Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a system for detecting and rewarding the return of shopping carts to the designated collection points of a supermarket according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 12.
- Self-service supermarkets and similar establishments are usually interested in customers using a shopping cart to shop.
- the shopping carts are usually kept at collection points from which the customer can remove a cart and take it to the supermarket.
- experience shows that customers' motivation to return the used shopping cart to the collection point after the purchase has been made is very low. Instead, the shopping carts are often left where they were unloaded - usually in the middle of the parking lot of the supermarket. This creates additional costs for the shopping market, since personnel must be available to collect the abandoned shopping trolleys. In addition, there is always the risk of damage to parked vehicles due to abandoned shopping carts.
- a deposit lock system usually consists of a deposit lock with a chain attached to the handle of each shopping trolley, with the chain at its free end being an actuating element for an adjacent deposit lock.
- This actuating element can only be inserted into an adjacent deposit lock and the deposit coin specified there can be released if the two shopping carts concerned are properly stacked one inside the other.
- an electronic return system as described in WO 98/51197 cannot ensure, due to the system, that the shopping trolleys are not only somehow placed in the collection point, but are properly placed there in a row of piles.
- the present invention has for its object to improve a system for detecting and rewarding the return of shopping carts to the designated collection points of a supermarket of the type mentioned so that the advantages of the known deposit lock system are retained.
- the system according to the invention thus not only comprises a number of shopping carts, at least one collection point and detection means for generating a signal for the issuance of a bonus when a shopping cart is returned to the collection point, but also includes detection means which recognize whether the put-back shopping cart is within a predefined tolerance is inserted into the shopping cart standing in front of him at the collection point or parked at a predetermined distance from the starting point of a row of shopping trolleys.
- the customer only receives a bonus if the shopping cart is properly put back, i.e. usually pushed into the stacking row.
- the detection means according to the invention can essentially consist of a digital image processing camera, which is preferably arranged above the shopping trolleys placed in the collection point and programmed in such a way that it detects the handlebars of the shopping trolleys and their spacing and / or their parallelism.
- a digital image processing camera which is preferably arranged above the shopping trolleys placed in the collection point and programmed in such a way that it detects the handlebars of the shopping trolleys and their spacing and / or their parallelism.
- other arrangements of the camera are also conceivable, for example a lateral arrangement, in which case particularly marked lateral struts of the shopping carts are recognized.
- An appropriately programmed, commercially available CCD camera can easily take on these tasks.
- the detection means comprise a number of evaluation units attached to the shopping cart, which generate a signal for issuing a bonus upon receipt of a light signal from the signal transmitter received from the preceding shopping cart.
- These evaluation units are preferably provided with a read / write device, the customer inserting a customer card into this read / write device when the shopping cart is returned and the signal for issuing a bonus is noted on the card.
- An optical signal generator 5 arranged above the stack row 2 sends light signals 6 into the area of the stack row 2 in order to enable the signal to be generated in order to issue a bonus.
- the radiation angle of the light signals 6 is selected such that the handle 4 of a shopping cart 3, which has not been fully inserted into the collection point 1, is no longer reached by the light signals 6 :
- the signal to issue a bonus can therefore only be generated if the shopping cart 3 in question is completely parked within the collection point 1. Since the signal generator 5 requires a power supply, a solar module 7 is provided for the power supply in the exemplary embodiment shown here.
