INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096158 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing system that includes gate apparatuses placed at lanes through which a target person can pass, a thermal camera that captures an image of the target person to generate body temperature information, and an information processing apparatus that obtains the body temperature information from the thermal camera.

  • The system includes gate apparatuses placed at lanes for people to pass through.
  • A thermal camera captures images of individuals passing through the lanes to generate body temperature information.
  • An information processing apparatus collects the body temperature information from the thermal camera.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various settings such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and other public places to quickly screen individuals for elevated body temperatures.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in quickly identifying individuals with elevated body temperatures, which can be an indicator of potential illness or infection, allowing for timely intervention and prevention of the spread of diseases.

Benefits

The system provides a non-invasive and efficient way to screen individuals for elevated body temperatures, helping to maintain public health and safety in crowded places.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include selling the system to airports, train stations, hospitals, and other public venues where large numbers of people gather, to enhance safety and security measures.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be thermal imaging systems used in medical settings to monitor body temperature, but the specific application of this technology in public places for screening purposes may be a novel innovation.

Unanswered Questions

== How does the system handle privacy concerns related to capturing body temperature information of individuals passing through the lanes? The article does not address the specific privacy measures or protocols in place to protect the body temperature information collected from individuals passing through the lanes.

== What is the accuracy rate of the thermal camera in capturing body temperature information? The article does not provide information on the accuracy rate of the thermal camera in generating body temperature information from the images captured.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing system (sys) includes: a plurality of gate apparatuses () that are respectively placed at a plurality of lanes (l) through each of which a target person (p) can pass; a thermal camera () that is configured to generate a body temperature information (img_t) indicating a body temperature of the target person by capturing an image of the target person included in an imaging range (trg) thereof, the imaging range including at least a part of each of the plurality of lanes; and an information processing apparatus () that obtains the body temperature information from the thermal camera.
