Abstract
A point-of-sale terminal is used to process purchases by a customer during normal operation. However, during an emergency, the cashier activates an 'emergency button' to indicate that the cashier needs police assistance. Once the cashier has indicated that an emergency condition occurs, the point-of-sale terminal attempts to utilize at least one communications adapter to notify the police of the emergency condition, either directly or via a monitoring service if the store subscribes to a monitoring service.
