The ultrasonic waves reflected by the pre-purchased items of the basket 228 are further analyzed to obtain the product quantity information PM.

The change of the signal of the quantity sensing device 222 and the pre-purchase item in a specific area of the shopping cart F will be described in detail below. Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 2 simultaneously, when a user does not put any pre-ordered goods in the shopping cart F, the ultrasonic intensity receiving and analyzing sensor 2222 analyzes that the intensity of the ultrasonic signal is stably maintained at a first signal strength. Level I0.

When the user reads the first product identification code A1 of the first pre-ordered product A by using the identification code reader 221 at time T1 to obtain the first pre-purchased item information A4, and placing the first pre-purchased item A into the shopping cart F In the specific area, since the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic transmitter 2221 is affected by the first pre-purchased item A in the specific area, the intensity of the ultrasonic wave reflected back to the ultrasonic intensity receiving and analyzing sensor 2222 is increased. Up to a second signal intensity level IA, at this time, the ultrasonic intensity receiving and analyzing sensor 2222 determines that an item is added to the shopping cart F, and obtains the item quantity information PM (the number of items is 1). The item quantity information PM is immediately transmitted to the item information processing means 2241 for comparison with the pre-purchased item information.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 simultaneously, step 203: comparing, by using the product information processing device 2241, the pre-purchased product information separately recorded by the product quantity information PM and the memory device 2242, that is, comparing the pre-purchased product information. Whether the number of the same number is the same as the number of the pre-purchased items in the shopping cart F, to confirm that the user has not mistakenly placed the unpurchased item into the shopping cart F, or forgot to put the pre-purchased item into the shopping cart F. When the user successfully reads the first pre-ordered item A by using the identifier reader 221 and obtains the first pre-purchased item information A4 and the item quantity information PM also changes, the first pre-purchased item information A4 passes through the wireless transmission device 223. Transmitted to the store server platform 21, the store server platform 21 will transmit the first pre-purchased merchandise information A4 to the checkout cashier platform 23 for the checkout cashier platform 23 to load the first pre-purchased merchandise information A4 into one of the pre-orders of the store. In the product list 231, at this time, the user can smoothly perform subsequent purchases. .

However, if the user successfully uses the identifier reader 221 to read the first pre-ordered item A and obtain the first pre-purchased item information A4, but the item quantity information PM does not change, that is, the item quantity information PM and If the number of pre-ordered product information does not match, step 205 is performed: the product information processing device 2241 sends a driving signal to cause the audible alarm 225 to sound a warning sound to prompt the user to forget to put the first pre-ordered item A into the shopping cart F. . In another case, when the user does not successfully use the identifier reader 221 to read the first pre-ordered item A, and the item quantity information PM changes at this time, the item information processing device 2241 also issues a driving signal to make the sound alarm. The 225 sounds to prompt the user that the first pre-ordered item A that is not to be purchased may be mistakenly placed in the shopping cart F.

Of course, as time progresses, the user reads the second pre-ordered item B by the identification code reader 221 to obtain the second pre-purchased item information B4 at the time point T2, and places the second pre-purchased item B into the shopping cart F. In the specific area, at this time, since the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic transmitter 2221 is affected by the first pre-purchased item A and the second pre-purchased item B, the ultrasonic wave reflected back to the ultrasonic intensity receiving and analyzing sensor 2222 is reflected. The intensity is increased to a third signal intensity level IB. At this time, the ultrasonic intensity receiving and analyzing sensor 2222 determines that another item is added to the shopping cart F, and obtains the quantity information PM (the number of products is 2) The product quantity information PM is immediately transmitted to the product information processing device 2241 to be compared with the pre-purchased product information separately recorded by the memory device 2242. If the comparison result is correct, the second pre-purchased product information B4 is transmitted through the wireless transmission device 223. Being transmitted to the store server platform 21, the store server platform 21 will transmit the second pre-purchased commodity information B4 to the checkout cashier platform 23 for the checkout cashier platform 23 to use the second pre-purchased commodity information B. 4 Load the stored pre-purchased item list 231.

