[0075] (Action Example)

[0076] The processing of the handheld terminal 1 will be described.

[0077] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of a transaction processing file management process performed by the processing circuit 10 of the handheld terminal 1 according to the embodiment.

[0078] The processing circuit 10 can execute each time the handheld terminal 1 registers a commodity. Figure 3 The processing circuit 10 performs the following operations on each transaction: Figure 3 Processing shown.

[0079] The processing circuit 10 obtains transaction commodity data (ACT1). ACT1 may also be a process performed by the registration unit 101. In ACT1, for example, the processing circuit 10 obtains the commodity code of the transaction commodity based on the reading of the code symbol of the transaction commodity by the scanner 15. The processing circuit 10 may also obtain the commodity code of the transaction commodity based on the transaction commodity information input using the input device 16. The processing circuit 10 may also obtain information indicating the number of transaction commodities.

[0080] The processing circuit 10 stores the transaction commodity data in the auxiliary storage device 12 (ACT2). ACT2 can also be processed by the storage unit. In ACT2, for example, the processing circuit 10 adds the transaction commodity data to the transaction processing file each time the transaction commodity data is obtained. The processing circuit 10 associates the transaction number and the transaction commodity data and stores them in the transaction processing file. When performing settlement processing, the payment data is added to the transaction processing file and stored.

[0081] Figure 4 1 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of code symbols by the processing circuit 10 of the handheld terminal 1 according to the embodiment.

[0082] The processing circuit 10 obtains a code generation instruction (ACT 11). ACT 11 may be processed by the code processing unit 103. In ACT 11, for example, the processing circuit 10 obtains a code generation instruction based on an input of a code generation instruction by a user via the input device 16.

[0083] The processing circuit 10 generates a code symbol based on the transaction commodity data (ACT 12). ACT 12 may also be processed by the code processing unit 103.

The processing circuit 10 outputs the image information including the code symbol to the display device 17. The image information may also be display data. The display device 17 displays an image based on the image information including the code symbol on the display device 17.

[0085] In one example, the user reads the code symbol included in the receipt printed by the printer 2 through a POS terminal or the like. Thus, the user can input transaction commodity data in the POS terminal or the like based on the code symbol. When payment data is included, the payment data can also be input. The POS terminal or the like obtains the transaction commodity data included in the code symbol. The payment data is also obtained. Therefore, the user does not need to manually register the commodity again in the POS terminal or the like. In this way, the handheld terminal 1 can simplify the movement of commodity registration data. The user can simplify the movement of commodity registration data.

[0086] In another example, the user reads the code symbol included in the image displayed on the display device 17 in the POS terminal, etc. Thus, the user can input the transaction commodity data in the POS terminal, etc. based on the code symbol. The payment data is also obtained. The POS terminal, etc. obtains the transaction commodity data included in the code symbol. Therefore, the user does not need to manually register the commodity again in the POS terminal, etc. In this way, the handheld terminal 1 can simplify the movement of the commodity registration data. The user can simplify the movement of the commodity registration data.

[0087] The processing circuit 10 updates the transaction processing file (ACT 14). ACT 14 may also be processed by the storage unit 102. In ACT 14, for example, after outputting the code symbol information, the processing circuit 10 deletes the transaction commodity data corresponding to the code symbol information from the transaction processing file. The payment data is also deleted. In one example, the processing circuit 10 deletes the transaction commodity data from the transaction processing file according to the user's operation. The payment data is also deleted. In another example, the processing circuit 10 deletes the transaction commodity data from the transaction processing file according to the output of the code symbol information. The payment data is also deleted.

[0088] According to this example, the processing circuit 10 can delete the corresponding transaction product data from the transaction processing file every time the code symbol information is output. Thus, the processing circuit 10 can ensure the capacity of the auxiliary storage device 12.
