HUMAN PROTECTION AI / PATENT & DEVELOPMENT

Not to monitor people.
To protect them.

Published patented detection and recording technology, alongside commissioned development of cameras, video analytics, Edge AI and management platforms. These two pathways support discussions of site-specific PoCs and joint development.

Development concept connecting multiple cameras and devices to AI analysis and management interfaces
This illustration shows AI and camera development areas SLL can address. It does not depict the scope of rights of Japanese Patent No. 7728631.
OPERATIONS / RECORDS / HUMAN REVIEW

Design consultation, fact-finding and organizational responses, not just equipment-based compliance.

In Japan, from October 1, 2026, all employers must take employment-management measures to prevent workplace customer harassment.

01 / CONSULT

Consultation procedures

A process that lets employees seek help and safely reach the responsible team.

02 / VERIFY

Fact-finding

Not every customer complaint is harassment. Legitimate requests within socially acceptable bounds are not harassment; people must review the individual circumstances.

03 / RESPOND

Organizational response

Appropriate recording methods, protection of those involved and prevention of recurrence.

AI or audio/video recording equipment alone does not complete legal compliance. AI supports record organization and review; people and organizations make the final decisions.

04 / WHY NOW

Customer harassment prevention: beyond compliance, so frontline staff are not left alone.

In Japan, customer-harassment prevention measures become mandatory for employers on October 1, 2026 under Act No. 63 of 2025, promulgated June 11, 2025, amending the Act on Comprehensive Promotion of Labor Policies and related laws. The prevention guidelines are Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Notice No. 51 of 2026, issued February 26, 2026.

23.2%

of companies reported an increase in consultations known to them

35.5%

of companies had taken no customer-harassment measures

71.1%

of workers reported no particular initiatives at their workplace

05 / AI ROLE

AI helps make records more objective; it does not decide.

What AI supports

  • Using audio and images as material for review
  • Supporting records from before detection through the end of the conduct
  • Highlighting intervals for the responsible person to review
  • Sharing factual information within the organization

What AI does not replace

  • Determining illegality or criminal conduct
  • Disciplinary or legal decisions
  • Completing statutory measures through equipment alone
  • Staffing and consultation arrangements

(54) Title of invention: Harassment detection and recording device

(57) Claims / Claim 1

A sensor that collects audio data and image data by capturing sound and images from the position at which it is mounted;

detection means that detects harassment behavior based on, and by combining, the audio data and image data collected by the sensor; and

control means that, when harassment behavior is detected by the detection means, stores in a storage device, from among the audio data and image data collected by the sensor, at least the audio and image data from before detection of the harassment behavior until the harassment behavior ends after detection;

a harassment detection and recording device comprising the above and worn on clothing.

Claim 2

Further comprising temporary storage means that temporarily stores the audio data and image data collected by the sensor;

the sensor collecting the audio data and image data continuously in real time, or collecting them by periodic sampling;

the control means, when harassment behavior is detected by the detection means, storing in the storage device, from among the audio data and image data stored in the temporary storage means, at least the audio and image data from before detection of the harassment behavior until the harassment behavior ends after detection,

1. Using existing surveillance cameras

Analyze existing camera footage with AI in one workflow for discovering incidents, creating clips, supporting objective review and organizing evidence.

Existing surveillance cameras

Import footage from cameras already installed in shops and facilities into the platform.

  • Secure import of existing camera footage / on-premises or cloud configurations

  • Export clip / add to report

Toward faster response and recurrence prevention

Use evidence footage to speed up fact checking and support appropriate responses and recurrence prevention.

  • Secure storage and permission management / manage evidence in a secure environment intended to support reliability
  • Automatic AI detection: identifies scenes that may involve harassment
  • Clip relevant scenes: automatically select clip lengths including preceding and following context
  • Organize evidence: chronological records for each incident, with report output
  • Support prompt action: the concept aims to substantially reduce fact-checking time and enable early response and recurrence prevention

Reuse existing cameras. The concept aims to make harassment response more dependable and faster with AI.

Arrows lead from existing cameras on the left to AI detection / clipping in the center and human review / retention on the right. Four functions are summarized below.

Site note: a development configuration example. Scores such as 0.92 are screen examples, not validated detection performance or a guarantee of legal evidentiary value. Compatibility and operational requirements must be assessed individually.

Turn existing video into manageable incident intervals

Receive video from cameras already installed in shops, stations, hospitals and public counters; extract intervals for review and organize clips with related information by incident. Define connection methods, recording formats and storage locations individually in the PoC.

Images are configuration concepts, not finished product specifications, deployment records or detection-accuracy evidence. AI supports human and organizational review and judgment; it does not determine legal assessments.

15 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I ask about fixed cameras on this patent page?

Yes. This page presents fixed cameras and general video analytics as SLL's separate commissioned-development business, not as an explanation of this patent's scope.

Can AI be added to existing cameras and recording devices?

For existing video and audio the organization may lawfully handle, we confirm purpose, access permissions, retention and computing environment before considering incident clipping, timelines and sharing with staff. This is not an individual victim-support service or outsourced legal-compliance service.

Can you develop AI dashboards and smartphone interfaces?

We welcome discussions of management-platform design and development covering incident lists, timelines, video/audio review, permissions and notifications.

Is audio or video recording legally mandatory?

Japan's amended law and guidelines do not impose a blanket audio/video recording requirement. Organizational measures must include consultation channels, fact-finding, employee protection and prevention of recurrence. If records are used, confirm purpose, access rights, retention and personal-data handling. Installing equipment alone does not complete compliance.

Does AI determine harassment or illegality?

People and organizations make the final decisions. AI handles audio, images and other information to support objective preparation of material for review.

How long does a PoC take?

Typically four to eight weeks, designed around scope and site conditions. NDA and closed-network environments can also be accommodated.

Is recording continuous, and how is personal data handled?

This technology is not intended for continuous surveillance of people.

An embodiment in the granted publication describes sensors capturing audio and images continuously or periodically, deleting or overwriting buffered data after a set time, and preserving at least the interval from before detection through the end of the conduct when harassment is detected.

Actual operations are designed to comply with Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information and other applicable laws.

Is the technology only for customer harassment?

No. The specification describes various forms of harassment in workplaces, schools and other settings, including sexual harassment, power harassment, gender harassment and customer harassment.
