摘要： A coupon manager is provided including a front end (102), a back end (104) and a central processor (114) for facilitating the processing and settlement of coupons. The coupons are received from customers at the front end (102) which may include a cashier register. The cashier scans a bar code on the coupons and the scanned information may be supplied to the back end (104). The received coupons are delivered to the back end (104) for imaging and processing. The back end (104) determines whether the coupons are valid. Valid coupons are destroyed and sent to a destruction bin, and invalid coupons may be sent to one of a number of other bins. The processed information is forwarded to the central processor (114) which collates the information from a number of stores and reports the information to manufacturers for settlement. The present invention also provides a booklet having a listing of discounted items identifiable by a single bar code. The items may be arranged by types of goods or manufacturers and/or in alphabetical order so as to facilitate the use thereof by a customer. The booklet may be useable by itself or with coupon manager.

摘要翻译： 提供优惠券管理器，包括前端，后端和中央处理器，用于促进优惠券的处理和结算。 优惠券从前端的客户收到，可能包括收银台。 收银员扫描优惠券上的条形码，扫描的信息可能会提供给后端。 接收到的优惠券被传送到后端进行成像和处理。 后端确定优惠券是否有效。 有效的优惠券被销毁并发送到销毁箱，无效的优惠券可能会发送到其他多个箱子中的一个。 经处理的信息被转发到中央处理器，其对来自多个商店的信息进行整理，并将信息报告给制造商以进行结算。 本发明还提供一种具有通过单个条形码可识别的打折项目的列表的小册子。 这些物品可以按照商品或制造商的类型和/或按字母顺序排列，以便于顾客使用它们。 该小册子本身或优惠券经理可能会使用。
