Abstract

A system for monitoring event related data including a sensor data analyzer, an event analyzer and an actuator is disclosed. The sensor data analyzer detects events based on sensor data, the event analyzer couples to the sensor data analyzer and estimates the size of the detected entire events based on event related data of the detected events from the sensor data analyzer, and the actuator couples to the sensor data analyzer and the event analyzer and actuates a predetermined device based on the estimated size of the detected entire events.

Claims (44)

1. A control system comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

detect that an event occurred in a surveillance area by using sensor data;

identify a type of the detected event; and

control a predetermined imaging range of a camera depending on the identified type of the detected event in the surveillance area,

wherein varieties of imaging ranges, including the imaging varieties of types, including the type, correspond to each other, and

wherein the varieties of the imaging ranges are defined differently depending on the type.

2. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to control the imaging range based on a type of a sound event.

3. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the varieties of the imaging range, which is defined by a control by the at least one processor, is not less than three.

4. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect an abnormal odor as the event based on the sensor data provided by an odor sensor; and

set the imaging range to a range depending on a location of the odor sensor.

5. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect an unusual crowd as the event based on the sensor data provided by an infrared sensor; and

set the imaging range to a range depending on a location of the infrared sensor.

6. A control method comprising:

detecting that an event occurred in a surveillance area by using sensor data;

identifying a type of the detected event; and

controlling a predetermined imaging range of a camera depending on the identified type of the detected event in the surveillance area,

wherein varieties of imaging ranges, including the imaging range, and varieties of types, including the type correspond to each other, and

wherein the varieties of the imaging ranges are defined differently depending on the type.

7. The control method according to claim 6 , further comprising controlling the imaging range based on a type of a sound event.

8. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein a number of the varieties of the imaging range, which is defined by the controlling, is not less than three.

9. The control method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

detecting an abnormal odor as the event based on the sensor data provided by an odor sensor; and

setting the imaging range to a range depending on a location of the odor sensor.

10. The control method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

detecting an unusual crowd as the event based on the sensor data provided by an infrared sensor; and

setting the imaging range to a range depending on a location of the infrared sensor.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform:

detecting that an event occurred in a surveillance area by using sensor data;

identifying a type of the detected event; and

controlling a predetermined imaging range of a camera depending on the identified type of the detected event in the surveillance area,

wherein varieties of imaging ranges, including the imaging range, and varieties of the types, including the type, correspond to each other, and

wherein the varieties of the imaging ranges are defined differently depending on the type.

12. The storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform controlling the imaging range based on a type of a sound event.

13. The storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein a number of the varieties of the imaging range, which is defined by the controlling, is not less than three.

14. The storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform:

detecting an abnormal odor as the event based on the sensor data provided by an odor sensor; and

setting the imaging range to a range depending on a location of the odor sensor.

15. The storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform:

detecting an unusual crowd as the event based on the sensor data provided by an infrared sensor; and

setting the imaging range to a range depending on a location of the infrared sensor.
