Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD Embodiments of the present invention relate to a terminal holder, a sales data processing device, and a fixture. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, so-called cart POS (Point of Sales) systems have become widespread, in which a sales data processing device that accepts product registrations and the like by customers is attached to a shopping cart provided in a store (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, in some cases, a terminal device provided by the store or a portable terminal device such as a smartphone owned by a customer with predetermined application software installed can be used to perform at least some of the functions of the sales data processing device. In the latter case, the smartphone or the like owned by the customer is held in a terminal holder provided in the shopping cart.

[0003] However, some customers visit stores with strollers, silver carts, or other cart-like items. It is thought that it would be difficult for such customers to move around with a shopping cart in addition to the cart-like items they bring with them. For this reason, there is expected to be demand for sales data processing devices and terminal holders that can be used with cart-like items such as strollers and silver carts. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a terminal holder and sales data processing device that can improve the convenience of customers who come to a store with cart-like items such as strollers or silver carts, as well as fixtures for stacking these items. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a state in which a terminal holder 1 is used in the embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing another example of a state in which the terminal holder 1 is used. The terminal holder 1 is attached to a cart-like object such as a stroller 2 or a silver cart, and holds a terminal device 3. The terminal holder 1, together with a reading unit 4, constitutes a sales data processing device 100.

[0008] The reading unit 4 reads information from the appearance of the product and outputs the read information to the terminal device 3. The reading unit 4 also reads and decodes barcodes, two-dimensional codes, etc., and outputs the decoded information to the terminal device 3.

[0009] The terminal device 3 displays information for the customer to register products themselves and accepts operations, and is, for example, a tablet or smartphone type information processing terminal. The terminal device 3 may be provided by the store or may be owned by the customer. When using a customer-owned terminal device 3, for example, the customer can start up a predetermined application software on the terminal device 3 to display a two-dimensional code, and have the reader 4 read this two-dimensional code, thereby associating the reader 4 with the terminal device 3, and thereby making it possible for the terminal device 3 to acquire information output by the reader 4.

[0010] If the reading unit 4 is not necessary, for example, when the terminal device 3 is an information processing terminal with a camera, the sales data processing device 100 may be configured without the reading unit 4. In this case, the terminal holder 1 is configured such that, for example, the hanging part 14 is provided below the clamping part 12 without the reading unit 4 interposed therebetween.

[0011] The stroller 2 is an example of a cart used by customers, and includes a seat 21 (an example of a loading section), a frame 22, a handle 23, wheels 241, 242, and a backrest 25 that supports the back of a child sitting on the seat 21. The frame 22 supports the seat 21 on which the child sits. The handle 23 is a part that a customer holds when operating the stroller 2, and is provided on the upper part of the frame 22. The frame 22 and the handle 23 are formed from rod-shaped or pipe-shaped members. The wheels 241, 242 are provided on the lower end of the frame 22.

[0012] For ease of explanation, a three-dimensional coordinate system is also shown in the drawings. In the three-dimensional coordinate system, the width direction (left-right direction) of the sales data processing device 100 and the stroller 2 is the X-axis direction, the depth direction (front-back direction) is the Y-axis direction, and the height direction (up-down direction) is the Z-axis direction. The positive direction of the Y-axis is the direction from the front to the back of the customer holding the handle 23, and the positive direction of the Y-axis is defined as "forward." The positive direction of the Z-axis is the direction from bottom to top.

[0013] The handle 23 in this embodiment is provided along the width direction of the stroller 2 and connects the left and right frames 22 at the top. A shopping basket 5 (see FIG. 1) or a reusable bag 7 (see FIG. 2) supported by a support bar 6 is hung from the handle 23 using a terminal holder 1.

[0014] Here, the shopping basket 5 is an example of a container, and has a support section 51 and a storage section 52. The support section 51 is a plate-like section that is long in the width direction. The storage section 52 is, for example, a bag made of stretchable fabric. The storage section 52 is provided and connected to the lower side of the support section 51.

[0015] The reusable bag 7 is an example of a container, and is, for example, a bag equipped with a pair of handles 71. The support bar 6 is a plate-like member that is long in the width direction, and has a plurality of recesses 61 on the upper edge for hooking the handles 71. Alternatively, the support bar 6 may be made of a thick, hard wire material formed into a corrugated shape. Any other material that can perform a similar function may be used.

[0016] Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of the appearance of the sales data processing device 100. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing an example of the structure of the terminal holder 1, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view from the rear side. The terminal holder 1 includes a terminal holding portion 11, a clamping portion 12, a battery 13 (see Figs. 4 and 5), and a hanging portion 14.

[0017] The hanging part 14 is provided below the clamping part 12 and holds a container for storing products (shopping basket 5 or reusable bag 7) in a hanging state. More specifically, the hanging part 14 suspends the shopping basket 5 or the support bar 6 by passing through a hole 511 opened in the center of the width of the support part 51 or a hole 611 opened in the center of the width of the support bar 6.

