JP 2005-346617 A

By the way, in the above-mentioned behavior management device, in the former case, when searching for the behavior of a specific customer, a desired video must be searched from all videos including those in which no person is shown, There is a problem that the search takes a very long time. In addition, when an image captured by a digital video recorder or the like is stored for a long period of time, there is a problem that it is difficult to store the image for a long period of time because the amount of data becomes enormous.
Furthermore, in the case of the former behavior management device, it is possible to reduce the amount of data by erasing the video of the person identified by the individual after confirmation, but the video of the person whose individual is not identified is stored in the storage device. Since it remains and accumulates over time, for example, it is necessary to frequently move the remaining video data to another storage device or selectively delete unnecessary data, thereby managing the video data. There is a problem that becomes complicated.

  On the other hand, in the case of the latter behavior management device, it is impossible to identify each customer, and it is necessary to estimate and extract a predetermined behavior from all the trajectories. Thus, there is a problem that it is difficult to detect the behavior itself.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, makes it possible to record a person's action with a small amount of data, easily search for an action related to a specific person, and increase opportunities for authenticating a person. Thus, an action management device capable of reducing video data stored in a storage device is provided.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the invention described in claim 1 is an action management system that manages a person's action in a predetermined area. An image pickup unit that picks up an image in the predetermined area (for example, an embodiment) Video cameras V1 to Vn), person specifying means (for example, a person specifying unit 31 in the embodiment) for specifying a person from the video imaged by the imaging means, and authentication of the person specified by the person specifying means Authenticating means (for example, the authenticating unit 34 in the embodiment), and behavior detecting means (for example, the behavior detecting unit 38 in the exemplary embodiment) for detecting a predetermined action by the person authenticated by the authenticating means, Character data conversion means for converting the predetermined action specified by the action detection means into character data (for example, character data in the embodiment) Data conversion unit 39), storage means for storing the character data converted by the character data conversion means in association with the identification information of the person authenticated by the authentication means (for example, the storage unit 35 in the embodiment), A behavior management device (for example, the behavior management device 100 in the embodiment) and a transaction processing device (for example, No. 1 to No. 3 ATM 52 in the embodiment, which is installed in the area and performs processing related to various transactions) , No. 1 to No. 3 window operating device 58) and connection means (for example, connection unit 45 in the embodiment) for connecting the transaction processing device and the behavior management device. .

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, when the person specified by the person specifying unit cannot be authenticated by the authentication unit, identification information for specifying the unauthenticated person is provided. An identification information providing means for providing (for example, the identification information providing unit 36 in the embodiment), and when a non-specific identified person to whom identification information is assigned by the identification information providing means is authenticated by the authentication means , Device detection means (for example, device detection unit 46 in the embodiment) for detecting the transaction processing device in which this individual non-identified person is making a transaction, and the transaction processing device detected by the device detection means Collecting means (for example, the collecting unit 47 in the embodiment) that collects the information under transaction as collected information, and the collected information collected by the collecting means For the individual nonspecific the identified person, related information recording means for storing in said memory means as a personal-related information (e.g., related information recording unit 48 in the embodiment), characterized in that it comprises a.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the invention, the characteristic information of the non-personally identified individual detected from the video imaged by the imaging unit and the collected information collected by the collecting unit are obtained. Collected information that is a combination that cannot be clearly matched by comparison and collation is related party reference information recording means for storing in the storage means in association with identification information of the individual non-specific identified person as related party reference information ( For example, it is characterized by including the related person reference information recording unit 49) in the embodiment.

  The invention described in claim 4 is the invention described in claim 2 or 3, wherein when the collected information and the related party information are compared and collated, the personal identification information that is further basic of the collected information is collected. Called by means.

