Embodiment Construction

[0054] Figure 1a and 1b A perspective view and a side view are shown of a device 1 according to the invention comprising a weighing scale with a bowl 3 for receiving an item selected by a user and a load cell 2 . The device 1 includes an automatic identification system with a camera 4 . Therefore, the automatic recognition system of the illustrated example includes an image recognition system, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The imaging device 4 takes a picture of the item selected by the user placed in the bowl 3, and generates image data. The image data is compared via electronic data processing to the image data of the inventory item stored in the database. To this end, the automatic identification system may include a CPU and / or accelerated hardware. In particular, check that the identifying characteristics of the item selected by the user match the identifying characteristics of the inventory item. In this way, a subset of identified items is determ...
