  • Publication number: 20240132253
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet material container being made of a sheet material and including a body portion and a bottom portion that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers. A body portion sheet that constitutes the body portion includes a bonding portion where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet that constitutes the bottom portion, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers. The non-adhesive region forms a bottom filler-filled portion. The bottom filler-filled portion extends annularly around a non-filled portion, and includes at least three protruding leg portions that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion due a leg forming portion.

  • Patent number: 11963759
    Abstract: A state determination device includes: an extraction unit that extracts a face region representing a region corresponding to a face from each of a plurality of frames successively obtained by capturing images of a user's face, extracts face feature points representing parts of the face from the face region, calculates a face feature value extraction region as a region where a change occurs in the face region when the user is in an unawakened state based on the face feature points, and extracts a face feature value as a feature value from the face feature value extraction region; a state determination unit that determines whether the user is in the unawakened state or not based on the face feature value in each of the plurality of frames and previously generated determination information; and an output unit that outputs a determination result.
