Abstract

In the present invention, when a customer enters a store, information pertaining to the customer's preferences is presented to an employee. The customer ID, facial image data feature values, and attribute information are associated and registered in a customer database (41). The customer ID and order history are associated and registered in a sales database (51). A facial feature value extraction unit (32) extracts the feature values in facial image data including the face appearing in an image captured by a camera device (10). A facial feature value comparison unit (33) compares the extracted facial image data feature values to the facial image data feature values registered in the customer database (41). If these feature values are similar, a communication unit (31) transmits, to an order terminal (60), customer information including the facial image data, attribute information, and order history corresponding to the customer ID having the similar feature values. The order terminal (60) displays the customer information on a display (62).

Description

顔認識システム、顔認識サーバ及び顧客情報提示方法Face recognition system, face recognition server, and customer information presentation method
 本開示は、カメラ装置により撮像された映像を用いて、人物の顔を認証する顔認識システム、顔認識サーバ及び顧客情報提示方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a face recognition system, a face recognition server, and a customer information presentation method for authenticating a person's face using an image captured by a camera device.
 従来、店舗内に設定された撮像領域に出現した人物の客層を判定する際、人物の行動形態から分析対象となる顧客であるか否かを判定し、該当しない人物を分析対象から排除することで、店舗に来店した顧客の客層を精度良く分析する客層分析システムが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, when determining the customer segment of a person who appears in an imaging area set in a store, it is determined whether or not the customer is an analysis target from the person's behavior form, and the person who does not correspond is excluded from the analysis target Thus, a customer segment analysis system that accurately analyzes the customer segment of customers who have visited the store is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
 この客層分析システムでは、例えば店舗の出入口の近傍の案内待ちエリアから客席に向かう顧客を正面から撮像するように撮像領域が設定される。また、客層分析システムは、客席に向かって移動する行動と異なる行動をとる人物を検出し、そのような行動をとる人物は店員等、つまり顧客以外であるとして分析対象から排除していた。 In this customer segment analysis system, for example, an imaging region is set so that a customer heading for a customer seat from a waiting area for guidance in the vicinity of a store entrance is imaged from the front. Further, the customer segment analysis system detects a person who takes a behavior different from the behavior of moving toward the audience seat, and excludes the person who takes such a behavior from the analysis target as being a clerk or the like, that is, other than the customer.

The face feature amount extraction process is a process for extracting feature amounts such as the position of the eyes, the positional relationship between the eyes, the nose, and the mouth, and how to wrinkle, using a known technique.
 顔特徴量比較部33は、顔特徴量抽出部32によって抽出された顔特徴量と、顧客データベース41に登録されている顔特徴量とを比較し、これらの類似度が所定値以上に高いか否かを判別する。また、これらの類似度が所定値以上に高くない場合(つまり、類似度が所定値未満である場合)には、顔特徴量比較部33は、類似度が低いと判定する。類似度が所定値以上に高い場合には、顔特徴量比較部33は、来店した顧客が常連客(言い換えると、お得意様)であると判断する。一方、類似度が所定値未満で低い場合、顔特徴量比較部33は、来店した顧客が新規の顧客であると判断する。なお、類似度が高いと判定する際の所定値(第1閾値)に対し、類似度が低いと判定する際の所定値(第2閾値)は、同じ値でもよいし、第1閾値より低い値であってもよい。 The face feature amount comparison unit 33 compares the face feature amount extracted by the face feature amount extraction unit 32 with the face feature amount registered in the customer database 41, and whether the similarity is higher than a predetermined value. Determine whether or not. When these similarities are not higher than a predetermined value (that is, when the similarity is less than a predetermined value), the face feature amount comparison unit 33 determines that the similarity is low. When the degree of similarity is higher than a predetermined value, the face feature amount comparison unit 33 determines that the customer who has visited the store is a regular customer (in other words, a customer). On the other hand, when the similarity is less than the predetermined value and low, the face feature amount comparison unit 33 determines that the customer who has visited the store is a new customer. Note that the predetermined value (second threshold value) when determining that the similarity is low may be the same value or lower than the first threshold value with respect to the predetermined value (first threshold value) when determining that the similarity is high. It may be a value.
 また、顔特徴量比較部33に含まれる年齢性別判定部35は、新規の顧客(以下、単に「新規客」という)である場合、顔特徴量抽出部32によって抽出された顔特徴量を基に、公知の技術を用いて新規客の年齢及び性別を推定する。推定される年齢は、ある程度の年齢幅で表現されてもよいし、平均値又は代表値として表現されてもよい。 Further, the age and gender determination unit 35 included in the face feature amount comparison unit 33 is based on the face feature amount extracted by the face feature amount extraction unit 32 when it is a new customer (hereinafter simply referred to as “new customer”). In addition, the age and sex of new customers are estimated using known techniques. The estimated age may be expressed in a certain age range, or may be expressed as an average value or a representative value.
 顔特徴量抽出部32及び顔特徴量比較部33は、プロセッサ40が実行する機能である。プロセッサ40は、例えば内部メモリに記憶されたアプリケーションプログラムを実行することで、顔特徴量抽出部32及び顔特徴量比較部33の機能を実現する。 The face feature amount extraction unit 32 and the face feature amount comparison unit 33 are functions executed by the processor 40. The processor 40 implements the functions of the facial feature quantity extraction unit 32 and the facial feature quantity comparison unit 33 by executing an application program stored in an internal memory, for example.
 顧客データベース41は、顧客が新規客である場合に、カメラ装置10により撮像された映像データに現れる人物の顔を有する顔画像データに関連する情報を登録する。具体的には、顧客データベース41は、新規客に対して顧客の識別情報(以下、「顧客ID」ともいう)を発行し、この顧客IDを、顔画像データ以外に、顔特徴量抽出部32により抽出された顔画像データの顔特徴量と、新規客の属性情報(例えば顧客の年齢、性別等)とを対応付けて、これらの情報(即ち、顧客ID、顧客の顔画像データの顔特徴量、顧客の属性情報)を顧客情報として登録する。また、店舗が例えばチェーン展開された店舗である場合には、顧客データベース41は、全店舗のうちいずれかの店舗に一度でも顧客が来店していれば、その顧客情報を流用して登録しておく。全店舗において顧客情報のデータを相当量蓄積しておくことで、ビッグデータとして活用することも期待可能である。 The customer database 41 registers information related to face image data having a person's face that appears in video data captured by the camera device 10 when the customer is a new customer. Specifically, the customer database 41 issues customer identification information (hereinafter also referred to as “customer ID”) to a new customer, and the facial feature amount extraction unit 32 in addition to the face image data.

