20140094297 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A biological information recognizer sequentially supplies a notification of a new person detection to a DB registration update unit, and the DB registration update unit registers a behavior history of each player in a customer management DB while correlating the behavior history with a camera ID identifying a camera that has captured an image of the player. At this point, a first candidate determination unit registers an area, where a model with which the player wants to play exists, as a first candidate area. An operating rate calculator calculates the operating rate of each area using only customer management information on the player for whom the area where the operating rate is calculated is registered as the first candidate area. The present invention can be applied to a technology for properly calculating the operating rate in discussing the model of an amusement machine to be replaced. | 04-03-2014 |
20140129487 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD, ATTENTION LEVEL-CALCULATING DEVICE, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A DB registration-updating unit registers, in a patron management DB, the behavior history of each player in association with camera IDs that identify the cameras that have captured images of the player. On the basis of information in the patron management DB, a potential player-determining unit considers a player, whose length of stay in a specific corner is longer than a prescribed period and who is not playing, to be a potential player who wants to play but is unable to play. An attention level DB management unit registers, in an attention level DB, the points proportional to the lengths of stay of potential players in said corner as the attention level by cumulatively storing the points for each game console. An attention level display control unit displays the information on the players' attention level that is registered in the attention level DB. | 05-08-2014 |
