Commodity Registration Terminal Feedback Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In cart point of sales (POS) systems, it can take a long time to register a commodity after it is placed in a shopping cart, making it difficult for users to determine if the registration is in progress.
Innovation Solution
A commodity registration terminal equipped with an imaging device, a display device, and a processor that captures images of the commodity, detects objects, determines the commodity based on the image, and displays a notice indicating that determination processing is in progress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic commodity registration is implemented using AI image recognition, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of time increases due to long registration processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to users by displaying notifications that indicate whether commodity registration is in progress or has been completed. This feedback mechanism reduces user uncertainty and allows users to understand the system status without needing to wait indefinitely, effectively addressing the time loss issue while maintaining ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If automatic commodity registration is implemented using AI image recognition, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases as users cannot determine registration status
Solution Approach 1:
The notification display provides continuous feedback about the registration status, informing users whether the system is processing or has completed commodity registration. This eliminates information loss by keeping users informed about the system state throughout the registration process.

AI summary
According to an embodiment, a commodity registration terminal detects an object on the basis of an image captured by an imaging device. The commodity registration terminal determines a commodity on the basis of an image including the detected object. In addition, the commodity registration terminal causes a display device to display a notice indicating that determination processing is in progress during the determination processing for the commodity.
