  • Publication number: 20210288833
    Abstract: An information notification system includes apparatuses and first server. The apparatuses include a first device. Each of at least one of the apparatuses includes a sensor unit that senses whether any person is present and generates a presence-absence signal including person presence-absence information. A first device includes a generator that generates a notification signal including notification information that is to be provided to the user. A first server includes an information acquirer that acquires the person presence-absence information, and a presentation controller that determines a presumed position and causes a second device to present the notification information, and the second device being one of one or more apparatuses that are capable of presenting the notification information to the person who is in the presumed position among the apparatuses. A presentation controller changes a form of presentation in accordance with presentation setting information that is information about the person.

  • Publication number: 20210158682
    Abstract: An information notification system includes apparatuses and a first server. The apparatuses include a first device. Each of at least one of the apparatuses includes a sensor unit that discriminates between at least one person and generates a presence-absence signal including presence-absence information about each person. A first device includes a generator that generates a notification signal including notification information that is to be provided to the user and user information for use in identifying the user. A first server includes an information acquirer that acquires the user information, the notification information, and the presence-absence information, and a presentation controller that determines a presumed position of the user presumed based on the user information and the presence-absence information and causes one of apparatuses that are capable of presenting the notification information to the user who is in the presumed position among the apparatuses to present the notification information.

  • Patent number: 8547448
    Abstract: An image processing device for displaying a planar map which can be easily viewed by a user without increasing the amount of processing. A planar map generating device (103) is provided with: an image acquisition section (301) for acquiring images wherein objects are imaged and the three-dimensional coordinates of the objects can be calculated; a coordinate acquisition section (302) for extracting the upper surface of a first object existing on a reference surface from the images to acquire the coordinates of the feature point of the extracted upper surface; and a first planar map generating section (303) for generating a first planar map by adjusting the size and position of the upper surface so that the values of the coordinates equivalent to the direction perpendicular to the reference surface become the same as those of the reference surface by using the acquired coordinates.
