In the following figures, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Also, unless otherwise specified, the descriptions of the respective embodiments can be mutually referred to, and the configurations of the respective embodiments can be combined unless otherwise specified.

[0015] [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an abandoned object processing support device 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the device 10 includes an image information acquisition unit 11, a position information acquisition unit 12, and a data transmission unit 13. The device 10 may further include, for example, a request information reception unit.

[0016] The device 10 may be, for example, a single device including the aforementioned parts, or it may be a device in which each of the aforementioned parts can be connected via a communication network. Furthermore, the device 10 can be connected to an external device described later via the communication network. The communication network is not particularly limited and can use a known network, for example, it may be wired or wireless. Examples of the communication network include the Internet, WWW (World Wide Web), telephone lines, LAN (Local Area Network), SAN (Storage Area Network), DTN (Delay Tolerant Networking), LPWA (Low Power Wide Area), L5G (Local 5G), etc. Examples of wireless communication include Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Local 5G, LPWA, etc. The wireless communication may be in the form of direct communication between devices (Ad Hoc communication), infrastructure communication, indirect communication via an access point, etc. The device 10 may be, for example, incorporated into a server as a system. Furthermore, the device 10 may be, for example, a personal computer (PC, e.g., desktop or notebook type), smartphone, tablet terminal, etc., on which the program of the present invention is installed. The device 10 may also be in the form of cloud computing or edge computing, for example, in which at least one of the above-mentioned parts is on a server and the other parts are on a terminal.

[0017] Figure 2 illustrates a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the device 10. The device 10 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU, GPU, etc.) 101, memory 102, bus 103, storage device 104, input device 105, output device 106, communication device 107, etc. Each part of the device 10 is interconnected via the bus 103 through its respective interface (I / F).

[0018] The central processing unit 101 operates in coordination with other components via controllers (system controller, I / O controller, etc.) and is responsible for the overall control of the device 10. In the device 10, the central processing unit 101 executes, for example, the program of the present invention or other programs, and also reads and writes various types of information. Specifically, for example, the central processing unit 101 functions as an image information acquisition unit 11, a location information acquisition unit 12, and a data transmission unit 13. If the device 10 further includes a request information receiving unit, the central processing unit 101 functions as, for example, a request information receiving unit. The central processing unit 101 may be equipped with a CPU, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), or a combination thereof as its computing device.

[0019] Bus 103 can also be connected to external devices, for example. Examples of such external devices include external storage devices (external databases, etc.), printers, external input devices, external display devices, and external imaging devices. The device 10 can be connected to an external network (the aforementioned communication network) via a communication device 107 connected to bus 103, for example, and can also be connected to other devices via the external network.

[0020] Memory 102 may be, for example, main memory. When the central processing unit 101 performs processing, memory 102 reads various operational programs, such as the program of the present invention, stored in the storage device 104 (described later), and the central processing unit 101 receives data from memory 102 and executes the program. The main memory may be, for example, RAM (random access memory). Alternatively, memory 102 may be, for example, ROM (read-only memory).

[0021] The storage device 104 is also called an auxiliary storage device, for example, in relation to the main memory (primary memory). As described above, the storage device 104 stores an operating program including the program of the present invention. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive for reading and writing to the recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and may be internal or external, for example, an HD (hard disk), CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, MO, DVD, flash memory, memory card, etc. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) in which the recording medium and the drive are integrated, or a solid state drive (SSD).

[0022] In this device 10, the memory 102 and storage device 104 can also store various types of information, such as log information, information obtained from an external database (not shown) or external devices, information generated by this device 10, and information used by this device 10 when executing processing. In this case, the memory 102 and storage device 104 may store, for example, marker information. At least some of the information may be stored on an external server other than the memory 102 and storage device 104, or it may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple terminals using blockchain technology or the like.

[0023] The device 10 further includes, for example, an input device 105 and an output device 106. The input device 105 may include, for example, a pointing device such as a touch panel, trackpad, or mouse; a keyboard; imaging means such as a camera or scanner; a card reader such as an IC card reader or magnetic card reader; an audio input means such as a microphone; and so on.

In this embodiment 1, the input device 105 and the output device 106 are configured separately, but the input device 105 and the output device 106 may be configured as an integrated unit, such as a touch panel display.

[0024] Next, an example of the abandoned object disposal support method of this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart S10 in Figure 3. The abandoned object disposal support method of this embodiment is carried out as follows, for example, using the device 10 in Figure 1 or Figure 2. Note that the abandoned object disposal support method of this embodiment is not limited to the use of the device 10 in Figure 1 or Figure 2.

