  In the present embodiment, the information providing server 100 functions as each unit described above when a processor (not shown) mounted on the information providing server 100 executes a predetermined program.

  The functional configurations of the violation detection terminal 200 and the information providing server 100 have been described above. Next, the contents of processing executed by the network system 1000 according to the present embodiment will be specifically described. In the following description, FIG. 2 will be referred to as appropriate.

  First, a scene in which various types of information are stored in the database 109 of the information providing server 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence diagram shown in FIG.

  The violation detection unit 202 of the violation detection terminal 200 arranged at each place on the bicycle path detects the violation by sequentially analyzing the images captured by the imaging unit 30 (S1). Specifically, the violation detection unit 202 uses existing image analysis technology, behavior analysis technology, and the like to extract and track a bicycle driver from a captured image, and the driver detects a predefined violation. Judgment / detection of whether or not it is going. Here, in this embodiment, a bicycle traffic violation type action is defined in advance as a “violation type”, and the violation detection unit 202 determines and detects a violation type of the violation committed by the bicycle driver. To do. Examples of violation types here include “no light”, “reverse feed”, “one-handed operation”, “overspeed”, “two-seater”, and the like.

  If the violation detection unit 202 detects a violation of the bicycle driver as a result of the analysis of the captured image, the violation information transmission unit 204 generates violation information (S2). Specifically, the violation information transmission unit 204 includes a violation detection date and time (hereinafter referred to as detection date and time), position information indicating a violation detection position (hereinafter referred to as detection position), a violation type, and a driver who has committed the violation. Information including a captured image (hereinafter referred to as a violator image) is generated as violation information. The “detected position” here may be a latitude / longitude coordinate, an address, or a position identifier (location ID) managed uniquely by the present system.

  Thereafter, the violation information transmitting unit 204 transmits the generated violation information to the information providing server 100 via the network 50 (S3). In response to this, the violation information storage unit 102 of the information providing server 100 stores the received violation information in the database 109 (S4). Specifically, the violation information storage unit 102 adds a violation ID that is a unique identifier to the received violation information, and then newly adds a record related to the violation information, The “detection date / time”, “detection position”, “violation type”, and “violator image” included in the violation information are displayed in the fields 501, 502, and 503 of the violation information management table 500 (see FIG. 4A), respectively. , 504, and 505. At this time, in the field 506 for storing the processing flag, a value “not yet” indicating that processing is not yet performed is stored.

  In S4, in response to the newly accumulated violation information stored in the database 109, the information providing server 100 executes “violator information update processing” (S5). Hereinafter, specific contents of the “violator information update process” executed in S5 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in step 101, the feature amount extraction unit 103 reads unprocessed violation information from the violation information management table 500 (that is, the value of a record in which the value of the field 506 is “not yet”). In subsequent step 102, the feature amount extraction unit 103 reads out the violator image included in the read out violation information. In subsequent step 103, the feature amount extraction unit 103 extracts the feature amount of the violator from the read violator image based on a predetermined algorithm. The “characteristic amount of the violator” here means a characteristic amount of the “face” in the first place, but a characteristic amount of the body other than the face may be extracted.

  In subsequent step 104, the feature amount registration presence / absence determination unit 104 refers to the violator registration table 600 (see FIG. 3B), and whether or not the feature amount extracted in the previous step 103 has already been registered. Determine. Here, as shown in FIG. 3B, the violator registration table 600 is a table that manages the violator ID given as a unique identifier to the violator and the feature quantity of the violator in association with each other. In step 104, all feature quantities stored in the field 602 of the violator registration table 600 are compared one-to-one with the feature quantities extracted in the previous step 103, and based on a predetermined algorithm, both feature quantities are compared. Calculate similarity. If the calculated similarity exceeds a preset threshold value, it is determined that the extracted feature value is registered. If the calculated similarity value does not exceed the threshold value, the extracted feature value is not registered. judge.

