Device for assisting purchasers at a point of sale

Abstract

Abstract In a memory circuit 14 information relating to the products of at least one single type are recorded, in particular, for each product, at least one set of data specifying various characteristics of the product. Interrogation means, such as pre-printed sheets 20 which are capable, after being marked, of being read by a read device 22 make it possible, for one type of product and for each characteristic of the product, to insert input data chosen from among a set of data specifying this characteristic. A processing circuit 12 carries out a matching between input data and recorded data in order to invoke printing of an output document 26 identifying the products selected in response to the interrogation. It is thus possible for a purchaser rapidly to obtain all the information on all the products available at a point of sale corresponding to his needs and means.
