特開２００２−３６７０３０号公報JP 2002-367030 A

従来のセルフチェックアウトシステムは、買い物客自身により商品のスキャニングと会計処理操作とを行う点に特徴があるものであるが、スキャニング後の商品をレジ袋に順次納めなければならない。しかしながら、例えば、豆腐や刺身等の軟らかく、変形を嫌う商品などのように、商品によっては、商品同士が重なることによりかかる圧力を避けたいものがあり、スキャニング前にスキャニングの順序を考慮して商品を選ぶ必要がある。すなわち、重なって外圧が掛けられても差し支えのない商品からスキャニングをするような配慮が必要なものである。そのため、スキャニング時の操作性が非常に悪く、能率的でもない。   The conventional self-checkout system is characterized in that the shopper scans the merchandise and performs the accounting process by himself, but the scanned merchandise must be sequentially stored in a shopping bag. However, some products, such as tofu and sashimi, which are soft and dislikes deformation, may not be subject to pressure due to the overlapping of the products. Considering the scanning order before scanning It is necessary to choose. That is, consideration must be given to scanning from a product that does not interfere with external pressure applied. Therefore, the operability at the time of scanning is very bad and not efficient.

本発明は、買い物籠台と、会計本体と、読取後の商品を集積する集積台とが設けられたセルフチェックアウトシステムにおいて、前記集積台の計量器に前記スキャナによるスキャニングを終了した商品を入れるためのレジ袋を保持するレジ袋掛けを設け、前記集積台の計量器に前記レジ袋に入れる前の前記スキャナによるスキャニングを終了した商品を一時的に置く商品置き台を設けた。また、前記買い物籠台の計量器で計量された重量から買い物籠の重量を差し引いた値と前記集積台の計量器により計量された前記商品置き台に置かれた商品の重量を含めた値とを比較し、不正の有無をチェックするようにした。
The present invention provides a self-checkout system provided with a shopping basket, an accounting body, and a stacking table for collecting products after reading, and putting the products for which scanning by the scanner has been completed into the measuring device of the stacking table. A plastic bag holder for holding a plastic bag is provided, and a product table for temporarily placing the product, which has been scanned by the scanner before being placed in the plastic bag, in the measuring device of the stacking table is provided. Further, a value obtained by subtracting the weight of the shopping basket from the weight measured by the weighing instrument of the shopping basket, and a value including the weight of the product placed on the commodity placing table measured by the measuring instrument of the stacking table, Were compared to check for fraud.

本発明は、買い物籠台に置かれた買い物籠から商品を取り出して会計本体でスキャニングし、スキャニング後の商品を集積台の買い物籠又はレジ袋に投入するセルフチェックアウト操作を行なう際に、買い物籠台に置かれた買い物籠から無作為に商品を取り出し、集積台の買い物籠又はレジ袋に投入する際に、軟らかい商品、或いは、変形を嫌う商品を商品置き台に一時的に置き、最後にそれらの商品を集積台の買い物籠又はレジ袋に納められた他の商品の上に重ねて入れることができ、これにより、変形を防止するとともに、一時的に商品置き台に置かれた商品も計量器で計測されているため、正しい会計処理を行うことができるものである。   The present invention takes out a product from a shopping basket placed on a shopping basket, scans it with an accounting body, and puts the scanned product into a shopping basket or a shopping bag on an accumulation table when performing a self-checkout operation. When a product is randomly picked up from a shopping basket placed on the table and put into a shopping basket or a plastic bag on the stacking table, a soft product or a product that does not like deformation is temporarily placed on the product table, and finally The product can be placed on top of the shopping basket on the stacking table or other products in the shopping bag, thereby preventing deformation and temporarily placing the product on the product stand. Because it is measured with a measuring instrument, it is possible to perform correct accounting.

