Electronic label management apparatus and method
11704516 · 2023-07-18 · ·

Disclosed is computing technology for managing information display of an electronic label which is connected to a management server via a network and displays electronic information. A moving device transmits images, which are obtained by photographing an electronic label and a product while being moved in a store, to a management server. The management server analyzes the images to extract information and detects changes in displayed products to register changed information. The management server performs inventory management using the extracted information. Further, the management server uses the extracted information to inform a store manager so that a location of a displayed product deviated from a place thereof is corrected.

REMOTE LANDMARK RENDERING FOR EXTENDED REALITY INTERFACES
20230013539 · 2023-01-19 ·

Systems and techniques are described for providing a virtual interface for an XR device using a display interface device. A display interface device can display a landmark pattern, such as a quick response (QR) code, on its display. The display can be in the field of view of a camera of the XR device, so that camera captures images depicting the displayed landmark pattern. The XR device can generate, and display on its own display, output images based on the captured images, for instance by overlaying a virtual interface over the landmark pattern. The pose and/or size of the virtual interface in the output images can be based on the pose and/or size of the landmark pattern and/or display in the captured images. The display interface device can receive inputs through its display interface, such as touch-based inputs, which the display interface device can identify for the XR device.
