Description

Utilization of Unmanned Calculation by Using Pen Pen {Unmanned calculation utilization scheme of using a shopping pen}

The present invention is for minimizing waiting time and inconvenience by a customer purchasing goods at a large-sized mart or convenience store, calculating a waiting time at the counter and calculating a purchased product by a cashier at a counter at a counter, The present invention relates to a method for reducing shopping time and enhancing convenience by directly scanning a bar code of a purchased product using a shopping pen, collectively transferring and collecting purchase items in an unmanned cash register in a cart.

In modern society, there is an increasing number of dual-income couples, and there are more and more situations in which couples watch the chapters after work or watch the chapters on weekends. Therefore, with the help of information technology, there is an increasing need to increase leisure utilization through personal convenience and time saving.

(2) shopping cart, (3) waiting for the calculation, (4) moving the cart product directly to the counter, (5) scanning the purchased product, , (6) purchase goods payment, and (7) payment of purchased goods. Therefore, it is demanded that the convenience of the user to use the unmanned calculation system is shortened to shorten the step of the shopping and to increase the leisure time.

Therefore, it takes about 20 minutes to complete the calculations at waiting time at each checkout desk for the calculation of the customer's weekday or weekend shopping. The congestion around the counter must be very congested and the calculation process improved.

We need to innovate the above procedure for unmanned automated calculation of the future. It is possible to reduce the time of the customer's access time and increase the leisure time, and provide more innovation to the employer by reducing the labor cost, space and minimizing the stock price space.

In order to apply the present invention, the following steps for carrying out the presenting procedure for the customer to realize the shopping and solve the unmanned calculation directly are as follows.

The customer selects the cart directly from the entrance for the shopping at a large shopping mall, selects the purchase item on the shelf, and puts it in the cart.

After finishing the shopping, the customer moves the cart to the counter for the calculation and waits for the calculation. When the customer's order is calculated, the customer puts the purchase item directly on the cash register. The cashier makes the computer recognize the bar code through the scanner of the POS SYSTEM.

In order to pay for the purchase items recognized by the computer, the customer provides the card, cash, voucher, etc., and the cashier performs payment of the payment.

After the settlement, the customer carries out the task of putting the purchased product, which has been carried out, into the purchase envelope and card directly.

The customer has a lot of inconvenience to the customer after the purchase, and the employer carries out the process of recognizing the product and paying only by inputting the cashier. In other words, there are inconveniences to the customer by performing the process such as a lot of waiting time to the customer and moving to the checkout point of the purchased product directly by the customer.

Therefore, in order to switch to the unmanned calculation system for the convenience of the shopping, the shopping process should be improved drastically.

In order to improve the unmanned calculation system, the present invention allows a customer to purchase and use a shopping pens, selects a purchase item on the product shelf, scans the bar code of the product using the shopping pen before putting it in the cart, However, before shopping, the customer initializes (K6) the previous bar code information stored in the memory of the pen.

After finishing the shopping, the customer moves the cart to the floor electronic balance of the unmanned calculation system (Figure 2). Transfer the bar code to the unmanned calculation system of the barcode of the purchased product using the transfer button (K7) within 10 cm of the Bluetooth pen of the unmanned calculation system.

The unmanned calculation system will help the cashier to operate the red lamp at the top if the purchased item on the electronic balance is not consistent with the data transmitted from the pen. When the purchased item of the cart matches the bar code information of the shopping pen, the customer performs approval and signing of the credit card using the approval button of the approval screen on the touch screen of the screen of the unmanned calculation system, And the settlement receipt.

Since the above process is operated by an unmanned calculation system without a cashier, the following solutions are suggested to ensure the correspondence between the complete theft loss countermeasure and cart purchase product and the unmanned calculation system.

First, the business owner inputs the product number and the sales amount when registering the information of the product to be sold on the server to the server, but in the present invention, the product weight (g unit) is further registered in the database. In the case of vegetables and fruits, the solution that the customer purchases as much as necessary is to output the weight (in g unit) to the additional barcode by attaching the weight to the purchased product in the process of weighting the barcode on the scale of the display rack Scanning with a stationary pen. Therefore, we upgrade the bar code that adds the weight (in g units) of the existing bar code issuing scale.

Second, when the basic precondition is solved, the customer puts the purchased product scanned with the shopping pens in a cart and sends the weight of the total purchased product (cart + purchased item) when it is placed on the electronic balance of the unmanned calculation system. Therefore, if the total weight of the purchased item of the electronic balance is compared with the total weight of the weight (g unit) recorded in the purchase item transferred from the pen, the flow proceeds to the approval process and the blue of the unattended payment system The warning light turns on. If the total weight is different, ask the cashier for help by turning on the red warning light. Therefore, as a solution to the problem, it is possible to prevent perfect theft and improve the accuracy of the purchased product.

