The attention recognition device is used to monitor the operator's concentration in real time when operating the boarding bridge, and the operator corresponding to the boarding bridge can remotely operate the boarding bridge through the boarding bridge remote control platform. The first start signal can be understood as a signal to start the movement of the boarding bridge.

[0038] The boarding bridge control system provided in the second embodiment of the present utility model can effectively improve the safety and response speed of the system and further enhance the reliability of the system by alarming the operator through the warning device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the boarding bridge remote control platform is further used to output the second start signal to the signal conversion device; the industrial computer is further used to output a third start signal to the monitoring device.

[0040] Specifically, the boarding bridge remote control platform outputs a first start signal to the boarding bridge, and while starting the boarding bridge, it outputs a second start signal to the signal conversion device. After receiving the second start signal, the signal conversion device converts the second start signal into a conversion start signal that can be received by the industrial computer, and outputs it to the industrial computer to start the operation of the industrial computer. Then the industrial computer will output a third start signal to the monitoring device to start the operation of the monitoring device. Through the transmission and conversion of the start signal, the boarding bridge and its related equipment are started safely, efficiently and orderly, and the overall operation efficiency and reliability of the system are improved.

[0041] In some embodiments, the monitoring device includes an artificial intelligence camera.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to provide more accurate image capture and scene adaptation capabilities, the monitoring device adopts an artificial intelligence camera.

[0043] In some embodiments, the warning device includes a vibrator and / or a warning light.

[0050] Specifically, an artificial intelligence model for identifying whether the operator's attention corresponding to the boarding bridge is abnormal is configured in the industrial computer. The monitoring device obtains the collected data and outputs the collected data to the artificial intelligence model of the industrial computer. The artificial intelligence model will identify the features of the collected data, such as the number of eye blinks, the number of yawns, and the direction of the face, and judge whether the operator's attention is abnormal based on the identified features.

[0051] Optionally, the industrial computer can also be used to store collected data. After the real-time monitoring is completed, the collected data is automatically labeled using artificial intelligence models and automated labeling tools to generate a real-time training set. Then, the models to be trained of different sizes are determined through preset parameters and artificial intelligence models. The target training model is determined in order of size from small to large, and the target training model is trained and verified using the real-time training set. If the verification result does not meet the preset requirements, a model to be trained of another size is used as the target training model for training. If the preset requirements are met, the trained model is compared with the artificial intelligence model. If the verification result is better than the result of the artificial intelligence model, the artificial intelligence model is replaced. Otherwise, the original artificial intelligence model is kept and only the data set is filled.

Figure 4As shown, it includes a boarding bridge remote control platform, a signal conversion device, an industrial computer, an artificial intelligence (AI) camera, a vibrator and a warning light. When the boarding bridge remote control platform starts running, the signal conversion device triggers the industrial computer to run, and the industrial computer triggers the operation of the AI ​​camera. The AI ​​camera obtains the operator's collection data and inputs it into the industrial computer. The industrial computer begins to recognize the number of eye blinks, the number of mouth yawns, and the face orientation, and uses this to judge the operator's concentration. Among them, the industrial computer refreshes the count every 20 seconds. If it is determined that the attention is abnormal, the vibrator and the warning light are started, and a signal to stop the boarding bridge movement is sent to the remote control platform through the signal conversion module. The operator can set whether to stop the boarding bridge movement directly when receiving the signal to stop the boarding bridge movement. During the operation, this system will automatically store the collected data, and after the real-time monitoring operation is completed, the collected data will be automatically labeled to generate a real-time training set to train the artificial intelligence model online to further improve the accuracy of operator attention recognition.
