Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a mobile object management system that manages the actions of passengers who enter and exit a station and use a mobile object. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional method for managing vehicle seats is for the conductor to visually compare "purchased ticket information" with "actual seat occupancy" and check the tickets of passengers sitting in seats for which no tickets have been purchased (ticket inspection).This seat management method requires the conductor to make rounds, so it does not function well and cannot be applied to fully unmanned operation.

[0003] In response to this, Patent Document 1 describes a seat management method in which a magnetic substance storing ticket information is embedded in a ticket and the magnetic substance inside the ticket is read by an unauthorized use prevention device that controls whether the seat can be used. The seat management method disclosed in Patent Document 1 makes it possible to prevent unauthorized seat use without any personnel present. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 4-174068 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Conventional mobile management systems, including seat management systems that execute the seat management method disclosed in Patent Document 1, require passengers to insert a magnetically attached reserved seat ticket into a slot of a magnetic reader at their seats, and the magnetic reader reads the information on the reserved seat ticket to determine whether the seat is available for use. This means that passengers must insert their reserved seat ticket into the slot of the magnetic reader themselves in order to sit in a reserved seat, which creates a problem of inconvenient work for passengers.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a mobile object management system that can automatically determine whether a passenger using a mobile object is behaving legitimately or fraudulently, without imposing a burden on the passenger. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A mobile object management system according to the present disclosure is a mobile object management system that manages the actions of passengers who enter and exit a station and use mobile objects, and includes a ticket gate that is provided at each station and that responds to an entry ticket recognition operation performed by a passenger holding a ticket when entering the station and acquires ticket information related to the ticket, an entry ticket gate side camera that photographs the passenger who performed the entry ticket recognition operation to acquire passenger video at entry, an in-vehicle camera that photographs passengers inside the mobile object and acquires passenger video inside the mobile object, and a server that is connected to the ticket gate, the entry ticket gate side camera, and the in-vehicle camera via a communication line and acquires the passenger video at entry, passenger video inside the mobile object, and the ticket information, and the ticket information includes boardable mobile object information that identifies mobile objects that can be boarded, and the server has a mobile object management function, and the mobile object management function is configured to acquire the passenger video at entry, and a person image saving process for saving a pair of ticket management information associating the person image information at the time of entry with the ticket information as a person image / ticket information group, corresponding to a passenger who has passed through the ticket gate and entered the station. A plurality of ticket management information pairs associating the person image information at the time of entry with the ticket information are saved as the person image / ticket information group, corresponding to a plurality of passengers. The mobile object management function further includes an in-vehicle person image recognition process for analyzing the in-vehicle passenger image and acquiring in-vehicle person image information that identifies the in-vehicle passenger in the in-vehicle passenger image, and a fraud determination process for determining the legitimacy of the in-vehicle passenger as being legitimate or fraudulent, based on the in-vehicle person image information, by referring to the person image / ticket information group. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The server in the mobile object management system of the present disclosure executes the fraud determination process described above as a mobile object management function. With regard to the mobile object management function including this fraud determination process, the only action required of passengers is to recognize their tickets upon entry, which is a normal operation when entering a station.

[0009] Therefore, the mobile management system of the present disclosure can automatically determine whether a passenger using a mobile vehicle is behaving legitimately or fraudulently, without imposing a burden on the passenger. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] <First Embodiment> 1 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating the configuration of a mobile object management system 101 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobile object management system 101 manages the actions of passengers who enter and exit a station 19 and use a group of mobile objects 1, and as will be described later, functions as both a seat management system and a boarding management system.

[0012] As shown in the figure, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment includes a ticket gate installation area 191, a ground server 7, a monitoring terminal 8, and a group of mobile objects 1 as main components.

[0013] An entrance ticket gate side camera 39 and a ticket gate 9 are installed in a ticket gate installation area 191 arranged at each station 19.

[0014] A passenger 10 holds a ticket 4 for boarding a group of moving objects 1 such as a train, and performs a ticket recognition operation at the time of entry, such as holding the ticket 4 over a ticket recognition area of ​​a ticket gate 9.

[0015] The ticket gate 9 acquires ticket information 4I relating to the ticket 4 in response to the aforementioned entry ticket recognition operation performed by the passenger 10 when entering the station 19. Normally, the ticket gate 9 enters an entry pass state in response to the entry ticket recognition operation, allowing the passenger 10 to pass through, so the passenger 10 can pass through the ticket gate 9 in the ticket gate installation area 191 and enter the station 19. The ticket information 4I includes boardable vehicle information that identifies the vehicles that can be boarded.

[0016] The entrance ticket gate side camera 39 captures an image of the passenger 10 who has performed the above-mentioned entrance ticket recognition operation to obtain an entrance passenger image S39. The entrance ticket gate side camera 39 is placed, for example, above the ticket recognition area of ​​the ticket gate 9, and captures an image of the passenger 10 who has performed the entrance ticket recognition operation. The entrance ticket gate side camera 39 is preferably placed so that facial recognition of the passenger 10 can be performed when capturing the image.

[0017] The ground server 7 in the station 19 is connected to the ticket gate 9 and the entrance ticket gate camera 39 via a communication line CL, and acquires the entrance passenger video S39 taken by the entrance ticket gate camera 39 and the ticket information 4I acquired by the ticket gate 9. The communication line CL may be a wireless line or a wired line.

[0018] The monitoring terminal 8 is usually carried by a station staff member 20 in a station 19. The monitoring terminal 8 is connected to the ground server 7 via a communication line CL, and information is exchanged between the ground server 7 and the monitoring terminal 8.

[0019] The moving body group 1 is composed of a combination of moving bodies 1a to 1c. The moving bodies 1a to 1c each correspond to a train car. In the moving body group 1 shown in FIG. 1, a movable seat 2M is installed in moving body 1a, an on-board server 6 is installed in moving body 1b, and a boarding / alighting door 15 is installed in moving body 1c.

[0020] In the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment, the management seat to be determined whether it is usable or not is the movable seat 2M. In Fig. 1, two types of cameras are shown as the in-vehicle cameras: a seat-side camera 31a and a door-side camera 31c.

[0021] The seat-side camera 31a, which is one of the cameras inside the vehicle, is provided in correspondence with the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, so that the seating status of the passenger in the movable seat 2M can be recognized. The seat-side camera 31a is preferably placed, for example, in the ceiling area of ​​the vehicle 1a, and is capable of recognizing the face of the seated passenger 11 seated in the movable seat 2M at the time of photographing.

[0022] Furthermore, by installing the seat-side camera 31a so that it takes pictures from the side, diagonally in front of the upper part of the movable seat 2M, the passenger's skeletal information can be determined from the seated passenger image S31a, and it can be determined that the passenger is seated when the passenger's buttocks are in contact with the seat surface of the movable seat 2M.

[0023] The seat-side camera 31a installed as described above captures the seated passenger 11 who is seated in the movable seat 2M, and acquires the seated passenger video S31a.

[0024] In addition to the camera inside the moving body, another camera 31c on the boarding / alighting side is provided corresponding to the boarding / alighting door 15 of the moving body 1c so that the state of passengers entering and exiting the boarding / alighting door 15 can be recognized, and a boarding passenger 12 who is a passenger boarding through the boarding / alighting door 15 is photographed to obtain a boarding passenger image S31c.

[0025] The entrance-side camera 31c is preferably arranged, for example, in the ceiling area of ​​the moving body 1c near the entrance 15, and is capable of recognizing the face of the passenger 12 who boards through the entrance 15 when photographing.

[0026] The on-board server 6 is connected to the movable seats 2M, the seat-side cameras 31a, the ground server 7, and the entrance / exit side cameras 31c via communication lines CL.

[0027] Therefore, in the mobile object management system 101, the servers including the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7 are connected to the ticket gate 9, the entrance ticket gate side camera 39, and the cameras inside the vehicle (seat side camera 31a, boarding / alighting side camera 31c) via communication lines CL, and can obtain the entrance passenger video S39, the vehicle interior passenger video S31 (seated passenger video S31a, boarding passenger video S31c), and ticket information 4I. All of the above-mentioned communication lines CL may be wireless or wired lines.

[0028] The server of the mobile object management system 101 has a mobile object management function, which includes a person image recognition process at the time of entry, a person image storage process, a person image recognition process inside the mobile object, and a fraud determination process.

[0029] The entrance person image recognition process analyzes the entrance passenger image S39 captured by the entrance ticket gate side camera 39, and acquires entrance person image information S7h that identifies the passenger 10 in the entrance passenger image S39. The entrance person image recognition process is executed by the ground server 7.

[0030] The person image storage process is a process of storing a ticket management information pair that associates the entry person image information S7h with the ticket information 4I for a passenger 10 who has passed through the ticket gate 9 and entered the station 19 as a person image / ticket information group 45. The person image storage process is mainly executed by the ground server 7.

[0031] Since the person image storage process is performed for all passengers 10 entering station 19, multiple ticket management information pairs that associate person image information at the time of entry with ticket information corresponding to multiple passengers 10 entering station 19 are stored as person image / ticket information group 45.

[0032] The in-vehicle person image recognition process is a process of analyzing the in-vehicle passenger image S31 and acquiring in-vehicle person image information S6h that identifies the in-vehicle passengers who are the passengers in the in-vehicle passenger image S31. The in-vehicle person image recognition process is executed by the on-board server 6. The in-vehicle passengers include seated passengers 11 and riding passengers 12.

[0033] The in-vehicle passenger image S31 includes seated passenger image S31a captured by the seat-side camera 31a and boarding passenger image S31c captured by the door-side camera 31c. The in-vehicle person image recognition process includes seated person image recognition process and boarding person image recognition process.

[0034] The seated person image recognition process is a process of analyzing the seated passenger image S31a captured by the seat-side camera 31a and acquiring seated passenger image information S6h2 that identifies the seated passenger 11 in the seated passenger image S31a.

[0035] The passenger image recognition process is a process of analyzing the passenger image S31c captured by the door-side camera 31c and acquiring passenger image information S6h1 that identifies the passenger 12 in the passenger image S31c.

[0036] The fraud determination process is a process that refers to the person image / ticket information group 45 and determines whether the passengers inside the mobile body (seated passengers 11, boarding passengers 12) riding in the mobile body group 1 are legitimate or committing fraud, based on the person image information S6h inside the mobile body.

[0037] The fraud determination process includes a seat availability determination process and a boarding availability determination process, which will be described later. Normal behavior includes authorized use and authorized boarding, which will be described later, and fraudulent behavior includes unauthorized use and unauthorized boarding, which will be described later.

[0038] The boarding permission determination process is a process for determining whether the boarding passenger 12 is boarding legitimately or fraudulently based on the boarding passenger-related ticket information, which is ticket information 4I associated with the entry person profile information S7h that matches the boarding passenger person profile information S6h1.

[0039] The boarding permission determination process determines that boarding is authorized if the boarding-permitted mobile body information in the above-mentioned passenger-related ticket information satisfies the boarding conditions of the mobile body group 1, and determines that boarding is unauthorized if the boarding conditions of the mobile body group 1 are not satisfied.

[0040] The seat availability determination process is a process for determining whether a seated passenger 11 is using the seat legitimately or fraudulently based on seated passenger-related ticket information, which is ticket information 4I associated with entry person image information S7h that matches seated passenger person image information S6h2.

[0041] The seat availability determination process determines that the seat is being used legitimately if the seated passenger-related ticket information satisfies the usage conditions of the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, and determines that the seat is being used fraudulently if the usage conditions of the movable seat 2M are not met.

[0042] As such, the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1 has as its main components a movable seat 2M, a ticket gate side camera 39 at the entrance, a seat side camera 31a, a boarding / exit side camera 31c, a ticket gate machine 9, an on-board server 6, a ground server 7, and a monitoring terminal 8.

