IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18265369 titled 'IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The image display apparatus described in the patent application is designed to acquire image data from a camera, identify a person from the image data, estimate the possibility of the person having developed an infectious disease, and detect an image of interest that includes a person of interest and a nearby person. It then extracts a series of images including the image of interest and displays them.

  • The apparatus acquires image data from a camera.
  • It identifies a person from the image data.
  • It estimates the possibility of the identified person having developed an infectious disease.
  • It detects an image of interest that includes a person of interest and a nearby person based on the estimation result.
  • It extracts a series of images including the image of interest.
  • It displays the extracted series of images.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Healthcare: The apparatus can be used in healthcare settings to identify individuals who may have developed infectious diseases and track their interactions with others.
  • Surveillance: It can be utilized in surveillance systems to identify potential disease carriers and monitor their movements.
  • Contact tracing: The technology can aid in contact tracing efforts by identifying individuals who have been in close proximity to a person of interest with a possible infectious disease.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Early detection: By estimating the possibility of a person having developed an infectious disease, the apparatus can help in early detection and prevention of the spread of diseases.
  • Efficient monitoring: The system can efficiently monitor a large number of individuals and identify potential disease carriers without manual intervention.
  • Targeted intervention: By detecting images of interest that include both a person of interest and a nearby person, the technology can help focus intervention efforts on individuals who are at higher risk of infection.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved public health: The technology can contribute to better public health outcomes by identifying and tracking potential disease carriers.
  • Enhanced surveillance: It enables more effective surveillance systems by automating the identification of individuals of interest.
  • Time and cost savings: The automated extraction and display of relevant image series reduce the need for manual review and analysis, saving time and resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image display apparatus comprises at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to acquire a plurality of pieces of image data from a camera, identify a person from the image data, estimate a possibility of the person identified from the image data having developed an infectious disease, detect an image of interest including a person of interest regarding which there is the possibility of the person of interest having developed an infectious disease and a nearby person present in the vicinity of the person of interest based on a result of the estimation, extract a series of images including the image of interest, and display the extracted series of images.
