Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing method, a program, an information processing apparatus and an information processing system for managing images. Background Art

[0002] Recently, it is easy to capture images (such as videos) using a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone or a tablet terminal). Along with this, the situation of managing the captured images is increasing. In particular, an operator who operates a management system for managing images often manages images of multiple users. As an example, as described in Patent Document 1, there is a situation where a salesman of a store registers video data stored in a user's mobile phone with a management server. As another example, there is a situation where a nurse or a caregiver manages the health status of a patient and the patient who needs the applied medical treatment and nursing care with the help of text data and motion video. As yet another example, when a user with a vehicle registered with the management system causes an accident, there is a situation where an employee of a non-life insurance company manages the images and registration information of the captured on-site conditions in association with each other.

[0003] For example, when an operator who operates a management system registers images related to a plurality of users to be managed, the operator performs the following operations: Figure 1 The operation shown in . First, the operator registers user information, which is information about each user, to the management system from an information processing device (such as a personal computer) (S101). Thereafter, the operator captures a video of each user through a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone or a tablet terminal) (S102), associates the video with the pre-registered user information, and uploads it to the management system (S103). In this case, the operator first logs in to the management system from the information processing device and registers the user information, and then logs in to the management system again from the video capture application (app) on the mobile terminal and selects the corresponding user. Thus, the video and the user are managed in association with each other.

[0006] Patent Document 1: JP 3149786 U Summary of the invention

[0007] However, the series of work for image registration performed by the operator as described above involves problems as described below. First, when the operator selects a user to be associated with a captured image, the operator is burdened with being careful to prevent the wrong user from being selected. In particular, as the number of selectable users increases, a greater burden is placed on the operator. In addition, after the operator logs in to the management system from the information processing device to register user information, the operator needs to perform a login process on the management system from each mobile terminal that captures the image to register the image. Therefore, an operational burden of entering a password multiple times may be incurred. In particular, for people who are not familiar with the information processing device, when the user interface is different because the device is different, a further burden may be imposed.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing method, a program, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing system that can solve the above-mentioned problem (ie, the problem of imposing a burden on an operator who manages images).

[0009] An information processing method as one aspect of the present invention comprises:

[0010] acquiring image information imaged in such a manner that identification information for identifying a user and a scene related to the user are associated with each other; and

[0011] An association process of associating the pre-registered identification information with the image information including a scene related to the same user as the user identified by the identification information is performed based on the image information.

[0012] Furthermore, a program as one aspect of the present invention is a program for causing an information processing device to implement the following processing:

[0013] acquiring image information imaged in such a manner that identification information for identifying a user and a scene related to the user are associated with each other, and

[0014] Based on the image information, an association process is performed in which identification information registered in advance is associated with the image information including a scene related to the same user as the user identified by the identification information.

[0015] Furthermore, as an aspect of the present invention, an information processing device includes:

[0016] an acquisition unit that acquires image information imaged in such a manner that identification information for identifying a user and a scene related to the user are associated with each other; and

[0017] The processing unit performs an association process of associating the identification information registered in advance with the image information including a scene related to the same user as the user identified by the identification information.

[0018] Furthermore, as an aspect of the present invention, an information processing system includes:

[0019] a first device that outputs identification information based on identification information registered in advance for identifying a user so as to be imageable;

[0020] a second device for imaging the identification information output as imageable and image information associated with a scene related to a user identified by the identification information; and

[0021] The third means performs, based on the image information, an association process of associating the pre-registered identification information with the image information including a scene related to the same user as the user identified by the identification information.

[0022] Since the present invention is configured as described above, the burden imposed on an operator who manages images can be reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] <First Exemplary Embodiment>

[0039] Will refer to Figures 2 to 12 A first exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described. Figure 2 and 3 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of an information processing system. Figures 4 to 8 is a diagram used to explain the operation of the information processing system. Fig. 9 and 12 are diagrams for explaining modified examples of the information processing system.

