Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an unstaffed checkout system comprising a checkout counter (1) provided with appropriate actuators, a background system (17) containing at least the product data, and a cash terminal program (15) which transmits information from the checkout counter actuators to the background system. The system comprises a functional block (13) with an interface (14) compatible with the data transmitted by the cash terminal program (15). Product data relating to product identification are collected and new data are automatically added to the data for each product until the system has learned the key characteristics of each product. <IMAGE>
