Description
Barcodestift mit Tongeber zum Zusammenstellen und Aufgeben einer telefonischen BestellungBarcode pen with sound generator for assembling and placing a telephone order
Barcode-Lesegeräte üblicher Bauart sind als stationäres System, oder als tragbares Gerät in Pistolen- oder Stiftform (Barcodestift) ausgeführt. Bei Lesegeräten in Stiftform ist es notwendig, über das Barcode-Label hinwegzufahren. Das eingelesene Barcode-Wort wird entweder gleich weiterverarbeitet (Beispiel Registrierkasse in Kaufhäusern) oder in einem Zwischenspeicher abgelegt, um später im Ganzen ausgelesen zu werden (Geräte zur Erfassung von Warenbeständen). In beiden Fällen werden die Daten jedoch drahtgebunden weitergegeben.Barcode readers of the usual design are designed as stationary systems or as portable devices in the form of a pistol or pen (barcode pen). With pen-shaped readers, it is necessary to move over the barcode label. The barcode word read is either processed immediately (for example, cash registers in department stores) or stored in a buffer to be read out later in its entirety (devices for recording inventory). In both cases, however, the data is passed on via wire.
Zum Aufgeben einer Warenbestellung per Telefon ist es notwendig, die gewünschten Artikel entweder mühsam per Hand zu notieren, oder sich der Hilfe eines modernen Kommunikationsgerätes wie Telefax oder PCs zu bedienen. Gerade ältere Menschen haben jedoch oft Schwierigkeiten diese Geräte zu bedienen.To place an order by telephone, it is necessary to either laboriously write down the desired items by hand or to use a modern communication device such as a fax or PC. However, older people in particular often have difficulty using these devices.
Der in Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, daß es zwar möglich wäre, mit Hilfe eines Barcode-Lesegerätes Artikel für eine Bestellung aus einem mit Barcode versehenen Katalog einzulesen und in einem Zwischenspeicher zu sammeln, allerdings ist es (auch gerade für ältere Menschen) nur schwierig möglich, diese Daten auszulesen und per Telefon zu übertragen.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem that although it would be possible to use a barcode reader to read articles for an order from a catalogue provided with a barcode and to collect them in a buffer, it is difficult (especially for older people) to read this data and transmit it by telephone.
Dieses Problem wird mit den in Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst, indem in einem Barcodestift ein Tongeber (3) mit dem Datenspeicher (2) verbunden ist und Daten aus dem Speicher (2) abrufen kann, und daß der Tongeber (3) diese Daten als akustische Signale ausgeben kann.This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1 in that a sound generator (3) in a barcode pen is connected to the data memory (2) and can retrieve data from the memory (2), and that the sound generator (3) can output these data as acoustic signals.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß ohne technischen Aufwand und Kenntnisse mit Hilfe eines Barcode-Lesegerätes Artikel aus einem Katalog erfaßt und gespeichert werden. Anschließend kann die ausgewählte Ware bestellt werden, indem die Daten als akustische Signale über Telefon an den Lieferanten übermittelt werden.The invention enables articles from a catalogue to be recorded and stored using a barcode reader without any technical effort or knowledge. The selected goods can then be ordered by transmitting the data to the supplier as acoustic signals over the telephone.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Figur 1 erläutert. Es zeigt:An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to Figure 1. It shows:
Fig. 1 Querschnitt durch ein Barcode-Lesegerät in Stiftform (Barcodestift)Fig. 1 Cross section of a barcode reader in pen form (barcode pen)
In der Figur ist die Barcode-Leseeinheit (1), der elektronische Speicher (2) und der Tongeber (3) dargestellt.The figure shows the barcode reading unit (1), the electronic memory (2) and the tone generator (3).
Die Barcode-Daten werden optisch von der Barcode-Leseeinheit eingelesen und an den Speicher (2) weitergegeben. Nach der Aufnahme aller Daten werden diese im Ganzen an den Tongeber, (3) weitergereicht. Dieser gibt die Daten als akustische Signale, zum Beispiel als Tonfolgen aus. Wird der Tongeber zu diesen Zeitpunkt an die Sprechmuschel eines Telefongerätes gebracht, so können diese Signale über die Telefonverbindung übertragen werden. Auf der Lieferantenseite ist ein Gerät notwendig, das diese Daten lesen und weiterverarbeiten kann.The barcode data is read optically by the barcode reader and passed on to the memory (2). After all the data has been recorded, it is passed on in its entirety to the tone generator (3). This outputs the data as acoustic signals, for example as a sequence of tones. If the tone generator is placed on the mouthpiece of a telephone at this time, these signals can be transmitted via the telephone connection. On the supplier side, a device is required that can read and process this data.