[0043] As described above, moving body 1a is provided with movable seats 2M where passengers sit, and seat-side camera 31a that can capture images of the interior of moving body 1a. Moving body 1b is provided with an on-board server 6. Moving body 1c is provided with a door-side camera 31c that can capture images of the interior of moving body 1c. Moving body group 1 including moving body 1a, moving body 1b, and moving body 1c is, for example, a train, and moving bodies 1a to 1c are connected together and move along a predetermined track.

[0044] The entrance ticket gate side camera 39 transmits an entrance passenger video S39 of a passenger 10 passing through the ticket gate 9 to the ground server 7, and the ticket gate 9 transmits ticket information 4I read from the ticket 4 when the passenger 10 performs the ticket recognition operation at the time of entrance to the ground server 7.

[0045] The ticket 4 has ticket information 4I for using the group of moving objects 1. The ticket information 4I includes boardable moving object information that identifies the moving objects that can be boarded, such as the group of moving objects 1. The form of the ticket 4 may be any form that allows the ticket gate 9 to read the ticket information, and may be a magnetic ticket or a portable terminal such as a smartphone owned by the passenger 10.

[0046] The ground server 7 can receive the entrance passenger image S39 captured by the entrance ticket gate side camera 39 and the ticket information 4I of the ticket 4 read by the ticket gate 9, and executes an entrance person image recognition process to obtain entrance person image information S7h that identifies the passenger 10 in the entrance passenger image S39. Then, a ticket management information pair that associates the entrance person image information S7h and the ticket information 4I obtained in response to the entrance ticket recognition operation by the same passenger 10 is saved as a person image / ticket information group 45.

[0047] The on-board server 6 has the function of receiving and storing a group of person images and ticket information 45 including ticket management information pairs from the ground server 7, and also receives seated passenger images S31a taken by the seat-side camera 31a and boarding passenger images S31c taken by the boarding / alighting door-side camera 31c.

[0048] Then, the on-board server 6 executes seated person image recognition processing to analyze the seated passenger image S31a and acquire seated passenger image information S6h2 that identifies the seated passenger 11 in the seated passenger image S31a. Furthermore, the on-board server 6 executes riding person image recognition processing to analyze the riding passenger image S31c and acquire riding passenger image information S6h1 that identifies the riding passenger 12 in the riding passenger image S31c.

[0049] In addition, the on-board server 6 has the function of controlling the movable seat 2M to an available or unavailable state based on the ticket information 4I, and the function of controlling the operation of the audio output unit 54 and light-emitting unit 55 provided on the seat-side camera 31a and the boarding / alighting door-side camera 31c.

[0050] The monitoring terminal 8 has the function of being able to view, via the on-board server 6 or the ground server 7, seated passenger video S31a taken by the seat-side camera 31a, boarding passenger video S31c taken by the boarding / alighting door camera 31c, entering passenger video S39 taken by the entrance ticket gate camera 39, recorded video stored in the on-board server 6 or the ground server 7, and information corresponding to the figures in the video.

[0051] 1 shows an example in which the mobile object group 1 is configured with three mobile objects 1a to 1c connected together, but the number of mobile objects is not limited. Also, while FIG. 1 shows an example in which one movable seat 2M, on-board server 6, ground server 7, ticket gate 9, and monitoring terminal 8 are provided, there may be two or more of them. Furthermore, instead of the combination of the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7, a single aggregation server that integrates the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7 may be provided.

[0052] 1 shows a configuration in which one each of the entrance ticket gate camera 39, seat camera 31a, and door camera 31c, which are surveillance cameras, is provided, but two or more of each may be provided. Also, the seat camera 31a and door camera 31c, which are surveillance cameras provided in the moving object group 1, may be combined into one surveillance camera.

[0053] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of information held by the ticket 4, the on-board server 6, or the ground server 7 in the mobile object management system 101 according to the first embodiment.

[0054] As shown in the figure, the ticket 4 holds ticket information 4I required to board the group of moving objects 1. In the ticket information 4I, the "ticket identification number i (i = 1)" indicates a number that is unique among multiple tickets 4. The "boarding period i" indicates the period during which the ticket 4 is valid. The "boarding section i" indicates the section in which the ticket 4 can be used for boarding. The "car type i" indicates the type of car that the ticket 4 can be used for, for example, whether it is an express or local train. The "seat number i" indicates the seat number for reserved seats, and if it is an unreserved seat, the number indicates no seat designation. The "mobile object number i" indicates the number of a mobile object that can be used for boarding if a seat number is designated, and if it is an unreserved seat, the number indicates no mobile object designation.

[0055] The "ticket identification number i" is associated with the above-mentioned "ride period i", "ride section i", "car type i", "seat number i" and "mobile unit number i" and stored.

[0056] The rideable mobile object information included in the ticket information 4I includes the above-mentioned "ride period i," "ride section i," and "vehicle type i."

[0057] As will be described later, the on-board server 6 has a ticket information storage unit 64, a person image storage unit 65, and a video storage unit 66, and the ground server 7 has a ticket information storage unit 74, a person image storage unit 75, and a video storage unit 76, just like the on-board server 6. Below, the contents stored in the ticket information storage unit 64, the person image storage unit 65, and the video storage unit 66 will be explained, taking the on-board server 6 as a representative.

[0058] The information stored in memory units 64 to 66 includes the results of the boarding eligibility determination process, the results of the seat availability determination process, and video information recorded at the time of unauthorized boarding, and this information is used to determine whether or not a passenger can pass through ticket gate 9.

[0059] The ticket information storage unit 64 stores, in addition to the contents of ticket information 4I stored in the ticket 4, a "person identifier j (j=1, 2...)" that serves as a link to the person image storage unit 65, and "seat usage information j" that records the seat usage status and usage history of the passenger corresponding to the person identifier j. In this way, the ticket information storage unit 64 stores, as a ticket information group 40, a collection of information in which the "person identifier j" and "seat usage information j" have been added to the contents of ticket information 4I in a form corresponding to the "ticket identification number j."

[0060] In this way, the ticket information storage unit 64 stores, for each of the multiple passengers 10, information to which the ticket information 4I, “person identifier j” and “seat occupancy information j” have been added as the ticket information group 40.

[0061] The person image storage unit 65 stores, as the person image / ticket information group 45, a "person identifier k (k=1, 2...)" that uniquely manages person image information, a "ticket identification number k" that serves as a link to the ticket information group 40 stored in the ticket information storage unit 64, "fraudulent information k" that is recorded when a passenger corresponding to the "person identifier k" rides without authorization, and a "recording number k" that serves as a link to the video information group 46 stored in the video storage unit 66. If the passenger corresponding to the "person identifier k" has not boarded without authorization or used the train without authorization, the "fraudulent information k" and the "recording number k" will be null. Note that the fraudulent information k includes information on illegal riding and information on illegal use.

[0062] Therefore, for each of the multiple passengers 10 who have passed through the ticket gate 9 and entered the station 19, a ticket management information pair that associates "personal image information k," which is person image information at the time of entry, with "ticket identification number k," which specifies the ticket information 4I, is stored as a person image / ticket information group 45. That is, for each of the multiple passengers 10, multiple ticket management information pairs are stored in the person image storage unit 65 as person image / ticket information groups 45.

[0063] The video storage unit 66 stores a video information group 46. The video information group 46 holds "video information l (l=1, 2, ...)" recorded when someone rides illegally or uses a vehicle illegally, a "recording period l," a "recording location l," and a "recording number l" corresponding to the "video information l," and "person identifier l-1, ... lN" that serves as a link to the person image storage unit 65 corresponding to the passenger who rode illegally or used a vehicle illegally. The "recording number l" identifies the video information, the "recording period l" identifies the recording period, and the "recording location l" identifies the recording location.

[0064] The contents stored in the ticket information storage unit 74, the person image storage unit 75, and the video storage unit 76 of the ground server 7 are substantially the same as those stored in the on-board server 6.

[0065] 3 is a block diagram schematically showing the internal configuration of a movable seat 2M in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the movable seat 2M has a communication unit 21, a control unit 22, and a movable unit 23 as main components. The communication unit 21 receives instructions from the control unit 22 and is used by the movable seat 2M to communicate with the on-board server 6 via the communication line CL. The communication unit 21 receives a seat control request S6c from the on-board server 6. The instructions in the seat control request S6c include a seat unusable process, which will be described later.

[0066] When the control unit 22 receives a seat control request S6c from the communication unit 21, it operates the movable unit 23 based on the instructions of the seat control request S6c, and makes the movable seat 2M usable or unusable, or vibrates the movable seat 2M.

[0067] Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic internal configuration of a surveillance camera used in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment. Possible surveillance cameras 35 shown in Fig. 4 include seat-side camera 31a, platform-side camera 31c, entrance ticket gate-side camera 39, and exit ticket gate-side camera 39X, which will be described later. In other words, surveillance camera 35 is a collective term for seat-side camera 31a, platform-side camera 31c, entrance ticket gate-side camera 39, and exit ticket gate-side camera 39X.

[0068] 4, the surveillance camera 35 has as its main components a communication unit 51, a control unit 52, a photographing unit 53, an audio output unit 54, and a light-emitting unit 55. The seat-side camera 31a has a number of audio output units 54 and light-emitting units 55 corresponding to the number of movable seats 2M. Furthermore, the audio output units 54 and light-emitting units 55 may be omitted from the entrance ticket gate side camera 39 and the exit ticket gate side camera 39X.

[0069] The communication unit 51 receives instructions from the control unit 52 and is used by the surveillance camera 35 to communicate with the on-board server 6 or the ground server 7. The communication unit 51 transmits the video information (entering passenger video S39, inside-vehicle passenger video S31, and exiting passenger video S39X) captured by the imaging unit 53 to the on-board server 6 or the ground server 7. The communication unit 51 also receives audio information S6v and a light emission request S6d from the on-board server 6.

[0070] When the control unit 52 receives audio information S6v from the communication unit 51, it outputs or stops audio based on the audio information S6v from the audio output unit 54. Furthermore, when the control unit 52 receives a light emission request S6d from the communication unit 51, it turns on or off the light emitting unit 55 based on the light emission request S6d.

[0071] Fig. 5 is a block diagram schematically showing the internal configuration of the ticket gate 9 in the mobile object management system 101 of the embodiment 1. As shown in Fig. 5, the ticket gate 9 includes a communication unit 91, a control unit 92, an opening / closing unit 93, and a ticket information reading unit 94 as main components.

[0072] The communication unit 91 receives instructions from the control unit 92 and is used to communicate with the ground server 7. The communication unit 91 transmits the ticket information 4I of the ticket 4 read by the ticket information reading unit 94 to the ground server 7. The communication unit 91 also receives a blocking request S7x from the ground server 7.

[0073] When the control unit 92 receives the blocking request S7x from the communication unit 91, the control unit 92 executes a blocking process to block the opening / closing unit 93 and set the ticket gate 9 to a blocked state. The control unit 92 also reads the ticket information 4I from the ticket information reading unit 94.

[0074] FIG. 6 is a block diagram schematically showing the internal configuration of the on-board server 6 or the ground server 7 in the mobile object management system 101 according to the first embodiment.

[0075] 6, the on-board server 6 has as its main components a communication unit 61, a control unit 62, a video analysis unit 63, a ticket information storage unit 64, a person image storage unit 65, and a video storage unit 66. Similarly, the ground server 7 has as its main components a communication unit 71, a control unit 72, a video analysis unit 73, a ticket information storage unit 74, a person image storage unit 75, and a video storage unit 76. The internal configurations of the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7 are substantially the same.

[0076] Below, for features common to the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7, the internal configuration will be explained using the on-board server 6 as a representative, and for features unique to the ground server 7, the names of the components of the ground server 7 will be clearly stated.

