  • Publication number: 20230021932
    Abstract: A server system of an embodiment for transaction processing includes a virtual point-of-sale server to register data of a customer transaction based on data received from a first terminal operated by the customer in a selling area and a management server. The management server generates a machine-readable code including information for acquiring the transaction data and an electronic settlement method. The management server transmits the machine-readable code to the first terminal upon receiving a checkout instruction. Upon receiving information for acquiring the transaction data from a second terminal, the management server acquires the transaction data from the virtual point-of-sale server, and processes an electronic payment if the information regarding the electronic settlement method is received from the second terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230016155
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing device for product registration and checkout systems includes, a communication interface and a memory unit storing one or more capture conditions. A processor of the device is configured to check whether a registration of a commodity in a sales transaction satisfies a capture condition stored in the memory unit and output an instruction for capturing an image of the commodity if the registration satisfies the capture condition. The processor acquires an image of the commodity that was captured based on the instruction, and outputs the acquired image to an external apparatus via the communication interface.
