Abstract

An information processing device ( 10 ) includes a commodity detection unit ( 110 ) that detects a commodity information symbol, a service detection unit ( 120 ) that detects a service information symbol, and an association unit ( 130 ) that associates with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the commodity information symbol is detected and before a first predetermined time period elapses, the service information symbol is detected, or associates with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the service information symbol is detected and before a second predetermined time period longer than the first predetermined time period elapses, the commodity information symbol is detected.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing device comprising:
a commodity detection unit that detects a commodity information symbol; a service detection unit that detects a service information symbol; and an association unit that: associates with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the commodity information symbol is detected and before a first predetermined time period elapses, the service information symbol is detected; or associates with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the service information symbol is detected and before a second predetermined time period longer than the first predetermined time period elapses, the commodity information symbol is detected.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the association unit uses the first predetermined time period and the second predetermined time period which are stored, or uses the first predetermined time period and the second predetermined time period which are obtained by addition or subtraction with respect to a stored reference time period.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an association correction unit that receives an operation of correcting an association which is already made by the association unit to thereby correct the association in accordance with the operation; and a first adjusting unit that adjusts the first predetermined time period in accordance with the correction of the association by the association correction unit.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the commodity detection unit further detects an object from an image, and wherein the information processing device further includes a second adjusting unit that extends the second predetermined time period in a case where the same object is detected by the commodity detection unit at and after the detection of the service information symbol.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an output unit that performs a predetermined output in a case where after the service information symbol is detected and before the second predetermined time period elapses, the commodity information symbol is not detected and a next service information symbol is detected.

6 . An information processing method which is performed by at least one computer, the method comprising:
detecting a commodity information symbol; detecting a service information symbol; and associating with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the commodity information symbol is detected and before a first predetermined time period elapses, the service information symbol is detected, or associating with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the service information symbol is detected and before a second predetermined time period longer than the first predetermined time period elapses, the commodity information symbol is detected.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing at least one computer to perform an information processing method, the information processing method comprising:
detecting a commodity information symbol; detecting a service information symbol; and associating with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the commodity information symbol is detected and before a first predetermined time period elapses, the service information symbol is detected, or associating with each other commodity information and service information, which are obtained using the detected commodity information symbol and service information symbol in a case where after the service information symbol is detected and before a second predetermined time period longer than the first predetermined time period elapses, the commodity information symbol is detected.
