Patent ID: 7840284

Claim:
An information processing apparatus for performing monitor processing based on sensor data, comprising: a first means for independently sensing data of a first format, the first format being video; a second means for independently sensing data of a second format, the second format being different from the first format; means for extracting surveilled features of an object being monitored from the sensor data obtained by the first and second means for sensing, said means for extracting surveilled features of an object being monitored determines an inter-frame difference of the sensor data obtained so as to calculate a center of gravity of an inter-frame difference to indicate a position of a moving object; means for determining whether a surveillance event has occurred based on a comparison of determination parameters to the surveilled features extracted by the means for extracting; means for individually switching ON or OFF each of the first and second means for sensing according to a decision signal based on an instruction transmitted from a further information processing apparatus.
