customer through the screen.

If a scanned tag is attached to a shelf where various products are displayed, a list of items displayed on the shelf is displayed and selected by the customer.

At this time, the smartphone app and the server check the inventory and check if they can make a purchase.

Step 4, the customer checks the item, enters the quantity if the item is correct, and places it in the shopping cart of the app.

At this time, you can easily check the list of items in each shopping cart, as well as each product, so that you can easily check the total amount.

Step 5: If you want to purchase more items, proceed to Step 2 to continue shopping. If shopping is completed, go to Step 6.

Step 6, the customer pays for the items in the shopping cart of the smartphone app.

Step 6-1, When the customer selects payment, the smartphone app shows the list of items in the shopping cart and the sum of the items.

Step 6-2 The smartphone app asks if you want to receive the item on-site or deliver it.

If you request delivery, you can add delivery fee, inform delivery time, and enter delivery time.

When requesting the on-site reception, it notifies the estimated waiting time and allows the customer to input the desired reception time.

Step 6-3, ask if you want to buy paper bags or trash bags for packaging.

6-4, If you have a voucher, use the voucher.

Print the QR code to recognize the QR code or use the online voucher so that the voucher can not be tampered with.

In step 6-5, the customer enters or selects the necessary information, and then makes a payment using a smart phone by credit card or bank transfer.

Step 7, When the customer makes a payment, the smartphone app sends the order history to the server and generates an order number.

Check the inventory again in step 6 or 7 and show the customer that you can not place an order if there is no inventory.

If the customer chooses to deliver afterward, he / she can just return home.

If the customer chooses to pick up on-site, wait until they have finished collecting food, drinking in a restaurant in the store, waiting for drinks, or watching other things.

In Step 8, Mart collects the goods ordered by the customer and places them in containers.

At this time, general goods can be collected at each store or from a warehouse. However, in order to collect at each store, it is necessary not only to increase the travel distance and time but also to fill the store with the goods again, Importing is effective.

Of course, if you do not have stock in the warehouse, you can collect them at the store.

On the other hand, a product that stores an identification tag with a bag in a store may bring the same amount of goods in the warehouse, but since it is difficult to match the quantity exactly and the quality of the product selected by the customer may differ, Collects a bag with a tag that matches the information the customer ordered.

It is sold in the quantity but it can be picked up from the warehouse depending on the uniformity of the quality of the product, and the fruit can be collected at the store.

If the customer purchases a paper bag or a garbage bag, place it in the bag.

If not, put it in a temporary container.

Of course, even if you buy an envelope, you can put it in a temporary container and let the customer put it in an envelope.

If you find that your item is out of stock in the process of collecting it, please let the customer know by letter or phone and take the following measures.

Step 9, When product preparation is completed, let customer know through letter or app.

It is possible to inform customers through a device such as a notice board of a restaurant. However, if there are a lot of customers, it is difficult to check on a billboard, and since it is a customer having a smartphone anyway,

Step 10, When the customer asks for the receipt, the Mart employee gives out the item and the customer confirms the goods.

At this time, the smartphone app displays the order number as a bar code or QR code, and when the customer requests the receipt, the mart employee can scan the order number bar code or QR code of the customer smart phone to check.

You may be able to get goods at the exit while you are leaving, but you can arrange a separate exit so that other vehicles will not wait.

If it is contained in a temporary container, the temporary container should be collected after the transfer.

If the customer chooses to pick up the site, and after a certain period of time has passed after payment, if the customer does not receive the goods, he can ask the customer by telephone and cancel by the customer's request or change the method of delivery to delivery.

If you can not contact the customer at this time, you can cancel the order and cancel the payment.

Of course, this information will be announced in advance to minimize customer complaints.

Since the customer does not store the products in the store, the products in the warehouse may be out of stock, so check the inventory at each stage as described above.

If there is a shortage of inventory, you can pay for it before the payment, but if it is found that there is no stock after payment has been completed, proceed as follows.

First, cancel part or cancel if customer wants.

Second, most customers visit the store more than once a week to see the market, so they can reserve the product so that they can pay for the next visit if they are not urgently needed.

Third, the product will be delivered separately.

In addition, it may happen that the product is sold more than the stock, but the story is that the opposite is the case that the product sells more than the existing one.

According to the present invention, since the customer does not need to drag the cart heavily, the space occupied by the cart can be reduced and the space can be widened. Therefore, not only the shopping can be enjoyed pleasantly but also the shopping time can be shortened, It reduces the safety accidents that can occur while on the move, and makes it easy to check the list of items and the total amount in the shopping cart even during shopping, does not need to lengthen the line for payment, It can be confirmed by smart phone.

Because it does not need a cashier in a mart, it can save labor costs, it can reduce the cost of a cart because it does not need a cart, it can reduce labor costs by reducing the number of cart organizers, , The general merchandise is collected from the warehouse, so that it is not necessary to display a large quantity of merchandise in the store, it is possible to display more various merchandise, more people can enjoy the shopping mall, the shopping time is shortened, Sales of restaurants and cafés can be increased, resulting in a significant increase in sales.

Of course, a customer who wants to take a shopping item immediately after shopping may pay for the product in a cart, but if she shortens the collection time at the shopping mart side, it may shorten the time rather than waiting in line for payment.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention and various modifications and alterations are possible within the scope of the invention.

In addition, although the present invention has been described as an example of viewing a chapter in a shopping mart, the present invention can be applied to various offline stores such as department stores and convenience stores.
