Server Apparatus Dynamic Exhibition Fee Calculation

The patent implements differential exhibition fees for different display positions based on their actual product turnover rates. High-turnover positions (front row, second row) are charged higher fees while low-turnover positions (third row and beyond) are charged lower fees. This local differentiation optimizes revenue generation by matching fee levels with actual display effectiveness, resolving the contradiction between revenue optimization and management simplicity.

The patent replaces manual monitoring with an automated image recognition system using cameras and processing units. The system captures images of display positions, automatically identifies products, and calculates turnover rates by comparing product presence over time. This mechanical-to-automated substitution significantly improves turnover measurement accuracy while the modular system design keeps complexity manageable through standardized image processing algorithms.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where turnover data from image recognition is continuously fed back to the fee calculation system. This enables dynamic adjustment of exhibition fees based on actual product performance - products that sell quickly generate higher fees while slow-moving products are charged less. The feedback loop creates a self-regulating system that optimizes display time allocation without requiring complex manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between reducing time loss and maintaining system simplicity.
