    摘要: In accordance with one embodiment, a reading apparatus is arranged between an operator and a customer who stand in a face-to-face manner. The reading apparatus includes a main body, a first image capturing section for the operator, a second image capturing section for the customer, and a first display section for the operator. The main body has an opening on a surface thereof facing the operator. The first image capturing section is housed in the main body and photographs a commodity through the opening of the main body. The second image capturing section is arranged at the main body and photographs an object held by the customer. The first display section is arranged above the opening of the main body and displays information relating to sales registration processing. The main body has an upper surface inclined downwards from the operator side to the customer side, and the second image capturing section is arranged at the inclined upper surface.

    摘要: Provided is a settlement terminal device including a plurality of information processing units. The settlement terminal device includes a first information processing unit, a secure second information processing unit, and an orientation detection unit which detects a direction of the settlement terminal device with respect to gravity. The first information processing unit reflects a detection result of the orientation detection unit on an orientation of a first display content displayed on the first display unit, and the second information processing unit determines whether or not to reflect the detection result of the orientation detection unit on an orientation of a second display content, in accordance with the second display content displayed on the second display unit. Thereby, a settlement terminal device capable of easily performing an input operation and display confirmation in a settlement process is provided.

    摘要: Customers would like to minimize the time waiting in checkout lines; however, it is often difficult to understand which checkout lane to choose. The present invention embraces a device, system, and method to help customers understand which checkout lanes are open and operating most efficiently. The invention utilizes Bluetooth-low-energy (BLE) transmitters located at each checkout lane to transmit updated information related to (i) the lane's status (e.g., open or in-use) and (ii) the lane's quality (e.g., throughput efficiency). Portable electronic devices used by customers may receive the BLE signals and understand (e.g., using augmented reality) which lane would be most likely to provide a quick checkout.

    摘要: In accordance with one embodiment, an information processing apparatus comprises an image acquisition module, a detection module, a determination module and a display control module. The image acquisition module acquires an image captured by an image capturing section which photographs an object held to the image capturing section. The detection module detects the object contained in the image acquired by the image acquisition module. The determination module determines the propriety of a holding manner of the object detected by the detection module. The display control module controls to display the image and the propriety of the holding manner determined by the determination module on a display section over the image.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for embedding an image during a transaction at a point-of-sale system. The method may include obtaining a first digital image coded to display a call to action and a placeholder occupying a specific position with respect to the call to action. A computer system associated with the point-of-sale system may interpret the first digital image to collect data identifying the specific position of the placeholder. The computer system may obtain a two-dimensional barcode encoded with a transaction identification unique to the transaction. Using the collected data, the computer system may generate a third digital image coded to display the call to action and the two-dimensional barcode. The two-dimensional barcode may occupy the specific position with respect to the call to action. The point-of-sale system may display the third digital image to a customer associated with the transaction via a receipt, a customer-facing screen, or the like.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for checking out an item to be weighed through a checkout station. The method includes the steps of sensing when the item is positioned on a scale, and displaying a visual indication which prompts a user to initiate a specific keystroke operation in response to the sensing step. The visual indication may be an item menu or a highlighted portion of a screen display. The item menu may include a listing of item names which are ranked based on a sales volume value associated with each of the item names listed in the item menu.
