Abstract: A transaction processing system includes a plurality of store systems, a transaction processing server, and a handheld wireless terminal. Each of the store systems includes a wireless access point that is provided at a store identified by a store ID and configured to generate a beacon signal indicating an ID corresponding to the store ID. The handheld wireless terminal includes a first wireless communication interface configured to receive the beacon signal when in a communication range of the wireless access point at a visited store, a second wireless communication interface, a display, a screen file depository, and a processor configured to perform a mobile point-of-sales (POS) operation.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a touch panel, a processor configured to detect that the touch panel is being pressed at a first position, acquire a first position coordinate of the first position when the touch panel is detected as being pressed at the first position, and determine whether the touch panel has been continuously pressed at a second position for a reference period or more, and a controller configured to provide a notification if the touch panel has been continuously pressed at the second position for the reference period or more.

Abstract: A commodity sales data processing apparatus includes first and second audio generators and a control device. The first audio generator is directed toward a first side, connected to a first stereophonic audio channel, and configured to generate a first stereophonic audio output based on a first part of a stereophonic audio signal. The second audio generator is directed toward a second side, connected to a second stereophonic audio channel, and configured to generate a second stereophonic audio output based on a second part of the stereophonic audio signal. The control device is configured to select a stereophonic audio data file, determine first and second volumes of the first and second audio generators, respectively, based on the stereophonic audio data file, and control the first and second audio generators to generate first and second stereophonic audio outputs corresponding to the selected stereophonic audio file, at the first and second volumes, respectively.
