- the POS device 210 may be a normal cash register where an employee registers purchased items and performs settlement.
- the POS device 210 may be a semi-self-service cash register where an employee registers purchased items and the customer pays at a settlement machine.
- the POS device 210 does not need to be a manned cash register that requires the involvement of an employee, and the POS device 210 may be an unmanned cash register or a self-service cash register where the customer performs everything from registering purchased items to settlement.
- the video acquisition unit 111 acquires from the camera 200 the image or video acquired by the camera 200.
- the video acquisition unit 111 may acquire the image or video acquired by the camera 200 in real time, or may acquire the image or video from a video storage device that stores the image or video acquired by the camera 200.
- the camera 200 may include a microphone, and the video acquisition unit 111 may acquire audio in addition to the image or video.
- the customer detection unit 113 detects customers from images of the inside of the store acquired by the video acquisition unit 111.
- the customer detection unit 113 detects customers from images acquired by the camera 200 that captures the area at the entrance of the store, for example.
- the customer detection unit 113 detects a person walking through the entrance of the store toward the inside of the store as a customer.
- the customer detection unit 113 assigns a customer ID (identifier) to each customer detected at the entrance of the store.
- the customer detection unit 113 may detect customers from images acquired by the camera 200 that captures an area of the store other than the entrance.
- the customer detection unit 113 may estimate attributes of the detected customers based on the images of the customers.
- the customer attributes include, for example, gender, age, and whether or not the customer is pregnant.
- the customer detection unit 113 will not detect the person as a customer if the person is a store employee.
- the customer detection unit 113 may detect a person entering or leaving an area where customers are not allowed, such as the area where the cash register is operated or the back room, as an employee rather than a customer.
- the customer detection unit 113 may detect a person wearing a store uniform, a person wearing a store employee ID card, or a person wearing an intercom as an employee. If facial information of employees is registered, the customer detection unit 113 may detect a person as an employee if the face of the person detected in the image matches or is similar to the registered facial information.
- the grouping unit 114 groups multiple customers detected by the customer detection unit 113 into multiple groups each including one or more customers based on the image acquired by the camera 200. For example, the grouping unit 114 groups customers entering the store based on the distance between customers detected by the customer detection unit 113 in the image acquired by the camera 200 capturing the area at the entrance to the store. The grouping unit 114 may also group customers entering the store based on the orientation of the customers detected by the customer detection unit 113 in the image acquired by the camera 200. When the grouping unit 114 can acquire images from a camera installed in the parking lot, it may group customers exiting the same car in the parking lot into the same group.
- the grouping unit 114 groups customers whose distance between them is within a predetermined value into the same group.
- the predetermined value that serves as the criterion for determining whether they are in the same group may be changed depending on the degree of congestion in the surrounding area, for example, the number of people per unit area.
- the grouping unit 114 groups the customers who are holding hands into the same group.
- the grouping unit 114 may measure the time that the customers face each other. When the measured time is equal to or longer than a certain time, the grouping unit 114 may group the customers into the same group. Note that when only one customer is detected from an image, the grouping unit 114 groups the customer into a group to which only that person belongs.
- the grouping unit 114 may group the customers based on the presence or absence of conversation between the customers, in addition to the distance or direction. For example, when the distance between multiple customers is within a predetermined value and the customers who are within the predetermined value are talking to each other, the grouping unit 114 groups the customers into the same group. The grouping unit 114 may count the number of times that the customers have talked to each other, and group the customers into the same group if the customers have talked to each other two or more times. In that case, when a customer has only one conversation with an unknown person, such as when the customers bump into each other, it is possible to prevent the customer and the unknown person from being grouped into the same group. The grouping unit 114 may group the customers by applying the images acquired by the camera 200 and the voices of the customers to the trained model. The grouping unit 114 corresponds to the grouping unit 11 shown in FIG. 1.
- the customer information storage unit 121 stores information about each customer detected by the customer detection unit 113.
- the information stored in the customer information storage unit 121 is also called customer information.
- Figure 3 shows a specific example of customer information stored in the customer information storage unit 121.
- a customer ID indicates an identifier given to a customer.
- the entry time indicates the time when the customer identified by the customer ID entered the store.
