A dimensional translator may automatically translate a dimension from an entity to a different dimension of another entity. The dimensional translator may do so by comparing attributes of the input dimension (the dimension to be translated) to attributes of a target data structure. An attribute may include, for example, hierarchy of a data structure, relationships of a data structure, a keyword associated with a data structure, and a data value associated with the data structure. The dimensional translator may automatically determine how a target entity would categorize the item. In particular, a Universal Product Code dimension of an item provided by an entity may be translated into a data structure of a target entity such as a retailer in order to determine how an item identified by the UPC will be categorized by the retailer.

An image comparison unit (81) compares a query image with a registered image to detect, in the registered image, a region corresponding to the query image. An action information determining unit (82), on the basis of intermediate information in which sub-region information identifying sub-regions in the registered image and action information representing information processing to be executed by a target device are associated with each other, identifies sub-regions on the basis of the sub-region information, chooses a sub-region having the highest degree of matching with the detected region among the identified sub-regions, and identifies action information corresponding to the chosen sub-region. An action information execution unit (83) causes the target device to execute information processing corresponding to the action information.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) dispenser that includes low cost electronic components that can read and write to the tag of a refill cartridge. In one embodiment, the reader utilizes a multi band pass filter to convert the radio frequency identification into a digital signal that is processed by a controller to perform a dispensing function representative to the code of the tag. In another embodiment, the controller utilizes an internal comparator to convert the radio frequency identification into a digital signal that is processed by a controller to perform a dispensing function representative to the code of the tag. The dispenser in both embodiments also includes a pair of transistors that write to the RFID tag of the refill cartridge. A dispenser according to the invention also includes the capability to read and/or write to tags upon cartridges employed by the dispenser, and augmenting the operation of the dispenser as a function thereof. Additionally, a dispenser of variable size is presented that is adaptable, through adjustable partitions or a telescoping cup, to receive and maintain cartridges of various sizes.

A wireless system includes a plurality of objects. The wireless system includes a controller and a radio frequency identification (RFID) read-write device. Each of the objects includes an RFID device and a transceiver. An object and methods of tracking objects are also disclosed.

According to an embodiment, a selection apparatus acquires tag data of a reference wireless tag at a plurality of positions of the antenna, which has been measured by a communication apparatus. In addition, the selection apparatus selects a learned model from a plurality of learned models on the basis of the tag data of the reference wireless tag. The plurality of learned models is models depending on an environment of the communication apparatus and is models generated by machine learning based on a plurality of pieces of learning data. The plurality of pieces of learning data includes tag data of wireless tags that are a plurality of learning targets and data indicating a range in which each of the wireless tags that are the plurality of learning targets is present.

According to an embodiment, a communication apparatus acquires tag data of each wireless tag at a plurality of positions of a moved antenna via an antenna. The communication apparatus inputs the tag data of each wireless tag into a learned model selected from a plurality of learned models in a manner that depends on an environment of the apparatus. In addition, the communication apparatus acquires, on the basis of input of the tag data of each wireless tag into the learned model, data indicating a range in which each wireless tag is present from the learned model.

A gate system control device is a gate system control device configured to control a gate system having an exit gate, and includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor senses that a passport of a person who is in the gate system is placed on a placement region. The second sensor senses that the person is moving. The controller controls the gate system. When the first sensor senses that the passport is placed on the placement region and the second sensor senses that the person is moving to the exit gate, the controller causes the gate system to execute processing for notifying the person.

A method and an apparatus for verifying an identity document, an electronic device, and a storage medium include: collecting an identity document image of a current identity document by means of a first camera; recognizing characters in the identity document image to obtain first identity document data; obtaining second identity document data of the identity document by means of an identity document reader; and verifying authenticity of the identity document according to the first identity document data and the second identity document data.

Systems and methods for enabling a picker to correctly identify and pick inventory items from a warehouse or storage facility are provided. An exemplary portable picking-assistance device comprises first and second communication devices. The first communication device is configured to electronically receive a first item list including one or more items to be retrieved by an operator from a predetermined storage area. The one or more items may be selected from a plurality of items stored in the predetermined storage area. The second communication device is configured to communicate radio frequency signals to a first radio frequency (RF) tag of a plurality of RF tags. The first RF tag is associated with a first item listed on the first item list. An indication is provided to the operator confirming an identification of the first item to be retrieved by the operator.