  The invention described in claim 5 is the invention described in any one of claims 3 and 4, wherein the personal related information and the related person reference information stored in association with the identification information of the individual non-specific identified person are stored. When at least one of them reaches a predetermined number set in advance, it is configured to be able to be registered as authentication information of one individual specified person who has specified an individual.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the behavior is recorded by converting the predetermined behavior identified by the behavior detection means into character data and storing the character data in association with the identification information of the authenticated person. Compared with the case where all the video data is left to keep, it is possible to greatly reduce the amount of data by storing a predetermined action as character data, for example, based on identification information, There is an effect that a predetermined action of a specific person can be easily searched.
Further, by connecting the transaction processing device installed in the area and processing related to various transactions and the behavior management device by connection means, for example, various information acquired by the transaction processing device can be output to the behavior management device. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to increase opportunities for individuals to be identified based on information acquired by the transaction processing device.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, when an individual non-identified identified person to whom identification information for specifying a person who cannot be authenticated by the authentication means is authenticated by the authentication means is authenticated by the authentication means. A transaction processing device in which a specific identified person conducts a transaction is detected by the device detection means, and further, collected information is collected from the detected transaction processing device by the collection means, and this collected information is personally related by the related information storage means. By storing the information in the storage means, information for specifying the individual of the non-specific identified person can be automatically accumulated. Therefore, since the amount of information that can be used to identify an individual of a non-specifically identified person can be increased, there is an effect that it is possible to contribute to the reduction of information regarding the non-specifically identified person.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the second aspect, the collected information collected by the collecting means is compared with the characteristic information of the non-specific identified person such as gender and age detected from the video. Collected information that is a combination that cannot be clearly matched after collation can be stored in association with the identification information of the individual non-specific identified person as related party reference information. Even if the collected information and the feature information of the non-specifically identified person do not match as one person's information, that is, if the transaction is a representative person, It can be estimated that the person is related to one individual, and related person reference information including the action can be stored in association with recognition information of a non-specific identified person. Therefore, there is an effect that information relating to the person concerned as well as the person concerned can be stored and used to identify the individual of the non-specific identified person.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, in addition to the effect of claim 3, when the collected information and the related person information are compared and collated, the personal identification information that is further basic of the collected information is called from the collecting means. For example, since it is possible to more reliably detect the difference between the individual specified by the collected information and the person specified by the video, more related party reference information is stored in association with the recognition information. It becomes possible. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to further increase the chances of identifying an individual of a non-specific identified person.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the third or fourth aspect, at least one of personal related information and related person reference information stored in association with identification information of a non-personally identified person When the number reaches a preset number, that is, when a sufficient amount of information has been accumulated to identify an individual, the authentication information of the non-identified individual is identified as the individual identified by the individual. Since it can be registered as the authentication information of the specified person, there is an effect that information about the non-specific identified person can be reduced.

Next, an action management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the behavior management system 10 in this embodiment. The behavior management system 10 according to this embodiment includes a plurality of video cameras V1 to Vn, a control device 30, a display unit 60, and an operation input unit 61. The behavior management device 100 includes a store such as a financial institution. To monitor and record human behavior.

  The plurality of video cameras V1 to Vn are for capturing a person at each location in the store of the financial institution, and each image captured by the plurality of video cameras V1 to Vn is transmitted to the control device 30. The FIG. 2 shows an example of a layout and camera arrangement in a store. Video cameras V1 to Vn (indicated by reference character V in FIG. 2) are a front port 50, an ATM corner 51, and each ATM (Automatic Teller Machine). 52, an in-store lobby 53, a counter counter 54, a copy machine 55, a safe deposit box 56, a reception ticket issuing machine 57, etc. In addition, the counter counter has a plurality of counters, and each counter has a counter operating device (see FIG. 1) for processing related to various transactions, and information such as customer information can be input by the counter staff. . For convenience of illustration, the window operating machine is omitted in FIG.

  The control device 30 is configured by a computer such as a server arranged in the store counter 54 of the store, and includes video buffers B1 to Bn, a person specifying unit 31, a person video memory group 33, an authentication unit 34, a storage unit 35, Identification information adding unit 36, article detection unit 37, behavior detection unit 38, character data conversion unit 39, still image extraction unit 40, search unit 41, connection unit 45, device detection unit 46, collection unit 47, and related information recording unit 48 , And a related person reference information recording unit 49. In addition, a display unit 60 such as a liquid crystal and an operation input unit 61 such as a keyboard or a mouse are connected to the control device 30.

The person identifying unit 31 identifies a person appearing in each video (in other words, detects a person in the video) based on the video captured by each of the video cameras V1 to Vn. In addition, the person specifying unit 31 extracts only the video in which the person is specified and stores them in the person video memories M1 to Mn.
Here, as a method of identifying a person, a method of detecting a person's face from images captured by the video cameras V1 to Vn can be used.

  Then, the person specifying unit 31 cuts out the image of the person from the images displayed by the video cameras V1 to Vn, and further, for example, the face specifying unit 31 makes it easy to authenticate by the authentication unit 34 described later. A front image or the like is cut out and output to the authentication unit 34 as extraction information.

  The person video memory group 33 includes individual person video memories M1 to Mn corresponding to the video cameras V1 to Vn. These person video memories M1 to Mn store video data extracted by the person specifying unit 31 and captured by each corresponding video camera. The video data stored in the person video memories M1 to Mn are appropriately output to the article detection unit 37, the behavior detection unit 38, and the still image extraction unit 40, respectively.

  The authentication unit 34 authenticates the person specified by the person specifying unit 31, that is, who the person is. For example, a front image of a face as a feature of the person extracted by the person specifying unit 31 When a facial feature is extracted from the search, a facial feature that is substantially the same as this facial feature is searched for in a person list stored in advance in the storage unit 35, and there is an individual who has the relevant facial feature Then, this individual is authenticated as a person extracted by the person specifying unit 31.

  Further, the authentication unit 34 determines whether the authenticated person is a store clerk or a customer based on information stored in the storage unit 35 in advance. Here, identification information for identifying the person is assigned to the authenticated person, and information indicating that the person is a store clerk or a customer is associated with the identification information and stored in the storage unit 35. Yes.

  Further, when the identification information adding unit 36 authenticates a person to whom temporary identification information is assigned (hereinafter referred to as a non-specific identified person), the authentication unit 34 displays information indicating that the authentication has been performed. It outputs to the apparatus detection part 46 as trigger information.

  The storage unit 35 stores information such as customer identification information (for example, an identification number), a store clerk or a customer, an individual name, a customer's behavior and business history, a face still image, and facial features as a person list. . In response to a request from the authentication unit 34, the storage unit 35 outputs information such as facial features necessary for human authentication to the authentication unit 34. Furthermore, when new identification information (hereinafter simply referred to as temporary identification information) is given by the identification information adding unit 36, the storage unit 35 extracts the temporary identification information by the still image extraction unit 40. Information such as the still image to be performed and the facial feature information extracted by the person specifying unit 31 are stored in association with each other.

  Further, the storage unit 35 stores character data of a predetermined action converted by a character data conversion unit 39, which will be described later, in association with the identification information of the authenticated person, and the predetermined data converted by the character data conversion unit 39. The character data of the action is stored in association with the provisional identification information given by the identification information giving unit 36. In addition, the storage unit 35 stores the still image extracted by the later-described still image extraction unit 40 in association with the identification information and the provisional identification information.

The identification information giving unit 36 gives temporary identification information to a person who cannot be authenticated by the above-described authentication unit 34, that is, a person who does not know who such as a customer who has not opened an account. . Here, as the temporary identification information, for example, identification information such as “Unknown1”, “Unknown2”,... “UnknownN” is given.
The article detection unit 37 detects video data stored in the person video memory group 33, that is, a predetermined article shown in each video captured by the video cameras V 1 to Vn, and uses the detected information as the behavior detection unit 38. Output to. Examples of the predetermined article include “passbook” and “seal”.

  The action detecting unit 38 detects a predetermined action of the person specified by the person specifying unit 31, and stores store layout information (see FIG. 2) stored in advance in the storage unit 35, and the video cameras V1 to V1. A person who is determined to be a store clerk at the authentication unit 34 while detecting a predetermined action of the person specified by the person specifying unit 31 based on the video imaged by the Vn and the detection information of the article detecting unit 37 And a predetermined action performed by the person based on the positional relationship with the person authenticated by the authentication unit 34 as a customer and the layout information inside the store, and the detected information is converted into a character data conversion unit. Output to 39.

The character data conversion unit 39 converts the predetermined behavior detected by the behavior detection unit 38 into character data, and outputs the converted character data of the predetermined behavior to the storage unit 35.
When the behavior detection unit 38 detects a predetermined behavior, the still image extraction unit 40 extracts a still image of the person who has performed the behavior from the video data, and outputs the extracted still image data to the storage unit 35. To do.

The search unit 41 uses information (for example, a person list) stored in the storage unit 35 to include information that matches a predetermined keyword input via the operation input unit 61 and information that includes at least a phrase related to the keyword. Search is performed, and necessary information is output from the searched information to the display unit 60. Further, when a designation operation such as a time zone or a place imaged as a predetermined input operation is performed via the operation input unit 61, the search unit 41 retrieves video data that matches the designated condition from the person video memory group 33. Is retrieved from the video data stored therein, and the video is output to the display unit 60.
The display unit 60 is a display such as a liquid crystal display, and displays the information input from the search unit 41 on the screen and reproduces the searched video data on the screen.

  When the trigger information is input from the authentication unit 34, the device detection unit 46 connects the device to which the person to whom the provisional identification information is given is engaged in the transaction to the control device 30 via the connection unit 45. In-store transaction processing device 1-No. 3 ATM52 and No. 3 1-No. The detection information is detected from the three-window operating device 58 and this detection information is output to the collection unit 47. Here, as a method of detecting the transaction processing device by the device detection unit 46, there are a method of specifying from the arrangement of the video cameras V1 to Vn that captures a person, a method of specifying from the layout information inside the store, and the like.

  When the detection information is input from the device detection unit 46, the collection unit 47 collects information that is being traded from the detected transaction processing device as collection information, and this collected information is collected as the related information recording unit 48 and the related party reference information. Each is output to the recording unit 49. Here, as information during the transaction, No. 1-No. In the case of 3ATM52, for example, information obtained from a customer's operation, such as information obtained from a cash card, information obtained at the time of a transfer operation, or the like. 1-No. In the case of the three-window operating device 58, the information is input by an operator such as a teller.

When the collected information is input from the collecting unit 47, the related information recording unit 48 stores the collected information in the storage unit 35 as personal related information in association with the provisional identification information authenticated by the authentication unit 34. That is, the collected information may be customer information that can specify the individual name of the customer who visited the store, or may be customer information that can specify the family name of the customer, and store these as personal related information. 35 is stored.
Further, the related information recording unit 48 sets the temporary identification information when the quantity of the personal related information associated with the temporary identification information reaches a predetermined amount sufficient as a material for identifying the person. Can be registered in the storage unit 35 as identification information for identifying an individual. In addition, as a method of registering temporary identification information as identification information, a method in which identification information specified by an individual is given and registered after a user performs a confirmation operation, or identification information specified by an individual is automatically registered. Appropriate methods can be used, such as a method of assigning and registering.

The related person reference information recording unit 49 compares the collected information collected by the collecting unit 47 with the characteristic information of the person specified from the video of the video cameras V1 to Vn, and the collected information that is a combination that cannot be clearly matched. Is stored in the storage unit 35 as related party reference information in association with the provisional identification information authenticated by the authentication unit 34. That is, as one piece of collected information, when the gender of the customer is recorded as male, the person identified from the video of the video cameras V1 to Vn is clearly identified as female. As one piece of information, when the age information of the customer is recorded as being minor, the person specified from the video of the video cameras V1 to Vn is clearly identified as being an adult, Or, as a piece of collected information, when an individual name such as a company that the customer himself / herself seems to work for is collected, etc. 35 is stored.
Here, for example, the collection information uniquely obtained from the cash card is the account number information of the customer, but the collection unit 47 collects relevant personal identification information from a headquarter server (not shown), as described above. For example, gender information, date of birth information or company information is collected and compared.
Further, when the collection unit 47 can collect, for example, the family composition information, the comparison is made with the feature information of the person specified from the videos of the video cameras V1 to Vn, and the similarity is determined. The storage unit 35 can store the similar information indicating the parent-child relationship.

  Further, the related party reference information recording unit 49, when the quantity of related party reference information associated with one temporary identification information reaches a predetermined quantity sufficient as a material for specifying a person, Temporary identification information can be registered in the storage unit 35 as identification information specifying an individual. In addition, as a method of registering temporary identification information as identification information, a method in which identification information specified by an individual is given and registered after a user performs a confirmation operation, or identification information specified by an individual is automatically registered. Appropriate methods can be used, such as a method of assigning and registering.

The behavior management system 10 according to this embodiment has the above-described configuration. Next, the operation of the behavior management system 10 will be described. The operation of the behavior management system 10 is installed in a financial institution's store, and three Nos. 1-No. 3 ATM52 and three No.3. 1-No. A case where the three-window operating device 58 is connected to the control device 30 will be described as an example.
First, when the behavior management apparatus 100 is turned on, imaging by the video cameras V1 to Vn is started. The video data captured by the video camera V1 is stored in the video buffer B1, the video data captured by the video camera V2 is stored in the video buffer B2, the video data captured by the video camera V3 is stored in the video buffer B3, and similarly. Video data captured by the video camera Vn is temporarily stored in the video buffer Bn.

  Next, the video data temporarily stored in the video buffers B1 to Bn are sequentially output to the person specifying unit 31, and the output video data is deleted from the video buffers B1 to Bn. Then, the person specifying unit 31 determines whether or not a person is included in the video data (whether or not a person is specified). If the result of this determination is that a person is included in the video, the person is specified. Information such as facial features is output to the authentication unit 34. Further, only the video data in which the person is specified by the person specifying unit 31 is extracted and output to the person video memories M1 to Mn for storage. Here, the video data determined not to include a person by the person specifying unit 31 is deleted.

  When the person is specified by the person specifying unit 31, authentication processing of the person specified by the authentication unit 34 is performed. This authentication process matches the feature information (for example, facial features) of the person list stored in the storage unit 35 with the personal features (for example, facial features) specified by the person specifying unit 31. It is determined whether or not there is feature information. As a result of the determination, if the storage unit 35 includes feature information of a person that matches the feature of the person specified by the person specifying unit 31, the storage unit 35 Identify identification information associated with the characteristics of the person.

  Further, as another authentication process, it is determined whether the authenticated person is a customer or a clerk based on information indicating a clerk or a customer associated with the identification information in the storage unit 35. Here, in the authentication process of the authentication unit 34, a person who has not been authenticated in the past and has been given temporary identification information in the authentication process is also authenticated. For example, when it matches with the feature information of a person having temporary identification information “Unknown 325” stored in the storage unit 35 in the past, the temporary identification information “Unknown 325” is specified.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the feature information of the person that matches the feature of the person specified by the person specifying unit 31 is not stored in the storage unit 35, the identification information providing unit 36 determines whether the customer cannot be authenticated. Thus, provisional identification information for the customer that could not be authenticated by the authentication unit 34 is newly given. Then, the temporary identification information for the customer that could not be authenticated is output to the storage unit 35. In the storage unit 35, when temporary identification information is input from the identification information adding unit 36, the temporary identification information is stored as new registration information.

  When the authentication process is performed by the authentication unit 34, the apparatus detection unit 46 detects a transaction processing apparatus in which a person who is a subject of the authentication process is performing a transaction. Here, in the apparatus detection unit 46, for example, No. If 2ATM52 is detected, this No. The collection unit 47 collects cash card information, transfer source information, and the like input to the 2 ATM 52. In addition, when the applicable transaction processing apparatus is not detected in the apparatus detection part 46, the detection process of a transaction processing apparatus is continued until the next authentication is started.

  The collected information collected by the collecting unit 47 is output to the related information recording unit 48 and the related person reference information recording unit 49. In the related information recording unit 48 to which the collected information is input, the information is stored in the storage unit 35 as personal related information in association with the provisional identification information specified by the authentication unit 34. Next, when each quantity of related party information associated with each temporary identification information reaches a predetermined quantity sufficient as a material for identifying a person, the individual is specified as the temporary identification information. The identification information is set in a state where registration in the storage unit 35 is possible.

  The related person reference information recording unit 49 compares the collected information with the characteristic information of the person specified from the video images of the video cameras V1 to Vn, and for the collected information that cannot be clearly matched, the authentication unit 34 The information is stored in the storage unit 35 as related person reference information in association with the authenticated temporary identification information. At this time, when the personal identification information that is further basic of the collected information is collected by the collecting unit 47, it is compared with the feature information of the person specified from the video images of the video cameras V1 to Vn, and the degree of similarity is determined. Then, it is stored in the storage unit 35 as similar information.

  In parallel with the authentication process by the authentication unit 34, the article detection unit 37 detects a predetermined article registered in advance from the video data newly stored in the person video memories M1 to Mn. Information on the detected article is output to the behavior detection unit 38.

  In the behavior detection unit 38, the customer video associated with the temporary identification information received from the identification information or the identification information adding unit 36, the layout stored in the storage unit 35, and the video camera V1 that captured the video The predetermined behavior of the customer is detected based on the arrangement of .about.Vn. For example, when the customer enters the store from the front entrance 50, “Visit from the front entrance” is detected, and when the customer is imaged by the video camera Vn arranged in the ATM corner 51, direct action is taken. "Operating ATM of No. N" is detected. Alternatively, “deposit”, “withdrawal”, “transfer”, “passbook entry”, “exchange”, and the like are detected as predetermined actions that can be inferred. Further, when a customer is detected from an image of a camera that captures the vicinity of a reception ticket issuing machine (not shown), “reception” is detected as a predetermined action.

  The behavior detection unit 38 further detects the positional relationship between the customer and the store clerk from the captured image, and detects a predetermined behavior based on the positional relationship. For example, when it is detected that the customer has moved close to a store clerk who is in charge of a predetermined business, “transaction at N-th window” or the like is detected as a direct action. Alternatively, when the business content handled by the store clerk is account opening or cancellation, "account opening" or "cancellation" is detected as a predetermined action that can be analogized.

  The behavior detection unit 38 further detects a predetermined behavior of the customer based on the type of the article detected by the article detection unit 37. For example, when it is detected that a customer has taken out a card or passbook at the ATM corner 51, the direct actions are “take out the card from the wallet”, “insert the card into the ATM”, “ Detects “take out from bags”. Further, “deposit”, “withdrawal”, “passbook entry” and the like are detected as predetermined actions that can be inferred. Then, when it is detected that the customer is at a window for performing a predetermined job and a seal is further detected, “take out the seal from the bags” or the like is detected as a direct action. Or since it is limited to the operation | work which uses a seal | sticker from the predetermined | prescribed business, ie, the action which uses a seal | sticker, this limited action is detected as a customer's predetermined | prescribed action.

Next, the predetermined behavior detected by the behavior detection unit 38 is converted into character data by the character data conversion unit 39 and output to the storage unit 35. In the still image extraction unit 40, a still image including a person when the action detection unit 38 detects a predetermined action is extracted from a video (moving image) obtained by capturing the person and is output to the storage unit 35.
In the storage unit 35, the predetermined action converted into character data and the still image extracted by the still image extraction unit 40 are stored in association with the identification information and the provisional identification information as related information.

  Here, an example of information stored in the storage unit 35 described above is shown in the following table. Note that “jpg” in the image in the table indicates an example of a file extension. In this table, for convenience, data such as facial features for specifying a person (hereinafter simply referred to as extraction information) is omitted. The date / time information is also stored in association with each stored information, but is omitted in this table. Furthermore, in this table, only one piece of stored information related to one action is shown for one piece of identification information or one piece of temporary identification information, but this is not restrictive. From the time of visiting the store to the time of leaving the store, the behavior to be recorded is recorded by the amount detected and confirmed by the behavior detecting unit 38.

  When a store manager or the like inputs a keyword (for example, “01”, “payment”, or a customer name) for searching related information in the storage unit 35 via the operation input unit 61, the search is performed. In the part 41, the identification information including the identification information matching the keyword and the phrase related to the keyword is searched from the related information stored in the storage unit 35. Displayed on the display unit 60.

  When a predetermined operation input for confirming the video data stored in the person video memories M1 to Mn is performed on the operation input unit 61, the search unit 41 stores the person video memories M1 to Mn in the person video memories M1 to Mn. Video data that matches the input conditions is retrieved from the stored video data, and is reproduced and displayed by the display unit 60. Furthermore, when a predetermined input operation for selectively deleting video data is performed by the person in charge of the store or the like via the operation input unit 61, the corresponding video data is deleted.

  Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, the person specifying unit 31 specifies a person from the images inside the store captured by the video cameras V1 to Vn, the person specified by the authentication unit 34 is authenticated, and the action The detection unit 38 detects a predetermined behavior of the person specified by the authentication unit 34, converts the predetermined behavior detected by the behavior detection unit 38 into character data by the character data conversion unit 39, and detects the specified person's behavior. Since it can be stored in the storage unit 35 in association with the identification information, the amount of data can be greatly reduced by the amount that can be stored as character data compared to the conventional case where all captured images are stored. Based on this, it is possible to easily search for an action of a specific person.

  In addition, No. which is a transaction processing apparatus installed in a store for processing related to various transactions. 1-No. 3 ATM52 and No. 3 1-No. By connecting the three-window operating device 58 and the control device 30 through the connection unit 45, No. 3 1-No. 3 ATM52 and No. 3 1-No. Since various information acquired by the three-window operating device 58 can be output to the control device 30, no. 1-No. 3 ATM52 and No. 3 1-No. Based on the information acquired by the three-window operating device 58, it is possible to increase the chance that an individual is specified in a person to whom temporary identification information is assigned.

  Further, when the individual non-specific identified person to whom the provisional identification information is assigned by the identification information giving unit 36 is authenticated by the authentication unit 34, No. 1-No. 3ATM52 and No.3. 1-No. The transaction processing device in which the person is performing a transaction is detected by the device detection unit 46 from among the three window operating machines 58, and further, the collected information is collected by the collection unit 47 from the detected transaction processing device. By storing the information in the storage unit 35 as personal related information by the related information recording unit 48, information for specifying the individual of the non-specific identified person can be automatically stored in the storage unit 35. As a result, Since it is possible to increase the amount of information that can be used to identify the individual of the non-specifically identified person, it is possible to contribute to the reduction of information regarding the non-specifically identified person.

  In addition, the collected information collected by the collecting means and the characteristic information of the non-specific identified person such as gender and age detected from the video are compared and collated, and the collected information that is a combination that cannot be clearly matched, The related person reference information can be stored in association with the identification information of the individual non-specific identified person. For example, even if the contents of the collected information collected from the transaction processing device and the characteristic information of the non-identified person do not match as one individual information, that is, even if the person doing the transaction is a proxy person, Since it can be estimated that the person is related to one individual and can be stored in association with temporary recognition information as related person reference information including the action, information related to that person as well as the person is stored. Thus, it can be used to identify an individual of a non-specific identified person.

  Furthermore, when the collected information and the related party information are compared and collated, by calling the personal identification information that is further basic of the collected information from the collection unit 47, for example, the individual specified by the collected information and the video are specified. It is possible to more reliably detect the difference between the person and the person in question, so that it is possible to store more related party reference information in association with the recognition information. Opportunities to be further increased.

  And, when at least one of personal related information and related person reference information stored in association with identification information of a non-personally identified person has reached a predetermined number, that is, to identify an individual When a sufficient amount of information is accumulated, provisional authentication information can be registered in the storage unit 35 as authentication information of one individual specified person with an individual specified. Can be reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the plurality of person video memories M1 to Mn are provided has been described. However, if the video cameras V1 to Vn that have captured the video data can be distinguished, the person video memories M1 to Mn are physically separated. It is not necessary to be separate, and it may be composed of one storage medium.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the customer's behavior is stored in association with the identification information has been described. However, the store clerk's behavior may be stored in the same manner. Moreover, although the example which provides the action management apparatus 100 in the store of financial institutions, such as a bank, was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this structure, For example, you may make it provide in places other than stores and stores other than a financial institution.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the video buffers B1 to Bn and the person video memories M1 to Mn are individually provided has been described. However, the functions of the person video memories M1 to Mn in the video buffers B1 to Bn, that is, personal It is also possible to have a function of storing video data of a person who cannot identify the user.
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the ATM and the window operating machine are connected has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as it is a device to which information on a non-personally identified individual is input.

It is a schematic block diagram of the action management system in embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows an example of the layout of the store in embodiment of this invention.
