Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires transaction information in which consumer identification information for identifying a consumer is associated with individual item identification information indicating an individual item of a commodity purchased by the consumer in a transaction; a management unit that manages, for an individual consumer, the transaction information acquired by the acquisition unit; a receipt information output unit that outputs, based on the transaction information managed by the management unit, receipt information presented as a receipt to the consumer; a reception unit that receives event information indicating contents of an event targeting a commodity; and a specifying unit that specifies the consumer identification information, corresponding to the individual item identification information of an individual item which is a target of the event information received by the reception unit, with reference to the transaction information managed by

Abstract: A wireless tag reading apparatus for reading tag information stored in a wireless tag attached to an item, includes a stage on which the item can be placed, one or more antennas movable between first and second positions, a camera facing the stage, and a controller configured to control the camera to capture images and detect an object therein, control the antennas to transmit radio waves to a wireless tag and move the antennas, wherein the transmitting and the moving are repeated while the antennas move from the first position to the second position during a tag reading period, acquire tag information from response waves transmitted by the wireless tag in response to the radio waves, based on the captured images, determine whether the object has moved during the tag reading period, and upon determining that the object has moved during the tag reading period, issue a notification.

Abstract: A reading apparatus includes a mechanism to move an antenna between first and second positions, and a controller configured to: (a) control the antenna to transmit radio waves to wireless tags each attached to an object when the antenna is between the first and second positions; acquire, from response waves, information registered in each tag and indicating attributes of the object and the tag, and signal values of the response waves; and calculate an estimated position of each tag and a reliability level thereof based on the values. When the level of the position of a tag is less than a threshold or when the information of a tag indicates an attribute that can affect radio communications, the controller performs step (a) again, acquires signal values of response waves received from the tag, and calculates an estimated position of the tag and a reliability level thereof based on the values.

Abstract: A wireless tag reading device has an accommodation region with a bottom surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, and a back surface. The accommodation region can accommodate therein a product with a wireless tag attached thereto. The product can be inserted and withdrawn from the accommodation region via an opening at the front and top of the accommodation region. A tag reading unit includes an antenna configured to emit radio waves toward the product in the accommodation region and then receive a response signal. The outside portions of the first side surface, the second side surface, and the back surface reflect radio waves. An inside portion of the back surface is a radio wave transmitting material. There is a gap left between the inside portion and the outside portion of the back surface portion.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a radio tag reading device includes: a body portion including a radio tag reading unit that reads a radio tag; a grip portion detachably connected to the body portion; a magnet provided in the grip portion; a magnet detection unit provided in the body portion and configured to detect magnetism generated by the magnet; a state detection unit configured to detect a state of the grip portion based on the magnetism detected by the magnet detection unit; and a reading control unit configured to control the radio tag reading unit.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a wireless tag reader includes a first shield member, a second shield member, an antenna, and a reader. The first and second shield members face each other across a reading area through which a wireless tag can pass. Each of the first and second shield members has a reflective surface that reflects a radio wave incident thereon toward the reading area. The antenna is between the reading area and the reflective surface of one of the first and second shield members. The antenna radiates and receives radio waves to communicate with the wireless tag. The reader reads data stored in the wireless tag based on radio waves received from the wireless tag by the antenna.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a sales data processing apparatus has a first and a second antennas, and a processor. The first antenna receives, from a wireless tag attached to a commodity, tag information to uniquely identify the relevant commodity. The second antenna receives the tag information from the wireless tag recovered by a recovery device. The processor judges whether the wireless tag attached to the commodity is a wireless tag required to be detached from the commodity, based on the tag information received by the first antenna. The processor judges whether the second antenna has received the tag information of the wireless tag which is judged to be the wireless tag required to be detached from the commodity.

Abstract: A sidewall supports, in a cantilever state, a sheet holding shaft for holding a label sheet wound in a roll shape and positions a first end face, which is one end face, of the label sheet inserted over the sheet holding shaft. A roll paper holding mechanism that presses a second end face, which is the other end face, of the label sheet, has a first arm, a second arm, and a spring. The first arm projects from the sidewall and rotatably supports the second arm at an end thereof. The spring connects the first arm and the second arm and urges and pulls the second arm. The second arm comes into contact with the second end face of the label sheet in a process of being pulled to rotate and holds the label sheet in conjunction with the sidewall functioning as a reference plane.