[0018] Hanging part 14 includes hook part 141 and tip part 142. Hook part 141 is a part bent in a substantially J-shape, and holds support part 51 and support bar 6 from both sides when hanging part 14 passes through holes 511 and 611. Tip part 142 is a part that extends substantially in the front-to-rear direction, and is provided to make it easier to pass shopping basket 5 and support bar 6 through holes 511 and 611 when hanging them.

[0019] The battery 13 is built into the housing of the terminal holding part 11. The battery 13 supplies power to the terminal device 3 and the reading part 4. The reading part 4 in this embodiment is bus-powered. The terminal holding part 11 is provided with a contactless power supply part 131 (see FIG. 4) for contactlessly charging the terminal device 3 held in the terminal holding part 11. Contactless charging is performed by a well-known technique. A charging terminal 134 (see FIG. 5) for charging the battery 13 is provided on a side surface of the terminal holding part 11. The charging terminal 134 may be provided on both side surfaces of the terminal holding part 11. Power may be supplied from the battery 13 to the reading part 4 by wire or contactlessly.

[0020] The terminal holding part 11 holds the terminal device 3 and includes edge holders 111 and 112 that hold the left and right edges of the terminal device 3, and an edge holder 113 into which the bottom edge of the terminal device 3 is inserted. The edge holders 111 and 112 are extendable and can accommodate changes in the orientation and dimensions of the terminal device 3. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the terminal holder 1 holding the terminal device 3 with the screen oriented horizontally. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing the terminal holder 1 holding the terminal device 3 with the screen oriented vertically.

[0021] The clamping unit 12 includes an upper part 121 , a lower part 122 , a rotating shaft 123 , knobs 124 and 125 , and a buffer material 126 .

[0022] The upper part 121 and the lower part 122 have a shape like a cylinder divided in half along its axial direction, and when they are joined together they form a cylindrical inner peripheral surface that surrounds and presses the outer peripheral surface of the handle 23.

[0023] Cushioning material 126 is intended to prevent the cylindrical inner circumferential surface formed by joining upper part 121 and lower part 122 from damaging handle 23, and is made of a material that is elastic and can be expected to have an anti-slip effect, such as elastomer (rubber). Cushioning material 126 is attached to the inside of the cylindrical inner circumferential surface formed by joining upper part 121 and lower part 122.

[0024] If the inner diameter of the cylindrical shape formed by joining upper part 121 and lower part 122 is larger than the outer diameter (thickness) of handle 23, an adjuster may be provided instead of cushioning material 126. The adjuster is attached to the inside of the cylindrical shape formed by upper part 121 and lower part 122, and reduces the inner diameter of the cylindrical shape. The cushioning material 126 may be designed to also serve as an adjuster.

[0025] The rotation shaft 123 connects the upper part 121 and the lower part 122 so that one of the upper part 121 and the lower part 122 can rotate relative to the other. The cylindrical shape formed by the upper part 121 and the lower part 122 opens and closes in accordance with the rotation around the rotation shaft 123.

[0026] The clamping unit 12 further includes a built-in biasing member that biases the upper part 121 and the lower part 122 in the rotation direction so that the above-mentioned cylindrical shape closes.

[0027] The knobs 124 and 125 are convex parts that protrude radially from the rotation axis 123. The knobs 124 and 125 are biased by the biasing member described above in a direction in which their tips move away from each other. When a customer or a store clerk applies force to the knobs 124 and 125 against this bias in a direction in which their tips move closer to each other, the upper part 121 and the lower part 122 rotate in a direction in which their cylindrical shapes open (see FIG. 8). FIG. 8 is a side view showing an example of the structure of the terminal holder 1.

[0028] The clamping unit 12 configured in this manner clamps and holds the handle 23 of the stroller 2 in the thickness direction. This allows the clamping unit 12 to detachably attach the terminal holder 1 to the handle 23. Note that if the handle 23 is a pipe-like handle that is long in the width direction, the position at which the terminal holder 1 is attached is preferably near the center in the length direction.

[0029] The clamping unit 12 also functions as an example of a connecting unit. That is, the clamping unit 12 connects the terminal holding unit 11 and the hanging unit 14 at a predetermined angle (for example, 45°) so that the display direction of information on the terminal device 3 held in the terminal holding unit 11 faces diagonally upward when the hanging unit 14 is hanging a container (shopping basket 5 or my bag 7) (see FIG. 9). FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the orientation of the screen of the terminal device 3 held in the terminal holder 1. This makes it easier to view information on the terminal device 3 held in the terminal holder 1, and also maintains good operability of the terminal device 3.