[0077] The communication unit 61 is a component that receives instructions from the control unit 62 and communicates with the movable seats 2M, surveillance cameras 35, ticket gates 9 and surveillance terminals 8 via communication lines CL, and between the on-board server 6 and ground server 7 via communication lines CL.

[0078] The communication unit 61 receives video information from the monitoring camera 35. The communication unit 61 receives a data acquisition request from the monitoring terminal 8. The communication unit 61 also transmits ticket information 4I, person image information, and video information to the monitoring terminal 8.

[0079] The communication unit 71 of the ground server 7 receives the ticket information 4I from the ticket gate 9. The control unit 72 stores the ticket information 4I received from the communication unit 71 in the ticket information storage unit 74. The ticket information 4I is stored as a ticket information group 40 stored in the ticket information storage unit 74.

[0080] The control unit 62 transfers the video information received from the communication unit 61 (passenger video at entry S39, passenger video inside the vehicle S31) to the video analysis unit 63 and acquires a person identifier associated with the person image information analyzed by the video analysis unit 63.

[0081] The video analysis unit 73 of the ground server 7 analyzes the entrance passenger video S39, which is video information, and acquires entrance person image information S7h that identifies the passenger 10 in the entrance passenger video S39.

[0082] The control unit 72 can add a person identifier for identifying the entry time person image information S7h to the ticket information group 40 stored in the ticket information storage unit 64, and can add a ticket identification number to the person image and ticket information group 45 stored in the person image storage unit 75. That is, in each of the ticket information group 40 stored in the ticket information storage unit 74 and the person image and ticket information group 45 stored in the person image storage unit 65, the ticket identification number for identifying the ticket 4 can be linked with the person identifier for identifying the entry time person image information.

[0083] Therefore, the control unit 72 and the video analysis unit 73 of the ground server 7 can execute a person image storage process for storing, for each passenger 10 who has passed through the ticket gate 9 and entered the station, a ticket management information pair that associates the entry person image information S7h with the ticket information 4I as a person image / ticket information group 45. Here, the ticket management information pair corresponds to the linked ticket identification number and person identifier. As a result, for each passenger 10, a plurality of ticket management information pairs that associate the entry person image information S7h with the ticket information 4I are stored as a person image / ticket information group 45 in the person image storage unit 75.

[0084] The information stored in the ticket information storage unit 74 and the person image storage unit 75 of the ground server 7 is also transferred to the ticket information storage unit 74 and the person image storage unit 75 of the on-board server 6 via the communication line CL. In this way, information is exchanged between the ground server 7 and the on-board server 6.

[0085] The video analysis unit 63 of the on-board server 6 analyzes the in-vehicle passenger video S31, which is video information, and acquires in-vehicle person image information S6h that identifies the in-vehicle passengers (seated passengers 11, riding passengers 12) in the in-vehicle passenger video S31.

[0086] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 compares the entry person image information S7h stored in the person image storage unit 65 with the in-vehicle person image information S6h, and if it determines that they are the same person image, assigns the same person identifier as the entry person image information S7h to the in-vehicle person image information S6h; otherwise, it assigns a different person identifier and stores the in-vehicle person image information S6h as the person image / ticket information group 45 in the person image storage unit 65.

[0087] The video analysis unit 63 can save (record) video information in the video storage unit 66. The video analysis unit 63 can also add a recording number to the person image storage unit 65 and a person identifier to the video storage unit 66, thereby linking the information of each unit.

[0088] Furthermore, the entry person image information S7h extracted by the video analysis unit 73 of the ground server 7 includes information granularity that can identify not only the physical characteristics of the passenger 10 but also image information such as accessories and baggage. Note that "information granularity" is a piece of partial information for identifying a person's image. In other words, the entry person image information S7h includes personal belongings information that identifies the belongings of the passenger 10 in the entry passenger image S39 as passenger-related belongings.

[0089] Therefore, if the passenger inside the vehicle and the passenger's baggage are contained within the same passenger image S31 inside the vehicle, the image analysis unit 63 can recognize the baggage as passenger-related property even if it is located at a distance.

[0090] Furthermore, the communication unit 61 has a position recognition function, so that the on-board server 6 mounted on the moving object 1b has a moving object position recognition function that recognizes the current position of the moving object group 1 as moving object position information.

[0091] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 has an arrival time determination function that accurately determines the arrival time at each scheduled stop station from the current position of the mobile body group 1 indicated by the mobile body position information recognized by the mobile body position recognition function, by referring to the running status of the mobile body group 1, the position information of the stations where the mobile body group 1 will stop, etc.

[0092] Furthermore, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 has an arrival determination function that accurately determines whether or not the group of mobile objects 1 will arrive at each scheduled stop station based on the current position of the group of mobile objects 1 indicated by the mobile object position information, by referring to the running state of the group of mobile objects 1, position information of stations where the group of mobile objects 1 will stop, etc. The scheduled stop stations include destinations indicated by the destination information, which will be described later.

[0093] 7 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the internal configuration of monitoring terminal 8 in mobile object management system 101 according to embodiment 1. As shown in FIG. 7, monitoring terminal 8 includes a communication unit 81, a control unit 82, and a screen unit 83 as main components.

[0094] The communication unit 81 receives instructions from the control unit 82 and is used to communicate with the ground server 7 and the on-board server 6 via the communication line CL. Various images or videos are displayed on the screen unit 83 under the control of the control unit 82.

[0095] Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram that schematically shows the screen layout of the screen unit 83 of the monitoring terminal 8 shown in Fig. 7. As shown in Fig. 8, the screen unit 83 has a screen layout that includes a video information display screen 84, a video switching button 86, and a ticket information display screen 87. Video information is displayed on the video information display screen 84, and if person image information based on the video information has been obtained, a person image frame 85 that shows the person image information is also displayed on the video information display screen 84.

[0096] When the station staff 20 or the like presses the video switching button 86 on the monitoring terminal 8, a pull-down menu displays the video captured by the monitoring camera 35 and the recorded video stored in the ground server 7 or on-board server 6 as selection items. The selection items are used to switch the video displayed on the video information display screen 84. The ticket information display screen 87 displays information from the ticket information group 40, represented by ticket information 4I. In addition to the ticket information 4I, the ticket information group 40 includes seat occupancy information j corresponding to the person image frame 85 displayed on the video information display screen 84.

[0097] 9 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the procedure by which a passenger 10 passes through a ticket gate 9 and enters the premises of a station 19 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment. FIG. 9 shows the sequence between the passenger 10, the ticket 4, the ticket gate side camera 39 at the time of entry, the ticket gate 9, the ground server 7, and the on-board server 6.

[0098] 10, in step S101, passenger 10 performs a ticket recognition operation at the time of entry, in which ticket 4 is read by ticket gate 9.

[0099] In step S102, a ticket reading process is executed under the control of the control unit 92 of the ticket gate 9. That is, by the ticket reading process in step S102, the ticket information 4I of the ticket 4 is read by the ticket information reading unit 94, and the ticket information 4I is transmitted to the ground server 7 from the communication unit 91.

[0100] In this way, the ticket gate 9 acquires the ticket information 4I related to the ticket 4 in response to the ticket recognition operation at the time of entry performed by the passenger 10 holding the ticket 4 when entering the station 19.

[0101] Thereafter, in step S103, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 stores the ticket information 4I received from the communication unit 71 in the ticket information storage unit 74.

[0102] The entrance ticket gate side camera 39 constantly transmits the entrance passenger video S39, which is video information captured by the imaging unit 53, to the ground server 7 via the communication unit 51 under the control of the control unit 52.

[0103] In step S104, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 receives the entrance passenger video S39 from the entrance ticket gate side camera 39 via the communication unit 71 and transfers it to the video analysis unit 73. The video analysis unit 73 analyzes the received entrance passenger video S39 and executes an entrance person image recognition process to acquire entrance person image information S7h that identifies the passenger 10 in the entrance passenger video S39.

[0104] The control unit 72 assigns a person identifier for identification to the entry person image information S7h acquired from the video analysis unit 73, and stores the combination of the entry person image information S7h and the person identifier in the person image memory unit 65 as a person image / ticket information group 45.

[0105] In step S105, the control unit 62 performs processing to link the ticket information 4I stored in the ticket information storage unit 74 in step S103 with the entry person image information S7h stored in the person image storage unit 65 in step S104. That is, the control unit 62 stores the person identifier in the ticket information storage unit 64 and the ticket identification number in the person image storage unit 65, thereby storing a ticket management information pair in each of the ticket information storage unit 64 and the person image storage unit 65. The ticket management information pair is transmitted to the on-board server 6 by the communication unit 71.

[0106] The on-board server 6 to which the information is sent here corresponds, for example, to the on-board server 6 of the moving body 1b in the moving body group 1 that matches the validity range of the ticket information 4I. In this case, the fraud determination process performed by the on-board server 6 can be made more efficient, but it is also possible to send all of the information in the ticket information group 40 stored in the ticket information storage unit 74 of the ground server 7 to all of the on-board servers 6 in the moving body group 1 and other moving body groups.

[0107] In step S106, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 stores all of the ticket information 4I received from the communication unit 61 in the ticket information storage unit 64. In step S107, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 stores all of the entry time person image information S7h received from the communication unit 61 in the person image storage unit 65. Here, if the moving object group 1 in which the on-board server 6 is installed is a moving object group that matches the valid range of the ticket information 4I, the received ticket information 4I and entry time person image information S7h may be stored unconditionally in the on-board server 6.

[0108] In steps S106 and S107, the information stored in the ticket information storage unit 74 and the person image storage unit 75 of the ground server 7 is transferred to the ticket information storage unit 64 and the person image storage unit 65 of the on-board server 6. Therefore, like the ground server 7, the on-board server 6 stores ticket management information pairs in the ticket information storage unit 64 and the person image storage unit 65, respectively.

[0109] 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the boarding permission determination process and the subsequent sequence when a passenger boards the group of moving objects 1 in the moving object management system 101 of the first embodiment. FIG. 10 shows the sequence between the boarding passenger 12, the entrance / exit camera 31c, the on-board server 6, and the ground server 7.

[0110] The boarding permission determination process is a process of warning the passenger if it is determined that the boarding passenger 12 is attempting to board the train illegally, based on the boarding passenger profile information S6h1 of the boarding passenger 12 linked to the ticket information 4I. Figure 10 shows the flow of, when the boarding passenger 12 determined to be boarding illegally gets on the train anyway, storing the fact that the passenger boarded the train in the profile information, and linking the video information at the time of boarding illegally with the profile information and storing them.

[0111] 10, in step S201, the boarding passenger 12 boards the moving body 1c through the boarding / alighting door 15 of the moving body group 1.

[0112] The control unit 52 of the entrance / exit side camera 31c constantly transmits the passenger video S31c, which is video information captured by the imaging unit 53, to the on-board server 6 via the communication unit 51.

[0113] In the first process of step S202, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 receives the boarding passenger video S31c from the boarding / alighting door camera 31c via the communication unit 61 and transfers it to the video analysis unit 63. The video analysis unit 63 analyzes the received boarding passenger video S31c and executes boarding passenger image recognition processing to acquire boarding passenger image information S6h1 that identifies the boarding passenger 12 in the boarding passenger video S31c. The in-vehicle person image recognition processing includes the above-described boarding passenger image recognition processing, and the in-vehicle person image information S6h includes the boarding passenger image information S6h1.

[0114] In the second processing of step S202, the control unit 62 executes a boarding permission / denial determination processing to determine that boarding is authorized if the boarding passenger-related ticket information, which is ticket information 4I associated with entry person image information S7h that matches boarding passenger person image information S6h1, satisfies the boarding conditions of the mobile body group 1, and to determine that boarding is unauthorized if the boarding conditions of the mobile body group 1 are not satisfied.

