Description

Store sales system

The invention relates to a store sales system, in particular to a store sales system with identity recognition and positioning functions.

In order to increase the visibility and sales volume of products, large stores actively plan various sales strategies, including the placement of products, the placement of products, and the design of shopping carts.

For example, the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 201220209 "Smart RFID Identification Shopping Cart" mainly consists of an RFID sensor inside the shopping mall shopping cart for reading product information and avoiding the RFID sensor reading external and other. The product, so a Faraday cage label plate that can effectively shield the external electric field from being shielded outside the shopping cart, so that the RFID sensor does not read other products arbitrarily. The product information read by the RFID sensor is transmitted to a data processing display, and the name, quantity, and total amount of the purchased product are known at any time through the data processing display. When the operator passes the checkout, the information in the data processing display is transmitted to the cashier counter through the RFID sensor, and is read by the cashier counter RFID sensor to complete the checkout.

Although the above publication No. 201220209 can facilitate the tracking and identification of commodity control, and does not need to take out the goods from the placement of the goods into the shopping cart to the cashier counter, the shopping and checkout process is more time-saving and labor-saving, but it fails. Tracking the dynamic position of the shopping cart cannot solve the problem that the shopping cart is vulnerable to theft by the consumer to launch the hypermarket. In addition, since the shopping cart is checked out, it still needs to be moved to the cashier counter to receive the RFID sensor to read and pay. Checkout, so consumers still have to spend time waiting in the checkout area.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a store sales system that provides a personal information and consumer information by providing a cargo and capable of dynamically tracking the location and identifying the identity of the consumer.

Therefore, the store sales system of the present invention comprises a plurality of electronic tags, a monitoring terminal servo unit, a plurality of shopping carts for loading and shifting, a plurality of identity recognition units, a plurality of radio frequency identification units, a plurality of checkout units, and a Location tracking unit. The electronic tags are disposed on a plurality of products of a store, and each of the electronic tags is provided with product information and special information corresponding to each of the products. The monitoring server is located in the store and can store most member information through the cloud, and most of the member consumption history information corresponding to the member information. The identity identification units are respectively disposed on the shopping carts. When a member moves one of the shopping carts, the identity recognition unit immediately retrieves the identity information of the member and wirelessly transmits the information to the monitoring terminal servo unit. After receiving and comparing the stored member information, the member information corresponding to the matching and the member consumption history information output corresponding to the member information are respectively set in the radio frequency identification unit. Wait for the shopping cart to read the product information and special information of each electronic label.

The checkout units are respectively disposed on the shopping carts, and each checkout unit includes a display, an operator electrically connecting one of the radio frequency identification unit and the display, and an electrical connection to the operator and a The bank credit card system wirelessly transmits information to provide a card swiping device for swiping the card, and the computing device located on the pushed shopping cart receives the corresponding commodity information read by the radio frequency identification unit, and then performs calculation processing to generate a total The amount of consumption, and the corresponding display can output the member information outputted by the monitoring server unit and the member consumption history information, corresponding to the product information and special information read by the radio frequency identification unit, and Corresponding to the total amount of consumption generated by the operator.

The location tracking unit includes a plurality of positioning transmitters disposed in the store and capable of transmitting wireless signals, and a plurality of positioning receivers disposed on the shopping cart, the positioning receivers for receiving the positioning transmitters The transmitted wireless signal is transmitted to the monitoring terminal servo unit, and the monitoring terminal servo unit performs arithmetic processing and obtains dynamic coordinates of the shopping carts.

The utility model has the advantages that the shopping carts can dynamically track the positions of the shopping carts in addition to the articles that can be loaded, and prevent the shopping carts from being launched by consumers. Theft from the hypermarket. In addition, through the setting of the identity recognition units and the radio frequency identification units, the identity information of each member of each shopping cart can be retrieved, and the member's consumption information can be further collected through the identity identification technology to enable the industry to analyze and understand the members. The shopping habits are conducive to the formulation of the follow-up sales plan of the store, which can effectively increase the sales rate. In addition, because the shopping cart provides a mechanism for paying by card, so that consumers do not have to wait in front of the checkout area, but also save the store checkout manpower.
