Abstract: An apparatus for processing sales of articles, such as a store scale, has a microphone which listens to a conversation between a customer and a salesperson and converts words into an electrical speech signal, which signal is converted to a speech recognition result by a speech recognition device. A comparator compares the speech recognition result with keywords stored in a memory, with at least some of the stored keywords being product names which define a group of keywords. A control device, on the detection of a keyword belonging to the group and/or of a permitted combination of keywords which includes a keyword belonging to the group, outputs a piece of information associated with the detected keyword or combination of keywords and available via a data source, or outputs an offer for the output of the information, such as with a section menu, by an output device of the apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the processing of sales of articles of a product assortment to a customer, in particular to store scales, having a microphone device for listening to a conversation between a customer and a salesperson for the conversion of connected spoken words of the conversation into an electrical speech signal, having a speech recognition device for the generation of a speech recognition result representing the words from the electrical speech signal having a comparator for the comparison of the speech recognition result with keywords stored in a memory device of the apparatus for keyword recognition in the speech recognition result, with at least some of the stored keywords being product names which define a group of keywords, and having a control device which, on the detection of a keyword belonging to the group and/or of a permitted combination of keywords, which includes a keyword belonging to the group, is adapted to output a piece of information associated with the detected

Abstract: To provide a labeling device for moved objects, comprising a stamp which is displaceably guided and by means of which a label is positionable on an object, with which a high reproducibility of the labeling operation on moved objects is achieved, a measuring device for detecting a stamp displacement time is provided, and the stamp displacement time is determined by the length of time of the movement of the stamp towards the object.
