MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD, MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18237790 titled 'MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD, MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The management apparatus described in this patent application is designed to manage a target facility by adding optically readable optical information indicating facility identification information to it. The apparatus includes a detection unit that can detect this optical information from an image of the target facility, a determination unit that determines the conditions for extracting an image of the facility based on the initial image, and an association unit that associates the facility identification information with the determined extraction condition.

  • The apparatus can detect and read optical information added to a target facility.
  • It determines the conditions for extracting an image of the facility based on the initial image.
  • It associates the facility identification information with the determined extraction condition.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various industries and sectors, including:

  • Facility management: The apparatus can be used to efficiently manage and track various facilities by associating them with unique identification information.
  • Inventory management: By adding optical information to inventory items, the apparatus can help in tracking and managing inventory more effectively.
  • Security and access control: The technology can be utilized to enhance security measures by associating facility identification information with access control systems.

Problems Solved

The management apparatus addresses several problems in facility and inventory management:

  • Manual identification: Traditional methods of identifying and managing facilities or inventory items often require manual processes, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Lack of efficient tracking: Without a system to associate identification information with specific conditions for extraction, it can be challenging to track and manage facilities or inventory items effectively.
  • Limited automation: The apparatus provides a more automated solution for facility and inventory management, reducing the need for manual intervention.

Benefits

The use of this management apparatus offers several benefits:

  • Improved efficiency: By automating the identification and tracking process, the apparatus can significantly improve the efficiency of facility and inventory management.
  • Enhanced accuracy: The optical information detection and association capabilities of the apparatus help minimize errors and improve the accuracy of facility and inventory data.
  • Streamlined operations: With the ability to extract images based on determined conditions, the apparatus simplifies the management process and enables more streamlined operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A management apparatus manages a target facility to which an optically readable optical information indicating a facility identification information is added. The management apparatus includes: a detection unit that detects the optical information from a first image obtained by imaging the target facility; a determination unit that determines an extraction condition for extracting an extraction image including at least a part of the target facility, on the basis of the first image; and an association unit that associates the facility identification information indicated by the optical information with the determined extraction condition.