[0025] First, the image information acquisition unit 11 acquires image information from the user terminal device that allows for the identification of the abandoned object (S11). The user terminal device is, for example, the same as the user terminal device of the present invention described later. The abandoned object is not particularly limited and can include, for example, vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, mopeds, and bicycles; household goods such as furniture, bedding, electrical appliances, gas appliances, petroleum appliances, entertainment goods, household goods, sporting goods, health equipment, toys, tableware, and tools; clothing such as clothes, underwear, footwear, and bags; food and beverages such as beverages and food; garbage such as combustible waste, non-combustible waste, recyclable waste, and bulky waste; hazardous materials such as chemicals; weapons such as knives, firearms, ammunition, and blunt instruments; and animals and plants. The identifiable image information is not particularly limited and can include, for example, license plates, chassis numbers, vehicle identification numbers, anti-theft registration numbers, serial numbers, model numbers, part numbers, manufacturing numbers, signatures, and images of the abandoned object itself.

[0026] Next, the location information acquisition unit 12 acquires the location information of the abandoned object from the user terminal device (S12).

[0027] Note that in Figure 3, S12 is performed after S11, but for example, S11 may be performed after S12, or S11 and S12 may be performed simultaneously. The same applies to the flow shown in Figure 5, which will be described later.

[0028] Next, the data transmission unit 13 transmits the acquired image information and location information, including the data, to an external terminal device (S13). The external terminal device may be, for example, the user terminal device, or a cooperating party terminal device owned by a cooperating party, as described later.

[0029] The aforementioned data includes, for example, data for posting and data for notifying collaborating parties. In this case, the external terminal device includes, for example, a user terminal device that transmitted the image information and the location information, and a collaborating party terminal device held by a collaborating party. At this time, the data transmission unit 13 transmits the data for posting to the user terminal device and transmits the data for notifying collaborating parties to the collaborating party terminal device.

[0030] The aforementioned posting data may include, for example, information for posters urging the removal of abandoned objects, and may be laid out so as to be output as information for posters, or it may be in the form of a poster, document, etc. The aforementioned posting data may include, for example, the aforementioned image information, warning text, date information, barcodes, identification codes such as QR codes (registered trademarks), etc.

[0031] Examples of cooperating parties include the police, fire department, lawyers, abandoned property recovery companies, local governments, landowners or managers, and nature conservation organizations. Examples of data for notifying cooperating parties include the image information, location information, and personal information of the user. Examples of data for notifying cooperating parties may include data necessary to report to the police, data necessary to contact the original owner if the abandoned property is stolen, data necessary to request legal representation, and data necessary to recover the abandoned property.

[0032] The device 10 may further include a request information receiving unit (not shown). The request information receiving unit receives cooperation request information transmitted from the user terminal device to the cooperating parties. Examples of cooperation request information include requests to report to the police, requests to contact the owner of the abandoned item, requests to notify a lawyer, and requests to retrieve the abandoned item.

[0033] According to Embodiment 1, the device can transmit data including image information and location information of abandoned objects to an external terminal device. For example, it can centralize the transmission of information for posting notices and notifications to cooperating parties, thereby reducing the workload that users previously had to perform to remove abandoned objects, such as creating notices and reporting to the police.

[0034] [Embodiment 2] Embodiment 2 is another example of the abandoned waste disposal support device of the present invention.

[0035] The abandoned object disposal support device 10A of this embodiment is the same as the abandoned object disposal support device 10 of Embodiment 1, except that it includes a connecting section 14 in addition to the configuration of the abandoned object disposal support device 10 of Embodiment 1, and the description thereof can be applied accordingly. The abandoned object disposal support device 10A of this embodiment includes, for example, a connecting section.

[0036] Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the device 10A. As shown in Figure 4, the device 10A includes a communication unit 14 in addition to the configuration of the abandoned object processing support device 10 of Embodiment 1. The hardware configuration of the abandoned object processing support device 10A is the same as that of the abandoned object processing support device 10 in Figure 2, except that the central processing unit 101 has the configuration of the abandoned object processing support device 10A in Figure 4 instead of the configuration of the abandoned object processing support device 10 in Figure 1.

[0037] Next, the abandoned object disposal support method of this embodiment will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 5. The abandoned object disposal support method of this embodiment can be implemented, for example, using the abandoned object disposal support device 10A of this embodiment shown in Figure 4. However, the abandoned object disposal support method of the present invention is not limited to the use of the abandoned object disposal support device 10A.

[0038] First, steps S10 to S13 are carried out in the same manner as in Embodiment 1.

[0039] Next, the communication unit 14 contacts the terminal owned by the owner of the abandoned item (S14). The owner of the abandoned item may be, for example, the person who abandoned the item without permission, or the victim of theft if the item was stolen. The contact may be made by, for example, chat, SMS, email, phone call, etc., or through a dedicated application on the terminal. When making the contact, for example, the device 10A, which has obtained the image information, may obtain the owner's contact information from the police, etc., and then make the contact. Alternatively, for example, the storage device 104 of the device 10A may store information that can identify the abandoned item, such as a license plate, in advance and associate it with the owner's contact information, and then compare the image information obtained from the user with this information to contact the owner. In other words, S14 may be performed at any time after the flow of S11.

