Sales data processing apparatus and method for executing data processing of article

Abstract

A sales data processing apparatus comprises a control module which switches between a first mode for enabling a reading section, which reads a three-dimensional shape of an article and a two-dimensional image of the article, to read the three-dimensional shape of the article and a second mode for reading the two-dimensional image of the article; a calculation module which calculates a delivery charge of the article based on the three-dimensional shape of the article read in the first mode and a list in which the charge is determined for each volume of the article to be delivered; a registration module which registers an amount of the article contained in the two-dimensional image based on the two-dimensional image read in the second mode; and a first display control module which displays the delivery charge calculated by the calculation module or the amount registered by the registration module.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing apparatus, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitates operations, comprising:   receiving, via user input, a display request representing a request to display three-dimensional information;   based on the display request, transmitting, to a server apparatus, a transmission request representing a request for delivery information comprising a voucher number;   receiving, from the server apparatus, extracted delivery information comprising the voucher number and the three-dimensional information; and   displaying the three-dimensional information on a display, wherein the three-dimensional information represents a synthesis of a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object and coordinate data determined as a function of irradiating the three-dimensional object with laser light, measuring a time spent for the laser light to be returned from the three-dimensional object, and determining a direction of the laser light reflected off the three-dimensional object.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a portable terminal. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a smart phone. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is part of a home delivery system. 
     
     
         5 . A server apparatus, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitates operations, comprising:   receiving, from an information processing apparatus, a transmission request comprising a request for delivery information and a voucher number; and   based on the voucher number, transmitting, to the information processing apparatus, the delivery information comprising three-dimensional information, wherein the three-dimensional information represents a synthesis of captured two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object and coordinate data determined as a function of irradiating the three-dimensional object with laser light, measuring a time spent for the laser light to reflect off the three-dimensional object, and determining a direction of the laser light returned from the three-dimensional object.   
     
     
         6 . The server apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise storing a three-dimensional shape of the three-dimensional object in association with identification information representing the delivery information. 
     
     
         7 . The server apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the server apparatus is a home computer. 
     
     
         8 . The server apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the server apparatus is a smart phone. 
     
     
         9 . The server apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the server apparatus is part of a home delivery system. 
     
     
         10 . An information processing method, comprising:
 receiving, via operator input, a display request representing a request to display three-dimensional information;   based on the display request, transmitting, to a server apparatus, a transmission request representing a request for delivery information comprising a voucher number;   receiving, from the server apparatus, extracted delivery information comprising the voucher number and the three-dimensional information; and   displaying the three-dimensional information on a display, wherein the three-dimensional information represents a synthesis of a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object and coordinate data determined as a function of irradiating the three-dimensional object with laser light, measuring a time spent for the laser light to be returned from the three-dimensional object, and determining a direction of the laser light reflected off the three-dimensional object.   
     
     
         11 . The information processing method according to  claim 10 , further comprising:
 storing a three-dimensional shape of the three-dimensional object in association with identification information representing the delivery information.
