INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096505 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can identify potential contacts of an infected person based on infection information and history information generated from target person images.
- The obtaining unit collects infection information related to an infected person with an infection disease.
- The identifying unit identifies potential contact persons based on the infection information and history information generated from target person images.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in contact tracing efforts during disease outbreaks to quickly identify and notify individuals who may have been exposed to an infected person.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in efficiently identifying and notifying potential contacts of an infected person, which can aid in controlling the spread of infectious diseases.
Benefits
- Rapid identification of potential contacts - Early notification for testing and quarantine measures
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in developing contact tracing apps for public health agencies or private companies to use during disease outbreaks.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing contact tracing methods used during previous disease outbreaks, which may involve manual identification of potential contacts based on interviews and investigation.
Unanswered Questions
How accurate is the identification of potential contacts using this technology?
The accuracy of identifying potential contacts based on infection information and history information generated from target person images is crucial for the effectiveness of this technology.
What measures are in place to protect the privacy of individuals identified as potential contacts?
Ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of individuals identified as potential contacts is important to gain public trust and cooperation in using this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing apparatus () includes: an obtaining unit () that obtains an infection information relating to an infected person that catches an infection disease; and an identifying unit () that identifies, as a contact person that possibly contacts the infected person, at least one target person staying in a stay area in which the infected person stays in at least a part of a time period during which the infected person stays in the stay area from a plurality of target persons based on the infection information and a history information () that is generated based on a plurality of target person images (img) that indicate the plurality of target persons, respectively.
