- the buyer is in an environment in which the different goods are depicted figuratively or symbolically.
- By moving the symbol body to the selected commodity becomes Purchase process performed. This is possible because the symbol body is provided with an identification device, which is an ongoing localization of the symbol body. This symbol body is always a specific one Assigned to buyer.
- it may be the display on which the goods are displayed are to trade posters attached to walls, sales tables or the like are.
- these are output units of the computer system, So for example, to large flat screens.

But even a cash payment can be in the way of Vending machines are handled.
- the present invention also relates to a device for handling sales transactions with a display to show the available goods or Services and with a data processing system for processing and Storage of sales transactions.
- this device is characterized in that a free movable symbol body is provided with an identification device and that the display comes with a device for identification and positioning the symbol body is provided with a data processing system for processing and storing sales transactions stands.
- the device may, for example, in a modern retail location be realized, in which the customer when entering a symbol body passed becomes. The customer then performs physical manipulation with the symbol body through the desired purchases and closes the purchase process He wants him to take the symbol body to the place of payment brings.

- a significant advantage of the method according to the invention and in particular the device according to the invention is that the symbol body very simple and therefore robust and also inexpensive to produce is because it does not contain a computer or data store.
- the device according to the invention that the symbol body is transparent. This makes it possible even during the Hang up on the display to observe the selected goods or symbols.
- the transparency is in itself not required but may be used as well.
- the symbol body is equipped with an RFID chip.
- RFID chips are small, inexpensive and reliable in use. Everybody Chip is assigned a unique number, can also be used in a variety of Customers the individual symbol bodies are always recorded separately from each other, to avoid misallocations.
- the figure shows schematically the essential components of the invention Contraption.
- the device consists of a data processing system 1 with a memory 2, in which all required information is stored.
- the data processing system 1 is connected to a display 3 in connection, for example, as Flat screen or can be configured as a data projection device.
- a display 3 On the display 3 different fields 4 are displayed, the goods offered or services, such as music CDs or on a Mobile phone 19 downloadable ringtones.
- an information retrieval field 5 and an information field 6 is displayed.
- a freely movable Symbol body 7 is intended by the buyer according to his wishes to be moved on the display 3.
- the symbol body 7 has as Identification device an RFID chip 8, this symbol body 7 unique It identifies and enables the spatial position of the symbol body 7 by a corresponding device 9 for identification and position determination can be detected.
- An input device 10 can furthermore be provided with the data processing system 1 be connected, which allows the user to switch the display 3, as in a catalog, a large variety of possible Display goods and services one after the other. It may be at the input device 10 also a delete button be provided, which allows individual to remove goods or services already on the list, if the buyer has decided not to buy them.

Too too Here to achieve a high degree of automation, can be a fully automatic Storage system be provided, which consists of a storage area 15, an automatic manipulation device 16 is assigned, which makes it possible Goods to remove from the storage area 15. About a corresponding Conveyor 17, the goods removed an issue basket 18 are supplied, which is assigned to the corresponding buyer.
- a Such output device is particularly suitable for easy-to-handle goods, such as sound carriers, on.
- the present invention allows a sales process as far as possible automatically and without the availability of appropriate personnel. There are great degrees of freedom in the nature of the sale Goods and services, it can be to all goods on the display 3 most diverse Information of every kind can be offered. So, for example of books to be sold are given reading samples, it may be from to Selling audio samples are played back, it can be technical Data or other background information is displayed and the like.
- the sales process can be completely anonymous, but also after identification of the user.
- the issue of the goods or the service is provided in a variety of ways.
- the issue of the goods or the service is provided in a variety of ways.
- the shipping route can be an automatic Issue be provided by a corresponding storage system, it but also the corresponding product can be produced just-in-time, in which For example, a CD is burned on an ad hoc basis that is the one selected by the buyer Contains title.
- the purchased goods if it is essentially for data to be transmitted electronically to the buyer, for example via an NFC interface to a mobile device, such as a MP3 player.
