Before introducing the tool, teachers created problem sets, printed forms, distributed forms to students, collected forms, marked each individual form, and managed grades all on paper. By putting these processes online, teachers were able to distribute and collect homework and problem sets in an instant. Teachers were also able to encourage students to submit their work online, incorporate student answers in classes, and even involve parents. Many emerging countries face teacher shortages as the numbers of students soar with population growth. Recruit Marketing Partners is analyzing how Quipper School's use is expanding organ-

### 3. Crime prevention sector

## (1) ICT applications and volunteer coordination in the security field

### a. Service overview and background

Sohgo Security Services Co., Ltd. (ALSOK) has been testing and verifying a service called ALSOK Zone Security Management $ ^{®} $ that equips security personnel with wearable cameras, smartphones, and other devices, as well as the Volunteer Coordinated Security platform, in which security personnel with wearable cameras provide security in coordination with volunteer staff. The impetus for these services is the declining population and labor shortages, anti-terrorism measures, and the hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. According to the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, some 14,000 security personnel will be needed to provide security for multiple venues spread out over a vast area. The problem is the security industry lacks sufficient manpower. It is hoped services like those ALSOK is testing will be able to construct platforms for providing a high level of security with fewer security personnel.

### b. Examples and characteristics of ICT usage

Video from wearable cameras, together with video and signals from surveillance cameras, security robots, security drones, and other sources, is collected at a control center. Information is analyzed at the control center and the analysis results are used to give directions to security personnel and control security devices.

### 4. Disaster and accident mitigation sector

## (1) 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes

A 6.5 magnitude earthquake centered on Kumamoto Prefecture struck on April 14, 2016, which registered 7 on the Japanese seismic-intensity scale in Mashiki, Kumamoto. Two days later, Kumamoto Prefecture was struck again by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake, which registered 7 on the Japanese seismic-intensity scale in Mashiki and other surrounding towns.

In the following paragraphs, we provide a summary of the impact on disaster and accident mitigation the advancement of ICT and the ability to collect and accumulate data has had. We will also compare how ICT was used during this disaster with the Great East Japan cally between teachers via Facebook and other social media, as a tool that solves issues and generates new value.

One precondition that has allowed Quipper School to flourish in emerging countries is the rapid proliferation of smartphones in emerging countries. Economic growth is relatively higher in emerging countries than in developed countries, and to the degree that existing services are scarce, the potential is high for inexpensive and innovative services to grow quickly. Quipper School may be an illustrative precedent, as we watch how EdTech’s growth impacts society.

The application of deep learning technology, a type of artificial intelligence, to video analysis is expected to power programs that detect situations where a suspicious article has been left unattended or where a person is crouching due to a sudden illness and then send in nearby security personnel. Such applications will detect behavioral patterns of suspicious people or people with the intent to commit a criminal act and prevent crime (such as shoplifting or thefts of bags or suitcases). This is akin to reproducing the “sixth sense” of veteran security personnel with a program. Further advances in deep learning technology will lead to the provision of more advanced services with higher levels of image recognition accuracy.

### c. Future development — Potential for creating values through connections with data applications

ALSOK is also looking at initiatives to apply platforms similar to security platforms to emergency medical care. For example, doctors stationed at an information control center would check the external wounds and complexion of people struck by illness or injured in accidents, working from video from security personnel's wearable cameras and images reported by volunteer staff, and provide treatment instructions. It is well known that every minute's delay in treatment following a cardiac arrest reduces a person's chance of survival by 7 to 10 percent. Therefore, prompt treatment will probably help increase survival rates.

### a. Comparison of ICT usage between the Kumamoto earthquakes and the Great East Japan Earthquake

Below we will give some examples of safety confirmation services, information aggregation on the Internet, and applications of new technologies from the Kumamoto earthquakes. In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, mobile phone carriers worked to enhance coordination between disaster message boards and improve their functionality. An example of more expansive coordination between enterprises and organizations is the J-anpi safety information search site, which lets peo-
