Publication number: 20220366423Abstract: A store management system includes a first determination unit, a monitoring unit, a settlement unit, a second determination unit, and a generation unit. The first determination unit determines a customer entering a store displaying and selling a commodity. The monitoring unit monitors that the customer determined by the first determination unit carries the commodity. The settlement unit settles price of the commodity monitored by the monitoring unit as being carried by the customer, according to instruction from the customer. The second determination unit determines that the customer leaves the store. The generation unit generates history data including suspicious data indicating that the customer, identified by an identification code, is associated with an unsettled commodity being carried out of the store, when a settlement of the commodity carried by the customer which is determined by the second determination unit as leaving the store has not been completed by the settlement unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazunari KOGURE, Satoru ISHIHARA, Mikio ITO

Publication number: 20220180387Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus acquires, from a payment apparatus, transaction data, user identification data, and planning identification data. The information processing apparatus acquires, from a first management database, a product code associated with the planning identification data. The information processing apparatus acquires, from a second management database, an achievement status of a reward providing condition. The information processing apparatus determines, on the basis of whether or not the transaction data includes the product code and of the achievement status of the reward providing condition, necessity of provision of a reward to a subject corresponding to the user identification data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Toru TERAUCHI, Kazunari KOGURE, Toshihide MURATA, Takuma TANAKA

Publication number: 20200258113Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a detector, a controller, a display device, and a storage device. The detector detects a commodity code of a commodity. If a first commodity code of a first commodity is detected, the controller determines whether a second commodity is registered as associated with the first commodity. The display device outputs content of the privilege data for the second commodity in response to determining the second commodity is registered as associated with the first commodity. In response to detecting a second commodity code of the second commodity, the storage device applies a privilege corresponding to the privilege data to the second commodity and stores commodity information of the second commodity.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Fumio NAKATSUKASA, Mikio ITO, Satoru ISHIHARA, Kazunari KOGURE, Daigo KUDOU

Patent number: 9600224Abstract: According to one embodiment, a commodity information browsing system includes a shelf label apparatus including a first storing section and a first transmitting section, a portable terminal including a first receiving section, a notifying section, a second receiving section, and a display section, and a server apparatus including a second storing section and a second transmitting section. The first transmitting section transmits, by radio, one shelf label code among a plurality of shelf label codes. The notifying section notifies the server apparatus of the shelf label code. The second storing section stores association information representing a relation between the shelf label codes and commodity information. The second transmitting section determines, on the basis of the association information, the commodity information associated with the notified shelf label code and transmits the relevant commodity information to the portable terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Seiji Ishikawa, Shuji Takahashi, Kenya Suzuki, Ryu Morita, Hiroki Mochizuki, Yoshihiko Ikeda, Kazuya Nambu, Kazunari Kogure
