INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

A bio-information recognition device (21) sequentially supplies notification of the detection of a new player, and consequently for each player a database registration update unit (275) registers behaviour history onto a customer management database (276) in association with a camera ID for identifying the camera that has captured an image of the player. In this process, a first candidate determination unit (275e) registers, as a first candidate corner, a corner in which there is a machine considered to be of interest to the player. When an operating rate calculation unit (278) calculates an operating rate for each corner, the operating rate is calculated using only the customer management information of players for whom the corner in question is registered as the first candidate corner. The present invention can be applied to operating rate calculation techniques suitable for when the replacement of a machine is being considered.
