Gate One, Inc.
Gate One wants to visualize the advertising impact of its checkout-counter digital signage, “Famima TV,” installed at more than 10,000 stores nationwide, in order to properly assess advertising value.
The challenge Idein solves
We handle everything end to end — developing the AI technology, launching the edge AI camera system, and long-term ongoing operation across thousands of stores in all 47 prefectures — to perform the visual recognition analysis itself. To realize an AI camera system that must never stop and must never lose data, we build in stable operation from the OS level up, alongside remote operational monitoring, root-cause isolation when anomalies occur, and monitoring AI accuracy. We also protect privacy by extracting only viewer demographic attributes and viewing time on the edge, discarding the identifiable images on site rather than sending them to the cloud.
What we did
- Idein manages the cameras at thousands of the more than 10,000 stores nationwide equipped with the “Famima TV” digital signage, and performs the visual recognition analysis
- Realized by remotely operating, via Actcast, a visual-recognition-analysis app that runs on Raspberry Pi
- Deployed across thousands of stores in all 47 prefectures, we realize an AI camera system that must never stop and must never lose data, through stable-operation engineering from the OS level up, remote operational monitoring, root-cause isolation when anomalies occur, and AI accuracy monitoring
- We handle everything end to end: developing the AI technology, launching the edge AI camera system, and long-term ongoing operation
- Captured images are processed on the edge; only demographic attributes and viewing time are sent to the cloud, never the images themselves
