  • Patent number: 11593785
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a settlement apparatus includes a processor. The processor detects a state of the settlement apparatus related to execution of settlement processing at the settlement apparatus using a plurality of settlement methods. The processor determines, based on the detected state of the settlement apparatus, whether there is a first settlement method among the plurality of settlement methods which cannot be executed at the settlement processing apparatus. The processor then notifies a customer of settlement method information indicating the first settlement method cannot be executed at the settlement processing or that another settlement method, other than the first settlement method, can be executed at the settlement apparatus instead of the first settlement method.

  • Publication number: 20190023027
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a printer performs printing on a printable medium to be attached to a product. The printer includes: a memory; a display; and a controller. The controller detects an attribution item that differs between generated print data and print data that is recorded in the memory in association with input identification information. The controller displays print image of the printable medium on the display on the basis of the generated print data in such a way that the detected attribution item is highlighted.

  • Patent number: 9025816
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a first imaging section configured to image the holding surface of a holding platform on which an object is held from different directions, a recognition section configured to, read out the characteristics of the object image of a object contained in the first imaged image based on each of the first imaged images that are respectively imaged by the first imaging section from different directions and compare the read characteristics with the pre-stored characteristics of each object, thereby recognizing the object corresponding to the object image every first imaged image and a determination section configured to determine the recognition result of the object held on the holding platform based on the recognition result of the object image every first imaged image.
