To provide analog clocks with a new visual sensibility. [Solution] The dial 12 is configured so that one of the 12 symbols displayed on it disappears sequentially every hour.

This is an image that displays the time. The three circular sectors, the "inner circular sector," "central circular sector," and "outer circular sector," function as the second hand, hour hand, and minute hand of an analog clock, respectively. The "inner circular sector" is reset (with an area of ​​zero) at 0 seconds into each minute, and then fills the entire circle over the next 60 seconds. The "central circular sector" is reset at 0 minutes into each hour, and then fills the entire circle over the next 60 minutes. The "outer circular sector" fills the circular sector that represents the corresponding hour, and the position of the filled circular sector changes every hour. "Image" represents the time "12:20:40," "Image 1 showing the changed state" represents the time "1:15:30," and "Image 2 showing the changed state" represents the time "5:27:20." The numbers 1 to 12 shown outside the circle in the "Reference Explanatory Diagram" are shown to indicate that they correspond to 1 to 12 o'clock on a clock, and are not actually displayed. The arrows shown in the "Reference Explanatory Diagram" indicate the direction in which the area filled by the "inner circular sector" and the "central circular sector" expands, and are not actually displayed.

A data prediction subsystem stores hourly event potential data indicating an expected amount of removal events as a function of time of day. Based at least in part on event data, it is determined that a first item associated with a first location has an empty status at a time after a start of a day. For the day, an anticipated event value is determined for the first item at the first location. Using the anticipated event value and the hourly event potential data, a time-adjusted event value is determined. Based at least in part on the time-adjusted event value, a prediction value is determined that corresponds to a recommended amount of the first item to request for a future time.
