<Details of the first display>
The first display represents the content of the statement to be made by the operator. The statement to be made by the operator is a statement that prompts the customer to present a predetermined item. Specifically, a statement that prompts you to present a point card, such as “Do you have a point card?”, A statement that prompts you to present a coupon such as “Do you have a coupon?”, Or “I have a parking ticket” Such as "?" In addition, the message to be made by the operator may be a message indicating provision of a service. Specifically, it may be a statement such as “Do you want to warm your lunch?” Or “Do you want to divide the bag into two?” Further, the statement to be made by the operator may be a statement that recommends the purchase of a product. Specifically, it is a statement that recommends the purchase of an additional product, such as "How about product A together?"

<Display method of the first display>
There are various methods for displaying the first display by the first display unit 2020. For example, the first display unit 2020 performs the first display at a position on the first display screen 3020 that is easily noticeable by the operator. The position that can be easily recognized by the operator is the center of the first display screen 3020, the window already displayed on the first display screen 3020, or the like.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a first display screen 3020 on which the first display 20 is displayed. The main window 10 is a window showing the accounting status. In this example, the first display unit 2020 displays the first display 20 on the main window 10. Generally, an operator who performs accounting processing at an input terminal performs accounting processing while browsing a window or the like in which the status of accounting processing is displayed, such as the main window 10. Therefore, displaying the first display 20 on the main window 10 makes it easier for the operator to see the first display 20.

  In addition, for example, the first display unit 2020 may erase each display already displayed on the first display screen and display only the first display on the first display screen.

  In this way, the first display is displayed at a position that is easily noticeable by the operator, or the other displays such as the main window 10 are displayed for the operator by erasing other displays that are already displayed. The display becomes difficult to see. Therefore, the operator is motivated to “make a predetermined statement and turn off the first display”. Therefore, the operator actively makes a predetermined statement.

<Details of First Detection Unit 2040>
<< Remarks to detect >>
The predetermined message to be performed by the operator corresponds to the first display. Specifically, the predetermined utterance is a utterance having contents represented by the first display.

  Here, it is assumed that information representing a combination of “first display, predetermined utterance” is stored in advance inside or outside the information processing apparatus 2000. Hereinafter, information representing this combination is referred to as first detection information. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the first detection information in a table format. The table shown in FIG. 5 is referred to as a first detection information table 200. The first detection information table 200 has three columns: a key 202, a first display 204, and a predetermined message 206. The key 202 is a key for identifying each record in the first detection information table 200. The first display 204 represents the first display, and the predetermined utterance 206 represents the predetermined utterance corresponding to the first display 204.

  For example, the record on the first line indicates that the predetermined message to be made by the operator when the first display “confirmation of point card” is displayed on the first display screen is “Is there a point card?”.

  Here, a plurality of variations that mean the same content may be considered for the remarks to be made by the operator. For example, the remark requesting the presentation of the above point card may be a remark “Do you have a point card?”. When a plurality of variations can be considered in the utterance as described above, for example, the predetermined utterance 206 shows all the possible variations. The first detection unit 2040 determines that the predetermined utterance has been detected when any one of the plurality of utterances indicated in the predetermined utterance 206 is detected.

  Further, the predetermined utterance 206 may indicate a keyword to be included in the utterance instead of showing the entire utterance content in this way. For example, in the case of the above example, the keyword “point card” is indicated in the predetermined statement 206. Here, the predetermined utterance 206 may indicate a plurality of keywords.

  When a plurality of keywords are indicated in the predetermined utterance 206, the first detection unit 2040 may determine that the predetermined utterance has been detected when any of the plurality of keywords is included in the utterance. If all of the plurality of keywords are included in the utterance, it may be determined that the predetermined utterance has been detected. For example, when the predetermined utterance 206 indicates “keyword A or keyword B”, the first detection unit 2040 detects the predetermined utterance when either of the keywords A and B is included in the operator's utterance. Judge that On the other hand, when the predetermined utterance 206 indicates “keyword A and keyword B”, the first detection unit 2040 detects the predetermined utterance when both the keywords A and B are included in the operator's utterance. Judge that

<< Method of detection >>
For example, the first detection unit 2040 detects the operator's remarks by analyzing voice data in which the remarks of the operator are recorded. In this case, a microphone or the like that acquires sound is provided inside or outside the information processing apparatus 2000. The 1st detection part 2040 acquires the audio | voice acquired by this microphone etc.

