Conversation-Aware Notification Timing for Surveillance Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems issue notifications immediately after detecting close conversations without considering whether the individuals are in a suitable state to receive them, potentially disrupting important discussions.
Innovation Solution
A notification control apparatus that analyzes video or audio data to determine if individuals are in a suitable state for receiving notifications before issuing them, such as when conversations are interrupted or not important.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If notification is issued immediately after detecting close conversation, then response speed is improved, but notification effectiveness deteriorates because persons may not be in suitable state to receive notification
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video or audio data to determine whether persons are in a suitable state for receiving notification before actually issuing the notification. This preliminary action allows the system to assess conversation context, interruption status, and other relevant factors, ensuring notifications are sent at appropriate moments when persons can effectively receive and process the information.
2Reliability
If notification is issued during ongoing conversation, then infection prevention is improved, but conversation quality deteriorates due to disruption
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors video or audio data to detect conversation states, interruption events, and other contextual information. Based on this feedback, the notification timing is dynamically adjusted to avoid disrupting important conversations while still maintaining infection prevention effectiveness. The system learns from ongoing observations to optimize notification delivery.

AI summary
A notification control apparatus (2000) acquires video data or audio data for a plurality of persons (10) (a human group (40)) who have a conversation within a predetermined distance with each other in a surveillance area. The notification control apparatus (2000) determines whether or not the human group (40) is in a state suitable for receiving a notification using the acquired data. When the human group (40) is in the state suitable for receiving the notification, the notification control apparatus (2000) issues a predetermined notification.
