Definitions

the invention relates to a method and a device to detect and deactivate a deactivable Securing element for electronic article surveillance, that is attached to or on an article.
the invention has for its object a method and propose a device that the deactivation rate increase significantly.
the object is achieved by that a code is assigned to each article, that the code indicates an input device is read / input that article information is assigned to the code, where this article information contains an indication of whether the article with an electronic security element is secured against theft, and that a Deactivation unit is switched on when a corresponding information is available.
each article is assigned a code
a Input device is provided on which the code is entered / read in that a processor is provided is one of the code in a storage unit assigns stored article information and based on the Information recognizes whether the item is electronic detectable fuse element is equipped, and that a deactivation unit is provided which is switched on when the processor detects that the item contains an electronically detectable security element is provided.
the invention Securing element around an electromagnetic strip securing element, a Barkhausen securing element, a Thin film fuse element, a resonance frequency fuse element or an acousto-magnetic Fuse element acts.
the device according to the invention is therefore capable of all Recognize known types of security elements and to deactivate.
the item information associated with the code is an indication about what type of fuse element the corresponding article is equipped.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of the invention Contraption.
the one with a code 2, here one Barcode, provided article 1 is on a conveyor belt 4 to actual checkout counter transported.
a memory unit 7 is assigned to the processor 5.
This storage unit 7 is item information for each barcode saved. This information is about among other things for price information and an indication of whether the Article with an electronic security element against Theft is secured. If necessary, in the Storage unit 7 also information regarding the type of the securing element 3 included.
the processor 5 recognizes from the information that Article 1 is electronically secured, it activates the Deactivation unit 8, which in the case shown consists of several for the different types of securing elements 3 suitable deactivators 9.
