Publication number: 20150306634Abstract: A delivery sorting processing system of an embodiment recognizes recognizable semantic information from an image of a delivery, extracts a candidate for a delivery destination area from the semantic information, and determines priority according to a possibility of being relevant to a candidate for a delivery destination area of the delivery. The system determined a delivery destination of a delivery based on information included in a candidate for a delivery destination area selected by an operator's operation and stores the candidate for a delivery destination area determined to have the high priority and a candidate for a delivery destination area selected by the operator's operation in association with each other in a storage section, in a case where a predetermined condition is not satisfied. The system determines whether there is a match between the candidate for a delivery destination area determined to have high priority.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Masaya Maeda, Tomoyuki Hamamura, Yuka Watanabe, Ying Piao, Bunpei Irie, Kenji Baba
