Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de gestion d'un point de vente d'une organisation commerciale, ce dispositif comportant une caisse enregistreuse équipée d'un tiroir-caisse associé à un clavier de saisie de données relatives à des articles vendus audit point de vente et achetés par un client, et un écran d'affichage de ces données et/ou de données complémentaires.The present invention relates to a point of sale management device of a commercial organization, this device comprising a box register equipped with a cash drawer associated with a keyboard input data relating to items sold at that point of sale and purchased by a client, and a display screen for this data and / or data complementary.

Les organisations commerciales, notamment les boutiques, les magasins, les kiosques et, de manière générale, tous les points de vente publics sont équipés d'au moins une caisse de sortie, dite caisse enregistreuse, qui comporte habituellement au moins un tiroir-caisse. Les machines de ce type sont pourvues, pour la plupart d'entre elles, d'un écran d'affichage et d'un clavier. Pour des raisons de commodité, le clavier est souvent intégré à l'écran qui est du type écran tactile.Commercial organizations, including shops, stores, kiosks and, in general, all public points of sale are equipped at least one cash register, which includes usually at least one cash drawer. Machines of this type are Most of them have a display screen and a keyboard. For convenience, the keyboard is often integrated with the screen that is touch screen type.

La caisse constitue un passage obligatoire et souvent une zone d'attente encombrée pour les clients qui attendent leur tour. C'est l'endroit idéal pour disposer des objets ou des affiches publicitaires qui permettent de capter l'attention des clients, étant donné que pendant cette attente les clients sont réceptifs et non distraits par d'autres préoccupations.The cash register is a mandatory passage and often a waiting area cluttered for customers waiting their turn. This is the perfect place to have objects or advertising posters that capture the attention of the customers, since during this waiting time the customers are receptive and not distracted by other concerns.

Les affiches publicitaires statiques n'ont qu'un impact mineur. En outre, la surface disponible au voisinage de la caisse enregistreuse est petite et souvent encombrée par des présentoirs de produits correspondant à des achats dits de dernière minute, tels que des confiseries par exemple. Pourtant, on sait que la publicité directe sur le point de vente correspond à une recherche constante de toute organisation commerciale et nombre de solutions ont été proposées pour répondre à cette demande. Static advertising posters have only a minor impact. In addition, the available area in the vicinity of the cash register is small and often cluttered by displays of products corresponding to so-called last minute, such as confectionery for example. Yet we know that the point-of-sale advertising is a constant search for any commercial organization and number of solutions have been proposed for respond to this request.

Parmi ces solutions, on peut par exemple citer les grands écrans suspendus dans les allées des grandes surfaces. Leur impact est faible parce qu'ils sont placés en hauteur et que, au cours de leur cheminement dans les allées d'une grande surface, les clients ne s'arrêtent pas pour regarder les séquences publicitaires diffusées par ces panneaux.These solutions include, for example, large suspended screens in the aisles of supermarkets. Their impact is low because they are placed in height and that, during their journey in the alleys of a large area, customers do not stop to watch the sequences advertising by these panels.

Les autres solutions classiques telles que les consoles ou les supports d'affiches sont encombrants et dérangent les clients qui recherchent une libre circulation au niveau des caisses.Other classic solutions such as consoles or media posters are cumbersome and bother customers looking for a free circulation at the crates.

En conclusion, il n'existe actuellement aucun moyen efficace permettant de diffuser de la publicité directement sur le point de vente, aux abords des caisses enregistreuses sans encombrer l'espace disponible et sans gêner la libre circulation des clients.In conclusion, there is currently no effective way to advertise directly at the point of sale, around the cash registers without encumbering the available space and without hindering the free movement of customers.

Le but de la présente invention consiste à combler cette lacune en offrant un dispositif capable de remplir les fonctions habituelles de caisse enregistreuse tout en diffusant des messages publicitaires ou de l'information pour la clientèle aux abords de la caisse de sortie d'un point de vente, sans pour autant occuper un espace indispensable pour la bonne marche de ce point de vente et sans indisposer les clients.The purpose of the present invention is to fill this gap by offering a device capable of performing the usual functions of cash register while broadcasting commercials or information for the customers at the outlet of a point of sale, without to occupy an indispensable space for the smooth running of this point of sale and without indisposing customers.