  Here, a technique for detecting a predetermined utterance from voice data in which a person's utterance is recorded is a known technique. Therefore, details of this known technique are omitted.

<Details of First Control Unit 2060>
The first control unit 2060 changes or deletes the first display. By doing so, the first display is made less likely to obstruct the operator's work (accounting processing, etc.).

  “Deleting the first display” means deleting the first display from the first display screen. Hereinafter, the “change of the first display” will be specifically described.

<< Change of display position >>
For example, the first control unit 2060 changes the display position of the first display. For example, the first control unit 2060 changes the display position of the first display to a position that does not obstruct the operator's work, such as a position that is difficult for the operator to see. For example, when the display position of the first display is near the center of the first display screen, the first control unit 2060 changes the display position to a corner of the first display screen. In addition, when the display position of the first display displayed by the first display unit 2020 is on another window or the like, the first control unit 2060 changes the display position to a position that does not overlap the window or the like.

<< Change in size >>
For example, the first control unit 2060 reduces the size of the first display. For example, when the first display overlaps with a part of another window, the first control unit 2060 reduces the size of the first display so that it does not overlap with the window or the like. Further, the first control unit 2060 may change the display position of the first display whose size is reduced. For example, the first control unit 2060 reduces the size of the first display, and moves the first display to the corner of the first display screen.

<< Changes in content >>
For example, the 1st control part 2060 changes the display contents of the 1st display. For example, the first control unit 2060 changes the display content of the first display to content indicating that a predetermined message has been made. Specifically, the first control unit 2060 displays a strikethrough on a display such as “confirmation of point card”, or displays a check mark or the like next to the display.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the first display changed by the first control unit 2060. FIG. 6 shows a state after the operator has made a predetermined statement under the situation “the first display 20 is displayed on the main window 10” shown in FIG. 4. The first control unit 2060 reduces the size of the first display 20 and changes the display position of the first display 20 to the lower right corner of the first display screen 3020 that does not overlap the main window 10. Then, the first control unit 2060 displays a check mark on the first display 20 indicating that a predetermined statement has been made.

[Embodiment 2]
FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the second embodiment together with the use environment thereof. In FIG. 7, arrows indicate the flow of information. Further, in FIG. 7, each block represents a functional unit configuration, not a hardware unit configuration. Except as described below, the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the second embodiment has the same functions as the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the first embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 2000 according to the second embodiment includes an end reception unit 2080. The end reception unit 2080 receives an input indicating the end of the input process related to the customer. The input processing is, for example, merchandise accounting processing or order acceptance processing. The accounting process is a process in which information on a product purchased by a customer is read by an input terminal, a purchase price for the product is received from the customer, and the received price is input to the input terminal. More specifically, the accounting process is a series of “scan the barcode of each product at the cashier terminal, present the total amount to the customer, receive the price from the customer, and input the received price to the cashier terminal”. Processing. The order receiving process is a process of “listening to an item ordered by a customer and inputting the item to a portable terminal” at a restaurant, for example.

  The “input indicating the end of the accounting process” received by the end receiving unit 2080 is an input for confirming the product to be purchased and the price to be put into the cash register terminal. After this input, if there is a change, the change is output from the cashier terminal. The “input indicating the end of the order receiving process” received by the end receiving unit 2080 is, for example, an input for confirming the order. These inputs include, for example, pressing a button provided on the input terminal. Further, when a touch panel is provided on the first display screen, these inputs may be an operation of touching a confirmation button displayed on the display screen. Hereinafter, the button for performing input indicating the end of the input process to the input terminal will be referred to as an end button. However, the name of this button is not limited to “end button”.

