Card payment terminal device
A payment terminal device attenuates or turns on a backlight illuminating a display of a touch panel displaying a screen relating to payment processing when information relating to the payment processing is printed in a print module. In addition, the payment terminal device turns off the attenuated or turned off backlight, after the printing of the information relating to the payment processing is finished by the print module. When the printer is operated, by pausing or suspending a part of a function or a process, a total amount of current flowing into a power supply stored inside a housing is reduced and power consumption is reduced.
1. A card payment terminal device comprising:
a payment processor that performs card payment processing;
a printer that prints information relating to the card payment processing;
a display that displays a screen relating to the card payment processing;
an illuminator that illuminates the display; and
a controller which is configured to attenuate or turn off the illuminator during printing of information relating to the card payment processing by the printer, in the card payment processing.
2. The card payment terminal device of claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured not to attenuate or turn off the illuminator during reading of at least card information in the card payment processing.
3. The card payment terminal device of claim 2 ,
wherein, the controller is configured to turn on a light by increasing brightness than during printing, after the printing of information relating to the payment processing is finished by the printer.
4. The card payment terminal device of claim 2 , further comprising:
an input operation detector that detects an input operation with respect to a screen relating to the payment processing,
wherein the controller is configured to suspend detection of the input operation in the input operation detector, when the information relating to the payment processing is printed by the printer.
5. The card payment terminal device of claim 2 ,
wherein the controller is configured to stop or reduce power supply to the display when the information relating to the payment processing is printed by the printer.
6. The card payment terminal device of claim 2 ,
wherein the controller is configured to set a display content of the display in a non-visible state when the information relating to the payment processing is printed by the printer.
7. The card payment terminal device of claim 1 ,
wherein, the controller is configured to turn on a light by increasing brightness than during printing, after the printing of information relating to the payment processing is finished by the printer.
8. The card payment terminal device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an input operation detector that detects an input operation with respect to a screen relating to the payment processing,
wherein the controller is configured to suspend detection of the input operation in the input operation detector, when the information relating to the payment processing is printed by the printer.
9. The card payment terminal device of claim 8 ,
wherein the controller is configured to unsuspend the stop of the input operation detection in the input operation detector, after the printing of the information relating to the payment processing is finished by the printer.
10. The card payment terminal device of claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured to stop or reduce power supply to the display when the information relating to the payment processing is printed by the printer.
11. The card payment terminal device of claim 10 ,
wherein the controller is configured to release the stop or reduction of the power supply to the display, after the printing of information relating to the payment processing is finished by the printer.
12. The card payment terminal device of claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured to set a display content of the display in a non-visible state when the information relating to the payment processing is printed by the printer.
13. The card payment terminal device of claim 12 ,
wherein the controller is configured to release the non-visible state of the display content of the display, after the printing of information relating to the payment processing is finished by the printer.
