Person display control device, person display control system and person display control method

1. A person display control device comprising:

processing circuitry

to acquire both a captured image of and authentication information of a user having entered an authentication area provided on a floor surface, the authentication information including assistance-needing information indicating whether the user needs assistance, the assistance-needing information being determined by performing image processing on the captured image of the user, wherein the assistance-needing information indicates that the user needs assistance based on detection of a particular object accompanying the user in the captured image;

to determine whether the user is an action-required person using acquisition information indicating whether the authentication information of the user has been acquired, or using the authentication information of the user acquired;

to acquire location information of the user;

to associate a determination result produced by the determination using the acquisition information or the authentication information with the location information acquired, and record the determination result along with the assistance-needing information in association with the user in a person information database;

and

to control, on a basis of the determination result produced by the determination recorded in the person information database, a display to display an image showing a location of the action-required person.

2. The person display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry

determines whether the user is the action-required person, using image data acquired from the captured image,

associates, with one another, the determination result produced by the determination using the acquisition information or the authentication information, the location information acquired, and a determination result produced by the determination using the image data, and records resultant data in the person information database, and

determines whether the user is the action-required person on a basis of a combination of the determination result produced by the determination using the acquisition information or the authentication information and the determination result produced by the determination using the image data recorded in the person information database, and controls the display to display the image showing the location of the action-required person.

3. The person display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry associates, with one another, the determination result produced by the determination using the acquisition information or the authentication information, the location information acquired, the determination result produced by the determination using the image data, and the image data acquired, and records resultant data in the person information database.

4. The person display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry controls the display to display an image in which the location of the action-required person is superimposed on a map of an inside of a building, the authentication area being provided in the building.

5. A person display control system comprising:

the person display control device according to claim 1 ;

a reader to read the authentication information of the user; and

a transmitter to send the authentication information read by the reader.

6. A person display control system comprising:

the person display control device according to claim 1 ; and

a person detector to detect that the user has entered the authentication area.

7. A person display control system comprising:

the person display control device according to claim 1 ; and

an input device to receive operation of editing the person information database, and output operation information indicating the operation, wherein

the processing circuitry edits the person information database using the operation information.

8. The person display control system according to claim 7 , wherein the display controlled by the processing circuitry to display the image, and the input device are included in a touch panel display.

9. A person display control method comprising:

acquiring both a captured image of and authentication information of a user having entered an authentication area provided on a floor surface, the authentication information including information as to whether the user needs assistance, the assistance-needing information being determined by performing image processing on the captured image of the user, wherein the assistance-needing information indicates that the user needs assistance based on detection of a particular object accompanying the user in the captured image;

determining whether the user is an action-required person using information indicating whether the authentication information of the user has been acquired, or using the authentication information of the user acquired;

acquiring location information of the user;

associating a determination result produced by the determination with the location information acquired, and recording the determination result along with the assistance-needing information in association with the user in a person information database; and

controlling, on a basis of the determination result produced by the determination recorded in the person information database, a display to display an image showing a location of the action-required person.
