Abstract

The present invention is to provide an information processing device, a method of processing information, and a program for processing information to easily identify the location of the monitoring object and to reduce the cost. The information processing device 10 that monitors the monitoring object includes a location information database that associates the vertical and horizontal position of the image data captured by a fixed camera with actual location information corresponding to the position, judges whether or not the monitoring object is imaged in the image data, and outputs actual location information corresponding to the position of the image data to which the monitoring object is imaged, based on the location information database if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged.

Claims

1. An information processing device that monitors a monitoring object, comprising:

a location information database that associates the vertical and horizontal position of image data captured by a fixed camera with actual location information corresponding to the position;

a monitoring object judgment unit that judges whether or not the monitoring object is imaged in the image data;

a location information output unit that outputs actual location information corresponding to the position of the image data to which the monitoring object is imaged, based on the location information database if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged;

an intimidating instruction acquisition module that determines an intimidating method for intimidating the monitoring object based on a type of the imaged monitoring object if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged; and

an intimidating instruction transmitter unit that transmits to an intimidating device an intimidating method execution command for making the intimidating device to execute the intimidating method.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the location information output unit transmits the actual location information to a wireless aircraft.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a monitoring object database that previously stores image data of the monitoring object to be used for judging a monitoring object, the image data being associated with a type of a monitoring object and an intimidating method, wherein

the monitoring object judgment unit judges whether or not the monitoring object is imaged by applying image recognition based on the image data stored in the monitoring object database, and

the intimidating instruction acquisition module determines the intimidating method by searching to the monitoring object database.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the intimidating device includes an intimidating unit that intimidates the imaged monitoring object by emitting a light or a sound based on the intimidating method execution command, and

wherein at least one of the light or the sound is determined to be emitted based on the type of the imaged monitoring object.

4. A method of monitoring a monitoring object, comprising the steps of:

associating the vertical and horizontal position of the image data captured by the fixed camera with actual location information corresponding to the position in the location information database;

judging whether or not the monitoring object is imaged in the image data;

outputting actual location information corresponding to the position of the image data to which the monitoring object is imaged, based on the location information database if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged;

determining an intimidating method for intimidating the monitoring object based on a type of the imaged monitoring object if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged; and

transmitting to an intimidating device an intimidating method execution command for making the intimidating device to execute the intimidating method.

7. The method according to claim 4, wherein judging whether or not the monitoring object is imaged in the image data includes judging whether or not the monitoring object is imaged by applying image recognition based on the image data stored in a monitoring object database that previously stores image data of the monitoring object to be used for judging a monitoring object, the image data being associated with a type of a monitoring object and an intimidating method, and

wherein determining the intimidating method includes determining the intimidating method by searching to the monitoring object database.

8. The method according to claim 4, wherein the intimidating device includes an intimidating unit that intimidates the imaged monitoring object by emitting a light or a sound based on the intimidating method execution command, and

wherein at least one of the light or the sound is determined to be emitted based on the type of the imaged monitoring object.

5. A computer program product for use in an information processing device capable of communicating with a location information database associating the vertical and horizontal position of image data captured by a fixed camera with actual location information corresponding to the position, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a set of instructions physically embodied therein, the set of instructions including computer readable program code, which when executed by the electronic meeting server causes the information processing unit to:

judge whether or not the monitoring object is imaged in the image data;

output actual location information corresponding to the position of the image data to which the monitoring object is imaged, based on the location information database if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged;

determine an intimidating method for intimidating the monitoring object based on a type of the imaged monitoring object if the monitoring object is judged to be imaged; and

transmit to an intimidating device an intimidating method execution command for making the intimidating device to execute the intimidating method.

9. The computer program product according to claim 5, wherein judging whether or not the monitoring object is imaged in the image data includes judging whether or not the monitoring object is imaged by applying image recognition based on the image data stored in a monitoring object database that previously stores image data of the monitoring object to be used for judging a monitoring object, the image data being associated with a type of a monitoring object and an intimidating method, and

wherein determining the intimidating method includes determining the intimidating method by searching to the monitoring object database.

10. The computer program product according to claim 5, wherein the intimidating device includes an intimidating unit that intimidates the imaged monitoring object by emitting a light or a sound based on the intimidating method execution command, and

wherein at least one of the light or the sound is determined to be emitted based on the type of the imaged monitoring object.
