  • Publication number: 20230154307
    Abstract: Provided is a system used in various facilities, which enables every specific event as a sign of an accident to be detected without missing to ensure transmission of an alert message at a proper time, thereby preventing accidents from occurring. The system includes cameras for capturing images of a monitoring area, and a monitoring server for controlling transmission of an alert message based on the images, wherein the monitoring server is configured to: set a sensing area around an entrance to a risky point (escalator entrance) and a notifying area closer to the risky point than the sensing area; sense a person in the sensing area and detect a specific event associated with the person based on images captured by each camera; and, when the sensed person enters the notifying area, transmits an alert message corresponding to the specific event associated with the person.

  • Patent number: 8943694
    Abstract: An accessory making device (1) of the present invention is a device for making an accessory including a core (83) formed into a substantially ring shape by connecting both ends of a stretchable cord-like body (46) having rubber-like elasticity and a decoration main body (83) disposed around the core in such a manner so as to abut both ends thereof against each other in a contracted state so as to be reduced in axial length. The accessory making device (1) includes a long rigid holder (5). The holder (5) can retain connecting portions (47M, 47F) on both end sides of the cord-like body (46) with the connecting portions (47M, 47F) of the cord-like body (46) separated from each other, and can be inserted through the decoration main body (83).
