(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a relay transportation management system 1 according to the first embodiment. Information processing devices 3A, 3B, and 3C installed in a plurality of district distribution centers 2A, 2B, and 2C and an analysis device 5 installed in the central management center 4 are connected by a public network or a private network 6. As the public network or the private network 6, for example, the Internet, a mobile phone network, a public telephone line, an intranet, a dedicated telephone line, or the like is used. The relay trucks 7A, 7B, and 7C perform the relay transportation of the cargo between the respective centers of the district delivery centers 2A, 2B, and 2C. These relay tracks 7A, 7B, and 7C are equipped with imaging recording devices 8A, 8B, and 8C (see FIG. 2), which will be described later, and information processing devices 3A, Local data communication with 3B and 3C is possible.

  The term “local” as used herein refers to a communication distance that allows data communication when the relay trucks 7A, 7B, and 7C are located in any of the premises of each of the district distribution centers 2A, 2B, and 2C. Show. When the relay trucks 7A, 7B, 7C are outside the premises of the respective district delivery centers 2A, 2B, 2C, the information processing devices 3A, 3B, 3C installed in the respective district delivery centers and the relay trucks 7A, 7B, 7C Communication with the imaging recording devices 8A, 8B, and 8C is disabled.

  The number of district delivery centers constituting the relay delivery system of the present invention is not limited to three, and may be any number. Accordingly, the number of information processing devices, relay trucks, and imaging / recording devices installed in each district distribution center is not limited to three and may be any number. From the district delivery centers 2A, 2B, and 2C, a plurality of collection and delivery trucks (not shown) collect and deliver in each district.

  In FIG. 2, the imaging recording devices 8A, 8B, and 8C (hereinafter referred to as “imaging recording device 8”) and the camera 9 according to the first embodiment are mounted on the relay tracks 7A, 7B, and 7C (hereinafter referred to as “relay track 7”). It is a figure which shows an example. The imaging recording apparatus 8 according to the first embodiment will be described with respect to the installation type on the relay track 7. A portable type that can be loaded and unloaded into the cargo compartment 10 of the relay truck 7 together with general cargo will be described later.

  The camera 9 (imaging device) is provided on the opening / closing hinge side of the door 11 of the cargo compartment 10 surrounded by the ceiling 10A, the floor 10B, the walls 10D and 10E and the door 11 that can be opened and closed (that is, the loading / unloading exit 12 side of the cargo compartment 10). ) Is attached to the ceiling 10A. The camera 9 may be an omnidirectional type, a normal type or a wide angle type having a predetermined angle of view. As for the imaging conditions such as the installation position of the camera 9, the shooting direction, and the shooting magnification, the loading / unloading port 12 side end 10C of the floor 10B of the cargo compartment 10 is, for example, below the center of the imaging screen (preferably 3 minutes from the bottom). 1 or less) is set or sequentially adjusted (this will be described later).

  As will be described later, the installation type imaging recording apparatus 8 is connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 (see FIG. 3) and receives power supply from the in-vehicle battery 14. The imaging recording device 8 may reduce the use of the in-vehicle battery 14 by a power saving function described later, for example. The camera 9 which is an imaging device and the imaging recording device 8 can communicate with each other by wire or wireless. The power supply to the camera 9 may be performed via the imaging recording device 8 or directly from the in-vehicle battery 14. Although the imaging recording device 8 in FIG. 2 is mounted in the cargo compartment 10, it may be installed outside the cargo compartment 10, for example, in the driver's seat 15. Alternatively, the imaging recording device 8 may be integrated with the camera 9.

  The mobile device 60 such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal may be able to refer to recorded data recorded in the imaging recording device 8 or information related thereto. This point will be described in detail later.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a block configuration example of each device constituting the relay transportation management system of the first embodiment. The installation type imaging recording apparatus 8 can communicate with a camera 9 serving as an imaging apparatus and a door opening / closing sensor 11A that detects opening / closing of the door 11 (see FIG. 2) of the cargo compartment 10 using wired or wireless. The door opening / closing sensor 11A may be a physically provided switch, or may be a non-contact detection technology such as an ultrasonic wave, a laser beam, or a distance sensor.

  The recorder 17 (recording unit) of the imaging recording apparatus 8 records the imaging data of the camera 9 via the camera interface 18 (hereinafter “camera I / F 18”). A door opening / closing detection interface 19 (hereinafter referred to as “door opening / closing detection I / F 19”) constituting the control unit 8X of the imaging recording apparatus 8 converts a signal from the door opening / closing sensor 11A. In addition, the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 may receive, via the camera I / F 18, a detection result of a distance sensor used, for example, when the camera 9 is zoomed or focused.

  As described in FIG. 2, in FIG. 3, the power supply unit 20 of the installation type imaging / recording apparatus 8 is connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 (see FIG. 3) and receives power supply from the in-vehicle battery 14. The power supply unit 20 may be connected to a built-in battery 21 that can be charged / discharged as an auxiliary power source or to perform a power saving operation. When the built-in battery 21 is connected to the power supply unit 20, the power supply unit 20 may include a charging circuit (not shown) for receiving power supplied from the in-vehicle battery 14 and charging the built-in battery 21. Good. When the power supply unit 20 is connected to the accessory power supply line 14 </ b> A, the imaging / recording device 8 uses the built-in battery 21 as an auxiliary power supply for securing power necessary for the operation when the engine key 14 </ b> B is in the “LOCK” position. It is good to have. In particular, during relay transportation, even when the door 11 is opened with the engine key 14B set to the “LOCK” position, recording by the imaging recording device 8 can be performed by supplying power from the built-in battery 21.

