Abstract: A sales management system includes a registration device having a processor configured to perform commodity registration based on operation of a customer who purchases a commodity. The sales management system also includes a gate device having a processor configured to execute error processing in response to receiving, as an input, information indicating that payment for the commodity registered by the registration device is completed is not input when the customer passes the gate device. The processor of the registration device is also configured to receive stop information indicating that the customer stops shopping without purchasing the commodity output information for passing the gate device. The processor of the gate device is also configured to receive, as the input, the information for passing the gate device, and allow passage of the customer without executing the error processing.

Abstract: A sales area management system includes an accounting device and a gate device. The accounting device acquires transaction information and executes accounting processing based on the transaction information. The accounting device receives the number of people associated with the transaction information and outputs payment completion information along with the associated number of people. The gate device includes receives the payment completion information and the associated number of people and detects the number of customers passing through the gate device. A notification control unit of the gate device causes a notification unit to indicate the remaining number of people corresponding to the associated number of people minus the detected number of people passing the gate. The gate device outputs error information when the detected number exceeds the associated number of people for the transaction.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a transaction processing system includes a plurality of terminal devices, a transaction processing apparatus, and a management processing apparatus. The plurality of terminal devices includes a terminal device belonging to a first type and a terminal device belonging to a second type. The transaction processing apparatus performs concurrently a plurality of transaction processes for processing transactions in accordance with instructions from the plurality of terminal devices.

Abstract: A transaction processing system includes a register, a settlement calculator, a receiver, and a controller. The register is configured to receive a communication from a terminal used by a customer. The communication indicates that a target commodity is to be purchased by the customer at the terminal. The settlement calculator is configured to perform settlement processing to facilitate settlement by the customer for a price associated with the target commodity. The receiver is configured to determine whether the target commodity is a commodity requiring confirmation. The receiver is also configured to acquire data associated with the target commodity in response to determining that the target commodity is a commodity requiring confirmation. The controller configured to compare the data to predetermined release data and to cause the settlement calculator to perform the settlement processing in response to the data being the predetermined release data.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a shopping support apparatus includes a reader, a memory, and a processor. The processor causes the reader to read a data code, obtains store-specific setting information, and causes the memory to store control mode information included in the obtained setting information. The processor determines, on the basis of the control mode information of the setting information stored in the memory, whether to set a first mode for shopping support at the store as the control mode of the processor or set a second mode for a task restricted to an operation of an authorized person as the control mode of the processor.

Abstract: A transaction processing system includes at least one processor including a registering unit and a deleting unit. The at least one processor is configured to register, as purchased commodities, commodities designated by operation in an operation device in a terminal apparatus. The at least one processor is configured to delete, from the purchased commodities: in a first case in which a predetermined operation is performed in the operational device for designating one of the commodities on a list screen, in the display device, the list screen representing a list of the commodities registered as the purchased commodities by the at least one processor, wherein the commodity designated by the operation is deleted from the purchased commodities.

Abstract: A checkout system includes a store server including a first network interface, a first memory that stores payment information indicating payment methods accepted at a store, and a first processor configured to, upon receipt of a request from a customer terminal, control the first network interface to transmit the payment information to the customer terminal. The system also includes a registration server including a second network interface, a second memory, and a second processor configured to acquire the payment information from the customer terminal via the second network interface. Upon receipt of a commodity ID of a commodity from the customer terminal via the second network interface, the second processor registers the commodity ID in the second memory and, upon receipt of a request for checkout from the customer terminal, performs checkout processing using the registered commodity ID and the payment information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprising an information output unit configured to switch a plurality of languages at each given time interval while output a guidance information set by the plurality of languages, a response detection unit configured to detect a response to the guidance information when the guidance information is output while the languages are switched and a processing language determination unit configured to take the language which detect the response to the guidance information as a processing language.
