POINT-OF-SALE TERMINAL INCLUDING A TOUCH PANEL SCREEN HAVING EXPANDED AREAS FOR SELECTING OBJECTS WHEN THE OBJECTS ARE PARTIALLY OBSCURED

摘要

A point-of-sale terminal includes a touch panel screen displaying first selectable objects and a second selectable object associated with one of the first selectable objects, first and second memory regions, and a processor. The first memory region stores for each of first selectable objects, display location and size, attributes of an image, and an operation command to be issued upon selection of the first selectable object. The second memory region stores data of the second selectable object. The processor is configured to arrange the second selectable object to be partially overlaid on one of the first selectable objects on the touch panel screen, such that responsive to a selection of the second selectable object or the partially overlaid first selectable object, the operation command for the partially overlaid first selectable object is issued.
