摘要： A system, method and/or apparatus aids in preventing duplicate bar code entries in an item security database. Bar codes from items that vary with respect to a security characteristic such as a non-weight characteristic are compiled into a custom bar code format or template that is stored in a custom bar code format file. An obtained bar code from a scanned item is compared to the custom bar code format. If the obtained bar code compares to the custom bar code format, the bar code is manipulated according to the custom bar code format. The manipulated bar code is used to retrieve a security characteristic (value or data) regarding the scanned item and/or to create a bar code entry with an associated security characteristic if the bar code entry is not in the item security database.

摘要翻译： 系统，方法和/或设备有助于防止项目安全数据库中的重复条形码条目。 来自不同于诸如非重量特征之类的安全特性的项目的条形码被编译成存储在自定义条形码格式文件中的自定义条形码格式或模板。 从扫描项目获得的条形码与自定义条形码格式进行比较。 如果获得的条形码与自定义条形码格式比较，则条形码将根据自定义条形码格式进行操作。 如果条形码条目不在项目安全数据库中，则操纵的条形码用于检索关于扫描的项目的安全特性（值或数据）和/或创建具有相关联的安全特性的条形码条目。

摘要： A self-checkout lane in a store comprises an incoming goods path for receiving goods, first and second goods collection zones, and a segregation device operable under control of a computer processor to divert goods from the incoming goods path into one or the other of the two goods collection zones. The incoming goods path includes a product scanner electrically coupled to the computer processor and operable to evaluate the total retail price of a plurality of goods. The goods of a first customer are diverted to the first goods collection zone. After receiving payment for the goods, the computer processor operates the segregation device to allow the first customer to access their goods, and to meanwhile divert subsequent goods of a second customer to the second goods collection zone, thereby facilitating the swift and efficient use of the self-checkout terminals by customers. The invention also includes security means to help guard against misappropriation of goods.
