  • Publication number: 20090248532
    Abstract: A commodity sales data processor which acquires commodity information corresponding to a commodity code entered through a commodity code input part from a commodity data file and calculates an amount of payment based on a unit price included in the commodity information. It generates receipt data as receipt information including the acquired commodity information and the calculated amount of payment and sends the receipt data through a communication part to a web server. It receives, from the web server, the URL of a web page in which the receipt data sent through the communication part is described in a form displayable with a mobile phone's browser function, and generates a code symbol as a description of the received URL and shows it on a customer display unit.
