Abstract
A control device includes a behavior recognition unit, a determination unit, a subsequent behavior annunciation unit, a correct behavior annunciation unit, and a warning unit. The behavior recognition unit recognizes a behavior executed by a shopper. The determination unit determines a subsequent behavior as the behavior for the shopper to subsequently perform based on the behavior recognized by the behavior recognition unit. The subsequent behavior annunciation unit makes an annunciation member disposed so as to correspond to a behavior area where the subsequent behavior is to be executed operate in a first annunciation configuration based on the subsequent behavior determined by the determination unit. The correct behavior annunciation unit makes the annunciation member operate in a second annunciation configuration when the behavior recognition unit recognizes that the shopper executes the subsequent behavior. The warning unit which makes the annunciation member disposed so as to correspond to the behavior area where a different behavior from the subsequent behavior is executed operate in a warning configuration when the behavior recognition unit recognizes that the shopper executes the different behavior.
