Abstract: A commodity monitoring device includes a visitor number acquirer that acquires the number of visitors, a purchasing customer number acquirer that acquires the number of purchasing customers who purchase a commodity, a statistical information generator that generates statistical information, based on the number of visitors and the number of purchasing customers, a commodity detector that detects commodity, based on a captured image of a display area, a sales opportunity loss analyzer that analyzes a cause of the sales opportunity loss from a commodity detection result, and a display screen generator that generates a monitoring screen in which a display image representing the cause of the sales opportunity loss is superimposed on the image of the display area.

Abstract: A monitoring device includes a fixed area setter that sets an area of a part of a display shelf to be monitored as a fixed area, based on a captured image of the display shelf in a store, a shelf detector that detects the display shelf, by determining a similarity between an image of the fixed area set by the fixed area setter and an image at the same position as the fixed area, from the captured image of the store, and an alert notifier that notifies a user that the display shelf to be monitored is not detected, when it is determined that there is no similarity.

Abstract: A storage battery management device can efficiently charge a group of storage batteries connected in series. A storage battery management device (100) discharges or charges a plurality of storage batteries while switching the number of the storage batteries used or the number of the storage batteries connected in series or parallel as a connection mode. A chargeable electricity amount management unit (120) manages the storage batteries by calculating a chargeable electricity amount which is the amount of electricity that can be charged in each of the batteries from the current charge state to a full charge state. A chargeable electricity amount adjustment unit (130) controls the discharging or charging of the storage batteries such that the chargeable electricity amount of some or all of the storage batteries can reach a common target electricity amount.
