Transaction processing system, input processing apparatus, settlement apparatus, and program recording medium

A settlement apparatus in a transaction processing system comprising an input processing apparatus configured to create settlement information necessary for settlement of a transaction with a customer based on input data, and three or more settlement apparatuses configured to execute settlement processing of the transaction based on the settlement information, wherein a transfer order of the settlement information is set for each of the three or more settlement apparatuses, wherein

• the settlement apparatus comprises:
• a confirmation notification unit configured to notify the input processing apparatus of a state confirmation of a transmission destination settlement apparatus set as a transmission destination;
• and
• a change notification unit configured to notify the input processing apparatus of a transmission destination change in a case where a state confirmation result of the transmission destination settlement apparatus responded to by the input processing apparatus in response to notification of the state confirmation satisfies a transmission destination change condition of the settlement information.

• the input processing apparatus comprises:
• a creation unit configured to create the settlement information based on input data;
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the settlement information to a transmission destination settlement apparatus set as a transmission destination among the three or more settlement apparatuses;
• a state confirmation unit configured to perform a state confirmation of the transmission destination settlement apparatus;
• and
• a change unit configured to change a transmission destination of the settlement information to another settlement apparatus other than the transmission destination settlement apparatus upon receipt of a notification of transmission destination change from the another settlement apparatus.

A program recording medium recording a program for causing a computer of an input processing apparatus constituting a transaction processing system, in combination with three or more settlement apparatuses configured to execute settlement processing of a transaction based on settlement information necessary for settlement of a transaction with a customer, to function as:

• a creation unit that creates the settlement information based on input data;
