  • Publication number: 20230252652
    Abstract: A human body detection device detects a human body from a captured image; determines, based on the image, whether the human body detected is a moving body; determines whether the human body detected satisfies a predetermined condition shown by a human body framed in the image; maintains a first mode until the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied; switches from the first mode to a second mode in response to determination that the predetermined condition is satisfied; outputs information on a human body when the human body detected is determined to be a moving body in the first mode; and outputs information on the human body regardless of whether the human body detected is determined to be a moving body in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11275780
    Abstract: An image search device receives an image search request and selects, from a plurality of images, a first group of images that match search conditions based on the search request. The image search device further selects, from the first group of images, a second group of images based on a score calculated by a predetermined evaluation formula, and outputs information about the second group of images as a search result. The predetermined evaluation criteria may be set so as to increase the score for an image in the first group of images based on positive engagement by many people on the predetermined internet service and based on the extent that the image is less similar to other images in the first group of images.
