POS DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
A point of sales (POS) device includes: a movable part configured to be switchable between a first position in which the movable part faces in a first direction and a second position in which the movable part faces in a second direction; a sensor configured to detect an object in a detection range including the first direction; and a control circuit configured to determine whether the movable part is in the first position and if the movable part is in the first position, control notification to a store clerk in accordance with a detection signal from the sensor.
1 . A point of sales (POS) device comprising:
a movable part configured to be switchable between a first position in which the movable part faces in a first direction and a second position in which the movable part faces in a second direction;
a sensor configured to detect an object in a detection range including the first direction; and
a control circuit configured to determine whether the movable part is in the first position and if the movable part is in the first position, control notification to a store clerk in accordance with a detection signal from the sensor.
2 . The POS device according to claim 1 , wherein
the movable part is configured to be switchable between the first position and the second position, the first position being a position in which the movable part faces in the first direction, the second position being a position in which the movable part faces in the second direction and processing associated with operation of the store clerk located at a position in the second direction is executed in the POS device.
3 . The POS device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first position is a configuration in which processing associated with an operation of a customer located at a position in the first direction is executed in the POS device.
4 . The POS device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a display device in which a display surface is provided on the movable part, wherein
the display surface of the display device faces in the first direction when the movable part is in the first position, and the display surface of the display device faces in the second direction when the movable part is in the second position, and
the control circuit executes, if the display surface of the display device faces in the first direction, processing that notifies the store clerk of presence of a customer detected by the sensor.
5 . The POS device according to claim 1 , wherein
the sensor is provided in the movable part so as to face in the first direction when the movable part is in the first position and face in a direction different from the first direction when the movable part is in the second position, and
the control circuit executes, if the movable part is in the first position, processing that notifies the store clerk of presence of a customer detected by the sensor provided in the movable part.
6 . The POS device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a second sensor that detects presence of the store clerk near the POS device, wherein
the control circuit notifies the store clerk of presence of a customer detected by the sensor during the movable part is in the second position, if the second sensor is shifted from a first state to a second state, the first state being a state in which the second sensor detects the presence of the store clerk, the second state being a state in which the second sensor does not detect the presence of the store clerk.
7 . The POS device according to claim 1 , wherein
the sensor includes
a first detection circuit configured to detect an object in a first detection range including the first direction,
a second detection circuit configured to detect an object in a second detection range including the second direction, and
if the movable part is in the first position, the control circuit is configured to notify the store clerk of presence of a customer detected by the first detection circuit, and
if the movable part is in the second position, the control circuit is configured to set an operation state at a power-saving mode during an object is not detected by the second detection circuit.
8 . A control method executed by a POS device, comprising:
determining whether a movable part in a POS device is in a first position, the movable part being switchable between the first position and a second position, the first position being a position in which the movable part faces in a first direction, the second position being a position in which the movable part faces in a second direction; and
if the movable part is in the first position, controlling notification to a store clerk in accordance with a detection signal from the sensor.
9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
determining whether a movable part in a POS device is in a first position, the movable part being switchable between the first position and a second position, the first position being a position in which the movable part faces in a first direction, the second position being a position in which the movable part faces in a second direction; and
if the movable part is in the first position, controlling notification to a store clerk in accordance with a detection signal from the sensor.
