A product information outputting method includes: detecting that a hand of a person is present in a first area that is set according to a position of a product; and when the hand of the person is not detected in any one of the first area and a second area and the product is not detected in a product detection area after presence of the hand was detected based on the detecting, determining that the product has been moved out of the product detection area, the second area containing the first area, the product detection area set according to the position.

Product information outputting method, control device, and computer-readable recording medium

In order to determine an orientation of a person in various situations, a movement determining method executed by an information processing apparatus is provided. In the movement determining method, first, the information processing apparatus acquires a first distance between a head of the person and a reference position and a second distance between a neck of the person and the reference position. Then, the information processing apparatus determines the orientation of the person on the basis of a comparison result between the first distance and the second distance.

Method and apparatus for determining movement

An information processing apparatus obtains a picture containing an image of a person from an imaging device. Also obtained are first data indicating distance of the person and other subjects seen in the picture from the imaging device, second data indicating distance of a wrist of the person from the imaging device, and third data indicating a coordinate position of the wrist in the picture. The information processing apparatus extracts a set of pixels whose coordinates fall within a specified coordinate range defined around the coordinate position of the wrist and whose distances from the imaging device fall within a specified distance range defined around the distance of the wrist. Then based on a ratio representing how many of the extracted pixels have a distinctive color tone, the information processing apparatus determines whether the person has picked up an object.
