Abstract

A transaction processing system of the present disclosure includes processing circuitry configured to acquire image data of an image displayed on a display apparatus for displaying a content of a transaction; extract, from the image data, a character or graphic displayed on the display apparatus; analyze a content represented by the character or graphic; and generate instruction information, based on the analyzed content, for controlling a money processing apparatus to perform processing relating to the transaction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A transaction processing system, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
acquire, at a predetermined cycle, image data of an image displayed on a display apparatus for displaying a content of a transaction;
extract, from the image data, a change of a character or graphic displayed on the display apparatus;
analyze, after the character or graphic is changed, a content represented by the character or graphic; and
generate instruction information, based on the analyzed content, for controlling a money processing apparatus to perform processing relating to the transaction.

2. The transaction processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a camera provided separate from the display apparatus, the camera capturing a captured image of the image displayed on the display apparatus, wherein
the processing circuitry acquires the image data according to the captured image from the camera.

3. The transaction processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the processing circuitry is a module different from the money processing apparatus, and
the processing circuitry is configured to communicate with the money processing apparatus.

4. The transaction processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the processing circuitry communicates with the money processing apparatus via a mobile terminal.

5. The transaction processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to generate change information for changing the image based on a processing result of the money processing apparatus.

6. The transaction processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to decide a position to change the image based on the analyzed content.

7. The transaction processing system according to claim 5 , wherein
the processing circuitry generates the change information for a keyboard interface, and
the change information is accepted by the display apparatus.

8. A transaction processing method, comprising:
acquiring image data of an image displayed on a display apparatus for displaying a content of a transaction;
extracting, from the image data, a character or graphic displayed on the display apparatus;
analyzing, by processing circuitry, a content represented by the character or graphic;
generating instruction information, by the processing circuitry and based on the analyzed content, for controlling a money processing apparatus to perform processing relating to the transaction; and
generating change information for changing the image based on a processing result of the money processing apparatus, wherein
the change information is data of a data format for a keyboard interface, and
the change information is accepted by the display apparatus.

9. The transaction processing method according to claim 8 , wherein
the acquiring includes capturing, by a camera separate from the display apparatus, a captured image of the image displayed on the display apparatus, and
the image data is acquired according to the captured image.

10. The transaction processing method according to claim 8 , wherein the generating the instruction information comprises analyzing the content after the character or graphic is changed and generating the instruction information according to the analyzed content.

11. The transaction processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising communicating with a module different from the money processing apparatus and the money processing apparatus.

12. The transaction processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the communicating is performed via a mobile terminal.

13. The transaction processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising deciding a position to change the image based on the analyzed content.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a process comprising:
acquiring image data of an image displayed on a display apparatus for displaying a content of a transaction;
extracting, from the image data, a character or graphic displayed on the display apparatus;
analyzing a content represented by the character or graphic;
generating instruction information, based on the analyzed content, for controlling a money processing apparatus to perform processing relating to the transaction;
generating change information for changing e image based on a processing result of the money processing apparatus; and
deciding a position to change the image based on the analyzed content.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , wherein the process further comprises:
analyzing the content after the character or graphic is changed, and
generating the instruction information according to the analyzed content.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , wherein the process further comprises communicating with a module different from the money processing apparatus and the money processing apparatus.
