Abstract

A system comprising at least one theft security system (2) comprising at least one transceiver device (4, 6), set up adjacent at least one passage, for detecting antitheft labels that pass the passage (8, 10), characterized in that each theft security system (2) and/or each transceiver device (4, 6) is preferably provided with an identification code with which each theft security system (2) and/or each transceiver device (4, 6) is identifiable within the system, the system further comprising at least one control device (26), and the system further comprising a communication device (28), the communication device (28) being adapted for real-time transmission of real-time information about detected antitheft labels from each theft security system (2) and/or each transceiver device (4, 6) to the control device (26), the control device (26) being adapted for real-time processing of the real-time received real-time information.

Claims

1. A system comprising at least one theft security system comprising at least one transceiver device, disposed adjacent at least one passage, for detecting antitheft labels that pass the passage, characterized in that each theft security system and/or each transceiver device is referably provided with an identification code with which each theft security system and/or each transceiver device is identifiable within the system, the system further including at least one control device, and the system further comprising a communication device, the communication device being arranged for real-time transmission of real-time information about detected antitheft labels from each theft security system and/or each transceiver device to the control device, the control device being arranged for real-time processing of the real-time received real-time information.
