Dual-camera display for item recognition during transactions
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11922783B2) describes a display system integrated into a transaction terminal. The display includes two cameras positioned at the top corners of the touch-screen surface, with one focused on the staging area and the other on the bagging area during a transaction. Images captured by these cameras are stored in memory and can be accessed in real-time during the transaction. The touch-screen surface also allows for touch inputs to be received and transmitted to the transaction terminal, enhancing user interaction and functionality.
Furthermore, the patent details a terminal equipped with a touch display peripheral device that not only captures images of the transaction areas but also processes item information using touch inputs and other peripheral devices. The processor tracks the location of each item using the images captured by the cameras, enabling the auditing of transactions for any discrepancies. The terminal is designed to connect to the memory of the touch display peripheral device via a high-speed display port, emphasizing efficiency and data transfer speed. This innovative system is suitable for self-service terminals (SST) or point-of-sale (POS) terminals, enhancing security and accuracy in transactions.
