  • Patent number: 10694049
    Abstract: A management system includes an electronic device, a plurality of image pickup devices, a storage unit, and a server. A first control unit in the server detects an image portion indicating a face of a person in a captured image, collates the detected image portion to face images stored in the storage unit, and specifies, as a person inside a building, a person whose face image is identical to the image portion. When an error is detected in the electronic device, a second control unit in the electronic device specifies, among persons specified by the first control unit, a person whom error handling capability information stored in the storage section indicated as capable of handling the error, obtains, among the captured images captured by the plurality of the image pickup devices, a captured image showing the specified person, and allows a display to display the obtained captured image.

  • Publication number: 20190302982
    Abstract: A display device includes a display section, an assignment section, a setting section, and a detection section. The detection section specifies a specific candidate selection range among candidate selection ranges and detects an operation to switch between setting and non-setting of selected range setting by the setting section for the specific candidate selection range. In a situation in which the detection section detects a first operation to change the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and then detects a second operation performed in a specific direction from the specific candidate selection range, the setting section changes the selected range setting for the specific candidate selection range and changes the selected range setting for a candidate selection range located in the specific direction from the specific candidate selection range to the same setting as that set for the specific candidate selection range.

  • Publication number: 20190281187
    Abstract: A login support system includes an electronic apparatus, a camera, a storage unit, and a control unit that includes a processor and acts, when the processor executes a login support control program, as a face authentication section, a gesture determination section, and a controller. The face authentication section extracts a face image of a person from a captured image captured by the camera and, when the extracted face image coincides with any of pieces of face information stored in the storing unit, authenticates the extracted face image. The gesture determination section detects a gesture of a person on a basis of the captured image and determines whether the detected gesture coincides with a prescribed gesture. When the face image of the person is authenticated and the gesture of the person is determined as coinciding with the prescribed gesture, the controller permits a login to the electronic apparatus to that person.

  • Publication number: 20190221091
    Abstract: A surveillance terminal apparatus includes a storage unit, a communication unit, a picture identifier, a reader, a facial recognition processor, a display unit, and a playback controller. The picture identifier identifies, as an entry picture and an exit picture, a part of the picture of a target person shot by an imaging device and stored in the storage unit. The facial recognition processor identifies both of the entry picture and the exit picture of the same target person, by performing facial recognition with respect to the entry picture and the exit picture read out by the reader. The playback controller changes playback times of the pictures corresponding to actual length of the pictures to the same playback time, when a difference between the playback times of the respective pictures exceeds a threshold, and causes the display unit to simultaneously play back both of the pictures side by side.
