DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is applied to a command and control system, a security system, and the like, detects a target to be monitored or dealt with, and processes and displays target information obtained from the detection result. Related to display systems.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a command and control system, a target display system has been used which detects a target in a remote place and generates and displays target information on the target from the detection result. As a method of detecting the target object, there are a radar and various sensors arranged at predetermined positions in the monitoring area, and visual observation by an observer.

Conventionally, basically, an observer communicates observation results visually and detection results obtained by radar and various sensors to a system side using a communication device or the like.
On the system side, the operator operates the input device and registers the detection result reported by the observer by voice or text in the host computer (server). The system generates target information from the registered detection results and displays the target information on a display screen. On the basis of the target information displayed on the screen of the display, the commander or the like grasps the position, scale, state, and the like of the target object, and performs monitoring or countermeasures according to a predetermined procedure.

[0004] Here, the target information includes information corresponding to an individual target (for example, an individual gun meaning a firepower unit such as a cannon) as a target object (indicated as individual gun information), and a collection of the individual targets (group). (FU information, FU is an abbreviation of fire unit) corresponding to the unit target.

[0005]

As described above, the conventional target display system generates target information on a detected target object through the intervention of an observer or an operator.
This is a method of displaying on the screen of the display. In such a system, it is difficult to realize a function of processing detection results from various detection devices including visual observation by an observer at high speed and integratedly. Specifically, if necessary, the aforementioned FU
Functions such as information and individual gun information are separately processed and displayed, or functions such as FU reprocessing (regrouping processing) for generating new FU information from the once obtained individual gun information are realized. Absent.

Particularly, in a command and control system, in order to quickly and effectively monitor and deal with a target object, high-precision target information is processed at a high speed, and a commander or the like can position, scale, and state the target object. It is desirable to have a display system that can accurately grasp such information. Specifically, for example, when a target object with a high degree of urgency occurs, in the conventional target display system,
It is difficult to respond immediately according to the display of the target information. In addition, communication by voice from an observer has a problem in that coordinate data for specifying the position of a target object or the like is erroneously transmitted, and as a result, accuracy of target information is reduced.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is applied to a command and control system or a security system, in particular, to generate target information on a target object from a plurality of types of detection results at high speed and with high accuracy, and monitor and deal with the target object. To provide a target display system that displays the target information so that the target information can be executed quickly and effectively.

[0008]

Specifically, the display processing means combines the map data and the symbol data using the map data prepared in advance, and displays the symbol so that the position of the target object on the map can be visually confirmed. Execute the process.

With such a target display system, the map data corresponding to the area where the target object is present and the target information corresponding to the target object are synthesized and displayed on the screen of the display, so that the map is displayed. The position of the target object can be visually and accurately confirmed. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and effectively execute monitoring and coping with the target object.

A third aspect of the present invention is a target display system which detects a target by a plurality of types of detecting means, and generates and displays target information for monitoring or coping with the target from the respective detection results. Determining means for determining the importance or urgency of the target object based on a comparison result between the predetermined reference determination information and the target information; and determining the importance or urgency of the target object exceeding an allowable range based on the determination result. This system has a warning processing means (alarm means) for executing a warning display when the degree is indicated, and a display processing means for converting target information into predetermined symbol data and displaying it.

More specifically, the judging means judges the importance of the target object based on the comparison result between the reference judgment information of the importance set in advance and the target information, and when the importance exceeds the allowable range. It is determined whether or not the state included in the target information matches the reference state based on the comparison result between the reference determination information of the state set in advance and the target information, and when the determination result matches, It is determined whether or not the position included in the target information is included in the designated area.

According to such a target display system, not only the target information on the target object is displayed by judging the degree of importance or urgency defined in advance, but also
When indicating the degree of importance or the degree of urgency, a warning can be displayed. Therefore, for example, when the target object has moved to the dangerous area, by confirming the warning display, it is possible to shift to a procedure necessary for urgent coping. This makes it possible to minimize the occurrence of damage.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Basic System Configuration) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a basic configuration of a target display system related to the present embodiment.

This system is supposed to be applied to, for example, a command and control system. Each device of the system main body 5 is placed in a box called a shelter, and the shelter is mounted on a truck bed and can be moved. It is configured. The present system includes a system main body 5 and a plurality of types of detection device groups 10 to 10 connected to the system main body 5 by communication lines.
It consists of 12. The system body 5 is roughly divided into a server (host computer) 1 and a communication interface 2
And a character client 3 and a graphic client 4.

