determining, based on an image recognition technique, that the plurality of taken out simultaneously comprise different commodities; storing a quantity of the plurality of commodities taken out simultaneously; reading information of a plurality of commodities for a number of times that the quantity of commodities that are taken out simultaneously have been stored; determining that the plurality of commodities read information comprise identical commodities; and based on the determination that the plurality of taken out commodities comprise different commodities, and the determination that the plurality of commodities read information comprise identical commodities, notifying an alert, wherein notifying the alert prevents the transaction from being a fraudulent transaction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The self-service commodity sales data processing device according to claim 1, further comprising: executing a commodity registration process for the different commodities. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The self-service commodity sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the image recognition technique comprises a general recognition technique. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The self-service commodity sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the self-service commodity sales data processing device further comprises a lamp for notifying an attendant, the operations notifying the alarm by emitting a patrol lamp. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The self-service commodity sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the self-service commodity sales data processing device further comprises a camera. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The self-service commodity sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the self-service commodity sales data processing device further comprises a scanner. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The self-service commodity sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the operations notifying the alarm by transmitting an alert information to an attendant PC monitored for an attendant so that the alert information is displayed thereon. ### Claim 8 A method performed by a self-service commodity sales data processing device, comprising: determining, during a transaction, that a plurality of commodities are taken out simultaneously based on an image of a commodity taken out from a commodity placing location; determining, based on an image recognition technique, that the plurality of commodities taken out simultaneously comprise different commodities; storing a quantity of the plurality of commodities taken out simultaneously; reading information of a plurality of commodities for a number of times that the quantity of commodities that are taken out simultaneously have been stored; determining that the plurality of commodities read information comprise identical commodities; and based on the determination that the plurality of taken out commodities comprise different commodities, and the determination that the plurality of commodities read information comprise identical commodities, notifying an alert, wherein notifying the alert prevents the transaction from being a fraudulent transaction. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, further comprising: executing a commodity registration process of the plurality of commodities if it is determined that the commodities are different commodities. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the image recognition technique comprises a general recognition technique. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, further comprising: notifying an attendant using a lamp; and notifying the alarm by emitting a patrol lamp. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, further comprising: notifying the alarm by transmitting an alert information to an attendant PC monitored for an attendant so that the alert information is displayed thereon. ### Claim 13 A self-service point of sale terminal, comprising at least one processor coupled to at least a memory that stores machine readable instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising: determining, during a transaction, that a plurality of commodities are taken out simultaneously based on an image of a commodity taken out from a commodity placing location; determining, based on an image recognition technique, that the plurality of commodities taken out simultaneously comprise different commodities; storing a quantity of the plurality of commodities taken out simultaneously; reading information of a plurality of commodities for a number of times that the quantity of commodities that are taken out simultaneously have been stored; determining that the plurality of commodities read information comprise identical commodities; and based on the determination that the plurality of taken out commodities comprise different commodities, and the determination that the plurality of commodities read information comprise identical commodities, notifying an alert, wherein notifying the alert prevents the transaction from being a fraudulent transaction. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The self-service point of sale terminal according to claim 13, further comprising: executing by the self-service point sales terminal, a commodity registration process for the different commodities. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The self-service point of sale terminal according to claim 13, wherein the image recognition technique comprises a general recognition technique. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The self-service point of sale terminal according to claim 13, wherein the self-service commodity sales data processing device further comprises a lamp for notifying an attendant, the operations notifying the alarm by emitting a patrol lamp ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The self-service point of sale terminal according to claim 13, wherein the self-service point of sale terminal further comprises a camera. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The self-service point of sale terminal according to claim 13, wherein the self-service point of sale terminal further comprises a scanner. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The self-service point of sale terminal according to claim 13, wherein the operations notifying the alarm by transmitting an alert information to an attendant PC monitored for an attendant so that the alert information is displayed thereon.
