Abstract: A register system includes a display screen and a communication interface connectable to a settlement processing apparatus at which a payment process associated with a commodity sales transaction can be performed. A processor is configured to receive data from the settlement processing apparatus indicating a current stage of the payment process as one of a plurality of predetermined possible stages in the payment process. The processor controls the display screen to display a settlement process state image for indicating the current stage of the payment process. The settlement process state image includes image regions corresponding to each of the predetermined possible stages in the payment process. The processor changes a display format of an image region corresponding to the current stage of the payment process according to the received data from the settlement processing apparatus.

Abstract: A point-of-sale (POS) terminal includes a change machine, a receipt printer, a display device, and a processor configured to receive from the change machine, first inventory data relating to stored banknotes and coins in the change machine, and receive from the printer, second inventory data indicating a remaining amount of stored receipt sheet in the printer, and control the display device to display on one screen, an inventory image including a first image representative of the first inventory data and a second image representative of the second inventory data.

Abstract: A registration device receives an input of information relating to an attribute of a settler, and transmits information to a network by adding the input received information relating to the attribute of the settler to accounting data. A settlement device detects the information relating to the attribute of the settler which is added to the accounting data received via the network. Based on the detected information relating to the attribute of the settler, the settlement device changes a settlement image to an image suitable for the attribute of the settler, and causes a display device to display the changed image.

Abstract: A checkout system includes a registration apparatus and a settlement apparatus. The registration apparatus generates a settlement data required for a transaction settlement, adds information for specifying an operation mode thereof to the settlement data and transmits the settlement data to which the information is added to a network. The settlement apparatus receives the settlement data transmitted through the network, sets the operation mode thereof to the same operation mode as the registration apparatus based on the information added to the settlement data and performs a settlement processing according to the settlement data in the set operation mode.

Abstract: A checkout system includes a registration apparatus that generates a settlement data necessary for settlement of a transaction, and a settlement apparatus that performs a settlement processing based on the settlement data transmitted from the registration apparatus through a network. The settlement apparatus monitors whether the registration apparatus is in an operating state or a non-operating state. The settlement apparatus operates in a link mode in which the settlement apparatus is linked to the registration apparatus if the registration apparatus is in the operating state, or operates in a stand-alone mode in which the settlement apparatus is not linked to the registration apparatus if the registration apparatus is in the non-operating state.

Abstract: A payment apparatus is configured to perform a payment processing for a payment related to a commercial transaction. A discharge unit discharges an article after the end of the payment processing. A sensor determines whether the article which is discharged has been removed. A controller determines whether the article which has not been removed is forgotten based on one or more predetermined conditions. A memory unit stores a transaction code identifying the commercial transaction and the article determined to be forgotten. An input device receives input of the transaction code. The discharge unit discharges the article determined to be forgotten that is identified in the input transaction code.