  When the power supply unit 20 is not connected to the accessory power supply line 14 </ b> A of the in-vehicle battery 14 but directly connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 and receives power supply from the always-connected power supply line 14 </ b> C, the built-in battery 21 is not necessarily required. However, when loading and unloading cargo on the relay truck 7, it is assumed that the door 11 is opened for a long time while the engine (not shown) is stopped. In that case, not only the camera 9 and the control unit 8X of the imaging apparatus but also the recorder 17 operates for a long time to record the imaging data of the camera 9. As a result, the in-vehicle battery 14 is greatly consumed, which may hinder the operation of the relay truck 7 itself. Therefore, even when the power supply unit 20 is directly connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 and receives power supply from the constantly connected power supply line 14 </ b> C, it is desirable that the imaging recording apparatus 8 includes the built-in battery 21.

  In the following description of the first embodiment, the description will be made on the premise that the power supply unit 20 is connected to the accessory power supply line 14 </ b> A of the in-vehicle battery 14. In the case where the power supply unit 20 is directly connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 and receives power supply from the constantly connected power supply line 14C, supplementary explanation will be given as appropriate.

  The control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 may be provided with an engine key position detection unit 22 connected to the accessory power supply line 14A of the relay track 7 (see FIG. 2). The engine key position detection unit 22 detects power supply from the in-vehicle battery 14 when the engine key is in a position other than “LOCK” (that is, “ACC”, “ON”, or “START”).

  In the area detection unit 23 constituting the control unit 8X of the imaging recording device 8, the local communication unit 24 can communicate with the information processing devices 3A, 3B, or 3C (hereinafter “information processing device 3”) of the district delivery center. Is detected. Based on this detection, the control unit 8X of the imaging / recording apparatus 8 can determine that the relay truck 7 has entered the site of the district delivery center 2A, 2B or 2C (hereinafter, “zone delivery center 2”). For the local communication unit 24, a local wireless communication technology such as a wireless LAN may be used, or a communication technology using a wired connection may be used. Then, the distribution center area inside / outside detection unit 23 uses the local communication unit 24 in combination with the local communication unit 24 or other location identification technology such as GPS 25 instead of the local communication unit 24, so that the local communication unit 24 It may be detected that an area that can communicate with the information processing apparatus 3 is entered.

  The recording instruction unit 26 constituting the control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 starts or stops recording of the recorder 17 based on the detection result by the area detection unit 23, door opening / closing detection I / F 19 or engine key position detection unit 22 described above. Instruct. Similarly, the transmission data combination unit 27 constituting the control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 uses the detection result of the door opening / closing detection I / F 19, the engine key position detection unit 22 or the distribution center area inside / outside detection unit 23 to record the inside of the recorder 17. The combination to be uploaded is specified from the recorded data. Then, the transmission data combination unit 27 transmits the specified combination of recorded data to the information processing device 3 in the communicable district distribution center via the local communication unit 24.

  The information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 receives the combination of the recording data transmitted from the communicable imaging recording device 8 via the local communication unit 30, stores it in the imaging data set storage unit 31, and the combination. The number of recorded data included in the recorded image pickup number determination unit 32 is determined. When the number of recorded data included in the combination is determined to be different from the normal time by the recording / imaging number determination unit 32, the information processing apparatus 3 passes the central management center 4 ( The combination of the recorded data is transmitted as an analysis target to the analysis device 5 of FIG. When the recording / imaging number determination unit 32 determines that the number of recorded data included in the combination is normal, the information processing apparatus 3 maintains the storage of the combination of the recorded data in the imaging data storage unit 31. You can do it. Alternatively, the information processing apparatus 3 may have a retention period management function (not shown) and automatically delete recorded data whose retention period has expired. Further, the information processing device 3 may move the combination of the recorded data to a backup storage medium (not shown).

  The analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 (see FIG. 1) receives the combination of the recording data to be analyzed transmitted from the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 by the inter-center communication unit 51, and the analysis target data set The data is stored in the storage unit 52. The analysis unit 53 analyzes each combination of the recording data to be analyzed, and confirms whether or not there is actually any abnormality during the transit of the cargo.

  The relay transportation management system of the first embodiment having the above-described configuration and the operation examples and features of each device constituting the system are as follows.

  FIG. 4 is a timing chart showing an operation example of the installation type imaging / recording apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 (a) shows the present embodiment when an event to be confirmed is not found during transportation. 12 is a timing chart illustrating an operation example of the stationary type imaging recording apparatus 8 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4B is a timing chart illustrating an operation example of the stationary type imaging recording apparatus 8 according to the first embodiment when an event to be confirmed is found during transportation. That is, FIG. 4A shows a case where it is determined that normal relay transportation has been performed, and FIG. 4B shows that there is a possibility that “normal” relay transportation has not been performed (“abnormal”. The case is determined). FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image captured by the camera 9 according to the first embodiment. 4 and 5 will be described in combination with FIGS. 1 to 3 described above.

  1 to 5, recording or stopping of image data captured by the camera 9 (see FIG. 3) on the recorder 17 (see FIG. 3) is basically linked with the opening / closing detection by the door opening / closing detection I / F 19. Done. That is, when the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects a transition from closing to opening of the door 11 (see FIG. 2) of the cargo compartment 10 (S401, S403, S405), the recording constituting the control unit 8X of the imaging recording apparatus 8 is performed. The instruction unit 26 instructs the recorder 17 to start recording. When the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects a transition from opening to closing of the door 11 (see FIG. 2) of the cargo compartment 10 (S402, S404, S404), the recording that constitutes the control unit 8X of the imaging recording device 8 is performed. The instruction unit 26 instructs the recorder 17 to stop recording.

