Abstract: A collection unit of this demand prediction system collects a plurality of event information that have current or future events and location information indicating locations of the events. An extraction unit extracts event information indicating the event in a predetermined range, which includes the location of a shop from the plurality of event information collected by the collection unit based on the location information. A prediction unit predicts a demand of goods varying at the shop according to the event indicated by the event information extracted by the extraction unit, based on actual result information on a past event corresponding to the event indicated by the event information extracted by the extraction unit. An output unit outputs demand prediction information indicating the demand of goods predicted by the prediction unit.

Abstract: A shopping assistance system includes a strength acquirer and a determining processor. The strength acquirer is configured to acquire values of a received signal strength indication at a reader device while the reader device performs wireless communication with an electronic tag attached to at least one product. The reader device is configured to perform the wireless communication with the electronic tag by using a radio wave as a medium to read a piece of product information on the at least one product. The determining processor is configured to determine, for each of the at least one product, whether or not the at least one product is an object to be purchased based on a change of the received signal strength indication over time.

Abstract: A wireless communications system according to an aspect includes a communications terminal, a detection unit, and a control unit. The communications terminal includes a communications unit to communicate wirelessly with a communications partner terminal. The detection unit detects movement of the communications terminal. The control unit controls the communications terminal so as to vary a communicable area of the communications unit. The communicable area is defined relatively to the communications terminal. The control unit varies the communicable area according to at least magnitude of the movement detected by the detection unit.