[0040] The information processing system of the present invention is used to register images, such as videos, in association with corresponding users. As an example, in this embodiment, a description will be given of a case where a patient's health condition is managed with the aid of motion video and the patient's care in the applied medical treatment and nursing care is required. That is, a description will be given of a case where an operator of the operating system captures an image (such as a video) of a care recipient (such as a patient or a person in need of care) and registers the video in association with the information of the care recipient (whose video is captured).

[0041] Specifically, Figure 2As illustrated in FIG, first, in a senior daycare provider, an operator who is a nurse or a caregiver registers information of a care recipient (such as a patient or a person in need of care) and login information of the operator to a remote assessment system. Then, the operator uses a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone) to capture a motion video of the care recipient (such as a patient or a person in need of care), and uploads the motion video to the remote assessment system. At that time, the operator logs in to the remote assessment system, and registers the motion video in association with the information of the corresponding care recipient. Thus, in the remote assessment system, an image of the corresponding care recipient is registered for each care recipient.

[0042] As described above, since the image of the corresponding care recipient is registered for each care recipient, therapists (such as doctors, physical therapists, and occupational therapists) in remote areas can access the image of the care recipient. Then, based on the accessed image, each therapist creates teaching content (such as functional training) for each care recipient and registers it to the remote assessment system. Thus, the operator in the elderly daycare provider can provide appropriate functional training according to the registered teaching content.

[0043] Hereinafter, a description will be given of an exemplary configuration of an information processing system to be used in the scenario described above. Note that the management system 10 described below corresponds to Figure 2 , and the information processing device 20 and the mobile terminal 30 correspond to devices to be used in a senior daycare provider.

[0044] like Figure 3 As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the information processing system of the present embodiment includes a management system 10, an information processing device 20, and a mobile terminal 30 connected via a network N. The management system 10 is a device for registering and managing images related to a care receiver P, and the information processing device 20 and the mobile terminal 30 are devices operated by an operator (not shown) who performs an operation for registering images. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of each device will be described in detail.

[0045] First, the information processing device 20 (first device) is an information processing device to be operated by an operator, such as a personal computer. The information processing device 20 includes an output device 21 (such as a display and a printer) and an input device 22 (such as a mouse and a keyboard). Note that the functions of the information processing device 20 described below are implemented by a program executed by an arithmetic unit of the information processing device 20.

[0046] The operator operates the information processing device 20 to access the management system 10 through the network N, inputs login information as the operator's operator information from the input device 22, and logs in to the management system ( Figure 4 and 5The operator's login information is authentication information including an operator ID and a password for authenticating the operator, and is pre-stored in the database 13 as a storage device of the management system 10, such as by Figure 6 Indicated by the reference numeral 13a in FIG.

[0047] The operator who has logged in to the management system 10 from the information processing device 20 uses the input device 22 to input the care receiver information of each care receiver P and register it to the management system ( Figure 4 and 5 Step S2). In addition to the care receiver ID as identification information for identifying the care receiver P, the care receiver information of the care receiver P also includes the name and date of birth of the care receiver P, and also includes the operator ID of the operator who registered the care receiver information. Then, as by Figure 6 As indicated by reference numeral 13b in the figure, the care receiver information is stored in the database 13 as a storage device of the management system 10. Note that although the following mainly shows the case where the care receiver ID is used as the identification information of the care receiver P as an example, any information can be used as the identification information if it is information unique to the care receiver P. For example, as the identification information of the care receiver P, the name of the care receiver P or physical information indicating physical features that can be extracted from a captured image of the care receiver, such as facial feature quantities that can be extracted from a facial image of the care receiver P, can be used. Note that the care receiver information 13b is not limited to Figure 6 The information illustrated in , and may include any information, such as a facial image of the care recipient P.

[0048] The management system 10 (third device) is configured by one or more information processing devices, each of which has an arithmetic unit and a storage unit. Figure 3 As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the management system 10 includes a code generating device 11 and an associated device 12 constituted by executing a program by an arithmetic unit. The management system 10 also includes a database 13 formed in a storage unit, and stores therein login information 13a for authenticating an operator and care receiver information 13b of each care receiver P. As described below, in the database 13, a video 50 related to the care receiver P will be stored.

