Abstract
A data processing apparatus includes a first interface to which a device which reads data is connected, a second interface to which a terminal apparatus is connected, an identification information transmission unit that transmits identification information to the terminal apparatus, and a control unit that when the data read by the device is input to the first interface, determines an association of the device and the terminal apparatus based on a correspondence of the read data and the identification information transmitted to the terminal apparatus.
Claims17
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a first interface to which a device which reads data is connected;
- a second interface to which a terminal apparatus is connected;
- an identification information transmission unit configured to transmit identification information to the terminal apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine an association of the device and the terminal apparatus based on a correspondence of the read data and the identification information transmitted to the terminal apparatus when the data read by the device is input to the first interface.
A POS system comprising:
- a device configured to read data and to transmit the data;
- a terminal apparatus configured to transmit terminal information, and
- a data processing apparatus that includes:
- a first interface to which the device is connected and is configured to receive the data transmitted by the device;
- an identification information transmission unit configured to transmit identification information to the terminal apparatus;
- a second interface to which the terminal apparatus is connected;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine an association of the device and the terminal apparatus based on the data transmitted from the device and the identification information transmitted to the terminal apparatus.
A control method of a POS system comprising:
- transmitting identification information from a data processing apparatus to a terminal apparatus;
- receiving the transmitted identification information at the terminal apparatus and displaying the same on the terminal apparatus;
- enabling a device to read the displayed identification information;
- acquiring read data including the identification information which is read by the device, at the data processing apparatus, and
- determining an association of the terminal apparatus and the device, based on the identification information included in the acquired read data.
