  • Publication number: 20240104821
    Abstract: The embodiment of the disclosure relates to a touch animation display method and apparatus, device, and medium, wherein the method includes the following steps: identifying a human body key point position on a human body in an existing video frame; according to a predetermined motion mode, acquiring a display position of a target object in the existing video frame; according to the human body key point position and the display position, judging whether a preset touch condition is satisfied; if the touch condition is satisfied, adjusting a motion mode of the target object according to a target key point position. Therefore, by displaying the target object in the video frame, the touch motion during interaction with a user is simulated in real time, the interestingness of video display is improved, and the user's interaction experience is improved.

  • Publication number: 20050177272
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring access in manufacturing plants that comprises the following steps: defining access-controlled areas in a manufacturing plant into which defined objects should not enter; applying a transponder to a container, whereby the transponder carries an item of information regarding the contents of the container; providing base stations in the access-controlled areas and using the base stations to detect when a container approaches an access-controlled area into which the contents of the container should not enter, and; indicating the prohibited approach of a container. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.

  • Publication number: 20040267545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile reader (1) for reading out information from a transponder (10). Said mobile reader comprises a first transmitter/receiver device (2) for emitting a read-out signal to a transponder (10) and for receiving a response signal emitted by the transformer (10) in response to the read-out signal, wherein said response signal comprises identification information for identifying the transponder (10). The first transmitter/receiver device (2) functions with wireless communication on the basis of electromagnetic waves in a first frequency range. The mobile reader (1) further comprises a second transmitter/receiver device (3) for the wireless communication with a base station on the basis of electromagnetic waves in a second frequency range. The second transmitter/receiver device (3) transmits the identification information received by the first transmitter/receiver device in the response signal to the base station.

  • Patent number: 6294981
    Abstract: A transponder reading device and a control system for controlling the handling and/or processing of transponder-bearing objects by such transponder reading devices. The transponder reading device is equipped with its own microcontroller, and with its own control unit. The microcontroller is, as a component (node) of a control unit, able to communicate with other devices of the same design to exchange information. Consequently, several such devices can be operated simultaneously in a confined space without interfering with each other.