[0030] Furthermore, in the sales data processing device 100 of this embodiment, a reading unit 4 is provided between the clamping unit 12 and the hanging unit 14. The reading unit 4 has a built-in imaging element and a reading window that captures light into the imaging element. The reading window faces the customer holding the handle 23 when a container is suspended from the hanging unit 14. In other words, when the terminal holding unit 11 is attached to the handle 23 of the stroller 2 by the clamping unit 12 and a shopping basket 5 or the like is suspended from the hanging unit 14, the reading window of the reading unit 4 faces the customer pushing the stroller 2. The customer holds the product over the reading window to have the reading unit 4 read the product information.

[0031] Next, we will explain the position of the center of gravity of the container hung by the hanging part 14. Fig. 10 is a diagram explaining the position of the center of gravity of the shopping basket 5 hung by the hanging part 14. Fig. 11 is a diagram explaining the position of the center of gravity of the reusable bag hung by the hanging part 14.

[0032] First, the handle 23 of a cart-like object such as the stroller 2 is often designed to fit within the area surrounded by the wheels 241, 242 in a plan view in order to prevent the stroller 2 from tipping over due to the load acting on the handle 23. Similarly, when hanging luggage from the handle 23, it is preferable that the center of gravity of the luggage be located within the area surrounded by the wheels 241, 242 in order to prevent the stroller 2 from tipping over. Therefore, for example, if the handle 23 is provided behind the seat 21 as in this embodiment, the stroller 2 will not tip over backward if the center of gravity of the handle 23 and the hanging luggage are located forward of the rear wheels 242.

[0033] Here, if the sales data processing device 100 and the terminal holder 1 are attached to the handle 23, and the center of gravity of the shopping basket 5 or the like suspended from the suspension part 14 is located behind the rear wheels 242, there is a risk that the stroller 2 may tip over when the load is removed from the seat 21. To avoid such inconvenience, it is desirable that the center of gravity of the shopping basket 5 or the like be located forward of the rear wheels 242. For this reason, the terminal holder 1 of this embodiment has the structure described below.

[0034] 10 and 11, the dashed-dotted line A is a vertical line passing through the axis of the handle 23 held by the clamping unit 12. The dashed-dotted line B is a vertical line passing through the center of gravity of the container. As shown in these figures, the center of gravity (dashed-dotted line B) of the container (shopping basket 5, reusable bag 7) in each example is located forward of the handle 23. Such a center of gravity position can be achieved by arranging the hook portion 141 of the hanging portion 14 behind the reading unit 4.

[0035] 10, the support part 51 of the shopping basket 5 is bent forward (in the positive direction of the Y axis) from the part hooked and held by the hanging part 14 downwards. As a result, the center of gravity of the shopping basket 5 (shown by the dashed line B in FIG. 10) is positioned further forward.

[0036] For comparison with this embodiment, a hypothetical shopping basket in which the support portion 51 of the shopping basket 5 is flat will be considered. The center of gravity of this hypothetical shopping basket is thought to be located closer to the dashed-dotted line A passing through the axis of the handle 23 than that of this embodiment. Furthermore, the center of gravity of the hypothetical shopping basket may be located behind the dashed-dotted line A depending on the shape of the storage compartment and the storage position of the products, etc.

[0037] Compared to the virtual shopping basket described above, in the shopping basket 5 of this embodiment, the curved shape of the support portion 51 causes the center of gravity to be located forward of the vertically downward direction of the clamping portion 12 and the hanging portion 14. When products are packed into the shopping basket 5 hanging from the handle 23, the center of gravity position shifts slightly from when the shopping basket 5 is empty, but it is unlikely to be located behind the dash-dotted line A. Therefore, the shopping basket 5 of this embodiment makes it easier to prevent the stroller 2 from tipping over due to the products packed inside.

[0038] It is also possible to place a weight 55 (see FIG. 10) in the storage section 52 of the shopping basket 5 so that the center of gravity is kept forward of the handle 23 even after the basket is filled with products. Furthermore, by providing the weight 55 near the bottom of the storage section 52, the center of gravity of the storage section 52 alone can be positioned lower. This makes it easier for the storage section 52 to return to its original position even if it swings back and forth.

[0039] Furthermore, the hanging part 14 may be formed so that the hook part 141 is positioned further back (front) than in the illustrated state. In other words, the portion of the hanging part 14 above the hook part 141 may be shaped to bend forward (positive direction of the Y axis) like the support part 51 of the shopping basket 5 described above. With this configuration, for example, in the example of the reusable bag 7 shown in FIG. 11, the center of gravity of the reusable bag 7, indicated by the dashed dotted line B, can be positioned further forward, just like the shopping basket 5.

[0040] Next, considerations for preventing theft of the terminal device 3 loaned from a store will be described. Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the terminal holder 1 equipped with a member (fixing part 114) that prevents theft of the terminal device 3, and Fig. 13 is a perspective view from the rear side. As shown in these figures, the terminal holder 1 may further be equipped with the fixing part 114. The fixing part 114 is attached to the terminal holding part 11 by screwing or the like, and presses down on the upper edge of the terminal device 3.