[0115] That is, the control unit 62 can execute a boarding permission / prohibition determination process for the boarding passenger 12 based on the boarding-permitted mobile body information included in the ticket information 4I, which is the boarding-passenger-related ticket information. The fraud determination process includes a boarding permission / prohibition determination process, the legitimate act includes legitimate boarding, and the fraudulent act includes unauthorized boarding.

[0116] This point will be described in detail below. The video analysis unit 63 compares the acquired boarding passenger person image information S6h1 with the multiple pieces of entry-time person image information S7h in the person image / ticket information group 45 already stored in the person image storage unit 65. If the boarding passenger person image information S6h1 matches one piece of entry-time person image information S7h among the multiple pieces of entry-time person image information S7h, the video analysis unit 63 outputs a person identifier that is the same as the matching entry-time person image information S7h to the control unit 62. On the other hand, if the boarding passenger person image information S6h1 does not match any of the multiple pieces of entry-time person image information S7h, the video analysis unit 63 outputs a new person identifier to the control unit 62.

[0117] Therefore, if the person identifier obtained from the video analysis unit 63 matches a person identifier already stored in the person image storage unit 65 of the ground server 7, the control unit 62 can use the obtained person identifier to search for the entry person image information S7h corresponding to the matching person identifier in the person image / ticket information group 45 of the person image storage unit 65. This is because, in the sequence shown in Figure 9, the entry person image information S7h obtained by the ground server 7 when the passenger 10 passes through the ticket gate has also been transferred to the person image storage unit 65 of the on-board server 6.

[0118] Then, the control unit 62 acquires the ticket information 4I for the ticket identification number associated with the entry person image information S7h found by the search as the boarding passenger-related ticket information. That is, in the sequence shown in Fig. 9, the ticket information 4I acquired by the ground server 7 when the passenger 10 passes through the ticket gate and identified by the person identifier is acquired on the on-board server 6 as the boarding passenger-related ticket information.

[0119] As a result, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 performs the above-mentioned boarding eligibility determination process based on the boardable mobile body information in the ticket information 4I, which is the passenger-related ticket information acquired in step S202, and can determine whether the passenger 12 is boarding legitimately or illegally.

[0120] In the sequence shown in Figure 9, if the on-board server 6 receives only the entry person image information S7h of a passenger holding a valid ticket from the ground server 7, it can immediately determine that the person is riding illegally if the person identifier obtained by the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 is not found in a search of the person image memory unit 65.

[0121] In addition, if the boarding passenger portrait information S6h1 matches one of the multiple entry time portrait information S7h, the control unit 62 can add the boarding passenger portrait information S6h1 to the entry time portrait information S7h to enrich the content of the entry time portrait information S7h.

[0122] The on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment executes the fraud determination process, including the boarding permission determination process, as a mobile object management function. With regard to the mobile object management function including the fraud determination process, the only action required of passengers is to recognize their tickets upon entry, which is a normal operation when entering the station 19.

[0123] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can automatically determine whether passengers using the group of mobile objects 1 are acting legitimately (regular passengers) or fraudulently (fraudulent passengers) without imposing a burden on the passengers.

[0124] That is, the on-board server 6 executes the boarding permission / denial determination process described above as the fraud determination process. When executing this boarding permission / denial determination process, the only action required of the passenger is to recognize the ticket at the time of entry, which is a normal operation.

[0125] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can automatically determine whether the boarding passenger 12 is riding legitimately or illegitimately in the group of mobile objects 1 without imposing a burden on the passenger.

[0126] In the boarding permission determination process of step S202, if it is determined that the boarding passenger 12 is a legitimate boarding passenger, the process ends without performing the processes of steps S203 to S205. Hereinafter, steps S203 to S205 will be described in the case where it is determined that the boarding passenger 12 is a boarding unauthorized passenger in the boarding permission determination process.

[0127] In step S203, if the control unit 62 determines in step S202 that the passenger has boarded the vehicle illegally, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 executes the boarding denial notification process by outputting audio information S6v and a light emission request S6d from the communication unit 61 to the boarding / alighting door side camera 31c as information instructing the execution of the boarding denial notification process.

[0128] The audio output unit 54 and light emitting unit 55 of the platform side camera 31c are each provided corresponding to the platform 15, and function as a fraudulent boarding information output unit that outputs boarding denial information that can be recognized visually or audibly.

[0129] The control unit 52 of the boarding / alighting door side camera 31c receives audio information S6v and a light emission request S6d from the communication unit 51, and outputs audible audio information indicating that boarding is not permitted from the audio output unit 54 based on the audio information S6v, and outputs visually recognizable light information indicating that boarding is not permitted from the light emission unit 55 based on the light emission request S6d.

[0130] Thus, in step S203, the on-board server 6 executes a boarding denial notification process, which is a process included in the mobile body management function, to output boarding denial information to the audio output unit 54 and light-emitting unit 55 of the boarding / exit side camera 31c, which serves as the unauthorized boarding information output unit.

[0131] In addition, as a remedy in case an error occurs in the boarding permission / non-permission determination process in step S202 due to the influence of the accuracy of the photographing by the boarding / alighting door camera 31c, a legitimate boarding recognition function may be provided in step S203, in which the boarding passenger 12 presents the ticket 4 to the boarding / alighting door camera 31c, and the QR code (registered trademark) on the ticket 4 is recognized.

[0132] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the above-mentioned boarding denial notification process executed in step S203.

[0133] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1 can notify the passenger 12 that he or she is boarding the mobile object group 1 illegally by using the boarding denial information output by the audio output unit 54 and light-emitting unit 55 of the boarding / alighting door side camera 31c, and can urge the passenger 12 to disembark from the mobile object group 1.

[0134] Step S204 is a process performed when the boarding passenger 12 continues to board illegally as a result of the boarding permission determination process after the boarding denial notification process in step S203 is executed.

[0135] 11 is an explanatory diagram that schematically shows an image captured by the platform-side camera 31c in a capturing range 36. As shown in the figure, the entire platform 15 and the floor surface 16 near the platform 15 are included within the capturing range 36. Therefore, when the boarding passenger 12 moves in the movement direction M10, reaches a position where the boarding passenger 12 overlaps with the platform 15, and then disappears from the capturing range 36, it can be recognized that the boarding passenger 12 has disembarked through the platform 15.

[0136] Therefore, if the boarding denial notification process is executed in step S203 and the boarding passenger 12 is not recognized as disembarking from the boarding / alighting gate 15, the result of the boarding permission / denial determination process will be that the boarding passenger 12 continues to board the vehicle illegally.

[0137] Furthermore, even after detecting the departure of the mobile unit group 1 including the mobile unit 1b, if the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 confirms the personal image information of the passengers (seated passenger 11, boarding passenger 12) who have been determined to have boarded the train illegally in the video information from the seat-side camera 31a and the entrance / exit camera 31c, the boarding permission determination process determines that the boarding passenger 12 has continued to board the train illegally. Note that the personal image information includes boarding passenger personal image information S6h1 and seated passenger personal image information S6h2, which will be described later.

[0138] Returning to FIG. 10, step S204 is a process performed when the boarding passenger 12 who was determined to have boarded the train illegally in step S203 continues to board the train.

[0139] In step S204, if the mobile unit group 1 departs while the boarding passenger 12 is still on board, the boarding passenger 12 will continue to board illegally. In this case, under the control of the control unit 62, the on-board server 6 executes a rogue passenger registration process to designate the boarding passenger 12 as a rogue passenger and add a rogue passenger information pair, in which the boarding passenger person profile information S6h1 is associated with the rogue passenger information, to the person profile / ticket information group 45. The mobile unit management function of the on-board server 6 includes this rogue passenger registration process.

[0140] The illicit passenger registration process will be described in detail below. The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 adds illicit riding information (boarding time, boarding station, boarding vehicle type, boarding vehicle number) to the boarding passenger person profile information S6h1 of the boarding passenger 12 determined to be illicit riding, and transfers the person identifier of the illicit riding passenger and video information at the time of illicit riding to the video analysis unit 63 as storage targets. The video analysis unit 63 stores the received person identifier and the boarding passenger video S31c, which serves as video information, in the video storage unit 66. Furthermore, the video analysis unit 63 associates the video number corresponding to the stored video information with the person profile information having the person identifier in the person profile storage unit 65 and stores it, thereby linking the boarding passenger person profile information S6h1 with the illicit riding information.

[0141] Thereafter, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits, from the communication unit 61, audio information S6v instructing the termination of audio output and a light emission request S6d instructing the termination of light emission to the communication unit 51 of the door-side camera 31c.

[0142] The control unit 52 of the entrance / exit side camera 31c terminates audio output from the audio output unit 54 based on audio information S6v instructing the termination of audio output, and terminates the light emission process from the light emission unit 55 based on the light emission request S6d instructing the termination of light emission.

[0143] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits the stored passenger profile information S6h1, fare evasion information, and video information S6i of the fare evader to the ground server 7, and the ground server 7 stores the received information in the profile storage unit 75 and video storage unit 76, synchronizing the data. Specifically, in FIG. 2, for example, if a passenger with personal identifier 1 fare evades (here, an example is given in which only one person committed fare evasion at the same time), the profile information from personal identifier 1 to recording number 1 in the profile storage unit 65 of the on-board server 6 is overwritten with the profile information of the same personal identifier in the profile storage unit 65 of the ground server 7. Furthermore, the video storage unit 66 linked to the personal identifier 1 in the on-board server 6 additionally stores the video storage unit 76 of the ground server 7 with recording number 2 to person identifier 2-1.

[0144] Step S205 shows the processing to be performed when, in step S203, the passenger 12 gets off before the departure of the group of moving objects 1. In step S205, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits, from the communication unit 61, audio information S6v instructing the end of audio output and an emission request S6d instructing the end of emission of light to the communication unit 51 of the door-side camera 31c.

[0145] The control unit 52 of the entrance / exit side camera 31c terminates audio output from the audio output unit 54 based on audio information S6v instructing the termination of audio output, and terminates the light emission process from the light emission unit 55 based on the light emission request S6d instructing the termination of light emission.

[0146] The on-board server 6 in the mobile body management system 101 of embodiment 1 can execute the unauthorized passenger registration process of step S204 included in the mobile body management function to additionally register an unauthorized riding information pair that associates the unauthorized riding information with the passenger profile information S6h1 of the passenger 12 who committed unauthorized riding in the person profile / ticket information group 45 of each of the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7.

[0147] In this way, the mobile object management system 101 that performs the boarding permission determination process, boarding denial notification process, and unauthorized passenger registration process shown in FIG. 10 functions as a boarding management system.

[0148] 12 and 13 are explanatory diagrams showing a sequence relating to passenger seat use in the mobile object management system 101 of Embodiment 1. Fig. 12 and 13 show the sequence between the seated passenger 11, the seat-side camera 31a, the on-board server 6, the movable seat 2M, and the door-side camera 31c.

[0149] The sequence shown in Fig. 12 is a process for warning seated passenger 11 if it is determined that seated passenger 11 is attempting to fraudulently use ticket 4 based on ticket information 4I corresponding to seated passenger profile information S6h2 of seated passenger 11. Fig. 12 also shows a flow for preventing fraudulent seat use by forcing seated passenger 11 to leave the seat by making movable seat 2M unusable if seated passenger 11 continues to use the ticket fraudulently. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 13, if it is determined that ticket 4 is being used legitimately, seat-side camera 31a is made to emit an in-use color so that seated passenger 11 and other passengers can know the seat usage status.

[0150] Referring to FIG. 12, in step S301, a passenger becomes a seated passenger 11 seated in a movable seat 2M of a moving body 1a.

[0151] The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31 a constantly transmits the seated passenger video S 31 a , which is video information captured by the imaging unit 53 , from the communication unit 51 to the on-board server 6 .

[0152] In step S302, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 receives the seated passenger video S31a from the door-side camera 31c via the communication unit 61 and transfers it to the video analysis unit 63.

