AREA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AREA MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18133046 titled 'AREA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AREA MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an area management system that tracks the movement of mobile objects in a specific area. The system includes an acquisition unit that collects information on the mobile history of these objects. A statistical processing unit then analyzes this information to generate a distribution of the probability of the objects' existence in the area. Based on this distribution, an area definition unit defines a specific area within the management target area and assigns an attribute to it.
- The system tracks the movement of mobile objects in a specific area.
- It collects information on the mobile history of these objects.
- The system performs statistical processing on this information to generate a distribution of the probability of the objects' existence in the area.
- Based on this distribution, the system defines a specific area within the management target area.
- The defined area is assigned an attribute.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:
- Asset tracking: The system can be used to track the movement and existence of valuable assets within a specific area, ensuring their security and preventing theft.
- Supply chain management: It can help optimize the movement of goods and products within a warehouse or distribution center, improving efficiency and reducing errors.
- Traffic management: The system can monitor the movement of vehicles in a specific area, allowing for better traffic flow management and congestion reduction.
- Security and surveillance: It can be utilized to track the presence and movement of individuals in a restricted area, enhancing security measures and preventing unauthorized access.
Problems Solved
The area management system addresses several problems, including:
- Lack of real-time tracking: The system provides real-time information on the movement and existence of mobile objects within a specific area, allowing for better monitoring and management.
- Inefficient resource allocation: By analyzing the distribution of existence probability, the system can optimize resource allocation within the defined area, ensuring efficient utilization.
- Limited visibility: The system provides a comprehensive view of the mobile objects' history and existence probability, improving situational awareness and decision-making.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced security: The system improves security measures by tracking the movement and existence of mobile objects, preventing unauthorized access and theft.
- Improved efficiency: By optimizing resource allocation and providing real-time tracking, the system enhances operational efficiency in various applications.
- Better decision-making: The comprehensive information provided by the system enables better decision-making based on the distribution of existence probability and mobile history of objects.
Original Abstract Submitted
An area management system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a mobile history of at least one mobile object that moves in a management target area, a statistical processing unit configured to generate a distribution of existence probability of the at least one mobile object in a management target area by performing statistical processing on information on a mobile history of the at least one mobile object, and an area definition unit configured to define a predetermined area included in the management target area together with an area attribute of the predetermined area, based on the distribution of existence probability of the at least one mobile object in the management target area.
