A queueing start measurement unit which measures arrival of an elevator user at a preset location; a boarding measurement unit which measures boarding of the elevator user in an elevator car; a storage unit which stores an arrival time measured by the queueing start measurement unit and a boarding time measured by the boarding measurement unit; and a waiting time calculation unit which, on the basis of the arrival time and the boarding time stored in the storage unit, calculates a waiting time for which the elevator user is expected to wait before boarding the elevator car are provided. As a result, it is possible to calculate a waiting time at an elevator landing area with simple processing and a simple configuration.

Device and method for estimating elevator waiting time

An imaging control apparatus includes an identification unit that identifies an object to be introduced and an object introducer who introduces the object to be introduced individually as subjects on the basis of captured image data obtained by an imaging unit of an imaging device, a selection unit that selects one of the object to be introduced and the object introducer as a target subject on the basis of a positional relationship between at least any two of the object to be introduced, the object introducer, and the imaging device, and an imaging control unit that performs imaging control on a subject selected as the target subject by the selection unit.
