Next, the user authentication server 106 determines whether or not the user information received through the wireless communication unit 104 is valid, through a predetermined authentication procedure, and transmits a message stating whether or not authentication is successful to the wireless communication unit 104, in operation 230.
Then, according to the message stating whether or not authentication is successful, received through the wireless communication unit 104, the user authentication control unit 103 determines whether to release the cart connection link in the event of successful authentication or to generate an error message in the event of authentication failure. That is, if an authentication success message is received, the user authentication control unit 103 releases the cart connection link to enable use of the cart in operation 250, and if an authentication failure message is received, the user authentication control unit 103 transfers an error message to the display unit 107 or the voice reproduction unit 108 in operation 240.
In another embodiment, if authentication fails, the user authentication control unit 103 sends a control signal to a wheel control means of the shopping cart to disable operation of the wheels to prevent theft. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of control operations performed when a shopping cart is returned in a shopping cart user authentication system according to the present invention.
First, if the user decides to stop using the cart and connects the cart connection link to that of another shopping cart in operation 310, the user authentication control unit 103 detects the state of the connection link by using, for example, a well-known sensor or the like.
Here, the use authentication control unit 103 accesses the user authentication server 106 through the wireless communication unit 104 and transmits a user authentication release request in operation 320. If the user authentication card can be used to pay bills and the user wants to pay for goods loaded in the cart, the user may make a request to the user authentication server 106 to make payment before requesting authentication release. Here, since the user authentication server 106 is connected to an external network, it can transfer the response to the user's payment request to the user authentication apparatus 101. If a user authentication release notice from the user authentication server 106 is received through the wireless communication unit 104 in operation 330, the user authentication control unit 103 indicates that user authentication release is completed on the display unit 107 or via the voice reproduction unit 108, and checks whether or not the user authentication card is inserted in the cart, in operation 340. At this time, if the user authentication card is inserted in the cart, the user authentication control unit 103 returns the user authentication card in operation 350.
If the user doesn't follow the user authentication release procedure, there is a possibility that the shopping cart is being stolen, so the user authentication control unit 103 transmits to the mobile phone of the user a predetermined alarm message that is generated when the user does not follow the user authentication release procedure. While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims. For example, one possible addition to the above disclosure within the scope of the claimed invention is that when a shopping cart is lost, the user authentication apparatus may add predetermined charges to the user's mobile phone bill or credit card bill. The present invention can also be embodied as computer code recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.