  The end acceptance unit 2080 1) does not accept input until the first display is changed or deleted, or 2) rejects input accepted before the first display is changed or deleted. In the case of 1), for example, the end reception unit 2080 invalidates the above-described end button of the input terminal or the end button on the display screen until the first display is changed or deleted, thereby performing input by pressing the button. Do not accept.

  In the case of 2), the end receiving unit 2080 determines whether the first display has been changed or deleted when detecting an input by pressing the end button or the like. Then, when the first display is not changed or deleted, the process for ending the input process is not performed. At this time, for example, the end reception unit 2080 may display an error message or the like.

<Process flow>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 8 shows the flow of processing when the end receiving unit 2080 rejects the input received before the first display is changed or deleted.

  The first display unit 2020 displays the first display on the first display screen (S202). The end receiving unit 2080 receives an input indicating the end of the input process (S204). The process of FIG. 8 branches in step S206. When the 1st display is changed or deleted by the 1st control part 2060 (S206: YES), the process of FIG. 8 is complete | finished. In this case, the input process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the first display has not been changed or deleted by the first control unit 2060 (S206: NO), the process of FIG. 8 returns to step S204.

  According to the information processing apparatus 2000 of the present embodiment, the input process does not end until the first display is changed or deleted. Therefore, it is possible to prompt the operator to make a predetermined statement while preventing the operator from ending the input process without making the predetermined statement.

[Embodiment 3]
FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating an information processing apparatus 2000 according to the third embodiment together with its use environment. In FIG. 9, arrows indicate the flow of information. Further, in FIG. 9, each block represents a functional unit configuration, not a hardware unit configuration. Except as described below, the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the third embodiment has the same functions as those of the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the first or second embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 2000 according to the third embodiment includes an end reception unit 2080 and a warning unit 2100. The end acceptance unit 2080 of the third embodiment has the same function as the end acceptance unit 2080 of the second embodiment.

  The warning unit 2100 issues a warning when an input is made to the end reception unit 2080 before the first display is changed or deleted.

  The content of the warning performed by the warning unit 2100 is a warning indicating that a predetermined statement has not been made. For example, the content of the warning indicates the same content as the content of the first display. For example, when the content of the first display is “confirmation of the point card”, the content of the warning is “forgot to confirm the point card”.

  There are various ways in which the warning unit 2100 issues a warning. For example, the warning unit 2100 displays a display indicating a warning (hereinafter, a warning display) on the first display screen. Here, the situation in which the end acceptance unit 2080 issues a warning is a situation in which the operator does not make a predetermined speech even though the first display is displayed. Therefore, it is preferable that the warning unit 2100 displays the warning display so that it is more conspicuous than the first display. For example, the warning unit 2100 displays a warning display so as to overlap the first display.

  Further, for example, the warning unit 2100 may issue a warning by changing the content of the first display to the content indicating the warning.

  Further, for example, the warning unit 2100 may output the content of the warning by voice. For example, when the content of the first display is “confirmation of point card”, the warning unit 2100 outputs a voice “forgetting confirmation of the point card”. Further, the warning unit 2100 may issue a warning by outputting a warning sound such as a beep sound.

<Process flow>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the third embodiment. Of the steps in FIG. 10, the steps having the same reference numerals in FIG. 8 represent the same processing as the steps having the same reference numerals.

  In step S206, when the first display is changed or deleted by the first control unit 2060 (S206: YES), the process of FIG. 10 ends. In this case, the input process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the first display is not changed or deleted by the first control unit 2060 in step S206 (S206: NO), the process of FIG. 10 proceeds to step S302. In step S302, the warning unit 2100 performs an output indicating a warning.

  Here, in FIG. 10, the processing by the information processing apparatus 2000 is completed when step S <b> 302 is executed. However, some processing may be performed after step S302. For example, the information processing apparatus 2000 receives an input indicating the end of the input process again after giving a warning by the warning unit 2100. If the first display is not changed or deleted even when an input indicating the end of the input process is received again, the information processing apparatus 2000 ends the process. This flow of processing means that if the operator wants to finish the input processing even if a warning is given once, the operator's operation is accepted and the input processing is finished.

