Facility use measuring device and facility use measuring system

A facility use measuring device that determines a group configuration of users based on images obtained by photographing inside a facility and measures a use situation of the facility according to the group configuration, the device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing an instruction,
• wherein the processor is configured to, as instructions stored in the memory,
• set a plurality of staying areas for determining the presence or absence of stay of users on each of the images,
• generate stay information relating to the presence or absence of stay of the users for each of the staying areas based on a change situation of each of the images in the staying areas,
• compare the pieces of stay information for every at least two staying areas and determine the group configuration regarding the users who respectively stay in the staying areas based on similarity of the pieces of stay information,
• generate use information relating to a use situation of the facility according to the group configuration, based on the stay information for each of the staying areas and a determination result of the group configuration, and
• generate display information displaying the use information and output the display information,
• wherein the processor is further configured to
• aggregate the stay information for each of the staying areas and the determination result of the group configuration for each predetermined unit period to generate statistical information relating to at least any one of a quantity and a ratio for each group configuration for each unit period, as the use information, and
• generate display information displaying at least any one of statistical information for each unit period by a table and a graph and output the display information.

A facility use measuring system that determines a group configuration of users based on images obtained by photographing inside a facility and measures a use situation of the facility according to the group configuration, the system comprising:

• a camera for photographing inside the facility;
• and
• a plurality of information processing devices each of which includes a processor and a memory storing instructions,
• wherein in any one of the plurality of information processing devices, the processor is configured to, as instructions stored in the memory,
• set a plurality of staying areas for determining the presence or absence of stay of the users on each of the images,
• generate stay information relating to the presence or absence of stay of the users for each of the staying areas based on a change situation of each of the images in the staying areas,
• compare the pieces of stay information for every at least two staying areas and determine the group configuration regarding the users who respectively stay in staying areas based on similarity of the pieces of stay information,
• generate use information relating to a use situation of the facility according to the group configuration, based on the pieces of stay information for each of the staying areas and a determination result of the group configuration, and
• generate display information displaying the use information and output the display information,
• wherein the processor is further configured to
• acquire stay periods of the users for each of the staying areas,
• compare the stay periods for each of the staying areas and determine the group configuration of the users based on an overlap rate of the stay periods, and
• acquire an image change rate of an image at each time having a predetermined sampling interval with respect to the image at the time of the immediately preceding sampling interval, determine the presence or absence of stay of the users for each of the staying areas based on continuity of the image change rate, and acquire the stay period for each of the staying areas.