The detection device group is, specifically, a radar 10, various sensors 11, and an information terminal device 12 having a communication function operated by an observer. The communication interface 2 of the system body 5 is mainly composed of an exchange that performs communication processing, and is connected to a detection device group 10 through a wired or wireless communication line.
-12, each detection information (detection result of the target object) is received.

The server 1 executes control / overall processing of the entire system, and performs processing (described later) such as target information generation processing, determination processing, and display control processing related to the embodiment by software stored in advance. Execute. The character client 3 is a personal computer or a workstation, and usually has a function of a form processing system, and mainly has an input / output function of character information (including a command of a judgment processing system). The graphic client 4 is also a personal computer or a workstation, and usually has a function of a graphic processing system, and has a function of executing a symbol display process described later.

As shown in FIG. 2, the character client 3 and the graphic client 4 have, as basic hardware configurations, a CPU 20, a display 21, an input operation unit 22, a memory 23, and a hard disk drive ( HDD) 24. Input operation unit 2
2 has a keyboard and a mouse. Further, the graphic client 4 stores a symbol table 240 and map data (image data) 241 as a database prepared in advance in the HDD 24 and required for symbol display processing. Note that the character client 3 and the server 1 also
A database required for each information processing is stored in advance.

(Target Information Generation Processing and Symbol Display Processing) The procedure of the target display processing of the embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 and FIGS. 4 to 10.

First, when a target object is detected by the detection device groups 10 to 12, each detection information (detection result) is transmitted through a communication line. The system body 5 receives the respective detection information via the communication interface 2 and stores the information in an HDD or the like controlled by the server 1. Detection information is radar 1
The radar information from 0, the sensor information from various sensors 11, and the observation information transmitted by the information terminal device 12 by voice or character data from an observer who visually observes the target object.

The server 1 generates target information for identifying and determining a target from each received and stored detection information. In the embodiment, as described above, the target information includes, as described above, the individual gun information corresponding to the individual gun which means a firepower unit such as a cannon, and a unit in which individual guns as individual targets are grouped (grouped). It is roughly divided into FU information corresponding to the target.

More specifically, the server 1 generates target information in a format as shown in FIG. That is, the FU information includes position data including the coordinate data of E, N, and H and size data indicating the size. The E and N coordinate data are data indicating positions (corresponding to a distance from a reference position on a map) on coordinate axes in which the east direction and the north direction are orthogonal to each other. The H coordinate data is data indicating a position in the height direction (corresponding to a contour line on a map). The individual gun information includes position data (E, N, H coordinate data) for each individual gun (here, 1 to 18). Further, the target information includes data indicating the type and scale of FU information and individual gun information. The type data means the type of the target unit, and is data for identifying, for example, a tank unit or an ordinary unit (infantry unit). The scale data means the scale of the target unit, and is, for example, data for identifying a battalion or a company.

The processing procedure of the FU information generated based on the detection information from the radar 10 will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The server 1 executes a region and visibility check process on the generated FU information (ie, the detection information received from the radar 10) (steps S1 and S2). The area check processing is the FU position data E, N,
This is a check of the H coordinate, and is a process of determining whether or not the H coordinate is included in the assumed area. The visibility check process is a process for determining the accuracy of information in consideration of the performance of the radar 10. After such a check process, the server 1 assigns an ID code (sign number / information number) to the FU information, and performs processing so that a large number of FU information can be identified (step S3).

Further, the server 1 executes a process of checking the importance of the FU information and a process of checking the urgency (steps S4 and S5). The importance check process is, in short, a process for determining the degree of risk for the target object. The urgency check process is a process for determining whether or not urgent action is required based on the scale and state (movement, etc.) of the target object. Each check process will be described later as a modification of the embodiment (see FIGS. 22 to 26).

If the target object is recognized as a firing target based on the results of the above-mentioned importance and urgency checks, the server 1 further executes a confirmation check process for confirming the target object (step S6). YES, S7). That is, the accuracy of the FU information is confirmed on the assumption that an emergency response such as an attack is performed on the target object.
Specifically, the server 1 previously stores information regarding the performance of the radar 10 at the time of acquiring the FU information as a database, and estimates that, for example, a high-performance radar has high accuracy in the FU information. On the other hand, when the FU information is based on, for example, an observation result from an observer, the server 1 determines that the accuracy is low and retransmits the detection information.
Further, based on the detection time for the target object, if a considerable time has elapsed since the detection, the server 1 retransmits the detection information because the target object may have already moved.

