Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for handling sales transactions for articles from a sales range of a retail store, in particular a cash register terminal, shop scale or self-service scale, with a storage device in which a data record containing data required for the sales process of this article can be stored for each article in the sales range, one Input device for information identifying the particular article to be sold, a visual display device and a processor device coupled to the storage device, the input device and the visual display device, by means of which, in response to the article identification information entered in each case, the relevant data record can be called up in the storage device and dependent on the visual display device certain set of first display data can be displayed from the data record called up.
  • the information identifying the respective article to be sold is first entered with the aid of the input device in order to handle each sales transaction.
  • this can be a barcode on the article to be sold, which is scanned and entered by the input device designed as a barcode reader.
  • the input device is generally designed in the form of a keyboard. The latter can have an alphanumeric key assignment with which an article number identifying the article to be sold is entered.
  • the buttons are often assigned pictograms, which make the individual articles in the sales range obvious and thereby facilitate the entry of the information identifying the articles to be sold in self-service mode.
  • the data records stored in the storage device contain at least price information for each article in the sales range, which enables the calculation of the selling price to be invoiced to the buyer. Depending on the type of article to be sold, this can be unit prices or prices per unit of weight. In the former case, the number of pieces of the article sold during the sales process is additionally entered with the input device, while in the case of scales, a weight representing the weight of the connected load cell
  • the processor device determines the sales price to be invoiced, possibly taking into account additional applicable taxes such as VAT and the like, and forms a set of first display data which are displayed on the display device for inspection by the buyer. This display is maintained for a predetermined period of time and is aborted at any rate when the next sales transaction is initiated.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned as an advertising medium for a variety of visual advertisements.
  • this object is achieved in that the processor device with a data source for sets of second ones which are independent of the sets of first display data Display data is coupled and a programming device is provided, by means of which logical connections between the sets of first and second display data can be set for their common display.
  • the sets of second display data made available by the data source can be text and / or image data representing advertising messages. Due to the optionally adjustable logical connection between each individual set of first display data and each individual set of second display data, the second display data representing the relevant advertising message is displayed in addition to the first display data relating to the sales process, depending on the programming selected in each case.
  • logical connections can be programmed in such a way that the set of second display data advertises a specific article in the sales range, which can be brought into an appealing relationship with the article of the sales transaction currently being carried out. For example, if the item in the current sales transaction is a particular type of cheese, the set of second display data displayed together could indicate a particular type of wine.
  • a PC board with appropriate interface cards for the input device, visual display device and data source and a hard disk connected to a suitable bus system is particularly suitable as the processor device. If the device is designed as a scale, the load cell and the interface card required to connect it to the PC board are added.
  • An expedient embodiment consists in that a time sequence control is provided, from which, in response to the display of a set of first display data, the display of the logically connected set of second display data is initiated for a predetermined period of time.
  • the set of second display data representing the advertising message is visually presented to the buyer for a memorable period of time, for example 10 seconds.
  • the design can be such that the set of second display data is displayed at the start of the display of the set of first display data, so that the display of the two sets takes place simultaneously and therefore the two sets of display data are the total available display area of the display device have to share.
  • the display of the set of second display data can also be initiated immediately after the end of the display of the set of first display data, the full display area then being provided for both sets Is available and because of the close chronological succession the mental connection is not lost.
  • the data source is a server coupled to the processor device via an interface, in the memory of which the sets of second display data are stored.
  • the server can make the sets of second display data available to several devices at the same time. This takes into account in particular the fact that a large number of cash register terminals, store scales and / or self-service scales are installed in larger shops, which are then served by the single server.
  • the server is connected to a remote data transmission network, from whose network subscribers the sets of second display data can be transmitted to the server.
  • the advertisers can freely choose their sets of second display data and import them into the server themselves.
  • Processor device is coupled via an interface Internet access.
  • an internet browser installed in the device can access the advertiser's homepage and take over the information content as a set of second display data.
  • Frequency tracking can include both the number of ads and their duration. At the same time, it can be recorded on which devices, which shops - the advertisement was displayed. This recording makes it possible to automatically carry out accurate bookkeeping of the advertisers and the scope of their advertising and to create an exact invoice for the advertisers.

  • Software is also implemented in the processor device 1, 2, by means of which the frequency of the display of each set of second display data is recorded and stored in an accounting file. In particular, this can be used to record how often and for how long each set of second display data has been displayed on each device. This makes it possible for advertisers to automatically create a precise invoice for the advertising activity carried out.
