Abstract
A product sales data processing system includes: a sensor attached to a bulk food container of a product; and a weighing apparatus. The sensor includes: a sensor module that detects displacement of the sensor; a memory that stores a sensor ID that identifies the sensor; and a transmitter that transmits the sensor ID stored in the memory when the sensor module detects a predetermined displacement value. The weighing apparatus includes: a receiver that receives the sensor ID transmitted from the sensor; and a display that displays product information associated with the sensor ID.
Claims20
A product sales data processing system comprising:
- a sensor attached to a bulk food container of a product and that comprises:
- a sensor module that detects a change of a tilt angle or a rotation angle of the sensor;
- a processor that determines whether the tilt angle or the rotation angle is equal to or greater than a predetermined value;
- a memory that stores a sensor ID that identifies the sensor;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits the sensor ID stored in the memory after the processor of the sensor determines that the tilt angle or the rotation angle is equal to or greater than the predetermined value;
- and
- a weighing apparatus that comprises:
- a receiver that receives the sensor ID transmitted from the sensor;
- and
- a display that:
- is a touch display that receives a user operation, and
- displays product information associated with the sensor ID, the product information including a product button that receives a user operation to specify the product as a weighing object.
A weighing apparatus comprising:
- a weighing scale that comprises a weighing platform on which a container owned by a user is placed and that measures a tare weight that is a weight of the container owned by a user when the container is empty;
- a reader/writer that writes the tare weight to a non-contact IC medium attached to a label;
- a processor that registers, after the writing of the tare weight has been completed, the container owned by the user as a reusable container;
- and
- a display that displays a message indicating that the writing of the tare weight has been completed and a message prompting the user to take the container owned by the user from the weighing platform.
