Abstract
A data processing apparatus includes a first interface to which a device which reads data is connected, a second interface to which a terminal apparatus is connected, an identification information transmission unit that transmits identification information to the terminal apparatus, and a control unit that when the data read by the device is input to the first interface, determines an association of the device and the terminal apparatus based on a correspondence of the read data and the identification information transmitted to the terminal apparatus.
Claims8
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a first interface configured to be connected to a device, wherein the device includes a barcode scanner configured to read data in the form of barcodes;
- a second interface configured to be connected to a terminal apparatus, wherein the terminal apparatus includes a display;
- an identification information transmission unit which transmits identification information to the terminal apparatus to be displayed on the display;
- and
- a control unit that receives read data, read by the barcode scanner, at the first interface and determines an association of the device and the terminal apparatus based on a correspondence of the read data and the identification information transmitted to the terminal apparatus.
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a first interface configured to be connected to first and second devices, wherein the devices each include barcode scanners configured to read barcodes;
- a second interface configured to be connected to a terminal apparatus including a display;
- an identification information transmission unit which transmits an identification code to the terminal apparatus to be displayed on the display of the terminal apparatus in the form of a barcode;
- and
- a control unit which receives read data from each of the first and second devices, and in response to receiving read data from the first or second device matching the identification code transmitted to the terminal apparatus, determines an association between the device from which the matching read data is received and the terminal apparatus.
