Definitions
- the invention relates to distribution, especially food.
- distribution systems allowing the customer to freely use the products he wants and to be cashed later.
- self-service checkouts or "self-checkout” in English.
- the products are placed on shelves and their price is displayed on a label stuck to the packaging or on the shelf.
- the customer circulates in the store, chooses the products he wants to buy, puts them in a basket. He finally goes to the cashier where an operator records all the items in a cash register and cashes the customer.
- the customer After choosing the items he wants to buy, the customer comes to a special fund, called "self-service" and scans one by one the bar codes of the items. He is often asked to have the items on a scale that allows a consistency check on the nature of the products.
- the credit union accepts one or more means of payment: credit card, banknotes, coins, coupons, etc.
- self-scanning systems or "self-scanning" in English.
- the customer is equipped with a portable device such as a hand shower or a smart phone capable of reading barcodes or other identification systems (flash-tag, RFID, etc.). It is at the moment of the choice of the articles that the customer scans the barcode before disposing them in his basket.
- the weighing by the operator the customer himself uses bulk products, in very light bags (plastic or paper). It is at checkout that the operator recognizes the product, weighs it and records it in the cash register. Note that it is sometimes difficult for the operator to recognize the exact nature of the product (example: rice can be similar and yet have prices per kilo different).
- the existing machines are bulky and represent a loss of useful sales area in store. In addition, they are manufactured by manufacturers with a design of their own, rarely customizable by stores.
- FIG. 1 shows a rack or "gondola”, seen from the front, equipped with two doors with magnetic latch, with a shelf El view in partial section.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the same rack as Figure 1, but equipped with a single door.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the same rack as Figure 1, but without door.
- - Figure 4 illustrates a set of 2 bins, seen in perspective.
- FIG. 5 shows a set of 2 bins, seen from the front, the right tank seen in section.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a set of 4 bins, seen in perspective, the tank bottom right seen in section.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an inclined bottom tank, seen in profile and in section.
- FIG. 8 shows a set of 2 deep tanks and its automatic leveling mechanism by hydraulic cylinder. The right tank seen in section, cylinder retracted.
- FIG. 9 illustrates a set of 2 deep tanks and its automatic leveling mechanism by hydraulic cylinder.

- the silos are fixed on the large plate 2. Below the valves VI, V2, V3 and V4, there is a space 32 in the cabinet so that the customer can place a container on the plate 35 before operating one valves. Lighting 34 of the space 32 is provided to flood the photocells 33-1, 33-2, 33-3 and 33-4 with light. It may be further provided an NFC reader 4, and an LCD screen 6, facing the customer between the silos S2 and S3 ( Figures 10 and 11).
- the customer When serving, the customer approaches a container of one of the valves, for example the valve V2, and actuates the valve that delivers the product contained in the silo.
- the detection of the activated silo is done by an electrical contact in the valve or by an alteration perceived by the photocell 33-2 located just below the valve V2. These two detection means can be used together, one serving as a confirmation for the other.

- each device it can be provided: - A surveillance camera 7,
- One or more polychrome LED ribbons to adapt the luminous signage to the state of the device
- All devices on the same device are connected to a PCB that controls them.
- the PCBs are all connected to a local area network that allows a "SMASH-MON” monitoring program to access the status of each device, and measurements made by scales or other devices.
- the client identifies himself, for example using an NFC support, read by the reader 4,
- the client can operate the button 5 located at the NFC reader; vs. the customer can move away from the radius, which will have the effect of automatically closing the session by detecting the distance of the NFC support.
- the session also has a rolling expiration from the last client interaction measured by the device. In case of expiration, the session will be closed automatically.
- NFC NFC technology
- Each station or station at the point of sale is equipped with an NFC reader.
- Each customer has a NFC badge, which can be permanent (stored for example in his smartphone (smartphone), or given to him at the entrance to the point of sale.
- This NFC badge combines all the necessary data to identify the customer and to pay for purchases.
- the computer has a supervisor (100) of the NFC readers ( Figure 17).
- the supervisor is normally in the standby state.
- this supervisor initiates a purchase process 200 with the coordinates associated with this badge, and the identifier of the NFC reader that detected.
- the setting of the proximity threshold depends on the dimensions of the device and its layout in the warehouse, so as to guarantee a control zone in which the customer alone can use the products concerned.
- the whole of this invention remains valid and consistent with identification methods based on other technologies such as RFID or Bluetooth Low Energy.
- the purchasing process 200 begins with checks 201 relating to the identity of the customer, in particular with the following control: the customer data of the NFC badge is known to the computer, and the customer is not no forbidden purchases (active account, unblocked badge, positive prepaid balance or valid means of payment).
- phase (203) the customer uses product (s).
- Phase 205 involves detection of the nature and amount of product. Whatever the item considered, the products are based on trays 2, themselves placed on the scales 1, which continuously measure the mass of products they support.
- the scales 1 may be digital electronic scales, for example with piezoelectric sensors, and which operate continuously. The mass measured by each balance is transmitted, with an identifier of the scale concerned to the computer "SMASH-MON".
- This one has in memory the nature of the products present on the plate 2 of the balance, and the associated prices.
- the tray 2 supports only one type of product.
- the quantity of the product taken by the customer is detected by the mass differential.
- the same plate supports different types of products, the unit mass of which would be different.
- the nature of the product is determinable when the unit mass differential is sufficiently discriminating. Otherwise, a question can be asked to the customer on the screen of the device.
- Phase 207 ends with the calculation of mass and price.
- the customer may continue with another purchase in the same position, or the session may be closed under the conditions indicated above.
- a supervisory process 300 (FIG. 20) of all the devices is provided, in particular to measure the weight variations on the scales. This supervision takes place continuously whether a purchase process (200) is in progress or not.
- a consistency test (303) checks that the change in weight is expected: for each type of product, we will have parameterized that we expect a discrete variation (solid products whose unit mass is approximately the same for all products of the same nature) or continuous (liquid or granular products). When a discrete variation is expected, it will be verified that the variation corresponds to a multiple of the unit weight of the product in question.
- the alerting process 500 begins by transmitting to the central server the information summarizing the cause of the alert (plateau, scales concerned, weight variation traces, error message).
- the device is then labeled in the "DIRTY” state meaning that the intervention of a member of the store staff is necessary and that he will have to perform an operation to regularize the situation. Although in "DIRTY” state the device is still functional and in service for sale to customers.
- the selling process 400 (FIG. 22) is started when an expected and negative variation is detected (303 and 304) during the supervision (300). It starts with 401: the addition to the basket of detected products and the display on the LCD (6) associated with the device. The inventory data is then decremented by the quantities in question (402).
- the rendering process 600 (FIG. 23) is started when an expected and positive variation is detected (303 and 304) during the supervision (300). It begins with the credit of the customer's means of payment, if he has been previously informed (601). The inventory data is then incremented by the quantities in question (602). The products are removed from the customer's basket (603) and displayed on the LCD (6) associated with the device. If the customer places the product or products on a shelf different from the original one, the server is updated (605) to keep track of the location of each product. The device is then labeled in the state "DIRTY” meaning that the intervention of a member of the store staff will have to perform an operation to regularize the situation. Although in "DIRTY” state the device is still functional and in service for sale to customers.
