Point-of-sales terminal, failure information display method and failure information display program

A failure information display method comprising the steps of:

• detecting a failure of hardware or software constituting the points-of-sales terminal;
• storing, for each of failures to be detected by the detection section, a failure level indicating the degree of difficulty in responding to the failure;
• accepting, for each of the failures to be detected by the detection section, setting of a failure response level indicating the degree of possibility of responding to the failure;
• when a failure is detected by the detection section, determining whether or not the detected failure is a failure to be responded to, based on comparison with a failure level corresponding to the failure and a failure response level set for the failure;
• and
• displaying information corresponding to the result of the determination.

A failure information display program which causes a computer to perform the steps of:

• detecting a failure of hardware or software constituting the points-of-sales terminal;
• storing, for each of failures to be detected by the detection section, a failure level indicating the degree of difficulty in responding to the failure;
• accepting, for each of the failures to be detected by the detection section, setting of a failure response level indicating the degree of possibility of responding to the failure;
• when a failure is detected by the detection section, determining whether or not the detected failure is a failure to be responded to, based on comparison with a failure level corresponding to the failure and a failure response level set for the failure;
• and
• displaying information corresponding to the result of the determination.
