Abstract: The influence measurement device measures the influence of a moving first subject, for example, a person or an advertisement vehicle, on a second subject such as a person. The influence measurement device is equipped at least with: a measurement unit for measuring at least a influence; and an output unit for outputting the influence. Specifically, the influence measurement device determines whether there is a second subject on which a first subject may have an influence, determines whether there is a reaction from the second subject, and measures the influence of the first subject on the second subject based on the determination result. Also, the influence measurement device may be configured such that the presence of the second subject and the reaction from the second subject are determined by analyzing image data captured of the second subject from the first subject by using a camera.
