Abstract
A POS terminal (code reading device) according to one example embodiment of the present invention includes: a code reading unit that reads information of a code based on a reflected light from the code attached to an item; and a discount processing unit that, when the information of the code is not read by using a first light being irradiated on the code and the information of the code is read by using a second light being irradiated on the code, makes a discount associated with the second light for the item, wherein the second light is different from the first light.
Claims8
A code reading device comprising:
- a control unit configured to control to irradiate a code attached to an item with a first light and a second light different from the first light;
- a reading unit configured to read information corresponding to the code based on a reflected light from the code;
- and
- a processing unit configured to:
- apply no discount to a price of the item when a first reading with the first light is successful;
- apply a discount to the price of the item by a discount condition associated with the second light when a second reading with the second light is successful based on the first reading being unsuccessful.
A code reading method comprising:
- controlling to irradiate a code attached to an item with a first light and a second light different from the first light;
- reading information corresponding to the code based on a reflected light from the code,
- applying no discount to a price of the item when a first reading with the first light is successful;
- and
- applying a discount to a price of the item by a discount condition associated with the second light when a second reading with the second light is successful based on the first reading being unsuccessful.
A non-transitory storage medium in which a code reading program is stored, the code reading program that causes a computer to perform:
- controlling to irradiate a code attached to an item with a first light and a second light different from the first light;
- reading information corresponding to the code based on a reflected light from the code,
- applying no discount to a price of the item when a first reading with the first light is successful;
- and
- applying a discount to a price of the item by a discount condition associated with the second light when a second reading with the second light is successful based on the first reading being unsuccessful.