  For example, the warning unit 2100 may accept an operator response to the warning. For example, this reply is an input for selecting either one of 1) continuing the end of the input process or 2) canceling the end of the input process. If 1) is selected, the input process is terminated. On the other hand, if 2) is selected, the process of FIG. 10 returns to step S204.

  According to the information processing apparatus 2000 of the present embodiment, a warning is given to an operator who tries to end input processing without making a predetermined statement. Thereby, it is possible to prompt the operator to make a predetermined statement while preventing the operator from performing the input process without making the predetermined statement.

[Embodiment 4]
FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the fourth embodiment together with its use environment. In FIG. 11, arrows indicate the flow of information. Further, in FIG. 11, each block represents a functional unit configuration, not a hardware unit configuration. Except as described below, the information processing apparatus 2000 of the fourth embodiment has the same functions as the information processing apparatus 2000 of the first to third embodiments.

  The information processing apparatus 2000 according to the fourth embodiment includes an end reception unit 2080 and an evaluation unit 2120. The end acceptance unit 2080 of the fourth embodiment has the same function as the end acceptance unit 2080 of the second embodiment.

  The evaluation unit 2120 performs operator evaluation. Moreover, the evaluation part 2120 makes an operator's evaluation low, when input is performed with respect to the completion | finish reception part 2080 in the state in which the 1st display is not changed or deleted.

  For example, the evaluation of the operator is 1) when the action to be performed is not performed or the action that should not be performed is low, and 2) when the action that should be performed or the action that should not be performed is not performed High evaluation. For example, the evaluation unit 2120 gives points to the operator so that the higher the evaluation is, the higher the score is. In this case, the operator's evaluation can be lowered by subtracting or not adding points to the operator's score. In this case, the operator's evaluation can be increased by adding or not subtracting the operator's score.

  For example, when an input is made to the end acceptance unit 2080 in a state where the first display is not changed or deleted, the evaluation unit 2120 performs a deduction or no addition for the operator's score. , Lower the evaluation of the operator. When lowering the operator's evaluation by not adding points, the evaluation unit 2120, when input is made to the end reception unit 2080 with the first display being changed or deleted, with respect to the score of the operator To add points. By doing so, the operator's evaluation when the input is made to the end receiving unit 2080 in a state where the first display is not changed or deleted, the end receiving unit in a state where the first display is changed or deleted. It becomes lower than the operator's evaluation when an input is made to 2080.

<Process flow>
FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the fourth embodiment. Of the steps in FIG. 12, the steps having the same reference numerals in FIG. 8 represent the same processing as the steps having the same reference numerals.

  In step S206, when the first display is changed or deleted by the first control unit 2060 (S206: YES), the process of FIG. 12 ends. In this case, the input process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the first display is not changed or deleted by the first control unit 2060 in step S206 (S206: NO), the process of FIG. 12 proceeds to step S402. In step S402, the evaluation unit 2120 performs a process (such as a deduction process) that lowers the operator's evaluation.

  The flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 of Embodiment 4 is not limited to the flow shown in FIG. For example, when the first display is changed or deleted in step S206 (S206: YES), the evaluation unit 2120 performs a process for increasing the operator's evaluation (such as a point addition process). On the other hand, when the first display is not changed or deleted in step S206 (S206: NO), the evaluation unit 2120 does not perform a process of increasing the operator's evaluation. Even in this way, the operator's evaluation when the end reception unit 2080 receives an input in a state where the first display is not changed or deleted, as in the case where the process shown in FIG. 12 is performed, The evaluation can be made lower than the operator's evaluation when the end reception unit 2080 receives an input in a state where the first display is changed or deleted.

  According to the information processing apparatus 2000 of the present embodiment, when an input indicating the end of the input process is performed before the first display is changed or deleted, the operator's evaluation becomes low. For this reason, the operator makes a predetermined statement in order to prevent the evaluation of the operator from being lowered. Thus, according to the information processing apparatus 2000 of the present embodiment, an incentive to make a predetermined statement can be given to the operator.

