Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an acquirement unit configured to acquire a captured image obtained by capturing a commodity by an image capturing unit in sequence; a plurality of reading units configured to read the information relating to the commodity respectively from the captured image acquired by the acquirement unit; a control unit configured to enable each reading unit to act according to a specified order based on setting information in which the operation timing of the reading unit is set; and an output unit configured to output the information read by the reading unit.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an acquirement unit configured to acquire a captured image obtained by capturing a commodity at predetermined acquirement intervals by an image capturing unit in sequence;
- a plurality of reading units configured to read information relating to the commodity respectively from the captured image acquired by the acquirement unit;
- a control unit configured to enable each of the reading units to act in a predetermined order based on setting information in which operation timing of each of the reading units is set;
- and
- an output unit configured to output the information read by the reading unit,
- wherein the setting information is set such that at least two reading units of the reading units start to operate in the predetermined order from a starting point of the predetermined acquirement interval, and the reading unit which is set to be last in the predetermined order of the at least two reading units completes processing of the last reading unit before an end point of the predetermined acquirement interval.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring a captured image obtained by capturing a commodity at predetermined acquirement intervals by an image capturing unit in sequence;
- reading the information relating to the commodity respectively from the captured image acquired commodity by the acquirement unit;
- enabling each reading unit of a plurality of reading units to act in a predetermined order based on setting information in which operation timing of each of the reading units is set;
- and
- outputting the information read by the reading unit,
- wherein the setting information is set such that at least two reading units of the reading units start to operate in the predetermined order from a starting point of the predetermined acquirement interval, and the reading unit which is set to be last in the predetermined order of the at least two reading units completes processing of the last reading unit before an end point of the predetermined acquirement interval.
