Abstract

A sales-data processing device includes: a registering circuit that registers a product and generates registration data; a settlement processing circuit that executes settlement processing using the registration data; a sending circuit that sends the registration data to another sales-data processing device for execution of the settlement processing by the other sales-data processing device using the registration data; and a prohibiting circuit. Once the sales-data processing device has determined that the sending circuit will send the registration data, the prohibiting circuit prohibits the settlement processing circuit from executing the settlement processing before the sending circuit sends the registration data.

Claims (42)

1. A sales-data processing device connected to other sales-data processing devices over a network of a store, comprising:

a touch display;

a customer-side display; and

a central processing unit (CPU) that:

registers a product and generates registration data, and

either executes settlement processing using the registration data or sends the registration data to one of currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing using the registration data, the currently operable sales-data processing devices being available to execute the settlement processing among the other sales-data processing devices, wherein

the touch display displays, to a store employee, the currently operable sales-data processing devices,

for every settlement transaction, the touch display displays a reception screen configured to receive, from the store employee, an operation to execute the settlement processing at the sales-data processing device or an operation to send the registration data to one of the currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing, and

in a case where the reception screen receives the operation to send the registration data:

the touch display prompts the store employee to select one of the currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing, and

the CPU causes the customer-side display to display, to a customer, a message that prompts the customer to execute the settlement processing at the selected currently operable sales-data processing device.

2. A sales-data processing device connected to other sales-data processing devices over a network of a store, comprising:

a touch display;

a customer-side display; and

a central processing unit (CPU) that:

registers a product and generates registration data, and

either executes settlement processing using the registration data or sends the registration data to one of currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing using the registration data, the currently operable sales-data processing devices being available to execute the settlement processing among the other sales-data processing devices, wherein

the touch display displays, to a store employee, the currently operable sales-data processing devices,

for every settlement transaction, the touch display displays a reception screen configured to receive, from the store employee, an operation to execute the settlement processing at the sales-data processing device or an operation to send the registration data to one of the currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing, and

in a case where the reception screen receives the operation to execute the settlement processing,

the CPU causes the customer-side display to display, to a customer, a message that prompts the customer to execute the settlement processing at the sales-data processing device, not at any of the currently operable sales-data processing devices.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions that cause a computer to function as a sales-data processing device that is connected to other sales-data processing devices over a network of a store and comprises:

a touch display;

a customer-side display; and

a central processing unit (CPU) that:

registers a product and generates registration data, and

either executes settlement processing using the registration data or sends the registration data to one of currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing using the registration data, the currently operable sales-data processing devices being available to execute the settlement processing among the other sales-data processing devices, wherein

the touch display displays, to a store employee, the currently operable sales-data processing devices,

for every settlement transaction, the CPU causes the touch display to display a reception screen configured to receive, from the store employee, an operation to execute the settlement processing at the sales-data processing device or an operation to send the registration data to one of the currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing, and

in a case where the reception screen receives the operation to send the registration data:

the touch display prompts the store employee to select one of the currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing, and

the CPU causes the customer-side display to display, to a customer, a message that prompts the customer to execute the settlement processing at the selected currently operable sales-data processing device.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions that cause a computer to function as a sales-data processing device that is connected to other sales-data processing devices over a network of a store and comprises:

a touch display;

a customer-side display; and

a central processing unit (CPU) that:

registers a product and generates registration data, and

either executes settlement processing using the registration data or sends the registration data to one of currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing using the registration data, the currently operable sales-data processing devices being available to execute the settlement processing among the other sales-data processing devices, wherein

the touch display displays, to a store employee, the currently operable sales-data processing devices,

for every settlement transaction, the CPU causes the touch display to display a reception screen configured to receive, from the store employee, an operation to execute the settlement processing at the sales-data processing device or an operation to send the registration data to one of the currently operable sales-data processing devices to execute the settlement processing, and

in a case where the reception screen receives the operation to execute the settlement processing,

the CPU causes the customer-side display to display, to a customer, a message that prompts the customer to execute the settlement processing at the sales-data processing device, not at any of the currently operable sales-data processing devices.