[Embodiment 5]
For example, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the fifth embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 1 as with the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the first embodiment. The information processing apparatus 2000 according to the fifth embodiment has the same functions as those of the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the first to fourth embodiments except for the points described below.

  The operation | movement of the 1st display part 2020 of Embodiment 5 changes according to the time of operation | movement. Specifically, the first display unit 2020 of the fifth embodiment 1) displays a different first display according to the operation time point, or 2) displays the first display according to the operation time point, Does not display.

  For example, the first display unit 2020 uses a first display associated with a predetermined period. Specifically, the first display unit 2020 determines a predetermined period including the time point at which the first display unit 2020 operates, and displays a first display corresponding to the predetermined period. For example, the predetermined period is an arbitrary period such as “6 o'clock to 9 o'clock” or “September to October”.

  In this case, the first display unit 2020 acquires information indicating the association “first display for a predetermined period” (hereinafter, referred to as first display information). The first display information is stored in advance in a storage device inside or outside the information processing apparatus 2000.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating the first display information indicating the first display for each predetermined period in a table format. The table shown in FIG. 13 is referred to as a first display information table 300. The first display information table 300 has three columns: a key 302, a predetermined period 304, and a first display 306. A key 302 indicates a key for identifying each record. The predetermined period 304 represents the predetermined period described above. A first display 306 indicates a first display corresponding to the predetermined period 304.

  For example, in the first display information table 300, in the record on the first line, the first display 306 “confirm the point card” is associated with the predetermined period 304 “other than 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock”. In this case, the first display unit 2020 displays a first display of “confirm the point card” in a time zone other than 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock, but this first display in the time zone from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Does not display the display. For example, this record assumes a situation in which “there are many customers in the commuting time zone from 6:00 to 9:00, so the work of confirming the point card may be omitted”.

  Further, for example, in the record in the second row of the first display information table 300, the first display 306 “Guidance for Campaign A” is associated with the predetermined period 304 “July 2014”. If a product is being campaigned for a period of time, the operator may have to say "Recommend the product to the customer" for the duration of the campaign. Therefore, for example, as shown in the second row record of the first display information table 300, the campaign period is indicated by a predetermined period 304, and a display for prompting guidance of the campaign is created by the first display 306. deep.

  Here, when the first display unit 2020 operates at a time that is not included in any period shown in the first display information table 300, for example, the first display unit 2020 does not display the first display. For example, a default first display may be prepared. In this case, when the first display unit 2020 operates at a time that does not correspond to any period shown in the first display information table 300, the first display unit 2020 displays the default first display.

<Process flow>
FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the fifth embodiment. The first display unit 2020 acquires a first display associated with a predetermined period including the current time (S502). When the first display is acquired (S504: YES), the process of FIG. 14 proceeds to step S506. On the other hand, when the first display is not acquired (S504: NO), the process of FIG. 14 ends. In step S506, the first display unit 2020 displays the acquired first display screen 3020.

  According to the information processing apparatus 2000 of the present embodiment, a first display corresponding to the time when the first display unit 2020 operates is displayed on the first display screen 3020. In this way, when the utterance to be performed by the operator differs depending on the time when the input process is performed, the first display corresponding to the predetermined utterance according to that time is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to prompt the operator to speak appropriately according to the time when the input process is performed.

[Embodiment 6]
FIG. 15 is a block diagram illustrating an information processing apparatus 2000 according to the sixth embodiment together with its use environment. In FIG. 15, arrows indicate the flow of information. Further, in FIG. 15, each block represents a functional unit configuration, not a hardware unit configuration. Except as described below, the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the sixth embodiment has the same functions as the information processing apparatuses 2000 according to the first to fifth embodiments.

  The information processing apparatus 2000 according to the sixth embodiment includes a recognition unit 2140. The recognition unit 2140 recognizes a customer. Then, the first display unit 2020 of the sixth embodiment controls the first display according to the recognition result by the recognition unit 2140.

  There are various “customer recognition” performed by the recognition unit 2140. Hereinafter, a method for recognizing a customer will be specifically exemplified.

