Abstract: A multiple dwelling house interphone system includes a collective entrance machine, a dwelling room master device, and a management master device. The collective entrance machine is for calling a visit destination by a visitor. The dwelling room master device is for responding to the call by a dweller. The management master device is for speaking with the dweller by a manager. The management master device includes a speech permissibility storage section and a speech control section. The speech permissibility storage section registers a permissibility of calling and speaking to the dwelling room master device for each dwelling unit. The speech control section controls the calling and speaking. The speech control section does not perform the calling control when a calling operation by the management master device is performed towards the dwelling room master device of a dwelling unit registered as “unpermitted” in the speech permissibility storage section.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein involve an attribute of an inflow source that is assigned to each trajectory in the camera view, which is used for crowd analysis. The inflow source is estimated using techniques of tracking across cameras. If the inflow source is different even if the flow trajectories are the same direction, the trajectories are visualized in different styles. By using the attribute of the inflow source, it is possible to detect changes and anomalies in the crowd that were difficult to detect using the prior art.
