    Abstract: A self-service checkout terminal includes an input device for receiving a user reported identity code associated with a user of the checkout terminal and a biometric sensing device for detecting a biometric characteristic of the user. The self-service checkout terminal also includes a processing unit electrically coupled to both the input device and the biometric sensing device. Moreover, the self-service checkout terminal includes a memory device electrically coupled to the processing unit. The memory device has stored therein a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, causes the processing unit to (i) retrieve a user biometric profile which corresponds to the user reported identity code, (ii) detect if the user enters a restricted item into the checkout terminal and generate a restricted-item control signal in response thereto, and (iii) compare the user biometric profile with the biometric characteristic and generate an identity-verified control signal if the user biometric profile matches the biometric characteristic. A method of operating a self-service checkout terminal is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of operating a self-service checkout system which includes a base having a scanner secured thereto includes the step of securing an itemization-only retail terminal to the base. The method also includes the step of coupling the itemization-only retail terminal to the scanner. The method further includes the step of operating the itemization-only retail terminal and the scanner so as to allow a first user to enter a first number of items for purchase into the self-service checkout system for a first time period while (i) the itemization-only retail terminal is secured to the base, and (ii) the itemization-only retail terminal is coupled to the scanner. Moreover, the method includes the step of detaching the itemization-only retail terminal from the base. Yet further, the method includes the step of decoupling the itemization-only retail terminal from the scanner. The method further includes the step of securing a full-tendering retail terminal to the base. The method also includes the step of coupling the full-tendering retail terminal to the scanner. Finally, the method includes the step of operating the full-tendering retail terminal and the scanner so as to allow a second user to enter a second number of items for purchase into the self-service checkout system for a second time period while (i) the full-tendering retail terminal is secured to the base, and (ii) the full-tendering retail terminal is coupled to the scanner. A self-service checkout system is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of providing security during operation of a checkout terminal, with the terminal having a first scale, includes the step of storing a first identification code associated with an input item in a memory in response to entry of the input item into the terminal. The method also includes the step of detecting the weight of the input item with the first scale and storing an input weight value associated with the weight of the input item in the memory in response thereto. The method further includes the step of retrieving a second identification code associated with a removal item from the memory in response to a user voiding entry of the removal item. Moreover, the method includes the step of detecting the weight of the removal item with the first scale and generating a removal weight value associated with the weight of the removal item in response thereto. The method yet further includes the step of generating a wrong-item-removed control signal if (1) the first identification code is the same as the second identification code, and (2) the input weight value does not match the removal weight value.

    Abstract: A deployable sheltering assembly for a vehicle includes a set of four supports and a panel, which is flexible. Each support comprises a rod that is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from a plate. The rod comprises a plurality of nested sections and is selectively extensible. The rod is configured to extend from the plate adjacent to a side of the vehicle. A first coupler is coupled to a top of the rod. Each of a set of four second couplers is coupled proximate to a respective corner of the panel. The plates are configured to position singly under the wheels of the vehicle. The supports are positioned singly proximate to each wheel of the vehicle. Each second coupler is positioned to couple to a respective first coupler to couple the panel to the supports so that the panel is configured to shelter the vehicle.
