  • Patent number: 11954908
    Abstract: The communication support device includes a position acquisition unit, an imaging unit, a storage, a category ranking setting unit, a counterpart detector, and a notification unit. The position acquisition unit acquires position information indicating a position of a user. The imaging unit captures an image of a surrounding environment of the user to acquire a captured image. The storage stores the counterpart database. In the counterpart database, an image of a counterpart and a category indicating a property of the counterpart are associated with the counterpart. The category ranking setting unit sets a priority to the category according to the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit. The counterpart detector detects a counterpart belonging to the category in the captured image in order of the priority set by the category ranking setting unit. The notification unit notifies the user of information regarding the counterpart detected by the counterpart detector.

  • Publication number: 20240029473
    Abstract: An accessibility determination device may include an imaging device that captures images of a surrounding environment of a user at time intervals to acquire a plurality of captured images; a facial organ detector that analyzes the captured images to detect a facial organ of a person that makes a notification to the user when the accessibility determined by processor satisfies a predetermined criterion and the target detector detects that the person is the predetermined target person. The processor may change the accessibility or the predetermined criterion depending on a distance between the imaging device and the person.

  • Patent number: 11681496
    Abstract: A communication support device comprises an imaging unit, a counterpart detector, a distance measuring unit, a expression determination unit, a motion determination unit, and a voice output unit. The imaging unit captures an image of a surrounding environment of a user. The counterpart detector detects a predetermined counterpart in the captured image. The distance measuring unit measures a distance between the counterpart and the imaging unit based on the captured image. The expression determination unit determines a facial expression of the counterpart based on the captured image. The motion determination unit determines a motion of the counterpart based on the captured image. The voice output unit notifies the user of identification information for identifying the counterpart by a voice when the distance measured by the distance measuring unit is an interaction distance of a first threshold or less.

  • Patent number: 11443558
    Abstract: Provided is a motion recognition apparatus capable of individually recognizing motions performed using each body part. A motion recognition apparatus (10) includes: an acquisition unit (11) configured to acquire time series information regarding motions of an operator; a motion recognition unit (12) configured to recognize, on the basis of motion information that defines individual motions and the time series information, a motion of the operator corresponding to any one of the individual motions for each body part of the operator and generate a motion recognition result including a start time and an end time of the one of the individual motions corresponding to the recognized motion of the operator for each body part of the operator; and a display unit (13) configured to display the motion recognition result of each body part in a chronologically aligned manner on the basis of the generated motion recognition result.

  • Publication number: 20220036566
    Abstract: The communication support device comprises an imaging unit, a counterpart detector, a priority level setting unit, a priority determination unit, and a notification unit. The imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding environment of a user to acquire a captured image. The counterpart detector detects a plurality of predetermined counterparts in the captured image. The a priority level setting unit sets priority levels respectively for the plurality of counterparts based on a predetermined relationship between the user and each of the plurality of counterparts. The priority determination unit determines priorities of the plurality of counterparts based on the priority levels. The notification unit selects information regarding the plurality of counterparts based on the priorities and notifies the user of the selected information.
