Abstract: In one embodiment, an information processing apparatus is mountable on and demountable from a docking station, and has an input device, an acquisition unit to acquire information indicating an operator for user authentication, and a processor. When the apparatus is mounted on the docking station, the processor permits acceptance of the operation input by the input device, without starting up the acquisition unit. When the apparatus is demounted from the docking station, the processor starts up the acquisition unit, and performs user authentication based on the information indicating the operator which has been acquired by the started up acquisition unit. When the operator is approved as a specific operator of the information processing apparatus, as a result of the user authentication, the processor permits acceptance of the operation input by the input device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a commodity sales data processing apparatus includes a portable data processing terminal with a first connector and a touch panel. A docking station has a second connector which connects to the first connector and performs transmission and/or reception of information between the data processing terminal and the docking station, when the data processing terminal is connected to the docking station. A connection mechanism connects the data processing terminal and the docking station in a separable state. A lock mechanism locks connection by the connection mechanism, so as to make the connection by the connection mechanism from in the separable state to in an inseparable state, and releases locking of the connection by the connection mechanism when a specific key operation is performed.

Abstract: A tablet terminal is possible to select any one of a plurality of docking stations on the condition that it can be detached from the docking station. The tablet terminal sends printing data of a receipt to the selected docking station. When receiving the printing data of the receipt from the tablet terminal, the docking station outputs the printing data to a printer to issue the receipt.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, includes an operation surface section, a card reader provided on one side of the operation surface section and configured to read card information, and an operation button provided near the card reader on the operation surface section and recessing a predetermined dimension from the operation surface section.

Abstract: A copy button is pushed to output image data to an external storage medium, such as a USB memory. Then, a process for writing the image data in the USB memory is executed, and an image corresponding to the image data is printed. When the printed image is light, a density controlling button is pushed, and then, the copy button is pushed again. The image data is called up from a RAM, and a process for causing a density of the image data to be darker is executed, via a tone translator of the electronic blackboard. The image data on which image density control has been executed is written over the data previously stored in the USB memory.

Abstract: A writing medium includes a board surface on which drawing is executed. A reader reads a drawing object drawn on the writing medium. A power supply switch is located at a front side of an electronic blackboard to execute an on/off operation of the electronic blackboard. A data port is located right above the power supply switch to output the read drawing data to a removable exterior storage medium.

Abstract: Each of side grippers that function as a film gripper includes upper and lower openable clampers. These clampers are designed to hold an edge portion of a film, and are opened after film packaging is completed. At least one film contact member, out of two film contact members that are attached individually to the upper and lower clampers, is formed of a cowhide, a material having a property such that a frictional force between the contact member and the film increases to and stays at a certain level as the humidity around the film rises. With use of the film contact member made of the hide, the film gripping force can be restrained from decreasing and the film-releasability can be improved despite the increase of the humidity.
