Title: Smart health management sales system and method

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Technical Field 
     The present invention relates to the field of a sales system, and in particular, to a smart health management sales system and method. 
     Related Art 
     With the continuous innovation of technologies, various functions are also continuously added to a sales system in accordance with the needs of users. For example, when dining in a restaurant, a customer orders food depending on a waiter to record the requested meals on an ordering menu in a handwritten manner, and then the menu is transmitted to a kitchen for preparation. However, there are some disadvantages in this type of ordering manner. For example, a lot of paper resources are wasted because conventional paper menus cannot be reused. In addition, if a customer spends too much time leafing through the menu, a waiter cannot serve other customers due to a long waiting time. When the waiting time is too long, customers tend to have negative emotions and their desire to dine in the restaurant is reduced, which greatly affects the performance of the restaurant. Moreover, a waiter is prone to clerical errors during long hours of work, which may result in wrong recording and wrong delivery of meals, further causing negative reactions from customers. 
     In view of this, there is an electronic ordering device on the market, which is mainly used to replace conventional paper menus. The electronic ordering device is used to directly order food, and ordering results are directly transmitted to a backend (such as a kitchen) for processing. 
     By using an electronic ordering device to order food, the problem that conventional paper menus are not environment-friendly can be solved. However, as people gradually pay more attention to health, and considering the occurrence of serious outbreaks of highly infectious diseases, when a carrier infected with a highly infectious disease operates an electronic ordering device, the bacteria or virus of the highly infectious disease may contaminate the electronic ordering device through hands or body of the carrier, causing a next user operating the electronic ordering device to be at risk of being infected with the highly infectious disease. 
     SUMMARY 
     In view of the above-mentioned problem, the objective of the present invention is to provide a smart health management sales system and method, which can prevent in advance a carrier infected with a highly infectious disease from operating an electronic ordering device, and clean hands or body of a user operating the electronic ordering device, thereby reducing a risk of being infected with a highly infectious disease for the user operating the electronic ordering device.

       FIG.  1    is a schematic appearance diagram of a partial structure of a smart health management sales system according to the present invention, and  FIG.  2    is a block diagram of the smart health management sales system according to the present invention. In  FIG.  1    and  FIG.  2   , the smart health management sales system  10  includes: a body temperature sensor  12 , a front speaker  14 , an inductive hand cleaning device  16 , a sales touchscreen  18 , an electronic currency payment sensing device  20 , a receipt printing device  22 , a rear touchscreen  24 , a display screen  26 , a rear speaker  28 , and a processing unit  30 . The front speaker  14  and the rear speaker  28  may be loudspeakers. 
     When a user operating the smart health management sales system  10  is at a position where the body temperature sensor  12  senses a body temperature of the user, the processing unit  30  drives the body temperature sensor  12  to sense the body temperature of the user to generate body temperature data, and the body temperature sensor  12  transmits the measured body temperature data to the processing unit  30 . 
     The processing unit  30  determines, according to the body temperature data transmitted by the body temperature sensor  12 , whether to prohibit from operating or enable to operate the smart health management sales system  10 . For example, when the body temperature data measured by the user exceeds a normal healthy body temperature range, the processing unit  30  prohibits the user from operating the smart health management sales system  10 , and immediately informs backend staff to fully clean a contaminated machine before a next user operates the system, and reminds the user to go to a doctor as soon as possible. On the contrary, the user can operate the smart health management sales system  10 . 
     When the user is prohibited from operating the smart health management sales system  10 , the processing unit  30  transmits a reminder message of cleaning the smart health management sales system  10  to the sales touchscreen  18 , and displays the reminder message of cleaning the smart health management sales system  10  on a display picture of the sales touchscreen  18 , and the processing unit  30  transmits a reminder voice of cleaning the smart health management sales system  10  to the front speaker  14  to remind the user to go to a doctor as soon as possible, and the front speaker  14  sends a reminder message of cleaning the smart health management sales system  10  to inform backend staff to implement a whole machine cleaning procedure of the smart health management sales system  10  to ensure that a next user is protected from a risk of being infected. 
     According to a determining result of the body temperature data, the processing unit  30  drives the front speaker  14  to send a voice of informing the user to measure a body temperature, a voice of body temperature data obtained by the user in measuring the body temperature, a voice of prohibiting the user from operating or enabling the user to operate the smart health management sales system  10 , and a voice of informing the user to clean hands. Similarly, the processing unit  30  transmits the determining result of the body temperature data to the sales touchscreen  18 , to displays, on a display picture of the sales touchscreen  18 , information of the user measuring a body temperature, information of the body temperature data obtained by the user in measuring the body temperature, information of prohibiting the user from operating or enabling the user to operate the smart health management sales system  10 , and information of informing the user to clean hands. 
