MONITORING DEVICE, 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 20240135713 titled 'MONITORING DEVICE, MONITORING SYSTEM, MONITORING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a monitoring device that can detect and ascertain abnormal situations by analyzing prescribed speech spoken by a person in a monitoring target area, identifying the person speaking the speech, analyzing their expression or action through camera images, and evaluating the abnormal situation based on the analysis results.
- Voice acquisition unit: Acquires prescribed speech spoken during abnormal situations.
- Person identification unit: Identifies the person speaking based on speech features.
- Analysis unit: Searches for the identified person in camera images and analyzes their expression or action.
- Abnormal situation evaluation unit: Evaluates abnormal situations based on the analysis results.
