Publication number: 20230142101Abstract: Provided is a lifelog providing system for providing a user with a lifelog of a child that enables the user to systematically recognize a level of growth of the child. The system is configured to detect a specific event related to a level of growth of the child in images captured by a camera, by using image recognition; extract a scene image including the detected specific event, from the images captured by the camera; and generate, as a lifelog, a growth map in which a thumbnail of the scene image is overlaid on a reference map image including a timeline of child growth and an indicator showing a normal pace of growth for each specific event, such that the thumbnail of the scene image is located at a point in the reference map image corresponding to date and time of the detection of the specific event.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Sonoko HIRASAWA, Takeshi FUJIMATSU

Publication number: 20230134665Abstract: Provided is a system that enables inexpensive and accurate identification of the seating position of each user in a free address office without incurring additional equipment costs. The system identifies a user who has entered an office by performing a face verification operation which involves comparing a face image of an entering person who is entering the office acquired from an image captured by a first entrance camera, with the face image of each registered user for matching, and identifies the seating position of the user in the office by performing a person verification operation which involves comparing a first person image acquired from an image captured by a second entrance camera, with a second person image acquired from an image captured by an in-area camera to thereby associate a person who has entered the office with a corresponding person who is seated in the office.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Sonoko HIRASAWA, Takeshi FUJIMATSU