 上記構成を有する顔認識システム5の動作を示す。 The operation of the face recognition system 5 having the above configuration will be described.
 図2は、本実施形態の顔認識サーバ30における顔検出処理の動作手順の一例を説明するフローチャートである。図2において、顔認識サーバ30内の通信部31は、カメラ装置10から送信された切出し顔画像データを受信する(S1)。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation procedure of the face detection process in the face recognition server 30 of the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, the communication unit 31 in the face recognition server 30 receives the cut face image data transmitted from the camera device 10 (S1).
 顔特徴量抽出部32は、受信した切出し顔画像データから顔特徴量を抽出する(S2)。顔特徴量として、例えば眼の位置、目と鼻と口の位置関係、しわの寄り方等の特徴量が抽出される。顔特徴量比較部33は、顔特徴量抽出部32によって抽出された顔特徴量と、顧客データベース41に登録されている顔特徴量とを比較し(S3)、これらの類似度が所定値以上に高いか否かを判別する(S4)。 The face feature quantity extraction unit 32 extracts a face feature quantity from the received cut face image data (S2). As face feature amounts, for example, feature amounts such as the position of the eyes, the positional relationship between eyes, nose, and mouth, and how to wrinkle are extracted. The face feature amount comparison unit 33 compares the face feature amount extracted by the face feature amount extraction unit 32 with the face feature amount registered in the customer database 41 (S3), and the degree of similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. It is determined whether or not it is high (S4).
 類似度が所定値以上に高いと判断された場合(S4、YES)、通信部31は、類似していると判断された顧客の、顧客データベース41に登録されている顧客情報(顧客データ)及び販売データベース51に登録されている販売データを、注文端末60に送信する(S5)。注文端末60は、顔認識サーバ30から顧客データ及び販売データを受信すると、これらのデータをディスプレイ62に表示させる(S6)。 When it is determined that the similarity is higher than a predetermined value (S4, YES), the communication unit 31 includes customer information (customer data) registered in the customer database 41 of the customer determined to be similar and The sales data registered in the sales database 51 is transmitted to the order terminal 60 (S5). Upon receiving the customer data and sales data from the face recognition server 30, the order terminal 60 displays these data on the display 62 (S6).
 注文端末60を把持する店員は、ディスプレイ62の画面(図3参照)に表示された顧客データ及び販売データを見て、顧客の嗜好を知り、この顧客に対してお好みメニューを勧める等のサービスを行う。顧客から注文を受けると、店員は、注文端末60に注文(オーダー)の入力操作を行う。注文端末60は、注文の入力操作を受け付けると、顧客IDと紐付けて注文の販売データを販売データベース51に登録する(S7)。このとき、注文端末60は、POSサーバ50と通信を行い、POSサーバ50を介して販売データベース51に登録してもよいし、顔認識サーバ30と通信を行い、顔認識サーバ30に販売データベース51への登録を依頼してもよい。この後、顔認識システム5は本動作を終了する。 The clerk holding the order terminal 60 sees the customer data and sales data displayed on the screen of the display 62 (see FIG. 3), knows the customer's preference, and recommends a favorite menu to the customer. I do. Upon receiving an order from the customer, the store clerk performs an order input operation on the order terminal 60. Upon receiving the order input operation, the order terminal 60 registers the sales data of the order in the sales database 51 in association with the customer ID (S7). At this time, the order terminal 60 may communicate with the POS server 50 and be registered in the sales database 51 via the POS server 50, or may communicate with the face recognition server 30 and communicate with the face recognition server 30 in the sales database 51. You may ask for registration. Thereafter, the face recognition system 5 ends this operation.
 一方、類似度が所定値未満で低いと判断された場合(S4、NO)、顔認識サーバ30は、顧客データベース41から新規の顧客IDを取得する(S8)。ここでは、顔認識サーバ30は、顧客データベース41が発行した新規の顧客IDを取得したが、自装置(つまり、顔認識サーバ30)が新規に顧客IDを発行し、顧客データベース41に割り当ててもよい。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the similarity is less than the predetermined value and low (S4, NO), the face recognition server 30 acquires a new customer ID from the customer database 41 (S8). Here, the face recognition server 30 has acquired a new customer ID issued by the customer database 41, but even if the own device (that is, the face recognition server 30) issues a new customer ID and assigns it to the customer database 41. Good.
