1. An assistance system comprising circuitry configured to:
automatically determine a location of an attention-requiring person via detection by a monitoring camera installed in a facility and/or a global positioning system of a mobile terminal carried by the attention-requiring person;
determine, via the monitoring camera and/or the global positioning system, a movement of the attention-requiring person;
predict, via an area determining unit comprising a processor, a flow line of the attention-requiring person based on the location and a movement direction of the attention-requiring person as determined by the monitoring camera and/or the global positioning system, and based on a movement history of the attention-requiring person, the movement history of the attention-requiring person being stored in an information storage unit;
determine, via the area determining unit, an affected area based on the predicted flow line of the attention-requiring person;
automatically, via a notification unit, output via the mobile terminal an attention request to an output unit comprising a display that is present in the affected area; and
automatically identify, via the notification unit, a motorized automobile that will intersect the affected area,
wherein the affected area includes a region extending from the location of the attention-requiring person and, the output unit being in a fixed location near the affected area and comprising a traffic signal, and the display of the traffic signal changes to stop the motorized automobile in response to the request to prevent intersection and/or overlap of a flow line of the motorized automobile with the affected area.