Ce but est atteint par le dispositif de gestion d'un point de vente selon l'invention tel que défini en préambule et caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un ordinateur agencé pour piloter ledit écran d'affichage des données relatives aux articles vendus audit point de vente et achetés par le client et/ou de données complémentaires, et en ce que ledit ordinateur est équipé d'un deuxième écran agencé pour diffuser des spots publicitaires et/ou des informations internes ou externes à l'organisation commerciale.This goal is achieved by the management system of a point of sale according to the invention as defined in the preamble and characterized in that it comprises less a computer arranged to drive said data display screen items sold at the point of sale and purchased by the customer and / or complementary data, and in that said computer is equipped with a second screen arranged to broadcast commercials and / or internal or external information to the sales organization.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, ledit ordinateur est associé à des moyens agencés pour recevoir lesdits spots publicitaires et ou lesdites informations internes ou externes à l'organisation commerciale en ligne via Internet.According to an advantageous embodiment, said computer is associated with means arranged to receive said advertising spots and / or said internal or external information to the online sales organization via Internet.

D'une manière préférentielle, le dispositif comporte un dispositif de commande du tiroir-caisse, ce dispositif de commande étant connecté entre ledit ordinateur et ledit tiroir-caisse.In a preferred manner, the device comprises a control device of the cash drawer, this control device being connected between said computer and said cash drawer.

Le dispositif comporte avantageusement une imprimante de tickets de caisse ainsi qu'un lecteur d'identification des produits.The device advantageously comprises a receipt printer as well as a product identification reader.

De façon préférentielle, ledit deuxième écran est agencé pour afficher successivement ou simultanément des données relatives aux produits achetés et des spots publicitaires.Preferably, said second screen is arranged to display successively or simultaneously data relating to the products purchased and commercials.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux, le dispositif est agencé pour transmettre des données relatives aux produits achetés vers une banque de données. Cette banque de données peut être interne ou externe au point de vente.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the device is arranged to transmit data relating to the purchased products to a data bank. This database may be internal or external to point of sale.

De façon préférée, le dispositif de commande du tiroir-caisse est directement piloté par ledit ordinateur en fonction de données saisies au moyen du clavier.Preferably, the control device of the cash drawer is directly driven by said computer according to data entered by means of the keyboard.

La présente invention et ses avantages seront mieux compris à la lecture de la description détaillée d'une forme de réalisation préférée du dispositif de l'invention, en référence aux dessins annexés donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif, dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique représentant une forme de réalisation avantageuse du dispositif de gestion d'un point de vente selon l'invention, et

L'ordinateur standard 15 est également connecté à des moyens tels qu'un modem 17 qui permet par exemple de recevoir en ligne, notamment par Internet, des fichiers correspondant auxdits spots publicitaires et/ou auxdites informations internes ou externes à l'organisation commerciale et destinés à être diffusés sur ledit deuxième écran d'affichage 16.The standard computer 15 is also connected to means such as a modem 17 which allows for example to receive online, including by Internet, files corresponding to said advertising spots and / or internal or external information to the sales organization and intended to broadcast on said second display screen 16.

La caisse enregistreuse 11 est également reliée à un dispositif de commande 18 du tiroir-caisse, ce dispositif étant connecté d'une part à l'ordinateur standard 15 et d'autre part au tiroir-caisse 12, à une imprimante de tickets 19 ainsi qu'à un lecteur 20 d'identification des produits, par exemple un lecteur optique de codes à barres ou similaire, par exemple un détecteur de signaux de fréquence radio émis par des puces électroniques d'identification de produits mis en vente au point de vente.The cash register 11 is also connected to a control device 18 of the cash drawer, this device being connected on the one hand to the computer standard 15 and secondly to the cash drawer 12, to a ticket printer 19 as well as to a product identification reader 20, for example a reader bar code optics or the like, for example a signal detector of Radio frequency issued by product identification chips put up for sale at the point of sale.

L'ordinateur standard 15 est pourvu de deux cartes graphiques lui permettant de gérer les deux écrans 14 et 16. Le clavier 13 peut être un clavier standard ou, de préférence un clavier tactile programmable dont on peut modifier le libellé des touches en fonction des besoins ou des applications. The standard computer 15 is provided with two graphics cards allowing it to manage the two screens 14 and 16. The keyboard 13 may be a standard keyboard or, preferably, a programmable touch keyboard whose key labels according to needs or applications.

