Self-help check-out apparatus for supermarket and self-help check-out method for supermarket

Abstract

The invention, which relates to the radio frequency identification field, discloses a self-help check-out apparatus for a supermarket. The apparatus comprises a server, an article placing platform with a conveying belt, a radio frequency identifier arranged above the conveying belt, and a self-help check-out terminal. An isolation cabin is erected on the article placing platform; and a contractile isolation door is arranged at the front end surface of the isolation cabin. A first sensor is arranged below the initial end of the conveying belt; and a second sensor is arranged below the conveying belt in a scanning area of the radio frequency identifier. The server controls the stretching and contraction of the isolation door according to pressure signals detected by the first sensor and the second sensor and controls the motion of the conveying belt; the radio frequency identifier sends the identified data to the server; the server sends a data processing result to the self-help check-out terminal; and the server controls the reverse transmission of the conveying belt according to the signal of the self-help check-out terminal. According to the invention, with the apparatus, the check-out speed of the supermarket can be accelerated; the personnel cost of the supermarket can be reduced; and a convenient shopping channel can be provided for customers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of radio frequency identification, in particular to a supermarket self-checkout device and a supermarket self-checkout method. Background technique [0002] In daily life, supermarkets set up no more than ten checkout channels, and a supermarket may have thousands of consumer groups at the same time, especially on weekends or holidays, when customers have to wait in long queues after choosing products in the supermarket. The supermarket recruits cashiers to scan the product barcodes one by one. The checkout efficiency is low. Customers waste time in the queuing process. Some customers even give up shopping because they avoid queuing. This is an invisible loss for the supermarket and affects the supermarket products. sales volume. [0003] For this reason, many large supermarkets try their best to open more checkout channels, but on the one hand, they need to recruit more cashiers; Operating costs of supermarkets. ...

[0003] For this reason, many large supermarkets try their best to open more checkout channels, but on the one hand, they need to recruit more cashiers; Supermarket operating costs

[0004] Traditional barcode scanners have strict requirements on the scanning angle and scanning distance of goods, which greatly affects the speed of checkout. It is urgent to develop a supermarket self-checkout device that uses efficient and easy-to-read radio frequency identification (RFID) ) label, improve the checkout speed of the supermarket, reduce the personnel cost of the supermarket, and provide consumers with convenient shopping channels
