Abstract: With a simple structure, an accumulation conveyor can reduce the distance between articles to be conveyed, so as to improve its efficiency and conveyance efficiency. The accumulation conveyor in accordance with the present invention comprises a motor, provided for each zone, for driving a carrier roller constituting the zone to rotate; a sensor, provided for each zone, for detecting passing of an article to be conveyed; and control means for estimating according to detection information of two articles adjacent to each other detected by the sensor distance information concerning the distance between the articles and switching, when the estimated distance information falls within a predetermined range, a control input to a motor of a zone conveying the article at the back on the upstream side or a motor of a zone adjacent downstream thereto such that the zone has conveying speed faster than that of the zone.

Abstract: An information processing device that includes circuitry that: generates first image data for a first image to be displayed on a display screen of a display; causes the display to display the first image on the display screen; receives an input signal in response to a swipe input having a direction; generates second image data for a second image to be displayed on the display screen in response to the received input signal; and causes the display to display a third image on a portion of the display screen, the portion of the display screen being on a side of the display screen opposite the direction of the swipe input, while the display is generating the second image data to be displayed on the display screen.
