Abstract
An order to customer linking system may include a sensor to sense a position of an order, a projector and a processing unit to associate a customer with the order and to output signals causing the projector to project a customer identification image based upon the position.
Claims6
A customer ordering system comprising:
- a projector to project an image towards a horizontal surface configured to vertically underlie a food order;
- a sensor to sense a three-dimensional field overlying the image on the surface;
- and
- a processing unit to automatically forward food orders to management system, a food preparation area or to a waiter/waitress in response to sensed positioning of the arm of a customer or the sensed movement or positioning of an object or structure within the three-dimensional field and to change a projection being projected by the projector in response to sensed customer actions within the three dimensional field.
