The technical content and detailed description of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a first embodiment of a checkout device for a product without a barcode according to the present invention. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the checkout device for goods without a barcode includes an image imaging module 10 and a control module 20. Here, the image imaging module 10 is for performing image scanning and sensing in order to acquire a product image 100 including a product without a barcode (not shown). In order to acquire one product image 100 including a plurality of products without a barcode, the image imaging module 10 can simultaneously detect a plurality of products without a barcode at the same time, and can continuously perform the image imaging module 10.

The image imaging module 10 includes an imaging unit 11 and an auxiliary optical module 12. Here, the image pickup unit 11 may be a light receiving element such as a CCD or CMOS, or may further include a fixed focus or zoom lens system. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the image pickup unit 11 of the image image pickup module 10 acquires a product image by taking a picture. The auxiliary optical module 12 may be composed of a light emitting element such as PL (photoluminescence) or LED (light emitting diode). The imaging unit 11 is arranged on the surface of the image imaging module 10 corresponding to the tray on which the product without the barcode is placed so as to acquire the product image 100 including the product without the barcode. The auxiliary optical module 12 is circulated on the outside of the image pickup unit 11 to supplement the brightness of the product without a barcode. The purpose of supplementing the brightness with respect to the product without a barcode is to enable more detailed expression in the product image acquired by the image pickup unit 11. If the intensity of the light applied to the product without the barcode is insufficient, many shadows (for example, the uneven surface of the bread) are generated on the surface of the product without the barcode, and it becomes easy to hide the surface features. Further, the auxiliary optical module 12 can automatically and immediately supplement the brightness of a product without a barcode in cooperation with an illuminance sensor (not shown), and further assists according to the ambient illuminance. The lumen value output by the optical module 12 can be adjusted immediately.

The control module 20 is coupled to the image imaging module 10, receives the product image 100 from the image imaging module 10, identifies the product for the product image 100, and then generates the output data 300 based on the identification result. The coupling may include a physical or wired connection, or may include wireless transmission means such as radio waves invisible to the human eye. The joins described below also follow the above interpretation. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the control module 20 may be coupled to the image capturing module 10 via the USB port 23.

The output data 300 is transferred to the point-of-sale management system 30 for checkout processing.

The conventional point-of-sale management system 30 is connected to a barcode scanner via a USB port or a serial port and receives a product number scanned by the barcode scanner. Generally, when the point-of-sale management system 30 receives a product number, it can query an internal or external database to acquire and display information such as a product name, a photo, and a selling price corresponding to the product number. As a result, the clerk of the store can check out the product by the point-of-sale management system 30.

One of the technical features of the present invention is that the checkout device for a product without a barcode acquires the product image 100 of the product without a barcode by the image imaging module 10, and the product image 100 is obtained by the first microcontroller module 21. The relay data 200 is generated by performing identification, and the relay data 200 is further converted into output data 300 that can be directly read and processed by the sales time point management system 30 by the second microcontroller module 21. Therefore, when the sales point management system 30 acquires the output data 300 from the checkout device for the product without a bar code by the USB port 23, the sales time management system 30 queries the internal or external database based on the output data 300 and outputs the output data 300 (for example,). , The product number is recorded), and information such as the product name, photo, and selling price can be acquired and displayed, and can be checked out. In this way, the checkout device for the bar codeless product of the present invention can be directly commercialized to any store having a point-of-sale management system 30 without the need to modify the software and hardware architecture. It's convenient.

The appearance of the bar codeless product may include shape, color, or size. The second microcontroller module 22 is a circuit board based on the Arduino machine language architecture.

The relay data 200 may include a product number, a product name, a product category, or a number of products. That is, the first microcontroller module 21 identifies the product for the product image 100, and then names each product without a bar code in the product image 100 based on the shape, color, or size (clear and detailed product). Names, such as pollo bread, tilamis, roasted chicken legs, etc.), types (generally refer to general types of products, such as breads, cakes, poultry meat, etc.), numbers (eg, corresponding to POS systems). You can identify the bar code number), quantity, etc., and when you settle the price of the product in the future, discounts or promotions (for example, limited-time freshness) for each price, quantity, or type of different name or number. Special prices, discounts on different types of bulk purchases, etc.) can be easily summarized.

Further, the check-out device for the product without a barcode further includes an image recognition database 40.
