Information processing device and determination method

Abstract

An information processing device receives face image data from cameras for photographing respective plurality of zones in a building and includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores first information in which camera identification information of respective plurality of cameras is associated with the plurality of zones, and second information in which registered face image data is associated with a zone into which an entry of a person corresponding to the registered face image data is permitted. The processor refers to the first information and the second information, determines a photographing zone in which a person corresponding to the received face image data has been photographed, and determines whether or not the entry of the person corresponding to the face image data is permitted.

         6 . The information processing device according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the processor collates face image data received from a monitoring camera with registered face image data registered in a blacklist, and determines whether a person corresponding to the face image data received from the monitoring camera has entered a second zone.   
     
     
         7 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the communication section receives first face image data from a first camera installed in a first zone, and receives second face image data from a second camera installed in a second zone,   the processor collates the first face image data with first registered face image data registered in a blacklist, and determines whether a person corresponding to the first registered face image data has entered the first zone, and   the processor collates the second face image data with second registered face image data registered in a whitelist, and determines whether a person other than a person corresponding to the second registered face image data has entered the second zone.   
     
     
         8 . The information processing device according to  claim 7 , wherein
 when it is determined that the person corresponding to the first registered face image data has entered the first zone, the processor outputs a first alarm signal, and   when it is determined that the person other than the person corresponding to the second registered face image data has entered the second zone, the processor outputs a second alarm signal.   
     
     
         9 . The information processing device according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the processor outputs the first alarm signal when a degree of similarity between the first face image data and the first registered face image data exceeds a threshold value.   
     
     
         10 . The information processing device according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the processor outputs the second alarm signal based on a degree of similarity between a predetermined number of a series of the second face image data and the second registered face image data.   
     
     
         11 . The information processing device according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the processor outputs the second alarm signal based on an average value of a degree of similarity between a predetermined number of a series of the second face image data and the second registered face image data.
