A stock management method and system utilizes a mat that includes a plurality of sensors corresponding to a plurality of sensing areas, each of sensors is configured to sense an item placed on a certain sensing area. Partitions define a plurality of lanes on the mat. A controller receives sensing results of the plurality of the sensors and calculates a stock level of remained items on the mat based on the sensing results. One of the sensing areas is located in both of two lanes of the plurality of lanes.

Method and system for stock management

In an information providing terminal, a half mirror, which reflects display content of a third display panel toward an operator and causes incident light of a third camera to pass therethrough, is obliquely attached to a part above a fourth display panel by 45&#xb0; with respect to a horizontal direction. The third camera is disposed behind the half mirror. The operator has a conversation with a user while viewing a facial picture of the user which is projected by the third display panel and is reflected in the half mirror. The third camera disposed at a back of the half mirror images a facial picture of the operator from the front over the half mirror. At this time, the facial picture of the operator, which faces the front, is projected onto a first display panel of an information displaying terminal.

Information displaying system and information providing terminal

In an information providing terminal, a display switching controller instructs to switch between pieces of display content of a third display panel from an image of a face of a user captured by a first camera to an image captured by any one of a second camera, a third camera, and a fourth camera. The display switching controller instructs to switch between pieces of display content of a fourth display panel from an image of hands of the user captured by the second camera to an image which is captured by any one of the first camera, the third camera, and the fourth camera.
