Embodiment Construction

[0012] Embodiments of the invention will refer to Figures 1 to 5 Be explained. The shopping basket table 1, the settlement unit 2 and the collection part 3 are formed as independent modular boxes 4, 5 and 6, respectively. The box 4 of the shopping basket table 1 and the box 6 of the collection part 3 have a trapezoidal shape with the tip pointing forward (towards the customer) from above, with the front surfaces 7 and 8 sloping downward and the bottom of the front surfaces recessed backwards. The front surface 9 of the settlement unit 2 is also inclined downward, and the bottom of the front surface 9 is recessed backward. The shopping basket table 1, the clearing unit 2 and the collection part 3 are arranged laterally in such a way that adjacent sides almost touch each other. Therefore, the front surfaces 7, 8 and 9 of the shopping basket table 1, the settlement unit 2 and the collection part 3 are arranged along a circular arc.

[0013] The shopping basket table 1 include...

This self-checkout system needs to confirm whether the goods have been registered correctly. Therefore, as demonstrated in Japanese Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-367030, the total weight is weighed both upstream and downstream of the commodity flow during the settlement process. That is, the first weigh...