[0049] Then, the code generating device 11 issues a code C ( Figure 4 and 5At this time, after receiving the code issuance request and the designation of the care receiver P from the operator via, for example, the information processing device 20, the code generating device 11 issues the code of the designated care receiver P. Specifically, the code generating device 11 generates a QR code, which is a matrix-type two-dimensional code including the care receiver ID of the care receiver P and the operator ID and the operator's password associated with the care receiver P in an encrypted manner. As an example, in Figure 6 In the case where a code of the care receiver ID "abc" is issued in the care receiver information 13b shown in FIG, the code generating device 11 generates a code C including the care receiver ID "abc" of the care receiver P, the operator ID "00001" for registering the care receiver P, and the password "******" of the operator ID "00001". Then, the code generating device 11 outputs the generated code C from the output device 21 of the information processing device 20. At this time, as Figure 7 As illustrated in FIG. 1 , code generating device 11 generates code C including code C1 itself, care receiver ID and name C2 of care receiver P, and face image C3 of care receiver P, and outputs code C from output device 21. It is assumed that face image C3 of care receiver P is included in care receiver information 13b in advance and registered.

[0050] The code C generated as described above is output by being displayed on the display, and is also output by being printed on a paper medium through the output device 21 of the information processing device 20. The operator hands the code C output by being printed to the corresponding care receiver P. For example, the operator refers to the name and facial image included in the code C, and hands the code C to the corresponding care receiver P. At this time, Figure 7 As illustrated in FIG. 1 , since the face image C3 of the care receiver P is included in the code C, the operator can hand over the code C by confirming the face image C3 of the code C and the face of the care receiver P. Therefore, the possibility of mistakenly imaging a different care receiver P later can be reduced. As described below, a video of the care receiver P is captured with the code C held by the care receiver P, which means that the code C is output in such a manner that the care receiver ID and the operator ID and the password can be imaged.

[0051] The mobile terminal 30 (second device) is configured by an information processing device such as a smartphone having an arithmetic unit and a storage unit. Figure 3 As illustrated in FIG. 1 , a mobile terminal 30 includes a reading device 31 and a video capture application 32 constituted by an arithmetic unit executing a program.

[0052] As described above, the operator hands the code C to the care receiver P, and the care receiver P performs a motion for capturing a video while holding the code C, so that the code C can be shown in the video ( Figure 4 and 5 The operator starts the video capture application 32 of the mobile terminal 30 to capture the video 50 of the care receiver P holding the code C, and stores the video 50 in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 30 ( Figure 4 and 5 Steps S5 and S6). Thus, in the present embodiment, a video 50 is captured in which a scene of the care recipient P and the code C are included in the same picture. Note that, although the case of capturing a video by the mobile terminal 30 in the present embodiment is described as an example, the image to be captured may be any image including a still image. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, although the case of showing the care recipient P in the video 50 is described as an example, it is not limited to the case of showing the care recipient P. It is also acceptable to show a scene related to the care recipient P. For example, the video 50 may be a video captured by a camera installed on a vehicle held by the care recipient P. Furthermore, in the video 50, it is not limited to the case of capturing the code C in the same picture. The video 50 and the code C may be captured as different images, and the images may be associated with each other. An example of capturing the video 50 and the code C as different images will be described later.

[0053] Then, as described above, during the capture of the video 50 including the code C by the mobile terminal 30, the reading device 31 detects the code C while capturing, and the mobile terminal 30 reads the content of the code C. That is, the reading device 31 reads the login ID and password, which are the login information of the operator and the care receiver ID of the care receiver P, from the code C (the code C1 itself) in the video 50. Then, the reading device 31 accesses the management system 10, requests to log in using the read login information, and makes an associated request by requesting to search for the read care receiver ID ( Figure 4 and 5 Step S7).

