First Claim
1. A commodity sales data processing apparatus, comprising:
- a stationary type docking station having a storage module; and
a portable information terminal configured to be attached to and detached from the docking station freely,wherein the docking station includes a work history table in which at least an application code for identifying an application program executed by the portable information terminal and a takeover code for identifying data required to take over processing based on the application program are writable, andthe portable information terminal includes;
a processor configured to, when the information terminal is attached to the docking station, read the application code and the takeover code from the work history table of the docking station, start the application program identified by the application code, and successively execute processing based on the application program by continuously using the data identified by the takeover code in a following processing.

Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a commodity sales data processing apparatus comprises a stationary type docking station with a storage module, and a portable information terminal which is attached to and detached from the docking station freely. The information terminal receives an input of data relating to the sales of a commodity to process the received data, and stores the data required to take over the processing in the storage module of the docking station Then the information terminal successively executes, if the information terminal is attached to the docking station, the processing by referring to the data stored in the storage module of the docking station.
