Abstract: A moving body tracking system includes: a selecting unit (138) that select a target camera from a plurality of cameras disposed in a monitored area; a moving body detecting device (120) that extracts features of a moving body detected in an image captured by the target camera; a comparing unit (139) that compares the extracted features with the features of a tracking target moving body, to identify the tracking target moving body; a tracking managing unit (140) that tracks the movement of the tracking target moving body in the monitored area based on the position of the target camera and the time at which the image including the moving body was captured; and an elevator information acquiring unit (137) that acquires elevator operation information indicating an operation status of an elevator from an elevator system.

Abstract: Provided are a request processing unit to send a first process distribution request to other information processing apparatuses via a communication I/F unit, the first process distribution request being a request for ordering execution of a first process on a first; and an order destination selecting unit to receive, via the communication I/F unit, as a response to the first process distribution request, a first estimated reply time calculated as the time required to receive the transfer of the first data and to reply a first process result obtained by executing the first process on the first data, to use the first estimated reply time to select an order destination to which the execution of the first process is to be ordered by the plurality of information processing apparatuses, and to order the execution of the first process on the first data to the order destination via the communication interface unit.

Abstract: An elevator controller includes a microphone that receives voice of a passenger in a car, a memory that, for a destination floor specifying operation for the passenger to specify a destination floor by voice, stores a first keyword defined beforehand to signify an operation start and second keywords defined beforehand to signify a destination floor, a voice recognition unit that compares a voice inputted from the microphone with the stored first and second keywords, and a controller that, when the door of the car is fully open or fully close, the voice recognition unit recognizes the first keyword and thereafter recognizes a second keyword, registers a destination floor corresponding to the second keyword. The controller outputs a command to suspend an operation to open or close the door of the car until the destination floor specifying operation is ended after the voice recognition unit recognizes the first keyword.
