Abstract

A non-boarded passenger search device which searches for a non-boarded passenger includes an image registration unit that registers image data of faces of a plurality of scheduled passengers photographed before a predetermined passage point; a determination unit that determines whether a scheduled passenger whose face is photographed at the passage point is registered in the image registration unit; when the face is photographed at the passage point is registered, a fight number registration unit that registers a flight number which the scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with image data of the face; and a presentation unit that presents position information of the scheduled passenger, based on the image data of the face of the scheduled passenger, the flight number, image data of the face of the scheduled passenger and position information of the plurality of photographing points.

2. The non-boarded passenger search device according to claim 1 , wherein,

the processor configured to execute the instructions to:

when a face of a given scheduled passenger is photographed at the plurality of photographing points, register a photographing time for each of the photographing points in association with image data of the face of the given scheduled passenger; and

present a movement path of the given scheduled passenger as the position information of the scheduled passenger, based on a photographing time for each of the registered photographing points and the position information of the plurality of preset photographing points.

3. The non-boarded passenger search device according to claim 1 , wherein

the passage point is located in a security check.

4. The non-boarded passenger search device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor further configured to execute the instructions to:

register a boarding gate of a flight which a scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with image data of the face; and

in a case where a face of a scheduled passenger is photographed at a given boarding gate, when the boarding gate coincides with a boarding gate associated with image data of the face of the scheduled passenger, exclude the scheduled passenger, and then present the position information of the scheduled passenger between the passage point and the boarding gate.

5. The non-boarded passenger search device according to claim 1 , wherein,

the processor configured to execute the instructions to:

when determining that a scheduled passenger whose face is photographed at the passage point is present in a plurality of scheduled passengers whose image data of faces are registered, register a flight number which the scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with image data of the face of the scheduled passenger registered.

6. The non-boarded passenger search device according to claim 1 , wherein,

the processor configured to execute the instructions to:

when determining that a scheduled passenger whose face is photographed at the passage point is not present in a plurality of scheduled passengers whose image data of faces are registered, register a flight number which the scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with image data of the face of the scheduled passenger photographed at the passage point.

7. A non-boarded passenger search method of searching for a non-boarded passenger in a terminal building of an airport, the method comprising:

registering image data of faces of a plurality of scheduled passengers photographed before a predetermined passage point on a path toward a boarding gate;

each time a face of a scheduled passenger is photographed at the passage point, comparing image data of the face with registered image data of faces of the plurality of scheduled passengers, and then determining whether a scheduled passenger whose face is photographed at the passage point is present in the plurality of registered scheduled passengers;

when the scheduled passenger whose face is photographed at the passage point is present in the plurality of registered scheduled passengers, registering a flight number which the scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with image data of the face of the scheduled passenger; and

presenting position information of a scheduled passenger between the passage point and the boarding gate for each of the flight numbers, based on the image data of the face of the scheduled passenger and the flight number associated, the image data of the face of the scheduled passenger photographed at the plurality of photographing points between the passage point and the boarding gate, and position information of the plurality of preset photographing points.

8. The non-boarded passenger search method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

when a face of a given scheduled passenger is photographed at the plurality of photographing points, recording a photographing time for each of the photographing points in association with image data of the face of the given scheduled passenger; and

presenting a movement path of the given scheduled passenger as the position information of the scheduled passenger, based on a recorded photographing time for each of the photographing points and the position information of the plurality of preset photographing points.

9. The non-boarded passenger search method according to claim 7 , wherein

the passage point is located in a security check.

10. The non-boarded passenger search method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

registering a boarding gate of a flight which a scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with image data of the face; and

in a case where a face of a scheduled passenger is photographed at a given boarding gate, when the boarding gate coincides with a boarding gate associated with image data of the face of the scheduled passenger, excluding the scheduled passenger, and then presenting the position information of the scheduled passenger between the passage point and the boarding gate.

11. The non-boarded passenger search method according to claim 7 , further comprising,

when a scheduled passenger whose face is photographed at the passage point is present in the plurality of scheduled passengers whose image data of faces are registered, registering a flight number which the scheduled passenger is scheduled to board, in association with registered image data of the face of the scheduled passenger.
