Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for determining the selling price of goods, in particular goods offered in self-service sales outlets, which has the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the known devices of this type have readers for indicating the price on the map for such goods, the packaging of which is provided with a map on which the price is given, for example in a bar code.
  • Such maps have the disadvantage that they usually have to be applied by the seller because of the prices to be set by the seller and if a price change it is necessary to overlap with a new map.
  • these known devices For goods that have to be weighed for price determination, these known devices have scales with a keypad, the keys of which are each assigned to a commodity, this assignment for the user by means of a suitable identification, for example a number, a letter or a combination of letters, in many cases also indicated by an illustration of the goods. The user must Select and press the corresponding key for the goods placed on the load plate from the keypad.
  • the electronics are supplied with the identification signal.
  • the electronics determine the sales price, which is printed out on an adhesive label or the like.
  • a disadvantage of these scales is not only that the labeling of the keys is subject to wear and tear, and therefore the identification of the labeling can be difficult with frequent actuation, provided the keys are not formed by fields on a screen. In the latter case, if an image of the assigned goods is displayed in the fields, an image memory can be provided from which the required images can be called up. However, this has the disadvantage that the correct image may first have to be sought, which leads to annoying waiting times.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for determining the sales price of goods, which neither requires a map containing the price on the packaging or goods required nor a selection of buttons or fields to be made by the customer to identify the goods. This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.
  • identification of each product is carried out by an automatic comparison of the product image generated by the video camera with the product images of the identifiable goods contained in the image memory, the customer's activity is limited to placing the product on the presentation surface, to which the video camera is aimed. If the goods are not suitable for delivering the identification picture, you can add an identification sign or point it at the video camera so that it can recognize it.
  • identification signs include, for example, stickers for the goods or their packaging or also signs which are placed on the presentation area in addition to the goods. These identification signs can For example, be contained in a storage container, which is located in the associated goods. Even if such identification signs are required in exceptional cases, the time during which the presentation area is occupied is minimal.
  • the presentation area is advantageously formed by the load plate of a scale with a weight sensor, the output signals of which indicate the weight of the goods. The goods can then be identified during the weighing process.
  • an output device preferably in the form of a display device, is assigned to at least each presentation area that receives the goods for a first identification, which announces the identified goods visually and / or in writing and / or acoustically. The customer can then check whether the goods in question have been correctly identified.
  • each of these output devices preferably has an input device, for example in the form of a key or voice input, which the customer actuates or addresses if the goods identification was correct. If the identification is incorrect, the customer can be asked via the output device to move the goods to a different position.
  • an automatic change of position and / or the use of at least two video cameras capturing the image of the goods from different directions can also be used to improve the possibility of identification.
  • the output device means for announcing the sales price of the goods and / or the sales price per unit of weight.
  • the output device therefore preferably has a screen on which the information to be disclosed to the customer appears.
  • audio output means can be provided, which deliver the information in acoustic form.
  • the information could also be output only acoustically. A printout of the information is also possible.
  • a reader and writer is therefore advantageously assigned to each presentation area for the transfer of at least the sales price to the customer identity card.
  • customer identity cards By means of such customer identity cards, the recording of the goods and the determination of the total sales price at the checkout can be considerably accelerated, even if the data stored on the customer identity card is not used to determine the total price, but only for comparison with the other data recorded at the cash register can be used.
  • This data acquisition at the cash register is preferably also carried out with the aid of a video camera, an image memory, a comparator and, if appropriate, a weight sensor.
  • reading and writing devices assigned to the individual presentation areas for the customer identity cards are connected to a central computer, all of this data can be temporarily stored there, so that they then only have to be called up from the central computer when the customer is at Cashier is coming. Furthermore, reading devices can be provided with an output device, which enable the customer to query information of interest to him at any time, in particular the total price of the goods selected so far.
  • an internally or externally arranged reading device is preferably provided, by means of which the images from data carriers on which the digitized identification images of all different goods are stored can be read into the memory.
  • the memory can then be loaded and updated in a particularly simple manner and above all without specialist knowledge.
  • the data carriers can, for example, be conventional disks with magnetic or optical storage of the digital signals.