  As a result, when it is determined that the feature amount is not registered (No at Step 105), the process proceeds to Step 108. In step 108, the violator registration unit 105 registers the extracted feature quantity and the violator in association with each other. Specifically, after assigning a violator ID to a violator having an extracted feature amount, the assigned violator ID and the extracted feature amount are respectively stored in fields 601 and 602 of the violator registration table 600. Store. Thereafter, the processing proceeds to step 107.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the feature amount has already been registered (step 105, Yes), the process proceeds to step 106. In step 106, the violation record information management unit 106 updates the violation record information management table 700 (see FIG. 3C) according to the following procedure.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (c), the violation record information management table 700 includes the violator ID of the violator, the cumulative number of violations the violator has committed in the past (hereinafter referred to as the total number of violations), and the violations. It is the table which links | related and manages violation ID of the violation information concerning the violation which the person committed in the past. Then, the violation history information management unit 106 refers to the violator registration table 600 (see FIG. 3B) and associates it with the feature amount whose similarity with the feature amount extracted in the previous step 103 exceeds the threshold value. In the violation record information management table 700, the total number of violations in the field 702 of the record in which the specified violator ID is stored is incremented by 1 in the violation record information management table 700, and in the field 703 of the record, The violation ID of the violation information read in the previous step 101 is stored. Thereafter, the processing proceeds to step 107.

  In step 107, it is determined whether there is unprocessed violation information. Specifically, a search is made for a record in which the processing flag in the field 505 of the violation information management table 500 (see FIG. 3A) is “not yet”, and there is a record in which the processing flag is “not yet”. (Step 107, Yes), the process returns to Step 101 to repeat the series of processes described above. On the other hand, if there is no record whose processing flag is “not yet” (No at Step 107), the violator information update processing is terminated.

  Returning to FIG. 5 again, the description will be continued.

  In this embodiment, every time the violation detection unit 202 detects a violation, the process of S2 to S5 described above is repeated, and as a result, a violation result of a bicycle driver who repeats a traffic violation (hereinafter referred to as a violation addict) is obtained. It is accumulated in the database 109.

  On the other hand, the information providing server 100 of the present embodiment publishes a report form for reporting sighting information on a predetermined website in order to collect sighting information on bicycle traffic violations from the general public.

FIG. 7 illustrates a notification form that is open to the general public. The notification form shown in FIG. 7 is configured to accept input of the following information (1) to (4).
(1) Date and time of witnessing violation (2) Location of witnessing violation (3) Violation type (4) Detailed content of violation

  Here, the notification form shown in FIG. 7 specifies the location where the violation was witnessed on the map, selects the relevant violation type from the pull-down list, and enters the details of the violation in the text area. It is configured.

  Here, a general citizen who has witnessed a traffic violation of a bicycle accesses a website published by the information providing server 100 from his client terminal 40 (for example, a smartphone), opens a notification form shown in FIG. When the information of 1) to (4) is input and the “Send” button is selected (S6), the sighting information including the information of (1) to (4) input by the client terminal 40 is sent to the information providing server 100. Transmit (S7).

  In response, the sighting information accumulation unit 107 of the information providing server 100 accumulates the received sighting information in the database 109 (S8). Specifically, the sighting information storage unit 107 adds a sighting information ID that is a unique identifier to the received sighting information, and then newly adds a record related to the sighting information, The information (1) to (4) included in the received sighting information is stored in fields 801, 802, 803, 804, and 805 of the sighting information management table 800 (see FIG. 4), respectively.

  As a result, detailed contents of the violation site provided by the general public are accumulated in the database 109.

  The scene in which various types of information are stored in the database 109 of the information providing server 100 has been described above. Subsequently, a scene in which the enforcement staff obtains support information from the information providing server 100 is based on the sequence diagram shown in FIG. I will explain.

  The enforcement staff operates his / her client terminal 40 to access the Web service “bicycle traffic violation control support service” provided by the information providing server 100 (S1), and in response to this, the client terminal 40 provides the information. A service screen is requested from the server 100 (S2). In response to this, the information providing server 100 transmits a service screen to the client terminal 40 (S3), and the client terminal 40 displays it.

