DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Prior to describing the embodiments of the present disclosure, an overview of the present disclosure will be described. Fig. 1 schematically shows a reporting system according to the present disclosure. The reporting system 10 includes a reporting device 20 and a camera 30. The camera 30 captures images of the interior of a vehicle. The reporting device 20 is a device that issues a report when a person to be monitored is left inside the vehicle in which the camera 30 is installed.

[0013] The notification device 20 has a person information acquisition means 21, a determination means 22, and a notification means 23. The person information acquisition means 21 acquires person information of a person inside the vehicle from an interior image acquired by the camera 30. The determination means 22 determines whether or not the person inside the vehicle is a person to be monitored, based on the person information acquired by the person information acquisition means 21. When the determination means 22 determines that the person inside the vehicle is a person to be monitored, the notification means 23 reports that a person is inside the vehicle.

[0014] In the present disclosure, the person information acquisition means 21 acquires person information of a person inside the vehicle from an image of the vehicle interior. The determination means 22 determines whether or not the person inside the vehicle is a person to be monitored based on the acquired person information. The notification means 23 issues a notification when it is determined that the person inside the vehicle is a person to be monitored. In this manner, the notification device 20 can issue a notification when the person inside the vehicle is a person to be monitored, and can suppress notifications depending on the person inside the vehicle.

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description and drawings have been omitted and simplified as appropriate for clarity of explanation. In addition, in the following drawings, the same or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations are omitted as necessary.

[0016] FIG. 2 shows a notification system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The notification system 100 includes a notification device 110 and a camera 130. The camera 130 is mounted on a vehicle and captures images of the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle is a moving object such as a passenger car, a taxi, or a van. The camera 130 is installed, for example, between the driver's seat and the passenger seat in a position that allows a view of the entire interior of the vehicle. Note that the number of cameras 130 in the notification system 100 is not limited to one. The notification system 100 may include multiple cameras 130 arranged in one vehicle. The notification system 100 corresponds to the notification system 10 shown in FIG. 1. The camera 130 corresponds to the camera 30 shown in FIG. 1.

[0017] The notification device 110 is a device for reporting the presence of an occupant in a vehicle when the occupant to be monitored is left behind inside the vehicle equipped with the camera 130. The notification device 110 has an image acquisition unit 111, an occupant detection unit 112, a person information acquisition unit 113, a determination unit 114, a notification unit 115, an exit detection unit 116, and a vehicle information acquisition unit 117. The notification device 110 is configured as a device including, for example, one or more processors and one or more memories. At least a part of the function of each unit in the notification device 110 can be realized by the processor performing processing in accordance with a program read from the memory. The notification device 110 corresponds to the notification device 20 shown in FIG. 1.

[0018] The image acquisition unit 111 acquires an interior video (interior image) captured by the camera 130. The occupant detection unit 112 detects an occupant riding in the vehicle. For example, the occupant detection unit 112 detects an occupant by detecting a facial area of ​​a subject (occupant) from an interior image captured by the camera 130. When an image includes multiple subjects and multiple facial areas are detected, the occupant detection unit 112 detects that multiple occupants are riding in the vehicle. When the occupant detection unit 112 detects that an occupant has rode in the vehicle, it assigns an ID (Identifier) ​​to the occupant. The occupant detection unit 112 tracks the movement of the occupant inside the vehicle while the occupant is riding in the vehicle.

[0019] The personal information acquisition unit 113 acquires personal information of the occupants from the vehicle interior image captured by the camera 130. The personal information acquisition unit 113 acquires attribute information of the occupants as personal information, for example, from the vehicle interior image. When multiple occupants are detected, the personal information acquisition unit 113 acquires attribute information of each of the multiple occupants. For example, the personal information acquisition unit 113 may estimate the age of each occupant based on an image of a face region of the occupant and acquire the estimated age as the occupant's attribute information. For example, the personal information acquisition unit 113 may input the image of the face region into a trained AI (Artificial Intelligence) model to estimate the age of the occupant. The personal information acquisition unit 113 may identify whether the occupant is an adult, a child, or an infant based on the estimated age. Alternatively, the personal information acquisition unit 113 may perform face recognition on the image of the face region to acquire personal information. For example, the personal information acquisition unit 113 may identify a person by performing face recognition and acquire attribute information of the identified person from a database or the like.

[0020] Furthermore, the personal information acquisition unit 113 may acquire occupant status information as personal information in addition to acquiring occupant attribute information or identifying the person. The occupant status information includes, for example, at least one of the occupant's health condition, emotion, body temperature, pulse, and posture. The occupant's health information and emotion can be estimated, for example, by using a trained AI model. The occupant's body temperature can be acquired, for example, by analyzing images from an infrared camera. The occupant's pulse and posture can be acquired by analyzing images inside the vehicle. The personal information acquisition unit 113 corresponds to the personal information acquisition means 21 shown in FIG. 1.

