Abstract
A transaction system includes a commodity registration machine and a check-out machine. The commodity registration machine includes an input device and a processor. The processor determines whether or not whether or not a predetermined condition for permitting check-out processing at the commodity registration machine is satisfied. The processor enables the input device to accept selection of either one of the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine or the check-out processing at the check-out machine if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied.
Claims10
A transaction system, comprising:
- a commodity registration machine that performs registration processing of acquiring commodity determination information for determining a commodity, which is an object to be subjected to check-out processing in a commodity transaction, and generating registration information including data regarding the commodity according to the acquired commodity determination information for the check-out processing;
- and
- a check-out machine that performs check-out processing of the commodity on a basis of the registration information generated by the commodity registration machine,
- the commodity registration machine including
- a scanner that reads the commodity determination information from the commodity for acquiring the commodity determination information,
- a first input device that accepts an instruction to start the registration processing,
- a first communication device that communicates with an external computer to be connected to be communicable with the check-out machine or the check-out machine, and
- a first processor that
- determines, after the instruction to start the registration processing is accepted, whether or not a predetermined condition for permitting the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine is satisfied,
- generates, after the instruction to start the registration processing is accepted, the registration information of the commodity according to the commodity determination information read by the scanner,
- enables the first input device to accept selection of either one of the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine or the check-out processing at the check-out machine if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied,
- performs check-out processing on a basis of the generated registration information if the first input device accepts selection of the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine, and
- causes the first communication device to send the generated registration information to the external computer or the check-out machine if it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied and if selection of the check-out processing at the check-out machine is accepted by the first input device, and
- the check-out machine including
- a second communication device that receives the registration information generated by the first processor,
- a second input device that accepts an instruction to perform check-out processing with respect to the commodity, and
- a second processor that performs check-out processing on a basis of the registration information received by the second communication device if the second input device accepts the instruction to perform check-out processing.
A commodity registration machine that performs registration processing of acquiring commodity determination information for determining a commodity, which is an object to be subjected to check-out processing of a check-out machine in a commodity transaction, and generating registration information including data regarding the commodity according to the acquired commodity determination information for the check-out processing, comprising:
- a scanner that reads the commodity determination information from the commodity for acquiring the commodity determination information;
- an input device that accepts an instruction to start the registration processing;
- a communication device that communicates with an external computer to be connected to be communicable with the check-out machine or the check-out machine;
- and
- a first processor that
- determines, after the instruction to start the registration processing is accepted, whether or not a predetermined condition for permitting the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine is satisfied,
- generates, after the instruction to start the registration processing is accepted, the registration information of the commodity according to the commodity determination information read by the scanner,
- enables the input device to accept selection of either one of the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine or the check-out processing at the check-out machine if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied,
- performs check-out processing on a basis of the generated registration information if selection of the check-out processing at the commodity registration machine is accepted by the input device, and
- causes the communication device to send the generated registration information to the external computer or the check-out machine if it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied and if selection of the check-out processing at the check-out machine is accepted by the input device.
