Abstract

There is provided an information processing device for measuring a dimension of an object to be measured in a low-load calculation processing. A handy terminal includes a depth map sensor block for generating a depth map of an object to be measured by use of a depth map sensor, and a coordinate transformation/side length calculation unit that measures a dimension of the object to be measured based on the depth map. The handy terminal may further includes a delivery fee calculation unit that calculates a delivery fee of the object to be measured based on the dimension.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a depth map generation unit that generates a depth map of an object to be measured by use of a depth map sensor; and

a measurement processing unit that measures a dimension of the object to be measured based on the depth map.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a vertex detection unit that detects one vertex of the object to be measured and three vertexes adjacent to the one vertex from the depth map,

wherein the measurement processing unit calculates the lengths from the one vertex to the three vertexes, respectively, thereby to measure a dimension of the object to be measured.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a light emission unit that emits a light toward the object to be measured,

wherein the depth map is generated depending on a temporal difference between a timing when a light is emitted from the light emission unit and a light reception signal which is the received light reflected from the object to be measured by the depth map sensor.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the depth map generation unit generates the depth map in the TOF (Time Of Flight) system.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a symbol reader for reading information from a symbol,

wherein the measurement processing unit associates information read by the symbol reader with a dimension measured by the measurement processing unit.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless transmission unit that wirelessly transmits a dimension measured by the measurement processing unit.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a delivery fee calculation unit that calculates a delivery fee of the object to be measured based on the dimension.

8. An information processing system comprising the information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the information processing device includes a symbol reader for reading information from a symbol, and

the information processing system associates information read by the symbol reader with a dimension measured by the dimension processing unit.

9. An information processing system comprising the information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the information processing device includes a symbol reader for reading information from a symbol, and

the information processing system associates information read by the symbol reader with a dimension measured by the measurement processing unit and/or a delivery fee calculated by the delivery fee calculation unit.

10. An information processing method comprising:

a depth map generation step of generating a depth map of an object to be measured by use of a depth map sensor; and

a measurement step of measuring a dimension of the object to be measured based on the depth map.

11. An information processing method comprising:

a depth map generation step of generating a depth map of an object to be measured by use of a depth map sensor;

a measurement step of measuring a dimension of the object to be measured based on the depth map; and

a delivery fee calculation step of calculating a delivery fee of the object to be measured based on the dimension.

12. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having stored therein an information processing program that causes a computer to function as:

a depth map generation unit that generates a depth map of an object to be measured by use of a depth map sensor; and

a measurement processing unit that measures a dimension of the object to be measured based on the depth map.

13. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having stored therein an information processing program that causes a computer to function as:

a depth map generation unit that generates a depth map of an object to be measured by use of a depth map sensor;

a measurement processing unit that measures a dimension of the object to be measured based on the depth map; and

a delivery fee calculation unit that calculates a delivery fee of the object to be measured based on the dimension.