[0153] The video analysis unit 63 analyzes the received seated passenger video S31a and executes seated passenger image recognition processing to acquire seated passenger image information S6h2 that identifies seated passengers 11 in the seated passenger video S31a. The in-body person image recognition processing includes the above-described seated person image recognition processing, and the in-body person image information S6h includes seated passenger image information S6h2.

[0154] The control unit 62 and the video analysis unit 63 execute the seat availability determination process based on the seated passenger-related ticket information, which is the ticket information 4I associated with the entry person image information S7h that matches the seated passenger person image information S6h2.

[0155] The seat availability determination process is a process for determining whether a seated passenger 11 is using the seat legitimately or fraudulently based on seated passenger-related ticket information, which is ticket information 4I associated with entry person image information S7h that matches seated passenger person image information S6h2.

[0156] The seat availability determination process determines that ticket 4 has been used legitimately if the seated passenger-related ticket information satisfies the usage conditions of movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, and determines that ticket 4 has been used fraudulently if the usage conditions of movable seat 2M are not met. In the fraud determination process, legitimate acts include legitimate use of ticket 4, and fraudulent acts include fraudulent use of ticket 4.

[0157] This point will be described in detail below. The video analysis unit 63 compares the acquired seated passenger person image information S6h2 with the multiple pieces of entry-time person image information S7h in the person image / ticket information group 45 already stored in the person image storage unit 65. If the seated passenger person image information S6h2 matches one piece of entry-time person image information S7h among the multiple pieces of entry-time person image information S7h, the video analysis unit 63 outputs a person identifier that is the same as the matching entry-time person image information S7h to the control unit 62. On the other hand, if the seated passenger person image information S6h2 does not match any of the multiple pieces of entry-time person image information S7h, the video analysis unit 63 outputs a new person identifier to the control unit 62.

[0158] Therefore, if the person identifier obtained from the video analysis unit 63 matches a person identifier already stored in the person image storage unit 65 of the on-board server 6, the control unit 62 can use the obtained person identifier to search for the entrance person image information S7h corresponding to the matching person identifier in the person image / ticket information group 45 of the person image storage unit 65. This is because, in the sequence shown in Figure 9, the entrance person image information S7h obtained by the ground server 7 when the passenger 10 passes through the ticket gate has also been transferred to the person image storage unit 65 of the on-board server 6.

[0159] Then, the control unit 62 acquires the ticket information 4I for the ticket identification number associated with the entry person image information S7h found by the search as seated passenger-related ticket information. That is, in the sequence shown in Fig. 9, the ticket information 4I acquired by the ground server 7 when the passenger 10 passes through the ticket gate and identified by the person identifier is acquired on the on-board server 6 as seated passenger-related ticket information.

[0160] As a result, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 performs the above-mentioned seat availability determination process based on the seated passenger-related ticket information, which is the ticket information 4I acquired in step S302, and can determine whether the seated passenger 11 is using the movable seat 2M legitimately or fraudulently.

[0161] For example, if the ticket 4 is for a reserved seat, the boarding mobile body information of the seated passenger-related ticket information includes seat designation information (car type, seat number, mobile body number, etc.) that identifies the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat. Therefore, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 can execute a seat use availability determination process that determines whether the seated passenger 11 is using the movable seat 2M legitimately or fraudulently, based on the seat designation information included in the boarding mobile body information.

[0162] Figure 14 is a flowchart showing the details of the seat availability determination process in step S202 of Figure 12. The processing contents of the seat availability determination process will be described below with reference to Figure 14. In the following, the person identifier searched in step S202 will be referred to as the searched person identifier, and the ticket information 4I associated with the searched person identifier will be described as seated passenger related ticket information.

[0163] First, in step ST1, the presence or absence of illicit riding information is verified in association with the person image information identified by the search person identifier (entrance person image information S7h, boarding passenger person image information S6h1, seated passenger person image information S6h2).

[0164] If it is determined in step ST1 that information on illegal riding exists (YES), it is determined to be "illegal use" in step ST10 and the processing is terminated; if it is determined in step ST1 that information on illegal riding does not exist (NO), the processing proceeds to step ST2.

[0165] In step ST2, it is verified whether the boarding period indicated in the seated passenger related ticket information is valid (YES) or not (NO). In step ST2, the validity of the date and time of use of the mobile object group 1 is verified.

[0166] If the answer is NO in step ST2, it is determined to be "unauthorized use" in step ST10 and the process ends, and if the answer is YES in step ST2, the process proceeds to step ST3.

[0167] In step ST3, it is verified whether the boarding section indicated in the seated passenger-related ticket information is valid (YES) or not (NO). In step ST3, the validity of the travel section of the moving object group 1 is verified.

[0168] If the answer is NO in step ST3, it is determined to be "unauthorized use" in step ST10 and the process ends, and if the answer is YES in step ST3, the process proceeds to step ST4.

[0169] In step ST4, it is verified whether the vehicle type indicated in the seated passenger-related ticket information matches the moving body group 1 and is valid (YES), or whether it does not match the moving body group 1 and is invalid (NO). Possible vehicle types include "express," "local," etc.

[0170] If the answer is NO in step ST4, it is determined to be "unauthorized use" in step ST10 and the process ends, and if the answer is YES in step ST4, the process proceeds to step ST5.

[0171] In step ST5, it is verified whether the seat sat in is a reserved seat (YES) or an unreserved seat (NO). If the answer is YES in step ST5, the process proceeds to step ST6, and if the answer is NO in step ST5, the process proceeds to step ST8.

[0172] If the answer to step ST5 is YES, step ST6 is executed to verify whether the ticket identified by the seated passenger-related ticket information is a reserved seat ticket (YES) or not (NO). For example, if the seated passenger-related ticket information does not contain seat reservation information, it is determined that the ticket is not a reserved seat ticket.

[0173] If the answer is NO in step ST6, it is determined to be "unauthorized use" in step ST10 and the process ends, and if the answer is YES in step ST6, the process proceeds to step ST7.

[0174] In step ST7, it is verified whether the seat occupied by the seated passenger 11 matches the reserved seat indicated by the seat designation information in the seated passenger-related ticket information (YES) or not (NO). For example, if the seat number indicated by the seat designation information in the seated passenger-related ticket information matches the seat number of the movable seat 2M occupied by the seated passenger, and the identification number of the mobile object group 1 currently aboard matches the mobile object number indicated in the seated passenger-related ticket information, step ST7 is "YES."

[0175] If the answer is NO in step ST7, it is determined to be "illegal use" in step ST10, and the process ends. On the other hand, if the answer is YES in step ST7, it is determined to be "authorized use" in step ST9, and the process ends.

[0176] In step ST8, which is executed if step ST5 is NO, it is verified whether the seat is already occupied (YES) or not (NO) based on the seated passenger-related ticket information. For example, if the seat number of movable seat 2M where seated passenger 11 is seated is indicated as being in use in the seat use information of another passenger's ticket information 4I, it is determined that movable seat 2M is being used by another passenger, and step ST8 is YES.

[0177] In this way, step ST8 is a non-reserved seat eligibility determination process that determines whether the seated passenger 11 is the first passenger to sit in the unused movable seat 2M. This non-reserved seat eligibility determination process determines that the seat is being used legitimately if the seated passenger 11 is the first passenger to sit in the unused movable seat 2M, and determines that the seat is being used fraudulently if the movable seat 2M is in use and the seated passenger 11 is not the first passenger to sit in the unused movable seat 2M.

[0178] If the answer to step ST8 is YES, the result is determined to be "unauthorized use" in step ST10, and the process ends.

[0179] On the other hand, if the answer is NO in step ST8, the process is determined to be "authorized use" in step ST9, and the process ends. In this case, the seat number of the movable seat 2M is registered in the seat use information of the ticket information 4I associated with the boarding passenger 12.

[0180] In this way, the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment executes the fraud determination process, including the seat availability determination process, as a mobile object management function. With regard to the mobile object management function including the fraud determination process, the only action required of passengers is to recognize their tickets upon entry, which is a normal operation when entering the station 19.

[0181] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can automatically determine whether a passenger using the group of mobile objects 1 is engaging in legitimate behavior (authorized use) or fraudulent behavior (fraudulent use) without imposing a burden on the passenger.

[0182] The on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment executes the above-mentioned seat availability determination process as the fraud determination process. When executing this seat availability determination process, the only action required of the passenger is to recognize the ticket at the time of entry, which is a normal operation.

[0183] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can automatically determine whether the passenger has used the ticket 4 legitimately or fraudulently, without imposing a burden on the passenger.

[0184] Furthermore, as shown in steps ST5 to ST7, ST9 and ST10 of Figure 14, when the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, is a reserved seat, a seat availability determination process is executed to determine whether the seated passenger 11 is a valid ticket holder for the movable seat 2M based on the seated passenger-related ticket information.

[0185] The process of determining whether a reserved seat is appropriate is a process that determines that the seated passenger 11 is using the seat properly if he / she is a valid ticket holder for the movable seat 2M, and determines that the seated passenger 11 is using the seat properly if he / she is not a valid ticket holder for the movable seat 2M, based on the seat reservation information in the seated passenger-related ticket information.

[0186] The on-board server 6 in the mobile management system 101 of embodiment 1 can automatically determine whether the seated passenger 11 is using the reserved seat legitimately or fraudulently, without imposing a burden on the seated passenger 11, by executing the above-mentioned reserved seat suitability determination process included in the seat usability determination process.

[0187] On the other hand, as shown in ST5 and ST8 to ST10 in Figure 14, if the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, is an unreserved seat, a seat availability determination process is performed in which, based on ticket information related to the seated passenger, it is determined whether the seated passenger 11 is the first passenger to sit in the unused movable seat 2M.

[0188] This process for determining whether a seat is appropriate for a non-reserved seat determines that the seat is being used legitimately if the seated passenger 11 is the first passenger to sit in the unused movable seat 2M, and determines that the seat is being used fraudulently if the movable seat 2M is in use and the seated passenger 11 is not the first passenger to sit in the unused movable seat 2M.

[0189] The on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1 can automatically determine whether a passenger is using an unreserved seat legitimately or fraudulently, without imposing a burden on the passenger, by executing the unreserved seat suitability determination process included in the seat usability determination process.

[0190] Returning to FIG. 12, the processes shown in steps S303 to S305 are performed when the control unit 62 determines in step S302 that the seat is used improperly through the seat use determination process.

[0191] In step S303, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 executes the unusable notification process by outputting audio information S6v and a light emission request S6d from the communication unit 61 to the seat-side camera 31a as information instructing the execution of the unusable notification process.

[0192] The audio output unit 54 and light emitting unit 55 of the seat-side camera 31a are provided corresponding to the movable seat 2M, and function as a seat occupancy information output unit that outputs unusable information that can be recognized visually or audibly.

[0193] The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a receives audio information S6v and a light emission request S6d from the communication unit 51, and causes the audio output unit 54 to output audible audio information indicating that the device is unusable, based on the audio information S6v, and causes the light emission unit 55 to output visually recognizable light information indicating that the device is unusable, based on the light emission request S6d.

[0194] Thus, in step S303, the on-board server 6 executes a boarding denial notification process, which is a process included in the mobile object management function, and causes the audio output unit 54 and light-emitting unit 55 of the seat-side camera 31a, which serves as the seat occupancy information output unit, to output denial information.

[0195] In addition, as a means of remedying an error in the seat availability determination process in step S302 due to factors such as the accuracy of the photographs taken by the seat-side camera 31a, a legitimate use recognition function may be provided in step S303 in which the seated passenger 11 presents the ticket 4 to the seat-side camera 31a, causing the QR code on the ticket 4 to be recognized.

[0196] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the unusable notification process described above.

