  • Patent number: 11900772
    Abstract: A mobile terminal includes: a processor that acquires a type of a product sold by weight; and a transceiver connected to the processor and that establishes intercommunication with a weighing device that weighs the product sold by weight; a storage connected to the processor. The processor causes the transceiver to acquire, from the weighing device, a weight value of the product sold by weight weighed by the weighing device. The processor registers, in the storage, the type of the product and the weight value that corresponds to the type of the product.

  • Publication number: 20210326828
    Abstract: A weighing and pricing device includes: a processor that executes a registration process for a product to be purchased by a customer; a transceiver that: establishes a connection between a mobile device possessed by the customer and the weighing and pricing device; and upon establishing the connection, receives, from the mobile device, identification information that identifies the mobile device; and a storage that stores information relating to the product and the identification information in association with each other. After the registration process is interrupted, the transceiver receives, from the mobile device, identification information. The processor specifies the product associated with the stored identification information that corresponds to the identification information received after the registration process. The processor recommences the registration process for the specified product.

  • Patent number: 9354107
    Abstract: The present invention provides an item registration apparatus and a measuring device cooperating with a mobile terminal to allow smooth registration of sold-by-weight items being purchased by a customer. The item registration apparatus comprises: a measuring device having a weighing tray on which an item is put; and a mobile terminal which can be connected to the measuring device via communication channel (access point or the like). When the item is put on said weighing tray of the measuring device and the measurement of the item is thus completed, the measuring device transmits transaction information of the measured item to the mobile terminal via the communication channel so that the transaction information is stored. This eliminates printing of code information on a label issued from the measuring device and operation of scanning the printed code information by using the mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 8927882
    Abstract: A commodity search device includes a storage unit, a measuring unit, a number input unit, a unit average weighing value calculator, and a first commodity search unit. The storage unit stores commodity information including a reference unit weight determined for each commodity. The measuring unit measures a total weight of commodities placed at a predetermined weighing position. The number input unit allows inputting the number of the weighed commodities. The unit average weighing value calculator divides the total weight of the commodities weighed by the measuring unit by the number input by the number input unit to calculate a unit average weighing value per one commodity. The first commodity search unit searches for commodities falling within a weight deviation from the storage unit using the unit average weighing value.
