Information processing apparatus and information processing method

摘要

In accordance with one embodiment, an information processing apparatus comprises an image capturing module configured to photograph a commodity to capture the image of the commodity, an acquisition module configured to acquire the image captured by the image capturing module, a recognition module configured to recognize a commodity as a candidate of the commodity from standard commodities based on the image of the commodity captured by the image capturing module, a clock module configured to count an elapsed time until the recognition module recognizes the commodity, and a notification module configured to give a notification if the elapsed time reaches a given time.

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a memory having computer executable components stored therein; and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the hardware processor configured to: photograph a commodity to capture an image of the commodity; acquire the captured image; recognize a commodity as a candidate of the commodity from standard commodities based on the acquired image of the commodity; count an elapsed time until the commodity is recognized; and provide a first notification for urging a user to change a current recognition method to another recognition method if the elapsed time reaches a first predetermined time, wherein the hardware processor is further configured to: detect an image of the commodity from the image captured, extract a feature amount from the image of the commodity detected, compare the feature amount of each standard commodity with the feature amount of the extracted commodity to calculate a similarity degree therebetween, recognize a standard commodity of which the similarity degree is greater than a threshold value as the commodity candidate, and count the elapsed time from a time at which the image of the commodity is detected to a time at which the commodity candidate is recognized.
