Abstract
An electronic device configured to monitor an object. The electronic device is configured to generate a first area indicative of a person, generate a second area indicative of an object, determine, based on the first area and the second area, an interaction parameter indicative of an interaction between the person and the object, determine, based on the interaction parameter, a status indicator of the object, generate a maintenance indicator based on the status indicator, and output the maintenance indicator.
Claims20
An electronic device configured to monitor an object, the electronic device comprising:
- memory circuitry comprising association data indicative of a predetermined association between an interactor object and an interacted object;
- interface circuitry;
- and
- processor circuitry, wherein the processor circuitry is configured to:
- generate, based on image data comprising one or more frames indicative of a person and/or the interactor object, a first area indicative of the person;
- generate, based on the image data, a second area indicative of the interactor object;
- determine, based on the first area, the second area, and the association data, an interaction parameter indicative of an indirect interaction between the person and the interacted object, wherein the interacted object is not directly interacted with by the person;
- determine, based on the interaction parameter, a status indicator of the interacted object;
- generate a maintenance indicator based on the status indicator;
- and
- output the maintenance indicator.
A method, performed by an electronic device to monitor an interacted object, the method comprising:
- generating, based on image data comprising one or more frames indicative of a person and/or an interactor object associated with the interacted object by association data, a first area indicative of the person;
- generating, based on the image data, a second area indicative of the interactor object;
- determining, based on the first area, the second area, and the association data, an interaction parameter indicative of an indirect interaction between the person and the interacted object, wherein the interacted object is not directly interacted with by the person;
- determining, based on the interaction parameter, a status indicator of the interacted object;
- generating a maintenance indicator based on the status indicator;
- and
- outputting the maintenance indicator.
