  • Patent number: 11594060
    Abstract: An animal information management system includes an identification information obtaining unit which obtains identification information of an animal included in a first image, based on the first image captured by an imaging device during patrol imaging of a predetermined region in a first zoom setting in which only part of the predetermined region is an imaging target, the animal being included in animals present in the predetermined region; and a control unit which causes the imaging device to capture a second image including the animal in a second zoom setting having a zooming magnification lower than that of the first zoom setting when the identification information is obtained.

  • Patent number: 11194334
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile device includes a communicator, a map information storage, a mover, a path generator, and a moving controller. The communicator receives first mark information stored in a mark information storage from a mark management server device. The map information storage stores map information concerning a delivery area. The mover moves the autonomous mobile device. The path generator sets a first object to which a first mark is attached as a first delivery destination, and generates a path from a moving start position of the autonomous mobile device to the first delivery destination based on the first mark information and the map information. The moving controller controls the mover to move the autonomous mobile device to the first delivery destination based on the path.

  • Patent number: 10956722
    Abstract: A moving information analyzing system includes a camera, and a server that is connected to the camera. The camera captures an image of an object region, extracts moving information regarding a staying position or a passing position of a moving object included in a captured image of the object region, outputs a count line for counting the number of moving objects and a count result of the number of moving objects having passed the count line, related to the moving information, and transmits the captured image and the moving information to the server in a predetermined transmission cycle. The server acquires the captured image and the moving information, generates a moving information analysis image in which the moving information is superimposed on the captured image and to which the count line and the count result are added, and displays the moving information analysis image on a monitor.

  • Publication number: 20170193309
    Abstract: A camera captures an image of an object region, extracts moving information regarding a staying position or a passing position of each moving object, stores the extracted moving information of each moving object, and transmits a captured image of the object region and the moving information of each moving object to a server in a predetermined transmission cycle. The server acquires moving information of at least one moving object satisfying a selection condition regarding a specific behavior on the basis of the moving information of each moving object, generates a moving information analysis image in which the moving information of at least one moving object satisfying the selection condition regarding the specific behavior is superimposed on the captured image, and displays the moving information analysis image on a monitor.
