GRASPING SYSTEM FOR FLOW LINE IN STORE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To grasp flow line data showing a moving state of purchasers in a store at low cost without any manual work. SOLUTION: Many ID tags 1 stored with unique position discrimination data are provided to display shelves 63 or the like and a data storage device 2 which stores the position discrimination data sent from the ID tags 1 together with their reception time is mounted on a cart. When a purchaser enters a counter together with the cart, the data storage device 2 calls the ID tags 1 and receives and stores data sent from the ID tags 1 in a specific area. Those data are passed to a reception device 5 by radio transmission at the time of payment and sent to a computer for analysis through a communication line. Terminal discrimination data added by data storage devices 2 are read by a POS associated register 3 and sent to the computer together with sales data. Consequently, flow lines are grasped and made to correspond to purchased articles.
