Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the POS system shown in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that even if the product is radioactively contaminated, neither the store nor the consumer can obtain the product because there is no equipment for confirming the radioactive contamination of the product. Confirmation of radioactive contamination

Embodiment 1

[0029] Such as figure 1 As shown, the POS system 1 as the first embodiment of the present invention is constituted by at least a main device (POS host) 10 and a plurality of POS terminals 20 connected to the main device 10 via a line such as a LAN. In addition, descriptions of device configurations that have little relevance to the present invention are omitted. In addition, the device described as a single device in this embodiment may be configured by dividing into a plurality of devices, or conversely, the device that is divided into a plurality in this embodiment may be configured as an integrated device. while describing each device.

[0030] The host device 10 includes a storage unit (storage unit) 11 , an input unit, an output unit, a control unit, a communication unit, an auxiliary storage device, and the like. The control unit is composed of a CPU and the like. The storage unit 11 is composed of ROM, RAM, hard disk, and the like.

[0031] In the master device 11, ...

Embodiment 2

[0059] Next, according to Figure 5 to Figure 7 , the POS system as the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0060] Here, as the POS system of the second embodiment of the present invention, only part of the data structure of the PLU file is different from the POS system of the first embodiment. Therefore, only the POS system with the first embodiment will be described below. The differences will be explained.

[0061] First of all, in the POS system of the second embodiment of the present invention, the object of radioactivity measurement is limited to some commodities, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the PLU file stored in the storage unit 11 of the host device 10, a "radiation measurement determination flag" is registered in association with a "commodity code". In addition, in this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, although "1" is assigned to products subject to radioactivity measurement ("green onion" or "T-shirt (S)"), and "CD bag" or "trash ...

Embodiment 3

[0071] Next, according to Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 , the POS system as the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0072] Here, the POS system according to the third embodiment of the present invention is only partially different from the POS system according to the first embodiment only in the installation location of the comparison unit for comparing the "measured radioactivity value" and the "threshold radioactivity value". Differences from the POS system of the first embodiment will be described.

[0073]First, in contrast to the comparison unit 24 that compares the “radiation measurement value” and the “radiation threshold value” in the first embodiment, which is provided in the control unit 23 of the POS terminal 20, in the third embodiment, a barcode scanner 30 side is provided with The comparing unit 34 compares the "measured radioactivity value" and the "threshold radioactive value". The comparison unit 34 is constituted by a control ch...

Abstract

Provided is a POS system including: a storage part for storing a product code for identifying a product and a radiation dose or a radioactivity threshold defined for each product code, the product code and the radiation dose or the radioactivity threshold being associated with each other; a scanner part including a product reading part for reading a product code attached to a product, and a radioactivity measurement part for measuring a radiation dose emitted from the product or radioactivity defined based on the radiation dose; a comparison part for comparing a radiation does or a radioactivity threshold corresponding to the product code read by the product code reading part and a value measured by the radioactivity measurement part with each other; and an alert output part for outputting an alert when the measured value exceeds the threshold.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a POS system (Point of sale system), a barcode scanner, and a control method for the POS system. Background technique [0002] As a POS system (sales management system) installed in stores such as a supermarket, for example, the POS system shown in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2011-100371 (patent document 1) is known. Contents of the invention [0003] However, in the POS system shown in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that even if the product is radioactively contaminated, neither the store nor the consumer can obtain the product because there is no equipment for confirming the radioactive contamination of the product. Confirmation of radioactive contamination. [0004] In addition, stores in the distribution industry sell various products such as food, clothing, household goods, and daily necessities to consumers. There is a possibility that these products may be radioactively contaminated in various proce...