<< Recognition of age and gender >>
For example, the recognition unit 2140 recognizes customer characteristics such as age and gender. This recognition is performed, for example, by analyzing a customer's face and clothes taken by a camera. Here, a technique for determining characteristics such as a person's age and sex from a person's face and clothes in the image is a known technique. Therefore, detailed description regarding this technique is omitted.

  The camera that images the customer may be a dedicated camera that is installed to capture the customer that is the target of the input process, or may be a camera that is installed in the store for other purposes. A camera installed in a store for other purposes is, for example, a surveillance camera.

  For example, the information processing apparatus 2000 acquires and analyzes an image stored in the camera. When an image captured by the camera is stored in a storage device outside the camera, the information processing device 2000 may acquire the image from the storage device. Further, the camera may be configured to store the captured image in a storage device provided inside the information processing apparatus 2000. In this case, the information processing apparatus 2000 acquires an image from a storage unit provided inside the information processing apparatus 2000.

  Recognition of customer features may be performed by analyzing customer voices recorded using a microphone or the like. Here, a technique for determining characteristics such as age and sex of a person from the recorded voice of the person is a known technique. Therefore, detailed description regarding this technique is omitted.

  The microphone for recording the customer's voice may be a dedicated microphone installed for recording the voice of the customer to be input processed, or may be a microphone installed for other purposes. . The “microphone installed for other purposes” is, for example, a microphone used by the first detection unit 2040 to record an operator's voice.

  When the sound recorded by the microphone is stored in a storage device external to the information processing device 2000, the information processing device 2000 acquires the sound from the storage device. Further, the microphone may be configured to store the recorded voice in a storage device provided inside the information processing apparatus 2000. In this case, the information processing apparatus 2000 acquires sound from a storage unit provided inside the information processing apparatus 2000.

<< Recognition of customer ID >>
The recognition unit 2140 may recognize the customer by recognizing an ID or the like assigned to the customer. For example, when a point card or a membership card possessed by a customer is read by an input terminal, the customer's ID (membership number or the like) is recognized using information read from the card.

<Details of first display according to customer>
For example, the first display unit 2020 performs a different first display according to the recognized customer. For example, it is assumed that there are a product A for women and a product B for men as target products of a certain campaign. In this case, when the customer recognized by the recognition unit 2140 is a woman, the first display unit 2020 displays a first display of “recommend product A”. On the other hand, when the customer recognized by the recognition unit 2140 is a male, the first display unit 2020 displays a first display “recommend product B”.

  For example, the 1st display part 2020 determines the presence or absence of the display of a 1st display according to the recognized customer. For example, it is assumed that a product A that is a campaign target product is a product for women. In this case, the first display unit 2020 displays the first display “recommend product A” only when the customer recognized by the recognition unit 2140 is a woman.

  For example, when the customer is a small child, it may be preferable not to recommend the creation of a membership card. In such a case, for example, the first display unit 2020 displays the first display “recommends member card creation” only when the recognized customer is a predetermined age or older. This predetermined age is set in advance.

  Further, for example, giving the same guidance to a customer who repeatedly visits a store every time may damage the customer's mood and lead to a decline in the quality of service. In such a case, it is preferable that the operator recommends the purchase of the product A targeted for the campaign only for a customer who has made a purchase for the first time during the campaign period, for example. Therefore, the first display unit 2020 displays the first display “recommends the purchase of the product A” only when the recognized customer is the customer who is the target of the input process for the first time during the campaign period. Whether or not a customer has been subject to input processing for a predetermined period of time is determined by associating the customer's ID with a point card or membership card read at the time of input processing, for example. It can be grasped by storing the history of input processing.

<Specific example of first display information>
The 1st display part 2020 uses the 1st display information which matched characteristics, such as customer's age or sex, or customer's ID, and the 1st display. Hereinafter, customer characteristics and IDs are collectively referred to as “customer attributes”. The first display information is stored in advance in a storage device inside or outside the information processing apparatus 2000, similarly to the first display information described in the fifth embodiment.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating the first display information in which customer attributes are associated with the first display in a table format. The table shown in FIG. 16 is referred to as a first display information table 400. The first display information table 400 has five columns: a key 402, an age 406, a gender 408, a customer ID 410, and a first display 412. A key 402 is a key for identifying each record. Age 406 represents a condition relating to age, gender 408 represents a condition relating to gender, and customer ID 410 represents a condition relating to customer ID. The first display 412 is a first display associated with a combination of “age 406, gender 408, customer ID 410”. Here, the blank age 406, gender 408, or customer ID 410 indicates no designation.

