  • Electronic data transmission in an electronic receipt system with reduced data traffic
    Patent number: 11823157
    Abstract: A point-of-sale terminal includes a storage device in which first form data specifying a first image layout of image elements on a paper slip to be printed by the printer is stored, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether or not a promotion is offered, and determine whether or not an electronic receipt is issued. The processor is further configured to control a printer to print an image indicating the promotion on a paper slip with the first image layout, when it is determined that the promotion is offered and the electronic receipt is not issued, and control a communication interface to transmit promotion data of the promotion in a text format, when it is determined that the promotion is offered and the electronic receipt is issued. The promotion data includes a form identifier of the first image layout and does not include the first form data.