[0197] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1 can notify the seated passenger 11 that the ticket 4 is being used fraudulently by outputting unusable information from the audio output unit 54 and light-emitting unit 55 of the seat-side camera 31a, which is the seat usage information output unit, and can urge the seated passenger 11 to leave the movable seat 2M, which is the management seat.

[0198] In step S303, if the seated passenger 11 continues to use the movable seat 2M, that is, if the control unit 62 confirms from the seated passenger image S31a that the seated passenger 11 continues to be seated for a certain period of time, such as about 10 seconds, the process proceeds to step S304.

[0199] In this way, if the seated passenger 11 continues to use the movable seat 2M even after the process of notifying the unavailability of the seat in step S303, the process proceeds to step S304.

[0200] In step S304, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 again executes the unusable notification process by outputting the voice information S6v from the communication unit 61 to the seat-side camera 31a as information instructing the execution of the unusable notification process.

[0201] The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a receives the audio information S6v from the communication unit 51, and causes the audio output unit 54 to output audible audio information indicating that the seat is unusable again, based on the audio information S6v.

[0202] In step S304, after executing the unusable notification process again, the on-board server 6 executes a seat unusable process to set the movable seat 2M to an unusable state. This seat unusable process is included in the mobile object management function of the on-board server 6. For example, the movable seat 2M can be set to an unusable state by folding and fixing the seat portion for sitting.

[0203] In step S304, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits a seat control request S6c instructing "unusable" to the movable seat 2M via the communication unit 61. The control unit 22 of the movable seat 2M operates the movable unit 23 in accordance with the seat control request S6c received from the communication unit 21, and sets the movable seat 2M to the "unusable state."

[0204] In this way, as a mobile object management function, after executing the unavailable notification process in step S303, if the result of the seat availability determination process indicates that unauthorized use continues, the on-board server 6 executes a seat unavailable process to set the movable seat 2M to an "unavailable state."

[0205] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the above-mentioned seat unusability processing.

[0206] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can force the seated passenger 11, who continues to fraudulently use the ticket 4 even after the unusable notification process, to leave the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat.

[0207] In step S304, after the seated passenger 11 is forced to leave his seat, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits voice information S6v instructing "available" from the communication unit 61 to the seat-side camera 31a.

[0208] The audio output unit 54 and light emitting unit 55 of the seat-side camera 31a further output usable information that can be recognized visually or audibly.

[0209] The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a causes the audio output unit 54 to output availability information based on the audio information S6v received from the communication unit 51, thereby notifying the passenger that the seat is available for use.

[0210] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits a seat control request S6c instructing the movable seat 2M to be in an "available state" via the communication unit 61. The control unit 22 of the movable seat 2M operates the movable unit 23 in accordance with the seat control request S6c received from the communication unit 21, and sets the movable seat 2M to be in an "available state."

[0211] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits audio information S6v instructing the end of output and a light emission request S6d to the seat-side camera 31a via the communication unit 61. The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a terminates audio output from the audio output unit 54 based on the audio information S6v received from the communication unit 51. Similarly, based on the light emission request S6d received from the communication unit 51, the control unit 52 terminates light emission from the light-emitting unit 55.

[0212] Step S305 shows the process when the seated passenger 11 quickly leaves his / her seat in step S303.

[0213] In step S305, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits audio information S6v instructing the end of output and a light emission request S6d to the seat-side camera 31a via the communication unit 61. The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a terminates audio output from the audio output unit 54 based on the audio information S6v received from the communication unit 51. Similarly, based on the light emission request S6d received from the communication unit 51, the control unit 52 terminates light emission from the light-emitting unit 55.

[0214] Steps S306 to S308 shown in FIG. 13 are processes performed when the control unit 62 determines in step S302 that the card is being used "authorizedly."

[0215] In step S306, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 sends a light emission request S6d indicating "regular use" to the seat-side camera 31a from the communication unit 61, and stores the mobile unit number and seat number of the occupied movable seat 2M as "in use" in the seat use information of the ticket information memory unit 64.

[0216] The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a causes the light-emitting unit 55 to emit light in an in-use color in accordance with the light-emitting request S6d received from the communication unit 51, thereby indicating to all passengers, including the seated passenger 11, that the seat is in proper use.

[0217] The following processing can be considered as an exceptional processing of step S306: If a passenger who previously occupied a different seat takes a seat in a different seat, the previous seat occupancy information is updated to "unoccupied," and the light-emitting unit 55 of the seat-side camera 31a corresponding to the previous seat stops emitting the in-occupancy color, making the seat available for reuse.

[0218] In this way, the light emitting unit 55, which is a seat occupancy information output unit, further outputs occupancy information that can be visually recognized.

[0219] If the result of the seat availability determination process is "authorized use," the on-board server 6 executes an in-use notification process that causes the seat-side camera 31a to output in-use information. This in-use notification process is included in the mobile object management function.

[0220] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the in-use notification process described above.

[0221] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can notify all passengers in the mobile object 1a, including the seated passenger 11, that the seated passenger 11 is using the ticket properly.

[0222] Although FIG. 13 shows a configuration in which the light-emitting unit 55 outputs in-use information that can be visually recognized, a configuration in which the audio output unit 54 outputs in-use information that can be audibly recognized may also be adopted.

[0223] Step S307 shows the process when the seated passenger 11 leaves his / her seat and gets off the train midway through step S306.

[0224] In step S307, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 analyzes the passenger video S31c received from the boarding / alighting door camera 31c, and if the passenger who disembarked from the moving body 1c disembarked before arriving at the destination from the boarding section of the ticket information 4I corresponding to the passenger profile information S6h1, it determines that the passenger disembarked along the way and starts the end-of-use process.

[0225] The end-of-use process checks the seat usage information corresponding to the ticket information 4I, and if there is a seat in use, sends a light emission request S6d to the seat-side camera 31a corresponding to the seat in use to instruct it to "end," and updates the seat in use information to indicate it is not in use.

[0226] The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a stops the light emission of the light-emitting unit 55 in accordance with the received light emission request S6d.

[0227] When a seated passenger 11 who is using the seat legitimately gets off midway, the on-board server 6 executes a use termination process to stop the emission of the in-use information from the light-emitting unit 55, which is the seat use information output unit. This use termination process is included in the mobile object management function.

[0228] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the above-mentioned use termination process that is executed when a seated passenger 11 who has been using the vehicle legitimately gets off midway.

[0229] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can cause the audio output unit 54, which is a seat occupancy information output unit, to output audio of the available space information only during an appropriate period.

[0230] Step S308 shows the process when the seated passenger 11 arrives at the destination in step S306. The ticket information 4I includes destination information that indicates the destination as a boarding section.

[0231] The audio output unit 54 of the seat-side camera 31a is provided corresponding to the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, and also functions as an arrival information output unit that outputs destination arrival information that can be recognized audibly.

[0232] In step S308, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 can accurately determine the destination arrival time at which the vehicle will arrive at the destination indicated by the destination information by using the arrival time determination function based on the ticket information 4I, which is seated passenger-related ticket information, and the mobile object location information recognized by the mobile object location recognition function of the communication unit 61. Therefore, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 recognizes the destination notification period, which is a time period based on the destination arrival time determined by the arrival time determination function, and executes destination arrival notification processing to cause the audio output unit 54, which serves as the arrival information output unit, to output destination arrival information during the destination notification period.

[0233] The destination notification period may be a period from a pre-destination arrival time, which is a reference time before the destination arrival time determined by the arrival time determination function of the control unit 62, to the destination arrival time.

[0234] The on-board server 6 analyzes the seated passenger video S31a received from the seat-side camera 31a, and can recognize the destination arrival time from the boarding section of the ticket information 4I corresponding to the person image identifier of the seated passenger 11.

[0235] Therefore, during the destination notification period, the on-board server 6 transmits audio information S6v to the seat-side camera 31a to instruct it to output destination arrival information. In response to the received audio information S6v, the control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a outputs the destination arrival information from the audio output unit 54, thereby notifying the seated passenger 11 that they are scheduled to arrive at their destination.

[0236] In this way, after executing the in-use notification process, the on-board server 6 accurately determines the destination arrival time at the destination indicated by the destination information in the ticket information 4I using the arrival time determination function based on the seated passenger-related ticket information (ticket information 4I) and the mobile object position information, and then recognizes the destination notification period, which is a time period based on the destination arrival time.The on-board server 6 then executes destination arrival notification process, which causes the audio output unit 54, which is the arrival information output unit, to output destination arrival information during the destination notification period.This destination arrival notification process is included in the mobile object management function.

[0237] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the destination arrival notification process described above.

[0238] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can notify the seated passenger 11 who is using the ticket 4 in a legitimate manner that the scheduled time of arrival at the destination is approaching.

[0239] Although FIG. 13 shows a configuration in which destination arrival information that can be audibly recognized is output by the audio output unit 54, a configuration in which destination arrival information that can be visually recognized is output by the light-emitting unit 55 may also be adopted.

[0240] Thereafter, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 confirms from the seated passenger video S31a that the seated passenger 11 has left the movable seat 2M, and when it determines that the seated passenger 11 has arrived at the destination by the arrival determination function using the mobile object position information, it executes the use termination process. Note that the analysis process of the seated passenger 11's action of leaving the movable seat 2M based on the seated passenger video S31a is performed by the video analysis unit 63.

[0241] The end-of-use process is a process of sending audio information S6v and a light emission request S6d to the seat-side camera 31a to instruct it to end output, and updating the occupied seat in the seat usage information corresponding to the ticket information 4I of the seated passenger 11 to an unused seat.

[0242] The control unit 52 of the seat side camera 31a terminates audio output from the audio output unit 54 based on the audio information S6v received from the communication unit 51, and terminates light emission from the light emitting unit 55 based on the light emission request S6d received from the communication unit 51.

[0243] After executing the destination arrival notification process, the on-board server 6 recognizes from the seated passenger video S31a that the seated passenger 11 has left the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, and if the arrival at the destination is determined by the arrival presence / absence determination function, it executes use termination process to stop output of usable information by the audio output unit 54 and light-emitting unit 55, which are seat use information output units. This use termination process is included in the mobile object management function.

[0244] The mobile object management function of the on-board server 6 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment further includes the above-mentioned use termination process when the passenger gets off at the destination.

[0245] Therefore, the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can cause the audio output unit 54 and light emitting unit 55 of the seat-side camera 31a, which is the seat occupancy information output unit, to output the availability information only during an appropriate period.

[0246] Furthermore, the use termination process can also be performed when the seated passenger 11 takes a seat in another seat and it is determined that the other seat is available for use.

[0247] The mobile object management system 101, which performs the seat availability determination process, the unavailable notification process, the available notification process, the destination arrival notification process, and the end of use process shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, functions as a seat management system.

[0248] The sequences shown in Figures 12 and 13 are merely examples, and it is also possible to prevent unauthorized use of seats and make effective use of seats using methods similar to the above steps.

[0249] For example, if a passenger who is already using a seat places his / her baggage on the seat next to him / her, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 may consider the placement of the baggage to be an unauthorized use of the seat and follow the same procedures as steps S303 and S304. A variant of the mobile management system 101 that has the function of preventing baggage from monopolizing the seat next to him / her may be considered.

[0250] In a modified example of the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1, the entry person image information S7h obtained by analyzing the entry passenger image S39 includes personal belongings information that identifies the belongings held by the passenger in the entry passenger image S39 as passenger-related belongings.

[0251] That is, in the modified example of the mobile object management system 101, the seated passenger 11 includes passenger-related belongings placed on the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat.

[0252] In the above-described modified example of the mobile object management system 101, the entry person image information S7h includes belongings information that identifies belongings held by the passenger in the entry passenger image S39 as passenger-related belongings.

[0253] Therefore, the modified example of the mobile management system 101 can automatically determine whether a ticket is being used legitimately or fraudulently when passenger-related belongings are placed on the movable seat 2M, which is a management seat, without imposing any burden on the passenger.

