  • Patent number: 10728460
    Abstract: In a monitoring system, the management device extracts a security guard from an image generated by capturing by a camera whose direction has been controlled; performs comparison between the security guard and at least one moving object other than the security guard in the image; determines a moving object to be a tracking target when a result of the comparison between the security guard and the moving object satisfies a predetermined condition; and performs tracking control comprising controlling a photographing range of the camera in such a way that the tracking target is kept captured by the camera.

  • Patent number: 9450965
    Abstract: When a pre-determined time period has elapsed after a user access is last detected, a mobile device performs protection processing on account-related information. The mobile device includes an access detection unit that detects that a user accesses the mobile device, and a time period determination unit that determines whether or not a pre-determined time period has elapsed from a last user access time point at which the user last accessed the mobile device. The mobile device further includes a storage location acquisition unit that acquires a location in the data storage unit in which the account-related information is stored, and a protection unit that performs the protection processing on the account-related information based on the storage location of the account-related information acquired by the storage location acquisition unit, when the time period determination unit determines that a pre-determined time period has elapsed from the last user access time point.
