Abstract
A paper jam indication estimation device estimates an indication that a paper jam will occur in a paper feed device, and includes: a sound collector that collects a friction sound produced between sheets of paper when the paper is fed into the paper feed device from a holder holding a plurality of sheets of the paper; an estimator that, based on an output result obtained by inputting information pertaining to the friction sound into a trained model that is a machine learning model which has been trained, estimates a presence or absence of an indication that a paper jam will occur in the paper feed device; and an outputter that, when the estimator estimates that the indication that a paper jam will occur is present, outputs, to the paper feed device, a signal that stops the paper from being fed into the paper feed device.
