Abstract
A mobile terminal is provided. A scanner unit reads code information attached to a commodity. A RAM stores the code information read by the scanner unit as commodity-for-purchase information. The scanner unit, to confirm whether the commodity-for-purchase information stored in the RAM is correct, the scanner unit reads the code information of one part of the commodity-for-purchase. A CPU switches from reading for storage to reading for confirmation. It is determined whether information contained in the code information read by the scanner unit is stored in the RAM. A display displays a result of the determination.
Claims8
A mobile terminal in a commodity sale processing system whereby a customer visiting a store reads code information corresponding to a commodity, and performs checkout by using a register device based on the code information that was read, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a reading device that reads the code information attached to the commodity;
- a storage device that stores the code information read by the reading device as commodity-for-purchase information;
- a switching device that switches reading performed by the reading device from reading for storing in the storage unit to reading code information of one part of the commodity-for-purchase to confirm whether or not commodity-for-purchase information stored in the storage device is correct;
- a determining device that determines whether code information that was read to confirm whether or not commodity-for-purchase information is correct is stored in the storage device;
- and
- a reporting device that reports a result of the determining device.
A commodity sale processing system comprising:
- a mobile terminal including a reading device that reads the code information attached to the commodity;
- a storage device that stores the code information read by the reading device as commodity-for-purchase information;
- a confirming device that, to confirm whether or not commodity-for-purchase information stored in the storage device is correct, reads code information of one part of the commodity-for-purchase;
- a switching device that switches from reading for storing in the storage unit to reading by the confirming device;
- a determining device that determines whether code information that was read by the confirming device is stored in the storage device;
- a reporting device that reports a result of the determining device;
- and
- a register device that performs checkout based on commodity codes read by the mobile terminal when manipulated by a customer.
A register device in a commodity sale processing system whereby a customer reads code information corresponding to a commodity by manipulating a mobile terminal, stores the code information that was read as commodity-for-purchase information, transfers the stored commodity-for-purchase information to the register device, and performs checkout at the register device, the register device comprising:
- a registration-information storage device that stores transferred commodity-for-purchase information;
- a determining device that determines whether the code information of one part of the commodity-for-purchase read by the mobile terminal to confirm whether or not commodity-for-purchase information transferred to the register device is correct is stored in the registration-information storage device;
- and
- a reporting device that reports a result of the determining device.
