A system and related methods for volume dimensioning may be implemented by a smartphone, pad, tablet, or similar mobile computing device configured with a three-dimensional imaging system. The system may recognize the edges and corners of an object and infer its dimensions, from which a volume and dimensional weight can be calculated. The system may utilize the determined dimensions to allocate shipping resources to most efficiently and safely transport a shipment through a supply chain, assess damage to an object, assess the compliance of carry-on baggage to size requirements, and quickly assess the stocking of a retailer's and a competitor's products.

Systems and methods are disclosed, which permit filling containers with a product. A filling arm is disposed within a chamber and an optical sensor is configured to sense openings of the containers within the chamber. Locations of the sensed openings are used to guide the filling arm to fill the containers with a product.

An apparatus and method and electronic device, the apparatus comprising: a memory element configured to store information; a switching element coupled to the memory element; wherein the switching element is configured to be switched from a first state to a second state in response to an input signal provided by a capacitive touch screen and wherein when the switching element is in the second state the information can be read from the memory element by the capacitive touch screen.

Embodiments relate to gameplay using mobile devices. Embodiments include receiving, by a first device, player input initiating a targeted action. Embodiments include determining, by the first device, an orientation of the first device. Embodiments include determining, by the first device, a location of at least a second device based at least on a message received from the second device. Embodiments include identifying, by the first device, that a target of the targeted action is associated with the second device based on the orientation of the first device and the location of the second device. Embodiments include transmitting, by the first device, an indication of the targeted action to the second device.

An example object scanning system includes an object scanner having a backside. The backside includes a plurality of openings. The object scanning system also includes a handle attached to the backside via the plurality of openings. The object scanning system further includes a mount attached to the backside of the handle. The object scanner and the mount are attached to opposite sides of the handle.

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device for acquiring biometric information and an operating method thereof. An electronic device may include: a display including one or more pixels, each pixel including one or more subpixels, and the display configured to include a first area and a second area; a display driver IC configured to control driving of the display; a biometric sensor configured to at least partially overlap the second area, and configured to acquire biometric information; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: identify a request for acquisition of the biometric information; based at least in part on the request, identify state information related to the acquisition of the biometric information; and if the state information satisfies a specified condition, perform a first acquisition of the biometric information using light emitted through the second area, wherein the light emitted through the second area has a specified level of brightness, and wherein in performing the first acquisition of the biometric information, the processor may be further configured to adjust an intensity of light emitted through the first area to be lower than the specified level of brightness.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for operation for an electronic device. Video is output on a display unit of the electronic device. The display unit displays a screen showing a range for device recognition, and displays at least one result of the device recognition corresponding to at least one device.

The disclosed embodiments include wearable devices and methods for performing courier services. In one implementation, the device includes a depth camera for detecting object depths in a field of view, a scanner for decoding visual codes, a speaker for producing audible sounds in response to an electrical signal, memory, and a processor. The processor may execute instructions to detect a scanning event based on a first signal received from the depth camera, determine a scan region associated with the scanning event, provide a second signal to the scanner causing the scanner to decode a visual code located within the scan region, generate scan data based on a third signal received from the scanner, and provide a fourth signal to the speaker causing the speaker to emit a notification sound. The wearable device may also capture signatures, dimension objects, and disable device functions based on time and place restrictions.

Disclosed are a method for information association, a system for information association, and an electronic bookmark. The method may include the follows. An electronic bookmark receives annotation information input for a book reading page covered by the electronic bookmark. The electronic bookmark acquires page information of the covered book reading page, and associates the annotation information with the page information.

A system for use with a tablet computer includes a host electronic board configured to connect the tablet computer to a plurality of peripheral devices. An enclosure is configured to enclose the host electronic board and the tablet computer in an interior space of the enclosure. The enclosure includes a first part and a second part, which are moveable relative to one another between an open position for adding and removing the tablet computer from the enclosure and a closed position. The enclosure is configured so the interior space of the enclosure is substantially inaccessible from outside the enclosure in the closed position. The system includes a lock on the enclosure. The lock is configured to selectively convert from an unlocked configuration in which the first and second parts of the enclosure can be moved to the open position and a locked configuration in which the first and second parts of the enclosure cannot be non-destructively moved from the closed position to the open position.
