The monitoring system is a system for monitoring a monitoring target area in a predetermined range, starting the drone device when an abnormality is detected, and dealing with the generated abnormality.
Claims8
A monitoring system comprising:
- a mobile robot device configured to autonomously move, the mobile robot device including a start information reception unit having a receiver and configured to receive start information to initiate a movement to a predetermined target position, a global positioning system (GPS) capable of transmitting a flight position information that is represented by three-dimensional coordinate data within the predetermined target area, and a control information storage unit having a first storage medium and configured to store control information to perform a predetermined work when the mobile robot device reaches the predetermined target position;
- a camera installed in a monitoring target area;
- and
- a monitoring center unit including a start information transmission unit having a first transmitter and configured to transmit the start information to move the mobile robot device to the predetermined target position when an abnormality is detected in an imaging area based on the imaging information acquired by the camera,
- wherein the monitoring center unit further includes a flight position information transmission unit having a second transmitter and configured to transmit the flight position information, a terrain information storage unit having a second storage medium and configured to store terrain information of the monitoring target area, a stop position information storage unit having a third storage medium and configured to receive the position information transmitted from the flight position information transmission unit and to store position information of a position at which the mobile robot device stops to move to the predetermined target position, and an avoidance information processor configured to add avoidance information to avoid a position corresponding to the stop position information to the start information based on the stop position information and a topography information,
- wherein the abnormality includes image information about a predetermined condition where a person needs to be rescued, a person has fallen, a person has drowned or is drowning, a natural disaster has occurred, fire has occurred, earthquake has occurred, tsunami has occurred, tornado has occurred, an accident has occurred, a car accident has occurred, a bicycle accident has occurred, a crime has occurred, a robbery has occurred, or a trespassing has occurred,
- wherein the abnormality is detected by a monitoring worker who monitors an image from the camera, or by monitoring whether or not parameter information satisfies the predetermined condition,
- wherein the predetermined work includes releasing an automatic external defibrillator, a floating tube, food for disaster, an extinguishing agent, or a color ball.
