Description

The utility model relates to the satisfaction of vital needs, namely, it is intended to automate the process of accepting payments in favor of suppliers of various types of services.

A well-known service system for public catering, containing a server processing orders, automated means of receiving information from waiters. Means of receiving the order is made in the form of a pocket personal computer. (Certificate on PM No. 35019, published on December 20, 2003)

Such a service system does not imply independent customer ordering.

A well-known automated system for searching, selecting and placing orders for the provision of services, containing a terminal connected to the center for processing orders, which includes a system of settlements with visitors. (PM No. 55173, published July 27, 2006, according to class G06K 17/00).

The known system does not allow to accept payments in an automated mode.

The technical tasks aimed at solving the utility model are to reduce the number of errors made with the participation of the cashier, reduce the time the cashier registers payment information, and does not need to store payment receipts for a specified period. The obligation to keep the document of payment acceptance - the cash receipt in this case is transferred to the payer, reducing the consumption of the check tape by the possibility of reusing the check with a bar code.

Technical problems are solved by the fact that in an automatic bar-coding system - in an automated payment acceptance system for the benefit of various types of service providers, consisting of a terminal connected to a processing center, the terminal is a bar-coding terminal, and the processing center is made in the form of series-connected scanners barcodes, converter, payment registration unit.

The bar coding terminal includes a power supply unit, a touch screen, a printer, and a microcontroller located in the case.

Figure 1 presents a block diagram of a system of automatic bar coding - an automated system for receiving payments in favor of suppliers of various types of services.

Automatic bar-coding system An automated system for receiving payments in favor of providers of various types of services consists of a terminal 1 connected to a processing center, terminal 1 is a bar-coding terminal 1, and the processing center is made in the form of bar-code scanner 2 connected in series, converter 3 , payment registration unit 4.

Barcode terminal 1 includes a power supply 5, a touchscreen 6, a printer 7, and a microcontroller 8 located in the housing.

Barcoding terminal - a device that receives payment information from the user (data entry), translates it into a barcode and prints it on the receipt.

Scanner - a device that scans and recognizes a bar code from a receipt.

Payment registration block - any application software that records payments on a server of a processing center, for example. Windows terminal.

The process of accepting a payment in general consists of the following steps: transferring payment information to the cashier by the payer, registering payment information by the cashier, transferring payment information to the processing center, registering payment by fiscal means. The payer enters the payment data into terminal 1, the terminal prints the receipt with a bar code, the payer presents the check printed on the terminal along with the purchases along with the purchases, the cashier uses the barcode scanner 2 to read the payment information from the check, the payment data is converted through converter 3 to the payment registration unit 4.

Barcode terminal 1 must contain the following required components: a power supply unit 5, a touch screen 6, a printer 7, a microcontroller 8 located in the housing.

The touch screen 6 should allow to display both alphanumeric and graphical information.

The printer 7 should provide printing of alphanumeric information, as well as drawing a bar code in a quality that would ensure its reading with a scanner 2.

The microcontroller 8 must ensure the functioning of the touch screen 6 and printer 7, as well as the interaction between them.

For bar-coding of data, a linear bar-code must be used, providing coding of at least 20 characters (2 characters per code + 10 characters per number + 3 characters for a total of + 2 characters for delimiters + 3 spare characters).

When choosing a type of barcode, the following factors must be taken into account: the barcode should be supported by most scanners used by retailers, the barcode should, if possible, present low printing requirements.

The system can be used at trade enterprises that use barcode scanners - supermarkets, large shopping centers, etc.

The proposed utility model allows to reduce the number of errors made with the participation of the cashier, reduces the time for the cashier to register payment information, there is no need to store payment receipts for a specified period. The obligation to keep the document on acceptance of the payment - the cash receipt in this case is transferred to the payer, to reduce the consumption of the receipt tape by the possibility of reusing the receipt with a barcode.