本発明の第一の実施の態様を図１乃至図３に基づいて説明する。まず、買い物籠台１と、会計本体２と、集積台３とが、それぞれ独立したブロック状の筐体４、５、６として形成されている。前記買い物籠台１の筐体４と、前記集積台３の筐体６とは、上方から見て前方が先細りとなる梯形で、前面７、８は、下方が奥側に引っ込む傾斜面とされている。前記会計本体２の前面９も前記前面７、８と同様に下方が奥側に引っ込む傾斜面とされている。そして、前記買い物籠台１と前記会計本体２と前記集積台３とは、それぞれの側面を略密着させて横方向に配列されている。そのため、それぞれの前記買い物籠台１と前記会計本体２と前記集積台３とは、前面７、８、９が一定の円弧に沿って配列されていることになる。   A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the shopping basket stand 1, the accounting body 2, and the collection stand 3 are formed as independent block-like casings 4, 5, and 6, respectively. The housing 4 of the shopping basket 1 and the housing 6 of the stacking table 3 are trapezoids that taper forward when viewed from above, and the front surfaces 7 and 8 are inclined surfaces that retract downward to the back side. ing. The front surface 9 of the accounting main body 2 is also an inclined surface with the lower side retracted to the back side, like the front surfaces 7 and 8. The shopping basket stand 1, the accounting main body 2, and the stacking stand 3 are arranged in the lateral direction with their side surfaces being in close contact with each other. Therefore, each of the shopping basket stand 1, the accounting main body 2, and the stacking stand 3 has front surfaces 7, 8, and 9 arranged along a certain arc.

ついで、前記買い物籠台１は、前記筐体４の上に計量器１０が設けられている。この計量器１０には、買い物客が買おうとする商品を入れた買い物籠１１が載置されるものであり、前記買い物籠１１を含む全重量が計測される。   Next, the shopping basket table 1 is provided with a measuring instrument 10 on the housing 4. A shopping basket 11 containing a product that the shopper wants to buy is placed on the measuring instrument 10, and the total weight including the shopping basket 11 is measured.

また、前記会計本体２は、前記筐体５の上に決済機能部１２が設けられているものである。すなわち、決済機能部１２の下方には、硬貨釣銭機１３及び紙幣釣銭機１４が併設されている。これらの硬貨釣銭機１３及び紙幣釣銭機１４の上方には、テーブル１５が設けられ、このテーブル１５の上方には、スキャナ１６、暗証番号入力機１７、レシートプリンタ１８が併設され、さらに、これらの上には、タッチパネル面１９とカード読み取り機２０とが設けられ、さらに、中央奥部にはランプ２１が設けられている。前記スキャナ１６は、スキャナブロック２２として分離可能に形成されており、前記筐体５にはカバー等で覆われて取り出し可能に配設されているものである。   The accounting main body 2 is provided with a settlement function unit 12 on the housing 5. That is, a coin change machine 13 and a banknote change machine 14 are provided below the settlement function unit 12. A table 15 is provided above the coin change machine 13 and the bill change machine 14, and a scanner 16, a password input device 17, and a receipt printer 18 are provided above the table 15. Above, a touch panel surface 19 and a card reader 20 are provided, and a lamp 21 is provided at the center back. The scanner 16 is formed to be separable as a scanner block 22, and is disposed in the housing 5 so as to be covered with a cover or the like so that it can be taken out.

さらに、前記集積台３は、前記筐体６の上に前記計量器１０とは別の計量器２３が設けられている。この計量器２３の後方には上方へ立ち上がる支柱２４を介して商品置き台２５が設けられている。この商品置き台２５の前方には、商品を入れるように開口した一枚のレジ袋２６を保持する二本のレジ袋掛け２７が突出形成されている。これらのレジ袋掛け２７の中央には、未使用の積層されたレジ袋２６を保持する保持部２８が設けられている。一般的には、レジ袋２６の積層枚数は、１００枚であり、積層厚さは５ｍｍ程度である。   Further, the stacking table 3 is provided with a measuring device 23 different from the measuring device 10 on the housing 6. A product placing table 25 is provided behind the measuring instrument 23 via a support column 24 rising upward. In front of the product placing table 25, two plastic bag hooks 27 for holding a single plastic bag 26 opened so as to store products are formed to protrude. At the center of these shopping bag holders 27, a holding portion 28 for holding unused stacked shopping bag 26 is provided. In general, the number of stacked shopping bags 26 is 100, and the thickness of the stacked bags is about 5 mm.

