4. The display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 1 , wherein:

the availability of the product data set (PD) concerns the availability of an amount of the product, and

the display device ( 2 - 19 ) is configured to check the availability data set (VD) to see whether the product data set (PD) is limited in the amount of product, and to process the request within the limitation of the amount of the product and, if the limitation of the amount of the product is exceeded, to process the request with another product data set or not at all or in another way.

5. The display device ( 2 - 19 ) according claim 1 ,

wherein the display device is configured to receive and store at least one of user identification data or device identification data (ID) for the identification of at least one of the user of the self-checkout device or the self-checkout device ( 57 ) when processing the request.

6. The display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 4 ,

wherein the display device is configured to receive and store at least one of user identification data or device identification data (ID) for the identification of at least one of the user of the self-checkout device or the self-checkout device ( 57 ) when processing the request and check the availability of the amount of the product, taking into account a limitation of an amount of the product per user or an amount of the product per self-checkout device ( 57 ).

7. The display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 3

wherein the display device is configured to receive and store at least one of user identification data or device identification data (ID) for the identification of at least one of the user of the self-checkout device or the self-checkout device ( 57 ) when processing the request and check the availability in time, taking into account a limitation of an amount of the product per user or an amount of the product per self-checkout device ( 57 ).

8. The display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 5 , wherein the display device is configured to deliver the at least one of user identification data or device identification data (ID) to the base station ( 25 , 26 ) during a communication via the first radio interface ( 44 ).

9. The display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 8 , wherein

the display device ( 2 - 19 ) is configured to deliver only the at least one of user identification data or device identification data (ID) to the base station ( 25 , 26 ) for which a confirmation of a user of the self-checkout device ( 57 ) is present as a consent for storing the product data set (PD) received by the display device ( 2 - 19 ) or a confirmation of a user of the self-checkout device ( 57 ) for carrying out a payment transaction for this product data set (PD).

10. A self-checkout system, comprising:

a base station ( 25 , 26 ) for communicating with a number of display devices ( 2 - 19 );

at least one display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 1 ; and

a self-checkout device ( 57 ) comprising:

a device radio interface ( 59 ) compatible with the second radio interface ( 45 ) of a first display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 1 for communicating with the first display device ( 2 - 19 ); and

a control stage ( 51 ) for controlling a self-checkout request via the device radio interface ( 59 ) to the first display device ( 2 - 19 ) for transmitting a product data set (PD) from the first display device ( 2 - 19 ) via the device radio interface ( 59 ) to the self-checkout device ( 57 ).

11. A method for using the display device ( 2 - 19 ) according to claim 1 for making an individual product data set (PD) available in a spatially localized manner in a self-checkout system for locally transmitting the product data set (PD) from the display device ( 2 - 19 ) to a self-checkout device ( 57 ) making a self-checkout request to the display device ( 2 - 19 ),

wherein the self-checkout device ( 57 ) comprises:
