This supervisor is responsible for grasping the situation of opportunity loss at each store and proposing improvements to each store manager to reduce the opportunity loss. As the operating system grows in scale, the number of stores managed by supervisors will increase, and the situation of opportunity loss at each store will vary. It is desirable to have a technology that enables the supervisor to efficiently perform the process.

  As related to the business where the manager of the store grasps the situation of the opportunity loss at such a store, conventionally, the sales floor where products are displayed for each type is photographed with a camera, and the video is used to store the sales floor. Technology that acquires the number of customers staying at the sales floor for each sales floor, obtains the number of sales for each product using the sales data of the POS system, and displays the number of visitors and sales at the sales floor with video Is known (see Patent Document 1). In addition, there is a technology that aggregates the sales of products for each time zone based on the sales data of the POS system and displays the sales status for each time zone together with a list of sales floor images for each time zone. It is known (see Patent Document 2).

  In addition to taking photos of sales floors with cameras and managing sales floors at store backyards and offices, it is possible to check the display status and sales status of products at each store even from a remote location such as the headquarters. The technique made is known (see Non-Patent Document 1). With this technology, the sales status of each chain store within the group can be compared simultaneously in chronological order, and the sales floor status (sales points and sales amount) of the target store can be examined while viewing the video (still image). ing.

  As described above, in this embodiment, a threshold is set for the staying time in the measurement area corresponding to each sales floor, and when the staying time exceeds the threshold, a customer staying at the sales floor is detected. Accordingly, customers who have passed through the sales floor can be excluded, and only customers who are interested in the products displayed on the sales floor can be detected.

  The customer detection unit 41 detects a customer who enters the store from the entrance. In this case, a measurement line is set on the image of the measurement area A1 (see FIG. 3) photographed by the camera 1, and the measurement line What is necessary is just to detect the person who passed.

  Next, the evaluation process for the entire store performed by the time zone evaluation unit 51 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the evaluation process for the entire store performed by the time zone evaluation unit 51.

  In the present embodiment, the time zone evaluation unit 51 acquires an evaluation value for each time zone for the entire store, and uses this evaluation value to determine whether or not it is a time zone that requires attention as the entire store. Processing is performed. In this process, a store gap determination is made as to whether or not the store gap is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value. In the present embodiment, the store gap determination is performed a plurality of times (four times) based on the measurement value for each measurement period (15 minutes) acquired by the measurement unit 33 for one time zone, and the store gap for each measurement period. Based on the result of the determination, an evaluation value for that time zone is acquired.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the store gap is defined as the difference between the number of customers visiting the store and the number of store accounting customers, and the measured values acquired by the store visitor number acquiring unit 45 and the store accounting customer number acquiring unit 47, that is, the number of store visitors and the store accounting, respectively. Store gap determination is performed based on the number of customers.

  Specifically, first, the store visitor number acquisition unit 45 and the store account customer number acquisition unit 47 acquire the store visitor number and store account customer number for the first measurement period in one time zone (ST101, ST102). Next, in the time zone evaluation unit 51, a store gap is calculated from the number of store customers and the number of store accounting customers during the measurement period (ST103). Then, a store gap determination is made as to whether or not the store gap is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (ST104). If the store gap is equal to or greater than the threshold value (Yes in ST104), the counter value is incremented by 1 (ST105).

  Next, it is determined whether or not all the processes in one time period have been completed (ST106). If all the processes in one time period have not been completed (No in ST106), the process proceeds to the process in the next measurement period. On the other hand, if all the processes for one time period have been completed (Yes in ST106), the process proceeds to a process for determining whether or not it is a time period requiring attention (ST107).

  In this determination process (ST107), the counter value is used as an evaluation value for the time period, and a process for determining whether or not the time period requires attention is performed using the evaluation value for the time period. Specifically, the evaluation value of the time zone is compared with a predetermined threshold value (for example, 2) to determine whether or not it is a time zone requiring attention. In the present embodiment, since the store gap determination is performed four times in one time zone (one hour), the evaluation value (counter value) is any value from 0 to 4.

  The above processing is performed for each time zone, and a time zone requiring attention is determined.

  Next, an evaluation process for each sales floor performed by the time zone evaluation unit 51 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the evaluation process for each sales floor performed by the time zone evaluation unit 51.

  In the present embodiment, the time zone evaluation unit 51 acquires an evaluation value for each time zone for each sales floor, and uses this evaluation value to determine whether or not it is a time zone that requires attention as a sales floor. Is done. In this process, the sales floor gap is determined whether or not the sales floor gap is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In this embodiment, regarding one time zone, based on the measurement value for each measurement period (15 minutes) acquired by the measurement unit 33, the sales floor gap determination is performed a plurality of times (four times), and the sales floor gap for each measurement period. Based on the result of the determination, an evaluation value for that time zone is acquired.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the sales floor gap is the difference between the number of customers staying at the sales floor and the number of sales floor accounting customers, and the measured values acquired by the sales floor visitor number acquisition unit 46 and the sales floor accounting customer number acquisition unit 48, that is, the number of sales floor visitors. The store gap is determined based on the number of customers on the sales floor. In this case, the sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers staying at the sales floor and the number of customers accounting at the sales floor) indicates the sales floor purchase rate, that is, how many customers who stayed at the sales floor purchased the products of the sales floor. Become.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, the sales floor gap is the difference between the number of customers visiting the store and the number of customers staying at the store, and the measured values acquired by the store visitor number acquiring unit 45 and the store visitor number acquiring unit 46, that is, the number of customers visiting the store and the store staying, respectively. Store gap determination is performed based on the number of customers. In this case, the sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers visiting the store and the number of customers staying at the sales floor) indicates the sales floor drop-in rate, that is, how many customers who have visited the store have stayed at the sales floor.

  The specific procedures of the evaluation value acquisition process (ST201 to ST206) shown in FIG. 7 and the evaluation value acquisition process (ST301 to ST306) shown in FIG. 8 are substantially the same as the example shown in FIG. Is omitted.

  The determination processing (ST207, ST307) is also substantially the same as the example shown in FIG. 6, and when an evaluation value (counter value) for a time period is acquired, the evaluation value for that time period is set to a predetermined threshold (for example, Compared with 2), it is determined whether it is a time zone requiring attention.

  In the present embodiment, for one time zone, based on the measurement value for each measurement period (15 minutes), the store gap determination and the sales floor gap determination are performed a plurality of times (four times) to evaluate one time zone. Although the value is acquired, the measurement value for each measurement period may be totaled in the time zone, and the store gap determination and the sales floor gap determination may be performed using the total value. In this case, the store gap determination and the sales floor gap determination are performed once, and it is determined whether or not the one determination is a time zone requiring attention.

  Next, the processing condition setting process performed by the processing condition setting unit 39 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing condition setting screen displayed on the monitor 15.

It is recommended that the playback of be started. In addition, although the moving image may be reproduced on the sales floor image display unit 121, a moving image reproduction screen may be displayed in a pop-up.

  Moreover, although the trend analysis screens shown in FIGS. 16 to 18 are for the entire store, it is also possible to display a trend analysis screen for each sales floor with the same contents.

  In the present embodiment, the statistical information generating unit 34 uses the measurement values (the number of customers visiting the store, the number of customers staying at the store, the number of customers at the store, and the number of customers at the store) for each measurement period (15 minutes) acquired by the measuring unit 33. The values for each time zone obtained by aggregation in the graph are graphed and displayed on the store monitoring screen, sales floor monitoring screen, and trend analysis screen, but the unit period of the aggregation is 1 day, 1 week, and 1 May be a month. In this case, the selection point for selecting the time zone of the video is set for each unit period of tabulation. For example, when displaying a graph showing the tabulated value of each day in one week, the date characters and the corresponding characters are displayed. The mark becomes the selection point.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first quantity acquisition unit 43 acquires the first quantity (for example, the number of customers visiting the store) related to the customer who is expected to purchase the product at the store, that is, the customer who has visited the store. Then, the second quantity acquisition unit 44 acquires a second quantity (for example, the number of customers in the store accounting) related to the customer who actually purchased the product at the store, and the video acquisition unit 38 captures the video taken inside the store. The statistical information generation unit 34 generates statistical information indicating the temporal transition status of the first quantity and the second quantity, and the display output control unit 36 integrates the statistical information and the video in the store. Display information, that is, display information for displaying the statistical information and the video in the store on one screen is output to the display device. In particular, the display output control unit 36 displays the statistical information along the time axis. As well as to display the selected point on the time axis in response to user operation of selecting the selected point, and so as to display an image in the store in the selected selection point. Thereby, since statistical information is displayed, the user can grasp the situation of the opportunity loss in the store. Further, since the video in the store is displayed, the user can specifically confirm the situation of opportunity loss. Then, it is possible to quickly display a video of a selection point that is considered to be problematic due to statistical information, and to confirm the situation of opportunity loss while comparing the statistical information with the video. For this reason, the user can appropriately and quickly grasp the situation of the opportunity loss at the store, and can efficiently perform the work of examining the improvement measures for reducing the opportunity loss.

  In the present embodiment, the processing condition setting unit (individual area setting unit) 39 sets a plurality of sales floors (individual areas) in the store, and the first quantity acquisition unit 43 targets the entire store. 1 quantity (for example, the number of customers), the second quantity acquisition unit 44 acquires a second quantity (for example, the number of store accounting customers) for the entire store, and the video acquisition unit 38 has a plurality of sales floors. The statistical information generating unit 34 generates statistical information for the entire store, and the display output control unit 36 generates statistical information for the entire store and a plurality of sales floors (individually). Since the video for each area is integrated and displayed, statistical information for the entire store enables users to understand the situation of opportunity loss in the entire store. By displaying the image of each sales floor in the selected point is considered that there is a problem, the situation of opportunity loss user can confirm specifically and in detail.

  In the present embodiment, the processing condition setting unit (individual area setting unit) 39 sets a plurality of sales floors (individual areas) in the store, and the first quantity acquisition unit 43 sets a plurality of sales floors (individual areas). The second quantity acquisition unit 44 acquires the second quantity for each of the plurality of sales floors, and the video acquisition unit 38 sets the plurality of sales floors. Each captured video is acquired, the statistical information generation unit 34 generates statistical information for each of the plurality of sales floors, and the display output control unit 36 generates statistical information for one of the plurality of sales floors. The sales floor video corresponding to this is integrated and displayed, and the video at a plurality of times corresponding to the selected selection point is displayed in accordance with the operation of the user selecting the selection point. Thereby, since the video of the several time corresponding to a selection point is displayed with the statistical information of a sales floor, the user can perform the operation | work which confirms specifically the condition of the opportunity loss in a sales floor efficiently.

  In the present embodiment, the time zone evaluation unit 51 evaluates the necessity of attention for each time zone based on the first quantity and the second quantity, determines the time zone requiring attention, and displays the time zone. In the output control unit 36, the selection points corresponding to the time zone requiring attention are displayed in a display form different from the selection points not corresponding to the time zone requiring attention. Thus, the user can efficiently perform an operation of quickly displaying a video in a time zone requiring attention and specifically confirming the situation of the opportunity loss by the video.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, in the time zone evaluation part 51, based on the difference between the number of customers who visited the store (number of customers) and the number of customers who actually purchased the product (number of store accounting customers) at the store, Since the necessity of attention for the entire store is evaluated for each time zone, the necessity for attention for each time zone for the entire store can be evaluated.

  In the present embodiment, the time zone evaluation unit 51 calculates the number of customers who stayed at the sales floor (individual area) (the number of customers staying at the sales floor) and the number of customers who actually purchased products at the sales floor (the number of customers at the sales floor). Based on the difference or the difference between the number of customers who visited the store (number of customers) and the number of customers who stayed at the sales floor (number of customers on the sales floor) Since the evaluation is made, it is possible to appropriately evaluate the necessity of attention for each time zone for each sales floor.

  In the present embodiment, the statistical information generation unit 34 generates statistical information in which the aggregate values for the time zones (for example, 1 hour) of the first quantity and the second quantity are arranged in time series, and the time zone Since statistical information in which the aggregated values for longer predetermined unit periods (for example, one day) are arranged in time series is generated, the display output control unit 36 displays the statistical information regarding the aggregated values for each unit period.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The points not particularly mentioned here are the same as in the first embodiment.

  A facility management support process performed by the PC 11 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 20 is a functional block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the PC 11 according to the second embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, the evaluation unit 35 includes a store evaluation unit (facility evaluation unit) 52 and a sales floor evaluation unit (individual area evaluation unit) 53 in addition to the time zone evaluation unit 51.

  The store evaluation unit 52 evaluates the necessity of attention for each store based on the measurement values (the number of customers visiting the store, the number of customers staying at the sales floor, the number of store accounting customers, and the number of sales floor accounting customers) acquired by the measurement unit 33, and requires attention. A process of assigning priority to each store is performed in descending order. In this process, an evaluation value for the entire store is acquired for each store, and the priority of each store is determined based on the evaluation value.

  In the present embodiment, a store gap (difference between the number of customers visiting the store and the number of store accounting customers) is calculated as an evaluation value for the entire store, and priorities are given in descending order of the store gap. This store gap represents the product purchase status of customers in the entire store, that is, how many customers who purchased the product among the customers who visited the store, and reflects the degree of opportunity loss at the store. By this store gap, it is possible to evaluate the high necessity of attention for each store. In other words, if the store gap is large, the product purchase rate at the store as a whole is low, and even if customers visit the store, it is in a state that they do not purchase products very much, so it is judged that the need for caution is high. Can do.

  There are various methods for calculating the store gap as follows.

  First, from the measured values (number of customers and store accounting customers) acquired by the measuring unit 33, the total value of the number of customers and store accounting customers for one day (0:00:00 to 23:59:59) is calculated. A store gap is calculated from the total value of the number of customers visiting the store and the number of store accounting customers. In addition, by dividing the total daily number of customers and store accounting customers by business hours ("24" for all-day business), the average time of store visits and store accounting customers is calculated. The store gap is calculated from the time average value of the number of customers and the number of store accounting customers.

  In addition, among the measurement values acquired by the measurement unit 33, the number of store visitors and the number of store accounting customers in that time zone are calculated from the measurement values in a predetermined time zone, for example, the peak time zone, that is, a busy time zone with a large number of store customers. Then, the store gap is calculated from the number of customers visiting the store and the number of store accounting customers. In the store, there are peaks in two time zones of morning (8:00 to 8:59) and noon (12:00 to 12:59), and the measured values of these two time zones may be used. Further, only the measurement value in the morning peak time zone, only the measurement value in the noon peak time zone, or the measurement value in the morning and noon peak time zones may be used.

  Further, from the viewpoint of raising the sales of the entire store, the store gap may be calculated from the measured value in the time zone excluding the peak time zone, that is, the quiet time zone where the number of customers visiting the store is small.

  In addition, the store evaluation unit 52 acquires an evaluation value for a predetermined important sales floor for each store, and determines the priority of each store based on the evaluation value. Since the important sales floor has a great influence on the sales of the stores, it is possible to determine the degree of necessity of attention of each store by the evaluation value for the important sales floor. Here, the important sales floor is a sales floor that contributes most to the sales of stores, and in the case of a convenience store, it is usually a sales floor for cooked rice such as lunch boxes.

  In the present embodiment, a sales space gap (difference between the number of customers visiting the sales floor and the number of customers staying at the sales floor of the important sales floor) is calculated as an evaluation value related to the important sales floor, and priorities are given in descending order of the sales floor gap. This sales floor gap represents the status of customer visits at important sales floors, that is, how many customers visited the important sales floor and reflected the degree of opportunity loss at the important sales floor. With this sales floor gap, it is possible to evaluate the high necessity of attention for each store. In other words, if the sales floor gap is large, the drop-in rate of the important sales floor is low, and the customer does not stop by the important sales floor, so it can be determined that the need for attention is high.

  Further, as an evaluation value related to the important sales floor, a sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers staying at the sales floor of the important sales floor and the number of sales floor accounting customers) is calculated, and priorities are given in descending order of the sales floor gap. This sales floor gap represents the customer's product purchase status at the important sales floor, that is, how many of the customers who visited the important sales floor purchased the products at the important sales floor, and reflected the degree of opportunity loss at the important sales floor. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the high level of attention required for each store by this sales floor gap. That is, if the sales floor gap is large, the product purchase rate of the important sales floor is low, and the customer does not purchase much products at the important sales floor. Therefore, it can be determined that the need for attention is high.

  The sales floor evaluation unit 53 evaluates the necessity of attention for each sales floor based on the measurement values acquired by the measurement unit 33 (the number of customers visiting the store, the number of customers staying at the sales floor, the number of customers at the sales floor, and the number of customers at the sales floor). Processing for determining sales floors and giving priority to sales floors in descending order of attention is performed. In this process, an evaluation value for each sales floor is acquired, a sales floor that requires attention is determined based on the evaluation value, and a priority order of each sales floor is determined.

