The invention segments detector input according to the time and the level of activity in different geographic regions of a locality. In one embodiment of the invention the detector input is comprised of video stream from one or more cameras to identify activity in the video. In one embodiment of the invention the detector input is comprised of sensor outputs such as RFID, pressure plates, etc. Various embodiments of the invention include identifying boundaries based on the level of activity. In embodiments of the invention, the boundaries can be used to select time dimensions. In one embodiment, by recognizing time dimensions with distinctive activity patterns, systems can better present overviews of activity over time.

Segmenting time based on the geographic distribution of activity in sensor data

According to one embodiment, an air conditioning control system is connected to a camera device, which is installed in an interior as an inside of a room and an air conditioning control target, and to an air conditioner that performs air conditioning for the interior as the air conditioning target, the air conditioning control system includes: an activity amount calculation unit; a current comfort index value calculation unit; a control parameter calculation unit; and an air conditioner control unit. The activity amount calculation unit acquires and analyzes image information formed by imaging the interior as the air conditioning control target from the camera device, and calculates an activity amount of a person present in the room based on the image information. The current comfort index value calculation unit calculates a current comfort index value of the person present in the room based on the activity amount. The control parameter calculation unit calculates a control parameter regarding an operation of the air conditioner based on the current comfort index value. The air conditioner control unit controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the control parameter.

A road indication device is provided. The road-guidance indicating device has a light projection unit including light control means for controlling a lamp and light emitted from the lamp. The light projection unit project a light whose peak luminosity is 30000 cd or more, i.e., the light has a luminosity equal to or larger than a peak luminosity of a headlight of a car running on the road. Since a light pillar of light having a high light output and a thick light pillar is projected from the light projection unit, the visuality of the light pillar is improved even in the bad weather and the boundary between the driveway and the shoulder on the road can be affirmatively guided and indicated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a monitor camera system for arranging the proper number of cameras in each of areas, measuring the number of people or vehicles in existence and capable of properly guiding the people or vehicles to a place not congested. SOLUTION: At least one camera (1-1, 1-2,..., 1-n) is placed in a monitor area, a mobile object detection/discrimination means 2 detects a mobile object from a photographed image and discriminates what the object is. Then a mobile information arithmetic means 3 calculates e.g. the absolute number of mobile objects and the number of mobile objects per unit area (degree of congestion) as mobile information of the mobile objects on the basis of the detected/ discriminated result to produce guidance information, stores the mobile information arithmetic result and the guidance information to a mobile information storage means 4, displays them on a display means 6 so that the system can guide the mobile objects such as people or vehicles from a congested area to a vacant area.
