Abstract
A solution according to the present invention includes an identifier determination unit that determines, when one terminal is set on one terminal stand, whether or not an identifier stored by the one terminal is redundantly stored by another terminal, and when the identifier determination unit determines that the identifier is not redundantly stored, the one terminal is permitted to be used with the identifier.
Claims9
An order system comprising:
- a plurality of terminals capable of transmitting order data;
- a plurality of terminal stands each being provided with an identifier, connecting, upon having one terminal of the plurality of terminals set on the terminal stand, to the one terminal, and causing the one terminal to store the identifier;
- and
- a control apparatus that receives the identifier transmitted from each of the terminals and receives the order data transmitted from each of the terminals in association with the identifier,
- the terminal stands and the terminals set on the terminal stands being able to be in any combination,
- the order system further comprising:
- an identifier determination unit that determines, when the one terminal is set on one of the terminal stands, whether or not the identifier stored by the one terminal is redundantly stored by another terminal;
- and
- an in-progress order operation determination unit that determines, when the identifier determination unit determines that the identifier is redundantly stored, whether or not an order operation using the other terminal is in progress, wherein
- when the in-progress order operation determination unit determines that the order operation is not in progress, a message indicating that the other terminal is to be set on any of the terminal stands is displayed on the other terminal and use of the other terminal is disabled, and the one terminal is permitted to be used with the identifier.
