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 including a scheduled arrival time 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 and the arrival destination information corresponding to the acquired biological information; acquire a movement status of the passenger; and determine whether current time is past the scheduled arrival time, and determine whether arrival of the passenger is delayed based on the determination result about the scheduled arrival time; and perform notification of the acquired movement status and the acquired identification information to a person concerned with the passenger at an arrival destination based on the acquired arrival destination information, and further perform notification of the delay of the passenger to the person concerned with the passenger at the arrival destination if the arrival of the passenger is delay.

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 including a scheduled arrival time 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 and the arrival destination information corresponding to the acquired biological information; acquiring a movement status of the passenger; and determining whether current time is past the scheduled arrival time, and determining whether arrival of the passenger is delayed based on the determination result about the scheduled arrival time; and performing notification of the acquired movement status and the acquired identification information to a person concerned with the passenger at an arrival destination based on the acquired arrival destination information, and further performing notification of the delay of the passenger to the person concerned with the passenger at the arrival destination if the arrival of the passenger is delay.

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 in the 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 face image data, the acquired face image data is notified to the person concerned with the passenger.

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 including a scheduled arrival time 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 and the arrival destination information corresponding to the acquired biological information; acquiring a movement status of the passenger; and determining whether current time is past the scheduled arrival time, and determining whether arrival of the passenger is delayed based on the determination result about the scheduled arrival time; and performing notification of the acquired movement status and the acquired identification information to a person concerned with the passenger at an arrival destination based on the acquired arrival destination information, and further performing notification of the delay of the passenger to the person concerned with the passenger at the arrival destination if the arrival of the passenger is delay.

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 in the 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, the acquired face image data is notified to the person concerned with the passenger.
