Patent number: 8589259Abstract: A portable communication terminal requests merchandise information from a store management apparatus, by using store identity information about a store where a purchasing transaction is made, and merchandise information about merchandise to be purchased. The store management apparatus has a merchandise information storage configured to store merchandise information including a price of merchandise to be sold in each store. The store management apparatus receives a merchandise information request from a portable communication terminal, retrieves a merchandise information storage, detects merchandise information matching a retrieval condition, and sends the merchandise information to the request source, i.e., the portable communication terminal. The portable communication terminal displays merchandise information sent from the store management apparatus in a display.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Toshiba Tec Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigetoshi Kunieda, Syuichi Tsujimoto, Naoki Watanabe, Yasuhiro Ono, Toru Okada, Kazuya Nambu

Patent number: 7613319Abstract: An electronic watermark generating apparatus color-converts an RGB image, and divides the color-converted image into a plurality of blocks. Then, the apparatus embeds to-be-embedded information as an electronic watermark into blocks in which an irreversible compression image has been quantized, the image being produced by carrying out quantization on a block-by-block basis, and restores the RGB image by carrying out de-quantization with respect to the blocks. The above apparatus color-converts the restored RGB image, and divides the color-converted image into a plurality of blocks. Thereafter, the apparatus carries out quantization on a block-by-block basis, and extracts to-be-embedded information from the thus quantized blocks. The apparatus embeds the to-be-embedded information as an electronic watermark again in the quantized blocks when it is not checked that the to-be-embedded information has been correctly extracted.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2006Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Toshiba Tec Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigetoshi Kunieda, Kouichi Sano, Naoki Watanabe, Masaki Narahashi

Patent number: 7527197Abstract: Tag information which has been previously read but is not currently read is retrieved every time tag information is collectively read by a wireless tag reading device. When corresponding tag information is detected, sales information of a commodity is acquired from this tag information, and the acquired sales information is registered in a sales registering section. Further, display contents in a display device are changed in response to detection of the tag information which has been previously read but is not currently read. Furthermore, when information concerning a commodity for sale is input through a barcode reader, sales information of the commodity is acquired from this input information, and the acquired sales information is registered.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Toshiba Tec Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuo Murofushi, Yasuo Matsumoto, Kouichi Sano, Shigetoshi Kunieda, Yasuhito Kiji

Publication number: 20080228591Abstract: When a merchandise identification code and a store identification code are received from mobile terminal, a merchandise server obtains merchandise information including the merchandise identification code from a merchandise information storage unit of a sales store specified by the store identification code. The merchandise server also obtains payment store information from a payment information storage unit of the sales store. The merchandise server generates an unused outstanding identification code and the merchandise server stores the merchandise information while relating the merchandise information to the outstanding identification code. The merchandise server sends back the outstanding identification code to the mobile terminal together with the payment store information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008Inventors: Naoki WATANABE, Syuichi TSUJIMOTO, Shigetoshi KUNIEDA, Toru OKADA, Kazuya NAMBU, Yasuhiro ONO