FIG. 9 exemplifies a service screen displayed on the client terminal 40 of the regulator. The service screen shown in FIG. 9 is a screen that presents as a support information a “addict haunt map” that visualizes the violation history of the addicted addict, and as a display condition for the “addict haunt map” above the service screen, An input form for inputting the following (1) to (4) is displayed.
(1) Period (2) Time zone (3) Violation type (4) Violation count

  Here, (1) and (2) above are conditions relating to the violation detection date, (3) is a condition relating to the violation type, and (4) is a condition relating to the cumulative number of violations. is there. This input form is configured to select a desired violation type from a pull-down list and select whether or not to display sighting information with a check box.

  In response to the display of the input form shown in FIG. 9, when the officer specifies the conditions (1) to (4) above and the necessity of displaying the sighting information and selects the “display map” button ( S4) The client terminal 40 generates an addict haunt map request including the specified content, and transmits the generated addict haunt map request to the information providing server 100 (S5).

  In response to this, the support information providing unit 108 of the information providing server 100 executes the “addict haunt map generation process” (S6). Hereinafter, the contents of the “addict haunt map generation process” executed in S6 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in step 201, the violator ID of the violator that matches the designated “total number of violations” condition is searched and specified from the violation record information management table 700 (see FIG. 3C).

  In the following step 202, a record of violation information associated with the identified violator ID is extracted from the violation information management table 500 (see FIG. 3A).

  In the subsequent step 203, a record that matches both the specified “detection date” condition and the “violation type” condition is searched from the extracted violation information record, and the detection position stored in the record is extracted. .

  In the following step 204, the extracted detection position is mapped on the map to generate an “addict haunt map”. Specifically, an image in which an icon indicating the extracted detection position is superimposed on a map is generated as an “addict haunt map”.

  In the following step 205, it is determined whether or not the display condition of the sighting information included in the received support information request is “necessary”. As a result, when the display condition of the sighting information is “No” (No at Step 205), the “addict haunt map generation process” is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when the display condition of the sighting information is “necessary” (step 205, Yes), the process proceeds to step 206.

  In the next step 206, a record that matches both the designated “detection date” condition and the “violation type” condition is searched from the sighting information management table 800 (see FIG. 5), and stored in the record “ Extract “sighting position” and “detailed contents”. In this case, the condition of “detection date / time” is checked against the value of “sighting date / time” in the field 802 of the sighting information management table 800.

  In the subsequent step 207, the “sighting position” and the “detailed content” extracted in step 206 are mapped onto the “addict haunt map” generated in the previous step 204. Specifically, an icon indicating the extracted sighting position is superimposed on the “addict haunt map”, and a link for popping up the extracted details is embedded in the icon.

  The “addict haunt map generation process” is thus completed.

  Returning to FIG. 8, the description will be continued.

  The support information providing unit 108 transmits the “addict haunt map” generated in S6 to the client terminal 40 of the staff member (S7), and the client terminal 40 displays it.

  FIG. 11A shows the “addict haunt map” displayed on the client terminal 40 of the regulator. In the “addict haunt map” shown in FIG. 11 (a), the conditions are “period: January 1, 20XX to January 31, 20XX”, “time zone: 8:00 to 10:00”, “violation” “One-handed driving” and “Number of violations: One or more times” are specified, and “one-handed driving” detected between 8:00 to 10:00 on January 1, 20XX to January 31, 20XX. All the detection positions of "" are indicated by "x" icons. In addition, in response to the check box of the sighting information being checked, the sighting position of “one-handed driving” witnessed between 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock from January 1, 20XX to January 31, 20XX is “ It is indicated by the icon “☆”.

  As shown in the example of FIG. 11A, when the value of the number of violations is specified as a small display condition, not only malicious violation addicts but also the violation results of non-addictive violators are “addicted” Since it will be reflected in the “investment map”, in some cases, “x” is displayed in the whole area, making it difficult to specify an area to be controlled with emphasis.

  In response to this, when the director changes only the condition of “number of violations” from “1” or more to “10” or more and selects the “display map” button, the processing of S5 to S7 described above is performed. The map is executed again, and the “addict haunt map” is displayed again on the client terminal 40 of the regulator.