[0021] The vehicle information acquisition unit (vehicle information acquisition means) 117 acquires vehicle information of the vehicle. The vehicle information may include information indicating the operating status of the air conditioner and information indicating whether the doors are locked. The vehicle information acquisition unit 117 may acquire the vehicle information from a device such as an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that controls the vehicle via an in-vehicle network such as a CAN (Controller Area Network).

[0022] The exit detection unit (exit detection means) 116 detects that an occupant who was riding in the vehicle has exited the vehicle. For example, when an occupant assigned a certain ID is no longer detected inside the vehicle, the exit detection unit 116 determines that the occupant has exited the vehicle. The exit detection unit 116 may detect the opening and closing of a vehicle door, and when an occupant assigned a certain ID is no longer detected inside the vehicle after the door is opened, the exit detection unit 116 may determine that the occupant has exited the vehicle. When occupants are identified using facial recognition or the like, the exit detection unit 116 stores information identifying the occupant who last exited the vehicle.

[0023] The determination unit 114 determines whether the occupant is a person to be monitored based on the personal information acquired by the personal information acquisition unit 113. The determination unit 114 determines, for example, whether the personal information matches the conditions for a person to be monitored. The conditions for a person to be monitored include, for example, information that identifies the person to be monitored. When a person is identified in the personal information acquisition unit 113 using facial recognition or the like, the determination unit 114 determines whether the occupant is a person designated as a person to be monitored. When the occupant is a person designated as a person to be monitored, the determination unit 114 determines that the occupant is a person to be monitored.

[0024] When the attribute information of the occupant is acquired by the person information acquisition unit 113, the determination unit 114 may determine whether the attribute information of the occupant matches attribute information specified as a condition for a person to be monitored. For example, the determination unit 114 acquires the age (estimated age) of the occupant as attribute information. The determination unit 114 determines whether the age of the occupant falls within the age range specified as a condition for a person to be monitored. When the age of the occupant falls within the age range specified as a condition for a person to be monitored, the determination unit 114 may determine that the occupant is a person to be monitored.

[0025] When the person information acquisition unit 113 acquires status information of the occupant, the determination unit 114 may determine whether the status information of the occupant matches status information specified as a condition for the person to be monitored. For example, when health information or emotions of the occupant are acquired as status information, the determination unit 114 determines whether the health state or emotions match the health state or emotions specified as a condition for the person to be monitored. When the health state or emotions of the occupant match the health state or emotions specified as a condition for the person to be monitored, the determination unit 114 may determine that the occupant is a person to be monitored. When the posture of the occupant is acquired as status information, the determination unit 114 may determine whether the occupant is slumped in his / her seat. When the occupant is slumped in his / her seat, the determination unit 114 may determine that the occupant is a person to be monitored.

[0026] The determination unit 114 may determine whether or not the occupant is a person to be monitored, based on the vehicle information acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit 117. For example, the determination unit 114 may determine whether or not the occupant is a person to be monitored when all doors of the vehicle are locked and the air conditioner is not operating. The determination unit 114 may determine whether or not the person to be monitored is left behind inside the vehicle, based on whether or not there is a person other than the person to be monitored inside the vehicle. The determination unit 114 corresponds to the determination means 22 shown in FIG. 1.

[0027] When the determination unit 114 determines that the occupant is a person to be monitored, the notification unit 115 reports that a person is present inside the vehicle. The notification unit 115 issues a report, for example, when the only occupant inside the vehicle is the person to be monitored. In other words, the notification unit 115 issues a report when a person other than the person to be monitored has left the vehicle. The notification unit 115 may issue a report when the determination unit 114 determines that a person to be monitored is left behind inside the vehicle. The notification unit 115 may issue a report a predetermined time after it is first determined that a person to be monitored is left behind inside the vehicle. For example, the notification unit 115 may issue a report when a person to be monitored is still left behind inside the vehicle even after a predetermined time has elapsed since it was first determined that a person to be monitored is left behind inside the vehicle. The notification unit 115 may transmit a current image of the interior of the vehicle captured by the camera 130 to the reporting destination. Alternatively, the reporting unit 115 may deliver live video of the inside of the vehicle captured by the camera 130 to the reporting destination.

[0028] The notification unit 115, for example, notifies a terminal device carried by the person who last exited the vehicle, as detected by the exit detection unit 116, that a monitored person is left behind in the vehicle. The notification unit 115 may notify a terminal device carried by the person who last exited the vehicle that a monitored person is left behind in the vehicle, for example, using a mobile phone network or short-range wireless communication. The notification unit 115 may send a message to a predetermined notification destination that a monitored person is left behind in the vehicle. If the message is read at the notification destination, the notification unit 115 may acquire information indicating that the message has been read. If the message is not read at the notification destination even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the message was sent, the notification unit 115 may send the message to another notification destination. For example, if the message is sent by email, the notification unit 115 may send the message to another notification destination if the email is not opened even after 10 minutes have elapsed since the email was sent. The notification unit 115 may notify people around the vehicle that a monitored person is left behind in the vehicle using a display device or an audio device. The reporting unit 115 corresponds to the reporting means 23 shown in FIG.