Further, the server 1 executes a duplication check process for checking whether or not the FU information is duplicated as the same target (step S8). That is, if the FU information has already been processed, the FU
Processing for the information will be stopped. Then, the server 1 shifts to symbol display processing for converting the FU information into symbol data and displaying it on the screen of the display, and requests the graphic client 4 (step S).
9).

The graphic client 4 converts the FU information into symbol data by referring to the symbol table 240 in a database stored in the HDD 24 in advance and displays the FU information on the screen of the display 21. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the FU information generated from the radar 10 based on the detection information is converted into symbol data 80 and displayed. The symbol data 81 shown in FIG.
This corresponds to individual gun information described later. Here, the graphic client 4 displays the FU information determined to be duplicated by the duplication check processing in a different color (for example, orange) to distinguish it from other FU information (or cannon information). . Further, the graphic client 4
FU information for which FU reprocessing (described later) is determined to be necessary by the duplication check processing is displayed in a different color (for example, orange) to distinguish it from other FU information (or individual gun information). The graphic client 4 executes a coordinate determination process accompanying the symbol display process, and when the determination result is an error, causes the server 1 to re-execute the process of retransmitting the detection information to the process of the FU information (Step S).
10 YES).

The graphic client 4 includes a display 21
Is operated (clicked) with the mouse on the "FU determination" button displayed on the screen of (1), FU reprocessing (regrouping processing) is executed (YES in step S11, S1).
2). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, two types of FU information 70 and 71 based on detection information from different radars.
Is generated and symbol-displayed (different display colors). In this case, when the operator clicks the “FU judgment” button on the screen according to the command of the commander, the graphic client 4 designates a FU reprocessing target as a rectangle and
Execute U reprocessing. In this case, the commander has two types of FU
The information 70 and 71 are determined to be the same target object, and FU re-processing for setting both as the same group is executed. Here, the rectangle corresponds to a designated area on the map data described later.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the FU information 80 based on the detection information from the radar and the individual gun information 81 based on the observation result from the observer are symbol-displayed (different display colors). Is the case. In this case, when the operator clicks the “FU judgment” button on the screen in accordance with the command of the commander, the graphic client 4 designates the FU reprocessing target as a rectangle, executes FU reprocessing, and stores the individual gun information 81 in FU. This will be set within the range of the information 80. FIG. 9 shows a case in which a rectangle is specified so as to include the individual gun information 91 displayed in different colors among the plurality of individual gun information.
When the operator clicks the “FU judgment” button on the screen with the pointer cursor 90, the graphic client 4 executes the FU re-processing for the individual gun information group designated by the rectangle. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the graphic client 4 displays on the screen of the display 21 after executing the FU reprocessing in response to the operation of the “FU determination” button.
On the screen, the reprocessed symbol data 100 is displayed by, for example, a dotted line or a predetermined display color. When the operator clicks the “OK” button on the operation screen of the display 21 with the pointer cursor 30 as shown in FIG. 3, the graphic client 4 determines the reprocessed symbol data 100 (step S13). In this case, the symbol data 101 corresponding to the individual gun information excluded from the group by the FU reprocessing is deleted. If you want to reprocess further, after editing each parameter,
What is necessary is just to click the button of "re-FU judgment" on the operation screen. In the FU re-processing, the specified rectangular area is divided into mesh configurations, and a group is formed by calculating a total value of weighting parameters for each mesh using a template of a mesh configuration prepared in advance. Determine the range of symbol data. “Threshold” on the operation screen shown in FIG. 3 is an operation unit for setting the weighting parameter.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG.
The processing procedure of the individual gun information generated based on the detection information from the radar 10 and the observer (the information terminal device 12) will be described.

The processing procedure is basically the same as the processing procedure of the FU information shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the server 1 executes a region and view check process on the generated individual gun information (steps S21 and S2).
2). The content of each check process is the same as that of the FU information. After the checking process, the server 1 assigns an ID code (sign number / information number) to the individual gun information and performs processing so that a large number of individual gun information can be identified (step S).
23).

Further, the server 1 executes the process of checking the importance of the individual gun information and the process of checking the urgency (steps S24 and S25). The content of each check process is F
This is similar to the case of U information. The server 1 performs a duplication check process for checking whether or not the individual gun information is duplicated as the same target (step S26). That is, if it overlaps with the already processed individual gun information, the processing for the individual gun information is naturally stopped.
Then, the server 1 shifts to symbol display processing for converting the FU information into symbol data and displaying the symbol data on the display screen, and requests the graphic client 4 (step S27).

