Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a store unmanned sales management method in the case of using a case that is installed in a store and storing the product in a cassette for protection.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of unmanned sales, there are many vending machine types, and there is a problem in selling fish and meat. Was lacking in.

[0003]

The problem to be solved by the prior art, which lacks the selectivity for confirming the freshness of a product and selecting the product, is addressed by the present invention.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a tray-packed product is stored in a transparent cassette so that the freshness and the like can be confirmed by picking up the product and further locking. By being protected by, it can be displayed in any manner on the case.

Next, regarding the settlement method in the case of selling a product in this product cassette, the present invention gives an identification code to the cassette and pays the price corresponding to this identification code in the storage area of the price storage unit before display. I memorized and put it. Further, as a settlement means, when a customer purchases a product, the customer needs to take out the product from the cassette, but if the settlement is not made, the cassette is not unlocked. In other words, as a method of making a payment, confirmation of the amount of payment for the payment is made. As the confirmation method, it is possible to confirm the settlement by reading the stored price information and comparing it with the input amount information. That is, the cassette identification code is a settlement means provided for operating input / output of price comparison information.

Next, there is a case where the product cassette is taken out of the store as it is. As a means for preventing this, the cassette is provided with a transmitter, and the receiver for receiving the signal is provided in the precise calculation gate, and it is sensed when the cassette is taken out and the exit door is operated so that it cannot be opened. .

[0007]

[Function] In the unmanned store system where the user directly picks up the product and sells it, protecting the product in a transparent cassette is convenient for the customer when checking the freshness of the product, and the product tray By storing it in a cassette in accordance with the above, there is no limitation in the type and number of products displayed, and it is rational as a product management means for unmanned stores.

Further, since the customer is unattended in the store, fraud is likely to occur, and the method for preventing it is difficult. However, the present invention is not applicable to the case of purchase acceptance set as a condition for unlocking the cassette. Since the payment information is read by operating the identification code, it is possible to easily compare and confirm the payment information with respect to the product.

Further, since the signal from the transmitter provided in the cassette is sensed by the receiving gate when the cassette is taken out of the store illegally, this action is also prevented.

[0010]

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, the product cassette 1 is provided with 12 locks made of a material that is transparent and can withstand the storage of products, and further includes a transmitter 1.
3 is provided. Further, a code for identifying each cassette is added to the cassette to operate the address of the price storage unit 5. As an example, when the product is stored in a cassette, locked, and the identification code 11 is read by the scanner 2,
The memory area corresponding to the code is selected by the address operating unit 4 and the price information is stored as a settlement means.
In this way, the product is freely displayed in the canister case by taking measures to prevent shoplifting.

Further, the cassette selected by the customer is
When the cassette is set at a fixed position by the purchase acceptance device 18, the reader 8 faces the identification code 11 and the unlocking unit 9 faces the locking unit 12, and when the identification code is read, the storage area corresponding to the identification code 11 is read. Price information is read out and set in the comparison processing unit 6 as comparison information.
Further, the comparison device 6 compares and calculates the payment information input to the settlement device 7 by the customer and the payment information.
If the result is satisfied, an unlocking permission signal is input from the circuit C to the unlocking unit 9 to operate the unlocking operation unit 10.

The unlocking operation section 10 unlocks the locking section 12 mounted inside the cassette by a strong magnetic force such as an electromagnet. When the product cassette is unlocked, the product cassette is sent from the receiving device 18 and released so that the product can be taken out. FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the store, but the customer enters the store in the direction of the arrow and freely selects the product cassette displayed on Syoke's AB, decides to purchase it, and sets the cassette in the reception device 18. Cash payment device 7
, The amount of money to be inserted is displayed, and the product can be taken out from the unlocked cassette after being calculated and compared with the price of the product displayed by the cassette receptionist to pay the change and the like.

The above description is for the case of single item reception. However, when receiving a plurality of cassettes, the reception apparatus subtracts the insertion amount by previously inserting an amount commensurate with the total reception amount. In comparison, the cassette is unlocked next time, and when the amount of money input is insufficient, the unlocking of the cassette is stopped.

If the customer illegally opens the store without paying for it, the reception signal of the cassette is detected by the reception gate 15 and the rotation of the revolving door 16 is stopped, so that the customer cannot open the store. The state is recorded by the surveillance camera.

Further, the present invention is an unmanned system for utilizing the store at night and on holidays, and the switching is performed by the unmanned store partition section 14. The chow case ABCD is partitioned by the partition section 14 and is a CD.
The use of the case is prohibited, and the AB case is used for night and holidays.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] When unmanning a store, it is necessary to install a vending machine or to remodel the store. However, in the present invention, the conventional yo-yo case can be used as it is to sell the product. It has a feature that it can be displayed, and because it is a method of letting customers freely select and display the displayed goods to check the freshness etc. and showing it to the customer, it is possible to return the goods freely before payment ing. Further, in the case of selling fresh foods in a vending machine type, there is a limitation in the type of product and mechanical complexity makes it impossible to unmanner this type. The means solves this point and simplifies the purchasing procedure, and has the effect of meeting the customer's purchasing wishes.

Further, since it has a feature that any kind of merchandise other than the tray-packed merchandise can be stored in the cassette, it is economical in terms of equipment and it is convenient for customers. , The convenience of being able to pick up a product with a handle in hand and select it.
