Disclosed herein are methods and systems to generate and communicate interactive digital receipts. In one implementation, the method may include receiving an indication of a payment transaction between a merchant and a user. Via a customer identification system, an employment profile of the user; may be determined. The employment profile of the user may be compared with one or more employment vacancies within an employment database, where the employment vacancies relate to employment at one of a location of the merchant and another merchant's location. A particular employment vacancy from among the employment vacancies may be selected. The payment processing system generates one or more interactive receipts including at least a transaction component configured to display details of the payment transaction and an employment application component configured to display the particular employment vacancy.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device for product registration and checkout systems includes, a communication interface and a memory unit storing one or more capture conditions. A processor of the device is configured to check whether a registration of a commodity in a sales transaction satisfies a capture condition stored in the memory unit and output an instruction for capturing an image of the commodity if the registration satisfies the capture condition. The processor acquires an image of the commodity that was captured based on the instruction, and outputs the acquired image to an external apparatus via the communication interface.

An accounting system according to the present disclosure includes a terminal that is placed on a table used by a customer, a connection apparatus that is connected to the terminal at the time of accounting, and a server that communicates with the terminal and the connection apparatus via a network. The terminal receives an order for a product from the customer and then transmits table identification information by which the table can be identified and product information regarding the product to the server, the server stores the table identification information and the product information in association with each other as accounting information, and the terminal acquires, when it is connected to the connection apparatus, the accounting information associated with the table identification information from the server and performs accounting processing.

An open self-service sales system based on positioning of customers includes an open partitioned weight-sensing rack including multiple storage subareas. The open self-service sales system further includes a positioning module and an automatic weighing unit which are connected to the central control module. The position information of the customer is bound with the subareas to accurately identify customers and the purchasing behaviors. The data flow is simple and reliable, and a large number of computing is avoided, which is suitable for large customer flows.

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.

A computing device installed in or mountable to a shopping cart, includes a camera configured to capture an image, and a processor configured to acquire commodity data of a registered commodity, when an object is placed in the shopping cart, perform object recognition on an image of the object captured by the camera, and determine whether the recognized object is a commodity corresponding to the acquired commodity data, and upon determining that the recognized object is not the commodity corresponding to the acquired commodity data, issue a request for displaying a message instructing registration of the recognized object as a registered commodity.
