  • Patent number: 11927531
    Abstract: A degradation status of a casing containing fresh items is to be grasped. An information processing device includes: an internal information acquisition unit acquiring internal information, which is information regarding an inside of a casing containing a fresh item in a refrigerated state or a frozen state; and a degradation information generation unit generating information regarding degradation of the casing based on the internal information acquired by the internal information acquisition unit. The internal information acquisition unit acquires, as the internal information, atmosphere information, which is information regarding an atmosphere inside the casing, and the degradation information generation unit generates the information regarding the degradation based on the atmosphere information.

  • Publication number: 20230138886
    Abstract: Reinforcement learning is performed on control conditions of the perishable product environment by using information regarding freshness of perishable products by a freshness sensor to automatically control the perishable product environment. There are provided: a freshness determination section 520 acquiring information regarding freshness of a perishable product contained in a storage container; and an analysis section 530 learning, by reinforcement learning, an inside environment of the storage container for the freshness of the perishable product acquired by the freshness determination section 520 to decide a reward used in the learning. The analysis section 530 decides the reward based on the decrease in the freshness over a certain period of time under the inside environment for the freshness determined based on the freshness acquired by the freshness determination section 520. Then, the analysis section 530 learns the inside environment for the freshness based on the decided reward.

  • Publication number: 20220185064
    Abstract: A quality determination apparatus includes a state detector and a main processing unit. The state detector detects a state index. The state index is an index indicating a state of a target article contained in a storage space where an internal environment is controlled. The main processing unit performs a determination operation. The determination operation is an operation of determining whether a sign condition indicating a sign of degradation of the target article is met based on the state index detected by the state detector.