このような構成において、買い物籠台１と、会計本体２と、集積台３とは、図２に示すように、左側から右方向に向けて買い物籠台１、会計本体２、集積台３の順に配列され、かつ、それらはそれぞれの側面が密着するように設置される。買い物籠台１と集積台３との上方から見た形状が先細りの梯形であるため、前面７、８、９が一定の円弧に沿う形、すなわち、扇状に配列されている。そして、これらの買い物籠台１と、会計本体２と、集積台３とは、図示しない電線の接続により、電源及び信号ラインが接続されているものである。さらに、配線関係に無線通信等を使用すれば、買い物籠台１と、会計本体２と、集積台３とがどのような配列になっていても通信は可能である。   In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the shopping basket 1, the accounting main body 2, and the stacking table 3 are composed of the shopping basket 1, the accounting main body 2, and the stacking base 3 from the left to the right. They are arranged in order, and they are installed so that their respective side surfaces are in close contact. Since the shape seen from the upper side of the shopping basket stand 1 and the collection stand 3 is a tapered trapezoid, the front surfaces 7, 8, and 9 are arranged along a certain arc, that is, in a fan shape. The shopping basket stand 1, the accounting body 2, and the collection stand 3 are connected to a power source and a signal line by connection of electric wires (not shown). Furthermore, if wireless communication or the like is used for the wiring relationship, communication is possible regardless of the arrangement of the shopping basket 1, the accounting main body 2, and the stacking table 3.

そして、買い物客は、購入しようとする商品が入った買い物籠１１を買い物籠台１の計量器１０に置く。これにより、総重量はデータとして決済機能部１２に送り出され、かつ、買い物客は、会計本体２のタッチパネル面１９の画面指示に従って個々の商品をスキャナ１６にてスキャニングし、スキャニングを終了した商品を集積台３のレジ袋掛け２７に取り付けられたレジ袋２６に入れる。なお、レジ袋２６は、保持部２８に積層された状態でストックされているものであるが、買い物客は商品のスキャニングに先立って一枚のレジ袋２６を取り出してレジ袋掛け２７に開いた状態でひっかけておくものである。   Then, the shopper places the shopping basket 11 containing the products to be purchased on the measuring instrument 10 of the shopping basket 1. As a result, the total weight is sent as data to the settlement function unit 12, and the shopper scans each product with the scanner 16 in accordance with the screen instruction on the touch panel surface 19 of the accounting body 2, and the product for which scanning has been completed. The plastic bag 26 attached to the plastic bag hook 27 of the stacking table 3 is put in. The shopping bag 26 is stocked in a state of being stacked on the holding unit 28, but the shopper takes out one shopping bag 26 and opens it on the shopping bag holder 27 prior to scanning the product. It's something you'll hang on.

