PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the time required for checking including database retrieval.SOLUTION: A checking device is configured to retrieve a database formed by associating a determination image representing appearance of a packed commodity box with character information for identifying a commodity packed in the commodity box. The commodities are classified into groups in advance on the basis of shipping frequency. The groups include at least a first group and a second group with shipping frequency lower than that of the first group. The checking device determines whether acquired character information coincides with character information identifying a commodity belonging to the first group before determining whether the acquired character information coincides with character information identifying a commodity belonging to the second group.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】データベース検索を含む検品に掛かる時間の短縮。【解決手段】検品装置は、商品が梱包された商品箱の外観を表す判定用画像と、商品箱に梱包された商品を特定するための文字情報とが対応付けられたデータベースの検索が可能に構成されている。商品は、出荷の頻度に基づき予めグループ分けされており、グループには、少なくとも第１のグループと、第１のグループよりも出荷の頻度が低い第２のグループとが含まれる。第１のグループに属する商品を特定する文字情報に対し、取得された文字情報が一致するか否かの判定を、第２のグループに属する商品を特定する文字情報に対し、取得された文字情報が一致するか否かの判定よりも、先に実施する。【選択図】図７
