DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or equivalent components and parts are given the same reference numerals. In addition, the dimensional ratios of the drawings are exaggerated for the convenience of explanation and may differ from the actual ratios.

[0027] An example of an information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of an information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a server device 100 connected to a network N, a user terminal 200 used by a user who watches a video and connected to the network N, an administrator terminal 300 used by an administrator and connected to the network N, a camera 400 connected to the network N, and a detection device 500 that detects movement of an object T between areas A. For example, a local 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication System), a LAN (=Local Area Network), a WAN (=Wide Area Network), the Internet, etc. are applied to this network N. Here, in the present embodiment, the server device 100 is an example of an information processing device. In addition, a plurality of user terminals 200 and cameras 400 are provided.

[0028] The user terminal 200 is a device that the user uses when watching videos of the zoo, and in this embodiment is a smartphone or tablet type terminal device owned by the user.

[0029] The administrator terminal 300 is installed in a caretaker's room or the like in the zoo, and is a device used by the administrator of the information processing system 10. The administrator terminal 300 is basically configured by a general computer. Note that the server device 100 may also function as the administrator terminal 300.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, the camera 400 is provided for each of the multiple areas A. The multiple areas A are areas A where animals T1, which is an example of an object T photographed by the camera 400, and people such as zookeepers T2 can move between, for example, an outdoor exhibition area A1 and a breeding house A2 that can be entered and exited through an entrance G installed at the boundary between the outdoor exhibition area A1. The multiple areas A are not limited to the outdoor exhibition area A1 and the breeding house A2, and may be areas that are not separated by an entrance G or the like, for example, an area on the left side and an area on the right side of the outdoor exhibition area A1. The camera 400 photographs the area A. That is, it photographs the animals T1 and the zookeepers T2 in the area A.

[0031] Moreover, the real-time video captured by camera 400 is transmitted to server device 100 via network N. Then, the real-time video is transmitted from server device 100 in response to an operation from user terminal 200, allowing the user to view real-time video of the zoo using user terminal 200. Moreover, it is preferable that cameras 400 are installed at multiple locations in the zoo, and the user can select a camera 400 installed in an area of ​​the zoo that he or she wishes to view, and view the video from that camera 400.

[0032] Furthermore, camera 400 may capture the subject from a direction horizontal to the ground surface. In other words, it may be possible to capture video from an angle that visitors to the zoo can see with their own eyes. In this case, it is desirable that camera 400 is located at a height from the ground surface that is approximately the height of a person's eyes. Note that camera 400 is not limited to capturing the subject from a direction horizontal to the ground surface, and may be configured to capture video from an angle that visitors to the zoo cannot see with their own eyes.

[0033] Moreover, it is desirable that camera 400 is installed facing area A where animals in the zoo are exhibited, and not facing areas where zoo visitors are captured, such as the aisles through which zoo visitors pass or the spectator seats. If the areas where zoo visitors are captured are within the shooting range of the camera, it is desirable to perform image recognition of human faces in the video transmitted to user terminal 200 and to perform processing such as blurring the faces.

[0034] The detection device 500 is a device that detects movement of a target T, such as an animal T1 or a zookeeper T2, between areas A. In this embodiment, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, the detection device 500 is configured with a 3D sensor camera that is installed on the ceiling side of the boundary between areas A and is capable of measuring at least the distance to the target T. Here, the boundary between areas A includes the entrance / exit G between the outdoor exhibition area A1 and the breeding house A2.

[0035] (Server device 100) FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of server device 100 according to the present embodiment.

[0036] 3, the server device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103, a storage unit 104, and a communication interface 105. Each component is connected to each other via a bus 106 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0037] The CPU 101 is a central processing unit, and executes various programs and controls each part. That is, the CPU 101 reads a program from the ROM 102 or the storage unit 104, and executes the program using the RAM 103 as a working area. The CPU 101 controls each of the above components and performs various arithmetic processing according to the program recorded in the ROM 102 or the storage unit 104. In this embodiment, the program is stored in the ROM 102 or the storage unit 104.

