  • Self-service checkout
    Patent number: 7387241
    Abstract: The invention relates to the reliable and rapid registration of articles, which are provided with a barcode and/or an RFID tag, at a self-service checkout. This is made possible by installing a barcode reader and an RFID reader in the region of the product registration area. In order to avoid double registration in the case of articles having both a barcode identifier and an RFID tag (transponder), the barcode reader and the RFID tag are connected to a data processing device, with the result that, if an article is registered twice, only the single price is calculated.
