Abstract
In a remote customer service system, an operator who is at a remote place from a customer visiting a store serves the customer via a customer service terminal apparatus provided in the store. The remote customer service system includes the customer service terminal apparatus, an imaging apparatus imaging inside of the store, and a control apparatus. The control apparatus includes: an image recognizer that recognizes a subject included in a captured image by the imaging apparatus as a tracking target, and acquires information on the tracking target from the captured image; and a control information generator that generates control information for executing a notification that prompts the operator to start customer service on the basis of the information on the tracking target.