[0038] The ROM 102 stores various programs and various data. The RAM 103 temporarily stores programs or data as a working area. The storage unit 104 is configured with an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) and stores various programs including an operating system and various data.

[0039] Here, examples of information stored in storage unit 104 in this embodiment include video captured by camera 400, detection results transmitted from detection device 500, the number of animals in each area A, and the like.

[0040] The communication interface 105 is connected to the network N, and enables the server device 100 to communicate with other devices such as the user terminal 200, the administrator terminal 300, and the camera 400.

[0041] Next, the functional configuration realized by the server device 100 will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the CPU 101 of the server device 100. As shown in FIG.

[0042] 4, the server device 100 has, as functional components, a moving image receiving unit 110, a transmitting unit 111, a detection receiving unit 112, a determining unit 113, and a switching unit 114. Each functional component is realized by the CPU 101 reading and executing a program stored in the ROM 102 or the storage unit 104.

[0043] (Video reception section 110) The video receiving unit 110 receives a video currently being captured from the camera 400. That is, the video receiving unit 110 receives a real-time video being captured by the camera 400.

[0044] (Transmitter 111) The transmitting unit 111 transmits the real-time video received by the video receiving unit 110 to the user terminal 200. That is, in response to a request from the user terminal 200 that has accessed the server device 100, the transmitting unit 111 transmits the real-time video being shot by the camera 400 to the user terminal 200, and causes the user terminal 200 to play it.

[0045] (Detection reception unit 112) The detection receiving unit 112 receives a detection result of the detection device 500 that detects the movement of an object between the areas A (A1, A2).

[0046] (Judgment unit 113) The determination unit 113 determines, from the detection result of the detection device 500, whether the object T that moved between the areas A (A1, A2) is a zookeeper T2 or an animal T1.

[0047] Next, the detection of the detection device 500 and the determination of the object T will be described with reference to FIG. 5. The 3D sensor camera, which is an example of the detection device 500, detects the movement of the object T between areas A (A1, A2). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, it is a device that is installed on the ceiling side of the boundary between areas A and can measure at least the distance to the object T. That is, a threshold value of the distance when the object T is a zookeeper T2 and a threshold value of the distance when the object T is an animal T1 are set in advance, and it is possible to determine whether the object T that has moved between areas A (A1, A2) is the zookeeper T2 or the animal T1 according to the distance from the 3D sensor camera. For example, if the distance is 150 cm or more, the object T is determined to be the zookeeper T2, and if the distance is less than 150 cm, the object T is determined to be the animal T1. Here, such a threshold value may be changed for each animal in the area A. For example, in the case of area A exhibiting an animal T1 that is larger than a zookeeper T2, if the object T is 180 cm or taller, it is determined to be the animal T1, and if it is less than 180 cm, it is determined to be the zookeeper T2.

[0048] The 3D sensor camera also detects from which area A the object T has moved and determines the destination area A. Note that the area A from which the object T has moved may be detected using a sensor other than the 3D sensor camera.

[0049] Next, the operation of the server device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of an operation reception process by the server device 100. The CPU 101 reads out a program from the ROM 102 or the storage unit 104, and deploys and executes it to perform the process. In addition, as a premise of this flowchart, the server device 100 receives videos from a camera (video reception unit 110). In addition, as a premise of this flowchart, the server device 100 receives a video selection operation from the user terminal 200, which is performed by a user accessing the zoo's website using the user terminal 200. FIG. 7 is an example of the zoo's website displayed on the display of the user terminal 200. As shown in FIG. 7, the zoo's website displays links L to videos called "Video 1", "Video 2", and "Video 3" for each exhibit area. That is, for example, "Video 1" for a video of the lion exhibit area and "Video 2" for a video of the red panda exhibit area are set, respectively. When the user selects the link L to the desired video, the video is selected and the real-time video captured by the camera 400 installed in that exhibition area is transmitted to the user terminal 200 (transmission unit 111), making the real-time video available for viewing. Note that the link L to the video for each exhibition area is not limited to the display of "Video 1" in Fig. 7, but may be other displays such as "Channel 1 (Ch.1)", "Channel 2 (Ch.2)", "Channel 3 (Ch.3)", etc.

