Mobile Image Capture Abnormality Detection and Alert Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monitoring camera systems struggle with detecting abnormalities in images captured by movable image capturing devices, as they are designed for fixed installations and lack effective methods for issuing alerts when anomalies occur during mobile imaging.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that associates setting information for image abnormalities with notification destinations, enabling the detection and notification of such abnormalities in captured images, using a combination of image capturing devices, servers, and communication terminals to manage and alert on detected issues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image difference recognition technique is used to detect abnormalities in captured images, then abnormality detection capability is improved, but the system complexity increases due to requirement of multiple image capturing devices and system management terminal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the abnormality detection function from the complex system management terminal and implements it directly within the image capturing device itself. The device autonomously performs image difference recognition and abnormality detection without requiring continuous connection to or processing by a central management system, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining detection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The image capturing device is designed to perform self-diagnosis and self-alert functions. It autonomously captures images, compares them with reference images, detects abnormalities through image difference recognition, and issues alerts independently without requiring external system management intervention, thus simplifying the system architecture.
2Device complexity
If fixed installation monitoring is implemented, then system simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to mobile imaging scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the image capturing device with universal functionality that works in both fixed and mobile imaging scenarios. The device can capture images whether stationary or moving, perform abnormality detection in various locations, and issue alerts appropriately. This multi-functional design enables the same device to adapt to different deployment conditions without requiring separate systems for fixed and mobile monitoring.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system include circuitry to store, in a memory, setting information in which an abnormality in a captured image and a notification destination for the abnormality are associated with each other. The captured image is captured by an image capturing device. The circuitry detects the abnormality in the captured image and outputs, to the notification destination, a notification indicating that the abnormality has been detected.
