1. An information terminal which is attached to a carrier for carrying a commodity to be purchased and inputs information of the commodity to be purchased for registration of the commodity to be purchased, the information terminal comprising:
a sensor which is attached to the carrier and detects whether or not the commodity is placed on the carrier, and then outputs a detection result accordingly;
a touch panel which accepts an operation for log-in to the information terminal to input information for log-in;
a memory which stores a program to control the operation for log-in to the information terminal; and
a processor which executes the program to:
detect whether or not the operation for log-in has been received by the touch panel,
when it is detected that the operation for log-in has been received by the touch panel, determine, based on the detection result of the sensor, whether or not the commodity has been placed on the carrier,
display, when the operation for log-in is detected, guidance on the touch panel indicating that the operation for log-in is ineffective if the commodity is determined to have been placed on the carrier,
after displaying the guidance, detect whether or not the operation for log-in has been received by the touch panel again,
perform, when the operation for log-in is detected, approval processing of the information for log-in if the commodity is not determined to have been placed on the carrier,
display a registration image for registering the commodity on the touch panel if the information for log-in is approved as a result of the approval processing,
when an instruction for accounting for the registered commodity is received by the touch panel, determine whether or not self-accounting is allowed based on the registered commodity, and
display a guidance image set according to whether or not self-accounting is allowed.
