  • Patent number: 11966836
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a detection system includes an acquirer, a trainer, and a detector. The acquirer acquires first data, second data, and third data. The first data is based on an action of a first body part in a first work of a first worker having a first proficiency. The second data is based on an action of the first body part in the first work of a second worker having a second proficiency. The third data is based on an action of the first body part in the first work of a third worker. The trainer trains a recurrent neural network including a first output layer using the first data and the second data. The detector inputs the third data to the trained recurrent neural network and detects a response of the first neuron or the second neuron.

  • Patent number: 11676362
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a training system includes a first generator, a second generator, a third generator, and a trainer. The first generator uses a human body model to generate a first image. The human body model models a human body and is three-dimensional and virtual. The second generator generates a teacher image by annotating body parts of the human body model in the first image. The third generator generates a second image including noise by performing, on the first image, at least one selected from first processing, second processing, third processing, fourth processing, or fifth processing. The trainer uses the second image and the teacher image to train a first model.

  • Patent number: 11579276
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information collection system comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor. The transmitter emits a signal. The receiver receives the signal. The processor calculates a distance between the transmitter and the receiver from a strength of the signal received by the receiver. The processor calculating the distance between the transmitter and the receiver from the strength of the signal for each of the signals received during a first interval, and using an average distance as the distance between the transmitter and the receiver, the average distance being obtained by averaging the plurality of calculated distances.

  • Patent number: 11373289
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an analysis apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a processor. The acquisition unit acquires first information with a first time length between a first time and a second time. The first information is based on motion of an object person. The processor extracts multiple similarity points from the first information. The multiple similarity points are similar to each other in the first information. The processor calculates a time interval between the similarity points.

  • Publication number: 20220180149
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a training device trains a first model. The first model estimates a period of a task from time-series data of an operation of a human. The device acquires first time-series data to which a label of the task is assigned. The device extracts a pattern from a period indicated by the label in the first time-series data. The pattern is used as a feature. The device generates timing data of an appearance timing of the pattern in the first time-series data. The device trains the first model by using the label, the first time-series data, and the timing data.
