Abstract
A store system includes a plurality of point-of-sale (POS) terminals each installed at a store; and an edge device connectable to the POS terminals via a store network for executing sales data processing on sales data generated by the POS terminals. The edge device includes a plurality of circuit boards, each of which can operate as a primary board or a secondary board and is configured to, when operating as the primary board: acquire a request for executing the sales data processing from a POS terminal, assign the sales data processing to another circuit board that is operating as the secondary board, and output a result of the sales data processing to the POS terminal.
Claims20
A store system comprising:
- a plurality of point-of-sale (POS) terminals each installed at a store;
- and
- an edge device connectable to the POS terminals via a store network for executing sales data processing on sales data generated by the POS terminals, wherein
- the edge device includes a plurality of circuit boards, each of which can operate as a primary board or a secondary board and is configured to, when operating as the primary board:
- acquire a request for executing the sales data processing from a POS terminal,
- assign the sales data processing to another circuit board that is operating as the secondary board, and
- output a result of the sales data processing to the POS terminal.
An edge device for executing sales data processing in response to a request from a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, the edge device comprising:
- a plurality of circuit boards, each of which can operate as a primary board or a secondary board and is configured to, when operating as the primary board:
- acquire a request for executing the sales data processing from the POS terminal,
- assign the sales data processing to another circuit board that is operating as the secondary board, and
- output a result of the sales data processing to the POS terminal.
A method performed by an edge device for executing sales data processing in response to a request from a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, the edge device including a plurality of circuit boards, each of which can operate as a primary board or a secondary board, the method comprising:
- by one of the circuit boards that is operating as the primary board,
- acquiring a request for executing the sales data processing from the POS terminal;
- assigning the sales data processing to another circuit board that is operating as the secondary board;
- and
- outputting a result of the sales data processing to the POS terminal.