Au moment du passage du client à la caisse enregistreuse, les articles sont identifiés au moyen du lecteur 20 de code à barres ou similaire. La saisie des données se fait habituellement de manière manuelle au moyen du clavier 13 du tiroir-caisse 12. Ces données sont transmises à l'ordinateur 15 qui comporte une banque de données interne ou via cet ordinateur vers un serveur central installé au point de vente ou encore vers une banque de données externe. L'écran 14 affiche les données relatives à l'achat effectué par le client, notamment le prix unitaire des produits, la quantité, le prix total, la nature des produits etc. Une partie au moins des informations relatives à l'achat est également affichée sur l'écran 16 orienté vers l'acheteur. Ces informations peuvent apparaítre simultanément ou de façon décalée par rapport aux spots publicitaires diffusés par l'écran 16.At the time of the customer's move to the cash register, the items are identified by means of the bar code reader or the like. The seizure of data is usually done manually using the keyboard 13 of the 12. This data is transmitted to the computer 15 which comprises an internal databank or via this computer to a central server installed at the point of sale or to an external database. The screen 14 displays the data relating to the purchase made by the customer, in particular the unit price of the products, the quantity, the total price, the nature of the products etc. At least part of the information relating to the purchase is also displayed on the buyer-oriented screen 16. These informations may appear simultaneously or in an offset manner from the spots advertisements broadcast by the screen 16.

Les opérations relatives au paiement se déroulent de manière classique. La caissière saisit par exemple le type de paiement, chèque bancaire, carte de crédit, espèces. L'ordinateur 15 commande, le cas échéant l'ouverture du tiroir-caisse 12 par l'intermédiaire du dispositif de commande 18. En outre, il commande l'impression du ticket de caisse ou de la facture du client. Enfin, il transmet les données vers la banque de données interne ou externe, ce qui lui permet de procéder à la gestion des stocks, des comptes-clients, et éventuellement des cartes de fidélité, en particulier de l'attribution de points de fidélité.Payment transactions are conducted in a traditional manner. The cashier for example type of payment, bank check, credit card credit, cash. The computer 15 controls, if necessary the opening of the cash drawer 12 through the control device 18.

Finally, he transmits the data to the internal or external databank, which allows inventory management, customer accounts, and possibly loyalty cards, in particular the awarding of points of loyalty.

Les spots ou séquences publicitaires sont diffusés par l'écran 16 selon des critères prédéterminés. Par exemple, ces séquences peuvent dépendre des tranches horaires, sachant que le type d'acheteurs dépend de ces tranches horaires. De manière plus structurée, les spots diffusés peuvent être liés aux achats effectués. Dans ce cas, les informations issues du lecteur optique, suite à l'identification des produits achetés, sont transmises et traitées par l'ordinateur 15 qui gère la diffusion des spots publicitaires en fonction de la nature des produits achetés. Par exemple, si un acheteur acquiert plusieurs revues relatives à l'informatique, les spots publicitaires diffusés peuvent par exemple concerner des promotions concernant une marque d'équipement informatique.The spots or advertising sequences are broadcast by the screen 16 according to predetermined criteria. For example, these sequences may depend on time slots, knowing that the type of buyers depends on these brackets times. In a more structured way, broadcast spots can be linked to purchases made. In this case, the information from the optical drive, continued identification of purchased products, are transmitted and processed by the computer 15 which manages the broadcast of the commercials according to the nature of the products purchased. For example, if a buyer acquires several computer-related magazines, the advertising spots broadcast may be example concern promotions concerning a brand of equipment computer science.

Ces promotions peuvent concerner des articles commercialisés par le point de vente, donc des promotions internes, ou des articles non vendus par le point de vente, donc des promotions externes. Si le point de vente fait partie d'un groupe, le deuxième écran peut diffuser des publicités de l'ensemble du groupe. Cet écran peut également servir à des fins ludiques, l'organisation de jeux ou de concours diffusés en temps réel dans un ensemble de points de vente, même si le jeu se déroule dans un seul point de vente particulier d'un groupe.These promotions may concern items marketed by the point of sale. sale, so internal promotions, or items not sold by the point of sale sale, so external promotions.
