INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, OPTIMIZATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336146 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, OPTIMIZATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that acquires spatial information related to a space where multiple cargoes are located. It then generates constraint conditions based on this information to determine the disposition of the cargoes in the space.
- Acquire spatial information about the height of each subspace where cargoes are located.
- Generate constraint conditions to ensure no other cargo is in the path from one subspace to the entrance/exit, limit the number of cargoes based on height, and adhere to a maximum carrying capacity.
- Determine cargo disposition in the space while ensuring no cargo exceeds the height of the subspace.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in warehouse management systems to optimize cargo placement and ensure efficient use of space.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient cargo placement in a space with height constraints. 2. Ensuring maximum carrying capacity is not exceeded while maintaining a clear path for cargo movement.
Benefits
1. Improved organization and utilization of space. 2. Enhanced efficiency in cargo handling and storage.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized cargo placement technology for warehouses.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be automated warehouse systems that use algorithms to optimize cargo placement based on available space and height constraints.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus handle dynamic changes in cargo height or quantity?
The patent application does not specify how the system adapts to changes in cargo height or quantity once the disposition has been determined.
What is the computational complexity of the algorithm used to generate constraint conditions?
The application does not provide information on the computational resources required to generate the constraint conditions for cargo disposition.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus configured to: acquire spatial information related to a space in which a plurality of cargoes are disposed, the spatial information including a height of each of the plurality of subspaces, generate, according to the spatial information, a first constraint condition which indicates that no other cargo is present in one of the subspaces in a path from another of the subspaces where a cargo to be carried into or out is disposed to an entrance/exit of the space, a second constraint condition which indicates a number of cargoes that do not exceed the height of the subspace, and a third constraint condition which indicates a maximum carrying capacity of the cargoes, and determine, based on the constraint conditions, disposition of the plurality of cargoes in the space on condition that a cargo which exceeds the height of the subspace is not disposed.
