Thecommunication controller 1001 transmits thedelivery information 102 a after the sales data processing relating to the delivery is terminated, for example. Theserver apparatus 20 stores the receiveddelivery information 102 a in the delivery information table 202 a. In other words, thecommunication controller 1001 acting as a storage control module stores thedelivery information 102 a in the delivery information table 202 a. - The
mode controller 1002 controls the switching of the reading modes responding to the reading method by thescanner device 19. Themode controller 1002 acting as a control module controls the switching between the three-dimensional scanner mode and the commodity code scanner mode. Themode controller 1002 changes the reading mode to the three-dimensional scanner mode on condition that thedelivery key 141 is pressed. Themode controller 1002 changes the reading mode to the commodity code scanner mode on condition that the closingkey 142 is pressed to declare that the sales data processing relating to the delivery is completed after the delivery charge is received. In other words, on condition that an operation for terminating the processing relating to the three-dimensional scanner mode is received, themode controller 1002 changes the reading mode to the commodity code scanner mode. Thedelivery key 141 which is a switching key of the reading modes relating to the reading method by thescanner device 19 is not limited to be arranged on thekeyboard 14, but may also be arranged in thescanner device 19. Alternatively, thedelivery key 141 may be a soft key displayed on thefirst display section 15. - The commodity
code reading section 1003 controls the processing in the commodity code scanner mode. The commoditycode reading section 1003 controls theimage capturing section 191 of thescanner device 19 to capture the two-dimensional image on condition that the reading mode is set to the commodity code scanner mode. The commoditycode reading section 1003 detects a code symbol attached to the commodity from the two-dimensional image captured by theimage capturing section 191. The commoditycode reading section 1003 extracts the commodity code from the code symbol after the code symbol is detected. The commodity code can be used to identify the commodity. - The three-dimensional
information reading section 1004 acting as a generation module controls the processing in the three-dimensional scanner mode. The three-dimensionalinformation reading section 1004 controls thescanner device 19 to capture the two-dimensional image generated by theimage capturing section 191 and the distance information generated by thedistance measurement sensor 192. The three-dimensionalinformation reading section 1004 synthesizes the two-dimensional image and the distance information to generate the three-dimensional information which is capable of reconstituting the three-dimensional shape of the object article. In other words, the three-dimensionalinformation reading section 1004 generates the three-dimensional information that can display the three-dimensional shape of the object article on thefirst display section 15, thesecond display section 16, thedisplay section 205, or thedisplay section 305. The three-dimensionalinformation reading section 1004 registers the generated three-dimensional information in thedelivery information 102 a. The foregoing generation method of the three-dimensional information is an example, and the three-dimensional information of the object article may be generated with other method. - The
input controller 1005 controls thekeyboard 14 to receive the voucher number of the voucher attached to the object article to be delivered and the destination. Theinput controller 1005 registers the voucher number and the destination input to thedelivery information 102 a. Furthermore, theinput controller 1005 may receive the input of the destination from an input device other than thekeyboard 14 when inputting the voucher number and the destination. Alternatively, theinput controller 1005 may receive the input of the voucher number and the destination from the voucher image in which the delivery destination is indicated. - The delivery
charge calculation section 1006 calculates the delivery charge. The deliverycharge calculation section 1006 acting as a calculation module calculates the delivery charge of the article indicated by the three-dimensional information based on the three-dimensional information of thedelivery information 102 a and the delivery charge table master file M1. In particular, the deliverycharge calculation section 1006 determines which one in the delivery charge table master file M1 the volume of the article indicated by the three-dimensional information of thedelivery information 102 a corresponds to. The deliverycharge calculation section 1006 extracts the delivery charge associated with the volume corresponding to the volume of the article indicated by the three-dimensional information from the delivery charge table master file M1. The deliverycharge calculation section 1006 sets the delivery charge extracted from the delivery charge table master file M1 as the delivery charge of the article indicated by the three-dimensional information. The deliverycharge calculation section 1006 may calculate the delivery charge in consideration with delivery conditions such as the delivery destination, the shape of the article, the weight, the necessity of refrigeration and the like. The deliverycharge calculation section 1006 can directly calculate the volume of the article from the three-dimensional information of thedelivery information 102 a on condition that the delivery charge is determined for each value of the volume of the article in the delivery charge table master file M1. In this way, the deliverycharge calculation section 1006 can accurately calculate the delivery charge easily even if the article is, for example, irregular shaped article that is not in a box such as a golf bag and a cylindrical or conical shaped article other than the rectangular shaped article. - The
sales registration section 1007 registers sales object such as a commodity and a service and the charge of the sales object as the sales information. The sales information indicates the sales of the object. Thesales registration section 1007 registers the service relating to the delivery and the delivery charge calculated by the deliverycharge calculation section 1006 as the sales information in a case in which themode controller 1002 sets the reading mode to the three-dimensional scanner mode.
