    摘要: An apparatus and method for self-checkout of non-bar coded items is provided. The apparatus includes a PLU entry device, a PLU database and a processing unit. The PLU entry device includes a display and a GUI. The GUI provides on the display a predetermined image corresponding to a non-bar coded item, and means for the user to select the predetermined image of the non-bar coded item. The PLU entry device supplies a PLU corresponding to the non-bar coded item selected by the user. The processing unit uses the PLU supplied by the PLU entry device to retrieve a price of the selected non-bar coded item from the PLU database. A GUI editor may also be provided for configuring the GUI for non-bar coded items. The processing unit may maintain for each item a count of the number of units of the item sold within a predetermined period of time. The processing unit also may maintain a list of most frequently sold items. The image of at least one item on the list is provided on a selected display screen. The processing unit may update the display screen when the list of most frequently sold items changes. An image of a generic category of items may be provided on the display. The displayed image of the generic category is selected by the user to view images of respective items in the generic category.

    摘要: A point-of-sale (“POS”) system includes POS devices and associated monitoring and diagnostic applications. POS peripherals in a POS device include data memory for storing device configuration and status information. A diagnostic application installed in the POS device monitors and diagnoses the POS device. The diagnostic application monitors the interactions between hardware in the POS device and applications that interface with the hardware. The diagnostic applications analyze these interactions, the configuration and status information and any logs it creates to provide diagnostic information. The POS device also includes several interfaces to access the diagnostic application.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method includes defining a valid scan or range of valid scans as a valid activity of an object in an application-specific activity taking place through a light curtain sensing area of a light curtain, defining an invalid scan or range of invalid scans as an invalid activity of the object in the application-specific activity taking place through the light curtain sensing area of the light curtain, storing parameters and activity-specific rules for processing a plurality of objects, monitoring and processing the object in the application-specific activity taking place through a light curtain sensing area of a low cost light curtain in conjunction with the stored parameters and activity-specific rules, and reporting a status and results of the processing of the object.

    摘要: A customer self-checkout system includes one or more checkout stations and multiple supervisor terminals. The supervisor terminals provide support to, and control over, the self- checkout system and checkout stations. A controller is used to coordinate communications among the checkout stations and supervisor terminals over a wired and/or wireless network interfaces. A user may provide input at supervisory terminal using an interface providing context sensitive prompting to enable control using a simple keyboard interface.

    摘要: A self-checkout system includes a graphical user interface for self-checkout of non-bar-coded items. The interface displayes a predetermined image corresponding to a non-bar-coded item, and means for the user to select the image. A product look up (PLU) entry device provides a PLU corresponding to the item selected by the user and a processing unit uses the selected PLU to retrieve price information from a database. The processing unit may also maintain a list of most frequently sold items and the image of at least on item on the list is provided on the display screen. The processing unit may update the display screen when the list of most requently sold items changes. Images of other non-bar-coded items can also be displayed.

    摘要: A self-checkout system receives a plurality of objects for the identification of each object in the plurality of objects. The system allows security for a collection of the objects and a subset of the collection of objects to be resolved during a self checkout. In order for security to be resolved on an object, a subset of the collection of objects, or a collection of objects the weight detected on a security scale must be equal to the weight of the object, a sum of a subset weight of the collection, or a sum of the collection weight within a given tolerance. If security is not resolved, the system will prevent an additional object from being recognized by the system until the security for the object is resolved.
