MONITORING SYSTEM, MONITORING METHOD, AND MONITORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522328 titled 'MONITORING SYSTEM, MONITORING METHOD, AND MONITORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a monitoring system that detects abnormalities behind a shielding object using video acquisition, detection, and notification.

  • Video acquirer acquires video footage.
  • Detector identifies when a target object enters a blind spot created by a shielding object in the video.
  • Notifier sends a notification if the target object does not reappear from the blind spot after a set time.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in security systems to detect hidden objects or individuals behind barriers.

Problems Solved

This system addresses the challenge of monitoring obscured areas where potential threats may be present.

Benefits

The monitoring system provides enhanced security by detecting abnormalities that may be hidden from view.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Security Monitoring System for Shielded Areas" could be used in high-security facilities, border control, or sensitive locations.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be motion detection systems used in surveillance cameras to detect movement in specific areas.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between different types of objects entering the blind spot?

The system may use algorithms to distinguish between various objects based on size, shape, or movement patterns.

What is the range of the detection system and how does it handle false alarms?

The range of detection may vary based on the camera's field of view and the sensitivity of the detection algorithms. False alarms could be minimized through advanced filtering techniques.


Original Abstract Submitted

An abnormality behind a shielding object is discovered. There is provided a monitoring system including a video acquirer, a detector, and a notifier. The video acquirer of the monitoring system acquires a video. The detector of the monitoring system detects entering of a target object into a blind spot generated by a shielding object in the video and appearance of the target object from the blind spot. If the target object does not appear from the blind spot even after a first time elapses since entering of the target object into the blind spot, the notifier of the monitoring system makes a notification.
