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

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.
