Description

Embodiments of the present invention relates to sales information registration processing unit及beauty program.

  Some sales information registration processing devices such as so-called POS terminals are provided with portable portable terminals. This portable terminal is, for example, a tablet-type terminal, and can be carried separately from a main body apparatus having a scanner and a printer.

  While the mobile terminal has the advantage that it can be operated flexibly, such as providing product information to customers by separating it from the main unit, there is also a risk of illegal take-out.

  In this regard, there has been proposed a technique that includes a position detection unit and restricts the operation of the apparatus itself when it is determined that it has been taken out of a preset area.

  However, this technology still has the following problems to be solved.

  First, if it is not taken out illegally and taken out of the designated area, it is impossible to use programs or applications other than the POS program.

  Second, even if the operation is limited only by the POS program, the confidential information data remains accessible.

  Third, there is no means for the administrator to know that the terminal has been taken out of the specified area.
