Abstract

A status notification apparatus acquires face image data of a passenger of an aircraft, the face image data having been acquired at departure/arrival airports and of the aircraft, and acquires, from a storage device in which arrival destination information regarding the arrival destination of the aircraft, the face image data of the passenger, and identification information identifying the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance, the identification information and the arrival destination information corresponding to the acquired face image data. The status notification apparatus acquires a movement status of the passenger, and notifies a service provider at the arrival destination of the acquired movement status and the acquired identification information based on the acquired arrival destination information.

First claim

1 . A status notification apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire biological information of a passenger of an airplane, the biological information having been acquired at a departure and arrival facility of the airplane; acquire, from a storage device in which arrival destination information regarding an arrival destination of the airplane, the biological information of the passenger, and identification information for identifying the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance, the identification information corresponding to the acquired biological information; and predict a time when the passenger will leave an arrival gate based on an average time it takes to exit the arrival gate at the departure and arrival facility, and perform notification of the predicted time and the acquired identification information to a person concerned with the passenger at an arrival destination.

2 . The status notification apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the arrival and departure facility is an airport.

3 . The status notification apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the one or more processors further notifies the person concerned with the passenger when immigration inspection of the passenger is completed at the airport.

4 . The status notification apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the biological information is a face image data, the one or more processors further notifies the person concerned with the passenger of the acquired face image data.

5 . A status notification method comprising:
acquiring biological information of a passenger of an airplane, the biological information having been acquired at a departure and arrival facility of the airplane; acquiring, from a storage device in which arrival destination information regarding an arrival destination of the airplane, the biological information of the passenger, and identification information for identifying the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance, the identification information corresponding to the acquired biological information; and predicting a time when the passenger will leave an arrival gate based on an average time it takes to exit the arrival gate at the departure and arrival facility, and performing notification of the predicted time and the acquired identification information to a person concerned with the passenger at an arrival destination.

6 . The status notification method according to claim 5 ,
wherein the arrival and departure facility is an airport.

7 . The status notification method according to claim 6 ,
wherein, when performing notification, the person concerned with the passenger is notified when immigration inspection of the passenger is completed at the airport.

8 . The status notification method according to claim 5 ,
wherein the biological information is a face image data, when performing notification, the acquired face image data is further notified to the person concerned with the passenger of the acquired face image data.

9 . A non-transitory computer readable recording medium including a program recorded thereon, the program including instructions that cause a computer to carry out:
acquiring biological information of a passenger of an airplane, the biological information having been acquired at a departure and arrival facility of the airplane; acquiring, from a storage device in which arrival destination information regarding an arrival destination of the airplane, the biological information of the passenger, and identification information for identifying the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance, the identification information corresponding to the acquired biological information; and predicting a time when the passenger will leave an arrival gate based on an average time it takes to exit the arrival gate at the departure and arrival facility, and performing notification of the predicted time and the acquired identification information to a person concerned with the passenger at an arrival destination.

10 . The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 9 ,
wherein the arrival and departure facility is an airport.

11 . The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 10 ,
wherein, when performing notification, the person concerned with the passenger is notified when immigration inspection of the passenger is completed at the airport.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 9 ,
wherein the biological information is face image data when performing notification, the acquired face image data is further notified to the person concerned with the passenger of the acquired face image data.