  Corresponding to such a set of opening and closing of the door 11 (S401 and S402, S403 and S404, S405 and S406), each recording data 171A, 171B, 171C includes, for example, the photographed image 13 shown in FIG. Is recorded on the recorder 17. The imaging conditions such as the installation position of the camera 9, the imaging direction, and the imaging magnification are such that the loading / unloading exit 12 side end 10 </ b> C of the floor 10 </ b> B of the cargo compartment 10 is below the center line 13 </ b> A of the imaging screen 13 (preferably 3 from below). Or less than 1 / minute). In other words, the camera 9 has an opening when the door 11 of the cargo compartment 10 is opened, that is, a boundary line between the loading / unloading port 12 and the floor 10 </ b> B on the imaging screen 13. It is installed in the cargo compartment 10 so as to be biased to one side of the parallel virtual center line. By setting the camera 9 as described above, the camera 9 can reliably photograph the face 12B of the person 12A standing just outside the loading / unloading port 12 of the cargo compartment 10. (On the contrary, when the loading / unloading exit 12 side end 10C of the floor 10B is equal to or higher than the central portion 13A of the imaging screen 13, for example, the camera 9 captures the person 12A from almost directly above the head 12C. The face 12B is difficult to be photographed.) Therefore, if there is an abnormality during the relay transportation by the relay truck 7 by using the recorded data 171A, 171B, 171C in which the face 12B of the person 12A is photographed, It becomes easy to identify the person to be listened to. Furthermore, the imaging conditions such as the installation position of the camera 9, the imaging direction, and the imaging magnification are such that the wall 10 </ b> D is also imaged on both sides of the loading / unloading port 12 end 10 </ b> C of the floor 10 </ b> B of the cargo compartment 10 on the imaging screen 13. Preferably set or adjusted. The camera 9 can photograph the person 12A standing just outside the loading / unloading port 12 of the cargo compartment 10 more reliably.

  The recorded data 171A, 171B, and 171C in FIG. 4 may be all of the images shot while the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects the “open” state of the door 11, or as described below. Video data captured during a specific period in the “open” state may be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, normal recording data 171A in the site of the district delivery center as the departure point indicates that the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects the transition S402 of the door 11 from the “open” state to the “closed” state. Based on the above, it is video data taken for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) before that. The normal recording data 171B in the area of the district delivery center at the arrival point is based on the fact that the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects the transition S403 of the door 11 from the “closed” state to the “open” state. It is video data taken for a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) thereafter.

  Since it takes time to load and unload cargo at the start and arrival points of relay transportation, the “open” state of the door 11 also becomes longer. However, the possibility of cargo theft at the departure or arrival point is not higher than during transit. And it is highly likely that the driver or passenger of the relay truck 7 opens and closes the door 11 at the departure point or the arrival point. Rather, since the user of the transit transportation management system of the first embodiment leaves the video as evidence that he is in charge of the transit transportation, the driver and passengers can use the camera when opening and closing the door 11 at the departure or arrival location. You may perform the operation of standing in 9 photographing possible positions. Therefore, the recording of the captured video at the departure point of the relay transportation may be a certain time until the door 11 is closed before the departure after the cargo has been loaded. It may be a certain time after the door 11 is opened later.

  Due to the limitation of the recording time described above, the data amount of the recording data stored in the photographing recording device 8 and transmitted from the photographing recording device 8 is reduced, and the communication time is reduced. Then, the load on the communication network, the imaging data set storage unit 31 in the information processing device 3 of each district distribution center 2 and the analysis target data set storage unit 52 in the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 is reduced. In addition, the time required for video analysis at the time of abnormality (that is, when an event to be confirmed during relay transport is found) is reduced, and quick video analysis by the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 is possible. Become. Furthermore, in the information processing device 3 of each district distribution center 2, the number of recorded data can be quickly determined by the recorded imaging number determination unit 32.

  When relay transportation is normally performed, in principle, the door 11 should not be opened and closed between departure and arrival. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, in normal relay transportation, there should be no recorded data in the middle of transportation. However, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), if the door 11 is opened and closed during the transit transportation, the image is taken by the camera 9 during the period in which the door 11 is in the open state (period from S405 to S405). All or part of the video is recorded on the recorder 17. At that time, the period after the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects the state transition S405 from “closed” to “open” of the door 11 and detects the state transition S406 from “open” to “closed” It is desirable that all of the video images taken during the period are recorded data 171C during the relay transportation. Opening and closing the door 11 during the relay transportation indicates that there is a possibility that fraud such as cargo theft or falsification of the cargo has been performed. Such fraud is likely to occur in a short time. In addition, the person who performed the fraud is not limited to the person in charge of relay transportation (the person recorded in the recorded data at the time of departure or arrival), but may be a third party. Therefore, in the middle of relay transportation, the photographing and recording device 8 records and stores all the images without omission while the door 11 is opened. It becomes easier to specify the person who should listen to.