The graphic client 4 executes the same processing as the above-described symbol display processing for FU information. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, the gun information generated from the radar 10 based on the detection information is
Converted to 1 and displayed. Here, figure client 4
The individual gun information determined to be duplicated by the duplication check processing is displayed in a different color (for example, orange) to distinguish it from other individual gun information. Further, the graphic client 4 also uses a different color (for example, orange) for the cannon information determined to require the FU re-processing by the duplication check processing to distinguish it from other cannon information.
To display. The graphic client 4 executes a coordinate determination process accompanying the symbol display process, and if the determination result is an error, causes the server 1 to re-execute the process from the retransmission process of the detection information to the process of the individual gun information (step S28). YE
S). The graphic client 4 is connected to the display 21
FU re-processing (re-grouping processing) with the FU information or the individual gun information is executed in response to the operation of the "FU determination" button displayed on the screen (step S29).
To S31).

As described above, according to the system of the embodiment, various detection information of the target object is received from the radar 10, the various sensors 11, and the information terminal device 12 operated by the observer through the communication line. , High-speed processing to generate and process target information such as FU information and individual gun information. Further, by executing various check processes and FU reprocessing, highly accurate target information including elements such as a position, a scale, and a state of the target object can be generated. Furthermore, by displaying the generated target information as a symbol that makes it easy to visually execute various evaluations and determinations, it is possible to quickly and effectively execute monitoring and coping with the target object.

(First Modification) FIGS. 11 to 21 are diagrams related to a first modification of the embodiment. This modification relates to a symbol display function by the graphic client 4 of the system main body 5.

The system configuration of this modified example is roughly divided into FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, a target information processing unit 110, a symbol data generation unit 111, and a map data database 241
And a graphic display unit (display) 21. The target information processing unit 110 is a main component in the above-described embodiment, and is actually a function of the server 1. Therefore, the symbol data generation unit 111, the map data database 241 and the graphic display unit (display) 21 are functions included in the graphic client 4.

The symbol display function of this modification utilizes a map database 241 in which a map of a predetermined range including a detection area of a target object is formed as image data, and converts the target information into a map corresponding to the detection area. The symbol data is synthesized and displayed. Hereinafter, FIG.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, as described above, target information related to the target detected by the server 1 is generated, and processing including various check processing is executed (step S4).
1). This target information processing corresponds to steps S1 to S8 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 or steps S21 to S26 shown in the flowchart of FIG. The graphic client 4 determines the type of the target information obtained from the server 1 and executes a code generation process for generating a code corresponding to the type (step S4).
2). The graphic client 4 includes a symbol data generation unit 11
The function of (1) executes a symbol generation process of generating symbol data from the generated code (a type code for identifying the target object) (step S43). This symbol generation processing will be described later with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

The graphic client 4 determines that the target information not included in the assumed type is an error by the type determination processing, and sends the target information processing unit 110 (server 1) to re-transmit the target information. Instruct input (Step S
44 YES). Here, the type of the target information means, for example, the type of a target unit, equipment, facility, or the like. When there is no error in the target information, the graphic client 4 searches the map database 241 and executes processing for expanding map data (image data) including the detection area of the target target in the memory 23 (Step S44). N
O, S45).

Here, the graphic client 4 executes coordinate determination processing for displaying the symbol data (target object) generated by the symbol data generation unit 111 on the map, and includes the coordinate data in the coordinate range of the selected map data. If not, it is determined that an error has occurred. Also in this case, the target information processing unit 110 (server 1) is instructed to re-enter the target information. If there is no error in the target information, the graphic client 4 executes a combining process of superimposing the symbol data generated by the symbol data generating unit 111 so that the coordinates match the developed map data (step S46). ). Then, the graphic client 4
As shown in FIG. 3, the symbol data synthesized on the map is displayed on the screen of the display 21 (step S4).
7). In this specific example, on the screen of the display 21,
The four symbol data are superimposed and displayed on the map.

Referring now to the flowchart of FIG.
The symbol symbol generation process performed by the symbol data generation unit 111 will be described.

The graphic client 4 determines the type of the code (unit code) obtained by the type code generation process (step S42), and executes a process of checking the additional information based on the determination result (step S51). ~ S5
3). Here, if the code is not a unit code, the process proceeds to a process of generating various marks other than the unit code (step S57).

