4. An information processing method executed by a computer, the method comprising:
acquiring an image of a shelf rack;
based on analysis of the image, determining first positional information indicating a position for each advertisement on the shelf rack and second positional information indicating a position for each product on the shelf rack;
identifying, as for each advertisement, a corresponding product based on the first positional information and second positional information;
determining, for each set of an advertisement and a corresponding product, whether first product identification information of a product related to the advertisement and second product identification information of the corresponding product are identical;
in response to determining that the first product identification information and the second product identification information are not identical, obtaining an updated image by superimposing, on the image, a border line and/or an arrow indicating the advertisement associated with the first product identification information that does not satisfy a relationship with the second product identification information; and
outputting the updated image.