このスキャニング操作を行う場合、買い物客は買い物籠台１に載っている買い物籠１１から無作為に商品を取り出す。そして、スキャニングしている際に、買い物客は商品を手で持つので、その商品が重ねても良いものか、あるいは、変形を嫌うものであるのかの判断を行うことができ、重ねても問題がない商品の場合には、レジ袋２６に入れ、変形を嫌うものである場合には、一時的に商品置き台２５に載せておく。そして、全ての商品をスキャニングし終わると、商品置き台２５に載せておいた商品を含めて全ての商品の重量が計測され、不正がなかったかどうかのチェックがなされる。すなわち、買い物客はタッチパネル面１９で会計処理を行う。この会計処理は、画面操作で現金かカードかの支払方法を選択し、現金の場合には、硬貨釣銭機１３や紙幣釣銭機１４に現金を入れ、カードの場合にはカード読取機にカードを通す。このような会計処理が終了すると、レシートプリンタ１８よりレシートが発行され、釣銭がある場合には、硬貨釣銭機１３や紙幣釣銭機１４から釣銭が戻され、チェックアウトが終了する。このとき、前述のように、買い物籠台１の計量器１０で計量された買い物籠１１を含む商品の全重量が計量されており、すべての商品をスキャニングした後の全重量は、集積台３の計量器２３により計量されている。そのため、計量器１０のデータから買い物籠１１の重量を差し引いた値と計量器２３により計量された重量とを比較することにより登録した商品がすべてレジ袋２６及び商品置き台２５に移動したことが確認され、この検知により不正防止が図られている。そして、正しく会計処理が終了した後は、商品置き台２５に載せておいた商品をレジ袋２６に入っている商品の上に積み重ねて納め、買い物客はそのままレジ袋２６を持って帰る。なお、会計本体２には、図示しないコントローラ（ＰＯＳ）、電源等が設置されており、各機器の制御を行っている。   When performing this scanning operation, the shopper randomly picks up products from the shopping basket 11 placed on the shopping basket 1. And while scanning, the shopper holds the product in hand, so it can be judged whether the product can be stacked or dislikes deformation. In the case of a product that does not have a product, it is put in a plastic bag 26, and in the case where the product does not like deformation, it is temporarily placed on the product table 25. When all the products have been scanned, the weights of all the products including the products placed on the product table 25 are measured, and it is checked whether there is any fraud. That is, the shopper performs an accounting process on the touch panel surface 19. In this accounting process, a cash or card payment method is selected by a screen operation. In the case of cash, the cash is inserted into the coin change machine 13 or the bill change machine 14, and in the case of a card, the card is read into the card reader. Pass through. When such an accounting process is completed, a receipt is issued from the receipt printer 18, and when there is a change, the change is returned from the coin change machine 13 or the bill change machine 14, and the checkout is completed. At this time, as described above, the total weight of the product including the shopping basket 11 weighed by the measuring instrument 10 of the shopping basket table 1 is measured, and the total weight after scanning all the products is the accumulation table 3. It is weighed by a measuring instrument 23 of For this reason, all the products registered by comparing the value obtained by subtracting the weight of the shopping basket 11 from the data of the measuring instrument 10 and the weight measured by the measuring instrument 23 have moved to the shopping bag 26 and the product placing table 25. This is confirmed and fraud prevention is achieved by this detection. After the accounting process is correctly completed, the products placed on the product stand 25 are stacked and stored on the products in the plastic bag 26, and the shopper returns with the plastic bag 26 as it is. The accounting body 2 is provided with a controller (POS), a power source, etc. (not shown) and controls each device.

また、前述のように、買い物籠台１と会計本体２と集積台３とが扇状に配列されていることにより、買い物籠台１上の買い物籠１１から商品を取り出してスキャナ１６によりスキャニングし、かつ、集積台３のレジ袋２６に入れる動作が、会計本体２の正面に立つ買い物客を中心に円弧状の動きで行うことができるため、買い物客が一定位置に立っているだけで操作することができ、作業性が高い。   Further, as described above, the shopping basket 1, the accounting body 2, and the collection board 3 are arranged in a fan shape, so that a product is taken out from the shopping basket 11 on the shopping basket 1 and scanned by the scanner 16. In addition, since the operation of putting in the shopping bag 26 of the stacking table 3 can be performed by an arc-shaped movement centering on the shopper standing in front of the accounting body 2, the operation is performed only by the shopper standing at a certain position. High workability.

つぎに、図３に示すように、買い物籠台１と、会計本体２と、集積台３との前面７、８、９は、下方が奥側に引っ込む傾斜面とされているので、買い物客が車椅子等を利用している状態であっても、より一層、買い物籠台１、会計本体２、集積台３に近づくことができ、操作性を向上させることができる。この状態は、健常者や子供であっても足の先を傾斜により形成された空間内に入れることができるため、買い物籠台１、会計本体２、集積台３に近づくことができ、操作性を向上させることができる。また、スキャナブロック２２を会計本体２から取り出して商品置き台２５の上に置くことができる。これにより、商品のスキャニングを集積台３の上で行うことができ、更に、買い物客の移動距離を縮めて操作性を高めることもできる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the front surfaces 7, 8, and 9 of the shopping basket 1, the accounting body 2, and the stacking table 3 are inclined so that the lower side is retracted to the back side. Even in a state of using a wheelchair or the like, it is possible to further approach the shopping basket table 1, the accounting body 2, and the stacking table 3, and the operability can be improved. In this state, even a healthy person or a child can put the tip of the foot into the space formed by the inclination, so that it is possible to approach the shopping basket table 1, the accounting body 2, and the stacking table 3, which is easy to operate. Can be improved. Further, the scanner block 22 can be taken out from the accounting body 2 and placed on the product table 25. Thereby, the scanning of goods can be performed on the stacking table 3, and the operability can be improved by reducing the travel distance of the shopper.

