detect whether there is any person staying in the target area based on the images from the camera,

detect whether each person staying in the target area is in at least one of a phone talk state, a conversation state, and a stress state such that the person is in a state unable to deal with a visitor based on the images from the camera,

generate display information for displaying state information regarding whether each person is in the state unable to deal with a visitor, together with stay information regarding whether there is any person staying in the target area,

receive an operation of a user of selecting a person and setting the selected person as a notification target, and

when the stay information regarding the person set as a notification target is updated to a present state and the state information of the person set as a notification target is updated to a state suitable to visit, which is none of the phone talk state, the conversation state, and the stress state, transmit a notification representing the updating of the stay information and the state information to a user terminal.

2. The staying status display system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to

generate a person list screen in which person images are displayed in an arrangement, and

display a state icon representing whether each person is in the state unable to deal with a visitor in the person list screen as the state information.

3. The staying status display system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to

generate a map screen in which a state icon representing whether each person is in the state unable to deal with a visitor is superimposed, as the state information, at a position of a corresponding person on a map image representing the target area, and

in response to an operation of a user selecting a person, display a person image of the selected person on the map screen.

the state information of a person is displayed without the button to select the person as a notification target, when the person is detected in the state suitable to visit, which is none of the telephone talk state, the conversation state and the stress state.

8. A staying status display method for executing, with a processor, a process of acquiring, in real time, images captured by a camera installed in a target area and generating display information regarding a current person staying status in the target area, the method comprising:

detecting whether there is any person staying in the target area based on the images captured by the camera,

detecting whether each person staying in the target area is in at least one of a phone talk state, a conversation state, and a stress state such that the person is in a state unable to deal with a visitor based on the images captured by the camera,

generating display information for displaying state information regarding whether each person is in the state unable to deal with a visitor, together with stay information regarding whether there is any person staying in the target area,

receiving an operation of a user of selecting a person and setting the selected person as a notification target, and

when the stay information regarding the person set as a notification target is updated to a present state and the state information of the person set as a notification target is updated to a state suitable to visit, which is none of the phone talk state, the conversation state, and the stress state, transmitting a notification representing the updating of the stay information and the state information to a user terminal.
