Benefits of technology

[0010]It is another object of the aspect related to the present invention to provide signal control apparatus, traffic signal, and program that are capable of appropriately changing a display state of a signal display unit even if a control signal for changing the display state of the signal display unit cannot be received.
[0013]According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to acquire the information regarding a vehicle and the like within an image photographed near a signal.
[0014]In addition, according to another aspect of the present invention, it is possible to appropriately change a display state of a signal display unit even if a control signal for changing the display state of the signal display unit cannot be received.

Problems solved by technology

However, the television camera apparatus for traffic monitoring disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-261990 displays a photographed image on a monitor, and a person needs to view and confirm the photographed image in order to acquire the information regarding a vehicle within the photographed image, for example When a person extracts the information regarding a vehicle and the like within the photographed image on the basis of an image photographed in a traffic signal, there has been a problem in that a large amount of time and effort are required.
Moreover, in the traffic signal disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 10-97696, there is a problem in that the display state of the signal display unit cannot be appropriately changed when a control signal cannot be received from the high-order control apparatus at the time of disaster, for example.

first embodiment

[0030]A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an information control system related to the first embodiment.

[0031]As shown in FIG. 1, an information control system 100 includes a plurality of signal information control apparatus 2_1, 2_2, . . . , 2_n mounted in a plurality of signals (traffic signals)1_1, 12, . . . , 1n and a signal information control server 3. The plurality of signal information control apparatus 2_1, 22, . . . , 2_n and the signal information control server 3 are communicably connected to each other through a network NW.

[0032]In addition, the plurality of signal information control apparatus 2_1, 22, . . . , 2_n and the signal information control server 3 can communicate with a plurality of mobile communication devices 5_1, . . . , 5_m, which is mounted in a plurality of vehicles 4_1, . . . , 4_m, through the network NW. In addition, although a communication device w...

second embodiment

[0159]Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of a signal system 201 in the second embodiment of the present invention. In the signal system 201, a signal control apparatus 1100 provided in each of a plurality of signals and a high-order control apparatus 1200 are connected to each other through a communication network 1300. Hereinafter, explanation will be given referring to the signal control apparatus 1100 as a signal 1100.

[0160]Here, the explanation will be given assuming that the plurality of signals 1100 are placed on the road and each of them is identified by the identification information. The high-order control apparatus 1200 transmits a control signal, which is for controlling each signal 1100, to the signal 1100 through the communication network 1300. As a result, the high-order control apparatus 1200 can control each of the plurality of signal...