- the customer attributes indicate the estimated attributes of the customer identified by the customer ID.
- the group ID indicates the identifier of the group to which the customer identified by the customer ID belongs.
- the customer detection unit 113 assigns a customer ID to the detected customer and records the assigned customer ID in the customer information.
- the customer detection unit 113 also records the time the customer was detected at the store entrance in the customer information as the customer's entry time.
- the customer detection unit 113 estimates the attributes of the customer and records the estimated customer attributes in the customer information.
- the grouping unit 114 records the group ID of the group to which each customer belongs in the group ID.
- the grouping unit 114 records the same group ID for customers belonging to the same group.
- the grouping unit 114 may regroup depending on the customer's subsequent behavior. For example, the grouping unit 114 determines whether a customer to be added to a group is detected based on an image of the customer acquired at a location other than the store entrance. As one example, the grouping unit 114 tracks the movement of customers within the store using images from cameras installed at multiple locations within the store. The grouping unit 114 determines whether two or more customers who were grouped into separate groups when they entered the store are moving together within the store after entering. If the grouping unit 114 determines that they are moving together, it determines that a customer to be added to a group has been detected. In that case, if the grouping unit 114 determines that a customer to be added has been detected, it adds that customer to that group.
- a customer with customer ID "001” is grouped into a group with group ID "Gr01" when entering the store, and a customer with customer ID "004" is grouped into a group with group ID "Gr04".
- the grouping unit 114 may add the customer with customer ID "004" to the group with group ID "Gr01”.
- the grouping unit 114 may add the customer with customer ID "004" to the group with group ID "Gr01” by changing the group ID of the customer with customer ID "004" from “Gr04" to "Gr01" in the customer information stored in the customer information storage unit 121.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 determines or estimates the attributes of the group for each group.
- Group attributes include, for example, family, couple, lover, and friend.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 determines the attributes of the group based on, for example, at least one of the distance between customers included in an image of customers entering a store, the number of customers belonging to the group, and the attributes of each of the customers belonging to the group. Instead of or in addition to the distance, number of customers, and attributes, the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine the attributes of a group based on the presence or absence of conversation between customers belonging to the group and the content of such conversation.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 may further determine or estimate the family structure of the group based on the attributes of each customer belonging to the group. For example, the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine the number of generations of a family. Specifically, the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine whether a family is made up of adults only, whether it includes adults and children, or whether it includes two generations of adults and children. The group attribute determination unit 115 may determine whether a pregnant customer is included in the group.
- the POS data acquisition unit 112 acquires POS data from the POS device 210.
- the POS data includes the time when the customer made the payment and information about the product purchased by the customer. If multiple POS devices 210 are installed in a store, the POS data includes information identifying the POS device 210 at which the customer made the payment.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 identifies the group to which the customer belongs based on an image of the customer who made the payment. For example, the purchasing group identification unit 116 detects the customer from an image acquired from the camera 200 that captures the area of the POS device 210, and identifies the detected customer. The purchasing group identification unit 116 refers to the customer information storage unit 121 and identifies the group to which the identified customer belongs. The purchasing group identification unit 116 determines that the identified group is a group in which a purchase has been made. If even one of multiple customers belonging to a group has made a payment, the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines that the group is a group in which a purchase has been made.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 may determine whether or not a customer has made a payment based on an image of the area of the POS device 210. For example, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may determine that a customer has made a payment when it is detected from the image that a receipt has been issued by the POS device 210 or that the customer has received a receipt. Alternatively, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may determine that a customer has made a payment when it is detected from the image that change or a card serving as a payment medium has been discharged from the POS device 210 or that the customer has received change or a card.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 may determine that a customer has made a payment when it is detected from the image that the customer has held a card or a terminal device over the POS device 210. If a customer is detected in the image of the area of the POS device 210 but a payment is not detected, the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines that the customer has not made a payment.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 may obtain the time of payment from an image acquired from the camera 200 capturing the area of the POS device 210. For example, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may obtain the time at which it is detected in the image that a receipt has been issued as the time of payment. Alternatively, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may obtain the time at which it is detected in the POS device 210 that change or the payment medium presented by the customer has been dispensed as the time of payment. Furthermore, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may obtain the time at which it is detected in the image that the customer has moved the payment medium to a specified position as the time of payment.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 may associate the group in which a purchase has been made with the POS data based on the time of the payment acquired above and the time of the payment included in the POS data acquired by the POS data acquisition unit 112. For example, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may associate, with the group in which a purchase has been made, the POS data acquired from the POS device 210 at which the customer has made a payment, which has the smallest difference between the time of the payment included in the POS data and the time of the payment acquired from the image. If one image contains multiple POS devices 210, the purchasing group identification unit 116 may determine at which of the multiple POS devices 210 the customer has made a payment, depending on the customer's position on the image. The purchasing group identification unit 116 corresponds to the group identification unit 12 shown in FIG. 1.