  As a simple embodiment, the identification between the recorded data 171A at the departure point in the first embodiment and the other recorded data 171B and 171C is performed by, for example, the position of the engine key 14B, that is, power is supplied from the accessory power line 14A. May be done depending on whether or not. For example, the engine key 14B is turned to a position where power is supplied from the accessory power line 14A (ie, “ACC”, “ON”, or “START”) prior to opening / closing the door 11 due to cargo loading at the departure point (S407). ). Further, after the previous combination of recorded data is uploaded to the information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2, the control unit 8X of the imaging recording device 8 immediately uploads the recorded data recorded in the recorder 17 or It may be deleted after a certain time. Alternatively, the control unit 8 </ b> X of the imaging / recording apparatus 8 may perform “uploaded” labeling on the uploaded recorded data recorded in the recorder 17. In the state where power is supplied from the accessory power line 14A, if opening / closing of the door 11 is detected by the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 after the most recent upload (S401 and S402), the recorded data during that time is recorded data 171A at the departure place. Identified as If there are a plurality of recorded data continuously recorded in a state where power is supplied from the accessory power supply line 14A, the last recorded data is identified as recorded data at the departure place.

  The engine key 14B may or may not be in a position where power is supplied from the accessory power line 14A after loading of the luggage is completed at the departure place and the door 11 is closed, or at a place other than the departure place. Good (periods E1, E2, E3 in FIG. 4). That is, in this case, the engine key 14B may be in the “ACC” “ON” or “START” position, or may be in the “LOCK” position. In the period E1 in FIG. 4, there may be a case where there is a margin in the time from departure after loading of the luggage at the departure place. In the period E2, a break during relay transportation can be considered. During those periods, the driver of the relay truck 7 is particularly likely to turn the engine key 14B to the “LOCK” position. However, when the power supply unit 20 of the imaging recording device 8 is connected directly to the accessory power supply line 14A without being directly connected to the in-vehicle battery 14, the imaging recording device 8 is connected to the accessory power supply line 14A when the engine key 14B is in the “LOCK” position. The power supply from is not received. Therefore, the imaging / recording device 8 operates by receiving power from the built-in battery 21.

  Next, when the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 detects that the door 11 is opened in a state where the recording data 171A at the departure point is recorded on the recorder 17, the control unit 8X of the imaging recording device 8 causes the recorder 17 to Instruct the start of recording. Then, after a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) after the start of recording, the control unit 8X instructs the recorder 17 to end the recording.

  The recorded data during that time may be normal recorded data 171B at the time of arrival, or may be recorded data 171C in which an event to be confirmed is recorded during the relay transportation. Furthermore, a plurality of recorded data 171C in which events to be confirmed during relay transportation are recorded may be recorded. In any case, the transmission data combination unit 27 constituting the control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 includes the latest recorded data 171A at the departure point, followed by one or more recorded data (including the latest recorded data). And attempts to transmit from the local communication unit 24.

  If the relay truck 7 is in the site of the district delivery center 2, the local communication unit 24 provided in the imaging recording device 8 of the relay truck 7 can communicate with the local communication unit 30 provided in the information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2. is there. Accordingly, the combined recording data 171A and 171B and, if present, 171C are transmitted (that is, uploaded) to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2. The recorded data recorded immediately before the transmission is identified as the recorded data 171 </ b> B recorded at the arrival place at the district delivery center 2.

  On the other hand, when the relay truck 7 is outside the site of the district delivery center 2, that is, in the middle of relay transportation, the imaging recording device 8 of the relay truck 7 communicates with the information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2. I can't. Therefore, the recorded data recorded immediately before the failed upload attempt is identified as recorded data 171C in which events to be confirmed are recorded in the middle of relay transportation, as shown in FIG. 4B. . The recording data 171C that has failed to be uploaded is combined with the recording data 171A at the departure place and the recording data 171B at the arrival place by the transmission data combination unit 27, and is uploaded to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 until it is uploaded. 17 left.

  In the district distribution center 2 at the arrival place as well as the departure place, the door 11 may be opened and closed after the engine key 14B is turned to a position where power is supplied from the accessory power line 14A. The imaging / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 tries to upload the combination data if there are two or more pieces of recorded data that have not been uploaded after the most recently uploaded recorded data in the recorder 17. If the number of recorded data not uploaded in the recorder 17 is one or less, the imaging / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 does not enter the upload operation.

  As described above, after the combination of the recording data is uploaded to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2, the control unit 8X of the imaging recording device 8 stores the uploaded recording data recorded in the recorder 17. It may be deleted immediately or after a certain time. Alternatively, the control unit 8 </ b> X of the imaging / recording apparatus 8 may perform “uploaded” labeling on the uploaded recorded data recorded in the recorder 17.

  The control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 may stop its operation after confirming that the uploaded combination of recorded data is received and stored in the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2. The operation of the imaging / recording device 8 is not required until the power supply from the accessory power supply line 14A is performed prior to the loading of the cargo before the next departure after uploading the recorded data. Therefore, when the power supply unit 20 of the imaging recording device 8 is connected to the accessory power supply line 14A from the in-vehicle battery 14, the built-in accompanying the operation of the imaging recording device 8 while the power supply from the accessory power supply line 14A cannot be received. The power consumption of the battery 21 is reduced.

  The information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 shown in FIG. 4 receives the combination of the recording data transmitted from the imaging recording device 8 mounted on the relay track 7 via the local communication unit 30, and stores the imaging data set. Store in the unit 31. There are not only one relay truck 7 to / from the district distribution center 2 but a plurality of relay trucks. Therefore, a plurality of combinations of recording data respectively transmitted from the relay truck 7 that arrives on the same day are stored in the imaging data set storage unit 31.

  The recorded imaging number determination unit 32 determines the number of recorded data constituting each combination stored in the imaging data set storage unit 31. As shown in FIG. 4A, if no recording data exists between the recording data 171A at the departure place and the recording data 171B at the arrival place, the combination is constituted by two pieces of recording data. The On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, if there is one or more recorded data 171C between the recorded data 171A at the departure place and the recorded data 171B at the arrival place, the combination is 3 Consists of more than one recording data. The combination includes recorded data 171C in which events to be confirmed in the middle of relay transportation are recorded.

