Abstract

The trolley return system has an electromagnetic locking device (3), for securing the trolleys (1) at a trolley parking bay, linked to an electronic scanner (4) for a customer identification card (5) attached to the trolley. The locking device is released for removal of the trolley by verification of the customer identification card and entering of the customer information in a memory, with subsequent erasure of the customer information only when the trolley is correctly returned.

Description

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung handelt es sich um ein Einkaufswagen-Rückführ­ system, das prinzipiell elektronischen Funktionsmerkmalen unterliegt und im Verbund mit elektromechanischen Komponenten eine Problemlösung ergibt, die insbesondere für soge­ nannte Wiederverkaufs-SB-Märkte prädestiniert ist.The device according to the invention is a shopping trolley return system that is principally subject to electronic functional features and in association with electromechanical components results in a problem solution, especially for so-called reseller hypermarkets is predestined.

In derartigen SB-Märkten unterliegt der Einkauf bzw. Einkaufsberechtigung einer persönlichen Identifikation, die über einen, u. a. elektronisch lesbaren, Ausweis (Fig. III) nachzuweisen ist. Das Prinzip der Erfindung stützt sich auf diese Voraussetzungen und sieht folgenden Ablauf im Verbund mit technischen Zusatzeinrichtungen vor.In such self-service markets, the purchase or purchase authorization is subject to personal identification, which must be proven by means of an, among other things, electronically readable ID ( Fig. III). The principle of the invention is based on these prerequisites and provides the following sequence in conjunction with additional technical devices.

Die Einkaufswagen-Parkstationen (Fig. I/II) sind am EIN bzw. AUSGANG mit mechanischen, aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannten, beispielsweise Drehkreuzsperren (3) ausge­ stattet - diese Sperren (3) sind in Einkaufswagen-Entnahmeeinrichtungen verriegelt - die zur Einkaufswagenentnahme (Benutzung) erforderliche Aufhebung der Verriegelung kann nur über einen in der Einkaufswagen-Parkstation integrierten Scanner (4) erreicht werden - die Scanner- Aktivierung wiederum ist nur mit der elektronisch lesbaren Ausweiskarte (Fig. III) herstellbar. Besagter Scanner (4) ist an das Verbundnetz der Kundenidentifikation und Warenabrechnung integriert und registriert die Einkaufswagen-Entnahme des spezifischen Kunden "x". Bringt der Kunde "x" seinen Einkaufswagen (1) nach erfolgtem Einkauf in die Einkaufswagen-Park­ station (Fig. I/II) zurück und bestätigt diesen Vorgang durch Identifikation mit der Ausweis­ karte (Fig. III) im Verbund mit dem Einkaufswagen (1) (Fig. IV), wird der Vorgang im Zentralrechner registriert und gelöscht. Im Unterlassungsfall (Einkaufswagen (1) wird im Außenbereich stehengelassen) bleibt dieser Vorgang registriert und die Warenabrechnung des spezifischen Kunden "x" wird beim "nächsten Einkauf" automatisch mit einer "Einkaufs­ wagen-Rückholgebühr" beliebiger Höhe - beispielsweise DM 2,-/DM 5,- automatisch beaufschlagt. The shopping trolley parking stations (Fig. I / II) are equipped at the ON or output with mechanical, known well in the prior art, for example hub locks (3) is - these locks (3) are locked into cart pickup devices - which for Removal of the shopping trolley (use) required to unlock the lock can only be achieved via a scanner ( 4 ) integrated in the shopping trolley parking station - the scanner activation in turn can only be produced with the electronically readable identification card ( Fig. III). Said scanner ( 4 ) is integrated into the network of customer identification and goods accounting and registers the removal of the shopping cart from the specific customer "x". If the customer "x" brings his shopping cart ( 1 ) back to the shopping cart parking station ( Fig. I / II) after completing the purchase and confirms this process by identification with the ID card ( Fig. III) in conjunction with the shopping cart ( 1 ) ( Fig. IV), the process is registered in the central computer and deleted. In the event of omission (shopping cart ( 1 ) is left outside), this process remains registered and the invoice for the specific customer "x" is automatically "next shopping" with a "shopping cart return fee" of any amount - for example DM 2, - / DM 5, - charged automatically.

