Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims listed.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will described in more detail below.

Der Einkaufswagen besitzt eine Einrichtung 1, die ein Pfandschloß 2 aufweist, das über eine Verbindung insbesondere eine Kette 3 mit einer Einkaufswagenstation oder einem anderen Einkaufswagen verbindbar ist. Hierbei weist die Einkaufswagenstation einen Zwölf-Volt-Netzanschluß 4 auf, um den Akku 5 der Einrichtung 1 aufladen zu können, wenn der Wagen an der Station direkt oder indirekt über mehrere Einkaufswagen hinweg angeschlossen ist.The shopping cart has a device 1 which has a deposit lock 2 which can be connected via a connection, in particular a chain 3, to a shopping cart station or another shopping cart. Here, the shopping cart station has a twelve-volt mains connection 4 in order to be able to charge the battery 5 of the device 1 if the cart is connected directly or indirectly to several shopping carts at the station.

Die Einrichtung 1 ist an dem Griff des Einkaufswagens befestigt oder in ihn integriert und besitzt einen Laserscanner mit akustischer und/oder optischer Eingabebestätigung 6 für den Balken-Code eines beliebigen Kaufproduktes, der durch den Laserscanner mit akustischer und/oder optischer Eingabebestätigung gelesen wird. Die Karte 7 weist neben einem Magnetstreifen 8 einen Chip 9 auf und wird durch ein Magnet-Chip-Lesegerät ausgelesen.The device 1 is fastened to the handle of the shopping cart or integrated into it and has a laser scanner with acoustic and / or optical input confirmation 6 for the bar code of any purchase product which is read by the laser scanner with acoustic and / or optical input confirmation. In addition to a magnetic strip 8, the card 7 has a chip 9 and is read out by a magnetic chip reader.

Die ausgelesenen Daten sind durch einen in der Einrichtung 1 angeordneten Sender 11 zum Zentralcomputer 12 des Kaufmarktes übertragbar. Ebenso werden durch die Aktivierung des Computerprogramms durch die Daten der Karte 7 und/oder den Laserscanner vom Zentralcomputer 12 gespeicherte Daten abgerufen und zur Einrichtung 1 drahtlos übertragen. Hierzu besitzt die Einrichtung 1 einen Empfänger 13. The data read out can be transmitted to the central computer 12 of the retail market by a transmitter 11 arranged in the device 1 . Likewise, by activating the computer program using the data on the card 7 and / or the laser scanner, data stored by the central computer 12 are retrieved and transmitted wirelessly to the device 1 . For this purpose, the device 1 has a receiver 13 .

Ferner weist die Einrichtung 1 ein Display 14 auf, das die vom Zentralcomputer 12 empfangenen Daten anzeigt. Darüber hinaus kann aber auch das Display die über den Laserscanner ausgelesenen Balken-Code-Informationen anzeigen.The device 1 also has a display 14 which displays the data received from the central computer 12 . In addition, the display can also show the bar code information read out via the laser scanner.

Das System besteht somit aus mindestens drei Komponenten:
The system thus consists of at least three components:

  • - einer individuellen Kunden-Chip-Karte mit Magnetstreifen,- an individual customer chip card with magnetic stripe,
  • - ein akkubetriebenes, mobiles, multifunktionales Laser-Lesegerät (Scanner) mit LCD-Anzeige und akustischer und/oder optischer Angabebestätigung am Einkaufswagen,- a battery-powered, mobile, multifunctional laser reader (scanner) with LCD display and acoustic and / or visual confirmation of information on Shopping venture,
  • - einem Zentralcomputer im Kaufmarkt und vorzugsweise einem Bildschirmterminal mit Drucker im Kaufmarkt.- A central computer in the purchase market and preferably one Screen terminal with printer in the supermarket.

Alle Komponenten sind über Funk miteinander gekoppelt.All components are linked to each other via radio.

Die individuelle Kunden-Chip-Karte mit Magnetstreifen ist multifunktionell. Zunächst dient sie dazu, das Sicherungsschloss eines Einkaufswagens zu entriegeln. Gleichzeitig wird über den Magnetstreifen und/oder Chip das am Einkaufswagen, vorzugsweise am Griff befestigte oder in das Sicherungsschloss integrierte kleine Laser-Lesegerät aktiviert und stellt sofort den Funkkontakt zum im Kaufmarkt befindlichen Zentralcomputer her. Die individuellen Kundendaten werden automatisch je nach Bedarf offen oder codiert übertragen, so dass der Computer den individuellen Kunden "erkennt'. Die Daten, die auf dem Magnetstreifen und/oder im Chip gespeichert sind, können vielfältig sein.The individual customer chip card with magnetic stripe is multifunctional. First of all, it serves to lock the security lock of a shopping cart unlock. At the same time, the magnetic stripe and / or chip on the Shopping trolley, preferably attached to the handle or in the security lock integrated small laser reader activates and immediately puts the radio contact to central computer in the purchase market. The individual customer data are automatically transmitted open or coded as required so that the Computer "recognizes" the individual customer. The data stored on the Magnetic strips and / or stored in the chip can be varied.
