An information processing apparatus includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires recipient identification information that identifies a recipient of an article stored in a warehouse and attribute information indicating an attribute that needs to be satisfied during storage of the article; an association unit that stores, in a storage region, storage space identification information that identifies a target storage space selected based on the attribute information, and article determination information that determines the article in association with each other; an article determination information transmission unit that transmits the article determination information to a terminal determined by using the recipient identification information, in response to the article being disposed in the target storage space; and an article ejection unit that ejects, from a predetermined outlet, the article stored in the target storage space in response to an input of the article determination information.

Information processing apparatus, article management system, and article management method

The present invention provides a processing apparatus () including an acquisition unit () that acquires a video generated by a surveillance camera, a generation unit () that generates a plurality of surveillance target video contents, based on the video, a condition setting unit () that sets a surveillant condition required of a surveillant who confirms the surveillance target video content, and a video distribution unit () that distributes the surveillance target video content to a terminal apparatus of a surveillant satisfying the surveillant condition.

Processing apparatus, and processing method

In a purchase management system using a self-checkout register, pieces of information, which are respectively registered by individual terminal devices, are shared among a plurality of customers. A terminal device capable of acquiring item identification information of each item to be purchased first acquires a cooperation ID. Next, the terminal device shares the information in real time with a cooperative terminal device that is another terminal device and includes the same cooperation ID.

Terminal device, purchase management method, and program

Provided is an object detection system including: a ranging device that emits light so as to pass through a detection region and receives reflected light in which the ranging device is configured to perform a scan by changing an optical path of emitted light; and a reflection member that is provided in a scan range so as to reflect light passing through the detection region toward the ranging device.

Object detection system and article display shelf

Provided is a sensor device including: a sensor device including: a sensor unit that emits light and receives light reflected by an object; and a reflection mirror unit that reflects light emitted from the sensor unit. A reflection surface of a reflection mirror included in the reflection mirror unit includes a first part and a second part having lower reflectance than the first part.

Sensor device and article display shelf

A store management apparatus () includes: a determination unit () that determines whether a predetermined reference is satisfied in a store; a mode switching unit () that switches, by using a determination result by the determination unit (), an operation mode of the store between an attended mode in which at least a salesclerk is permanently stationed and an unattended mode in which the salesclerk is not permanently stationed; and a setting unit () that switches a store-entry condition to the store according to the operation mode after switching when the mode switching unit () switches the operation mode, wherein the predetermined reference is absence of a customer near an entrance of the store at a reference time.

Store management apparatus, store management method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A management apparatus () includes: an area computation unit () that acquires an area of a displayable region of a display shelf in which a product can be displayed, and computes an area ratio of an area of a non-display region of the display shelf in which the product detected from a captured image is not displayed to the area of the display shelf; a decision unit () that decides whether to make a notification according to the area ratio; and a notification unit () that makes the notification when it is decided that the notification is to be made.

Target object detection apparatus, target object detection method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A processing apparatus includes at least one memory storing one or more instructions and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to execute the one or more instructions to acquire an image of a management target, where the image includes an object. The at least one processor is configured to execute the one or more instructions to further determine, based on layout information indicating locations of pieces of equipment installed in the management target and indicating a location of a marker installed in the management target, to which of the pieces of equipment the object included in the image is equivalent.

Processing apparatus, processing method, and non-transitory storage medium

The present invention provides a processing apparatus () including: an acquisition unit () that acquires an image including a product display shelf; a display location determination unit () that determines, based on the image, a display location of each of products; a computation unit () that computes, based on the determined display location of each of the products, a sales-related score relating to sales; and an output unit () that outputs the computed sales-related score.

An article registration apparatus includes: a reading unit that reads article identification information from an IC tag associated with an article by using at least one of antennas; a control unit that controls the reading unit; a judgement unit; and a determination unit, wherein the control unit causes the reading unit to read the article identification information by using a first antenna, the judgement unit judges whether a reading result of the first antenna satisfies a criterion, the control unit causes the reading unit to read the article identification information by using a second antenna different from the first antenna when the reading result of the first antenna satisfies the criterion, and the determination unit determines the article identification information to be output, by using the article identification information read by using the first antenna and the second antenna.

Article registration apparatus and method for reading article information by a second antenna when a reading result from a first antenna satisfies a criterion

Provided is a passenger monitoring system comprising: a ranging sensor that is provided in a vehicle and capable of outputting a distance information corresponding to a distance to a passenger in the vehicle; and a control unit that estimates a state of congestion of the vehicle based on the distance information.

Passenger monitoring system and method

Provided is a sensor apparatus including: a laser ranging device that scans a predetermined scan range with a laser light such that at least a part of the emitted laser light passes through a region including a predetermined detection region; and a reflection mirror that reflects at least a part of the laser light to a direction not parallel to an incident direction and is provided so that the laser light occurring after reflection passes through the detection region.

Sensor apparatus, article display shelf, and production management system

An inventory management server according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises: a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor performing operations to: generate expiration information including information for specifying a product and information for specifying a branch store that sells the product based on a stock quantity of the product in the branch store in which an employee of a flagship store replaces a plurality of products and a sell-by date of the product; set a timing to transmit the expiration information to a store terminal based on at least either a movement time or a movement distance from a position of the employee to the branch store that sells the product, and the sell-by date related to the product; and notify the store terminal of the expiration information based on the set timing.
