ABSTRACT:
A system for operating shopping basket with an accounting function. Each shopping basket comprises an article registering unit, an accounting control unit (calculator), a display, an alarm, a transmitter, a receiver, and an external memory. A "valid" mark is placed upon articles to be placed in the shopping basket. The article registering unit includes elements for detecting a moving direction of an article to and from the shopping basket, and elements for reading the status of the "valid" mark on the article. If an article is not properly registered, the "valid" mark is changed to an "invalid" mark. The calculator checks a valid/invalid status of articles, registers articles, and performs an accounting operation. The display indicates prices of articles received in the shopping basket, and a sub-total of the articles present therein. The alarm alerts a shopper of an article with an "invalid" mark and that a sub-total of articles actually present in the shopping basket does not agree with a sub-total calculated on the basis of identification codes of the articles.
