Abstract: A package reception system according to an embodiment includes a measurement device with a camera that captures an image of a package and generates image data corresponding to the captured image. A first processor in the measurement device determines a size of the package based on the image data. The measurement device outputs an issuance request including instructions to perform a settlement processing with respect to a fee for receiving and transporting the package and to print an invoice to be used in connection with transporting the package. The system further includes a settlement device. A second processor in the settlement device receives the issuance request, and performs the settlement processing with respect to the fee calculated based on a size of the package determined based on the image data. The second processor controls a printer to print, after the settlement processing is performed, the invoice.

Abstract: A package measurement apparatus according to an embodiment includes a housing having a first surface that supports a package to be placed thereon and a second surface above the first surface. A touch panel display is mounted on the second surface and is positioned facing upward. A camera is positioned to capture an image of the package when the package is placed on the first surface and configured to generate image data corresponding to the captured image.

Abstract: A package reception system according to an embodiment includes a measurement device. A camera captures an image of a package positioned on a surface of the measurement device and generates image data corresponding to the captured image. A first processor of the measurement determines a size of the package based on the image data. The measurement device outputs a settlement request that includes the image data, the determined size, and instructions to perform a settlement processing. The system further includes a settlement device with a storage device. A second processor of the settlement device receives the issuance request, and performs the settlement processing with respect to the fee calculated based on a size of the package determined based on the image data. The second processor controls the storage device to store, in association, the image data, the determined size, and a package code for identifying the package.
