[Problem] To enable easily using transaction information printed on receipts through an external device. [Solution] A control serverthat can communicate with a printerthat produces receipts printed with transaction information related to a transaction, has a plurality of APIs registered thereon, and has: a control server storage unitthat stores a transaction information manager database; and a control server control unitthat receives transaction information from the printer, stores the received transaction information in the transaction information manager database, and when response request information requesting a response and including API call information specifying an API is received from a management device, executes a process through the API specified by the API call information based on the transaction information stored in the transaction information manager database, and sends information indicating the process result to the management device

Information processing device, information processing system, and control method of an information processing device

A POS terminalin a transaction systemtransmits control data instructing executing a transaction-related process during a transaction; a recording devicereceives the control data, executes a process based on the control data, transmits transaction information based on the control data and transaction identification information identifying the transaction information, and outputs a 2D code representing the transaction identification information; a terminalreads the transaction identification information from the 2D code output by the recording device, and transmits the transaction identification information that was read and a customer ID, which is identification information to store; and a control serverreceives the transaction information and transaction identification information from the recording device, receives the transaction identification information and customer ID from the terminal, and relationally stores the transaction information and customer ID when both of the received transaction identification information match.

Transaction system, information processing method, and processing device

A POS system comprises a printer and a network-connected data processor. The printer stores identification information and prints a receipt based on print data including transaction information. A transmission unit of the printer transmits over the network the print data and identification information to the data processor. The data processor stores relation information linking layout information for the printed receipt to the received identification information, and acquires the layout information related to the identification information based on the stored relation information, and based on the acquired layout information, analyze the print data.

POS system, data processing device, and control method of a POS system

A receipt printer sends print data received from a POS terminal and identification information of the receipt printer to a control server. The control server acquires layout information related to the identification information based on relation information linking the identification and layout information, and analyzes the print data by a method appropriate to the acquired layout information.