なお、買い物客が自前の買い物籠１１を持参してセルフチェックアウトをすることも可能である。この場合には、レジ袋掛け２７にレジ袋２６を引き出さずに計量器２３に自分の買物籠１１を載せ、スキャニング後の商品を買い物籠１１に入れる。この場合にも、変形を嫌う商品は、商品置き台２５に一時的に置き、最後にそれらの商品を買い物籠１１に入れる。   It is also possible for the shopper to carry out a self-checkout with his / her own shopping basket 11. In this case, the shopping bag 11 is placed on the measuring instrument 23 without pulling out the shopping bag 26 on the shopping bag holder 27, and the scanned product is put into the shopping basket 11. Also in this case, products that dislike deformation are temporarily placed on the product placing table 25, and finally those products are put into the shopping basket 11.

つぎに、図４に基づいて本発明の第二の実施の態様を説明する。図１乃至図３で説明した部分と同一部分は同一符号を用い説明も省略する（以下同じ）。本実施の態様は、買い物籠台１の右側に会計本体２を横並びに並べ、集積台３は買い物客に向けて直角位置に配設したものである。そのため、買い物籠台１と会計本体２とが横並びに配設され、集積台３が買い物客に向って配設されるため、全体としてはＬ字形の配列である。このように配列することにより、買い物籠１１からレジ袋２６までの商品の移動距離が短くなり、操作性が向上する。   Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. The same parts as those described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted (the same applies hereinafter). In this embodiment, the accounting bodies 2 are arranged side by side on the right side of the shopping basket stand 1, and the stacking stand 3 is arranged at a right angle toward the shopper. Therefore, the shopping basket stand 1 and the accounting main body 2 are arranged side by side, and the stacking table 3 is arranged toward the shopper, so that the whole is an L-shaped arrangement. By arranging in this way, the moving distance of the product from the shopping basket 11 to the shopping bag 26 is shortened, and the operability is improved.

次に、図５に基づいて本発明の第三の実施の態様を説明する。本実施の形態は、左側から右方向に向けて買い物籠台１、集積台３、会計本体２の順に配列したものである。そして、会計本体２からスキャニングブロック２２を取り出して集積台３の商品置き台２５の上にセットしたものである（この状態は図示せず）。このように配列することにより、商品の読取動作は、商品を買い物籠台１と集積台３との間の短い距離を移動させるだけで行うことができ、買い物客に対する負担を軽減することができる。また、商品の移動距離が短い状態で商品データを入力することができる。そして、すべての商品のスキャニングを終わってから買い物客は会計本体２の正面で会計処理をしてセルフチェックを終了する。
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the shopping basket stand 1, the stacking stand 3, and the accounting main body 2 are arranged in this order from the left to the right. Then, the scanning block 22 is taken out from the accounting body 2 and set on the product placing table 25 of the stacking table 3 (this state is not shown) . By arranging in this way, the product reading operation can be performed only by moving the product over a short distance between the shopping basket table 1 and the stacking table 3, and the burden on the shopper can be reduced. . In addition, product data can be input in a state where the travel distance of the product is short. After the scanning of all the commodities is completed, the shopper performs accounting processing in front of the accounting body 2 and ends the self-check.

本発明の商品置き台２５は、計量器２３から突出する支柱２４により支持されて計量器２３より上方に位置しているため、レジ袋２６の上方に商品を移動させるための空間を確保することができ、買い物客の操作性を損なうことがない。   Since the product placing table 25 of the present invention is supported by the column 24 protruding from the measuring instrument 23 and is positioned above the measuring instrument 23, a space for moving the product above the shopping bag 26 is ensured. And does not impair the operability of shoppers.

また、商品置き台２５にレジ袋２６を保持するレジ袋掛け２７を設けたので、レジ袋２６の供給を容易に行うことができるものである。   Further, since the plastic bag hook 27 for holding the plastic bag 26 is provided on the product placing table 25, the plastic bag 26 can be easily supplied.