     For example, in a case that the body temperature of the user does not exceed the normal healthy body temperature range, the processing unit  30  drives the front speaker  14  to send a voice of body temperature data obtained by the user in measuring a body temperature, and a voice of enabling the user to operate the smart health management sales system  10 . On the contrary, the front speaker  14  sends a voice of body temperature data obtained by the user in measuring a body temperature, a voice of prohibiting the user from operating the smart health management sales system  10 , and a voice of reminding the user to go to a doctor as soon as possible. In this case, the sales touchscreen  18  also displays the body temperature data obtained by the user in measuring the body temperature, and displays information of enabling the user to operate the smart health management sales system  10 . On the contrary, the sales touchscreen  18  displays the body temperature data obtained by the user in measuring the body temperature, and displays information of prohibiting the user from operating the smart health management sales system  10 . 
     In a case that the user can operate the smart health management sales system  10 , the user follows a voice that is of informing the user to clean hands and that is sent by the front speaker  14  driven by the processing unit  30 , or the user views information that is of informing the user to clean hands and that is transmitted by the processing unit  30  to the sales touchscreen  18  and displayed on the sales touchscreen  18 , and the user places hands at a spraying position where the inductive hand cleaning device  16  sprays a cleaning liquid. When an internal sensor (not shown) of the inductive hand cleaning device  16  senses that the hands of the user are at the spraying position where the cleaning liquid is sprayed, the inductive hand cleaning device  16  sprays the cleaning liquid on the hands of the user to clean the hands of the user, and the inductive hand cleaning device  16  transmits a sprayed cleaning liquid signal to the processing unit  30 . 
     When detecting that a remaining volume of the cleaning liquid is less than a preset minimum remaining volume, the inductive hand cleaning device  16  sends a warning message to the processing unit  30 . The processing unit  30  transmits a reminder message of replenishing a cleaning liquid to the sales touchscreen  18  according to the warning message, and displays the reminder message of replenishing a cleaning liquid on a display picture of the sales touchscreen  18 , or the processing unit  30  transmits a reminder voice of replenishing a cleaning liquid to the front speaker  14  according to the warning message, and the front speaker  14  sends the reminder voice of replenishing a cleaning liquid to inform management staff to replenish a cleaning liquid. 
     When receiving the sprayed cleaning liquid signal transmitted by the inductive hand cleaning device  16 , the processing unit  30  transmits a form item of the smart health management sales system  10  to the sales touchscreen  18 , and displays the form item such as a menu of a restaurant on the sales touchscreen  18  for the user to select. The user selects an item of the form item such as the menu on the sales touchscreen  18 , and the sales touchscreen  18  transmits the selected item of the form item to the processing unit  30 . 
     After receiving the selected item of the form item transmitted by the sales touchscreen  18 , the processing unit  30  transmits a payment amount of the corresponding selected item of the form item to the sales touchscreen  18 , and displays the payment amount on the sales touchscreen  18  for the user to view. The processing unit  30  drives the electronic currency payment sensing device  20 , and the user uses a smartphone at a barcode/QRcode scanner  202  of the electronic currency payment sensing device  20  to make an electronic currency payment or to make a credit card payment at a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor  204  of the electronic currency payment sensing device  20 , to pay an amount corresponding to the selected item of the form item, and the electronic currency payment sensing device  20  transmits a payment result to the processing unit  30 . 
     When the user completes the payment at the electronic currency payment sensing device  20 , the processing unit  30  drives the receipt printing device  22  to print a receipt or an invoice of a payment amount paid to the electronic currency payment sensing device  20  for the user to keep for future use. 
     After the user completes the payment, the processing unit  30  transmits the selected item of the form item (such as a menu) to, for example, a rear touchscreen  24  in a kitchen, the rear touchscreen  24  receives and displays the item of the form item transmitted by the processing unit  30 , and kitchen staff prepares the selected item of the form item. After completing the selected item of the form item, the kitchen staff inputs and displays a processing result of the completed selected item of the form item on the rear touchscreen  24 , and the rear touchscreen  24  transmits the processing result to the processing unit  30 .
