A POS terminal device capable of improving a recognition rate in a process for recognizing a commodity irrespective of the surrounding environment is provided. A POS terminal device () includes a brightness measurement unit (), an irradiation unit (), an image pickup unit (), and a recognition process unit (). The brightness measurement unit () measures the brightness of environmental light around the POS terminal device (). The irradiation unit () irradiates a commodity with light, the light being adjusted according to the brightness of the environmental light measured by the brightness measurement unit (). The image pickup unit () shoots the commodity irradiated with the light by the irradiation unit () and thereby generates an image thereof. The recognition process unit () performs a process for recognizing the commodity based on the image generated by the shooting performed by the image-pickup unit ().
