摘要: An automated checkout call-forward (ECF) system comprises a queuing area for channelling customers, which leads to one or more checkouts. Each checkout comprises a service area and each checkout can be in either an available condition to accept a new customer, or in an unavailable condition. An indicator is capable of directing a customer to an available checkout. A sensor system is capable of detecting and providing output parameters indicative of the presence of one or more customers in the queuing area and the presence of one or more customers in the service area of each checkout. The automated ECF system is configured to identify any available checkouts based on interpreting the sensor output parameters and to instruct the indicator based on the identified available checkouts.