  Therefore, the number of recorded data in the recording / imaging number determination unit 32 is set so that the number of recorded data (2) in the combination when the relay transport is normally performed is set in advance, and the number of recorded data constituting the combination to be determined indicates normal. It is determined whether or not the value is larger than the value. When it is determined that the number of recorded data constituting the combination is larger than the set value indicating normality, the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 determines the combination of the recorded data via the inter-center communication unit 33. As an analysis target, the data is transmitted to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4. When it is determined that the number of recorded data constituting the combination is the same as the set value indicating normality, the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 converts the recorded data combination into the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4. You do not have to send to. Alternatively, as described above, the information processing apparatus 3 may have a retention period management function and automatically delete recorded data whose retention period has expired. Further, as described above, the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 may move the combination of the recorded data stored in the imaging data set storage unit 31 to a backup storage medium (not shown).

  The analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 (see FIG. 1) receives the combination of the recording data to be analyzed transmitted from the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 by the inter-center communication unit 51, and the analysis target data set The data is stored in the storage unit 52. The analysis unit 53 analyzes each combination of the recording data to be analyzed, and confirms whether or not there is actually any abnormality during the transit of the cargo.

  As described above, the imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the first embodiment can quickly and easily identify the analysis target from the recorded video data, reduce the load on the communication network, and reduce the storage capacity. Combination data can be generated. The host information processing device or analysis device that uses the combination data can quickly and easily specify the analysis target from a plurality of combination data, and the required storage capacity is reduced, and quick video analysis is possible. Become. That is, the combination of the recorded data sent from the information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2 to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 is “recorded by the recording imaging number determination unit 32 included in the information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2. "". Therefore, since the number of combinations of recorded data that need to be stored in the analysis target data set storage unit 52 in the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 is small, the necessary storage capacity is reduced and rapid video analysis is possible. It becomes. The analysis device 5 may perform video analysis limited to what is necessary.

  Further, the mobile device 60 such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal uses the local communication unit 24 of the imaging / recording device 8 shown in FIG. 3 to record the number of combination data recorded in the recorder 17 or the recording data constituting the data. The contents may be referable. Thereby, for example, the operation described below is possible.

  4, the person in charge of delivery uses the mobile device 60 to record the recorded data 171A at the departure location on the recorder 17 of the imaging recording device 8 attached to the relay track 7 to be confirmed. Check whether or not is recorded. If it is confirmed that the recorded data 171A is recorded, the delivery supervisor permits the driver of the relay truck 7 and its passengers to leave. At that time, the person in charge of delivery confirms all the recorded data during the loading operation (S401 to S402), and checks whether there is any abnormality in addition to the fact that the driver or passenger is photographed in the recorded data 171A. You may check. Or, as shown in FIG. 4, the person in charge of delivery confirms the recorded data 171A for a predetermined time until the door 11 is closed, and confirms that the driver or passenger is captured in the recorded data 171A. May be. Alternatively, the delivery manager may confirm only that the recording data 171A of the departure place is recorded on the recorder 17.

  Next, in the district delivery center site of the arrival place in FIG. 4, the delivery person in charge uses the mobile device 60 to open the recorder 11 of the imaging recording device 8 before opening the door 11 of the relay track 7 to be confirmed. 17 recording data are confirmed. If the recorded data 171A at the departure point is recorded on the recorder 17 and no recorded data 171C during the relay delivery is recorded, the person in charge of delivery can determine that there is no event to be confirmed during transportation. If one or more recorded data 171C during relay delivery is recorded in addition to the recorded data 171A at the departure place, the person in charge of delivery determines that there is an event to be confirmed during transportation.

  At that time, if the mobile device 60 includes the recording imaging number determination unit 32 included in the information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2 in the above, the delivery person in charge of operating the mobile device 60 has an event to be confirmed during the transportation. It is possible to quickly and easily determine whether or not. That is, the number of recorded data when it is determined that there is an event to be confirmed is larger than the number of recorded data when it is determined that there is no event to be confirmed during transportation (in this case, one) ( 2 or more). The mobile device 60 provided with the recorded imaging number determination unit 32 for determining the number of recorded data as described above promptly determines whether or not there is an event to be confirmed in the middle of transportation to a delivery manager who operates the device. And can be shown easily. The delivery supervisor may identify and browse the recorded data 171C during the relay delivery from the recorded data determined to have an event to be confirmed.

  Therefore, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether there is no suspicion such as theft during transportation in a vehicle that transports cargo, or it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether or not the vehicle has been stolen.

(Embodiment 2)
The relay transportation management system according to the second embodiment and the aspects of the devices constituting the system are substantially the same as those described in the first embodiment with reference to FIGS. Therefore, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 described in the first embodiment. The difference between the relay transportation management system in the second embodiment and the system in the first embodiment is that the recording in each combination data transmitted from the imaging recording device 8 of the relay truck 7 to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 This is the number of data. Alternatively, the difference is the number of recorded data in each combination data transmitted from the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4.

  In FIG. 4, the imaging / recording device 8 of the relay truck 7 according to the first embodiment uses the combination data including at least the recording data 171A at the departure point and the recording data 171B at the arrival point as the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2. Send to. On the other hand, the imaging / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 according to the second embodiment receives the combination data including the recording data 171A at the departure point and the recording data 171B at the arrival point, particularly the recording data 171A at the departure point. Send. Furthermore, the imaging / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 may omit the recording of the recording data 171B at the arrival place. The imaging recording device 8 transmits the recorded data from when the recorded data 171A at the departure point is recorded to before the door 11 is opened again to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 as one combination data. You may try.

