Abstract
An automated order processing for order items registered in advance as commodities targeted for automated order service is performed. In the automated order processing, it is determined whether any container/package for the order items exists in the disposal box, based on internal status data of a disposal box or identification data on the contents of the container/package existing in the disposal box. If it is determined that any container/package for the order items exists in the disposal box, the number of discarded containers/packages for the order items existing in the disposal box is calculated. Then, it is determined whether the number of discarded containers/packages is equal to or larger than an upper threshold set according to a sales mode of the order items. If it is determined that the number of discarded containers/packages is equal to or larger than the upper threshold, ordering data of the order items is generated.
