Method and apparatus for reproducing audio and/or video data for use in at least one checkout environment

摘要

The invention involves a procedure and a system for reproducing or alternatively creating audio and/or video data in a location (12, 14, 16) in which sales are made, such as a restaurant or a business, which includes at least one data source (28) for audio and/or video data; at least one replay station (20); one control system (10), which is connected to the storage device and the replay station; at least one pay station (18), which is connected with the control system; at least one storage unit (30, 32); which control system creates correlation data sets from the data previously stored and contains a time correlation between the data that have been played. Or, alternatively between the applications and programs that created them and the pay station sales, and the control system takes account of these correlation data sets in replaying the data or in selecting the programs or applications.

主权项

1. System for replaying or creating audio and/or video data in a premises in which sales are made, the system comprising:
at least one data source for audio and/or video data or at least one replay station for audio and/or video data; a control system, which is connected to at least one storage device or the replay station; at least one pay station connected with the control system; at least a second storage device, which is designed for storing at least one of the group comprising pay station sales, the audio and/or video data, programs, and applications that create the data, wherein the control system creates sets of correlation data from stored data, which have a temporal correlation between the played audio and/or video data or between the applications and programs that create these data and the cash point sales, and wherein the control of the correlation data-sets is taken into account for the playing of the audio and/or video data or in selecting programs or applications; and, at least a third storage device for storing the correlation data calculated by the control system, wherein the correlation data has a trigger to play audio and/or video data that had previously accompanied higher sales, wherein the trigger is automatically generated by the third storage device.
