Latest Patents

Two of his most prominent patents illustrate his innovative spirit. The first patent focuses on an electronic cash register that incorporates special registration processes triggered by changing product department values. This invention aims to totalize, store, and verify special sales information related to unique customers or purchasers. By implementing an ordinary registration mode, sales data for merchandise is recorded in correspondence with a specific department code. The procedural enhancement occurs when the department shift key is activated, allowing for a seamless transition to special registration.

This device includes a key input unit with a 'scale' key, alongside mechanisms for storing article codes and the conditions under which weight registration is required. If the system determines that registering the article weight is compulsory, the weight is recorded; otherwise, an error message is displayed if an attempt is made to register weight when it is prohibited. This innovation streamlines the checkout process, enhancing productivity and reducing errors at the point of sale.
