A sales processing apparatus includes a processor and an input and output unit configured to perform an operation for a sales transaction processing. The processor is configured to acquire the time required for the input and output unit to perform the operation for the sales transaction processing of a sales transaction, then determine whether the time required for the input and output unit to perform the operation during the sales transaction exceeds a reference time for the input and output unit to perform the operation. A notification is output if the time required for the input and output unit to perform the operation during the sales transaction exceeds the reference time.

A medium handling apparatus includes a first memory device that is tamper resistant, a second memory device that stores a plurality of executable instructions, and a processor. The first memory device includes a first memory area that stores pieces of verification information, used for verification of validity of the plurality of executable instructions, as a list which enables a search for particular verification information by version of an executable instruction, and a second memory area that stores identification information for identifying a piece of verification information of an executable version of the executable instruction from the list. Each of the pieces of verification information includes an identifier of a version and a verification value calculated based on a valid executable instruction corresponding to the identifier.

Nowadays shopping in supermarkets, malls, marts and other commercial places becomes a very important part of human life. Apart from just shopping, these places offer so many entertainment platforms for every age group of people under one roof. Therefore, to attract the customers, the shop owners are always trying to introduce unique flavour in their shopping platforms, such as: Digital Payment methods, Automatic controlling systems, location indicator of the particular store, Smart Trolley and etc. Shopping Trolley is always hidden but a very crucial part of your shopping. Here, we are putting this hidden component into the central attraction for the shopping. In our proposed invention idea (Smart Trolley), we are planning to put so many customer friendly features into the trolley, which takes the customer's shopping experience into another level. In our proposed Smart Trolley system, we are planning to incorporate smart lock, smart pooling, product scanners, location indicator, weighing machine, e-payment system and product reminder/assistant. In the Covid-19 pandemic, technology has played a very important role in the smooth run of human life and it has also convinced the young as well as old people to make their life align with the recent advancements. With this emphasis, our invention, “Smart Trolley” will give the smart, safe and secure shopping experience to the customers as well as store owners too. Business retail's owners can also adapt the proposed system in their business platforms because the implementing cost will also be adjusted in the long run as the proposed system will help to reduce the supporting staff size.

Banknote processing equipment is disclosed, which comprises a chamber having an open end for insertion of a bag into the chamber and an extractor adapted to establish a lower ambient pressure between the chamber and the bag to that within the bag to cause the bag to expand into an open configuration during a banknote filling operation, whereby the banknote processing equipment can deposit banknotes in the bag.

In a banknote handling apparatus capable of dealing with a depositing/dispensing process by a banknote cassette and a manual depositing/dispensing process, the banknote handling apparatus enables a depositing process without dispensing a reject banknote, which has been deposited from the banknote cassette, to the outside. A banknote accounting apparatus 22 capable of receiving a banknote from banknote feeding units (a banknote receiving unit 201a, a banknote cassette 30a) includes: a transport unit 230a configured such that the banknote feeding unit is connected thereto, the transport unit configured to transport a received banknote; a recognition unit 240a configured to recognize the banknote being transported; an apparatus-internal reject unit 224a configured to store a reject banknote inside the apparatus; an apparatus-external reject unit 22a configured to dispense a reject banknote outside the apparatus; a unit deciding part configured to decide the banknote feeding unit for feeding a banknote; and a control unit configured to decide, when the recognition unit recognizes a banknote having been received from the banknote feeding unit as a reject banknote, to which one of the apparatus-internal reject unit 224a and the apparatus-external reject unit 222a the reject banknote is transported, based on the banknote feeding unit having fed the banknote.

A magnetic recording medium processing apparatus may include a coil structured to generate a magnetic field, a magnetic field generation control part which controls generation of the magnetic field in the coil, a sensor structured to execute acquisition of predetermined information, and a sensor control part which controls execution of the acquisition of the information in the sensor. The sensor control part may request the magnetic field generation control part to stop magnetic field generation from the coil at a timing earlier by a predetermined time period than a start timing when the sensor starts the acquisition of the information, and the magnetic field generation control part may stop the generation of the magnetic field from the coil when stop of the magnetic field generation is requested by the sensor control part.

A valuable medium processing apparatus that includes a mounting section which is set to either a first state in which a storage unit that stores a valuable medium is not mounted or a second state in which the storage unit is mounted, and a control section that performs, based on selection of the mounting section, a switching process between the first state and the second state of the selected mounting section.