[0041] When the terminal device 3 is rented from a store, it is placed in a predetermined location in the store while fixed to the terminal holding part 11. Therefore, if the terminal device 3 is easily removable from the terminal holding part 11, there is a risk that the customer may take it home. For this reason, by providing a fixing part 114 that requires a tool such as a screwdriver to remove it from the terminal holding part 11, it is possible to make theft more difficult.

[0042] Next, stacking of the terminal holders 1 and charging of the battery 13 will be described. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a fixture 8 for stacking and charging the terminal holders 1. Fig. 15 is a diagram showing the state of the fixture 8 with the terminal holders 1 stacked. Fig. 16 is a diagram showing how the terminal holders 1 are stacked using the fixture 8.

[0043] The fixture 8 is installed in a predetermined location in the store and holds multiple terminal holders 1 (or sales data processing devices 100) in a stacked state. The fixture 8 is also connected to a power source, and uses the power from the power source to charge the batteries 13 provided in the terminal holders 1 (or sales data processing devices 100) in the stack.

[0044] The fixture 8 includes a hook 81, a frame 82, and a base 83. The frame 82 is gate-shaped with beams attached to the upper ends of the left and right pillars. The base 83 keeps the left and right pillars of the frame 82 standing approximately vertically.

[0045] A plurality of hooks 81 are attached to the beams of the frame 82. The hooks 81 each have a support portion 811, a tip portion 812, a power supply portion 813, and a power supply terminal 814.

[0046] The support portion 811 is a portion that hooks and holds the terminal holder 1, and penetrates the approximately cylindrical space formed by the clamping portion 12 for clamping the handle 23. Here, the frame 82 side of the support portion 811 is the base. The tip portion 812 is the portion of the support portion 811 opposite the base. The support portion 811 and the tip portion 812 form a bent rod shape, and the portion that runs approximately horizontally from the bent portion to the base is the support portion 811, and the portion that slopes diagonally upward from the bent portion to the tip is the tip portion 812.

[0047] When the tip portion 812 of the terminal holder 1 is inserted into the substantially cylindrical space formed by the clamping portion 12, the terminal holder 1 slides diagonally downward along the tip portion 812 and stabilizes on the support portion 811. In this state, the terminal holder 1 is in contact with the base of the support portion 811 and stabilizes.

[0048] Each hook 81 has a power supply unit 813 at its base. The power supply unit 813 receives power from a power source connected to the fixture 8 and supplies it to a power supply terminal 814. The power supply terminal 814 comes into contact with the charging terminal 134 of the terminal holder 1 to supply power to the battery 13.

[0049] 17 is a diagram showing an example of a connection state between the charging terminal 134 of the terminal holder 1 and the power supply terminal 814 of the fixture 8. The power supply terminal 814 is provided around the base of the hook 81 and is flat, for example, semicircular (or fan-shaped). This shape is an example of a shape that at least partially includes a virtual movement path of the charging terminal 134 when the terminal holder 1 held by the hook 81 rotates around the clamping part 12. Note that the power supply terminal 814 may be circular (or annular).

[0050] The center of gravity of the terminal holder 1 differs depending on whether or not it is holding a terminal device 3. When the terminal holder 1 is hooked and held by the hook 81, the position of the charging terminal 134 differs depending on the position of the center of gravity of the terminal holder 1. As described above, the position of the charging terminal 134 is unlikely to be constant, but since the power supply terminal 814 of this embodiment has the shape described above, it is possible to connect the charging terminal 134 and the power supply terminal 814 without any problems.

[0051] Furthermore, even when the terminal holder 1, in which the charging terminals 134 are provided on both sides of the terminal holding portion 11, is hooked and held by the hook 81 in the opposite direction to the state shown in the figure, the contact position of the charging terminal 134 with respect to the power supply terminal 814 will be different. Even in this case, the power supply terminal 814 of this embodiment can be connected to the charging terminal 134 without any problems.

[0052] Furthermore, power supply terminal 814 (or power supply unit 813) is configured to include a magnet. Charging terminal 134 is formed from a material that is attracted to a magnet. This increases the reliability of the connection between charging terminal 134 of terminal holder 1, which slides along tip portion 812, and power supply terminal 814.

[0053] In this way, the terminal holder 1, sales data processing device 100, and fixtures 8 for stacking these in this embodiment can improve convenience for customers who come to the store with cart-like items such as strollers 2 or silver carts.

[0054] The terminal holder 1 as described above may be attached to the handle of a cart or a basket cart, for example. Such a usage form is considered to be convenient, as it improves workability in inventory taking, for example.

[0055] Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, modifications, and combinations can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
