Abstract
A register system includes a first code scanner that includes a circuit configured to disable a security tag, a second code scanner that does not include the circuit, a data storage in which a product code is stored in association with a flag, for each product registered for sale, and a processor. The processor is configured to carry out purchase registration of a product based on a product code obtained through the second code scanner or cause a notification to be generated without carrying out the purchase registration of the product based on the product code obtained through the second code scanner, depending on a state of a flag associated with the obtained product code in the data storage.
Claims18
A register system comprising:
- a first code scanner that includes a circuit configured to disable a security tag;
- a second code scanner that does not include the circuit;
- a data storage in which a product code is stored in association with a flag, for each product registered for sale;
- and
- a processor configured to carry out purchase registration of a product based on a product code obtained through the second code scanner or cause a notification to be generated without carrying out the purchase registration of the product based on the product code obtained through the second code scanner, depending on a state of a flag associated with the obtained product code in the data storage.
A register system comprising:
- a code scanner that includes a circuit configured to disable a security tag;
- an operation panel;
- a data storage in which a product code is stored in association with a flag, for each product registered for sale;
- and
- a processor configured to carry out purchase registration of a product based on a product code input through the operation panel or cause a notification to be generated without carrying out the purchase registration of the product based on the product code input through the operation panel, depending on a state of a flag associated with the input product code in the data storage.
A method for carrying out purchase registration with a register system, comprising:
- storing, in a data storage, a product code in association with a flag for each product registered for sale;
- obtaining a product code of a product through code scanning by a code scanner or a code input on a control panel, without disabling a security tag attached to the product;
- when a flag associated with the obtained product code is in a first state in the data storage, processing purchase registration of the product based on the obtained product code;
- and
- when the flag associated with the obtained product code is in a second state different from the first state in the data storage, generating a notification without processing the purchase registration of the product based on the obtained product code.