[0040] According to Embodiment 2, for example, if the police or the device 10A has the contact information of the owner of the abandoned object, the device 10A can contact the owner of the abandoned object, thus enabling the removal of abandoned objects on private property to be carried out quickly.

[0041] [Embodiment 3] In this embodiment, an example of the user terminal device of the present invention will be described. In this invention, "user" refers to a person who uses this device via a terminal.

[0042] The user terminal device includes an imaging unit, a location information acquisition unit, an image information transmission unit, a location information transmission unit, and a display data reception unit.

[0043] The imaging unit captures an image of the abandoned object as an identifiable image. The abandoned object is, for example, the same as the abandoned object in Embodiment 1. The identifiable image is, for example, the same as the identifiable image in Embodiment 1. The imaging may be performed, for example, by an input device such as a camera provided in this device, and may be an image or a video. Furthermore, this device and the input device do not necessarily have to be integrated; for example, the input device may be connected via an external input.

[0044] The location information acquisition unit acquires the location information of the abandoned object. The location information may be acquired by receiving, for example, radio waves from a communication carrier's base station, GPS (Global Positioning System) signals, Wi-Fi radio waves, etc.

[0045] The image information transmission unit transmits the captured image as image information to the abandoned object processing support device of the present invention, and the location information transmission unit transmits the location information to the abandoned object processing support device. The abandoned object processing support device of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the devices 10 and 10A of the above-described embodiments 1 and 2.

[0046] The display data receiving unit receives display data, including the image information and the location information, from the abandoned object disposal support device. The display data is, for example, the same as the display data in Embodiment 1.

[0047] The user terminal device may be, for example, a personal computer (PC, e.g., desktop or notebook type), a smartphone, a tablet device, or the like.

[0048] [Embodiment 4] Next, an example of the abandoned object disposal support device and abandoned object disposal support system including an external terminal device of the present invention will be described using the device 10 of Embodiment 1 with reference to Figures 6 and 7. However, the system of the present invention is not limited to the use of the device 10 of Embodiment 1.

[0049] First, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the external terminal device can send and receive data with the device 10 of Embodiment 1. The external terminal device includes, for example, the user terminal device of Embodiment 3 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "device of Embodiment 3"). A user whose property has been abandoned on private land can, for example, use the device of Embodiment 3 to capture an image of the abandoned object that can be identified. As shown in Figure 6, if the abandoned object is a car, the device of Embodiment 3 will capture an image of, for example, the license plate, etc. As shown in Figure 7, if the abandoned object is a bicycle, it will capture an image of, for example, the vehicle identification number, etc. Also, for example, the device of Embodiment 3 will acquire location information. The image information of the captured image and the acquired location information are transmitted to the device 10 of Embodiment 1. The transmission may be performed using, for example, a dedicated application.

[0050] The device 10 of Embodiment 1 transmits the acquired data, including the image information and location information, to the external terminal device. In this embodiment, for example, data for notifying cooperating parties, including the image information and location information, is transmitted to a cooperating party terminal device held by the police, who are cooperating parties, to perform automatic inquiries and notifications to the police.

[0051] Furthermore, the posting data, including the image information and location information, is transmitted to, for example, the device of Embodiment 3. The device of Embodiment 3 that receives the posting data may output it, for example, by printing it on paper or sticker paper. The user can post the outputted posting data as a notice on the abandoned item. If a certain period of time has passed since the notice was posted, the user can request a lawyer's notice using the device of Embodiment 3, for example, as shown in Figure 6. Alternatively, the user can request collection from a collection company, etc., as shown in Figure 7. If an identification code is printed on the posting data, the request may be made by reading the identification code using an input device such as a camera provided by the device of Embodiment 3. If the dedicated application is being used, the request may also be made using the request function of the application.

[0052] If the device 10 of Embodiment 1 includes a request information receiving unit, the device 10 of Embodiment 1 can receive request information from the device of Embodiment 3. When such a request is received, the device 10 of Embodiment 1 can automatically contact a partner lawyer, for example, as shown in Figure 6. The lawyer who receives the contact can, for example, identify the owner of the abandoned item based on the information obtained from the device 10 of Embodiment 1 and file a claim for damages against the owner. Alternatively, for example, a collection request can be automatically sent to a collection company, as shown in Figure 7. The collection company that receives the collection request collects the abandoned item. If an identification code such as a QR code (registered trademark) is printed on the notice posted on the abandoned item, the collection company can notify the device 10 of Embodiment 1 that the collection (removal) of the abandoned item has been completed by reading the identification code with a terminal owned by the collection company.

[0053] In addition, as described in Embodiment 2, the device 10A of Embodiment 2 can also contact an external terminal device such as a mobile phone owned by the owner of the abandoned item.

[0054] [Embodiment 5] The program of this embodiment is a program that causes a computer to execute each step of the present invention as a procedure. In this invention, for example, "procedure" can be read as "process". The program of this embodiment may also be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, for example. The recording medium is, for example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and includes, for example, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), hard disk (HD), optical disk, floppy disk (FD), etc.