Next, at time T3, the user reads the third pre-ordered item C by the identification code reader 221 to obtain the third pre-purchased item information C4, and places the third pre-purchased item C into a specific area of the shopping cart F. At the time, since the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic transmitter 2221 is affected by the first pre-purchased item A, the second pre-purchased item B and the third pre-purchased item C placed in the shopping cart F, the reflection back ultrasonic intensity reception and analysis The intensity of the ultrasonic wave of the sensor 2222 is increased to a fourth signal intensity level IC. At this time, the quantity sensing device 222 can determine that another item is added to the shopping cart F, and obtain the quantity information PM (product) The quantity is 3), and the item quantity information PM is also immediately transmitted to the item information processing apparatus 2241 to be compared with the pre-purchased item information. If the user normally uses the identifier reader 221 and puts the pre-sales into the shopping cart F, the product information processing device 2241 determines that the number of the pre-purchased merchandise information separately recorded by the memory device 2242 should be three, and In accordance with the product quantity information PM, at this time, the third pre-purchased product information C4 is transmitted to the store server platform 21 through the wireless transmission device 223, and the store server platform 21 transmits the third pre-purchased product information C4 to the checkout and cash register platform 23, The third pre-purchased merchandise information C4 is loaded into the stored pre-purchased merchandise list 231 for the checkout cashier platform 23.

FIG. 10C shows that the user takes a third pre-ordered product, and after the imaging module re-photographs, the third pre-purchased product is made into a third product outline frame C5, and the previously recorded dark spot CP is compared; Since the third pre-ordered product is placed behind the first pre-purchased item, the placement position between the items has a certain overlap, so that the original first product outline frame A5 is partially extended by the outline of the third pre-purchased item. The extended endpoint is recorded as an Extension Point (EP) to clearly record the location of the relationship between the two items.

Finally, in FIG. 10D, the user takes a fourth pre-ordered product, but takes out the third pre-purchased product. After the imaging module is again imaged, the fourth pre-purchased product is made into a fourth product outline frame D5, and For the previously recorded shadow point CP; but since the fourth pre-ordered product is placed in front of the first pre-ordered item, the shadow point CP of the first pre-purchased item is completely obscured, so the shadow point CP of the original first pre-purchased item at this time will It is recorded as a Change Contrast Point (CC), and the shadow point CP of the fourth pre-purchased item is found to be recorded for subsequent comparison and clearly records the relationship position of each item.

Next, in the manner in which the pre-purchasing machine pre-purchases the pre-purchased goods, a series of processes are described. Referring to FIG. 11 to FIG. 14 , the pre-purchased product interpretation management method of the pre-purchasing machine of the present application is used in a preferred embodiment. flow chart.

First, the commodity pre-purchasing machine is initialized (step 300). After the initialization, the commodity pre-purchasing machine enters a normal monitoring mechanism, and the monitoring mechanism periodically starts a shooting mechanism to capture at least one pre-purchased product, and the frame data is generated by the liquid crystal array. (Step 330); In addition to the normal timing shooting, when the user takes the pre-ordered item, the product pre-purchase opportunity recognizes whether to read the product barcode (step 310), and adds the item count to 1 after reading the product barcode (step 320). Then, proceed to step 330, after the frame data is generated, will the data array match the frame data? (Step 340), each pre-ordered product has a dedicated frame drawing data and data array. If the frame drawing data does not match the data array, it indicates that the pre-ordered product position has a movement, and if the frame drawing data matches the data array, the comparison is performed. Does the data array match the number of items? (Step 350) If the data array does not match the number of products, it indicates that the number of products is incorrect, and must jump back to step 320 to re-execute.

Next, please continue to refer to FIG. 12. When the data array matches the number of products, it is determined whether the node data is changed (step 360), and the node data may include related information such as the contraction node RP and the extended node EP, if the node data If there is a change, the node data is re-annotated (step 361), and it is recognized whether the shadow point is obscured (step 370). If the shadow point is obscured, the shadow point data is re-marked (step 371), and the total frame data is synthesized after completion (step 371). Step 380), and the total frame data is recorded (step 390).

Next, please continue to refer to FIG. 13 , the total frame drawing data is the assembly of all the pre-purchased products, and is also the basis of the monitoring comparison. When the data is recorded and recorded in step 390, the real-time monitoring is started. The mechanism first initializes the monitoring mechanism (step 400), and then identifies whether the total framed data variation ratio exceeds the first set value (step 410), assuming that the first preset value is set to 20%, and if the total framed data changes by more than 20 %, it is considered that there is a displacement of the pre-ordered product. If the ratio of the total frame drawing data does not exceed the first set value (20%), it is determined whether the data array variation ratio exceeds the base value (step 430), and the basic value is assumed to be 80%, if the data array changes beyond 80%, it is deemed that the pre-ordered products are changed or replaced. If the data array change ratio does not exceed the basic value (80%), then the total framed data change ratio is determined to exceed the second setting. The value (step 440) assumes that the second preset value is set to 35%. If the total frame data changes by more than 35%, it is considered that there is an error in the pre-ordered product.

