Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a merchandise sales data registration processing apparatus and a merchandise sales data registration processing system.

  In stores that sell goods, the provision of timely information to customers is an important factor in improving sales.

  For example, if it suddenly rains while the customer is visiting the store, if the customer can provide information about the rain and the rain outside the store before the customer passes the cash register, sales of the umbrella Will improve.

  In this regard, when the rain sensor and the imaging device are connected by a network and the server determines that it has rained based on the output of the rain sensor, it has been rained on the customer-side display of the sales information registration device, And the technique which displays the mode outside the store imaged with the imaging device is proposed.

  However, depending on this technology, it is difficult to change recommended products to customers due to changes in weather and to promote recommended products, and it is difficult to sufficiently increase the customer's willingness to purchase.
