Abstract

A loading determination system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire a dimension of a loading space in a vehicle, acquire image data of luggage to be loaded, compute a dimension of the luggage based on the acquired image data, and determine whether or not loading of the luggage into the loading space is possible by comparing the acquired dimension of the loading space with the computed dimension of the luggage.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A loading determination system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory,
the processor being configured to
acquire a dimension of a loading space in a vehicle,
acquire image data of luggage to be loaded,
compute a dimension of the luggage based on the acquired image data,
determine whether or not loading of the luggage into the loading space is possible by comparing the acquired dimension of the loading space with the computed dimension of the luggage, and
acquire the dimension of the loading space from captured image data of the loading space.

2. The loading determination system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to acquire the dimension of the loading space that has been stored in advance by vehicle type.

3. The loading determination system of claim 1 , wherein, in a case in which luggage has already been loaded into the loading space, the processor is further configured to acquire the dimension of the loading space taking the already-loaded luggage into consideration.

4. The loading determination system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to instruct a user of a loading location and a loading orientation of the luggage.

5. A loading determination method comprising, by a processor:
acquiring a dimension of a loading space in a vehicle;
acquiring image data of luggage to be loaded;
computing a dimension of the luggage based on the acquired image data;
determining whether or not loading of the luggage into the loading space is possible by comparing the acquired dimension of the loading space with the computed dimension of the luggage; and
acquiring the dimension of the loading space from captured image data of the loading space.

6. The loading determination method of claim 5 , further comprising, by the processor:
acquiring the dimension of the loading space that has been stored in advance by vehicle type.

7. The loading determination method of claim 5 , further comprising, by the processor:
in a case in which luggage has already been loaded into the loading space, acquiring the dimension of the loading space taking the already-loaded luggage into consideration.

8. The loading determination method of claim 5 , further comprising, by the processor:
instructing a user of a loading location and a loading orientation of the luggage.

9. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program that causes a processor to execute loading determination processing, the loading determination processing comprising:
acquiring a dimension of a loading space in a vehicle;
acquiring image data of luggage to be loaded;
computing a dimension of the luggage based on the acquired image data;
determining whether or not loading of the luggage into the loading space is possible by comparing the acquired dimension of the loading space with the computed dimension of the luggage; and
acquiring the dimension of the loading space from captured image data of the loading space.

10. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , the loading determination processing further comprising:
acquiring the dimension of the loading space that has been stored in advance by vehicle type.

11. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , the loading determination processing further comprising:
in a case in which luggage has already been loaded into the loading space, acquiring the dimension of the loading space taking the already-loaded luggage into consideration.

12. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , the loading determination processing further comprising:
instructing a user of a loading location and a loading orientation of the luggage.