[0054] Then, in response to the association request from the mobile terminal 30, the association means 12 of the management system 10 performs a login process based on the information registered in the database 13 and searches for the care receiver ID. Figure 6As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the care receiver ID of the care receiver ID “abc” and the login information of the operator ID “00001” who registered the care receiver are sent from the mobile terminal 30 at the time of the association request. In this case, the associating device 12 checks the login information 13a and the care receiver information 13b registered in the database 13, and when the login process (i.e., the authentication process) of the operator ID “00001” is successful and the care receiver ID “abc” registered using the operator ID “00001” exists, the associating device 12 is set to associate the video 50 with the care receiver ID “abc”. Then, the associating device 12 instructs the mobile terminal 30 to upload the video 50.

[0055] Then, after completing the capture of the video 50, the video capture application 32 of the mobile terminal 30 uploads the video 50 to the management system 10 ( Figure 4 and 5 At this time, as described above, since the video 50 uploaded from the mobile terminal 30 is set to be associated with the care receiver ID "abc" by the associating device 12 of the management system 10, Figure 8 As illustrated in , therefore, the video is stored in the database 13 of the management system 10 in a state associated with the care receiver ID "abc". In this way, the video 50 is registered to the database 13 as a picture showing a scene related to the care receiver of the care receiver ID "abc", and is managed in the management system 10 so as to be accessible by authorized persons.

[0056] After the upload of the video 50 is completed, from the perspective of protecting personal data, the video capture application 32 of the mobile terminal 30 deletes the video 50 from the mobile terminal 30 ( Figure 5 Note that when the association performed by associating means 12 described above fails, that is, when the login processing and the search for the care receiver ID described above fail, mobile terminal 30 does not upload video 50 and video 50 is deleted from mobile terminal 30.

[0057] As described above, in the present embodiment, the code C including the operator's login information and the care receiver ID is issued, and the video 50 is captured while the care receiver P holds the code C. Therefore, the operator's login information and the care receiver ID can be automatically extracted from the video 50. Therefore, in the mobile terminal 30 and the management system 10, the operator's login processing can be automatically performed, and the care receiver P associated with the video 50 can be automatically specified. Therefore, the video 50 can be appropriately registered in association with the care receiver P. As a result, the burden of the operator who operates to register the video 50, that is, the burden of the login processing and the burden of the processing of associating the video 50 with the care receiver P can be reduced.

[0058] <Modifications>

[0059] Next, a description will be given of a variation of the configuration and operation of the information processing system described above. In the above description, during the capture of the video 50, the code C in the video 50 is extracted in real time, and an association request is made to the management system 10. However, an association request for the video 50 may be made after the video 50 has been captured. For example, Fig. 9 As illustrated in steps S7 and S8 , after capturing the video 50 , the mobile terminal 30 may read the code C in the video 50 through the reading device 31 , make an associated request for the video 50 to the management system 10 , and upload the video 50 .

[0060] Further, in the above description, the video 50 is captured so that the code C is shown therein. However, the video 50 and the code C may be captured as different images. Fig.10 As illustrated in , the mobile terminal 30 captures the video 50 and the code C respectively through the video capture application 32. Then, the mobile terminal 30 extracts the care receiver ID and the login information from the image capturing only the code C through the reading device 31 in the same manner as described above, and makes an association request to the management system 10. Then, the management system 10 performs the login process and specifies the care receiver P, and instructs the mobile terminal 30 to upload the video. In response, the mobile terminal 30 uploads the video 50 to the management system 10. Thus, the management system 10 can receive the video 50 associated with the care receiver ID included in the code C, and register the video 50 in association with the specified care receiver ID. For example, the management system 10 can associate the code C and the video 50 sent from the same mobile terminal 30 within a predetermined time period, or associate them with each other in a different manner.