  For example, the record in the first row associates the first display 412 “recommend product A” with the gender 408 “female”. This record is a first display for prompting the operator to make a predetermined statement “recommend product A” only when the customer is a woman.

<Process flow>
FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the sixth embodiment. Of the steps in FIG. 17, the steps having the same reference numerals in FIG. 14 represent the same processing as the steps having the same reference numerals.

  The recognition unit 2140 recognizes the customer (S602). The first display unit 2020 acquires a first display corresponding to the recognized customer attribute (S604). Then, as in the case of the fifth embodiment, when the first display is acquired (S504: YES), the first display unit 2020 displays the first display on the first display screen (S506).

  According to the information processing apparatus 2000 of the present embodiment, the first display corresponding to the recognized customer is displayed. Therefore, when the statement to be made by the operator differs depending on the customer, the operator can be prompted to make an appropriate statement according to the customer.

[Embodiment 7]
FIG. 18 is a block diagram illustrating an information processing apparatus 2000 according to the seventh embodiment together with its use environment. In FIG. 18, arrows indicate the flow of information. Further, in FIG. 18, each block represents a functional unit configuration, not a hardware unit configuration. Except as described below, the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the seventh embodiment has the same functions as the information processing apparatuses 2000 according to the first to sixth embodiments.

  The second display screen 3040 is a display screen that the customer can browse. For example, the second display screen 3040 is a display screen that is installed in the input terminal and installed in the direction of the customer. The second display screen 3040 may be provided integrally with the information processing apparatus 2000 or may be provided as a separate body.

  The information processing apparatus 2000 according to the seventh embodiment includes a second display unit 2160, a second detection unit 2180, and a second control unit 2200. Second display unit 2160 displays the second display on second display screen 3040. Here, the second display is a display representing a predetermined behavior of the customer related to the predetermined utterance.

  The second detection unit 2180 detects customer behavior. The second control unit 2200 changes or deletes the second display. Here, the change or deletion of the second display by the second control unit 2200 is performed when 1) a predetermined utterance is detected by the first detection unit 2040, or 2) when a predetermined action is detected by the second detection unit 2180. To be done.

  Further, in the seventh embodiment, the first control unit 2060 performs the first display when 1) a predetermined speech is detected by the first detection unit 2040, or 2) when a predetermined action is detected by the second detection unit 2180. Is changed or deleted.

<Details of Second Display Unit 2160>
As described above, the second display displayed on the second display unit 2160 represents a predetermined action related to a predetermined utterance. For example, when the predetermined utterance is “an utterance to be performed by the operator”, the predetermined action is an action related to the utterance. For example, it is assumed that a statement to be made by the operator is a statement “Do you have a point card?”. In this case, the predetermined action performed by the customer is an action “present a point card”. Therefore, the second display is a content that prompts a predetermined action “present a point card”, such as “Please present if you have a point card”.

  The information processing apparatus 2000 uses information (hereinafter referred to as second detection information) indicating an association of “first display, predetermined utterance, second display, predetermined action”. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 2000 acquires the second correspondence information, 1) displays the first display on the first display screen 3020 by the first display unit 2020, and 2) by the second display unit 2160. The second display is displayed on the second display screen 3040. The second correspondence information is stored in a storage unit provided inside or outside the information processing apparatus 2000.

  For example, the method in which the second display unit 2160 performs the second display is the same as the method in which the first display unit 2020 performs the first display.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating the second detection information in a table format. The table shown in FIG. 19 is referred to as a second detection information table 500. The second detection information table 500 has five columns of a key 502, a first display 504, a predetermined message 506, a second display 508, and a predetermined action 510. The key 502 is a key for identifying each record in the second detection information table 500. For example, the record on the second line of the second detection information table 500 is a record related to a predetermined message “recommend product A to the customer”. Therefore, the second display 508 viewed by the customer is a display recommending the product A “How about the product A?”.

