    Abstract: A system and method for distribution of product price and/or sales data in a retail establishment. Product price and/or sales data is stored locally, either in a central computer or master electronic cash register (ECR) or remotely at a master computer. The product price data is stored in the form of a price look-up (PLU) table. The price data can be pushed from the master ECR, local or master computers to and ECR emulation hub to an ECR emulation hub. Similarly, the ECR emulation hub can request product price data from the master ECR, local or master computers. Once the product price data arrives at the ECR emulation hub, it can be processed and sent to a display, which will be located near the appropriate product. The ECR emulation hub can also record and/or transmit prices actually charged for products over time to allow for automatic auditing of promotional pricing offers such as those made by manufacturers of the product. The ECR emulation hub acts like au ECR, thereby requiring no special software or hardware modifications to existing pricing display systems that already support ECRs.

    Abstract: A point of sale (POS) is programmed to add unrestricted items to a transaction. In response to presentation of unique customer identification, the customer's identity is verified by transmitting an image associated with the unique identification to the POS. In response to receiving verification that the image corresponds to the presenter of the unique identification, a self-checkout interface is displayed by the POS. Restricted items are input by the customer and, if the customer is determined eligible to purchase the restricted items, they are added to the transaction. Payment for both restricted and unrestricted items in the transaction is then processed. Eligibility may be determined on a server system that determines the customer's age and possibly one or more other eligibility criteria.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, a server and a terminal for generating a quick response code, an information processing method and device, and an information system. The method for generating a quick response code includes: receiving a quick response code request of a user; obtaining first general information in the quick response code request, to generate first order information; and generating a quick response code according to the first order information. By means of the method for generating a quick response code, the information processing method and device, and the information system provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is implemented that a quick response code identifiable to more payment tools is provided, so that a user does not need to determine which payment tool to be used to perform code scanning, thereby making a payment process more convenient and faster. Meanwhile, costs in aspects of user guidance and business operation are reduced.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining electric pulses to provide to an unattended machine based on remotely-configured options. An example method includes: detecting presence of the unattended machine in proximity to the mobile device. After detecting the presence, the method includes: receiving, from a server, information about a first set of remotely-configured options. In response to receiving the information about the first set of remotely-configured options, the method includes: displaying user interface objects that allow for selection of respective options in the first set of remotely-configured options. After detecting a selection of a first user interface object, receiving, from the server, specifications regarding electric pulses to be provided to the unattended machine by a pulse-providing device. After sending an authorization grant and the specifications to the pulse-providing device, the method includes: receiving an indication that the electric pulses were provided to the unattended machine according to the specifications.

    Abstract: An EEG POS system has an EEG device that detects electrical signals representing brain waves. A database of brain wave profiles represents a plurality of items to be identified. A live signal analyzer compares electrical signals from the EEG device with stored brain wave profiles in the database to identify entries in the database representing items that match the electrical signals from the EEG device, where items whose stored brain wave profiles match the electrical signals are considered identified items. A POS terminal is coupled to the live signal analyzer in order to log and tally items for a transaction.
