摘要

During a first stage (9) articles to be acquired at say a supermarket are received either electronically or manually. The word for each article is then assigned (11) an identifying number. The identifying number is then used with a table of association (12) to produce a localisation code. Any special offers relating to the items are also identified (13) and a minimum route and shopping list are produced as a print out (14)