Next, referring to FIG. 14, if the total frame drawing data change ratio exceeds the second set value (35%), the prompt mode is entered (step 450), and the sound alerter of the product pre-purchase machine is activated to issue the first warning sound. Prompting the user and asking the user to clear the prompt and requesting the repair (step 460). When the user clears the warning tone, the product pre-purchasing machine will re-scan and confirm the product count and prompt (step 470), and then repair the data array to one. The preset value (step 480), assuming that the preset value is set to 95%, the data array is compensated to 95%, and the total frame data is reset to the preset value (step 490); When the commodity pre-purchasing machine is close to the store checkout cashier platform, the commodity pre-purchase opportunity freezes the total framed data and transmits the pre-purchased merchandise information from the pre-purchasing machine to the checkout cashier platform, and allows the checkout cashier platform to calculate the total price of the pre-purchased merchandise information, For users to checkout.

In step 410 of FIG. 13, when the total frame data changes by more than 20%, will the advanced inspection prompt mode be reset? (Step 420), if the user resets the prompt mode, then skip to step 330 to continue. If the user does not reset the prompt mode, the prompt mode is entered (step 450) to continue; and in step 430, if the data array changes beyond 80. %, then skip to step 380 to continue execution; if the total framed data change ratio does not exceed 35% in step 440, it is deemed that the pre-purchased item information is correct, and the process directly jumps to step 480 to execute.

In the pre-purchased product interpretation management method of the pre-purchasing machine of the present application, the pre-purchasing machine can start the photographing mechanism to take at least one pre-purchased item, and generate frame drawing data by the liquid crystal array (step 330), which can be referred to FIG. 15 In this case, the pre-purchase product interpretation process steps of the pre-purchase product are shown in the figure (1); it can be seen from the figure that the liquid crystal array (LCD Array) will form a frame of the most suitable size square frame after the image is taken. The data LA, and each pre-sale item has its own frame data LA.

The information of each point on the frame drawing data LA is sequentially written into the data array TA (Tablet Array), please refer to FIG. 16 , which is a schematic diagram of the pre-purchased product interpretation process step (2) in this case. The sorting from 1 to 29 is to indicate the information of each pre-purchased item on each point of the framed data LA; the bottom box shows the shadow data CA, which is the correlation of the shadow points taken out in each pre-purchased item. data.

FIG. 12 is: when the data array matches the number of products, whether to identify whether the node data is changed (step 360), and the node data may include related information such as the contraction node RP and the extended node EP, and if the node data is changed, Then, the node data is re-annotated (step 361), and it is recognized whether the shadow point is obscured (step 370), and if the shadow point is obscured, the shadow point data is re-marked (step 371). This step can refer to FIG. 17A-B. The procedure of the pre-purchased commodity interpretation process of the commodity pre-purchase machine is shown in (3). In FIG. 17A, when the node data is changed, it can be seen that the original data array TA has the indication of the contraction node RP and the extension node EP, thus indicating that There are other pre-ordered items placed in the vicinity of a pre-purchased item; and in the center of the shadow data CA in Fig. 17B, there is a shadow change data CC, which indicates that the shadow point of the pre-purchased item is obscured by other pre-purchased items.

Next, please continue to refer to FIG. 18, which is a schematic diagram of the pre-purchased product interpretation process step (4) in the present application. According to step 410 shown in FIG. 13, is the ratio of the total framed data change exceeds 20%? As can be seen from Figure 18, the overall profile TC formed by all pre-ordered items, when the overall profile TC makes a slight displacement (not exceeding 20%), step 490 will modify the overall profile TC from the original position to the repairable profile RC. And correcting the error contour EC before the displacement for the accuracy of the monitoring; but if the user replaces or removes the pre-ordered product change, it will be monitored at steps 430, 440, and the contour of the object will be removed. The RI is modified and deleted to obtain the correct total framed data.

In addition to the aforementioned functions, the pre-purchasing machine of the present invention can receive wirelessly transmitted advertising information through the store server platform. Please refer to FIG. 19 as an advertising system architecture diagram of the store merchandise management system.
