Abstract

A sales data processing apparatus comprises a position storage section which stores a position of an operation section operated by an operator, a line of sight measurement device which measures a position of line of sight of the operator, a line of sight position storage module which stores the position of the line of sight measured by the line of sight measurement device, a coincidence determining module which determines whether or not the position of an operation section to be operated next by the operator is coincident with the position of the line of sight of the operator stored, and an operation informing module which informs information for instructing an operation of the operation section if the coincidence determining module determines that the position of the operation section to be operated next is not coincident with the position of the line of sight of the operator stored.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A sales data processing apparatus, comprising:

a display section;
a first light emitting section above the display section;
an operation section;
a line of sight position storage module configured to store information related to a position of a line of sight of an operator when the operator operates the operation section;
a line of sight measurement device configured to measure a position of the line of sight of the operator, the line of sight measurement device being arranged at a lower part of the display section;
an operation informing module configured to inform information for instructing an operation of the operation section to be operated next, when a predetermined time elapses in a state in which the position of the line of sight measured by the line of sight measurement device is not coincident with a position of the line of sight on the operation section to be operated next by the operator;
and
a light emission control module configured to cause the first light emitting section to emit light when a certain time further elapses, in the state in which the position of the line of sight measured by the line of sight measurement device is not coincident with the position of the line of sight on the operation section to be operated next, after the operation informing module informs the information for instructing the operation of the operation section to be operated next.
