Abstract: A server for providing nutrition data to a user includes a communication interface, a memory, and a processor. The server receives from a user device a request for nutrition information of food and drink purchased by the user and user identification. The server determines a time period of the requested nutrition information. The server retrieves receipt data corresponding to the user identification and determined time period. The receipt data includes a first data for identifying the food and drink purchased by the user. The server also retrieves nutrition data corresponding to the foods and drink purchased by the user. The server generates and sends to the user device an image data that includes the nutrition.

Abstract: A server for providing nutrition data to a user includes a communication interface, a memory, and a processor. The server receives from a user device a request for nutrition information of food and drink purchased by the user and user identification. The server retrieves receipt data corresponding to the user identification including a first data for identifying the food and drink purchased by the user. The server also retrieves nutrition data corresponding to the foods and drink purchased by the user. The server then calculates a revised nutrition value based on dividing a value of the nutrition data corresponding to the foods and drink purchased by the user by the person count number. The server generates and sends to the user device an image data that includes the revised nutrition value.

Abstract: A point of sale apparatus includes a scanner for scanning a code on a commodity, a communication interface, and a processor. The apparatus retrieves commodity data based on the scanned code, the commodity data including a name and a price of the commodity. The processor generates a first receipt information based at least on the retrieved commodity data. The first receipt information is transmitted to a printer for printing a paper receipt that includes the name and price of the commodity. The processor converts the first receipt information to a second receipt information having a different format from the first receipt information. The apparatus retrieves classification data corresponding to the commodity based on the second receipt information, the classification data including data not included in the first receipt information. A storage unit stores the classification data in correspondence with the second receipt information.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a terminal device includes a display, an communication interface, a memory and a controller. The communication interface receives extended receipt information that identifies a commodity subject to a transaction and a classification data for classifying the commodity. The memory stores the extended receipt information, a commodity image data representing the commodity, and at least one of a plurality of screen data each representing a different possible virtual management location of the commodity. The controller determines a specific virtual management location of the commodity from the different possible virtual management locations based on the classification data, and controls the display to display the commodity image included in a screen based on the screen data corresponding to the determined specific virtual management location of the commodity.

Abstract: A method of managing a mixed injection preparation process includes obtaining a mixed injection preparation instruction (e.g., a prescription) and obtaining information about a drug to be potentially included in the mixed injection according to the preparation instruction. The information about the candidate drug is compared to the preparation instruction and a determination as to whether the mixed injection is prepared in accordance with the mixed injection preparation instruction is made based on the information obtained about the candidate drug. A printer is used to print a label indicating whether the mixed injection is prepared in accordance with the mixed injection preparation instruction, and then it is determined whether the label is removed from the printer.
