Patent ID: 8605944

Claim:
An in-train monitor system comprising: an information management system that manages monitoring-target condition information output from sensors included respectively in various devices incorporated in a train; cameras that are incorporated in respective train cars and take images of the devices incorporated in the train; a transmission device that is connected to an in-train transmission channel of each train car and relays imaging data from the camera to each train car, a camera-control central device that is connected to the information management system and the transmission device, monitors the monitoring-target condition information sent from the information management system, determines whether the devices incorporated in the train are in a normal condition, and generates a frame-rate control signal for adjusting a frame rate of imaging data from the camera; and a camera-control terminal device that is connected to the transmission device and the camera and adjusts a frame rate of imaging data from the camera based on the frame-rate control signal; wherein the camera-control central device includes a correspondence relation between the devices and the cameras that take images of the respective devices, and wherein when any of the devices incorporated in the train indicates an abnormal condition, the camera-control central device generates an imaging-direction control signal for adjusting an imaging direction for a camera corresponding to the device indicating the abnormal condition, and the camera-control terminal device sends the imaging-direction control signal to the camera.
