Drawings
FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the present invention.
Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
Example 1:
referring to fig. 1, a method for simulating a network camera into a USB camera is used to simulate the network camera into the USB camera, and an application program can manage the network camera only by calling a standard linux device driver interface. The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
And the software overall framework comprises device discovery, device parameter configuration and device control. The program is presented in the form of linux ko (kernel driver). The device discovery function is mainly used for searching online devices and comprises two search modes, namely automatic search and manual search. The equipment parameter configuration is mainly used for parameter configuration of single equipment and parameter template configuration, and is convenient for batch setting. And equipment control, which comprises the operations of realizing snapshot, reading audio and video stream, reporting of shielding alarm and the like on a single equipment.
The program execution flow comprises the following steps,
step 1: loading device drivers
The program exists in a ko (linux device driver) form, the linux kernel is started, and after network initialization is completed, the device driver corresponding to the network camera can be loaded through a linux standard command. The device driver firstly initializes a local running environment, then initializes a network camera to find a protocol and waits for the next operation of a user;
step 2: device discovery
And searching in the local area network through a search mode set by the application program. When a new device is accessed to the local area network, the information can be sent to the local area network in a multicast mode. After receiving the multicast information, the device discovery program further performs security authentication to acquire specific information of the device. Meanwhile, the device discovery program can also actively search whether the local area network has the device which conforms to the network camera protocol.
And step 3: creating a device node
When the device discovery program searches for a new device, a device node is added under/dev. Thus, the operation of the webcam is similar to that of the usb webcam. The corresponding equipment node can be opened through an open method, and parameter setting and further operation of the equipment are completed.
And 4, step 4: heartbeat
After the device node is added, regular interaction is needed to judge whether the device node is online or not. The driver implements a device with periodic access.
And 5: device access
Device access is critical to the program and includes acquisition of device information, modification of device information, and device control, and acquisition of network media streams. The access mode is that the equipment is opened and closed through open and close, and the specific operation is carried out on the equipment through ioctl.
Step 6: device disconnection
The equipment is disconnected, and is divided into normal disconnection and abnormal disconnection. Normally disconnected, the driver will receive the device leave message. Abnormal disconnection, such as power failure, network failure. For both cases. The driver deletes the device node under/dev.
And 7: device unloading
The device unloading realizes the unloading function of the network camera drive, and the application program can complete the unloading of the program through the step.
The invention changes the complex implementation mode of the IPC camera application program, and the application program can more simply and conveniently complete the management of the IPC equipment.
Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to the illustrated embodiments thereof, which are intended to be preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, and that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art that will fall within the spirit and scope of the principles of this disclosure.
