Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an information collecting apparatus includes a plurality of tag readers disposed on a mobile apparatus, each respective tag reader being configured to detect a wireless tag attached to an article that is within a detection range of the respective tag reader, a movement controller configured to control movement of the mobile apparatus within a search area along a plurality of routes, each route enclosing a different segment region of the search area, and a data processor configured to acquire tag detection information of the wireless tag during a time in which the mobile apparatus is moving in a particular route enclosing each segment region, aggregate the number of times for which the wireless tag is detected, and identify a particular segment region in which the wireless tag is present based on the aggregated number of times for which the wireless tag is detected.

Claim (Index 15):
An information collecting apparatus, comprising:\n a case body; wheels on the case body; a moving mechanism configured to rotate the wheels; a support body attached to the case body; a plurality of tag readers attached to the support body, each respective tag reader in the plurality being configured to detect a wireless tag attached to an article located within a detection range of the respective tag reader; a movement controller configured to control movement of the mobile apparatus within a search area along a plurality of routes, each route enclosing a different segment region of the search area; and a control device on the case body, the control device configured to:\n acquire tag detection information of the wireless tag during a time in which the mobile apparatus is moving in a particular route enclosing each segment region, the tag detection information including a number of times the wireless tag is detected while the mobile apparatus moves along the particular route, \n aggregate the number of times for which the wireless tag is detected during the time in which the mobile apparatus is moving in the particular route, and \n identify a particular segment region in which the wireless tag is present based on the aggregated number of times for which the wireless tag is detected.
