Abstract: In a familiarity degree estimation apparatus, a first video process unit calculates a time while a hand being viewed, which is a time when a customer is viewing the hand. A second video process unit calculates a time while an item being held, which is a time when the customer is holding an item. A familiarity degree estimation unit calculates a time while the item being viewed based on the time while a hand being viewed and the time while the item being held, and estimates that the longer the time while the item being viewed, the lower the degree of familiarity of the customer with respect to the item.

Abstract: An item management apparatus manages the number of items displayed on an item shelf. An acquisition unit acquires an ideal quantity indicating an ideal number of items to be displayed, and a current quantity indicating the number of items being actually displayed on the item shelf. A detection unit detects the number of times of taking out and placing back an item with respect to the item shelf. An ideal quantity correction unit corrects the ideal quantity based on the current quantity and the number of times of taking out and placing back the item.

Abstract: A customer analysis apparatus (10) includes an image acquisition unit (110) and an image processing unit (120). The image acquisition unit (110) acquires a first image generated by a first image capture unit (22) and a second image generated by a second image capture unit (24). The image processing unit (120) processes the first image and the second image. More specifically, the image processing unit (120) generates product information indicating a product (50) taken out from a product shelf (40), by processing the first image and the second image. Further, the image processing unit (120) generates customer attribute information of a customer taking out the product (50), by processing the first image. Then, the image processing unit (120) causes a result storage unit (130) to store the product information and the customer attribute information in association with each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a processing apparatus (10) including: an acquisition unit (11) that acquires an image of a product held in a hand of a customer; an image analysis unit (12) that generates time-series information on a position of the product, based on the image; a determination unit (13) that determines whether the customer has performed a specific action for the product, based on a movement status of the product indicated by the generated time-series information; and a registration unit (14) that registers that the customer has performed the specific action.

Abstract: In an information processing device, a category setting unit sets a plurality of categories to a product, the category being a division representing characteristics of the product. A recommended product specifying unit specifies the product to be recommended to a customer as a recommended product. A display category specifying unit specifies a display category to be displayed as an advertisement, based on a condition including a customer attribute, from among the plurality of categories set to the recommended product. A display control unit displays a category display screen for displaying the display category on a display device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a processing apparatus (10) including: a registration unit (12) that recognizes, based on image processing, product discrimination information of a product picked up from a product placing space, and registers the recognized product discrimination information in association with customer discrimination information; and a settlement unit (13) that executes, when it is detected, based on image processing, that a customer having picked up the product performs a predetermined action, a settlement based on a registration content resulting from the registration unit (12).

Abstract: An item management apparatus manages the number of items displayed on an item shelf. An acquisition unit acquires an ideal quantity indicating an ideal number of items to be displayed, and a current quantity indicating the number of items being actually displayed on the item shelf. A detection unit detects the number of times of taking out and placing back an item with respect to the item shelf. An ideal quantity correction unit corrects the ideal quantity based on the current quantity and the number of times of taking out and placing back the item.

Abstract: A price information determination apparatus (10) includes an information acquisition unit (110), a price information determination unit (120), and an output unit (130). The information acquisition unit (110) acquires customer information of a customer when the customer selects a specific product (50) out of products (50) placed in a product shelving unit (40). The price information determination unit (120) generates price information of the selected product (50) by using the customer information acquired by the information acquisition unit (110). The output unit (130) outputs the customer information generated by the price information determination unit (120) to, for example, a display apparatus (30).
