Abstract: A work support device includes a first display control unit and a registration unit. The first display control unit performs control to display a label image having a message to a second user designated by a first user on a display screen relevant to the message. The registration unit takes the message as a task, and correlates and registers task information on the task with (i) display screen identification information to identify the display screen on which the label image is displayed and (ii) user identification information to identify the second user.

Abstract: A management assistance device includes a storage and a display controller. The storage stores management data of each of predetermined periods and comment information to be input by a user corresponding to a date. The display controller displays on a screen a chronological change of the management data as a graph. The display controller displays a predetermined mark at a position on the graph, the position corresponding to the date when the comment information is input, and, when the mark is selected by a user, displays on a screen the comment information corresponding to the date.

Abstract: A merchandise item registration apparatus includes: a left photoelectric sensor that senses an object in a first area located on one side of a recognition area for merchandise items in a merchandise item identification device; a right photoelectric sensor that senses the object in a second area located on the other side of the recognition area; and a camera that captures an image of the recognition area. A merchandise item is identified by sensing the object from the image of the recognition area captured by the camera, and a POS terminal is made to perform a merchandise item registration process or a provisional registration cancellation process in accordance with the temporal sequence of results of the sensing performed by the camera in the respective areas.

Abstract: An information display system according to the present invention includes: a graph display control unit configured to display a comparison graph in which a current transition graph representing a current period of time-series information and a previous transition graph representing a previous period of the time-series information are arranged such that time-axis components of the current period and time-axis components of the previous period which corresponds to one period before the time-axis components of the current period are placed in identical positions, in which the graph display control unit displays the previous transition graph including a portion corresponding to a future in the current period.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing apparatus for processing an image input from an image input device such as a digital camera. Upon reception of an image of an article from the image input device, this image processing apparatus discriminates the color and size of the article, and stores pieces of data indicating the discriminated color and size in correspondence with the image. When a color or size is designated as search data, the apparatus searches an image memory for images corresponding to the designated contents and displays them in the form of a list. When an article is imaged, pieces of feature data indicating the feature of the article are added and stored with respect to the image. When feature data is designated, the image of a desired article can be immediately searched out from many images.