[0050] In step S100, the CPU 101 (detection receiving unit 112) of the server device 100 determines whether the detection device 500 has detected movement of the object T between areas A (A1, A2). If it is determined that the detection device 500 has detected movement of the object T between areas A (A1, A2), the process proceeds to the next step S101. On the other hand, if it is not determined that movement of the object T between areas A (A1, A2) has been detected, the process ends.

[0051] In step S101, the CPU 101 (determination unit 113) of the server device 100 determines whether the object T detected in step S100 is an animal T1. If it is determined that the object T is an animal T1, the process proceeds to the next step S102. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the object T is an animal T1, the process ends.

[0052] In step S102, the CPU 101 of the server device 100 counts the number of animals T1 in each area A. Specifically, for the number of animals T1 in each area A stored in the memory unit 104, the number of animals T1 in the area A to which the animals T1 have been moved is incremented by "+1" and the number of animals T1 in the area A from which the animals T1 have been moved is incremented by "-1." Note that, as a prerequisite, an initial value, for example, that there are "5" animals T1 in the breeding pen A2, has been input using the administrator terminal 300 or the like. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S103.

[0053] In step S103, the CPU 101 (switching unit 114) of the server device 100 compares the number of animals T1 in each area A, specifically, the number of animals T1 in the outdoor exhibition area A1 and the number of animals T1 in the breeding pen A2. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S104.

[0054] In step S104, if the comparison result in step S103 shows that the outdoor exhibition area A1 has more exhibits, the process proceeds to step S105, and if the outdoor exhibition area A1 does not have more exhibits, the process proceeds to step S106. Note that if the numbers of exhibits between the areas A are the same, a video of a predetermined area A, for example, the camera 400 of the outdoor exhibition area A1, may be set to be transmitted to the user terminal 200.

[0055] In step S105, the CPU 101 (switching unit 114) of the server device 100 performs a process of switching to video from the camera 400A of the outdoor exhibition area A1. Here, the process of switching videos also includes the case of transmitting the video from the same camera 400 as before the switching. Then, the process ends.

[0056] In step S106, the CPU 101 (switching unit 114) of the server device 100 performs a process of switching to the video captured by the camera 400B in the breeding house A2. Then, the process ends.

[0057] According to this embodiment, animals can be always seen in the video, which can enhance the interest of watching the video. Also, no matter where you are, you can have the experience of going to the zoo. It is also possible to view areas such as enclosure A2 that cannot be seen even if you go to the zoo.

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0059] Also, an identification device capable of identifying the animal T1 may be attached to the animal T1, and the identification device may be read to identify whether the object T is the zookeeper T2 or the animal T1.

[0060] Specifically, first, an identification device capable of identifying the animal T1 is attached to the animal T1. Here, the identification device includes a microchip attached to a dog or a cat based on the Animal Welfare and Management Law. In addition, the detection device 500 is installed at the boundary of the area A and reads the identification device. In addition, the determination unit 113 determines whether the target T is a zookeeper T2 or an animal T1 based on the detection result of the detection device 500.

[0061] In addition, the identification device stores at least a description of the animal T1 to which the identification device is attached, and the functional configuration of the CPU 101 of the server device 100 may include a display control unit that can display the description of the animal T1 on a display device such as the display of the user terminal 200.

[0062] A configuration for displaying a description of the animal T1 will be described with reference to Figs. 8 and 9. As shown in Fig. 8, a list of animals T1 present in the area A may be displayed as a "list of animals currently present". When a user selects "name" from the "list of animals currently present" using an input device such as a touch panel of the user terminal 200, an arrow Y indicating the animal T1 and a description of the animal T1, such as its name, sex, age, etc., may be displayed as shown in Fig. 9. As described above, the description of the animal T1 is stored in an identification device attached to the animal T1, but may also be stored in the server device 100 or the like.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the video of the camera 400 is switched according to the number of animals T1 in each area A, but it may be switched according to a specific animal instead of the number of animals. For example, a specific animal may become famous among animals of the same type, and the video of the camera 400 in the area A in which the famous animal is present may be switched. Whether the animal is a specific animal may be determined using an identification device such as the microchip described above, or may be determined using image recognition to distinguish it from other animals. Also, the camera 400 may track the animal.

