An external monitor that displays the status of people entering the campus using a white cane and entrance ticket gate information; 8a is a built-in speaker on the display board that audibly indicates white cane detection; 8b is an external speaker that audibly indicates white cane detection; 9a is a display 2 (a) (b) (c) 10 is an external recording device; 11 is a power supply; 12 is a reset button; 9b is an external visibility device (red flash display); ), 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 13e are the station ticket gates, 14 is the white cane user, 15 is the white cane held by the user, and the arrow indicates the direction of the pedestrian to the ticket gate. In the direction of movement, 16a and 16b indicate vertical virtual lines on the white cane detection screen (FIG. 3(c)).

As shown in FIGS. 2(a), 2(b), and 2(c), the white cane detection cameras 2 in the station staff notification system 1 for persons using white canes according to the first embodiment are station ticket gates 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, and 13e. The hand of the white cane 15 of the white cane user 14 is at a depression angle of 50 degrees at a position approximately 2.5 m inside the premises and at a height of approximately 3 m, in other words, approximately 2.5 m away from directly below the white cane detection camera 2. (see FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b)), and the length of the white cane 15 on the front captured image of the white cane user 14 is one-third or more of the screen height, and The screen must be installed so that the angle with the vertical lines 16a and 16b is within 60 degrees on both sides (see FIG. 2(c)).

The reason why the installation conditions for the white cane detection camera 2 in the system 1 for notifying station staff of people using a white cane according to the first embodiment is that it is used in the system 1 for notifying station staff of people using a white cane. The white cane detection camera 2 is equipped with a mechanism for image recognition within the camera body, and is designed to recognize a white cane from an image taken under the above conditions and output it as white cane information. White cane recognition by the detection camera 2 requires that (1) it is a white stick-like object held in the user's hand, (2) the white stick-like object is about 1 meter long, and (3) it is white. Deep learning is used to memorize (memorize) matching and non-matching information, such as that the diameter of the stick is within 10 mm, and based on the results, white cane 15 is identified through digital image filtering processing using AI (artificial intelligence). It is something to do.

In order to discriminate only from the image captured by the white cane detection camera 2, the white cane detection camera 2 is located approximately 2.5 meters inside the station from the station ticket gates 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, and 13e, and at a height of approximately 3 meters. For example, at a position approximately 2.5 m away from directly below the white cane detection camera 2, the hand of the white cane 15 of the white cane user 14 is installed at a depression angle of 50 degrees (see FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b)). Further, on the front captured image of the white cane user 14, the white cane 15 has a length of one-third or more of the screen height, and the angle made with the vertical lines 16a and 16b of the screen is within 60 degrees left and right. (See Figure 3(c)).

By placing the white cane detection camera 2 on the ceiling of the ticket gate under these conditions, it is possible to check each person individually at the ticket gate 13, which is the entrance to the campus where people do not enter in groups, and detect those with a white cane. This allows the user to be identified as the user 14.
After the white cane detection camera 2 automatically recognizes the white cane user 14, the information (detection signal) is transmitted to the white cane detection display panel 3 via the hub (HUB) 4 of the campus network (not shown). It is sent to the control board 5, and the control board 5 outputs the video to the built-in monitor 7a and the external monitor 7b, as well as giving voice guidance such as "white cane users enter" through the built-in speaker 8a and external speaker 8b, and also outputs the video to the built-in visual recognition device. (Red flash display) 9a and an external visual recognition device (red flash display) 9b are turned on to alert station staff.

The white cane detection display panel 3 has a built-in monitor 7a, a built-in speaker 8a, and a built-in visual recognition device (red light) 9a, and is installed at an appropriate location in the station office (SO) inside the station.
The Station Office (SO) displays and understands the situation at various locations within the station premises using cameras installed at various locations, and also provides appropriate instructions and information to station staff located at various locations based on the identified situation. This is a department that can do this.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic example in which a white cane detection display panel 3 is placed in the station office (SO) where station staff always stay so that the station staff can grasp the station situation.
In FIG. 3, 3 is a white cane detection display board, 7a is a built-in monitor, 7b is an external monitor, 8a is a built-in speaker, 9a is a built-in visual recognition device (indicator light), 12 is a reset button, 17 is The station office desk, SO, is the station office.
A station employee who always stays in the station office (SO) faces the station office desk 16, constantly monitors the situation inside the station, and gives appropriate instructions.

