  • Patent number: 11144776
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for enhancing operability of a mobile apparatus. An information processing apparatus (2000) includes a first processing unit (2020), a second processing unit (2040), and a control unit (2060). The first processing unit (2020) generates information indicating an event detection position in accordance with a position on a surveillance image set in a first operation. The first operation is an operation with respect to the surveillance image displayed on a display screen. The second processing unit (2040) performs a display change process with respect to the surveillance image or a window including the surveillance image. The control unit (2060) causes any one of the first processing unit (2020) and the second processing unit (2040) to process the first operation on the basis of a second operation.

  • Publication number: 20200336704
    Abstract: An abnormality behind a shielding object is discovered. There is provided a monitoring system including a video acquirer, a detector, and a notifier. The video acquirer of the monitoring system acquires a video. The detector of the monitoring system detects entering of a target object into a blind spot generated by a shielding object in the video and appearance of the target object from the blind spot. If the target object does not appear from the blind spot even after a first time elapses since entering of the target object into the blind spot, the notifier of the monitoring system makes a notification.

  • 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).