  Here, when the customer purchases the product A, it is not necessary to recommend the product A to the customer. Therefore, the record indicates “buy product A” as the predetermined action 510. As a result, when the customer purchases the product A, the second control unit 2200 changes or deletes the second display “How about the product A?”.

  The action of “purchasing product A” can be detected by, for example, analyzing a customer's purchased product imaged by a camera and determining whether or not the product A is included in the purchased product. For example, the action can also be detected by determining whether or not the product A has been read by the input terminal.

<Second detection unit 2180>
For example, the 2nd detection part 2180 detects a customer's speech and a customer's operation. Here, the method by which the second detection unit 2180 recognizes the customer's statement is the same as the method by which the recognition unit 2140 recognizes the customer's statement, for example.

  When the second detection unit 2180 detects a customer's motion, the information processing apparatus 2000 recognizes the customer's motion by acquiring and analyzing an image from a camera that images the customer's motion. Here, a technique for detecting a person's movement from an image (moving image) obtained by capturing a person is a known technique. Therefore, detailed description regarding this technique is omitted.

  For example, the 2nd detection part 2180 may recognize a customer's specific action by acquiring information from an input terminal. This specific action is, for example, an operation of presenting a point card or a membership card. When a customer presents a point card or a membership card, the operator reads these cards using an input terminal. Therefore, by obtaining information that these cards have been read from the input terminal, it is possible to detect the behavior of the customer who has presented these cards.

<Details of Second Control Unit 2200>
As described above, the second control unit 2200 displays the second display when 1) a predetermined speech is detected by the first detection unit 2040, or 2) when a predetermined action is detected by the second detection unit 2180. Make changes or deletions. For example, in the case of presenting the above point card, if the operator says “Is there a point card?”, It is not necessary to display “Please present the point card” on the second display screen. Therefore, the second control unit 2200 changes or deletes the second display in the case of 1). In addition, even when the customer performs a predetermined action “present a point card”, it is not necessary to display “please present a point card” on the second display screen. Therefore, the second control unit 2200 also changes or deletes the second display even in the case of 2).

  The method of changing or deleting the second display by the second control unit 2200 is the same as the “method of changing or deleting the first display by the first control unit 2060” exemplified in the first embodiment, for example.

<Process flow>
20 and 21 are flowcharts illustrating the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 2000 according to the seventh embodiment. FIG. 20 shows the flow of processing for controlling the first display. On the other hand, FIG. 21 shows a flow of processing for controlling the second display.

  In FIG. 20, first, the first display unit 2020 displays the first display on the first display screen (S702). Next, when a predetermined utterance is detected by the first detection unit 2040 or a predetermined action is detected by the second detection unit 2180 (S704: YES), the processing of FIG. 20 proceeds to step S706. On the other hand, when neither the predetermined utterance nor the predetermined action is detected (S704: NO), the process of FIG. 20 proceeds to step S704 again.

  In step S706, the first control unit 2060 changes or deletes the first display.

  In FIG. 21, first, the second display unit 2160 displays the second display on the second display screen (S802). Next, when a predetermined utterance is detected by the first detection unit 2040 or a predetermined action is detected by the second detection unit 2180 (S804: YES), the process of FIG. 21 proceeds to step S806. On the other hand, when neither the predetermined utterance nor the predetermined action is detected (S804: NO), the process of FIG. 21 proceeds to step S804 again.

  In step S806, the second control unit 2200 changes or deletes the second display.

  According to the information processing apparatus 2000 of this embodiment, a display representing a predetermined action related to a predetermined message to be performed by the operator is performed on the second display screen viewed by the customer. In the case where the predetermined message represents “an message that prompts the customer to perform a predetermined action”, for example, a display corresponding to the operator's message is performed as the second display. Therefore, even if the operator does not make a predetermined statement, the probability that the customer will perform the predetermined action can be increased.
