Abstract

An article-for-posting management system includes: a storage unit that stores an article for posting and a position at which the article for posting is to be posted in association with each other; an obtaining unit that obtains the position of the article for posting which is posted; and an output unit that, when there is a difference between information stored by the storage unit and information obtained by the obtaining unit, outputs presence of the difference.

Claims (39)

1. An article-for-posting management system comprising:

a storage unit that stores advertisement data, the advertisement data including a description of an advertisement and a position at which the advertisement is intended to be posted, and the description of the advertisement being stored in association with the position;

an imaging system comprising a plurality of cameras positioned in different directions, each camera being configured to capture a first image of the advertisement that has been posted and a second image of an area where the advertisement is allowed to be posted, the first image and the second image captured by each camera being relative to a direction towards which each respective camera is positioned;

an image analyzer that receives the first image captured by each of the plurality of cameras via a transmission from each camera, and performs image analysis on the first image;

an obtaining unit that obtains, from the image analyzer, a position at which the advertisement is currently posted; and

an output unit that:

outputs the second image in association with the description of the advertisement, when there is a difference between the position stored by the storage unit and the position obtained by the obtaining unit, from the image analyzer; and

outputs a proposal to prompt posting of the advertisement that is intended to be posted, when the advertisement that is intended to be posted is not the advertisement that is currently posted.

2. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the proposal by which the advertisement is associated with the position at which the advertisement is intended to be posted.

3. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the proposal by which the advertisement is associated with the second image of the area where the advertisement for posting is allowed to be posted.

4. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the advertisement that is intended to be posted is not the advertisement that is currently posted, the output unit outputs a proposal to prompt removal of the advertisement.

5. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the proposal by which the advertisement is associated with the position at which the advertisement is intended to be posted.

6. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the proposal by which the advertisement is associated with the second image of the area where the advertisement for posting is allowed to be posted.

7. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the advertisement that is intended to be posted is the advertisement that is currently posted, but a posted state of the advertisement is a state in which the advertisement is posted improperly or is damaged, the output unit outputs a proposal to re-post the advertisement.

8. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the proposal by which the advertisement is associated with the position at which the advertisement is intended to be to be posted.

9. The article-for-posting management system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the output unit outputs the proposal by which the advertisement is associated with second image of the area where the advertisement is allowed to be posted.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for implementing functions of the process comprising:

storing, by a storage unit, advertisement data, the advertisement data including a description of an advertisement and a position at which the advertisement is intended to be posted, and the description of the advertisement being stored in association with the position;

capturing, by each camera of a plurality of cameras in an imaging system, a first image of the advertisement that has been posted and a second image of an area where the advertisement is allowed to be posted, the first image and the second image captured by each camera being relative to a direction towards which each respective camera is positioned;

receiving, by an image analyzer, the first image captured by each of the plurality of cameras via a transmission from each camera, and performing image analysis on the first image;

obtaining, from the image analyzer, a position at which the advertisement is currently posted;

when there is a difference between the position stored by the storage unit and the position obtained from the image analyzer, outputting the second image in association with the description of the advertisement; and

when the advertisement that is intended to be posted is not the advertisement that is currently posted, outputting a proposal to prompt posting of the advertisement data that is intended to be posted.

11. An article-for-posting management system comprising:

storage means for storing advertisement data, the advertisement data including a description of an advertisement and a position at which the advertisement is intended to be posted, and the description of the advertisement being stored in association with the position;

an imaging system comprising a plurality of cameras positioned in different directions, each camera being configured to capture a first image of the advertisement that has been posted and a second image of an area where the advertisement is allowed to be posted, the first image and the second image captured by each camera being relative to a direction towards which each respective camera is positioned;

an image analyzer that receives the first image captured by each of the plurality of cameras via a transmission from each camera, and performs image analysis on the first image;

obtaining means for obtaining, from the image analyzer, a position at which the advertisement is currently posted; and

output means for:

outputting the second image in association with the description of and the advertisement, when there is a difference between the position stored by the storage means and the position obtained by the obtaining means, from the image analyzer; and

outputting a proposal to prompt posting of the advertisement that is intended to be posted, when the advertisement that is intended to be posted is not the advertisement that is currently posted.