[0061] In addition, if Fig.11 As illustrated in FIG. 1 , a one-time password for limiting the time and number of logins may be additionally registered to the login information 13a (operator ID and password) of the operator pre-registered in the database 13, and a code C including the one-time password may be generated. Thus, the management system 10 may limit the time and number of logins to the login request included in the associated request made by reading the generated code C, thereby improving security.

[0062] Further, in Fig.12In the example of , the facial information (facial feature amount) of the care receiver P is pre-registered in the care receiver information 13b in the database 13. Further, the video capture application 32 of the mobile terminal 30 captures the video 50 so as to include the facial image of the care receiver P therein. The management system 10 also includes an authentication device 14, and the authentication device 14 performs facial authentication to determine whether the facial image of the care receiver P shown in the video 50 and the facial information registered in the care receiver information 13b match. When the facial authentication is successful, the management system 10 performs associated processing of the video 50 based on the information included in the code C in the same manner as in the case described above. Note that authentication can be performed using body information representing other body features of the care receiver P without being limited to the face of the care receiver P shown in the video 50.

[0063] Note that, although the case where the operator's login information (operator ID and password) is included in the code C is shown as an example in the above description, the operator's login information is not necessarily included in the code C. This means that the code C may include only identification information such as the care receiver ID of the care receiver P. Even in this case, the associating device 12 of the management system 10 can associate the video 50 and the care receiver P with each other and register them to the database 13.

[0064] In addition, although the code C including the care receiver ID is issued in the above description, the code C may not be issued. In this case, the information of the care receiver P shown in the image (such as the video 50) is used as the identification information of the care receiver P. For example, in the care receiver information 13b in the database 13, body information representing body features (such as the face and blushing amount of the care receiver) is pre-registered as identification information. Then, the mobile terminal 30 extracts the body information (such as the facial feature amount of the care receiver P shown in the video 50) as identification information, and makes an association request to the management system 10. Thus, the management system 10 specifies the care receiver P that matches the facial feature amount of the care receiver P shown in the video 50 from the care receiver information 13b in the database 13, associates the care receiver P with the video 50, and registers them to the database 13.

[0065] <Second Exemplary Embodiment>

[0066] Will refer to Figures 13 to 15 A second exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described. Fig.13 is a flowchart illustrating the information processing method according to the present embodiment. Fig.14 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. Fig.151 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an information processing system according to the present embodiment. The present embodiment shows an overview of the configuration and operation of the information processing system described in the first exemplary embodiment.

[0067] like Fig.13 As shown in FIG. 1 , the information processing method of this embodiment includes:

[0068] Image information imaged in such a manner that identification information for identifying a user and a scene related to the user are associated with each other is obtained (step S11), and processing is performed based on the image information to associate pre-registered identification information with image information including a scene related to a user (the same user identified by the identification information) (step S12).

[0069] Then, the processing by the information processing method is executed and implemented by the information processing device by executing the program by the information processing device.

[0070] like Fig.14 As shown in FIG. , the information processing method is also implemented by the following items:

[0071] The information processing device 100 includes: an acquisition unit 101, which acquires image information imaged in a manner such that identification information for identifying a user and a scene related to the user are associated with each other; and a processing unit 102, which performs processing of associating pre-registered identification information with image information including a scene related to a user (the same user identified by the identification information) based on the image information.

[0072] In addition, if Fig.15 As shown in FIG. , the information processing method is also implemented by an information processing system, the information processing system comprising:

[0073] The first device 201 outputs identification information based on identification information pre-registered for identifying a user so as to be imageable;

[0074] The second device 202 images the identification information output as imageable and the image information associated with the scene related to the user identified by the identification information; and

[0075] The third means 203 performs a process of associating pre-registered identification information with the image information including a scene related to a user, the user being the same as the user identified by the identification information, based on the image information.

[0076] According to the present invention as described above, identification information of a user can be automatically specified from image information imaged in such a manner that identification information for identifying the user and a scene related to the user are associated with each other. Therefore, the specified user can be automatically associated with image information including a scene related to the user. Therefore, the burden of a worker who performs work of associating an image with a user can be reduced.
