2.3.7 User Messaging

Also, through the User Messaging application, the store has the option to send messages to

shopper’s hand held terminals. The messages can be any text, and can be made to be repeated, to

be displayed at fixed times during the day, and/or to be directed to any set of shoppers currently

in the store. In addition, messages can be "pre-loaded" such that they are displayed to the user

the next time they enter the store and use the PSS system.

2.3.8 Transaction Ticket Printing

The Transaction Ticket Printing application prints a transaction ticket for the shopper at the

conclusion of their self-scan shopping trip. The ticket is used to direct the shopper to the self-

scan or quick pay lanes. The ticket also provides a mechanism, when scanned, for notifying the

POS System that this is a PSS transaction. Using a transaction ticket is optional.

2.3.9 POS Interface

The POS Interface application provides the mechanism by which the PSS System can be fully

integrated into a store’s environment. It handles price file updates and Scan-In/ Scan-Out file

mechanisms.

2.3.10 System Administration

Further, a system administration application is provided which allows store personnel to adjust

and monitor the PSS system and data.

The following diagram depicts the PSS Software in the context of a WaveWorks system. The

system hardware interfaces occur via the Spectrum 24 network. The hand-held terminal user

interfaces are managed as shown in the Application User Interfaces. The Web screens used at the

Service Desk Terminal interface via the Web Server. The Message Server routes messages

through the Business Server to COM objects that perform the PSS business logic and provide

any necessary database manipulations.