- the group information storage unit 122 stores information about each group.
- the information stored in the group information storage unit 122 is also called group information.
- Figure 4 shows a specific example of group information stored in the group information storage unit 122.
- group ID indicates an identifier for the group.
- Group attributes indicate the attributes of the group identified by the group ID.
- Family structure indicates the family structure of the group identified by the group ID.
- Purchase indicates whether or not a purchase has been made in the group identified by the group ID.
- Purchased items indicate items purchased by customers belonging to the group identified by the group ID.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 records the determined or estimated attributes for the group in the group information. Furthermore, if the group attribute determination unit 115 determines or estimates the family structure, it records the estimated family structure in the group information.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 records "Yes" indicating that a purchase was made in the group information for groups that have made a purchase. For example, in the group information, the initial value of the information indicating whether or not a purchase was made for each group is "No" indicating that no purchase was made.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 changes the information indicating whether or not a purchase was made from “No" to "Yes" for groups that have made a purchase. If the purchasing group identification unit 116 associates POS data with a group that has made a purchase, it records the products purchased by the customers included in the POS data in the group information.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 calculates the group purchasing rate based on the number of groups that enter the store in a specified period and the number of groups that are determined to have made a purchase in the specified period.
- the purchasing rate calculated by the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 is also called the group purchasing rate.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 refers to the customer information storage unit 121 and the group information storage unit 122, for example, to obtain the total number of groups that entered the store in a specified period and the number of groups that entered the store in a specified period and made a purchase.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 calculates the ratio of groups that made a purchase to the total number of groups that entered the store as the group purchasing rate.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may calculate a group purchasing rate for each group attribute.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may obtain, for a specific attribute, the total number of groups of the specific attribute that entered the store and the number of groups of the specific attribute that made a purchase.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may calculate the ratio of the number of groups of the specific attribute that made a purchase to the total number of groups of the specific attribute that entered the store as the group purchasing rate for that characteristic attribute.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may also calculate a group purchasing rate for one or more products selected from a plurality of products sold in the store.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 refers to the group information storage unit 122 and obtains the number of groups that have made a purchase and whose purchased products include the selected specific product.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may calculate the ratio of the number of groups whose purchased products include the specific product to the total number of groups that entered the store during a specified period as the group purchasing rate for the specific product.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 outputs the group purchasing rate to a person such as a store manager.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 displays the group purchasing rate on a display device, for example.
- the store manager can use the group purchasing rate when displaying products and planning sales promotion measures.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 corresponds to the purchasing rate calculation unit 13 shown in FIG. 1.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine or estimate a resale group, which indicates a group of customers who are interested in reselling, as an attribute of the group.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 acquires the voices of customers and determines whether customers belonging to the group are speaking a foreign language.
- a foreign language may mean a language other than the official language of the country in which the store is located, or a language that is different from one or more languages used by residents of the area in which the store is located.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 determines that customers belonging to a group are speaking a foreign language, it may determine or estimate that the group is a resale group.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 may measure the stay time of customers belonging to a group and determine whether or not the group is a reselling group based on the stay time. For example, the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine that a group whose stay time is shorter than the expected stay time of a standard customer is a reselling group.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine whether or not a group is a resale group based on the number of products purchased in each group. For example, the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine whether or not customers belonging to a group have purchased a predetermined number or more of a specific product. When the group attribute determination unit 115 determines that customers belonging to a certain group have purchased a predetermined number or more of a specific product, it may determine or estimate that the group is a resale group.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 may also determine whether or not a group is a resale group based on the type or category of purchased items. When the types or categories of purchased items in a certain group are biased toward a specific type or category, the group attribute determination unit 115 may determine or estimate that the group is a resale group.
