Abstract (en)
A retail checkout system (10) allows a customer to gather and pay for items without going through a checkout lane. The system includes a wireless checkout device (11) transported by a customer, preferably on a shopping cart, which the customer uses to identify and pay for items associated with a shopping transaction. The checkout device (11) includes a wireless communication device (24), a scanner (18), and a marking/unmarking device (20). The marking/unmarking device (20) is operative to deactivate security devices on the items when the items are scanned a first time by the customer and to reactivate the security devices when the items are scanned a second time by the customer. The system also includes a central computer (26) and a wireless communication network linking the checkout device (11) with the computer (26). A security system located at an exit and coupled to the computer (26) senses items which have not been deactivated by the marking/unmarking device (20) and alerts the computer (26) and security personnel. <IMAGE>
