AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing private room monitoring systems, such as toilet management systems, fail to effectively detect unauthorized use while protecting privacy, leading to potential misuse and congestion.
Method used
A control device that integrates a LiDAR system to detect the presence of objects within a predetermined area for a specified time period after locking, combined with seating detection, to identify unauthorized use by outputting a signal when a predetermined shape, like a smartphone, is present for an extended duration.
Benefits of technology
Effectively detects unauthorized use of private rooms by suppressing false alarms and protecting privacy, allowing for timely intervention to manage congestion.

Abstract
The present invention provides a control device, program, and private room monitoring system that can detect the misuse of private rooms while protecting privacy. [Solution] A control device 20 receives a locking signal from a lock detection device 35 that detects the locking of private room 2, and point cloud data output from a LiDAR device 10 that detects the state inside private room 2. The control device outputs a predetermined signal when a first predetermined period has elapsed since the locking signal was input, and an object of a predetermined shape, such as a smartphone SP, is located in a predetermined region MA1 in the point cloud data for a second predetermined period or longer.
