Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an obtainer that obtains video picture data designated by a terminal apparatus from a storage apparatus storing video picture data of a video picture shot by a wearable camera attached to or owned by a police officer or by an on-vehicle camera mounted on a police vehicle, a generator that analyzes a video picture in the obtained video picture data to generate information associated with a case and generates summary video picture data that is a video picture portion as a report target of the case extracted from the video picture data based on the generated information, and a transmitter that transmits the summary video picture data to the terminal apparatus.

Claims (31)

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

an obtainer that obtains, from a storage apparatus, video picture data including a video picture shot by a wearable camera attached to or owned by a police officer or shot by an on-vehicle camera mounted on a police vehicle, the video picture being designated by a terminal apparatus;

an information generator that generates information associated with a case by analyzing the video picture included in the video picture data, the information including detection timings and non-detection timings of a plurality of events, the detection timings being timings of the plurality of events being detected in the video picture, the non-detection timings being timings of the plurality of events being undetected for a period of time in the video picture;

a summary video picture data generator that generates, as a report target of the case, summary video picture data including a video picture portion extracted from the video picture based on the information, the video picture portion being a portion of the video picture that starts from a first detection timing of the detection timings and ends at a first non-detection timing of the non-detection timings; and

a transmitter that transmits the summary video picture data to the terminal apparatus.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the summary video picture data generator includes the information in the summary video picture data as text data, and

the information is displayed in text on a display of the terminal apparatus.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the summary video picture data generator generates extraction summary video picture data that is part of the summary video picture data extracted in a video picture range designated by the terminal apparatus.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of events includes a presence of at least one of a person, a vehicle, an abnormal behavior of a person, a crowd of people, a conversation, a gunshot, or an explosion sound in the video picture.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a converter that extracts voice data included in the summary video picture data and converts the extracted voice data into text data, wherein

the transmitter transmits the text data resulting from the conversion to the terminal apparatus.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the obtainer, the information generator, the summary video picture data generator, and the transmitter are included in a single server.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information generator is included in a first server, and the summary video picture data generator is included in a second server different from the first server.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of events includes a presence of a person, a vehicle, an abnormal behavior of a person, a crowd of people, and a conversation.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first detection timing is a timing of a first event of the plurality of events being detected in the video picture,

the first non-detection timing is a timing of a second event of the plurality of events, which is different from the first event, being undetected for the period of time in the video picture.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the first event is an event selected from a presence of a person, a vehicle, an abnormal behavior of a person, a crowd of people, and a conversation, and

the second event is an event different from the first event selected from the presence of the person, the vehicle, the abnormal behavior of the person, the crowd of people, and the conversation.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the summary video picture data includes another video picture portion extracted from the video picture based on the information,

the another video picture portion is another portion of the video picture that starts from a second detection timing of the detection timings and ends at a second non-detection timing of the non-detection timings.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the summary video picture data generator removes a portion of the video picture that starts from the first non-detection timing and ends at a second detection timing of the detection timings.

13. A method comprising:

obtaining, from a storage apparatus, video picture data including a video picture shot by a wearable camera attached to or owned by a police officer or shot by an on-vehicle camera mounted on a police vehicle, the video picture being designated by a terminal apparatus;

generating information associated with a case by analyzing the video picture included in the video picture data, the information including detection timings and non-detection timings of a plurality of events, the detection timings being timings of the plurality of events being detected in the video picture, the non-detection timings being timings of the plurality of events being undetected for a period of time in the video picture;

generating, as a report target of the case, summary video picture data including a video picture portion extracted from the video picture based on the information, the video picture portion being a portion of the video picture that starts from a first detection timing of the detection timings and ends at first non-detection timing of the non-detection timings; and

transmitting the summary video picture data to the terminal apparatus.