In this modified example, as shown in FIG. 16, the code of the unit code corresponding to the type of the target information is “code 2”.
Is assumed as a main element and a code other than this is additional information. That is, as described above, the reference numeral 2 indicates the type of the target unit, equipment, facility, and the like. “Code 1” means, for example, the size of a unit. “Code 3” means, for example, equipment of a unit (firearms or the like). “Code 4” means, for example, a unit number. “Code 5” to “Code 7” mean other additional items.

The graphic client 4 generates additional information based on the result of the determination of the type of the unit code and the result of the check of the additional information, and executes a process of synthesizing the additional information with the unit code (steps S54 and S55). Specifically, FIGS.
As shown in (1), a code for converting to symbol data is generated according to the symbol format for each type. FIG. 17 shows, for example, a troop-type symbol format, and “code 1” is a code indicating an active state. For example, “symbol 3” means importance, and “symbol 4” means the collection time of target information. FIG. 18 shows an equipment type symbol style, for example.
For example, “symbol 7” means activity modification. FIG. 19 shows, for example, a facility type symbol style, for example, “symbol 1”.
Indicates a state, and “symbol 2” indicates the size of target information and the like. FIG. 20 shows a command post type symbol format, for example, “symbol 4” means importance, and “symbol 5” means the collection time of target information. FIG. 21 shows another symbol format, for example, “symbol 2”.
Means the quantity, and “symbol 6” means the collection time of the target information.

The graphic client 4 executes a process of converting the target information into predetermined symbol data and outputting it based on the codes of the respective symbol formats (step S5).
6). The graphic client 4 refers to the symbol table 240 stored in the HDD 24 in advance and generates symbol data corresponding to the generated code. As a specific example, symbol data as shown in FIG. 12 is generated. This symbol data is the symbol 1 corresponding to the unit code 2
Reference numeral 20 indicates, for example, a general unit, a symbol 121 corresponding to the unit size indicates, for example, a battalion, and a symbol 122 corresponding to an activity state indicates, for example, moving. The number “3” means a unit number, and “1 /
"2" means a senior unit, and the other alphanumeric characters mean predetermined items.

As described above, according to the present modification, when target information is generated and a symbol is displayed on the screen of the display 21, map data including a detection area of the target information is developed, and The map data and the target target symbol data are combined and displayed. Therefore, the position of the target displayed as a symbol can be visually confirmed on the map from the screen of the display 21. In other words,
Since the map data and the symbol data are simultaneously displayed on the same screen, it is possible to easily grasp the target object. In addition, by displaying alphanumeric symbols indicating various kinds of additional information in addition to the symbol data, the visibility of the operator can be improved even when the amount of information necessary for grasping the target object is increased. it can.

(Second Modification) FIGS. 22 to 26 are diagrams related to a second modification of the embodiment. The present modification relates to an alarm function for executing an alarm process based on a determination result, particularly in relation to an information determination function of importance and urgency of target information in target information processing.

The system configuration of this modified example is roughly divided into FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, a target determination processing unit 200, a database 210 of determination criterion information, an alarm device 211, and a graphic display unit (display) 21 are provided. The target determination processing unit 200 and the database 210 are functions of the server 1, which is a main component in the above-described embodiment.

The alarm function of the present modification performs a warning display based on the judgment result of the urgency judgment processing of the target judgment processing section 200 (corresponding to the check processing S5 in FIG. 5) when the result is outside the allowable range. In this modification, it is assumed that the urgency determination processing includes the importance determination processing and is handled as a state determination processing and an area determination processing. Hereinafter, FIG.
This will be specifically described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

First, in this modified example, before the system main body 5 receives the detection information corresponding to the target object from each of the detection devices 10 to 12, the judgment criterion information is input from the character client 3 by the operation of the operator. It is assumed that the database 210 has been constructed. Thereafter, the system main body 5 executes a process of receiving and receiving target information (detection information) (including a process of generating target information) (step S61).

The target determination processing section 200 is a database 2
10, the reference information is selected, and the target information (including the FU information as described above) is collated with the reference information to execute a determination process as an urgency determination process (step S62). . The target determination processing unit 200 sounds an alarm to the alarm device 211 when the determination result is within the standard, that is, when the target information has the degree of importance or the state or the urgency that matches the area defined by the determination standard. Processing is instructed (YES in step S63, S65).
Further, the target determination processing unit 200 instructs the graphic client 4 to blink the symbol data corresponding to the target information displayed on the screen of the display 21 (step S66). On the other hand, when the determination result is out of the criterion, that is, when the target information does not match the importance or state defined by the criterion or the area and the urgency, the target symbol processing unit 200 displays a normal symbol on the graphic client 4. The execution of the process is instructed (NO in step S63, S64). That is, the alarm sounding process by the alarm device 211 and the blinking display process of the symbol data by the graphic client 4 are not executed.