  The combination data including the recorded data 171A at the departure place is collected by the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 at the arrival place. In the delivery center 2 at the arrival place, it is possible to record the information of the person in charge of relay transportation by other means (for example, taking a still image, recording license data, naming, etc.). However, in the delivery center 2 at the arrival place, it is necessary to confirm whether or not the person in charge of relay transportation who has declared arrival is the same person as the person in charge of the departure place. Therefore, it is necessary to record the recorded data 171A at least at the departure place.

  In FIG. 4A, if there is no recording data between the recording data 171A at the departure place and the door 11 is opened again at the arrival place (S403), the combination data is one recording data. Consists of data. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, there is one or more recorded data 171C between the recorded data 171A at the departure point and the door 11 being opened again at the arrival point (S403). For example, the combination is composed of two or more pieces of recorded data. The combination includes recorded data 171C in which an event to be confirmed in the middle of relay transportation is recorded.

  For the reasons described above, the number of recorded images is determined in advance by the recording / imaging number determination unit 32 when the number of recorded data (1) in the combination when relay transport is normally performed is set. It is determined whether or not it is larger than a set value indicating normal. When it is determined that the number of recorded data constituting the combination is larger than the set value indicating normality, the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 determines the combination of the recorded data via the inter-center communication unit 33. As an analysis target, the data is transmitted to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4. When it is determined that the number of recorded data constituting the combination is the same as the set value indicating normality, the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 converts the recorded data combination into the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4. You do not have to send to. Therefore, the number of recorded data constituting each combination stored in the imaging data set storage unit 31 in the information processing apparatus 3 of the district distribution center 2 can be reduced, and the storage capacity required for this is reduced. Furthermore, since the number of recorded data constituting each combination that is transmitted to and saved in the analysis target data set storage unit 52 in the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 can be reduced, the load on the communication network is further reduced. The Then, the storage capacity required for the analysis target data set storage unit 52 is further reduced, and more rapid video analysis is possible.

  Alternatively, the process up to uploading to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and when the combination data to be analyzed there is transmitted to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4, The recorded data 171B may be excluded from the combination data. The load on the communication network is further reduced, and the number of recorded data of each combination stored in the analysis target data set storage unit 52 in the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4 is reduced, so that the necessary storage capacity is further reduced. In addition, quicker video analysis is possible.

  Therefore, according to the second embodiment, it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether there is no suspicion such as theft during transportation in a vehicle that transports cargo, or it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether or not the vehicle has been stolen.

(Embodiment 3)
The third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 described in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the recording / imaging number determination unit 32 in the information processing apparatus 3 of the district delivery center 2 may be in the imaging / recording apparatus 8 of the relay track 7. That is, the imaging / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 determines whether or not the number of recorded data constituting the specified combination is an analysis target, and then transmits only the analysis target combination data to the district distribution center 2. Also good.

  Therefore, according to the third embodiment, it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether there is no suspicion such as theft during transportation in a vehicle that transports cargo, or it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether or not the vehicle has been stolen.

(Embodiment 4)
The fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 described in the first embodiment. The imaging recording apparatus 8 in the relay transportation management system according to the fourth embodiment includes an area detection unit 23 as in the first or second embodiment. However, the area detection unit 23 of the third embodiment is used more actively in order to specify a combination to be uploaded to a higher-level device from the recorded data recorded in the recorder 17.

  As already shown in FIG. 3, the area detection unit 23 detects that the local communication unit 24 can communicate with the information processing device 3 in the district delivery center. By this detection, the control unit 8X of the imaging recording apparatus 8 can determine that the relay truck 7 has entered the site of the district delivery center 2. For the local communication unit 24, a local wireless communication technology such as a wireless LAN may be used, or a communication technology using a wired connection may be used. Then, the distribution center area inside / outside detection unit 23 uses the local communication unit 24 in combination with the local communication unit 24 or other location identification technology such as GPS 25 instead of the local communication unit 24, so that the local communication unit 24 It may be detected that an area that can communicate with the information processing apparatus 3 is entered.

  The control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 is an area (or uploader) that can record the recorded data (for example, 171A, 171B, 171C in FIG. 4) with the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2. Labeling may be performed to indicate whether it was done in a possible area). If the recorded data is recorded outside the communicable area, there is a possibility that an event to be confirmed during the relay transportation is recorded in the recorded data. Therefore, by performing such labeling, it becomes easy to identify recorded data in which an event to be confirmed may be recorded in the middle of relay transportation, particularly in the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4.

  In addition, the imaging / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 may check the labeling of each recording data when the number of the recording data constituting the upload target combination in the recorder 17 is not normal. In other words, the transmission data combination unit 27 of the imaging recording apparatus 8 records recorded data outside the communicable area, but recorded within the communicable area and not uploaded. You may confirm that it is between. Then, the transmission data combination unit 27 can confirm that what is recorded outside the communicable area is between the recorded data that is recorded in the communicable area and not uploaded. The combination data may be uploaded.

  Further, when the area detection unit 23 detects that the recording / recording device 8 of the relay track 7 has gone out of the area without recording data that has not been uploaded in the recorder 17, A warning may be given to return to and record. The imaging / recording device 8 can urge the driver or passenger of the relay truck 7 to reliably record the recorded data 171A at the district delivery center at the departure point.

  The confirmation of the recording data labeling described above may be performed when the recording data to be analyzed is transmitted from the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4. . The information processing device 3 of the district delivery center 2 confirms the recording data labeling, and extracts only the recording data to be analyzed from the combination data, and then transmits it to the analysis device 5 of the central management center 4. Can do. Therefore, the load on the communication network is reduced.

