    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a human sensor, a microphone, a receiver, and a controller. In a case where an approaching person is detected by the human sensor when the image forming apparatus is in a power saving state, the controller brings the microphone into a state where a voice input is possible, releases operation mechanisms necessary to execute functions associated with content indicated by a voice instruction received by the receiver from a power saving state and brings the operation mechanisms into an ordinary operation state, and causes operation mechanisms necessary to execute functions that are not associated with the content indicated by the voice instruction to be maintained in the power saving state.

    Abstract: A monitoring system includes a first imaging device, a second imaging device, and a controller. The first imaging device captures an image of a first imaging area to generate first captured image data indicating a first captured image. The second imaging device captures an image of a second imaging area to generate second captured image data indicating a second captured image. The controller detects the events. The events include a pre-event. The pre-event is an imaging obstruction act in which imaging is obstructed in the first imaging area. The controller calculates a first obstruction area rate, and calculates a second obstruction area ratee. When the first obstruction area rate is equal to or greater than a threshold and the second obstruction area rate is less than the threshold, the controller detects the imaging obstruction act as the pre-event.

    Abstract: A monitoring system includes an imaging device and a control device. The control device includes a device communication section, a device controller, and device storage. The device controller includes an assignment section and a count section. The imaging device captures an image of an imaging area to generate captured image data indicating the captured image. The device controller acquires the captured image data from the imaging device through the device communication section. The assignment section assigns a plurality of candidate detection ranges to the captured image. The count section counts the number of occurrences of a specific event in each of the candidate detection ranges. The device storage stores therein the number of occurrences of the specific event in association with each of the candidate detection ranges.

    Abstract: A monitoring system includes: a camera, a storage section, and a control unit. The camera photographs an object. The storage section stores a first photographed image photographed by the camera and a second photographed image photographed by the camera at a same photographing place of a photographing place of the first photographed image after the photographing of the first photographed image. The control unit includes a processor and, through execution of a control program by the processor, functions as an obstacle determination section and a control section. The obstacle determination section calculates a difference between the first photographed image and the second photographed image and determines, based on the difference, whether or not an obstacle is present in a photographing range of the camera. The control section performs, upon determination by the obstacle determination section that the obstacle is present, processing of reporting results of the determination.

    Abstract: In a room occupant monitoring system, if any ID information stored in a personal data storage section matches ID information on an entry applicant acquired from an ID storage medium by an information acquisition section and a number of room occupants detected based on results of permission for room entry and exit has reached a maximum number of persons detectable from a monitoring camera's video, a control unit of a server compares degrees of priority, which are stored in a storage section of the server, between the entry applicant and all the room occupants and (i) refuses permission for the entry applicant having a lower degree of priority than all the room occupants to enter the room or, (ii) if there is any room occupant having a lower degree of priority than the entry applicant, performs room exit request processing for requesting the lower-degree-of-priority room occupant to leave the room.

    Abstract: A monitoring system includes an imaging device, a controller, storage, and a notifying section. The imaging device captures an image of an imaging area to generate captured image data indicating a captured image. The controller detects events based on the captured image data. The events include a pre-event and a post-event detected after the pre-event has ended. The controller changes a first flag from an off state to an on state upon detecting the pre-event, and holds the first flag in the on state even after the pre-event has ended. The controller changes the second flag from the off state to the on state upon detecting the post-event, and directs the notifying section to notify of consecutive event occurrence information indicating that consecutive events have occurred.
