According to an embodiment, an information processing device includes a control unit that is configured to store information relating to items of a plurality of stores at a shared facility and information relating to orders for the items of the plurality of stores. The control unit receives, from a terminal, an order for items of the plurality of stores. After a settlement process of the order is completed, the control unit transmits a settlement completion notice to the terminal and causes the terminal to display a settlement completion screen including a receipt request operator for transmitting a receipt request from the terminal. If the receipt request is transmitted from the terminal, and the order includes items from different stores in the plurality of stores, the control unit transmits separate electronic receipts for each of the different stores from which an item was ordered.

In one embodiment, a receipt server includes an acquisition unit and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires receipt data on a commercial transaction, identified by transaction identification information included in settlement sales data reported from a settlement terminal to a settling agent that assists settlement of the commercial transaction, from a receipt storage unit that stores receipt data generated by the settlement terminal at a time of settlement of the commercial transaction. The output unit outputs information, relating to a purchased commercial product included in the receipt data acquired by the acquisition unit to a settlement server of the settling agent.

According to one embodiment, a registration device for a transaction processing system includes a communication interface connected to a plurality of settlement devices via a network. The plurality of settlement devices includes a first settlement device and a second settlement device. A processor of the registration device is configured to generate settlement information required for settlement of a merchandise transaction based on the registration of items in the merchandise transaction, and then transmit the settlement information to the first settlement device. If the transmission of the settlement information to the first settlement device fails, the processor records transaction specifying information on a medium that can be given to a customer. The transaction specifying information identifies the settlement information corresponding to the merchandise transaction. The processor also store the settlement information in a storage unit when the transmission to the first settlement device fails.

Provided are a payment method and system through generation of a one-time payment-only number of a real card linked with an application, wherein in order to make payment safely by generating a one-time payment-only number every payment without leaving card information of a user in a provider's payment terminal or by using the generated one-time payment-only number, when a real card is linked with an application installed on a user terminal and the payment terminal recognizes the real card, a user signature input window, and transaction information about payment performed with a one-time payment-only number generated by a card company server are displayed on a screen of the application of the user terminal, and payment is performed when a signature of the user is input to the signature input window.

Improvements to existing technologies associated with point-of-sale transactions and merchant ecosystems to, among other things, reduce in-person contact and, in some examples, improve the efficiency at which point-of-sale transactions are completed (i.e., reduce friction) are described. In some examples, such reduced in-person contact and/or improved efficiencies can limit transmission of infectious diseases. As such, techniques described are directed to modifying aspects of point-of-sale transactions such that they occur on different computing devices (e.g., customer computing devices instead of merchant computing devices), are automated, and/or occur at different times than with conventional point-of-sale transactions. Furthermore, in at least one example, techniques described can leverage a distributed, network-based merchant ecosystem—comprising multiple merchant computing devices and/or customer computing devices that are specially configured to communicate with a service provider—to facilitate social distancing, which can reduce in-person contact and, in some examples, improve the efficiency at which point-of-sale transactions are completed.

A device may receive first information related to a transaction. The device may identify a first device from which to receive an image of a receipt related to the transaction. The device may provide, to the first device, a notification to cause the first device to perform a set of actions including activating a camera associated with the first device to capture the image of the receipt, or providing, for display, an instruction related to capturing the image of the receipt associated with the transaction. The device may receive, from the first device, the image of the receipt. The device may process the image of the receipt to perform an analysis of the transaction. The device may perform an action related to the transaction based on a result of processing the image of the receipt.

A system includes: a processor; a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores a first content; a medical device coupled to the processor; and a reader coupled to the processor, wherein the reader is configured to read a second content from a storage medium other than the memory such that the processor switches the medical device from a first mode to a second mode based on the first content corresponding to the second content.

An equipment rental system comprising a kiosk, the kiosk comprising a user interface configured to receive user input and provide outputs to a user, a processor configured to receive the user input from the user interface, generate user output and control a locker system; and a locker system configured to store the equipment and allow access to the equipment under control of the processor, the processor configured to: receive log in and credential information form a user via the user interface, present the user a choice of equipment, receive a selection of equipment through the user interface, gather payment information from the user through the user interface, wherein the payment information corresponds to a period of use for the selected equipment, and control the locker system to make the selected equipment available to the user.

A method of delivering a digital receipt relating to a transaction to a user, the method comprising, at a server: receiving transaction related data from a point of sale system, the transaction related data having been intercepted in a data communications path between a point of sale terminal and a peripheral device; analysing transaction related data to extract user identification data; querying a user data module using extracted user identification data to determine user preferences relating to delivery of digital receipts; generating the digital receipt in dependence on the determined user preferences and the received transaction related data; outputting the digital receipt.

A method or a system, automatically and electronically ensures that customer pays for all goods picked up and the customer takes out of the shop only goods paid for. All this is done without the need of a shop teller and finally without the need of a shop supervisor to periodically crosscheck and ensure that the total amount of money collected by the shop teller (within a period) equals the total value of goods disbursed. The resultant of this system are the shop runs can run a totally cashless shop; reduce human resource by a significant percentage; shop can be opened 24/7; no more queues at shop teller points even during peak periods or major sales.
