  • Publication number: 20230094972
    Abstract: A customer management apparatus (10) includes an acquisition unit (110) and a determination unit (120). The acquisition unit (110) acquires, from a registration terminal (20), first face information and card identification information. When the first face information satisfies a first criterion regarding whether authentication is possible, the determination unit (120) causes a storage unit (130) to store the first face information and the card identification information in association with each other (first registration processing), and performs processing for allowing a customer to enter a store. The processing may be, for example, issuing, to a store entry apparatus (40), a command to open an automatic door, or may be issuing, to the store entry apparatus (40), a command (so-called lock releasing) to cause an automatic door to open when the customer stands in front of the automatic door.

  • Patent number: 10878272
    Abstract: A first analysis unit (202) acquires second image data. The second image data is generated by compressing first image data by a predetermined encoding method. Further, the first analysis unit (202) performs image analysis of the acquired second image data to detect second image data satisfying a first predetermined condition. A decoding unit (204) decodes second image data detected by the first analysis unit (202) into third image data having higher resolution than that of the second image data. In the second analysis (206), the image analysis of the third image data is performed.

  • Publication number: 20180239782
    Abstract: In order to shorten a time needed to extract an image meeting conditions from among a plurality of images, an image processing system 104 is provided with a detection unit 1043 and an acquisition unit 1044. From among a plurality of second images obtained by means of processing of reducing the capacitance of a plurality of first images, i.e., images to be processed, and/or processing of extracting an image meeting extraction conditions from among the first images, the detection unit 1043 detects a second image meeting retrieval conditions. The acquisition unit 1044 acquires, from among the first images or a plurality of generated images that are generated on the basis of the first images, an image corresponding to the second image detected by means of the detection unit.
