Abstract
A settlement device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: accept a selection of one of a first process of acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered using a terminal device used by a customer and a second process of acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered by the settlement device having a registration function of registering the commodity through an operation of a customer; and perform the selected first or second process and perform settlement for a price using the acquired settlement information.
Claims7
A settlement device comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- a code scanner;
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- display, on the touch screen display, a settlement mode selection screen for selecting either a first process or a second process,
- wherein the first process comprises acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered using a terminal device used by a customer, and
- wherein the second process comprises acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered by the settlement device, the settlement device having a registration function of registering the commodity through an operation of the customer,
- wherein, in a case where the first process is selected, the settlement mode selection screen requests at least one of:
- (i) reading, using the code scanner, of a first code displayed on the terminal device;
- and
- (ii) reading, using the terminal device, of a second code displayed on the settlement device, and
- wherein, in a case where the second process is selected, the settlement mode selection screen prompts to start reading of a commodity code using the code scanner;
- and
- wherein, in a case where the second process is selected, the at least one processor is further configured to:
- display, on the touch screen display, a commodity reading screen requesting reading of a commodity code using the code scanner;
- in response to the commodity code being read, switch the commodity reading screen to a commodity registration screen;
- in response to completion of reading of the commodity code and acquisition of the settlement information, display a payment method selection screen on the touch screen display;
- accept a selection of a payment method from the payment method selection screen;
- and
- perform settlement for a price at the settlement device using the acquired settlement information and the selected payment method.
A settlement method comprising:
- displaying, on a touch screen display, a settlement mode selection screen for selecting either a first process or a second process,
- wherein the first process comprises acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered using a terminal device used by a customer, and
- wherein the second process comprises acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered by a settlement device, the settlement device having a registration function of registering the commodity through an operation of the customer,
- wherein, in a case where the first process is selected, the settlement mode selection screen requests at least one of:
- (i) reading, using the code scanner, of a first code displayed on the terminal device;
- and
- (ii) reading, using the terminal device, of a second code displayed on the settlement device, and
- wherein, in a case where the second process is selected, the settlement mode selection screen prompts to start reading of a commodity code using the code scanner;
- and
- wherein, in a case where the second process is selected, the method further comprising:
- displaying, on the touch screen display, a commodity reading screen requesting reading of a commodity code using the code scanner, and
- in response to the commodity code being read, switching the commodity reading screen to a commodity registration screen;
- in response to completion of reading of the commodity code and acquisition of the settlement information, displaying a payment method selection screen on the touch screen display;
- accepting a selection of a payment method from the payment method selection screen;
- and
- performing settlement for a price at the settlement device using the acquired settlement information and the selected payment method.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that records a program causing a settlement device to execute the processing of:
- displaying, on a touch screen display, a settlement mode selection screen for selecting either a first process or a second process,
- wherein the first process comprises acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered using a terminal device used by a customer, and
- wherein the second process comprises acquiring settlement information of a commodity registered by the settlement device, the settlement device having a registration function of registering the commodity through an operation of the customer,
- wherein, in a case where the first process is selected, the settlement mode selection screen requests at least one of:
- (i) reading, using the code scanner, of a first code displayed on the terminal device;
- and
- (ii) reading, using the terminal device, of a second code displayed on the settlement device, and
- wherein, in a case where the second process is selected, the settlement mode selection screen prompts to start reading of a commodity code using the code scanner;
- and
- wherein, in a case where the second process is selected, the settlement device further executes processing of:
- displaying, on the touch screen display, a commodity reading screen requesting reading of a commodity code using the code scanner;
- in response to the commodity code being read, switching the commodity reading screen to a commodity registration screen;
- in response to completion of reading of the commodity code and acquisition of the settlement information, displaying a payment method selection screen on the touch screen display;
- accepting a selection of a payment method from the payment method selection screen;
- and
- performing settlement for a price at the settlement device using the acquired settlement information and the selected payment method.
