Description
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRING A
PERCENTAGE OF A SUM, SPENT ON PURCHASES IN SHOPS INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME, TO AN INSURANCE POLICY IN THE
PURCHASER'S NAME
The invention concerns tele-informatic equipment specially connected for automatic operation of insurance methods. In all shops today there are cash registers for calculating the total sum a purchaser spends and issuing printed slips for fiscal use.
Payment may be made by means of an electronic card and for this purpose the cash registers are connected to a reader device.
Also well known are the various insurance systems whereby the insured person pays a premium and receives compensation for harm suffered due to an accident or to some event, or receives payment of a lump sum or of an income following injuries that affect his life.
Many people who might be willing to sign an insurance contract fail to do it for lack of time or opportunity, or because they are unaware, of the relative benefits or do not know how to go about it, or because they are under no pressure to do so, thus depriving themselves of all the advantages that an insurance policy offers.
Insurance companies also suffer because they conclude fewer contracts.
Another reason that discourages people from signing such contracts is that they are reluctant to undertake periodical disbursement of sums which they are obliged to continue paying for years unless they want to forfeit all the rights acquired up to that time.
Pressure to save by the well-known methods of advertising and promotion obviously have certain insurmountable limits. Purpose of the above invention is to provide a means for creating insurance coverage to the advantage of both th e policy holders and the insurance companies.
Subject of the invention is an electronic system for automatically transferring a percentage of purchases made in shops partaking in the scheme, to an insurance policy held by the purchaser.
The system comprises the following:
- a set of equipment consisting of an. electronic cash register, a reader-writer of electronic cards and an electronic operating and control unit situated in the shop;
- a computer in the office of an organization running the tele-informat ic system connected to the above equipment;
- a special kind of electronic card.
The card is issued by the above organization to each customer of the shops concerned who has applied for one, and includes a memory to contain all the customer's personal and statistical details as well as the number of the insurance policy drawn up in said customer's name.
This policy is taken out with an insurance company through the organization that operates the system.
After insertion of a customer's electronic card in the reader-writer device and when the amount of the purchases the customer has made has been recorded, the cash register
calculates the sum corresponding to the percentage of said amount to be transferred to the insurance policy in said customer's name. The whole is then stored in a memory and a fiscal receipt is issued showing the list of purchases, the amount of the above percentage and the number of the customer's insurance policy.
By means of a system of tele-informatics, the electronic control unit simultaneously sends all data concerning the above operation, and especially the sum to be transferred to the policy of the customer who has made the purchases, to the computer connected to said control unit and situated in the office of the organization that runs the service. The cash register comprises logic circuits, memory units, a printer head, a keyboard, a display and an interface, unit for connection to the electronic card reader-writer device, to the scanner unit of purchased items and to the electronic control unit.
The electronic card reader-writer device comprises logic control units, memory units, the reader-writer device itself and an interface for connection to the cash register's interface.
The electronic control unit comprises a switching section for the interfaces of two sets of logic control units connected to memory units for connection to the cash register and for the computer installed at the organization that runs the service.
The electronic card may be either of the type with built-in chip or else magnetic.
The invention has obvious advantages.
Payment of the premium is automatic and is related to the frequent and necessary actions commonly made such as purchasing goods.
The sum to disburse is no longer fixed but is proportional to that spent on purchases and payment is not obligatory. The whole is realized by simple means using apparatus of a well-known kind and electronic circuits associated in an original manner, and original electronic equipment of great simplicity and effectiveness.
Characteristics and purposes of the invention will be made still clearer by the following example of its execution illustrated by diagrammatic figures.

In a shop that has agreed to work in conjunction with an organization operating this service, an electronic complex 9 is installed, consisting of an electronic cash register 10, a reader-writer of electronic cards 11, a purchase selection unit 13 and a control unit 12.
The electronic circuit of the cash register 10 comprises two logic control units 20 and 21.
The first of these is connected to the memory unit 22. The second is connected to the printer head 23, to the keyboard 24, to the display 25 and to the interface 26 for connection to the rest of the units.
The electronic card reader-writer 11 comprises the interface 30 connected to the logic control unit 31, to the memory logic unit 32 and to the electronic card reader-writer head 33.
The operation and control unit 12 comprises the switch section AB 40 connected to interfaces A 41 and B 42.
The interface A 41 is connected to the logic control unit 43, in turn connected to memory units B 44 and 45. The interface B 42 is connected to the logic control unit B46, in turn connected to memory units B 47 and 48. The electronic complex 9 is connected by the switch section 40 to the computer 50 situated at the offices of the organization that runs the service, in turn served by the printer 51 and by the monitor 52.
The electronic card 14 is of the type with built-in chip; it contains in its memory the customer's personal and statistical data and the indications as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B.
On the front side may be seen the name 60 of the organization that operates the system, the name 61 of the electronic card, its progressive number 62, the progressive number 63 of the insurance policy made out to the owner of the electronic card, and said owner's name 64.
On the back may be seen the name 65 of the shop taking part in the scheme, the brand name 66 of the card, the space 67 for the holder's signature and the magnetic strip 68.
The organization that operates the services issues said electronic card to the customers of a supermarket or any kind of shop taking part in the scheme and at the same time draws up a special insurance policy in the name of each one.
The system works as shown by the diagram in Fig. 5.
The customer 80 who has chosen the products to be b ough t in one of the above shops, goes to the cash desk 81 and pays for the goods with the electronic card 14.
The cashier puts said card in the reader device 11 and after its acceptance is notified, taps out the prices of the goods.
The cash register 10 records the purchases and calculates the total 83, issues the receipt 70 for the customer showing the percentage 73 of the total amount of purchases to be transferred to said customer's insurance policy. All this is stored in the memory unit 22.
The receipt bears a declaration 71 of this transfer and the number 72 of the policy and percentage amount 73.
After the total has been printed, the cash register 10 ceases recording on the inserted electronic card 14 and assumes the position for reading the next of said cards. The recorded data are transmitted by a tele-informatic process, through the operating and control unit 12 to the computer 50 at the organization running the system. Each month said organization sends to each customer a statement 86 of what has been bought in the month and recorded with the electronic card and, to the shop where the purchases were made, the statement 87 of what was bought there with said electronic card and the sum to be paid over to the above organization for the customer's insurance policy.
Every six months said organization will send to each customer a progressive Statement 88 of the sum transferred to the insurance policy of that customer and will pay over to the insurance company the sums 89 received from the shop.