[0029] Next, the operation procedure will be described. FIG. 3 shows the operation procedure (reporting method) of the notification device 110. The image acquisition unit 111 acquires an interior image of the vehicle from the camera 130 (step S1). The occupant detection unit 112 detects an occupant in the vehicle (step S2). In step S2, the occupant detection unit 112 detects an occupant by, for example, detecting a face area from the interior image of the vehicle. The person information acquisition unit 113 acquires person information of the detected occupant (step S3). When identifying a person using face recognition or estimating a person's attributes from an image of a face area, the person information acquisition unit 113 may acquire person information when an occupant is detected for the first time in the vehicle. When acquiring occupant status information, the person information acquisition unit 113 may continuously acquire person information of the occupant.

[0030] The exit detection unit 116 determines whether any occupants have exited the vehicle (step S4). In step S4, the exit detection unit 116 determines whether the number of occupants has increased or decreased based on, for example, a change in the result of occupant detection by the occupant detection unit 112 in step S2. If the number of occupants has decreased, the exit detection unit 116 determines that any occupants have exited. The exit detection unit 116 may record personal information of the occupant who last exited the vehicle.

[0031] The determination unit 114 determines whether the occupant is a person to be monitored (step S5). For example, in step S5, the determination unit 114 determines whether the occupant is a person to be monitored by comparing the personal information of the occupant with the conditions for a person to be monitored. If the occupant is only a person to be monitored, the notification unit 115 notifies the fact that there is someone left behind in the vehicle (step S6). In step S6, the notification unit 115 may notify the fact that there is someone left behind in the vehicle to a terminal device carried by the person who last exited the vehicle.

[0032] In this embodiment, the personal information acquisition unit 113 acquires personal information of the occupant. The notification unit 115 issues a notification not only when a person is left behind in the vehicle, but also when the determination unit 114 determines that the occupant is a person to be monitored. If a notification is issued simply by determining whether or not a person is left behind in the vehicle, a notification that a person is left behind in the vehicle is issued even if the person left behind in the vehicle is able to escape from the vehicle on their own. In contrast, in this embodiment, personal information is acquired, and it is determined from the personal information whether or not the person in the vehicle is a person to be monitored. In this embodiment, the notification device 110 can issue a notification that a person is left behind in the vehicle if the person left behind in the vehicle is a person to be monitored. In this way, by determining whether or not to issue a notification based on the personal information of the person in the vehicle, a notification can be issued when a person who needs to be notified is left behind in the vehicle, and excessive notifications can be reduced.

[0033] Next, the hardware configuration of the notification device 110 will be described. Fig. 4 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the notification device 110. The notification device 110 has a processor (CPU: Central Processing Unit) 501, a ROM (read only memory) 502, and a RAM (random access memory) 503. In the notification device 110, the processor 501, the ROM 502, and the RAM 503 are connected to each other via a bus 504. The notification device 110 may include other circuits such as peripheral circuits, communication circuits, and interface circuits, which are not shown.

[0034] The ROM 502 is a non-volatile storage device. For example, a semiconductor storage device with a relatively small capacity, such as a flash memory, is used for the ROM 502. The ROM 502 stores the programs executed by the processor 501.

[0035] The program includes instructions (or software code) that, when loaded into a computer, cause the computer to perform one or more functions described in the embodiments. The program may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium. By way of example and not limitation, computer-readable media or tangible storage media include RAM, ROM, flash memory, solid-state drive (SSD) or other memory technologies, compact discs (CDs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), Blu-ray discs or other optical disc storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tapes, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices. The program may also be transmitted on a transitory computer-readable medium or a communication medium. By way of example and not limitation, transitory computer-readable media or communication media include electrical, optical, acoustic, or other forms of propagated signals.

[0036] The RAM 503 is a volatile storage device. Various semiconductor memory devices such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or a static random access memory (SRAM) are used for the RAM 503. The RAM 503 can be used as an internal buffer for temporarily storing data and the like.

[0037] The processor 501 loads a program stored in the ROM 502 into the RAM 503 and executes the program. When the CPU 501 executes the program, the functions of the various units in the notification device 110 can be realized.

[0038] The notification device 110 does not necessarily have to be a single device. The notification device 110 may be configured using multiple physically separated devices. Furthermore, all functions of the notification device 110 do not necessarily have to be mounted on the vehicle. For example, in the notification device 110, at least some of the occupant detection unit 112, the person information acquisition unit 113, and the determination unit 114 may be located outside the vehicle. In that case, for example, the occupant detection unit 112 may receive an in-vehicle video captured by the camera 130 via a wireless communication network.