  • An external arrangement of the reading device has the advantage over an internal arrangement that it can be used for several goods identification devices.
  • an operator can also have the identification images created by means of the video camera.
  • buttons for main goods groups, e.g. B. provide fruits, drinks, canned goods, vegetables, non-food.
  • the customer can then select the main product group to which the product to be identified belongs. It can be provided here that the identification only begins after the key or the like assigned to the main product group has been actuated by the customer.
  • the device shown in FIG. 1 for determining the sales price of goods offered in a self-service point of sale has any number of self-service scales 1, which are expediently set up wherever weight-dependent goods are offered.
  • One of these self-service scales 1 is also set up at each cash register 2. Since only one goods identification is required for weight-independent goods, detection devices 3 are set up wherever such goods are offered. Since the identification of goods independent of weight can also be carried out on the load plate of a self-service scale, there is usually no need to set up a recording device 3 at each checkout 2.
  • the use of a scale at the checkout to identify goods that are independent of weight even has the advantage that the weight is available as an additional feature for identification, for example for goods with a very similar appearance but different weights, which facilitates clear identification.
  • the device also includes any number of output devices 4 for customer identity cards 5 and read / write devices 6 for these customer identity cards 5.
  • the output of a customer identification card 5 can be made dependent on this that the customer has an authorization card, for example a check card 9, which he must first enter into the output device 4.
  • One of these read / write devices 6 is assigned to each self-service scale 1 and each registration device 3 in order to be able to write the data determined there into the customer identity card 5.
  • a reader 7 for reading the data stored on the customer identity cards 5 is provided at each cash register. In the exemplary embodiment, further reading devices 7 are installed in the sales room.
  • Each output device 4 and the reading devices 7 are also preferably connected to this master computer 8 via the data bus 10.
  • Each of the electronic self-service scales 1 has a load plate 11 on which the goods 12, which are, for example, a banana, are placed by the customer for the weighing process.
  • the weight is determined in a known manner by means of weighing electronics 13 contained in a weighing cell.
  • a video camera 14 which, as shown in FIG. 2, is rigidly connected to the scale housing 16 via a tripod 15 , of course, but could also be connected to the supporting surface 17 supporting the scales.
  • the video camera 14 can capture the entire goods support surface of the load plate 11.
  • the video camera 14 is followed by an amplifier-digitizer 18, which can also be built into the video camera 14 and digitize the image taken by the goods 12.
  • the electronics of the video camera 14 can, as shown in FIG. 4, be equipped with a pre-comparator 34 in order to carry out a pre-sorting of the identification images that are possible for the identification.
  • the final goods identification is essential accelerated.
  • an identification sign for example a sticker which is to be attached to the banana or which already exists and which bears an image or sign which unmistakably identifies the goods, could be used for the goods identification.
  • the digital image signals are fed to a comparator 19 used for image identification.
  • This is also connected to a memory 20, in which all recognizable identification images, ie the images of all recognizable goods or their identification symbols, are contained in digitized form.
  • the comparator 19 transmits the identification signal belonging to this product to the scale electronics 13.
  • This signal contains the information or is supplemented with the information about the price per unit weight of the recognized goods, which is generated in the known self-service scales by pressing the key of the scale keyboard assigned to the goods.
  • the price that can be calculated by the scale electronics 13 and paid for the goods 12 lying on the load plate 11 can be printed out on a data carrier, preferably in the form of an adhesive label, by means of a printer 21.
  • This data carrier which can also bear the name of the goods, their weight and the price per unit of weight, is then output, as is customary in the known self-service scales. If this data is written into the customer identity card 5, as is the case in the exemplary embodiment, the output of the data carriers could also be omitted.
  • the scale electronics 13 give the name of the goods 12, the price per unit of weight, their weight and the amount to be paid in the form of digital signals to a control electronics 22, which is connected downstream of the comparator 19 and controls a display device 23.
  • This display device 23 has a monitor on which the image of the goods 12 stored in the memory 20, for example as a color image, is reproduced for control purposes.
  • the information supplied by the scale electronics 13, ie the name of the goods, the price per unit of weight, the weight and the amount to be paid appear on the monitor.