Der Sinn und Zweck der Einrichtung ist in praktikabler Form hergestellt, denn der einkaufende Kunde hat die freie Entscheidung den Einkaufswagen (1) kostenfrei selbst zurückzubringen oder diese Dienstleistung an Dritte zu delegieren und in angemessener Form zu honorieren.The purpose of the facility is made in a practicable form, because the purchasing customer has the free decision to return the shopping cart ( 1 ) free of charge or to delegate this service to third parties and to reward it in an appropriate form.

Funktionfunction

Die Funktion der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen ist einfach und beschränkt sich auf wenige Komponenten, insbesondere deshalb, weil wesentliche Funktionsbestandteile aus dem Stand der Technik sowie der einschlägigen Praxis Verwendung finden.The function of the devices according to the invention is simple and is limited to a few Components, in particular because essential functional components from the state technology as well as relevant practice.

Insoweit ergibt sich folgender FUNKTIONSABLAUF (in Kurzform), der bereits weitgehendst in der Beschreibung definiert ist:In this respect, the following FUNCTIONAL SEQUENCE (in short form) results that already is largely defined in the description:

  • - die am EIN-AUSGANG einer Einkaufswagen-Parkstation (Fig. I/II) angebrachte konventionelle Sperre (3) wird ausschließlich dann gelöst, wenn ein mit dieser in Wirkverbindung stehenden Scanner (4) ein entsprechendes Freigabesignal abgibt.- The conventional lock ( 3 ) attached to the IN-EXIT of a shopping trolley parking station ( Fig. I / II) is only released when a scanner ( 4 ) that is connected to it issues a corresponding release signal.
  • - Dieses Freigabesignal wird hergestellt über einen allgemeinen Signalgeber (8) an der Haltevorrichtung (6) montiert am Einkaufswagen (1) in Kombination mit speziellen Signalgebern (7) in Form von einem benutzerspezifischen Kundenausweis (5) (Fig. III), demzufolge wird die Einkaufswagen-Entnahme kundenspezifisch über einen ent­ sprechenden Netzverbund im Datenspeicher (Zentralrechner) des SB-Marktes registriert und gespeichert- This release signal is produced via a general signal transmitter ( 8 ) on the holding device ( 6 ) mounted on the shopping cart ( 1 ) in combination with special signal transmitters ( 7 ) in the form of a user-specific customer ID card ( 5 ) ( Fig. III), accordingly Shopping cart removal is registered and stored in a customer-specific manner via a corresponding network in the data store (central computer) of the self-service market
  • - Nach erfolgtem Einkauf wird der Einkaufswagen (1) in die Parkstation (2) zurück­ geführt analog zur Entnahme registriert der Scanner (4) den Vorgang über das kombinierte Signal (Einkaufswagen und Ausweiskarte) und löscht die zuvor ge­ speicherten spezifischen Daten - der Vorgang ist abgeschlossen.- After successful shopping, the shopping cart ( 1 ) is returned to the parking station ( 2 ) analogous to the removal, the scanner ( 4 ) registers the process via the combined signal (shopping cart and ID card) and deletes the previously saved specific data - the process is completed.
  • - Bei systemwidrigen Verhalten (Einkaufswagen (1) wird nicht zurückgebracht und bean­ sprucht für diesen den geordneten Ablauf sichernden Vorgang die Inanspruchnahme Dritter erfolgt systemkonform keine Löschung der Kundendaten - der Kunde bleibt registriert und wird bei seinem nächsten Einkauf mit einer Gebühr (beliebig festigbare Höhe) belastet - diese wird in einfacher Form der aktuellen Warenabrechnung zuge­ schlagen. - In the event of behavior contrary to the system (shopping cart ( 1 ) is not returned and claims for this process that ensures the orderly process, third parties are used in accordance with the system, no deletion of customer data - the customer remains registered and will be charged the next time he purchases with a fee (amount that can be fixed) debited - this is simply added to the current goods invoice.
  • - Die stationären Einrichtungen, Scanner (4) und elektromagnetische Sperrmechanik (3), werden entweder über autarke Energiequellen oder über Netzanschluß mit der erforderlichen Energie versorgt.- The stationary devices, scanners ( 4 ) and electromagnetic locking mechanism ( 3 ) are supplied with the required energy either via self-sufficient energy sources or via a mains connection.
