==TRACKING SUPPORT APPARATUS, TERMINAL, TRACKING SUPPORT SYSTEM, TRACKING SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243893 titled 'TRACKING SUPPORT APPARATUS, TERMINAL, TRACKING SUPPORT SYSTEM, TRACKING SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a tracking support system that uses multiple cameras to calculate the position of a tracking target. It also includes a tracker selecting section that chooses a tracker to track the target based on position information received from a terminal. The system further includes an information transmitting section that sends distance information between the target and the terminal to the selected tracker.

* The system uses multiple cameras to capture video images of a monitoring area.
* The position calculating section analyzes the video images to determine the position of the tracking target.
* The tracker selecting section uses the position information of the terminal and the calculated position of the target to select a tracker.
* The selected tracker is instructed to track the target.
* The information transmitting section sends distance information between the target and the terminal to the selected tracker.

== Potential Applications ==
* Surveillance systems: The tracking support system can be used in security applications to track suspicious individuals or objects within a monitored area.
* Sports analysis: The system can track athletes during training or competitions, providing valuable data for performance analysis.
* Navigation systems: The technology can be applied to track vehicles or pedestrians, aiding in navigation and providing real-time distance information.

== Problems Solved ==
* Improved tracking accuracy: By using multiple cameras and analyzing video images, the system can calculate the precise position of the tracking target.
* Efficient tracking selection: The system selects the most suitable tracker based on position information, ensuring effective tracking of the target.
* Real-time distance information: The information transmitting section provides distance updates to the tracker, allowing for better tracking and decision-making.

== Benefits ==
* Enhanced security: The system improves surveillance capabilities by accurately tracking targets within a monitoring area.
* Improved sports performance analysis: Athletes can benefit from detailed tracking data for training and performance evaluation.
* Enhanced navigation: The technology provides real-time distance information, aiding in navigation and route planning.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A tracking support system includes a position calculating section connected with a plurality of cameras arranged in a predetermined monitoring area to transmit video images imaged by the plurality of cameras and configured to calculate a position of the tracking target based on the video images received from the plurality of cameras; a tracker selecting section configured to select a tracker to be instructed to track the tracking target, based on position information of the terminal received from the terminal and the calculated position of the tracking target; and an information transmitting section configured to transmit information of a distance between the tracking target and the terminal during the tracking of the tracking target to the terminal carried by the selected tracker.
