AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing systems require inefficient on-site surveys in areas with no problem information, as they cannot distinguish between areas with no information providers and areas where there is truly no problem, leading to resource wastage.

Method used

An information collection device that estimates information gap areas based on defect information and pedestrian flow, determining activity levels and setting urgency for information gathering to prioritize efficient on-site surveys.

Benefits of technology

The device efficiently prioritizes on-site surveys in areas with actual information gaps, reducing unnecessary investigations and enhancing resource utilization.

Abstract

An information collecting device according to the present disclosure comprises an information collecting unit, a no-information region estimating unit, an activity level estimating unit, and an urgency level setting unit. The information collecting unit collects problem information submitted in a prescribed region, and people-flow information relating to the region. The no-information region estimating unit estimates, on the basis of the number of pieces of problem information collected in the region, whether or not the region is a no-information region, indicating a region with no problem information. The activity level estimating unit estimates an activity level in the region on the basis of the people flow information relating to the region. The urgency level setting unit sets an urgency level for information collection in the region on the basis of the estimation result of whether or not the region is a no-information region and the estimation result of the activity level in the region.
