TWI262299B - Electronic scale with automatically reading price information and its application method - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention relates to an electronic scale with automatically price information reader, and its application method. It mainly utilizes an information reader that is built-in or attached to an electronic scale. At the time of weighing and pricing the object of transaction, the reader quickly reads the product transaction information marked on the tag of the object of transaction and transmits the information to the electronic scale to accord with the weighing operation. The reader also reads the unit price indicated in the transaction information, or the user may key-in the unit price of the object of transaction pre-stored in the electronic scale, so as to calculate and display the price result. Further, it outputs a pricing tag label containing the price result information to be applied to the object of transaction. Moreover, the electronic scale connects with an external module via an update connection unit, so as to update the software system and information relating to unit prices and bargain prices.

Description

1262299 Case No. 93129785 Rev. 5, Invention Description (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic reading software for electronic data reading and its application method, and particularly to a retail and retail market. The use of the data reader can quickly read the product transaction data of the tag on the transaction object, match the weight scale of the electronic scale, and the unit base price contained in the transaction data of the aforementioned product, or obtain the memory unit. Unit weight base price, an electronic scale that can be calculated to display or output a valuation result and its application method. [Prior Art]

The electronic scale of the conventional use mainly comprises a scale structure and a pricing structure. The scale structure comprises a casing and a weighing pan located above the casing, and the inner side of the casing is matched with the bracket component. The metering structure consists of a computing unit, a memory unit, and a plurality of function keys, a memory key module, and an input key module disposed on the panel of the housing, for inputting the base price numbers and charging for each memory key. The denomination of the banknote paid by the buyer is calculated under the operation of the function keys and is composed of the display of the display.

The weighing scale and pricing transaction method provided by the conventional electronic scale is that a plurality of memory keys cooperate with the memory unit to provide a memory of the base price of some articles, and the price is placed by the price in the scale. In addition to the weight scale of the weighing pan, it is necessary to manually operate the memory key or the input key one by one, input the pricing data of the type of the transaction object, the base price per unit weight, etc., and display the pricing result by the display by the calculation of the electronic scale; It is not only easy to cause the wrong input of the input by the manual input method, but also the operation time-consuming, the pricing operator must remember or mark the applicable transaction on the input key, which is inconvenient to use; Data update

1262299 Case No. 93129785 Revision No. 5, Invention Description [2] It is also necessary to update one by one through multiple keying operations, which is quite time consuming and inconvenient; as for the control software such as calculation and operation of the electronic scale, it cannot be performed. Update. [Summary of the Invention]

The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned defects and avoid the existence of the missing. The invention combines the electronic scale and the data reading device, and can be applied to retail and store use, so that the price meter can use the data reading device to quickly read the transaction. The product transaction data of the tag on the object, the weight scale of the electronic pound scale, and the unit base price included in the transaction data of the aforementioned product, or the unit weight base price stored by the electronic scale, can display or output the electronic scale of the valuation result. And its application method.

For the above purposes, the data reading device built in or externally attached to the electronic scale is used to quickly read the label containing the product transaction data on the transaction object and transmit it to the electronic pound while performing the weighing and pricing transaction. With the weight scale, the unit can be selected based on the unit base price contained in the transaction data of the above products or the unit weight base price recorded by the product, and the valuation result can be calculated and displayed immediately, and the data of the valuation result can be further output. The account label is marked on the transaction for checkout. The electronic chip scale can also be used to link the external unit to an external unit for updating the base price or special price of the software system and each product or product. [Embodiment] Please refer to the external architecture diagram of the self-reading electronic scale of the pricing data according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The electronic scale external architecture includes an electronic scale 1; a data reading device 2 mounted on the aforementioned electronic scale 1; and a surface marked on the surface of the transaction 5 or its packaging and containing product information.
