Abstract: According to one embodiment, a reading device is configured to read information from an RFID tag attached to a product. The reading device includes a housing, an antenna, an opening-and-closing lid, a detector, a reading unit, and an alert unit. The housing includes an opening portion, and therein a space for accommodating the product. The antenna is provided within the space. The opening-and-closing lid is opening and closing the opening portion. The detector is configured to detect an open or closed state of the opening-and-closing lid. The reading unit is configured to read the information from the RFID tag. The alert unit is configured to issue an alert on an operation method in accordance with the open or closed state of the opening-and-closing lid and an operation state of the reading unit.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a POS device includes a housing, a cover, a first detector, and a first driving mechanism. The housing includes an accommodation chamber configured to accommodate a product to which an RFID tag is attached, an opening portion for putting the product into the accommodation chamber being formed in the housing. The cover is configured to open and close the opening portion. The first detector is configured to detect whether a person is present near the housing. The first driving mechanism is configured to transition the cover from a closed state in which the cover closes the opening portion to an open state in which the cover opens the opening portion, based on the detection of the person by the first detector.
