Many security cameras are installed as a technology to prevent troubles in trains, subways, bullet trains, etc., and to respond more quickly to troubles that are occurring. Camera-equipped straight tube type LED (Light Emitting Diode, hereinafter abbreviated) lamps that can be exchangeably attached to lighting devices already installed in The camera is installed together with the LED lamp simply by installing the lamp between the sockets of either the lighting device for use or the lighting device dedicated to the straight tube type LED lamp. Since it requires completely different wiring and is much easier to install than security cameras that require a dedicated installation space, and can be used more economically, it is becoming widely used. The camera-equipped straight-tube LED lamps installed in such vehicles are also equipped with a wireless device, and the image data captured by the camera is sent to terminals and databases inside and outside the vehicle via a wireless communication network. There are things that can transmit, and it is effective for functioning as a security camera and collecting big data, and various uses are being explored.

For example, in the case of an LED lighting system in which a plurality of camera-equipped straight-tube LED lamps are mounted on a railway vehicle, and the straight-tube LED lamps each camera-equipped with a wirelessly connectable database are installed outside the vehicle. , straight tube LED lamps equipped with multiple cameras simultaneously transmit vast amounts of digital information, including captured image data, via a wireless communication network, and the database that receives the digital information stores the enormous amount of data. It is essential to build a system that can quickly analyze and process image data, and it will cost a lot to achieve such excellent information communication and analysis processing capabilities. It is expected that the development of LED lighting systems with reduced equipment costs will be required.

(conventional technology)
Reflecting this situation, it is not that there have not been some proposals that could serve as breakthrough measures.
For example, as typified by the one proposed in Patent Document 1 (1) below, an illumination unit, an external data acquisition unit that acquires external data in real time, a storage unit that stores external data, A plurality of LED lights having a function unit including a data extraction unit for extracting external data based on data extraction designation information specifying a predetermined time range on a predetermined date from stored external data and a wireless communication unit a device, a data extraction designation information generation unit connected to the plurality of LED lighting devices and generating data extraction designation information, and an output information generation unit generating output information for displaying the extraction data on a display unit. a cloud server; and an information terminal connected to the cloud server and having an input unit for inputting specified extraction date and time information and a display unit. A predetermined date specified by the input unit of the information terminal based on the data extraction designation information generated by the data extraction designation information generation unit of the cloud server from the external data stored in the storage unit and extracting the external data in a predetermined time range on a predetermined date, and outputting information as information of the external data in a predetermined time range on a predetermined date to the display unit of the information terminal by the output information generating unit of the cloud server Since it is possible to output and display, an LED lighting system that can use external data acquired by a plurality of LED lighting devices as information necessary for monitoring while suppressing equipment costs has already been developed. It's becoming

In addition, as seen in Patent Document 1 (2) below, an illumination unit incorporating an LED, an external information acquisition unit that acquires external information around the illumination unit in real time, and the external information acquisition unit Intermittent transmission that controls the wireless communication unit to intermittently transmit the external information together with the device identification information at intervals necessary for analyzing the information to be reported on the same time axis as the external information acquired in real time by a plurality of LED lighting devices that can be attached to both sockets of a fluorescent lamp; and a plurality of LED lighting devices that are communicatively connected to the plurality of LED lighting devices and intermittently transmitted from the wireless communication unit. an analysis server that receives the received external information together with the device identification information, and generates notification information corresponding to each of the plurality of LED lighting devices by analyzing changes over time in the received external information; a notification unit communicatively connected to the analysis server, receiving the notification information corresponding to each device of the plurality of LED lighting devices transmitted from the analysis server, and notifying the notification information corresponding to each device; and the intermittent transmission control unit controls the wireless communication unit to intermittently transmit the external information at time intervals as long as possible within a range in which the report information can be generated by the analysis server. The external information acquired by the plurality of LED lighting devices can be aggregated and analyzed by the analysis server communicably connected to the plurality of LED lighting devices.

Moreover, the intermittent transmission control unit intermittently transmits the external information to the plurality of external information acquired in real time at time intervals necessary for analysis of the information to be notified on the same time axis as the external information acquired in real time. It is transmitted from each LED lighting device of the LED lighting device to the analysis server together with the device identification information. For this reason, the plurality of LEDs generated by the analysis by the analysis server without delay on the real-time time axis while suppressing the amount of data transmitted from each LED lighting device of the plurality of LED lighting devices to the analysis server Notification information corresponding to each device of the lighting device can be notified by the notification unit, and therefore, the external information acquired by the plurality of LED lighting devices can be appropriately and without delay while suppressing the equipment cost. There are some LED lighting systems that are capable of reporting the analysis results of .

However, in the LED lighting system as shown in the former Patent Document 1 (1), out of the external data stored in the LED lighting device, the external data within a predetermined time range on a predetermined date specified through an information terminal. Data is extracted, and although it is possible to suppress the amount of data communication and reduce equipment costs and communication costs, only the extracted external data is extracted based on the conditions specified through the information terminal Since it transmits and receives data, it is not suitable for collecting big data. Since the data is intermittently transmitted to the analysis server at time intervals, the system can smoothly perform analysis processing without imposing an excessive burden on the analysis server. When image data is transmitted as data, a large amount of digital signals are transmitted and received, so there remains a drawback that it is difficult to reduce the burden on the communication network and the analysis server. rice field.

Each time the train stops at each station, the straight-tube LED lamps installed in each camera transmit the image data recorded by the train to a database installed outside the train via a wireless communication network, and receive and store the image data. The database analyzes the accumulated image data, aggregates the number of passengers getting on and off at each station, and accumulates and makes it available as big data. In order to smoothly analyze and tally the number of people getting on and off from the train, a large calculation capacity is required, and the disadvantage of requiring a large cost burden cannot be eliminated.
