Abstract
In an embodiment, a code reading device reads a code from an image of a product. The code reading device determines whether or not a label displaying price change information is affixed to the product. If the label is not affixed to the product, the code reading device outputs the code to a processing device. If the label is affixed to the product, the code reading device transmits an image of the product to an image recognition server. The code reading device outputs the price change information recognized by the image recognition server to the processing device together with the code.