  FIG. 11B shows the re-displayed “addict haunt map”. In the “addict haunt map” shown in FIG. 11 (b), among the detection positions of the one-handed driving detected between 8:00 to 10:00 on January 1, 20XX to January 31, 20XX, Only the detection position of one-handed driving by a violation addict who has repeated violations of 10 times or more is indicated by an “x” icon.

  As shown in the example shown in FIG. 11B, when the value of the number of violations is specified as a display condition, only the results of malicious addicts are reflected in the “addict haunt map”. Directors can intuitively understand that it is only necessary to carry out control between 8 and 10 o'clock in areas where “x” is displayed locally (for example, a road that passes north and south in front of the post office). it can.

  Here, in response to the display of the “addict haunt map” shown in FIG. 11 (b), in order to catch the violent addict, the directors started “the road that passes north and south in front of the post office” from 8 o'clock. Consider the case of waiting. In this case, in order to catch a violation addict, it is necessary to grasp the characteristics (face, body shape, clothes, etc.) of the violation addict in advance. Clicking (or tapping) one of the “X” icons displayed on “the road passing north and south in front of the post office” of the “addict haunt map” specifies the violation detection position (S8).

  In response to this, the client terminal 40 of the director generates an addict confirmation screen request including the detected position (position information corresponding to “×”) designated on the map, and generates the generated addict confirmation screen request. The information is transmitted to the information providing server 100 (S9). In response to this, the support information providing unit 108 of the information providing server 100 generates an “addict check screen” (S10).

  Specifically, the support information providing unit 108 is designated by the addict confirmation screen request from the violation information record extracted in step 202 (see FIG. 10) of the “addict haunt map generation process” in S6. Extract one or more records that match the detection position, read the violation information (including the violator image) stored in the extracted record, and then generate an “addict check screen” with the read violation information embedded .

  The support information providing unit 108 of the information providing server 100 transmits the generated “addict check screen” to the client terminal 40 of the staff member (S11), and the client terminal 40 displays it.

  FIG. 12A shows an “addict check screen” displayed on the client terminal 40 of the regulator. In the example shown in FIG. 12A, the offender image of the offending addict performing “one-handed driving” is displayed below the “addicted person confirmation screen”. As a result, it is possible for the enforcement staff to grasp in advance the characteristics (face, body shape, clothes, etc.) of the addicted violator who has committed a violation in the past, and with a certain degree of starring. With this, it is possible to wait for the appearance of a violation addict.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12 (a), a list of violator IDs of violations and the date and time of detection of violations is displayed as a menu list above the "addict check screen". By designating, the violator image of the corresponding addicted addict is displayed. If a plurality of the same offender IDs are listed in this menu list, it can be said that there is a high probability that the offending addict associated with the offender ID will reappear at that location. In this case, the enforcement staff can accurately wait for the appearance of the violation addict after accurately grasping the characteristics of the violating addict from a plurality of past images.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the enforcement staff clicks (or taps) “☆” displayed on “the road passing north and south in front of the post office” and designates the sighting position (S12), FIG. ), The detailed content corresponding to the designated sighting position is displayed in a pop-up (S13).

  In the example shown in FIG. 12B, the detailed content “I was driving while talking loudly on a mobile phone” is displayed in a pop-up. In this case, the driver related to this sighting information cannot be immediately determined as a violation addict, but it may be a violation addict who repeats the same action due to the fact that there was a report from the general public. Inferred. In this case, the enforcement personnel can wait for the appearance of a violation addict, taking into account that the target may appear loudly in the enforcement location while speaking loudly on the mobile phone.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the violation addict is identified based on the feature amount extracted from the photographed image of the violation addict, and the place where the violation addict is likely to appear is displayed on the map. Since it is presented in a visual form, it becomes possible to effectively control violation addicts. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the image of the violation addict and the sighting information from the general public are presented in association with the place where the violation addict appears, there is a high possibility that the violation addict can be successfully captured. Become.

  In the above-described embodiment, the information providing server 100 detects and extracts violation information that matches the conditions specified by the client terminal 40, generates support information based on the extracted violation information, and sends it to the client terminal 40. In the other embodiment, the information providing server 100 detects and extracts violation information that matches a condition specified by the client terminal 40, and then transmits the extracted violation information to the client terminal 40. You may make it transmit.
