摘要:
A transaction processing system which includes a produce recognition server for identifying produce items. The produce recognition system further includes a checkout system including a transaction processing terminal, a bar code reader which sends item identification information associated with bar-coded items and with the produce items to the transaction processing terminal, a produce data collector coupled to the bar code reader, and a computer coupled between the bar code reader and the produce recognition server for relaying produce data to the produce recognition server and produce identification information to the bar code reader.

A method of monitoring item shuffling in a post-scan area of a self-service checkout terminal (10) having a post-scan shelf (42b), a bagwell (38) with a grocery container (40) positioned therein, and a weight scale (20) positioned so as to detect weight of items positioned both on the post-scan shelf (42b) and in the grocery container (40), includes the step of detecting removal of a first number of items from the post-scan shelf (42b) with the weight scale and generating a first weight decrease value in response thereto which corresponds to the weight of the first number of items. The method also includes the step of detecting placement of a second number of items into the grocery container (40) with the weight scale (20)and generating a first weight increase value in response thereto which corresponds to the weight of the second number of items. The method further includes the step of comparing the first weight decrease value to the first weight increase value and generating a first match control signal in response thereto if the first weight decrease value matches the first weight increase value.

In addition to standard product labels, incentive labels are printed and provided to customers when an item is identified to and weighed by a scale/label printer located in a store by accessing an incentive database to determine the existence and nature of any incentive. One or more display devices may be used in connection with providing incentives, including enabling a customer to select from among a number of incentives displayed. An incentive label construction may be provided with desirable folding features. Certain incentives may be of a graduated/progressive type to invite larger purchases by customers.

The invention concerns a method and a device for weighing and labelling packages of good s which consists in carrying each package to an electronic scale (1) wherein the load-receiving device is in the form of a conveyor belt (3). The conveyor belt (3) speed is higher while the goods are being brought or unloaded than during the weighing process. The package labelling is carried out on the conveyor belt (3), once the weighing process is over. Disturbances of the scale resulting from transport or from labelling are eliminated by means of a sufficiently large inert mass of the device receiving the load and by means of a low-pass filter arranged in the electronic evaluation circuit.
摘要:
Apparatus for automatically determining the weight of a plurality of articles (14), each of the articles (14) having a surface portion (54) with a unique element thereon, comprises a plurality of assemblies (22) and a computer (56). Each assembly (22) includes a surface (30) for supporting an article (14), a transducer (36) in operative contact with the supporting surface (30) for producing an output signal indicative of the weight of an article (14) placed on the supporting surface (30), and a sensor (48) in operative relationship with an article (14) on the supporting surface (30) for producing an output signal indicative of the unique element on the surface portion (54) of the article. A computer (56) receives the transducer output signals and the sensor output signals and, for each article (14) on the supporting surfaces (30), computes the weight of the article based on the transducer output signal and identifies the article (14) based on the sensor output signal. The apparatus is especially useful as an inventory control system for a bar.

This invention provides an electronic scale printer, and more particularly an electronic scale printer in which a printer (1) is connected electrically to the electronic scale used in a department store or supermarket etc., and required data are printed on a printing sheet under an instruction from the electronic scale and issued from the printer, comprising a printer (1) capable of issuing both a label and a receipt through one printing means (2) and more particularly an electronic scale printer in which either a label (L) or a receipt corresponding to the kind of printing sheet stored in a cassette (4) is printed and issued under a proper replacement of the cassette (4) having printing sheet (L) for labels stored therein with a cassette having a printing sheet for receipts stored therein.
摘要:
In use of an electronic weigher, to weigh a particular commodity, individual commodity data is called from memory by pressing an individual preset key (10) and is utilized by a display (6) or printer (7). At least the weight and price of the commodity are displayed. Disposed at one side of the weigher body (2) is an auxiliary keyboard (11) having a plurality of preset keys (10) for reading out the commodity data. This keyboard (11), which is connected to the weigher body (2) by a connecting shaft, can be erected and reclined about the connecting shaft and disconnected from the weigher body when desired, thereby providing for greater flexibility and convenience as compared with prior weighers.

摘要:
A label printing system includes an input device (1), a memory (2), a CRT display device (3), a printing mechanism (4), registration means (6) and label printing means (5). The input device, comprising manual data input means, enters label creation data and edits the data to provide label creation information. The memory is adapted to store the input data and the label creation information obtained by editing the same, the information being displayed on the screen of the CRT and printed by the printing mechanism. The registration means is adapted to register the label creation data and information in the memory. The label printing means causes the information to be displayed on the screen of the CRT, for checking, and causes the printing mechanism to print out the information on a label.
