Abstract
A removal device for a security tag attached to an article, including an identification of the security tag, offered for sale in a commercial establishment; where the removal device can be connected to a processor device configured, in turn, to supply an activation signal from the removal device, once the payment transaction has been completed, in order to remove the security tag in the event that there is a positive match between the security tag read by an identification reading device and a machine-readable identification tag read by a device for reading machine-readable identification tags prior to the completion of the sales transaction.
Claims16
A removal device for a security tag attached to an article, including a machine-readable identification tag, offered for sale in a commercial establishment;
- characterized in that the removal device can be connected to a processor device configured, in turn, to supply an activation signal from the removal device, once the sales transaction has been completed, in order to remove a security tag in the event that there is a positive match between a security tag read by an identification code reading device and an identification retrieved by the processor device, corresponding to the identification of a machine-readable identification tag read by a device for reading machine-readable identification tags prior to the completion of the sales transaction.
A point of sale where a sales transaction for a saleable article can be completed in a commercial establishment;
- where the point of sale of a commercial establishment comprises a device for reading machine-readable identification tags, an identification code reading device, a processing device that can be connected to the tag reading device and the code reading device;
- a security tag removal device adapted to remove security tags;
- and a device for manual and/or automatic payment in cash and/or by credit and/or debit card and/or by other payment methods, of the portable, tablet, cell phone, etc. type;
- where the removal device can be connected to a processor device configured, in turn, to supply an activation signal from use removal device, once the sales transaction has been completed, in order to remove a security tag in the event that there is a positive match between a security tag read by an identification code reading device and an identification retrieved by the processor device, corresponding to the identification of a machine-readable identification tag read by a device for reading machine-readable identification tags prior to the completion of the sales transaction.
A method for removing a security tag attached to an article including a machine-readable identification tag, offered for sale in a commercial establishment;
- characterised in that the method comprises the stages of:
- Removing a security tag using a removal device in response to the receipt by said removal device of an activation signal supplied by a processor device, once a sales transaction has been completed, and in the ease of a positive match between an identification of the security tag read by an identification reader device and an identification retrieved by the processor device, corresponding to a security tag associated with the machine-readable identification tag read by a machine-readable identification tag reading device prior to the completion of the sales transaction.