In the labeling of the recorded data, in addition to the information indicating whether or not the data is recorded in the communicable area, information on the local communication unit (for example, wireless LAN ID) that is different for each district distribution center is recorded. Date and time information or position information measured by the GPS 25 may be included.
Such information further ensures the confirmation of the recorded data described above.

  As described above, the imaging / recording device 8 according to the fourth embodiment can quickly and easily identify the analysis target from the recorded video data, reduce the load on the communication network, and reduce the storage capacity. Combination data that can be completed can be generated more reliably. The host information processing device or analysis device that uses the combination data can more quickly and easily identify the analysis target from a plurality of combination data, and the required storage capacity is reduced and quick video analysis is possible. It becomes.

  Therefore, according to the fourth embodiment, it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether there is no suspicion such as theft during transportation in a vehicle that transports cargo, or it is possible to quickly and easily determine whether or not the vehicle is in the middle of transportation.

(Embodiment 5)
A configuration example of the relay transport management system in the fifth embodiment is the same as that in FIG. 1 in the first to fourth embodiments. The example of the block configuration of each device constituting the device is almost the same as that in FIG. 3 in the first to fourth embodiments, but there are some differences. The differences will be described later. And the imaging recording device and imaging device of this Embodiment 5 record the picked-up image shown, for example in FIG. 5 similarly to Embodiment 1. FIG. Therefore, the fifth embodiment will be described in combination with FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 5 described in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the imaging / recording device 8 and the camera 9 according to the fifth embodiment are mounted on the relay track 7, and is an alternative to FIG. 2 in the first to fourth embodiments. The imaging recording device 8 and the camera 9 as an imaging device of the fifth embodiment are a portable type that can load and unload the relay truck 7 into the cargo compartment 10 together with general cargo. The imaging recording device 8 and the camera 9 are attached to a cargo cart 16A for cargo loading, and are stored in the cargo compartment 10 of the relay truck together with another cargo cart 16B loaded with cargo. The installation position of the imaging recording apparatus 8 in the fifth embodiment is the ceiling portion of the cargo cart 16A, but may be the lower portion of the cargo cart 16A. Alternatively, only the built-in battery 21 (and / or its charging circuit (not shown)) of the imaging / recording device 8 may be installed in the lower portion of the cargo cart 16A.

  Also in the fifth embodiment, the imaging conditions such as the installation position of the camera 9, the imaging direction, and the imaging magnification are set or sequentially adjusted as shown in FIG. That is, the camera 9 is set or sequentially adjusted so that the loading / unloading exit 12 side end portion 10C of the floor 10B of the cargo compartment 10 is displayed in, for example, the central portion 13A or less (preferably one third or less from the bottom) of the imaging screen 13. Is done. By setting the camera 9 in this way, the camera 9 can reliably photograph the face 12B of the person 12A standing just outside the loading / unloading port 12 of the cargo compartment 10. Therefore, when there is an abnormality during the relay transportation by the relay truck 7, it is easy to identify a person who should listen to the situation.

  Since the camera 9 in the fifth embodiment is closer to the ground side than the camera 9 in the first embodiment, in order to ensure the imaging conditions described above, a wide-angle type (solid line) or an omnidirectional type (dotted line) is used. desirable. Further, when the camera 9 is an omnidirectional type (dotted line), there is an advantage described below. The cargo trolleys 16A and 16B have a bowl-like structure that can be seen to some extent inside and outside. The delivery company loads cargo into the cargo carts 16A and 16B at the district delivery center 2 before loading the cargo carts 16A and 16B onto the relay truck 7. Alternatively, the delivery company performs the work of unloading the cargo from the cargo carts 16A and 16B after unloading the cargo carts 16A and 16B from the relay truck 7 in the district delivery center 2. The delivery company may perform recording by the imaging recording device 8 and the camera 9 during the operation of loading the cargo onto the cargo carts 16A and 16B or unloading the cargo from the cargo carts 16A and 16B.

  The imaging recording device 8 and the camera 9 not only record the loading / unloading pattern of the cargo cart 16A in which they are installed, but also the cargo in the cargo cart 16B in the vicinity where they are not installed. It is even better to record the loading and unloading work. At that time, the delivery company may load cargo into the cargo cart 16A in which the imaging recording device 8 and the camera 9 are installed after the other cargo cart 16B in which they are not installed. Then, the delivery company may perform the work of unloading the cargo from the cargo cart 16A in which the imaging recording device 8 and the camera 9 are installed before the other cargo cart 16B in which they are not installed. When the delivery company performs the above operation, the imaging range of the camera 9 is not obstructed by the cargo of the cargo cart 16A itself in which it is installed, and the cargo in the other cargo cart 16B in which it is not installed. You can shoot the loading and unloading work.

  The camera 9 and the imaging / recording device 8 can communicate with each other by wire or wirelessly. The power supply to the camera 9 may be performed from the built-in battery 21 via the imaging / recording device 8 using a wired connection, or may be performed from a built-in battery (not shown) that is provided independently. When the camera 9 has its own internal battery, it is necessary to charge the internal battery.

  As described above, the block configuration example of each device constituting the relay transportation management system in the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as that in FIG. 3 in the first to fourth embodiments, but there are also some differences. First, since the imaging recording apparatus 8 in the fifth embodiment is a portable type and is not connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 (or the accessory power supply line 14A) unlike the installation type, it is essential to mount the built-in battery 21. Therefore, the portable imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment does not require the engine key position detection unit 22 used in the first to fourth embodiments.

