Claim 0:
1. A shop terminal comprising:
a reading processing circuit configured to read a two-dimensional code displayed on a first terminal, the two-dimensional code including authentication information;
an authentication information acquiring circuit configured to acquire the authentication information corresponding to the first terminal based on the two-dimensional code read by the reading processing circuit;
an authentication information transmitting circuit configured to transmit the authentication information acquired by the authentication information acquiring circuit to a plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses that respectively correspond to a plurality of different two-dimensional code payment companies; and
an authentication result acquiring circuit configured to acquire an authentication result for the authentication information from at least one of the plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses, wherein
a plurality of two-dimensional code payment systems exclusive to the plurality of different two-dimensional code payment companies, respectively, are respectively installed on the plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses;
the authentication information acquiring circuit is configured to acquire authentication information sent by any of the plurality of two-dimensional code payment systems;
the authentication information transmitting circuit is configured to transmit authentication information sent by any of the plurality of two-dimensional code payment systems;
the authentication information transmitting circuit transmits the authentication information to the plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses in an order of priority that is set based on a predetermined condition, so that the authentication information transmitting circuit is thereby configured to reduce a time that is required to acquire the authentication result;
the predetermined condition is at least one selected from the group of an amount on a bill, a past use date, a region of a shop used by a user, and a communication speed between the shop terminal and the plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses; and
the authentication information transmitting circuit transmits the authentication information to the plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses without establishing direct communications with the plurality of two-dimensional code payment apparatuses respectively corresponding to the plurality of two-dimensional code payment systems.
