1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a storage unit;
a touch panel;
a speaker;
at least one processor;
a weight sensor operable to detect weight of an object placed on the touch panel;
one or more programs stored in the storage unit and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;
a display module operable to send information to the touch panel to request a user to input a unit price of the object on the touch panel;
a receiving module operable to receive the input unit price of the object from the touch panel and save the unit price in the storage unit;
a determination module operable to determine whether the unit price of the object is a non-zero value and send a calculation signal to execute a calculation when the unit price of the object is a non-zero value;
a calculation module operable to calculate a total price of the object by multiplication of the unit price by the weight of the object when receiving the calculation signal;
a read module operable to read audio data corresponding to the total price from the storage unit; and

Abstract
An object is weighed using a portable electronic device. Placement of an object on a touch panel of the portable electronic device provides measurement of the weight of the object. In the measurement, the portable electronic device sends information to the touch panel to request a user to input a unit price of the object. The portable electronic device then detects a weight of the object placed on the touch panel. The portable electronic device calculates a total price of the object by multiplication of the input unit price and the detected weight of the object. The total price of the object can be then output.
