Abstract: According to one embodiment, a reading apparatus is arranged between an operator and a customer face-to-face standing. The reading apparatus includes a main body, a first image capturing section for the operator, a second image capturing section for the customer, and a processing section, an output section. The first image capturing section is arranged at the main body and photographs a commodity. The second image capturing section is arranged at the main body and photographs the customer-holding object. The processing section executes sales registration. The output section acquires images captured by the first and second image capturing sections to output the images to the processing section. When transaction starting is instructed, the output section acquires the images captured by the first and second image capturing sections and adds an identifier to each image to be output to the processing section. The identifier represents a source capturing an image.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a commodity reading apparatus comprises an image capturing section, an extraction module, a measurement module, a determination module and an identification module. The image capturing section photographs a commodity to capture an image of the commodity. The extraction module extracts an appearance feature amount of the commodity from the image of the commodity captured by the image capturing section. The measurement module measures a distance from the image capturing section to the commodity photographed. The determination module determines the size of the commodity based on the distance measured by the measurement module and the size of the commodity in the image. The identification module recognizes the commodity based on the appearance feature amount extracted by the extraction module and the size determined by the determination module.

Abstract: A printer includes an upper unit which opens and closes about a fulcrum lying at a rear position of a lower unit, and a paper path which is opened by opening the upper unit. A sensor unit is attached to the lower unit and includes a lower sensor holder and an upper sensor holder which are disposed in opposition to each other via the paper path. The paper path can be opened by pivoting the upper sensor holder relative to the lower sensor holder. When the upper unit is closed, the upper sensor holder is also closed in accordance with a closing pivoting motion of the upper unit.
