ROAD SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, ROAD SURVEILLANCE METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105053 titled 'ROAD SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, ROAD SURVEILLANCE METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The road surveillance system described in the patent application includes a detection unit and a processing unit. The detection unit identifies the state of an object on the road by analyzing captured images, while the processing unit handles notifications and changes related to the detected road state based on specific criteria.

  • Detection unit: Identifies road state by processing captured images.
  • Processing unit: Handles notifications and changes based on specified criteria.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in traffic management systems, smart city initiatives, and road safety programs.

Problems Solved

1. Improved efficiency in road surveillance. 2. Timely notifications and updates regarding road conditions.

Benefits

1. Enhanced road safety. 2. Streamlined traffic management. 3. Real-time monitoring of road conditions.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Road Surveillance System for Smart Cities" can be used in traffic control centers, transportation departments, and smart city infrastructure projects.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents related to road surveillance systems, image processing for road monitoring, and notification systems for road conditions.

Unanswered Questions

The patent application does not provide details on how privacy concerns are addressed in the road surveillance system.

What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this system on different types of roads and environments?

The patent application does not specify the technical requirements for deploying the road surveillance system on various road types and environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

to improve efficiency of road surveillance, a road surveillance system includes a detection unit and a processing unit the detection unit detects a road state being a state of an object on a road by processing an image in which the road is captured. the processing unit performs, when the road state satisfies a first criterion, any of notification processing of making a notification of the road state that satisfies the first criterion according to notification setting related to the notification, and change-related processing related to a change in the notification setting, based on whether a second criterion is satisfied. the second criterion is a criterion related to a determination result of whether the road state satisfies the first criterion.
