INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243357 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that includes a summarizing unit and a display control unit. The summarizing unit obtains videos from multiple cameras and performs a summarizing process to generate summary information of the videos. The display control unit causes a display system to display the videos and also displays the summary information when there is a change in the display state of the videos that meets a predetermined condition.

  • The apparatus can process videos from multiple cameras and generate summarized information.
  • It can display both the videos and the summary information on a display system.
  • The display of summary information is triggered by a change in the display state of the videos.

Potential Applications

  • Surveillance systems: The apparatus can be used in security systems to summarize and display videos from multiple cameras, making it easier for operators to monitor the footage.
  • Video analytics: The summarized information can be used for further analysis and decision-making in various fields such as traffic management, crowd control, and retail analytics.

Problems Solved

  • Information overload: The apparatus helps to address the problem of overwhelming amounts of video data by summarizing it into key information.
  • Efficient monitoring: By displaying summary information alongside the videos, it enables quick and effective monitoring of multiple camera feeds.

Benefits

  • Time-saving: The summarizing process reduces the time required to review and analyze video footage.
  • Improved situational awareness: The display of summary information provides a concise overview of the videos, allowing users to quickly grasp the situation.
  • Enhanced decision-making: The availability of summarized information aids in making informed decisions based on the video content.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus () includes a summarizing unit () and a display control unit (). The summarizing unit () obtains a video () generated by each of a plurality of cameras (). Furthermore, the summarizing unit () performs a summarizing process on the video () and generates summary information of the video (). The display control unit () causes a display system () to display the video (). Here, the display control unit () causes the display system () to display the summary information of the video () in response to that a change in a display state of the video () in the display system () satisfies a predetermined condition.
