MONITORING APPARATUS, MONITORING SYSTEM, MONITORING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274198 titled 'MONITORING APPARATUS, MONITORING SYSTEM, MONITORING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a new technique for learning the severity of an abnormal situation by analyzing the state of a crowd around the occurrence position of the abnormal situation.
- Position acquisition unit acquires the occurrence position of the abnormal situation in a monitoring target area.
- Analysis unit analyzes the state of a crowd around the occurrence position based on video data from a camera.
- Severity estimation unit estimates the severity of the abnormal situation based on the analysis result.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as security, public safety, and disaster response to quickly assess the severity of abnormal situations and allocate resources accordingly.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately determining the severity of an abnormal situation in real-time, which can help improve response times and decision-making in emergency situations.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved situational awareness, faster response times, and more efficient resource allocation in emergency situations.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Real-time Severity Estimation Technology for Emergency Response" - This technology can be marketed to emergency response agencies, security companies, and public safety organizations to enhance their capabilities in handling abnormal situations.
Unanswered Questions