When a white cane user 14 enters the station premises through the station ticket gate 13, the white cane detection camera 2 detects the white cane 15, and the built-in monitor 7a of the white cane detection display panel 3 and the external monitor 7b show that the white cane has passed through the ticket gate. In addition to displaying the image, pre-stored audio information (for example, "A white cane user has passed through the ticket gate") is played from the built-in speaker 8a, and at the same time, the built-in visual recognition device (indicator light) is turned on and the white cane is displayed. It is reported that the cane user 14 is in the station premises.

If the station staff who always stays in the station office (SO) is notified that the white cane user 14 has entered the station, the station staff in the station office (SO) will check it on the built-in monitor 7a and external monitor 7b. At the same time, images from cameras installed at various locations are tracked on monitors, etc., and if necessary, appropriate instructions and information are transmitted to station staff located at various locations.Station staff at each location monitors the separately installed external monitor 7b, external speaker 8b, The presence of the white cane user 14 within the premises can be recognized through the external visual recognition device (red light) 9b, etc., and necessary support can be provided to the white cane user 14.

Therefore, according to the system 1 for notifying station staff of people using white canes when entering the premises, the white cane recognition equipment installed near the station platform (PF) or the cameras installed at various locations within the station can detect white canes. The white cane 15 is individually identified by each white cane user 14 when they pass through the ticket gate, without taking any roundabout methods such as detecting the cane user 14 and alerting the station staff via the public address system. Therefore, when the white cane user 14 passes through the ticket gate 13, the presence of the white cane user 14 can be ascertained and station staff at various locations can be alerted, thereby preventing the station staff from overlooking the presence of the white cane user 14. This makes it possible to prevent accidents such as falling from the station platform (PF) due to unintentional entry into the campus.

Next, a description will be given of the system 1 for notifying station staff of people using a white cane according to the first embodiment, and for example, the system 20 for notifying station staff of people using a white cane according to a second embodiment, in which ticket gates are arranged at four locations north, south, east, and west.
FIG. 4 shows that the station staff notification system 1 for people using white canes according to the first embodiment is installed at a station where the ticket gates are not located at one location but at four locations, for example, north, south, east, and west.

Built-in.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that there are a maximum of eight ticket gates in one station, and the multi-segment indicator light 23a with flash function detects the passage of the white cane 15 at each ticket gate. However, the color display of the relevant ticket gate (for example, the normal display is "green", but when the passage of the white cane 15 is detected, the display changes to "red flash" ) . At the same time, audio data similar to that of the system 1 for notifying station personnel using a white cane according to the first embodiment is played from the speaker 23b.
The red flash display caused by this color display change is canceled by the station staff using the reset button 24 as appropriate, such as when it is confirmed that the white cane user 14 has left the ticket gate.
Further, regarding the display of this multi-segmented indicator light 23a, instead of displaying using a multi-segmented flash indicator light, as shown in FIG. 5, it may be displayed on a monitor that can perform a predetermined display.

That is, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which an 8-division display of 2 rows and 4 columns is displayed on the monitor screen in place of the multi-division indicator light 23a with a flash function. FIG. 5(b) shows a monitor screen 23a2 in which information of a specific divided area of the eight-part monitor screen 23a1 is displayed in text. That is, each divided area of the 8-split monitor screen 23a1 shown in FIG. 5(a) is displayed in a normal color (e.g. , "green") to a red flash display (blinking).Furthermore, on the monitor screen 23a2, the details (for example, "White cane at The details of the corresponding divided area are sequentially displayed in text in response to the red flash (blinking).

Of course, by pressing the reset button 24, the flash display and character display of the ticket gate are canceled. In the reset process, by pressing the reset button 24 while the relevant characters are displayed, the flash display and character display of the corresponding ticket gate are canceled.