Hereinafter, the determination processing of the target determination processing section 200 will be specifically described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

In the first judgment processing, the target judgment processing section 200 selects importance judgment reference information from the database 210 and executes an importance judgment processing for comparing the judgment reference information with the importance of the target information ( Steps S71, S7
2). Here, the criteria for determining the importance define nine levels of importance, for example, according to the type and scale of the target unit, for example.

If the determination result is equal to or greater than the reference value (within the standard), that is, if the target information is equal to or greater than the importance defined by the determination criterion, the target determination processing section 200 proceeds to the next state determination processing (step S73). YES). On the other hand, when the determination result is less than the reference value (out of the reference value), that is, when the target information is lower than the importance defined by the determination reference, the graphic client 4 is instructed to execute a symbol display process (N in step S73).
O).

The state determination processing and the area determination processing are included in the aforementioned urgency determination processing. Actually, the alarm function and the blinking symbol display function are controlled according to the determination result of the area determination processing. First, the target determination processing unit 200
A state determination criterion information is selected from the database 210, and a determination process for comparing the determination criterion information with the state of the target information is executed (steps S81 and S82). Here, the state determination criterion is defined as, for example, movement or gathering, which is the state of the target object, and when these states occur, the degree of urgency is high.

If the result of the determination is that the state of the target information (for example, moving) matches the content defined by the determination criterion, the target determination processing section 200 determines that the urgency is high and determines the next area. The processing shifts to the determination processing (YE in step S83).
S). On the other hand, the judgment result is the state of the target information (for example, stop)
Does not match the content defined by the criteria,
Assuming that the urgency is relatively low, the graphic client 4 is instructed to execute the symbol display processing (N in step S83).
O).

Next, the target determination processing section 200 selects area determination reference information from the database 210, and executes a determination process of comparing the determination reference information with the position of the target information (steps S91 and S92). Here, the area criterion information is, in short, an area name with a high degree of urgency when the target object moves. Therefore, the target determination processing unit 20
0 determines whether or not the position of the target information (the place where the target exists) is included in the range of the area name of the determination criterion information.

When the result of the determination is that the position of the target information is included in the area defined by the determination criterion, the target determination processing unit 200 determines that the urgency is high, An alarm sounding process is instructed (YES in step S93, S94). Also, the target determination processing unit 20
0 instructs the graphic client 4 to blink the symbol data corresponding to the target information displayed on the screen of the display 21 in a blinking manner. On the other hand, the target determination processing unit 200
When the determination result is out of the reference, that is, when the position of the target information is out of the area defined by the determination reference, the graphic client 4
To execute the symbol display process (step S93).
NO). That is, the alarm sounding process by the alarm device 211 and the blinking display process of the symbol data by the graphic client 4 are not executed.

As described above, according to this modification, when processing and displaying the target information generated based on the detection information from each detection device, the predetermined importance or state, and the area (region) of the predetermined area are defined. The urgency is determined, and in the case of target information having information indicating the importance or urgency within the criterion, a warning can be displayed by an alarm or a blinking symbol. Therefore, for example, when the target object has moved to the dangerous area, by confirming the warning display, it is possible to shift to a procedure necessary for urgent coping. This makes it possible to minimize the occurrence of damage.

The embodiment and the modifications have been described as being applied to a command and control system as a specific example. However, the invention is not limited to this and can be applied to, for example, a security system. When applied to a security system, the specific contents of the target information are naturally different from those described in the embodiment and the modifications.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the present invention is applied particularly to a command and control system or a security system, and generates target information on a target object from a plurality of types of detection results at high speed and with high accuracy. It is possible to provide a target display system that displays the target information so that monitoring and coping with the target object can be executed quickly and effectively. In particular, by synthesizing and displaying map data corresponding to the area where the target target exists and target information corresponding to the target target on the display screen, the position of the target target on the map can be visually and visually determined. It can be confirmed properly. In addition, by not only displaying the target information relating to the target object by judging the degree of importance or state and the degree of urgency of the area defined in advance, but also displaying a warning when the degree of urgency or the degree of urgency is high is indicated. Can be performed. Therefore, for example, when the target object has moved to the dangerous area, by confirming the warning display, it is possible to shift to a procedure necessary for urgent coping. This makes it possible to minimize the occurrence of damage.
