Abstract
A method of tracking produce selection data which minimizes fraud. The method includes the steps of receiving produce identification information, including a number of possible candidates, displaying the produce identification information, recording the produce selection data in a log record, and determining from information in the log record whether the produce selection data is likely incorrect and whether to issue an alert to store management.
Claims17
A method of tracking produce selection data comprising the steps of:
- receiving produce identification information, including a number of possible candidates;
- displaying the produce identification information;
- recording the produce selection data in a log record;
- recording operator identification information in the log record;
- and
- determining from information, including information in the log record and accuracy information about prior produce selection data associated with the operator, whether the produce selection data is likely incorrect and whether to issue and alert.

A method of tracking produce selection data comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first weight of a produce item from a scale;
- receiving produce identification information, including a number of possible candidates for identifying the produce item;
- displaying the produce identification information;
- recording the produce selection data in the a log record, including a second weight of a selected produce item on a displayed list of produce items;
- and
- determining from information, including information in the log record, whether the produce selection data is likely incorrect, including the a substep of comparing the first and second weights.

A method of tracking produce selection data comprising the steps of:
- receiving produce identification information, including a number of possible candidate produce items for identifying a produce item;
- displaying the produce identification information;
- recording the produce selection data in a log record, including a first predominate color of a selected produce item;
- and
- determining from information, including information in the log record, whether the produce selection data is likely incorrect, including a substep of comparing the first predominate color of the selected produce item with a second predominate color of a candidate produce item having a highest confidence level.

A method of tracking produce selection data comprising the steps of:
- receiving produce identification information, including a number of possible candidate produce items for identifying a produce item;
- displaying the produce identification information;
- recording the produce selection data in a log record, including a first category in which a selected produce item is associated;
- and
- determining from information, including information in the log record, whether the produce selection data is likely incorrect, including a substep of comparing the first category of the selected produce item with a second category of a candidate produce item having a highest confidence level.
2 more elements
A transaction processing system comprising:
- a produce data collector for collecting produce information about a produce item;
- and
- a computer which records operator identification information in the log record, which generates a number of possible candidates for identifying the produce item, which displays the candidates, which records a selected candidate, which records the selected candidate in a log record, and which determines from information in the log record and from accuracy information about prior produce selection data associated with the operator whether the selected candidate is likely incorrect.
A transaction processing system comprising:
- a produce data collector for collecting produce information about a produce item;
- a scale for weighing the produce item;
- and
- a computer which records a first weight of the produce item from the scale in the log record, which generates a number of possible candidates for identifying the produce item, which displays the candidates, which records a selected candidate, which records the selected candidate in a log record, which records a second weight of the selected candidate in the log record, and which determines whether the selected candidate is likely incorrect by comparing the first and second weights.
