An image processing apparatus includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: estimate, based on image information from a medical device that includes at least an endoscope, a plurality of procedure actions of an operator of the endoscope; perform different supports respectively for procedures by the operator, according to an estimation result of the procedure actions; and output a display for the supports to a display.

The present disclosure relates to a safety management system. The safety management system calculates a real-time data risk score and an incident data risk score based on real-time data received from a wearable device and incident data selected from big data, calculates a total risk score by summing all values obtained by multiplying calculated risk for respective data by weights for respective data, compares the total risk store with a preset threshold score, and transmits a dangerous situation message to a risk recognition subject when it is determined that a user is at risk. The safety management system of the present disclosure may transmit the real-time data, the incident data, and the dangerous situation message using a 5G communication system, and a safety management server for determining whether or not the user is at risk may be implemented using an artificial neural network.

This disclosure describes interactive data processing systems configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative results generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative results associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative results accurately reflects the actual event. The system may then determine whether the event is to be merged with one or more temporally and spatially proximate events and, if so, the sensor data and tentative results for the merged event is sent to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative results.

A device may be configured to detect a glare condition and may comprise a photo sensing circuit and a visible light sensing circuit. The photo sensing circuit may be configured to periodically generate an illuminance signal that indicates an illuminance value. The visible light sensing circuit may be configured to periodically record images of the space at an exposure time. The device may receive an illuminance signal from the photo sensing circuit and determine a present illuminance based on the illuminance signal. The device may adjust the frequency at which the visible light sensing circuit records images based on the present illuminance. The exposure time may be determined based on the present illuminance and a glare condition type. An image recorded at a respective exposure time may wash out pixels above a certain illuminance value. The device may detect a glare condition at the location of washed out pixels.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and method, an electronic device and computer readable medium. According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to compare environment data acquired by a user equipment with reference data; determine, based on the comparison, an adjustment for an acquisition manner of the environment data; and perform a control to notify the user equipment of indication information related to the adjustment.

An information processing device for a retail merchandise registration system includes a communication interface configured to connect to product scanners and processing requests and image data from the scanners. The processor compares a present device load value to a threshold and sends a positive response when the present device load is less than the threshold and a negative response when the present device load is equal to or greater than the threshold load. An image processing unit is configured to perform recognition processing on the image data from the scanner devices to detect an object depicted in the image data. The processor sends a recognition result to the scanner after the recognition processing has been performed by the image processing unit.

Disclosed is an electronic device for processing a touch input. The electronic device may comprise: a touch screen; a biometric sensor disposed overlappingly at a position of at least a part of the touch screen; and a processor for acquiring biometric information of a user from an input relating to an object displayed through the touch screen, by using the biometric sensor, receiving a payment command associated with a payment function for the object, and performing the payment function for a product corresponding to the object by using the biometric information according to the payment command. Various other embodiments may be provided.

A system and method for image recognition registration of an athlete into a sporting event. The athlete is registered in the sporting event using image recognition technology. A digital commencement image of the athlete taken by a camera (106) as the athlete crosses a starting line. The digital commencement image is compared with a stored profile image of the athlete to identify the athlete and enter them into the event without the need for the athlete to pre-register for the particular event. Enhanced recognition techniques incorporating pattern recognition may be used to increase identity accuracy.
