Gate apparatus, control method for gate apparatus, program, and gate system

A control method for a gate apparatus communicatively connected to an information processing apparatus including at least one information processor and at least one information memory configured to execute computer executable instructions for reading a store leaving code generated for each customer and associated with payment information to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process by a user has been completed, the control method comprising:

• acquiring second identification information for individually identifying a product that has passed through the gate apparatus from an RFID tag attached to the product;
• collating the first identification information obtained on the basis of the store leaving code with the second identification information;
• and
• outputting one or more product names related to a cause of an error onto a screen to prompt user's checking, in a case where a collation result is not normal.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store a computer program comprising instructions for a gate apparatus communicatively connected to an information processing apparatus including at least one information processor and at least one information memory configured to execute computer executable instructions for reading a store leaving code generated for each customer and associated with payment information to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process by a user has been completed, to execute following steps including:

• acquiring second identification information for individually identifying a product that has passed through the gate apparatus from an RFID tag attached to the product;
• collating the first identification information obtained on the basis of the store leaving code with the second identification information;
• and
• outputting one or more product names related to a cause of an error onto a screen to prompt user's checking, in a case where a collation result is not normal.

An information processing apparatus communicatively connected to a gate apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• at least one information processor;
• and at least one information memory, including instructions thereon, which when executed by the information processor, cause the information processing apparatus to:
• read a store leaving code to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process by a user has been completed;
• collate the first identification information obtained on the basis of the store leaving code with second identification information that is acquired from an RFID tag attached to the product by a second acquisition unit included in the gate apparatus and is used to individually identify a product having passed through the gate apparatus;
• and
• perform display related to a cause of an error on a display unit to prompt user's checking in a case where a collation result from a collation unit is not normal.

A gate system including a gate apparatus and an information processing apparatus communicatively connected to the gate apparatus, the gate system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and at least one memory, including instructions thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the gate apparatus to:
• read a store leaving code to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process by a user has been completed;
• acquire second identification information from an RFID tag attached to a product, the second identification information being used to individually identify a product that has passed through the gate apparatus;
• collate the first identification information obtained on the basis of the store leaving code with the second identification information;
• and
• perform display related to a cause of an error on a display unit to prompt user's checking in a case where a collation result from a collation unit is not normal.
