  • Patent number: 11206049
    Abstract: An encoder and decoder using LDPC-CC which avoid lowering the transmission efficiency of information while not deteriorating error correction performance, even at termination; and an encoding method of the same. A termination sequence length determining unit determines the sequence length of a termination sequence transmitted added to the end of an information sequence, according to the information length (information size) and encoding rate of the information sequence. A parity calculation unit carries out LDPC-CC coding on the information sequence and the known-information sequence necessary for generating a termination sequence of the determined termination sequence length, and calculates a parity sequence.

  • Patent number: 11159924
    Abstract: There are an updating method of an electronic tag and an update system of the electronic tag performed by the electronic tag which displays sorting information, and a controller and an access point disposed inside a vehicle such as a truck. The controller requests an external server to transmit information on the electronic tag, and the sorting information corresponding to information on a parcel to which the electronic tag is fixed, and transmits the obtained sorting information to the access point. Further, the access point transmits the sorting information to the electronic tag, and the electronic tag updates the display of the sorting information. In this manner, the electronic tag can be updated by using an idle time during delivery.

  • Patent number: 10582153
    Abstract: In an information providing terminal, a half mirror, which reflects display content of a third display panel toward an operator and causes incident light of a third camera to pass therethrough, is obliquely attached to a part above a fourth display panel by 45° with respect to a horizontal direction. The third camera is disposed behind the half mirror. The operator has a conversation with a user while viewing a facial picture of the user which is projected by the third display panel and is reflected in the half mirror. The third camera disposed at a back of the half mirror images a facial picture of the operator from the front over the half mirror. At this time, the facial picture of the operator, which faces the front, is projected onto a first display panel of an information displaying terminal.
