  • Patent number: 11900701
    Abstract: A left object detection device for detecting an object left behind in a monitoring target area includes an acquisition section which acquires an image of the area from an image pickup device for picking up an image of the monitoring target area, a processing section, and an output section which outputs in accordance with a result of the processing section. Upon detection of the object which has been kept static for a given time period as an article from the image acquired by the acquisition section, the processing section starts a timer for counting time from detection of the article, determines whether or not a person who owned the article matches a person in the image acquired by the acquisition section, stops the timer upon determination that they match, and does not stop the timer upon determination that they do not match. The processing section determines whether or not the timer counts in excess of a predetermined time period.

  • Publication number: 20190228358
    Abstract: A schedule proposal system includes a data server for storing information collected at a plurality of stations and related to passengers and a computing server storing a program for predicting the numbers of passengers who wait for trains and a program for determining an increase or reduction in the number of trains to be operated. The computing server executes, at predetermined time intervals, the program for predicting the numbers of passengers who wait for trains and the program for determining an increase or reduction in the number of trains to be operated. The program for predicting the numbers of passengers who wait for trains predicts, based on the information related to passengers, the numbers of passengers who wait for trains at the plurality of stations in a predetermined time zone.
