Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verwendung von Einkaufswagen in Supermärkten, wobei die Einkaufswagen mit einem Schloss ausgestattet sind, in das ein Verriegelungsstecker eines zweiten Einkaufswagens einführbar ist. An dem Schloss am Einkaufswagen ist eine als nachrüstbares Bauteil ausgebildete Steuervorrichtung zugeordnet, die einen Sender, einen Empfänger und eine durch das Handy ablesbare Kennungsmarke des Einkaufswagens umfasst und die von einer App eines Handys oder Smartphones des Benutzers steuerbar ist. Die App ist mit dem Rechner des Großmarkts verbindbar und teilt dem Großmarkt Daten des Benutzers mit sowie diesen mit einer Pfandgebühr belastet. Danach gibt der durch den Großmarkt gesteuerte Empfänger den Verriegelungsstecker frei und der Sender ordnet Daten des Einkaufswagens dem Handybesitzer im Großmarktrechner zu. Der Sender überwacht das Einstecken des Verriegelungssteckers und veranlasst nach erfolgtem Einstecken die Rückzahlung der Pfandgebühr.The invention relates to a method for using shopping carts in supermarkets, wherein the shopping carts are equipped with a lock into which a locking plug of a second shopping cart can be inserted. At the lock on the shopping cart designed as a retrofittable component control device is associated with a transmitter, a receiver and an identifiable by the mobile phone identification mark of the shopping cart and which is controlled by an app of a mobile phone or smartphone of the user. The app is connectable to the computer of the wholesale market and informs the wholesale market data of the user as well as this burdened with a deposit. Thereafter, the controlled by the wholesale market receiver releases the locking connector and the sender assigns data of the shopping cart to the mobile phone owner in the wholesale market computer. The transmitter monitors the insertion of the locking plug and causes after successful plugging the repayment of the deposit fee.
Description
Herkömmliche Einkaufswagen von Großmärkten (Aldi, Lidl, Rewe usw.) sind bekanntlich mit jeweils einem Schloss ausgestattet, in das jeweils ein Stecker des vorhergehenden Einkaufswagens eingesteckt ist. Die so in einer Reihe verbundenen Einkaufswagen sind auf diese Weise geparkt. Um einen Einkaufswagen vom vorhergehenden zu lösen, ist eine Münze im Wert von 1 €, 0,50 Cent oder ein sogenannten Chip nötig, die bzw. der in einen Schlitz des Schlosses gesteckt wird. Beim Schließen wird bekanntlich der Stecker vom vorigen Einkaufswagen in den nächsten Einkaufswagen eingesteckt, und dann erhält der Benutzer die Pfandmünze oder den Chip zurück. Bei einem beabsichtigten Einkauf kommt es jedoch immer wieder vor, dass der Benutzer keine Münze oder keinen Chip besitzt und diese erst mühsam an der Kasse holen muss, oder sogar seine Geldbörse vergessen hat und diese dann erst zuhause abholen muss. Diese Situationen sind zeitraubend und daher höchst ärgerlich. In neuerer Zeit hat jedoch der Benutzer immer sein Handy oder Smartphone dabei.Conventional shopping carts of hypermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, etc.) are known to each equipped with a lock, in each of which a plug of the previous shopping cart is inserted. The shopping trolleys connected in this way are parked in this way. To solve a shopping cart from the previous one, a coin worth 1 €, 0.50 cents or a so-called chip is required, which is inserted into a slot of the lock. When closing the plug is known to be inserted from the previous shopping cart in the next shopping cart, and then the user gets the deposit coin or the chip back. In the case of an intended purchase, however, it often happens that the user does not own a coin or a chip and has to fetch it at the checkout, or even has forgotten his wallet and then has to pick it up at home. These situations are time consuming and therefore highly annoying. In recent times, however, the user always has his cell phone or smartphone with him.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird nun vorgeschlagen, dass das Schloss am Einkaufswagen mit einer als nachrüstbares Bauteil ausgebildeten Steuervorrichtung ausgerüstet ist, die einen Sender, einen Empfänger sowie eine durch das Handy ablesbare Kennungsmarke des Einkaufswagens enthält und die mittels einer App des Benutzers derart gesteuert wird, dass das Schloss geöffnet werden kann. Diese App ist firmenbezogen (Aldi, Lidl, Rewe usw.) und mit einem internen Rechner des Großmarkts verbindbar. Die Kennungsmarke kann einen lesbaren Strichcode oder QR-Code aufweisen. Nach dem Ablesen des Codes wird das Schloss geöffnet und der Einkaufswagen wird freigegeben. Nach dem Ablesen des Codes wird dieser sowie gleichzeitig Daten (Handy-Nummer, Adresse, Konto) des Benutzers dem Rechner des Großmarkts mitgeteilt.According to the invention, it is now proposed that the lock on the shopping cart is equipped with a control device designed as a retrofittable component which contains a transmitter, a receiver as well as an identification mark of the shopping cart which can be read by the mobile phone and which is controlled by means of an app of the user such that the lock can be opened. This app is company-related (Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, etc.) and connected to an internal computer of the wholesale market. The tag may include a readable bar code or QR code. After reading the code, the lock is opened and the shopping cart is released. After reading the code this and at the same time data (mobile phone number, address, account) of the user is communicated to the computer of the wholesale market.
Der Benutzer tätigt seinen Einkauf, bringt den Inhalt seines Einkaufs zu seinem Pkw, bringt den Einkaufswagen zurück und steckt den Verriegelungsstecker des vorigen Einkaufwagens ein.The user makes his purchase, brings the contents of his shopping to his car, brings back the shopping cart and inserts the locking plug of the previous shopping cart.
Um den Benutzer zu motivieren, dass er den Einkaufswagen zurück zum Parkplatz der Einkaufswagen bringt, wird eine Pfandgebühr von seinem Konto abgebucht und bei der Rückgabe des Wagens wird das Pfand wieder gutgeschrieben.In order to motivate the user to bring the shopping cart back to the parking lot of the shopping cart, a deposit is deducted from his account and the deposit is credited back upon the return of the car.
Sollte eine Barzahlung oder Kartenzahlung des Einkaufs nicht möglich sein, kann über die App auch das Konto des Handybesitzers belastet werden.If a cash payment or card payment of the purchase is not possible, the account of the mobile phone owner can be charged via the app.
Diese Erfindung könnte für Großmärkte insofern von Bedeutung sein, als sie durch das Handy oder Smartphone das Einkaufsverhalten des Kunden überwachen können, was er wann und an welcher Stelle im Großmarkt eingekauft hat, so dass ein genaues Einkaufsprofil erstellt werden kann.This invention could be important to hypermarkets in that they can monitor the customer's shopping habits through their mobile phone or smartphone, what they bought when and where in the wholesale market, so that an accurate shopping profile can be created.
