INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17639684 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an information processing system that includes gate apparatuses, a thermal camera, and an information processing apparatus.

  • The system includes gate apparatuses placed at lanes for target persons to pass through.
  • A thermal camera captures images of target persons in the imaging range, generating body temperature information.
  • An information processing apparatus obtains the body temperature information from the thermal camera.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various settings such as airports, hospitals, schools, and public events to screen individuals for elevated body temperatures.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in quickly identifying individuals with abnormal body temperatures, which can be an indicator of illness or infection, allowing for timely intervention and prevention of potential spread of diseases.

Benefits

The system provides a non-invasive and efficient way to screen individuals for elevated body temperatures, helping in maintaining public health and safety.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Health Screening System for Public Events and Transportation Hubs": This technology can be marketed as a comprehensive health screening system for large gatherings and transportation hubs.
  • "Temperature Monitoring Solution for Workplace Safety": Companies can use this system to monitor the health of employees entering the premises, ensuring a safe work environment.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of thermal cameras for body temperature screening in various industries, but the specific combination of gate apparatuses and an information processing system as described in this patent application may be unique.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle privacy concerns?

The article does not address how the system ensures the privacy of individuals passing through the lanes and having their body temperature information captured.

What is the accuracy of the body temperature readings from the thermal camera?

The article does not provide information on the accuracy or reliability of the body temperature readings obtained from the thermal camera.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing system (SYS) includes: a plurality of gate apparatuses () that are respectively placed at a plurality of lanes (L) through each of which a target person (P) can pass; a thermal camera () that is configured to generate a body temperature information (IMG_T) indicating a body temperature of the target person by capturing an image of the target person included in an imaging range (TRG) thereof, the imaging range including at least a part of each of the plurality of lanes; and an information processing apparatus () that obtains the body temperature information from the thermal camera.
