  • Publication number: 20240323616
    Abstract: A sound processing device that performs sound processing mainly for a hearing aid device is to be provided. The sound processing device includes: an information estimation unit that estimates control information, on the basis of hearing threshold information regarding a hearing threshold at each frequency, and input sound information; and a signal processing unit that processes an input sound signal, on the basis of the estimated control information. The hearing threshold information is a threshold measurement result obtained by measuring the hearing threshold of the user of the sound processing device at each frequency. The information estimation unit estimates information regarding an acceptable delay amount or noise canceling characteristics in the signal processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20230237756
    Abstract: An information processing device for a retail merchandise registration system includes a communication interface configured to connect to product scanners and processing requests and image data from the scanners. The processor compares a present device load value to a threshold and sends a positive response when the present device load is less than the threshold and a negative response when the present device load is equal to or greater than the threshold load. An image processing unit is configured to perform recognition processing on the image data from the scanner devices to detect an object depicted in the image data. The processor sends a recognition result to the scanner after the recognition processing has been performed by the image processing unit.

  • Patent number: 8584954
    Abstract: A scanner according to an embodiment includes a housing, an imaging device provided in the housing, and a light source. The housing has an imaging window. The imaging window is sectioned by an upper side portion, a lower side portion, and a pair of side portions. The lower side portion is spaced apart from the upper side portion. The pair of side portions connect respective ends of the upper side portion and the lower side portion. The imaging device picks up, via the imaging window, an image of a reading target present in a reading area formed on the outer side of the housing through the imaging window and outputs image data of the reading target. The light source is located on the outer side of the reading area and arranged along each of the side portions of the housing and irradiates illumination light on the reading area.
