Patent ID: 8109439

Claim:
A commodity registration processing apparatus comprising: an imaging device that images a first data code or the first data code and a second data code attached to a commodity; a commodity sensor that detects whether the commodity is present in an imaging area of the imaging device; a decoding unit that decodes, while the commodity sensor detects that the commodity is present in the imaging area, the first data code or the first data code and the second data code on the basis of image data acquired by the imaging by the imaging device; a registration processing unit that performs at least registration processing for the commodity on the basis of a decoding result of the first data code acquired by the decoding unit or the decoding result of the first data code and a decoding result of the second data code; a first memory unit that stores the decoding result of the first data code acquired by the decoding unit; a second memory unit that stores the decoding result of the second data code acquired by the decoding unit; and a data-storage checking unit that determines whether the decoding result of the first data code is stored in the first memory unit; wherein the registration processing unit performs, if the decoding result of the first data code is stored in the first memory unit as a result of the determination by the data-storage checking unit, at least the registration processing for the commodity on the basis of the decoding result of the first data code or the decoding result of a first data code and the decoding result of the second data code acquired by the decoding unit.
