Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control device equipped with a first acquisition unit for acquiring information pertaining to the location of the center of gravity of cargo transported by a work machine, a second acquisition unit for acquiring information pertaining to the location of a first section of the cargo which differs from the location of the center of gravity thereof, and a calculation unit for calculating information pertaining to the orientation of the cargo on the basis of the information pertaining to the location of the center of gravity of the cargo and the information pertaining to the location of the first section.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A control device comprising: a first acquisition unit that acquires information pertaining to a location of a center of gravity of a cargo conveyed by a work machine; a second acquisition unit that acquires information pertaining to a location of a first section different from the location of the center of gravity of the cargo; and a calculation unit that calculates information pertaining to a direction of the cargo on the basis of the information pertaining to the location of the center of gravity of the cargo and the information pertaining to the location of the first section. 2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the first acquisition unit acquires the information pertaining to the location of the center of gravity of the cargo from the work machine. 3. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the second acquisition unit acquires the information pertaining to the location of the first section from an information reading device that reads information from an information storage unit provided in the first section, and the information pertaining to the location of the first section is information pertaining to a location of the information reading device at the time when the information reading device reads information from the information storage unit. 4. The control device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage unit that stores information pertaining to a planned location at which the cargo is to be installed in association with identification information about the cargo; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the cargo is placed at a correct installation location on the basis of the information pertaining to the location of the center of gravity of the cargo and the information pertaining to the planned location at which the cargo is to be installed. 5. The control device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage unit that stores information pertaining to a planned direction in which the cargo is to be installed in association with identification information about the cargo; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the cargo is oriented in a correct installation direction on the basis of the information pertaining to the direction of the cargo and the information pertaining to the planned direction in which the cargo is to be installed. 6. A terminal with the control device according to claim 1 mounted thereon. 7. A calculation method performed in a terminal including a control device, the calculation method comprising: acquiring information pertaining to a location of a center of gravity of a cargo conveyed by a work machine; acquiring information pertaining to a location of a first section different from the location of the center of gravity of the cargo; and calculating information pertaining to a direction of the cargo on the basis of the information pertaining to the location of the center of gravity of the cargo and the information pertaining to the location of the first section.
