[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention;

[0034] See also Figure 1-5 In the present invention, a pricing system combining ID card, intelligent monitoring and gravity sensor includes: a pricing platform 1, a table monitoring module 2, an ID card system 3, a dish weighing module 4 and a checkout module 5.

[0035] The pricing platform 1 includes a member pricing module 11 and a non-member pricing module 12 . Both the member pricing module 11 and the non-member pricing module 12 include a table pricing unit 13 , a dish pricing unit 14 and a beverage pricing unit 15 .

[0036] The table monitoring module 2 includes a monitoring module 21 and an identification module 22 . The monitoring module 21 is a monitoring camera, and the identification module 22 is used to identify the number of people at the table in the monitoring module 21 .

[0037] The ID card system 3 includes an ID card information repository 31, an ID card identification module 32, and an ID card data writing module 33. The ID card information repository 31 is used to store the table pricing data corresponding to each ID card. The ID card identification module 32 identifies the information of the ID card. The ID card data writing module 33 is used to store the pricing information into the corresponding ID card file in the corresponding ID card information repository 31.

[0038] The dish weighing module 4 is used to weigh the amount of dishes used and upload the weighing results to the pricing platform 1. The checkout module 5 is used to settle the table consumption amount and check out according to the pricing amount of the pricing platform 1.

[0039] In the present invention, after the user enters the store, he takes a seat, scans the code, orders and selects the soup base and drinks. According to whether the diner is a member, one of the member pricing module 11 and the non-member pricing module 12 is selected. At this time, the table pricing unit 13 in the selected member pricing module 11 and the non-member pricing module 12 calculates the table consumption, and then the diner takes the corresponding table ID card to pick up the dishes. During the dish picking process, the ID card is placed in the dish picking area and the ID card recognition module 32 recognizes the ID card, and then the dishes are taken. During the dish picking process, the dish weighing module 4 set at the dish placement position calculates the weight of the dish, and then the ID card data writing module 33 uploads the dish picking data to the file corresponding to the table in the ID card information storage library 31, and the dish pricing unit 14 retrieves the ID card information The data in the file corresponding to the table of the ID card in the storage 31 is used to complete the dish consumption amount according to the weight of the dishes. During the diners' eating process, the table monitoring module 2 monitors and identifies the number of diners at the table, and uploads the identification data to the table pricing unit 13. The table pricing unit 13 calculates the consumption amount for the number of diners, and then adds the alcohol through the alcohol pricing unit 15 to calculate the consumption amount. When the meal is completed and the bill is settled, the table pricing unit 13, the dish pricing unit 14 and the alcohol pricing unit 15 upload the pricing data to the checkout module 5, and then the checkout work replaces the manual accounting and checkout method, which is more intelligent, avoids the problem of manual pricing errors, saves manpower, and makes the pricing and checkout more convenient and quick, giving diners a better dining experience.

[0040] See also Figure 1-3 , wherein: the table pricing unit 13 is used to calculate the table consumption and the number of people consumption, wherein the table consumption is the minimum consumption of the pot base and drinks at the table, and the number of people consumption is the number of people, small ingredients and part of the tableware consumption of drinks.

[0041] In the present invention, the table pricing unit 13 mainly calculates the minimum consumption of the pot base and the dining consumption amount of the number of people.

[0042] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , wherein: the dish weighing module 4 includes a plurality of dish weighing units 41 , the number of the dish weighing units 41 is the same as the number of dishes and corresponds one to one, and the weighing data of the dish weighing units 41 are uploaded to the dish pricing unit 14 .

[0043] In the present invention, a corresponding number of dish weighing units 41 are selected according to the number of dishes, and the total weight of each dish is weighed separately. When the diner takes the dishes, the dish weighing unit 41 uploads the weight before and after taking the dishes to the dish pricing unit 14 to calculate the number of dishes taken by the diner, and the calculation method is:

[0044] The weight of the dish before picking up the meal - the weight of the dish after picking up the meal = the weight of the meal picked up.

[0045] See also Figure 3 , wherein: the monitoring module 21 monitors the table in real time, the identification module 22 starts the identification cycle from fifteen minutes after the table is occupied, identifies once every five minutes, and uploads the data to the table pricing unit 13.

[0046] In the present invention, the recognition module 22 periodically recognizes the number of people at the table through the video captured by the monitoring module 21 to obtain the accurate number of people dining, thereby determining the tableware consumption by the number of people, making it convenient for the table pricing unit 13 to calculate the consumption amount by the number of people.

[0047] See also Figure 1-3 , wherein: the table pricing unit 13 receives the number of people data identified by the identification module 22, and the maximum count is used for settlement.

[0048] In the present invention, an increase in the number of diners means an increase in the number of tableware used, and the departure of some diners during the meal does not affect the pricing method based on the maximum count.

[0049] See also Figure 4 , wherein: the pricing system also includes a table information conversion module 6, which is used to transfer the file data of the ID card of the changed table in the ID card information storage library 31 to the file data of the ID card of the target table when the diners change tables.

[0050] In the present invention, according to the change in the number of diners and other factors, there may be a table change during the meal, and the table information conversion module 6 transfers the file data in the ID card information storage library 31 to complete the table change pricing.

[0051] See also Figure 1 , wherein: the checkout module 5 includes a checkout indicator light 51 corresponding to the table, which is off by default when the table is not in use, and lights up when the table is not used for checkout.

[0052] In the present invention, it is convenient to know whether the table is used and the checkout is settled according to the checkout indicator light 51, so as to guide the diners to the empty table and know whether the customers have settled the checkout.

[0053] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and its improved conception within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