  • the monitor of the display device 23 is held by a stand 23 'provided next to the load plate 11, approximately at the customer's eye level, so that the screen is in the customer's field of vision.
  • the display device 23 contains a loudspeaker 24 instead of or in addition to the monitor, which is preferably arranged inside the scale housing 16, then the name of the goods 12, their price per unit weight and / or their weight and / or the amount to be paid can be acoustically displayed be, either once or several times with an adjustable volume and repetition rate.
  • each display device 23 is assigned an input device, for example in the form of a pushbutton or keyboard 30, so that the customer can confirm to the electronics that the goods identification and the data transaction carried out are correct. The confirmation could also be done acoustically. Speech recognition electronics are then required. If the goods identification and / or the data transaction is not correct, then the goods 12 must be moved to a different position in order to repeat the identification.
  • an input device for example in the form of a pushbutton or keyboard 30, so that the customer can confirm to the electronics that the goods identification and the data transaction carried out are correct. The confirmation could also be done acoustically. Speech recognition electronics are then required. If the goods identification and / or the data transaction is not correct, then the goods 12 must be moved to a different position in order to repeat the identification.
  • the detection devices 3 have a presentation area 25 on which the weight-independent goods 26 to be identified, for example a bottle, are placed for the purpose of identification.
  • a video camera is directed onto the presentation surface 25, which is designed like the video cameras 14 and is therefore provided with the same reference number.
  • at least two video cameras 14 can also be arranged spatially offset, in order to obtain a product image that can be identified better and thus more quickly.
  • the signals from the video cameras 14 are expediently supplied to electronics common to all video cameras 14.
  • a tripod, not shown, of the detection device 3 holds each existing video camera 14 in a position in which it does not hinder the placing of the goods 26 on the presentation surface 25.
  • the presentation surface 25 is designed so that the goods 26 cannot fall out and their correct positioning is facilitated.
  • 6 shows the shape of a trough as an example.
  • the presentation surface 25 can, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, have a conveyor belt 40, which can form a support surface in the form of a trough. Furthermore, a handling device or robot 41 is considered for this, which brings the goods 26 into the correct position on the presentation surface 25 (cf. FIG. 8).
  • the presentation area 25 can be provided with aids that facilitate quick and reliable goods recognition.
  • This can be a holding device 42 act (see FIG. 9), which holds a carrier bag open so that the video camera 14 can capture the goods contained in the carrier bag.
  • the lighting of the load plate 11 and the presentation surface 25 is expediently generated with at least one lamp 31 directed towards the goods 12 or 26.
  • this lamp 31 or lamps can be provided with color filters.
  • the goods can then be pre-sorted by color. Color filtering can of course also be carried out electronically.
  • the use of the video camera 14 ′ shown in FIG. 4 with detection electronics is particularly advantageous.
  • a pre-comparator 34 compares the digitized image with the main comparison features of the goods, for example the shape (square, round, elongated, amorphous) and the color, stored in a memory 44.
  • the comparator 34 is followed by detection electronics 35 for the main features and an assembly 36 which generates the detection signals for the main features and which forwards these signals to an interface 37.
  • the interface 37 transmits the pre-digitized signals of the overall image and the recognition signals for the main features to an input / output interface 38, to which an interface 39 for receiving the control signals for the electronics of the video camera 14 'is also connected.
  • the data line for connecting the video camera 14 'to the associated detection electronics and control electronics is designated by 43 in FIG.
  • each detection device 3 is followed by a digitizer 18, the output of which is connected to a first input of a comparator 19, to the second input of which an image memory 20 is connected (see FIG. 3).
  • the comparator 19 is followed by a control electronics 22 which controls the display device 23 which, like the self-service scales 1, has a monitor which is held in the customer's field of vision by a tripod.
  • the image of the goods 26, their designation, their price and, if appropriate, further information are reproduced on the monitor.
  • the display devices 23 of the recording devices 3 are likewise assigned an input device, for example in the form of a key (not shown), which the customer presses when the goods identification and data transaction carried out is correct. This key can be omitted if there is speech recognition electronics that recognize the words "yes" and "no", for example.
