Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a first orientation in which a computing system is positioned. A first functionality can be provided when the computing system is positioned in the first orientation. It can be determined that the computing system becomes positioned in a second orientation. A second functionality can be selected, out of a set of functionalities, based on a current state associated with the computing system. The second functionality can be provided when the computing system becomes positioned in the second orientation.

Techniques and arrangements of a point-of-sale (POS) system including a transaction interface control mechanism configured to prevent simultaneous input by a merchant and a customer during a transaction. The POS system can include a merchant user interface (UI) presented on a merchant-facing display and a customer UI presented on a customer-facing display. In some instances, the merchant UI can be on a display of a merchant device, while the customer UI can be on a display of a customer device. In such instances, the merchant device and the customer device can be operably connected via a wired or wireless connection.

A POS system includes a plurality of electronic device, at least a specified one of which automatically generates and updates a history data at intervals, and an intelligent device installed in the specified electronic device for automatically updating and showing a life percentage information of the specified electronic device according to the history data. The intelligent device includes: a signal transmission module electrically connected to the specified electronic device for receiving the history data therethrough; a processing unit generating a life percentage value according to the history data of the specified electronic device, and issuing a life percentage status signal indicative of the life percentage value; a storage module for storing the history data; and a prompt displaying module visibly disposed for displaying the life percentage information in response to the life percentage status signal.

A point of sale system includes a merchant terminal and a customer terminal. The merchant terminal is configured to display a user interface (UI) window on the merchant terminal. The UI window on the merchant terminal displays a merchant-specific version of a screen displayed on the customer terminal. The merchant terminal receives updates from the customer terminal regarding the status of the payment portion for a transaction. The merchant terminal can provide an input to the UI window which is sent as a message to the customer terminal. Control of state for the point of sale system is shared such that when the system is in a first state, the merchant terminal is the state control terminal, and when the point of sale system is in a second state, the customer terminal is the state control terminal and has control of state for the system.

A customer is provided with a superior shopping experience while realizing hygiene management by using a transparent display medium with a point-of-sale (POS) terminal. Processing circuitry is configured to receive input relating to payment for a product from a first party, and display an image of an effect corresponding to the input relating to payment on the transparent display medium disposed so as to separate the first party from a second party who is purchasing the product.

A merchandise processing device includes an identification unit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The identification unit identifies a merchandise. The detection unit detects, based on a captured image of the merchandise, a privilege medium in which privilege information is recorded. The control unit causes a display device to display the image, on which the privilege medium is detected, in association with information related to the merchandise identified by the identification unit.