[0254] In addition, if a passenger with a reserved seat number does not use that seat and instead uses another unreserved seat, the seat number on the passenger's ticket can be treated the same as that of an unreserved seat, and the passenger with the unreserved seat ticket can be prevented from being judged as having used the ticket fraudulently even when they sit down.

[0255] Fig. 15 is an explanatory diagram that schematically shows the procedure in which a passenger 10 passes through a ticket gate 9 and exits a station 19 in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment. Fig. 15 shows the sequence between the passenger 10, the ticket 4, the ticket gate-side camera 39X at the time of exit, the ticket gate 9, and the ground server 7. In the sequence shown in Fig. 15, the ticket gate-side camera 39X at the time of exit is not substantially involved.

[0256] The sequence shown in FIG. 15 shows the flow of blocking the ticket gate 9 based on the ticket information 4I acquired in response to the ticket recognition operation at the time of exit.

[0257] If the ticket information related to the boarding passenger is recognized when the passenger authenticity determination process is executed, it can be verified whether or not the boarding passenger profile information S6h1 linked to the ticket information related to the seated passenger is associated with fraudulent boarding information.

[0258] In step S401, when the passenger 10 leaves the station 19, the passenger 10 performs a ticket recognition operation at the time of exit, such as holding the ticket 4 over the ticket recognition area of ​​the ticket gate 9.

[0259] In response to the aforementioned exit ticket recognition operation performed by the passenger 10 when exiting the station 19, the ticket gate 9 acquires ticket information 4I regarding the ticket 4 as exit ticket information, and transmits the ticket information 4I that becomes the exit ticket information to the ground server 7.

[0260] Furthermore, in response to the exit ticket recognition operation, the ticket gate 9 is set to an "exit passing state" in which the passenger 10 can pass through, or an "exit blocked state" in which the passenger cannot pass through.

[0261] In step S402, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 executes passenger authenticity determination processing to determine whether the passenger is fraudulent or legitimate, based on the ticket information 4I that serves as ticket information at the time of exit.

[0262] The passenger authenticity determination process is a process in which if a pair of illegal riding information is registered in the person image / ticket information group 45, which associates the boarding passenger person image information S6h1 associated with ticket information 4I, which is ticket information at the time of exit, with illegal riding information, the passenger is determined to be an illegal passenger, and if not, the passenger is determined to be a legitimate passenger.

[0263] That is, the control unit 72 executes the passenger authenticity determination process based on the presence or absence of a rogue ride information pair in which the boarding passenger person profile information S6h1 and rogue ride information are associated with each other in the person profile / ticket information group 45. Note that a legitimate passenger is a passenger who has boarded a train legitimately, and a rogue passenger is a passenger who has boarded a train fraudulently.

[0264] In this way, the passenger authenticity determination process performed by the mobile management system 101 of embodiment 1 refers to the person profile / ticket information group 45 in which the fraudulent boarding information pair is registered, and determines whether the passenger is fraudulent or legitimate based on the ticket information at the time of exit.

[0265] Step S403 is a process performed when the passenger is determined to be a "fraudulent passenger" in the passenger authenticity determination process of step S402.

[0266] In step S403, the ground server 7 transmits a block request S7x instructing the "exit blocked state" to the ticket gate 9. In accordance with the received block request S7x, the ticket gate 9 closes the opening / closing section 93, thereby entering the exit blocked state.

[0267] In this way, when the result of the passenger authenticity determination process in step S402 is an "unauthorized passenger," the ground server 7 executes blocking processing to set the ticket gate 9 to an exit-blocked state. This blocking processing is included in the mobile object management function.

[0268] The ground server 7 of the mobile body management system 101 of embodiment 1 executes the passenger authenticity determination process and blocking process included in the mobile body management function, thereby preventing a passenger 10 who has boarded a train illegally from passing through the ticket gate 9 even if the passenger 10 performs the ticket recognition operation at the time of exit, thereby preventing the passenger 10 from boarding a train illegally.

[0269] 16 and 17 are explanatory diagrams showing a sequence in which station staff 20 uses monitoring terminal 8 in mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1. Fig. 16 and 17 show a sequence between passenger 10, monitoring terminal 8, ground server 7, and exit ticket gate side camera 39X.

[0270] Figures 16 and 17 show the flow of operations when a passenger who has boarded the train illegally is unable to pass because the ticket gate 9 is set to a blocked state at the time of exit, and a station staff member 20 views the passenger video S39X at the time of exit taken by the ticket gate side camera 39X at the time of exit or the recorded video of the passenger who boarded the train illegally that is stored in the video memory unit 76 of the ground server 7.

[0271] The exit ticket gate side camera 39X photographs the passenger 10 who has performed the ticket recognition operation at the time of exiting, and acquires the video of the passenger at the time of exiting. The exit ticket gate side camera 39X is, for example, located above the ticket recognition area of ​​the ticket gate 9, and photographs the passenger 10 who has performed the ticket recognition operation at the time of exiting. The exit ticket gate side camera 39X is preferably positioned so that facial recognition of the passenger 10 can be performed when photographing. The entrance ticket gate side camera 39 may also serve as the exit ticket gate side camera 39X.

[0272] The ground server 7 is connected to the exit ticket gate side camera 39X via a communication line CL. Therefore, the exit passenger video S39X captured by the exit ticket gate side camera 39X is transmitted to the ground server 7 via the communication line CL.

[0273] In step S501, the station staff member 20 presses the video switching button 86 on the screen section 83 of the monitoring terminal 8 to select the video that the station staff member 20 wishes to view.

[0274] Step S502 shows the process when the video selected in step S501 is the exiting passenger video S39X taken by the exiting ticket gate side camera 39X.

[0275] In step S502, the control unit 82 of the monitoring terminal 8 transmits a data acquisition request S8d requesting acquisition of the exiting passenger video S39X to the ground server 7 via the communication unit 81. The video analysis unit 73 of the ground server 7 analyzes the exiting passenger video S39X received from the exiting ticket gate side camera 39X, and acquires exiting person image information S7L that identifies the passenger in the exiting passenger video S39X.

[0276] If there is entry person image information S7h that matches the exit person image information S7L in the person image / ticket information group 45 stored in the person image memory unit 75, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 executes a ticket information acquisition process to acquire ticket information 4I (exiting passenger related ticket information) associated with the matching entry person image information S7h as exiting passenger related information S40.

[0277] Furthermore, when there is in-vehicle person image information S6h that matches the exiting person image information S7L in the person image / ticket information group 45 stored in the person image storage unit 75, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 acquires the video information, fraud information, etc. associated with the matching in-vehicle person image information S6h as exiting passenger-related information S40. Note that the in-vehicle person image information S6h includes boarding passenger person image information S6h1 and seated passenger person image information S6h2, and the fraud information includes fraudulent boarding information and fraudulent use information.

[0278] In addition, the fraudulent information of at least the passengers who have committed fraudulent boarding, which is included in the person image / ticket information group 45 in the person image memory unit 65 of the on-board server 6, is transferred to the person image memory unit 75 of the ground server 7 via the communication line CL.

[0279] The ground server 7 generates person frame information S45, which is video information that can identify whether or not a person has boarded the train illegally, based on the exiting person image information S7L and the exiting passenger-related information S40, and transmits the person frame information S45 and ticket information 4I (exiting passenger-related ticket information) from the communication unit 71 to the monitoring terminal 8. This person frame information S45 becomes video information based on the exiting person image information S7L.

[0280] The monitoring terminal 8 displays the video information with a person image frame on the video information display screen 84 based on the person image frame information S45 transmitted from the ground server 7. In this way, the monitoring terminal 8 has a video display function for displaying the video information with a person image frame, which is an image based on the exiting person image information S7L.

[0281] Here, when the station staff 20 presses the person image frame 85 displayed on the video information display screen 84, the monitoring terminal 8 displays the ticket information related to the departing passenger, which is the ticket information 4I linked to the person image specified by the person image frame 85, on the ticket information display screen 87. Furthermore, by sorting the selected video of the video switching button 86 on the monitoring terminal 8, it is possible to prioritize and display on the video information display screen 84 the recorded video linked to the person image frame 85 (exiting person image information S7L) from the video information group 46 stored in the video memory unit 76 of the ground server 7.

[0282] In this way, the monitoring terminal 8 has an image display function for displaying a person image frame 85, which is an image based on the exiting person image information S7L, and a ticket display function for displaying ticket information 4I, which is ticket information related to the exiting passenger.

[0283] By having the station staff 20 carry the monitoring terminal 8 of the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1, it is possible to display on the screen 83 of the monitoring terminal 8 an image based on the exiting person image information S7L relating to the passenger who performed the ticket recognition operation at the time of exiting, and ticket information 4I which is ticket information relating to the exiting passenger, thereby making it relatively easy to check whether the passenger has boarded a train normally or illegally.

[0284] Step S503 shows the process when the video selected in step S501 is a recorded video stored as the video information group 46 in the video storage unit 76 of the terrestrial server 7.

[0285] In addition, the video information of at least the passenger who committed the illegal ride, which is included in the video information group 46 in the video storage unit 66 of the on-board server 6, is transferred to the person image storage unit 75 of the ground server 7 via the communication line CL.

[0286] The control unit 82 of the monitoring terminal 8 transmits a data acquisition request S8d requesting acquisition of the specified recorded video to the ground server 7 via the communication unit 81. In response to the received data acquisition request S8d, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 analyzes the specified recorded video and executes exit person image recognition processing to acquire recorded video person image information S7Y that identifies the passenger in the recorded image.

[0287] If there are multiple recorded videos stored in the video memory unit 76 of the ground server 7, the station staff 20 can visually inspect the passenger who is blocked from passing through the ticket gate 9 that is set to a blocked state when exiting, and can prioritize and select the recorded video in which the passenger's appearance (face, belongings, clothing, etc.) is similar to that of the passenger.

[0288] If there is entry person image information S7h that matches the recorded video person image information S7Y in the person image / ticket information group 45 stored in the person image memory unit 75, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 acquires the ticket information 4I associated with the matching entry person image information S7h as recorded passenger related information S40r.

[0289] Furthermore, if there is in-vehicle person image information S6h that matches the recorded video person image information S7Y in the person image / ticket information group 45 stored in the person image memory unit 75, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 acquires the video information, fraud information, etc. associated with the matching in-vehicle person image information S6h as recorded passenger-related information S40r.

[0290] The ground server 7 generates person frame information S45Y, which is video information that can identify whether or not a person has boarded a train illegally, based on the recorded video person image information S7Y and the recorded passenger-related information S40r, and transmits the person frame information S45Y and ticket information 4I to the monitoring terminal 8 via the communication unit 71. This person frame information S45Y becomes video information based on the recorded video person image information S7Y.

[0291] The monitoring terminal 8 displays the video information with a person image frame on the video information display screen 84 based on the person image frame information S45Y transmitted from the terrestrial server 7. In this way, the monitoring terminal 8 has a video display function for displaying the video information with a person image frame, which is video based on the recorded video person image information S7Y.

[0292] Furthermore, similar to step S502, the station staff 20 can operate the monitoring terminal 8 to display the ticket information 4I included in the recorded passenger-related information S40r on the monitoring terminal.

[0293] (On-board server 6 and ground server 7) The servers in the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment include an on-board server 6 which is a station-side server installed in a station 19, and a ground server 7 which is an in-vehicle server installed in a mobile object 1b of the mobile object group 1.

[0294] The ground server 7, which is a station-side server, and the on-board server 6, which is a server inside the vehicle, are connected via a communication line CL, and at least passenger images S39 at the time of entry, passenger images S31 inside the vehicle (seated passenger images S31a, boarding passenger images S31c), and ticket information 4I are exchanged between the ground server 7 and the on-board server 6.

