  • Publication number: 20210065539
    Abstract: In a travel status recording apparatus, a data acquisition unit acquires first travel status data and second travel status data indicating a travel status in relation to a vehicle. An event detection unit detects a predetermined event that occurs in relation to the vehicle based on the first travel status data acquired. In response to the predetermined event being detected, a data analysis unit analyzes the second travel status data using artificial intelligence. A recording control unit records, in a storage unit, an analysis result of the second travel status data in association with event detection information in relation to the predetermined event.

  • Publication number: 20210067742
    Abstract: A travel status recording apparatus records an image captured by a camera mounted on a vehicle, identifies personal information included in the captured image, and masks the personal information in the captured image. A server acquires a masked image corresponding to the captured image in which the personal information is masked from the travel status recording apparatus. The server determines, in response to a request from a third party, whether to restore the personal information included in the acquired masked image based on a preset restoration level. In a case where the server determines to restore the personal information, the server restores the personal information. In a case where the server determines not to restore the personal information, the server conceals the personal information.

  • Publication number: 20200271462
    Abstract: A surveillance apparatus (2000) includes a first calculation unit (2020), an extraction unit (2040), and a notification unit (2060). The first calculation unit (2020) calculates a risk index value in a first region (40) on a current route (20). The risk index value of the first region (40) indicates a degree of concern that a risk (such as crowd confusion) caused by congestion of people occurs in the first region (40). For calculation of the risk index value in the first region (40), a captured image generated by a camera (50) is used. The extraction unit (2040) extracts a bypass route (30) when the risk index value of the first region (40) is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. The notification unit (2060) notifies a user that a route through which a person is caused to pass is to be switched to the extracted bypass route (30).
