摘要： A method and system for collecting and categorizing survey data includes receiving customer information from a customer. A query is identified based at least in part on the customer information. The query is output for presentation to the customer. In one embodiment, the query is presented to the customer by prompting an employee, such as a clerk at a point-of-sale terminal, to verbally present the question to the customer. A customer response to the query is then received. The request from the customer may be, e.g., a request to purchase one or more products or it may be a request for assistance or information. The customer response is then captured and analyzed.

摘要： This invention relates generally to systems and methods for delivering products-on-demand to individuals and, more particularly, to delivery via vending machines. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the method of the instant invention is initiated when a customer makes an initial product selection. Based the customer's product choice, a determination is made as to whether or not that product qualifies for an alternate product offer. If it does not so qualify, the customer's original selection will be dispensed and the transaction ends. On the other hand, if the product does so qualify, the customer will be presented with an offer message that suggests that he or she should try an alternative product. Typically, the product that is offered as an alternative will be the one whose sale is most beneficial to the vending machine operator, e.g., the one yielding the greatest profit. If the customer accepts the alternate offer, the alternate product will be dispensed. However, if the customer declines the alternate product offer, the originally requested item will be vended. The particular circumstances under which an alternate product offer is presented to the customer are quantified by representing them as a collection of rules, the evaluation of which depends preferably on previously collected sales data.
摘要翻译：本发明一般涉及用于将产品按需提供给个人的系统和方法，更具体地涉及通过自动贩卖机递送的系统和方法。根据优选实施例，当客户进行初始产品选择时，启动本发明的方法。根据客户的产品选择，确定该产品是否符合替代产品报价。如果不符合条件，客户的原始选择将被分配，交易结束。另一方面，如果产品符合条件，客户将会收到一个报价信息，表明他或她应该尝试替代产品。通常，作为替代品提供的产品将是销售对自动售货机操作者最有利的产品，例如产生最大利润的产品。如果客户接受备用报价，则备用产品将被分配。然而，如果客户拒绝替代产品报价，则原始要求的产品将被销售。将替代产品提供给客户的特定情况通过将它们表示为规则的集合来量化，其评估优选地取决于先前收集的销售数据。

摘要： A POS terminal determines an upsell to offer in exchange for the change due to a customer in connection with a purchase. The point-of-sale terminal preferably maintains a database of at least one upsell price and a corresponding upsell to offer a customer in exchange for the change due to him. If the customer accepts the upsell, the cashier so indicates by pressing a selection button on the POS terminal. The required payment amount for the customer to pay is then set equal to the rounded price, rather than the purchase price. Thus, the customer receives the upsell in exchange for the coins due to him, and the coins need not be exchanged between the customer and the POS terminal.
摘要翻译： POS终端确定提供的加售，以换取与购买有关的客户的更改。销售点终端优选地维护至少一个加售价格和相应的加售数据库，以提供客户以换取由他所引起的变化。如果客户接受加售，则出纳员通过按POS终端上的选择按钮来指示。然后将客户支付的所需支付金额设置为等于舍入的价格，而不是购买价格。因此，客户收到加价以换取因他而导致的硬币，并且硬币不需要在客户和POS终端之间进行交换。
