RU56689U1 - DEVICE FOR SETTLEMENTS WITH BUYERS "AUTOMATED NODE OF CALCULATION FOR GOODS" - Google Patents

Abstract

A utility model declared for the grant of a patent of the Russian Federation - A device for settlements with customers “Automated settlement center for goods” - is intended for settlements with customers at points of sale of goods (stores) in the absence of an operator, a cashier, consists of four parts connected in series with each other : the node of supply of goods (the conveyor on which the goods are placed by the buyer and which delivers the goods to subsequent nodes), the reading unit of the individual label of the goods, information and settlement node, and packing table, characterized in that it allows you to perform the full amount of work cash settlement node store in an automated mode, that is, without the participation of the cashier-operator.

Description

Field of technology: The device for settlements with customers “Automated payment center for goods” is used in trade, namely, for settlements with customers at points of sale of goods without the participation of a cashier operator.

The prior art (prototypes).

The totality of the features of this technical solution is still unknown from the prior art, since until now the idea of automated payments with customers for goods purchased in ordinary stores has not been applied in the field of trade, and publicly available information indicating the existence of such a solution in the Russian Federation and the rest the world is not available.

Currently, there are several prototypes of individual parts of the described device:

1. Vending machines for selling products (Vending machine), in which sales are made without the participation of the operator. But this prototype (automatic) allows you to sell only a limited number of products pre-loaded into it. In addition, the machine has limited ability to issue change to the buyer. Change is issued only in coins, which greatly limits the possibility of its use.

2. The settlement unit for goods in stores where the receipt of money, the issuance of change and control of purchases is carried out by the cashier operator. The main disadvantage is the presence of a cashier-operator, and, consequently, problems and errors related to the human factor.

The essence of the utility model:

This utility model is aimed at reducing the influence of the human factor on the operation of cash settlement nodes in stores. The signs of this utility model is the presence of the following elements:

- The unit of supply of goods. It is carried out in the form of a conveyor or other transport system. It provides the supply of goods to the reading unit of the individual encoding of the goods and to the packaging table.

- A unit for reading an individual product encoding (for example, a barcode). Provides product recognition and data entry into the information and settlement node.

- Information and settlement node. It provides the buyer with information on the purchased product, based on the information received from the reading unit of the individual encoding and the database of goods, as well as about the procedure for conducting operations in the automated calculation unit. Calculates the cost of a unit of goods and the total value of the goods based on the data received. Carries out the reception and recognition of banknotes and coins, calculates and issues change (both banknotes and coins), and prints a check.

- Packing table. It provides warehousing and accumulation of goods after reading an individual encoding and opens the buyer’s access to the goods after it is paid by the buyer.

The technical result achieved by using this model is to speed up calculations and eliminate problems and errors related to the human factor (the impossibility of a continuous presence at the workplace throughout the working day, the need for breaks for rest, etc.).

A brief description of the drawings. The application materials are accompanied by a utility model diagram consisting of four parts connected in series with each other:

1. Node (conveyor) of the supply of goods.

2. The node read individual encoding of the goods.

3. Settlement and information node.

4. Packing table.

Information confirming the existence of a utility model.

The operating model of the utility model is as follows: the purchased goods are placed in the goods delivery unit (onto the conveyor), which ensures the sequential receipt of goods in the reading unit of the individual label. Information after reading the label goes to the settlement and information node, where the cost and weight of the goods are calculated by name and the total cost and weight of the goods. Data is displayed on the information board of the information node. After the buyer pays for the goods by placing money in a specially designed receiving device, the information-settlement unit calculates the required amount of change, then, according to the algorithm laid down in it, issues the change and prints the check. After the final settlement, the paid product arrives at the packaging table and becomes available to the buyer.
