Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A control device includes a detection section, a determination section, and a controller. The detection section detects a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object. The determination section determines a control option of the image capturing device. The controller controls the image capturing device according to the control option. The determination section determines the control option based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A control device comprising: a detection section configured to detect a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object; a determination section configured to determine a control option of the image capturing device; and a controller configured to control the image capturing device according to the control option, wherein the determination section determines the control option based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed. 2 . The control device according to claim wherein when the change location is located within a gateway area, the determination section determines termination of tracking of the tracking target object. 3 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the determination section determines the control option according to presence or non-presence of a person holding the tracking target object. 4 . The control device according to claim wherein the determination section determines the control option according to a number of security guards on guard over the tracking target object. 5 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein when the change location coincides with an installation position for the tracking target object, the determination section determines termination of tracking of the tracking target object by the image capturing device. 6 . A monitoring system comprising: an image capturing device; and the control device according to claim 1 . 7 . A monitoring camera control method comprising: detecting a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object; determining a control option of the image capturing device based on a result of detection of the tracking state; and controlling the image capturing device according to the control option, wherein in the determining, the control option is determined based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed. 8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a monitoring program for execution by a computer, the monitoring program comprising: detecting a tracking state of an image capturing device that tracks a tracking target object; determining a control option of the image capturing device based on a result of detection of the tracking state; and controlling the image capturing device according to the control option, wherein in the determining, the control option is determined based on a change location where the tracking state with respect to the tracking target object has changed.
