Abstract
The invention relates to a method for triggering one or several actions complementary to those triggered by an application method implemented by an electronic device. The invention further relates to a system including one or several electronic devices implementing said method triggering complementary actions to cooperate with one or several communicating electronic peripherals.
Claims9
A method for triggering complementary actions implemented by a processing unit of an electronic device, the electronic device being connected to a cashing peripheral, said method triggering complementary actions comprising:
- a step for detecting reception by the processing unit of an input datum;
- a step for searching, in a data memory cooperating with the processing unit, for a record including a value of the input datum;
- a step of determining whether the data memory includes such a record;
- a step, in response to a determination that the data memory includes such a record, requesting non-distribution of said input datum to an application method of cashing registration for executing an action in response to provision of the input datum, the application method being implemented by the processing unit, and not supporting the cashing peripheral;
- a step for causing implementation by the processing unit of a determined complementary action, said determined complementary action including the sending of a command to the cashing peripheral;
- and
- a step for requesting distribution of said input datum to the application method after execution of the command by the cashing peripheral.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program product including program instructions which, when recorded beforehand in a program memory of an electronic device including said program memory, a processing unit, a data memory, a man-machine output and input interface, and communication means providing a determined mode of communication, said memories, said interface and said communication means cooperating with said processing unit, cause the implementation of a method triggering complementary actions, wherein the program instructions, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to:
- detect reception by the processing unit of an input datum;
- search, in the program memory cooperating with the processing unit, for a record including a value of the input datum;
- in response to determining that the data memory includes such a record:
- request non-distribution of said input datum to an application method of cashing registration for executing an action in response to provision of the input datum, the application method being implemented by the processing unit, and not supporting the cashing peripheral;
- cause implementation by the processing unit of a determined complementary action, said determined complementary action including the sending of a command to the cashing peripheral;
- and
- request distribution of said input datum to the application method after execution of the command by the cashing peripheral.
An electronic device including a processing unit, a data memory, a program memory, a man-machine output and input interface, and communication means providing a determined mode of communication, said memories, said interface and said communication means cooperating with said processing unit, wherein said electronic device is connected to a cashing peripheral and includes, in the program memory, instructions of a computer program product which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the electronic device to:
- detect reception by the processing unit of an input datum;
- search, in the program memory cooperating with the processing unit, for a record including a value of the input datum;
- in response to determining that the data memory includes such a record:
- request non-distribution of said input datum to an application method of cashing registration for executing an action in response to provision of the input datum, the application method being implemented by the processing unit, and not supporting the cashing peripheral;
- cause implementation by the processing unit of a determined complementary action, said determined complementary action including the sending of a command to the cashing peripheral;
- and
- request distribution of said input datum to the application method after execution of the command by the cashing peripheral.
