When a passenger uses a paid seat of a train, generally, the passenger needs to purchase a ticket for using the seat before getting on the train or pay a predetermined fare to a crew after getting on the train.

On the other hand, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-72781 describes that authentication using a face image is performed to authenticate that a person seated on an airplane seat is the same as a checked-in person. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-73396 describes that billing processing is performed when information indicating a train congestion degree is provided to a user.

SUMMARY

When a passenger uses a paid seat, the passenger needs to perform payment processing for the paid seat before getting on the train. In a case where there is not enough time until the departure time point of the train, the passenger needs to pay the crew a fare for the paid seat after getting on the train. As described above, there is room for improvement in convenience of the passenger using the paid seat.

An example of an object of the invention is to improve convenience of a passenger using a paid seat.

In one embodiment, there is provided a passenger management device installed in a train including

an image transmission unit that transmits information on a portion including at least a person of a plurality of images generated by at least one imaging unit installed in the train and generated at different timings to a passenger information processing device that performs person specifying processing,

a processing result acquisition unit that acquires person specifying information which is a processing result of each of the plurality of images by the passenger information processing device and that specifies the person included in the image in association with attribute information for specifying a position of the person and a time point,

a getting-on station management unit that causes a first storage unit to store getting-on station information that specifies a getting-on station of the person in association with the person specifying information of the person using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information, and

a getting-off station management unit that causes the first storage unit to store getting-off station information that specifies a getting-off station of the person in association with the person specifying information of the person using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information.

In another embodiment, there is provided a passenger information processing device including

an acquisition unit that acquires information on a portion including at least a person of a plurality of images generated by at least one imaging unit installed in the train and generated at different timings,

an image processing unit that acquires person specifying information of a person who gets on the train using a feature amount of a person included in the image, and

a transmission unit that transmits the person specifying information acquired by the image processing unit to a passenger management device installed in the train.

The acquisition unit acquires getting on-and-off information indicating a getting-on station and a getting-off station of the person indicated by the person specifying information in association with the person specifying information from the passenger management device.

The passenger information processing device further includes a settlement processing unit that performs settlement processing on a fare for the train using the getting on-and-off information and the person specifying information.

In still another embodiment, there is provided a passenger management method causing a computer installed in a train to perform

transmitting information on a portion including at least a person of a plurality of images generated by at least one imaging unit installed in the train and generated at different timings to a passenger information processing device that performs person specifying processing,

acquiring person specifying information which is a processing result of each of the plurality of images by the passenger information processing device and that specifies the person included in the image in association with attribute information for specifying a position of the person and a time point,

causing a first storage unit to store getting-on station information that specifies a getting-on station of the person in association with the person specifying information of the person using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information, and

causing the first storage unit to store getting-off station information that specifies a getting-off station of the person in association with the person specifying information of the person using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information.

In still another embodiment, there is provided a passenger management method causing a computer to perform

acquiring information on at least a portion including a person of a plurality of images generated by at least one imaging unit installed in the train and generated at different timings,

acquiring person specifying information of a person who gets on the train using a feature amount of a person included in the image,

transmitting the acquired person specifying information to a passenger management device installed in the train,

acquiring getting on-and-off information indicating a getting-on station and a getting-off station of the person indicated by the person specifying information in association with the person specifying information from the passenger management device, and

performing settlement processing on a fare for the train using the getting on-and-off information and the person specifying information.

In still another embodiment, there is provided a program causing a computer installed in a train to perform

a function of transmitting information on a portion including at least a person of a plurality of images generated by at least one imaging unit installed in the train and generated at different timings to a passenger information processing device that performs person specifying processing,

a function of acquiring person specifying information which is a processing result of each of the plurality of images by the passenger information processing device and that specifies the person included in the image in association with attribute information for specifying a position of the person and a time point,

a function of causing a first storage unit to store getting-on station information that specifies a getting-on station of the person in association with the person specifying information of the person using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information, and

a function of causing the first storage unit to store getting-off station information that specifies a getting-off station of the person in association with the person specifying information of the person using the person specifying information and the attribute information associated with the person specifying information.

In still another embodiment, there is provided a program causing a computer to perform

a function of acquiring information on at least a portion including a person of a plurality of images generated by at least one imaging unit installed in the train and generated at different timings,

a function of acquiring person specifying information of a person who gets on the train using a feature amount of a person included in the image, a function of transmitting the acquired person specifying information to a passenger management device installed in the train,

a function of acquiring getting on-and-off information indicating a getting-on station and a getting-off station of the person indicated by the person specifying information in association with the person specifying information from the passenger management device, and

a function of performing settlement processing on a fare for the train using the getting on-and-off information and the person specifying information.

According to the invention, the convenience of the passenger using the paid seat is improved.