[0064] Furthermore, the detection device 500 is not limited to the above-mentioned 3D sensor camera, and may be a heat detection sensor. With a heat detection sensor, even if the animal T1 cannot be determined based on the height of the object T due to the distance from the ceiling, it is possible to determine that the animal is a zookeeper T2 based on body temperature or the like. Furthermore, the detection device 500 may include other sensors, such as a heat detection sensor, in addition to the 3D sensor camera. By determining the animal T1 and the zookeeper T2 using multiple sensors, it is possible to improve accuracy.

[0065] Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the moving image is a moving image of area A captured by one camera 400, but is not limited to this. Moving images captured by a plurality of adjacent cameras 400 may be composited to generate a composite moving image with a large resolution, and the composite moving image may be transmitted to the user terminal 200.

[0066] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, multiple cameras 400 are installed so as to capture the same area A from different installation positions. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing the area A as viewed from above. In the example shown in Fig. 10, multiple cameras 400 (six in this example) are installed in positions surrounding a specific outdoor exhibition area A1 of the zoo.

[0067] The server device 100 also includes, as a functional configuration, a synthesis unit that synthesizes frame images constituting videos captured by multiple cameras 400 installed at adjacent positions among videos received from multiple cameras 400 that capture the same shooting range from different installation positions to generate one synthetic video. That is, the videos from the cameras 400 installed at adjacent positions are synthesized to generate a synthetic video that is long in the horizontal direction.

[0068] FIG. 11 is an example of a composite video displayed on the user terminal 200. FIG. 11 shows a state in which a composite video long in the horizontal direction is generated from videos of cameras 400A to 400D among the cameras 400, and a video in a range spanning videos of cameras 400B and 400C is viewed. Also, as shown in FIG. 11, the composite video can be scrolled vertically or horizontally (arrows in FIG. 11) so that a part of the composite video that the user wants to view is displayed on the display. Note that a description of the video composition is omitted because an existing technology is used. Also, it is desirable to install the cameras 400 so that there are no blind spots that cannot be captured by the multiple cameras 400, but the existence of blind spots is not excluded. Also, the composition of the videos is not limited to the case of combining all the videos transmitted from the multiple cameras 400, and in order to reduce the processing load of the composition of the server device 100, only the videos in the range viewed by the user, that is, in the example shown in FIG. 11, only the videos of cameras 400B and 400C may be combined.

[0069] The transmission unit 111 transmits the moving image synthesized by the synthesis unit to the user terminal 200.

[0070] This makes it possible to view a larger area in one video than when a video is shot with one camera. It also makes it possible to view a video that spans the shooting range of camera 400 in one video. It also makes it possible to view animals and the like shot from various angles without switching cameras 400.

[0071] Furthermore, by installing microphones in the zoo in addition to or in addition to the camera 400, and transmitting sounds from within the zoo to the user terminal 200, it is possible to make the video that is viewed more realistic.

[0072] Furthermore, when a predetermined video is shot, the switching unit 114 may stop transmission of the video of the camera 400 that shot the video to the user terminal 200. For example, when a video that is not suitable for distribution, such as a video of animals fighting, is shot, the transmission of the video of the camera 400 may be stopped and a video of another camera 400 may be transmitted. Whether a video is a predetermined video is determined by the CPU 101, for example, when a red color representing the color of blood is shot over a predetermined area or when an animal has been recognized to have performed a predetermined action. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to stopping the transmission of the video, and a process may be performed in which a part that is not suitable for distribution is recognized as an image and the part is blurred.

[0073] Furthermore, the information processing system 10 of this embodiment is not limited to the case where the camera 400 is installed in a zoo, and the camera 400 may be installed in other places, for example, a park.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the program is pre-stored (installed) in the ROM 102 or the storage unit 104, but the present invention is not limited to this. The program may be provided in a form recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk Read Only Memory), or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The program may also be downloaded from an external device via the network N. [Explanation of symbols]
