Description

The utility model relates to devices used in retail trade, in particular in cash registers of self-service stores, which are equipped with goods movement control systems and cash terminal operation control systems.

A device containing scales, a cash box, in which a barcode scanner and a cash register with a display are installed and connected to the processor, is known [US 2003/0078849, NKI 705/23, 2003].

The disadvantage of this device is the relatively narrow functionality.

It is also known a device comprising a cash box, in which a first antenna, a barcode scanner and a cash register with a display are connected to the processor, a self-service corridor of the cash box with a first electromagnetic field source [US 6169483, NKI 340 / 572.3, 2001].

The disadvantage of this device is also the relatively narrow functionality.

Another known device includes a scanner for scanning items selected by the buyer, a video monitoring device for displaying the cost of items scanned by the specified buyer, a packing area for placing items scanned by the specified buyer in the container, and also a dispenser for dispensing the receipt for the purchased product, while the specified video monitoring device displays the cost of the product distributed using the specified distribution device [RU 2003124961/09, G06F 17/60, 05.27.2005].

This device also has relatively narrow functionality.

The closest in technical essence to the proposed one is a terminal containing connected to a central control unit, made in the form of a computer with the ability to place content in it, a product selection panel with a keyboard, an information display device connected to its output with a computer, a paper money receiving mechanism, Moreover, the terminal is equipped with communication devices made in the form of wireless transceiver devices connected to a computer, and the customer’s digital mobile device is gives the function of establishing a connection through a transceiver device with a computer for receiving content from it after paying for the sale operation, and external monitoring ports, as well as a reader / writer on a digital storage medium, a remote access unit to digital networks, a payment card reader connected to with a computer, a coin mechanism with the possibility of issuing change and connected to a computer, a barcode scanner connected to a computer and a video and photo information recording device made in the form of a web or a camera connected to a computer [RU 71180, U1, G07F 11/00, 02.27.2008].

The drawback of the closest technical solution is the relatively narrow functionality, since even when using a barcode scanner with a blanking function, this blanking is not possible only after confirming payment for the purchased goods (in cash with control of funds used or control of the status of the account on the payment card), which is an essential condition for creating fully automated stores.

The required technical result is to expand the functionality.

The required technical result is achieved by the fact that, in a device containing a cash box with a product placement area and a video camera installed in a cash box, a bank card reader, a bill acceptor, change delivery means, a barcode scanner and a cash register with a display, a processor designed for calculating the balance of funds, generating a confirmation signal for payment of the goods to clear the barcode on the product and commands for returning a bank card, issuing change and issuing a check, moreover, a barcode scanner, cash register with ispleem, bank card reader, bill acceptor, a video camera and means of giving change is connected to the processor.

The drawing shows a payment trading and settlement terminal.

The payment trading and settlement terminal comprises a cashbox 1 with a product placement zone 2 and installed in a cashbox 1 and connected to a processor (not shown) a barcode scanner 3 and a cash register with a display 4 and a check issuing means 5.

In addition, the payment trading and settlement terminal contains connected to a processor designed to generate signals to complete the transaction, a video camera 6 installed in cash box 1, a bank card reader 7, a bill acceptor 8, and change delivery means 9.

The payment trading and settlement terminal operates as follows.

Goods in the store (retail store) are marked with bar codes, in the form of RFID tags. At the same time, each unit of goods is assigned a unique identification code. The buyer selects the goods and enters the service area equipped with cash registers 1.

The buyer either inserts a bank card into the slot of the reader 7 bank cards, or inserts banknotes into the slot of the bill acceptor 8. The bank card reader activates the cards and determines the available amount of funds on the card, and the bill acceptor determines the amount of funds that the buyer allocated to pay for the goods. These amounts are recorded in the processor memory and, if necessary, are displayed on the display.

The buyer sequentially puts the goods in the zone -2 of the goods, in which the scanner 3 barcode, which continuously scans this zone. At the signal of the scanner 3, the value of the goods is displayed on the display of the cash goods 4 and the corresponding funds are debited from the bank card or cash. The processor calculates the balance and funds and, if necessary, displays this amount on the display. On a paid product, the barcode is automatically redeemed using the signal of the scanner 3 when a signal arrives at it from the processor, confirming that the goods have been paid.

After the end of the calculation of the goods, the buyer puts a finger on the display in the “end of purchase” touch zone, as a result of which the processor issues commands to return the bank card, issue the change and issue the check.

The process of selling goods is recorded by a video camera 5 connected to a recording device or to a monitor of a store employee performing control.

Thus, due to the improvement of the known device, the functionality of the proposed terminal is significantly expanded, since the barcode on the product is extinguished only after confirmation of payment for the purchased goods (in cash with control of the funds used or control of the status of the account on the payment card), which is an essential condition for creating a completely automated stores.
