Publication number: 20190236260Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus carried by a user includes a transceiver and a hardware processor. The transceiver establishes a wired connection or a wireless connection between the electronic apparatus and a wearable device that is worn by the user. While a barcode encoded with information is displayed on a screen of an external electronic device, the hardware processor acquires an image depicting the barcode using a camera provided in the wearable device, determines the information encoded in the barcode from the image of the barcode, and executes processing based on the information determined from the barcode.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2018Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventor: Rinzo Iwamoto

Publication number: 20190236924Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device wearable by a worker includes at least one of a proximity sensor or a contact sensor, a motion sensor, a display, a wearing detector, an abnormality detector, a display controller, and a notification controller. The wearing detector determines whether the electronic device is worn by the worker, based on first data obtained by at least one of the proximity sensor or the contact sensor. The abnormality detector detects an abnormal action of the worker by analyzing second data obtained by the motion sensor when the electronic device is determined to be worn by the worker. The display controller causes the display to display the abnormal action. The notification controller notifies another device of the abnormal action.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2018Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventor: Rinzo Iwamoto
