The invention relates to a method and a system for implementing a sequence
for sales and provision of information at a retail establishment or in a
similar area where a local radio communication is established between a
central computer unit (30) and mobile terminals (20), equipped with bar
code readers. For implementation of the sequence, the unit (30) first
receives an initiation order from a terminal (20), transmitted via a
telecommunication network via a second unit (40) at a service provider.
The telecommunication is then disconnected, and local radio communication
is employed for the communication between the customer's terminal and the
shop's unit (30). A unique identification is created for the sequence,
and a registration list is established associated with the sequence. The
unit (30) further receives data input by means of the bar code reader in
the terminal (20), comprising information (101) concerning each item. The
registration list is updated with data associated with the goods, and
these data can also be displayed on the terminals (20). Finally a payment
or credit transaction is initiated based on the updated registration list
and the identification for the sequence.
