Abstract:
A recording apparatus includes a detector to detect that a credit card reading device of a settlement apparatus is in an operation state for reading a credit card and an image processor to process image data captured by an image capturing device positioned to capture an image of the settlement apparatus during the reading of the credit card. The image processor is configured to obscure a portion of the image data captured during the reading of the credit card such that characters on the credit card are unreadable when the image is reproduced. The image data captured during operating states other than those for reading the credit card are not obscured by the image processor. A non-volatile storage device is provided to store the image data captured by the image capturing device.

Claim (Index 11):
A settlement apparatus, comprising:\n a display screen including a touchscreen by which a user can input a selection of a payment method for settlement of a sales transaction; a credit card reading device by which the user can settle the sales transaction using a credit card; a detector configured to detect that the credit card reading device is in an operation state for reading the credit card; an image capturing device positioned to capture image data of the display screen, the captured image data including an image of the display screen during the operation state for reading the credit card; an image processor configured to process the image data captured by the image capturing device to obscure a portion of the image data including the image captured by the image capturing device during the operation state for reading the credit card such that characters on the credit card are unreadable when the image is reproduced, wherein image data including images captured during operating states other than the operating state for reading the credit card are not processed by the image processor to obscure any portion of the image data; and a non-volatile storage device configured to store the image data captured by the image capturing device.
