Abstract

Claims (22)

1. An investigation assist system comprising:

an investigation assist device that acquires captured video of cameras installed at a plurality of intersections respectively; and

an operator terminal that is connected to the investigation assist device so as to communicate with the investigation assist device;

wherein the investigation assist device detects an occurrence of an event at a first point based on the acquired captured video of the camera, and transmits the captured video of the camera to the operator terminal, the captured video being acquired at a time when the event is detected,

wherein the operator terminal records the captured video of the camera transmitted from the investigation assist device,

wherein the operator terminal receives a report indicating the occurrence of the event, and

wherein, repeatedly at least twice:

the operator terminal generates, based on the report indicating the occurrence of the event, a retrieval key, and transmits a retrieval request including the retrieval key to the investigation assist device,

the investigation assist device receives the retrieval request, extracts a captured video satisfying the retrieval key transmitted from the operator terminal, and transmits the extracted video to the operator terminal, and

the operator terminal displays the captured video transmitted from the investigation assist device on a display.

2. The investigation assist system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the operator terminal transmits the retrieval request to the investigation assist device every time the retrieval key based on the report is input, and

wherein the investigation assist device extracts captured video data satisfying the retrieval key transmitted from the operator terminal, and transmits the extracted video data to the operator terminal.

3. An investigation assist method using an investigation assist device that acquires captured video of cameras installed at a plurality of intersections respectively and an operator terminal that is connected to the investigation assist device so as to communicate with the investigation assist device, the investigation assist method comprising:

detecting an occurrence of an event at a first point based on the acquired captured video of the camera,

transmitting the captured video of the camera to the operator terminal, the captured video being acquired at a time when the event is detected,

recording the captured video of the camera transmitted from the investigation assist device, and

repeatedly at least twice:

transmitting a retrieval request including a retrieval key generated based on a report indicating the occurrence of the event to the investigation assist device,

extracting a captured video satisfying the retrieval key transmitted from the operator terminal,

transmitting the extracted video to the operator terminal, and

displaying the captured video transmitted from the investigation assist device on a display.