- the analysis unit 118 analyzes purchasing trends for each group attribute based on the group information stored in the group information storage unit 122 and the POS data associated with the group that made a purchase. For example, the analysis unit 118 analyzes the purchase amount, popular items, popular item categories, and store visit time for each group attribute. The analysis unit 118 outputs the results of the analysis to a person such as the store operations manager. The store operations manager can use the results of the analysis by the analysis unit 118 to consider, for example, which people to target with promotional measures. In addition, the store operations manager can recognize the appropriate stocking order and purchase quantity for a certain item from the results of the analysis by the analysis unit 118.
- the operating procedure of the purchase rate calculation device 110 corresponds to the purchase rate calculation method.
- the operating procedure of determining group attributes in the purchase rate calculation device 110 will be described.
- Figure 5 shows the operating procedure of determining group attributes.
- the video acquisition unit 111 acquires images and audio from the camera 200 at the store entrance and other locations (step A1).
- the customer detection unit 113 detects customers from the images acquired in step A1 (step A2).
- the customer detection unit 113 detects multiple customers from images acquired by the camera 200 capturing an image of the store entrance area, for example.
- the grouping unit 114 calculates the distance between the multiple customers detected in step A2 (step A3). The grouping unit 114 determines whether the distance is within a predetermined value (step A4). If the grouping unit 114 determines in step A4 that the distance is within the predetermined value, it determines whether there is a conversation between the customers who are within the predetermined distance (step A5). If the grouping unit 114 determines in step A5 that there is a conversation, it groups the customers who are within the predetermined distance into the same group (step A6).
- step A4 If it is determined in step A4 that the distance exceeds a predetermined value, or if it is determined in step A5 that there is no conversation, the grouping unit 114 groups the multiple customers into separate groups.
- the group attribute determination unit 115 determines the group attributes for each group (step A7).
- FIG. 6 shows the operational procedure for determining whether or not a purchase has been made.
- the video acquisition unit 111 acquires, from the camera 200, an image of the area in the store where the POS device 210 is installed (step B1).
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 detects people, i.e., customers, from the image acquired in step B1 (step B2).
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 identifies the group to which the customer detected in step B2 belongs (step B3).
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 acquires, for example, a group ID associated with the customer ID of the customer detected in step B2 from the customer information stored in the customer information storage unit 121.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines whether the customer has purchased a product (step B4). In other words, the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines whether the customer has made a payment at the POS device 210. If the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines in step B4 that the customer has purchased a product, it determines the group identified in step B3 as a group that has made a purchase. In that case, the purchasing group identification unit 116 records information indicating a purchase for the group identified in step B3 (step B5). If the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines in step B4 that the customer has not purchased a product, it does not record information indicating a purchase for the group identified in step B3 in the group information storage unit 122.
- the purchase rate calculation unit 117 refers to the customer information storage unit 121 and the group information storage unit 122, and obtains the number of groups that entered the store during a specified period, i.e., the number of visiting groups (step C1). In addition, the purchase rate calculation unit 117 obtains the number of groups that made a purchase among the groups that entered the store during the specified period (step C2).
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 calculates the group purchasing rate based on the number of visiting groups obtained in step C1 and the number of groups that made a purchase obtained in step C2 (step C3). In step C3, the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 calculates the group purchasing rate, for example, by dividing the number of groups that made a purchase by the number of visiting groups.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may calculate the group purchasing rate in a specified time period, such as a time period outside the store's business hours. Alternatively, the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 may calculate the group purchasing rate each time a specified period of time has passed.
- the grouping unit 114 groups customers who enter the store.
- the purchasing group identification unit 116 determines that the group to which the customer who made the payment belongs is the group that made a purchase.
- the purchasing rate calculation unit 117 calculates the group purchasing rate based on the number of groups that entered the store and the number of groups that made a purchase. In this embodiment, when many customers enter the store as one group, if one of the customers belonging to that group makes a payment, the group is determined to be a group that made a purchase. If the purchasing rate is calculated on an individual basis, the more customers belong to one group, the lower the purchasing rate is calculated.
