    摘要: A non-transitory computer-readable medium whose contents, when executed by a computing system, can cause the computing system to perform operations for an audited shopping system that include receiving scanned product information identifying a current product and an associated weight of the current product. An indication can be determined to place the current product in a selected bag among a plurality of bags. The associated weight of the current product can be added to a previous calculated weight of products in the selected bag to provide a current calculated weight of products in the selected bag and then all previous operations can be repeated until receiving an indication that shopping is done to provide a plurality of products that are distributed among the plurality of bags, wherein each bag has a respective calculated weight of all products in the bag and indicating a selected one of the plurality of bags as an audited bag for weighing.

    摘要: Printers and printer systems for printing images on paper in different configurations and for dispensing printed paper in different directions are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a printer includes a body defining openings. A printing unit is positioned within the body and can receive an instruction for printing an image. In a first print mode, the printing unit can print the image on the paper in a first configuration and dispense the paper in a first direction through one of the openings of the body. In the second print mode, the printing unit can print the image on the paper in a second configuration and dispense the paper in a second direction through another of the openings of the body. A sensing component can determine whether the printer is in the first print mode or the second print mode.

    摘要: Systems and methods for initiating predetermined software function for a computing device based on orientation and movement are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method comprises detecting a change in movement of a computing device to substantially zero velocity for a predetermined period of time. The method further detects a predetermined orientation of the computing device. The method further initiates a predetermined operation of the computing device in response to detecting the decrease in movement for the predetermined period of time and detecting the predetermined orientation of the computing device.

    摘要: A portable payment terminal (PPT) that is used to facilitate customer transactions in a mobile point-of-sale (MPOS) system is assigned to a particular tablet device. The PPT device may dock with to charge its batteries, and undock from the tablet device to facilitate customer transactions. To maintain a requisite one-to-one relationship between the two devices, a timer is started whenever the PPT device is undocked from the tablet device. Additionally, checks are performed to ensure that the PPT device is authorized to dock with the tablet device. If the PPT device remains undocked from the tablet device for a predetermined time period, or if the PPT device is not authorized to dock with the tablet device, the functions of the tablet device and/or the PPT device are disabled to reduce or eliminate the usability of the devices to a user.
