  • Patent number: 11206630
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing system including a relative-position estimation processing unit configured to estimate a relative position between an access point and a wireless client by using a cooperative position estimation method using distance information based on a signal strength between the access point and the wireless client; and an inside/outside determination processing unit configured to determine an inside/outside positional relationship between a polygonal target area formed by access points and the wireless client, in which the inside/outside determination processing unit determines whether the wireless client is present inside or outside the target area by determining a direction of vector product of the access points forming a side of the target area and a direction of vector product of the wireless client and the access point as a vertex of the polygonal area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10730702
    Abstract: A floor conveyor has a conveyed object support base portion supported on a conveying traveling body via a columnar support member that penetrates, in a vertical direction, a slit formed in a floor surface along a traveling path of the conveying traveling body. An auxiliary floor surface mechanism which narrows the width of the slit has protruding members protruding from the side of the slit to the center of the slit, where each of the protruding members includes a plate-shaped portion along a perpendicularly vertical direction and is held and biased by an elastic force in a protruding posture in which the protruding member protrudes to the center of the slit. When the protruding member contacts the columnar support member, the protruding member moves in the movement direction of the columnar support member against elasticity so as to allow the passage of the columnar support member.
