SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING SELF CHECK OUT SERVICES

摘要

Some systems and methods are directed to a device agnostic architecture configured to control and/or manage the interactions between any front end store systems (e.g., self checkout (SCO) systems) for capturing purchase items and backend systems (e.g., point of sale (POS) subsystems) for completing purchase of the items. The device agnostic architecture can include a translation layer or translation component that mediates communications from and/or between the front end and backend systems. For example, the translation layer maps any commands received from any SCO and/or POS device into execution commands native to receiving systems. For example, back-end processing systems can be configured to control on-line identification of products and/or services for purchase, and manage execution of sales of any goods or services. The translation layer manages communication between SCO devices and the backend systems so each communicates with each other according to their respective formats (e.g., communication protocol and/or data format).

主权项

1. A self check out (SCO) system for processing purchase information in communication with the SCO system, the SCO system comprising:
at least one processor operatively connected to a memory; a translation component, executed by the at least one processor, configured to:
receive purchase execution information from at least one purchase subsystem wherein the purchase execution information is communicated in a first format associated with a first purchase subsystem;map the purchase execution information to an execution format associated with a calculation subsystem;communicate instructions according to the mapping in the execution format to the calculation subsystem; andreceive updated purchase information from the calculation subsystem for display on an interface of the first purchase subsystem.
