Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to security systems for inhibiting theft of goods from retail stores.
- a commercially used system for inhibiting the theft of goods from retail stores comprises tagging each article with a tag which, unless deactivated by an
- the tag is tuned to react to
- signals can, for example, be radio frequency signals at 58kHz. Upon being subjected to a signal of this frequency, the tag vibrates transmitting a signal to a
- the response frequency of the tag can be changed from 58kHz to 60kHz.
- the tag When the article with the deactivated tag attached is taken out of the retail store, the tag remains passive as it now requires a signal of 60kHz to activate it.
- response frequency of the tag can subsequently be changed back to 58kHz thereby
- the present invention seeks to counter this
- journal roll and the cashier can keep the cash knowing that there is no
- checkout system for a retail store, the system including; a bar code reader which generates a signal each time there is a successful
- a checkout system for a retail store comprising;
- a bar code reader including means for generating a signal each time there is a successful swipe across the reader, the reader including means for emitting an
- an anti-theft tag deactivator connected to said control unit and having an
- Said operating signal can be tapped-off the bar code reader's
- an acoustic pick-up it can be a microphone attached to the housing of the bar code reader.
- a checkout system for a retail outlet comprising a cash drawer and
- Figure 1 is a pictorial view of a checkout at a retail store
- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic representation of a checkout
- Figure 3 is a block diagram.
- the checkout illustrated comprises a bar code reader 10 over which articles being checked out are swiped. If the bar
- code reader 10 fails successfully to read the bar code, which can happen for a
- the bar code reader 10 remains entirely passive and does not react to the fact that an article has been swiped. The article has to be swiped until
- piezo electric device 12 and is emitted as an audible beep.
- Reference numeral 14 designates an anti-theft tag deactivator.
- bar code reader 10 and deactivator 14 are placed adjacent one another so that the
- a processing unit 16 (which will be described in more detail hereinafter
- pick-up 20 is attached to the casing 22 of the bar code reader 10 adjacent the
- the device 12 includes speaker or piezo electric device 12 which emits the audible beep.
- the device 12 includes speaker or piezo electric device 12 which emits the audible beep.
- the pick-up 20 are preferably on the rear of the casing 22 of the reader 10.
- the unit 16 receives a signal each time an audible beep is "heard" by
- the pick-up 20 For a period of, for example, two seconds after the signal from the
- the unit 16 generates a signal which is fed along a
- the bar code reader 10 is difficult and moreover can be detected on surveillance cameras.
- bar code readers include a LED, usually green, which lights up to give a visual indication of a successful swipe.
- the signal to this LED can be
- the signal can be emitted at some remote point.
- the signal at this port can also be used
- the beep picked up by the pick-up 20 can be used, in conjunction with
- microswitch 26 on a cash drawer 28, to detect fraudulent activities based on the
- the amplifier 32 is fed to the unit 16 as a control pulse.
- a digital band pass control 34 is connected to the unit 16 and can be
- a signal can be picked up at 38 from a
- This signal may, on a successful read, go from low to high or high to low. This signal replaces the signal
- the unit 16 which can be a programmable controller, can have a so-called jug plug socket 40 into which a programmed jug plug 42 can be inserted.
- a port 44 of the unit 16 has the line 30, and hence the micro switch 26 on the drawer 28, connected to it.
