Abstract: A control unit refers to a logical library information storage unit in response to a reception of an export process command from an external device, identifies one of the logical library units which is correlated with a physical recording medium in a physical library unit which has been ordered by the export process command to been ejected from an ejection slot, and correlates, in the identified logical library unit, the ejection slot to a logical recording medium which is correlated to the physical recording medium which has been ordered to been ejected.

Abstract: Disclosed is a library apparatus and the like capable of correlating a slot to be shared into which a recording medium has been thrown to an appropriate logical library easily. In case that import processing to take the recording medium 5 into an external apparatus 7 is directed, a control unit 2 of a library apparatus 1 identifies, by referring to the logical library information 3, the logical library 6 connected to the external apparatus 7 which directed the import processing and correlates the slot 4 have been thrown the recording medium 5 to the identified logical library 6.

Abstract: A customer management system includes a shop terminal having a reading unit reading personal information from a storage medium and a writing unit, and includes a server having an allocation unit and a transaction information storage unit. The reading unit reads from the storage medium all shop IDs and customer IDs. The server also has a customer ID extraction unit extracting the shop ID related to a shop and the customer ID associated with the shop ID from all the shop IDs and the customer IDs, a transaction information extraction unit extracting from the transaction information storage unit transaction information associated with the shop ID and the customer ID, and a transaction information update unit storing transaction information, which is obtained by adding information on a transaction with the customer to the extracted transaction information, in the transaction information storage unit so as to be associated with the customer ID.

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes carriages that are arranged in a matrix and store and transport objects, and a carriage shifting mechanism that is fixed to the storage apparatus and shifts the carriages.

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a plurality of carriages that are arranged in a matrix and store and transport objects. The plurality of carriages includes a first carriage that stores and transports the object, a second carriage that stores and transports the object, a third carriage that stores and transports the object, and a shifting unit that shifts the third carriage to a position different from matrix positions of the first and the second carriages, and shifts the second carriage to a position of the third carriage when the first carriage shifts to a position of the second carriage.
