Abstract
A weighing device includes: a weighing scale that measures a weight of a good; a communication interface that outputs goods purchase information including a purchase weight value based on a measured value by the weighing scale; and a central processing unit (CPU). In response to the CPU detecting that the measured value by the weighing scale has increased from zero to a positive value and then decreased from the positive value to zero, the communication interface outputs, as the purchase weight value, goods purchase information including the positive value.
Claims10
A weighing device, comprising:
- a weighing scale that measures a weight of a good;
- a communication interface that outputs goods purchase information including a purchase weight value based on a measured value by the weighing scale;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU), wherein
- in response to the CPU detecting that the measured value by the weighing scale has increased from zero to a positive value and then decreased from the positive value to zero, the communication interface outputs, as the purchase weight value, goods purchase information including the positive value.

A weighing device, comprising:
- a weighing scale that measures a weight of a good;
- a communication interface that outputs goods purchase information including a purchase weight value based on a measured value by the weighing scale;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU), wherein
- in response to the CPU detecting that the measured value by the weighing scale has increased from zero to a positive value and then decreased from the positive value to zero, and in response to the CPU detecting that the measured value has not decreased even once in a process of starting from zero until reaching the positive value and that the measured value has not increased even once in a process of starting from the positive value until reaching zero, the communication interface outputs, as the purchase weight value, goods purchase information including the positive value once the measured value has reached zero.

A sales system, comprising:
- a weighing device, and
- a display device, wherein
- the weighing device comprises:
- a weighing scale that measures a weight of a good;
- a communication interface that outputs goods purchase information including a purchase weight value based on a measured value by the weighing scale;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU),
- the display device comprises:
- an input/output (I/O) interface, and
- a display, and
- in response to the CPU detecting that the measured value has increased from zero and then decreased and that the measured value has increased before reaching zero, the communication interface outputs abnormal information indicating that an abnormal operation has occurred instead of the goods purchase information,
- in response to the I/O interface receiving the goods purchase information, the display displays a goods selection region including a good name and a purchase weight value based on the goods purchase information, and
- in response to the I/O interface receiving the abnormal information, the display displays information indicating that an abnormal operation has occurred based on the abnormal information.
10 more elements
A weighing device, comprising:
- a weighing scale;
- a display that includes:
- a first display region for displaying a measured weight by the weighing scale;
- a second display region for displaying a decrease in the measured weight as a purchase weight;
- a third display region for displaying a unit price;
- and
- a fourth display region for displaying a purchase amount based on the unit price and the purchase weight;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU) that:
- upon detecting that the measured weight has decreased, displays the purchase amount in the fourth display region,
- upon detecting that the measured weight has increased, displays information other than the purchase amount in the fourth display region or hides a display of the fourth display region, and
- when displaying the information other than the purchase amount in the fourth display region, or when hiding the display of the fourth display region, modifies the display of the fourth display region to a display indicating zero.

A display device, comprising:
- a display that includes:
- a first display region for displaying a measured weight;
- a second display region for displaying a decrease in the measured weight as a purchase weight;
- a third display region for displaying a unit price;
- and
- a fourth display region for displaying a purchase amount based on the unit price and the purchase weight;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU) that:
- upon detecting that the measured weight has decreased, displays the purchase amount in the fourth display region,
- upon detecting that the measured weight has increased, displays information other than the purchase amount in the fourth display region or hides a display of the fourth display region, and
- when displaying the information other than the purchase amount in the fourth display region, or when hiding the display of the fourth display region, modifies the display of the fourth display region to a display indicating zero.
