Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren und ein System zum Erfassen und Belohnen einer Rückführung von Einkaufswagen in die dafür vorgesehenen Sammelstellen eines Einkaufsmarktes vorgeschlagen. Während des Einkaufs wird ein erstes Signal A und beim Zurückstellen eines Einkaufswagens in eine Sammelstelle wird ein zweites Signal B generiert. Zur Ausgabe eines Bonus für die Ruckführung eines Einkaufswagens werden die beiden Signale A und B entweder im Einkaufsmarkt oder in einem Informationsträger, den der Kunde mit sich führt, korreliet. Beim Generieren des ersten Signals A wird der Kunde oder ein von diesem mitgeführter Informationsträger identifiziert, oder aber das Signal A wird an der Kasse der Einkaufsmarkts dem Kunden mitgegeben, so dass dieser selbst für die Korrelation des Signals A mit dem zu erhaltenen Signal B sorgen muss.