[0295] The server in the mobile object management system 101 of the present disclosure includes a ground server 7, which is a station-side server, and an on-board server 6, which is an in-vehicle server, which are connected to each other via a communication line CL, so that fraud determination processing can be performed smoothly even in a group of mobile objects 1 that travel long distances, such as trains. The fraud determination processing includes a seat availability determination processing and a boarding eligibility determination processing.

[0296] The configuration described above in the first embodiment is merely an example of the contents of the present disclosure, and it is possible to combine it with other known techniques. Furthermore, it is also possible to omit or change part of the configuration without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.

[0297] The mobile object management system 101 of the above-mentioned embodiment 1 takes into consideration the case of unreserved seats for which seat information is not included in the ticket information 4I, and is configured to be able to monitor passengers while boarding using the seat-side camera 31a and the door-side camera 31c, which serve as surveillance cameras, in order to link the ticket information 4I with the passenger's in-vehicle person image information S6h.

[0298] The mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment can prevent passengers from boarding trains illegally and forcibly prevent the fraudulent use of seats, including unreserved seats. An operating company that employs the mobile object management system 101 can collect fair fares from passengers who board trains illegally, which has the effect of improving the satisfaction of passengers who use unreserved seats. It can also reduce labor costs for checking tickets for fraudulent activities.

[0299] <Embodiment 2> 18 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating the configuration of a mobile object management system 102 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobile object management system 102 manages the actions of passengers who enter and exit a station 19 and use a group of mobile objects 1, and, like the mobile object management system 101 according to the first embodiment, has both the functions of a seat management system and a boarding management system.

[0300] As shown in the figure, the mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment includes a ticket gate installation area 191, a ground server 7, a monitoring terminal 8, and a group of mobile objects 1 as main components.

[0301] In the mobile object management system 101 of the first embodiment, a method for forcibly eliminating unauthorized use of seats is shown using movable seats 2M. In the mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment, fixed seats 2S that are fixedly set to an available state are used instead of movable seats 2M. The fixed seats 2S may also be seats that can always be manually set to an available state.

[0302] The mobile object management system 102 of embodiment 2 can be configured to eliminate the need to force passengers to leave their seats in the event of unauthorized seat use by reducing the number of movable seats 2M, but instead records information about the unauthorized use and footage of the unauthorized use of seats, just as in the case of unauthorized boarding, so that passengers can be apprehended when they leave the station 19.

[0303] Hereinafter, the same configurations and operations as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 17 will be denoted by the same reference numerals and omitted as appropriate, and the description will focus on the features of the mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment.

[0304] 18, the movable seat 2M provided in the vehicle 1a is replaced with a fixed seat 2S. The fixed seat 2S is a general seat that cannot be controlled from an external device, and unlike the first embodiment, it cannot be communicated with or controlled by the on-board server 6.

[0305] 19 and 20 are explanatory diagrams showing a sequence relating to passenger seat use in the mobile object management system 102 of embodiment 2. Fig. 19 and 20 show the sequence between the seated passenger 11, the seat-side camera 31a, the on-board server 6, the ground server 7, and the door-side camera 31c.

[0306] The sequences shown in Figures 19 and 20 are processes for warning seated passengers 11 if it is determined that the seated passenger 11 is attempting to fraudulently use the ticket 4 based on the ticket information 4I corresponding to the seated passenger image information S6h2 for the seated passenger 11. Figures 19 and 20 also show a process for storing, in the on-board server 6 and the ground server 7, information indicating fraudulent use in the seated passenger image information S6h2 if the seated passenger 11 continues to use the ticket fraudulently, and for storing video information of the fraudulent use linked to the seated passenger image information S6h2. Figures 19 and 20 also show a process for causing the seat-side camera 31a to emit an in-use color if it is determined that the ticket 4 is being used legitimately, so that the seated passenger 11 and other passengers can know the seat usage status.

[0307] In Figures 19 and 20, steps S601 to S603 and steps S605 to S608 are similar to steps S301 to S303 and steps S305 to S308 in Figures 12 and 13 described in the mobile object management system 101 of embodiment 1, so their explanation will be omitted.

[0308] Step S604 is a process that is carried out when, in step S603, the passenger continues to use the seat and the measurement time of the fraudulent use warning timer expires, that is, when the control unit 62 confirms from the seated passenger image S31a that the seated passenger 11 continues to remain seated for a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds).

[0309] In step S604, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 adds the time of fraud, the type of vehicle in which the passenger is riding, the seat number, and the vehicle number in which the passenger is riding as fraudulent use information to the seated passenger image information S6h2 that has been determined to be ``fraudulent use,'' and transfers the person identifier of the seated passenger image information S6h2 that has been determined to be fraudulent use and the video information at the time of fraudulent use to the video analysis unit 63 as items to be saved.

[0310] The video analysis unit 63 stores the received person identifier and video information as a video information group 46, and also stores the recording number corresponding to the stored video information in a person image / ticket information group 45 having the person identifier in the person image storage unit 65, thereby associating the video information with the person image information.

[0311] In this way, in step S604, after executing the unusable notification process, if the fraudulent use continues as a result of the seat availability determination process, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 executes a fraudulent passenger registration process to designate the seated passenger 11 as a fraudulent passenger and add a fraudulent use information pair in which the fraudulent use information is associated with the seated passenger person profile information S6h2 to the person profile / ticket information group 45. This fraudulent passenger registration process is included in the mobile object management function.

[0312] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits audio information S6v indicating that a fraudulent use has been recorded and a light emission request S6d indicating that fraudulent use is currently occurring to the seat-side camera 31a via the communication unit 61. The control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a performs a fraudulent use record notification by outputting the fraudulent use record information from the audio output unit 54 based on the audio information S6v received from the communication unit 51. Furthermore, the control unit 52 causes the light emission unit 55 to emit light in a color indicating fraudulent use in accordance with the light emission request S6d received from the communication unit 51, thereby notifying the seated passenger 11 that fraudulent use is currently occurring.

[0313] Since continuing to output the audio notification of the unauthorized use record would be a nuisance to surrounding passengers, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 sends audio information S6v instructing the seat-side camera 31a to end the audio output from the communication unit 61, and the control unit 52 of the seat-side camera 31a ends the audio output from the audio output unit 54 based on the audio information S6v received from the communication unit 51. However, it is not necessary to end the audio output so as to also draw the attention of surrounding passengers.

[0314] The control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 transmits the person image information S6h2 of the seated passenger who committed the fraudulent use, the fraudulent use information, and the video information S6i to the ground server 7, and the ground server 7 stores the information received from the on-board server 6 in the person image memory unit 75 and the video memory unit 76, and synchronizes the data.

[0315] That is, the seated passenger person image information S6h2, the fraudulent use information, and the video information S6i of the seated passenger 11 who committed the fraudulent use are also synchronously transferred to the ground server 7. The synchronization method is the same as that shown in FIG.

[0316] In the first embodiment, the fraud information and video information in FIGS. 2 and 15 to 17 are directed to cases of fraudulent riding, but in the second embodiment, they are directed to cases of both fraudulent riding and fraudulent use.

[0317] The on-board server 6 of the mobile object management system 102 of embodiment 2 can register a fraudulent use information pair in the person image / ticket information group 45 by executing the fraudulent use passenger registration process provided in the mobile object management function, which associates the fraudulent use information with the seated passenger person image information S6h2 of the passenger who committed the fraudulent use.

[0318] For this reason, in the mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment, steps S402 and S403 of FIG. 15 shown in the first embodiment are performed as follows.

[0319] In step S402, the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 executes passenger authenticity determination processing to determine whether the passenger is fraudulent or legitimate, based on the ticket information 4I that serves as ticket information at the time of exit.

[0320] The passenger authenticity determination process determines that the passenger is an unauthorized passenger if the following first or second case applies.

[0321] The first case is when a pair of illegal riding information is registered in the person image / ticket information group 45, in which passenger person image information S6h1 linked to ticket information 4I, which is ticket information at the time of exit, is associated with illegal riding information.

[0322] The second case is when a pair of fraudulent use information is registered in the person image / ticket information group 45, in which seated passenger person image information S6h2 linked to ticket information 4I, which is ticket information at the time of exit, is associated with fraudulent use information.

[0323] Then, in the passenger authenticity determination process, if neither the first nor second case applies, it is determined that the passenger is an authorized passenger.

[0324] In this way, the passenger authenticity determination process executed by the mobile management system 102 of embodiment 2 refers to the person profile / ticket information group 45 in which the fraudulent boarding information pair or fraudulent use information pair is registered, and determines whether the passenger is fraudulent or legitimate based on the ticket information at the time of exit.

[0325] Therefore, a legitimate passenger is a passenger who has boarded the train and used it legitimately, and an unauthorized passenger is a passenger who has boarded the train fraudulently or used it fraudulently.

[0326] In step S403, the ground server 7 transmits a block request S7x instructing the "exit blocked state" to the ticket gate 9. In accordance with the received block request S7x, the ticket gate 9 closes the opening / closing section 93, thereby entering the exit blocked state.

[0327] As described above, in the mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment, when the determination result of the passenger authenticity determination process in step S402 is "illegal passenger," the ground server 7 executes blocking process to set the ticket gate 9 to a blocked state at the time of exit. This blocking process is included in the mobile object management function.

[0328] As in the first embodiment, the ground server 7 of the mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment executes the passenger authenticity determination process and blocking process in the first case described above, which are included in the mobile object management function, thereby preventing the passenger 10 who has boarded the train illegally from passing through the ticket gate 9 even if they perform the ticket recognition operation at the time of exit, thereby preventing the passenger 10 from boarding the train illegally.

[0329] Furthermore, the ground server 7 of the mobile object management system 102 of embodiment 2 executes the passenger authenticity determination process and blocking process in the second case described above, which are included in the mobile object management function, thereby preventing a passenger 10 who has committed fraudulent use from passing through the ticket gate 9 even if they perform the ticket recognition operation at the time of exit, thereby preventing fraudulent use by passengers 10.

[0330] The configuration shown in the second embodiment above is an example of the contents of the present disclosure, and it is possible to combine it with other known techniques. Furthermore, it is also possible to omit or change part of the configuration without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.

[0331] The mobile object management system 102 of the second embodiment described above does not require the movable seats 2M, and therefore cannot forcibly prevent seat use as in the second embodiment, but has the effect of reducing the installation costs of the movable seats 2M and the development costs of the on-board server 6 required for controlling the movable seats 2M. Furthermore, as described above, there are also effects unique to the second embodiment.

[0332] <Processing circuit> Fig. 21 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a processing circuit 900 corresponding to the control units of the components shown in the mobile object management system 101 and the mobile object management system 102 of embodiment 2. The control units include the control unit 22 of the movable seat 2M shown in Fig. 3, the control unit 52 of the surveillance camera 35 shown in Fig. 4, the control unit 92 of the ticket gate 9 shown in Fig. 5, the control unit 62 of the on-board server 6 and the control unit 72 of the ground server 7 shown in Fig. 6, and the control unit 82 of the monitoring terminal 8 shown in Fig. 7. The surveillance camera 35 includes a seat-side camera 31a, a boarding / alighting door-side camera 31c, an entrance ticket gate-side camera 39, and an exit ticket gate-side camera 39X.

[0333] The function of the control unit is realized by a processing circuit 900 shown in Fig. 21. That is, the processing circuit 900 functions as a circuit that sends and receives data via a bus 950.

[0334] When the processing circuit 900 is dedicated hardware, the processing circuit 900 is, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or a circuit that combines these. The functions of the control unit described above may be realized individually by multiple processing circuits, or may be realized collectively by a single processing circuit.

[0335] 22 is a block diagram showing another example of the configuration of a processing circuit corresponding to the control unit. As shown in the figure, the processing circuit 900 includes a processor 910, a memory 920, and a bus 960 that serves as a data transfer path between the processor 910 and the memory 920.