  The power supply unit 20 included in the imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment can receive power from the AC outlet 20 </ b> B in addition to power from the built-in battery 21. The power supply unit 20 may include a charging circuit (not shown) for receiving power supplied from the AC outlet 20 </ b> B and charging the built-in battery 21. A power supply insertion / extraction detection unit 20A for detecting the presence or absence of power supply from the AC outlet 20B is provided. When the power supply insertion / extraction detection unit 20A detects the power supply from the AC outlet 20B, the transmission data combination unit 27 of the imaging recording device 8 identifies the combination to be uploaded among the recorded data recorded in the recorder 17. The method for specifying the combination is the same as that described in the first to fourth embodiments. The transmission data combination unit 27 uploads the combination data to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 via the local communication unit 24. The power supply from the AC outlet 20B is performed not only for uploading the combination data but also for charging the built-in battery 21 of the imaging / recording device 8. If the battery 21 of the imaging / recording device 8 is charged while being mounted on the cargo cart 16A, securing the installation space for the cargo cart 16A in the district delivery center 2 becomes a problem. Therefore, in order to reduce the installation space per unit at the time of charging, it is desirable that the portable imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment can be detached from the cargo cart 16A.

  The door opening / closing detection I / F 19 may receive a detection result of a distance sensor used when the camera 9 is zoomed or focused, for example, via the camera I / F 18. Alternatively, a door opening / closing sensor 11A to which non-contact detection technology such as an ultrasonic wave, a laser beam, or a distance sensor is applied may be attached to the cargo carriage 16A so as to be communicable with the imaging recording device 8. As in the first to fourth embodiments, recording or stopping to the recorder 17 (see FIG. 3) is performed in conjunction with the opening / closing detection by the door opening / closing detection I / F 19.

  In the relay transportation management system of the fifth embodiment having the above-described configuration, operation examples and features of each device constituting the system are as follows.

  FIG. 7 is a timing chart showing an operation example of the portable imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 7A shows a case where an event to be confirmed is not found during transportation. 10 is a timing chart illustrating an operation example of a portable imaging / recording device 8 according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 7B is a timing chart showing an operation example of the portable imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment when an event to be confirmed is found during transportation.

  As described above, the recording or stopping of the recording to the recorder 17 (see FIG. 3) is performed in conjunction with the opening / closing detection by the door opening / closing detection I / F 19 and the storage and handling of the recording data are described in the first embodiment. It is the same as that in -4. The operation related to the area detection unit 23 described in the fourth embodiment can be applied to the imaging / recording apparatus 8 of the fifth embodiment.

  The imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment is significantly different from the imaging / recording apparatuses 8 according to the first to fourth embodiments in the timing of uploading combination data. Since the imaging recording apparatus 8 of the fifth embodiment is a portable type, it is not connected to the in-vehicle battery 14 or the accessory power supply line 14A. While the relay truck 7 is relaying and transporting, the imaging recording device 8 mounted on the relay truck 7 consumes power supplied from the built-in battery 21. Therefore, when the relay truck 7 is in the district distribution center 2, the built-in battery 21 is used. Charging is essential.

  As described in the description of FIG. 6, the portable imaging / recording device 8 according to the fifth embodiment can be detached from the cargo cart 16 </ b> A. The power supply unit 20 of the imaging recording apparatus 8 can also receive power supply from the AC outlet 20 </ b> B in addition to power supply from the built-in battery 21. Therefore, the imaging / recording apparatus 8 of the fifth embodiment may upload combination data when charging of the internal battery 21 is started (S410). Alternatively, the imaging / recording device 8 may upload the recording data 171B after recording at the arrival place for a predetermined time.

  The upload operation during charging is as follows. First, after the user removes the imaging recording device 8 from the cargo cart 16A from the relay truck 7 that has returned to the district delivery center 2, the user connects to the AC outlet 20B in the district delivery center 2 and via the power supply unit 20. Then, charging of the internal battery 21 is started. The power supply unit 20 is provided with a power supply insertion / extraction detection unit 20A for detecting the presence or absence of power supply from the AC outlet 20B. When the power supply insertion / extraction detection unit 20A detects the power supply from the AC outlet 20B, the transmission data combination unit 27 of the imaging recording device 8 identifies the combination to be uploaded among the recorded data recorded in the recorder 17. The method for specifying the combination is the same as that described in the first to fourth embodiments. The transmission data combination unit 27 uploads the combination data to the information processing device 3 of the district distribution center 2 via the local communication unit 24. After the uploading is completed, the control unit 8X of the imaging / recording device 8 may delete all the recorded data (171A, 171B, 171C in FIG. 7) recorded in the recorder 17, or the uploaded labeling. You may go to recorded data. The timing for performing them may be performed, for example, when the power supply insertion / extraction detection unit 20A of the power supply unit 20 detects that the imaging recording device 8 has been removed from the AC outlet 20B (S409).

  In place of such an upload method or in order to assist the upload method, the operation related to the area detection unit 23 described in the fourth embodiment is also applied to the imaging / recording apparatus 8 of the fifth embodiment. It is possible.

  As in the first embodiment, the control unit 8X of the imaging / recording apparatus 8 according to the fifth embodiment confirms that the uploaded combination of recorded data is received and stored in the information processing apparatus 3 of the district distribution center 2, It is also possible to stop (shut down) its own operation. After uploading of the recorded data, prior to loading the cargo before the next departure, the power supply unit 20 is disconnected from the AC outlet 20B and the power supply from the built-in battery 21 is performed until the power is supplied from the built-in battery 21. No action is necessary.
