  • Patent number: 11836941
    Abstract: A package measuring apparatus includes a depth sensor, the package having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and placed on a mounting table, and at least one processor. The processor obtains spatial coordinates of four vertices within a space in which the center of the depth sensor is set as the point of origin based on data of a distance from the depth sensor to each of the four vertices and data of a position of each sensor element of the depth sensor corresponding to each of the four vertices. The processor calculates, based on the spatial coordinates of the four vertices, a length of each of three sides defined between a first vertex and three other vertices.

  • Publication number: 20230071500
    Abstract: A package measuring apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a mounting table; floatation member configured to float a package above an upper surface of the mounting table; a depth sensor configured to capture an image of the package being floated by the floatation member above the upper surface of the mounting table and thereby detect a distance between the depth sensor and the package, the depth sensor being disposed at a position where the depth sensor is able to capture the image of the package from substantially directly above it; and a control unit configured to calculate a size of the package based on data acquired from the depth sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220392095
    Abstract: A package measuring apparatus includes a control unit and a depth sensor that picks up a package having a rectangular parallelepiped shape placed on a mounting table from substantially directly above the package. The control unit is configured to: specify data of the package in an acquired depth image data by comparing with background depth image data; calculate a height of the package and specify positions of three vertices located on a leftmost, rightmost, and uppermost or lowermost side in the depth image data; obtain two-dimensional coordinates of the three vertices based on a view angle of the depth sensor, data of a distance from the depth sensor corresponding to the three vertices, data of a position of each sensor element, and the number of sensor elements; and calculate a length of two sides defined between a third vertex and other two vertices based on the two-dimensional coordinates.

  • Patent number: 7673162
    Abstract: An information processing terminal includes a WOL monitoring unit for monitoring whether or not a particular packet for indicating resumption of operation from a suspended state is received, a resume processing unit for resuming the operation from the suspended state, a factor monitoring unit for recording a factor of the resumption to a memory, a cancel monitoring unit for monitoring whether or not a cancel signal to a communication request received after the resumption is received, and a suspend processing unit for switching the operation to the suspended state when the factor of the resumption is reception of the particular packet as well as the cancel signal is received after the resumption. With this arrangement, power consumption of the information processing terminal can be suppressed.
