Abstract:
1. A sales data processing apparatus which registers and processes sales data on a transaction-by-transaction basis, the apparatus comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that, when executed by a computer processor, causes the sales data processing apparatus to execute procedures, the modules comprising: an imaging module configured to image a customer who is waiting for registration; a moving image storage module configured to store a moving image taken by the imaging module by imaging the customer who is waiting for registration; a manipulation determination module configured to determine whether or not a prescribed one of a series of manipulations for registration of sales data of one transaction was performed; a generation module configured to generate customer identification image data based on an image taken by the imaging module if the manipulation determination module determines that the prescribed manipulation was performed; and a manipulation situation storage module configured to store data indicating manipulation timing of at least the prescribed manipulation of a series of manipulations for registration of the sales data of the one transaction, wherein the generation module extracts the image that was taken with the manipulation timing indicated by the data stored in the manipulation situation storage module from the moving image stored in the moving image storage module, and generates the customer identification image data based on the extracted image, and wherein if the extracted image that was taken with the manipulation timing indicated by the data stored in the manipulation situation storage module from the moving image stored in the moving image storage module is lower than a reference value in closeness to a complete frontal image, the generation module extracts the image based on determining the image was taken before or after the manipulation timing indicated by the data stored in the manipulation situation storage module from the moving image stored in the moving image storage and generates the customer identification image data based on the extracted image.
