  • Publication number: 20230003585
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: an information receiver configured to receive imaging data output from an imaging device; and a processing unit configured to generate a color image based on the received imaging data and control a display device to display the generated color image. The processing unit generates a detection frame constituted as plural regions based on the imaging data, controls the display device to display the generated detection frame as being superimposed on the color image, and displays a temperature for each of the plural regions.

  • Patent number: 11513007
    Abstract: A notification control device for controlling notification based on subject information is disclosed. The subject information including temperature image data, which indicates temperature of a subject captured within a predetermined capturing range, is received. A predetermined destination of notification information, which represents a state of the subject based on the subject information, is notified. A process of notifying the notification information to the predetermined destination is stopped depending on whether or not the subject information includes predetermined identification information.

  • Publication number: 20210287518
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to acquire image data related to a user who uses a piece of equipment and indicating a state of the user. The circuitry stores, in a memory, setting information in which an item of time zone including one or more time zones for which the image data is captured, an item of determination result including one or more determination results in each of the one or more time zones, and an item of notification details being set according to one of the one or more time zones and one of the one or more determination results, are associated with each other. The circuitry determines whether to transmit a notification indicating the state of the user based on the image data and the setting information and, when determining to transmit the notification, determines the notification details based on the image data and the setting information.
