Abstract: According to one embodiment, a point-of-sale system has a server connectable to a plurality of point-of-sale terminals. The server includes a storage unit configured to store transaction information of the plurality of point-of-sale terminals and a processor. The processor is configured to acquire, from a first terminal in the plurality of point-of-sale terminals, a designation of a second terminal in the plurality of point-of-sale terminals, and output transaction information of the second terminal from the storage unit to the first terminal to permit the first terminal to continue a transaction started by the second terminal.

Abstract: A terminal management device includes an acquisition unit, a detection unit, and a restriction unit. The acquisition unit acquires status information indicating the operating condition of the mobile terminal operated by a customer used for purchase processing of a commodity. The detection unit detects an error condition of the mobile terminal based on the status information acquired by the acquisition unit. The restriction unit restricts the purchase processing by the mobile terminal according to the number of error conditions of the mobile terminal detected by the detection unit.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a point-of-sale terminal, a store server, and an edge gateway connected to a first network. The store server can receive transaction data from the point-of-sale terminal and perform transaction processing. The edge gateway also receives the transaction data and can forward the data to a cloud-based server connected to a second network and to perform transaction processing based on the transaction data. The edge gateway monitors a state of the second network, sends the transaction data to the cloud-based server for transaction processing when the second network is operational, causes the store server to perform transaction processing when the second network is non-operational, and sends the transaction data to the cloud-based server for transaction processing and also causes the store server to perform transaction processing during a re-synchronization process after the second network becomes operational after being non-operational.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an information processing apparatus is carried by an operator inside and outside a predetermined area and processes information for a transaction in accordance with an operation of the operator inside the predetermined area. The information processing apparatus determines an identifier input by an input device as an identifier of a transaction target when it has been detected that the operator is present inside the predetermined area and a movement of the operator has not been detected.