The present invention can solve the inconvenience of moving the purchase item to the waiting time and the counter for calculation after the customer completes the shopping at the shopping mall. Purchase items are transferred to the unmanned calculation system by the use of a shopping pens, and the customer can directly calculate and provide time saving and convenience.

The employer minimizes the sales damage by reducing the complexity of the calculation space, reducing the labor cost, and eliminating the complexity of the parking space. Therefore, it is a true differentiation effect of the unmanned calculation system using the pen.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention is a method for purchasing a shopping cart, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a purchase item from a shopping mall, scanning the barcode of the product with a shopping pen, After finishing the shopping, the cart is moved to the large-mat unmanned calculation system (Fig. 2) for the calculation. The cart containing the purchased product is placed on the electronic scale. The customer places the barcode information of the purchased product stored in the shopping pens, (K7) within 10cm on the Bluetooth pad of the Bluetooth card, the bar code information stored in the flash memory is transmitted to the large-mat unmanned calculation system, The purchase information is compared with the sum information of the electronic balance to confirm the purchase correspondence. The customer completes his / her shopping through the following procedure with payment by card. Therefore, it shows the characteristics of shopping efficiency of customers and employers by carrying out shopping at large marts.

When purchasing such a shopping bag, it is very important to solve the problem of lost product and security system of real purchase item, and it can influence the success or failure of commercialization. These challenges include:

The item information and the amount of money are managed in the product information of the existing server, and additionally, the weight (g) of the product is recorded. In the configuration of the large-scale unmanned calculation system (Fig. 2), the cart weight (g) and the basket weight (g) are recorded and managed. In addition, in the case of purchased products based on the purchase weight such as fruit, a bar code is printed on the bar code output scale of the on-site bar code output device, including a product code, an amount, and a weight, to attach a bar code sticker to a product based on the weight.

Total gross weight (g) of gross purchasing product weight (g) and total weight of product transferred from electronic balance (g) and total purchased product weight (g) are calculated by transferring total purchased bar code information of customer's pen ), The success bell J2 of the large mat unmanned calculation system operates, and in case of inconsistency, the help bell J1 operates. If the help bell works, a help bell that works for the help of the mart staff works.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When customers carry out a shopping bag, the customer uses a shopping pens to carry out shopping on the shelves of large-format marts. In the case of the initial shopping, the initialization button K6 for the previous barcode information recorded in the shopping pen is initialized to initialize the barcode in the flash memory. When the customer places the barcode information of the purchased product in the scanning area K1 of the shopping pen and presses the scan button K5, the barcode information outputs the barcode to the display area K2, and the success lamp K4 and the failure lamp K3 And at the same time "twitch" sound to the speaker (K12). The barcode information is recorded in the internal flash memory of the pen. The purchase items registered in the shopping pens are put in cart.

 After the completion of the shopping, the purchased goods in the cart are moved to the large-mat unmanned calculation system (Fig. 2). The procedure for the calculation is to select the cart, basket, and plastic bag condition using the touch screen J11 on the screen J10. Later, the customer places the cart on the electronic scale (J8), touches the transfer button on the screen, touches the pen (Figure 1) with the Bluetooth calculation pad (J9) and presses the calculation button (K7) The barcode information recorded in the flash memory is transmitted in connection with the large-mat unmanned calculation system (FIG. 2), and the purchased product information is displayed on the screen on the screen J10.

Figure 2 summarizes the gross weight (g) of the total purchased quantity of purchased product information sent by the shopping pens and the basic weight of the cart initially selected from the total purchased product weight transferred from the electronic scale (J8) g), the success bell J2 is activated when the purchase commodity is matched. If the purchase bell J1 is not matched, the failure bell J1 is operated, Ask for help from an employee. If they do not match exactly, you can not move to the next step of the calculation. This procedure is the procedure for confirming the correct purchase. If you cancel your purchase, you can delete the purchase item through the screen and you must remove the purchase item from the cart. In addition, when adding a purchased product, the barcode scan is carried out using a scanner (J7) of a large-sized unattended calculation system (FIG. 2) and put in a cart. Even when adding a purchased product, the total weight g of the purchased product is checked through the weight of the electronic balance J8.

 After the check of the final purchase item is completed, a calculation button is selected on the screen J10 to insert the customer's payment card into the card reader J3. When the signature J5 is completed according to the payment screen, Prints the statement of details and the statement of statement of payment.
