INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, ARTICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND ARTICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119410 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, ARTICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND ARTICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that manages the storage and retrieval of articles in a warehouse based on recipient identification information and attribute information.
- Information acquisition unit: Acquires recipient identification information and attribute information related to the article stored in the warehouse.
- Association unit: Stores storage space identification information and article determination information in a storage region to link the target storage space with the article based on the attribute information.
- Article determination information transmission unit: Sends the article determination information to a terminal determined by the recipient identification information when the article is placed in the target storage space.
- Article ejection unit: Removes the article from the target storage space through a predetermined outlet upon input of the article determination information.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in warehouse management systems, logistics operations, and inventory control systems.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient storage and retrieval of articles based on specific attributes. 2. Streamlining the process of associating articles with storage spaces in a warehouse.
Benefits
1. Improved organization and tracking of stored articles. 2. Enhanced efficiency in warehouse operations. 3. Reduction in errors and misplacements of articles.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing warehouse operations, enhancing inventory management systems, and improving logistics processes.
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems for warehouse management that utilize RFID technology for tracking and managing inventory. However, the specific method described in this patent application for associating articles with storage spaces based on recipient and attribute information may be a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology integrate with existing warehouse management systems?
This article does not provide details on the compatibility of the information processing apparatus with other warehouse management software or systems.
What security measures are in place to protect the recipient identification information?
The patent application does not address the security protocols or encryption methods used to safeguard the recipient identification information during transmission and storage.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing apparatus includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires recipient identification information that identifies a recipient of an article stored in a warehouse and attribute information indicating an attribute that needs to be satisfied during storage of the article; an association unit that stores, in a storage region, storage space identification information that identifies a target storage space selected based on the attribute information, and article determination information that determines the article in association with each other; an article determination information transmission unit that transmits the article determination information to a terminal determined by using the recipient identification information, in response to the article being disposed in the target storage space; and an article ejection unit that ejects, from a predetermined outlet, the article stored in the target storage space in response to an input of the article determination information.
