An inference device includes processing circuitry to generate integrated information by combining items of information respectively belonging to domains different from each other included in dynamically changing external information by means of forward chaining by using knowledge information including information regarding a human's condition and information regarding a human's action and provided from a knowledge base and an inference rule provided from a rule database. Each of the items of information respectively belonging to domains different from each other is information that can be represented as a directed graph including a node and an edge. The integrated information is an integrated graph. The processing circuitry calculates an importance level of a node as a component of the integrated graph from a probability of arriving at the node in a stationary state reached by performing a random walk on the integrated graph or by using an algorithm of PageRank.

A relevance calculation unit calculates relevance between pieces of data constituting a state chart. An individual data binarization unit binarizes the pieces of data constituting the state chart. An optimal array calculation unit calculates an array of the pieces of data constituting the state chart on the basis of the relevance calculated by the relevance calculation unit. An offset setting unit sets an offset indicating a position of each of the pieces of data binarized by the individual data binarization unit in a case where the binarized pieces of data are arranged in the array calculated by the optimal array calculation unit. A binary data integration unit integrates the pieces of data each of which has been binarized by the individual data binarization unit and for each of which the corresponding offset has been set by the offset setting unit in the array calculated by the optimal array calculation unit to obtain binary data. A state chart execution unit executes processing of the state chart on the basis of the binary data.

An abnormality detection device acquires sensor information indicating a state of a person and device information indicating a state of a device, determines whether there is a combination corresponding to the acquired sensor information and acquired device information in a learning database, and determines whether there is sensor information or device information corresponding to the acquired sensor information or the acquired device information in a behavior pattern database. If it is determined that the acquired sensor information is not in a normal range, the device determines that a current state is in the normal state when it is determined that there is the corresponding combination, and determines that the current state is in an abnormal state when it is determined that there is no corresponding combination and no corresponding sensor information or device information.

An interface screen used for the correlation between video data and reference picture data includes: a screenfor displaying the video data reproduced by a video player; and a screenfor displaying a reference picture to be correlated with. When an operator enters an instruction to the operation portionwhile reproduction video, the data for a reference picture displayed on the screen is correlated with a corresponding reproduction time position of the video data.

Image processing system

Desired data can be easily retrieved from material image data associated with video data. For material image data associated with video data, character strings contained in relevant material images are extracted, and keywords input to keyword input parts of a user interface are matched with the extracted characters to retrieve data of the relevant material images. The retrieved material images are changed in size according to their importance before being displayed on a screen.