  In the present embodiment, a sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers visiting the sales floor and the number of customers staying at the sales floor) is calculated as an evaluation value related to the sales floor, and priorities are given in descending order of the sales floor gap. This sales floor gap reflects the situation of customer visits at each sales floor, that is, how many customers visited the sales floor, and reflects the degree of opportunity loss at each sales floor. With this sales floor gap, it is possible to evaluate the high level of attention required for each sales floor. That is, when the sales floor gap is large, the drop-in rate of the sales floor is low, and the customer does not stop by the sales floor so much, so it can be determined that the need for attention is high.

  Further, as an evaluation value related to the sales floor, a sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers staying at the sales floor and the number of sales floor accounting customers) is calculated, and priorities are given in descending order of the sales floor gap. This sales floor gap represents the customer's product purchase status at each sales floor, that is, how many of the customers who visited the sales floor purchased products on the sales floor, and reflected the degree of opportunity loss at each sales floor. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the high necessity of attention for each sales floor by this sales floor gap. That is, if the sales floor gap is large, the product purchase rate of the sales floor is low, and the customer does not purchase much products on the sales floor, so it can be determined that the need for attention is high.

  In calculating the sales floor gap, as in the case of the evaluation value (store gap) for the entire store, the measured value (number of customers visiting the store, number of customers staying at the sales floor, and the number of customers on the sales floor) is calculated as 1 Calculate the total value and average value of the day, calculate the sales space gap from the total value and average value, and calculate the sales space gap from the measured value of the peak time zone and the measured value of the time zone excluding the peak time zone. It is good to do.

The tabs 81 for each store are displayed in order from the left according to the priority of each store, that is, in the order of the high necessity of attention. Therefore, the tab 81 of the store that requires the most attention is displayed at the left end.

  Here, the store monitoring screen shown in FIG. 21 is a case where the priority of each store is determined using the store gap (difference between the number of customers visiting the store and the number of store accounting customers) as an evaluation value. A graph of the number of customers visiting the store and the number of store accounting customers is displayed.

  Moreover, the store monitoring screen shown in FIG. 22 is a case where the priority of each store is determined using the sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers visiting the sales floor and the number of customers staying at the important sales floor) as an evaluation value. Shows a graph of the number of customers visiting the store and the number of visitors to the sales floor of the important sales floor.

  Further, the store monitoring screen shown in FIG. 23 is a case where the priority of each store is determined using the sales floor gap (difference between the number of customers on the sales floor of the important sales floor and the number of customers on the sales floor) as an evaluation value. A graph of the number of customers staying at the sales floor of the important sales floor and the number of customers at the sales floor is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the sales floor evaluation unit 53 evaluates the necessity of attention for each sales floor and determines a sales floor that requires attention. The display output control section 36 emphasizes the sales floor that requires attention. Processing to display is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, a red thick frame is displayed on the sales floor video display unit 83 of the sales floor that requires attention.

  In the present embodiment, the outer frame of the sales floor image display unit 83 of the sales floor that requires attention is highlighted. However, various display forms are possible for highlighting the sales floor that requires attention, for example, sales floor video. You may make it display the mark and character which show that it is a careful sales floor in the vicinity of the display part 83. FIG.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sales floor evaluation unit 53 evaluates the necessity of attention for each sales floor, and performs a process of giving priority to the sales floor in the order of higher necessity of attention, and the display output control unit 36 Then, a process of displaying the sales floor videos side by side in descending order of priority is performed. Thereby, the store monitoring screen shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 24, sales floor video images are displayed on the sales floor video display unit 83 in descending order of priority from the left side.

  Next, a modification of the video display unit 76 on the store monitoring screen shown in FIG. 10 and the like will be described. FIG. 25 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a modification of the video display unit 76 of the store monitoring screen.

  In the video display unit 76 of the monitoring screen shown in FIG. 10 or the like, the video captured by the camera 1 that is an omnidirectional camera is displayed by dividing into four, and four sales floor videos are provided for each camera. Although the display unit 83 is provided, as shown in FIG. 25 (A), a two-divided display mode, that is, two images obtained by dividing the image captured by the camera 1 into two parts and displaying the panorama are displayed. Two sales floor image display units 83 may be provided.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25A, all the images from the three cameras are displayed in the two-split display mode. However, as shown in FIGS.
