Gone are the days when a laborious search by hand is required to locate a missing item at the lost and found office.

得在失物招領處用手費盡找出遺失物的日子，已成為往事。

In May, Tokyo-based private railroad operator Keio Corp. introduced a service that relies on artificial intelligence to sort things out quickly.

（2023年）5月，總部位於（日本）東京的私鐵業者京王，推出仰賴人工智慧來快速挑選出東西的服務。

Kyushu Railway Co. (JR Kyushu), based in Fukuoka, followed suit by starting to provide a similar service in August.

總部位於福岡的九州旅客鐵道公司（JR九州）依樣畫葫蘆，8月開始提供類似服務。

Claimants simply need a smartphone to make an inquiry.

失主只需要1支智慧型手機，即可查詢（遺失物）。

First, they need to enter a description of the lost article, including any defining features, along with a photo, and date and place of loss, via an official account of the lost property search service on the Line free messaging app.

首先，失主得在免費通訊應用程式Line的失物搜尋服務官方帳號，輸入有關遺失物的描述，包括任何明確特徵，以及（附上）1張照片、遺失日期與地點。

The AI system taps into a database to compare the inputted information and selects candidate articles that best match the description.

人工智慧系統利用資料庫來比對（失主）輸入的資料，挑出與（失主的）描述最匹配的備選失物。
