According to one embodiment, a mobile sales system includes a terminal device and a mobile sales device on which items to be sold can be mounted. The terminal device is used to designate a customer call position for the mobile sales device and is configured to transmit position information indicating the customer call position. The mobile sales device is configured to acquire the position information transmitted by the terminal device, move to a location corresponding to the acquired position information, and execute payment processing for an item removed from the mobile sales device by a customer.

In accordance with an embodiment, a shopping support apparatus includes a reader, a memory, and a processor. The processor causes the reader to read a data code, obtains store-specific setting information, and causes the memory to store control mode information included in the obtained setting information. The processor determines, on the basis of the control mode information of the setting information stored in the memory, whether to set a first mode for shopping support at the store as the control mode of the processor or set a second mode for a task restricted to an operation of an authorized person as the control mode of the processor.

Shopping support apparatus and shopping support method

A request is issued in response to an instruction to a memory buffer control unit in accordance with one of first and second specific access methods. The request comprises a request code and a memory address. The first specific access method comprises the steps of holding preliminarily the request code in a register, producing the memory address by using an address syllable included in the instruction, and delivering the memory address and the request code held in the register to the memory buffer control unit. The second specific access method comprises the steps of holding preliminarily indication data in a register, judging whether or not an address syllable has in the instruction a base register number equal to a specific number, producing an effective address by using the address syllable, and delivering the request code and the memory address to the memory buffer control unit by using the indication data held in the register and the effective address when the base register number is equal to the specific number.

A series resonant power converter in which a resonant copacitor is commonly used in a series resonant circuit and a parallel resonant circuit, whereby a capacitance of the resonant capacitor can be considerably decreased as compared with that of a tank circuit according to a prior art, so that an energy handled by the resonant capacitor can be decreased, which results in decreasing a size of the resonant circuit and also decreasing a power loss. The converter includes means for detecting and computing a voltage applied across a main switch means in its OFF-state and a control circuit for driving the main switch means to its ON-state when the detected and computed value of the voltage drops to a minimum voltage required to sustain oscillation of the series resonant circuit. The minimum voltage is computed by a detecting circuit for detecting an input voltage, a detecting circuit for detecting a voltage of a second resonant circuit and a detecting circuit for detecting a DC output voltage converted to a primary side of a main transformer.
