Description

Operation method of a home network-based two-way monitoring system {Method for monitoring and recalling based on home network}

The present invention relates to a method of operating a home network-based interactive monitoring system.

Technology development for a service that links a network camera and a mobile phone is actively progressing. In the case of the domestic market, attempts to link a network camera with a mobile phone are currently in the early stages of service, and there are many technical areas to be supplemented.

Initially, WAP-type development was carried out, but most companies failed to implement commercial services and ended up in the demo stage. Recently, as the WIPI-based VM is developed, the technology is progressing little by little.

Since most of the conventional methods use an image server in the middle rather than direct interworking between a network camera and a mobile phone, if many users are generated and concurrent access to the image server increases, the burden on the stability of the service increases. In order to solve this problem, continuous expansion of video servers may increase operation and maintenance costs.

In addition, there are companies that operate in the form of P2P (Peer to Peer) that communicates directly between the network camera and the mobile phone due to the burden of operating such a video server, but due to the limitation of technical access, the server program operated within the network camera uses only one module. Because it operates on the module and provides data of a fixed resolution, it is of CIF or VGA level.

In high resolution, mobile service is difficult, and if you use a small QCIF-level video for mobile, the video quality is inevitably lowered on PC.

In the case of the United States, which has a large market for video equipment such as network cameras, at this stage, PDA phones and video equipment, which are relatively easy to develop technology compared to general mobile phones, are interlocked and serviced, but the penetration rate of PDA phones is not high. There is a growing demand for interworking with general mobile phones. Currently, many interested companies from overseas are trying to introduce technology from domestic developers with a lot of interest in domestic technology development and service conditions.

Meanwhile, the home network refers to transmitting information by connecting each space in the house (eg, master bedroom, kitchen, living room, hallway, etc.). All home appliances in the home have a network communication function and are connected to a network through wired/wireless networks to provide services, collectively referred to as 'information appliances'.

When a home network is established, it becomes possible to directly connect external information through home appliances such as air conditioners and TVs as well as connection to a PC through a server when connecting the house and the outside of the house.

Home network services include video monitoring function, inter-household video call function, gas valve inquiry system, heating control system, door opening function of household entrance or common entrance, crime/disaster prevention function (gas, crime prevention, emergency detection), remote meter reading inquiry function, lighting control system, etc.

A method of interworking a network camera and a mobile phone in a home network can be roughly divided into two types.

The first is a case of installing a video server for interworking a network camera and a mobile phone. In this case, the network camera is not directly connected to the mobile phone, but first transmits the compressed image data to the image server. At this time, if the coder used in the mobile phone is different from the coder built into the network camera, the video server restores the compressed data transmitted from the video server and recompresses it into a format compatible with the coder used in the mobile phone.

Also, in the recompression process, the resolution of the video input from the network camera is adjusted to match the size of the mobile phone LCD. However, if the video server goes through the video server in the middle, effective demonstration is possible in a situation where the number of simultaneous connections is not considered in the initial demonstration stage. Considering the domestic situation where the number of frames being serviced gradually increases due to the demand and the increase in the speed of the wired/wireless network, operating a video server like this will be a huge burden on stability, and even if the video server is expanded as a way to It is bound to be a burden in terms of cost.

And as the second case, there is a form in which a network camera and a mobile phone are directly linked without a video server in a P2P form between the network camera and the mobile phone. In other words, it is a form of transmitting an image to a PC, a wired device, and a mobile phone, a wireless device, in one service process. Therefore, the same data is transmitted over wired and wireless. In the early days of developing linking network cameras and mobile phones, most of the development was done via a video server, but gradually, P2P development rather than via a video server is gradually increasing. In this case, the resolution of the image is determined according to settings in the PC. Therefore, when CIF or VGA level video is set as the service video resolution on the PC, the compressed data with the same resolution is transmitted to both the client program of the PC and the viewer program of the mobile phone. However, since the size of the LCD of a mobile phone is much smaller than that, it is not easy to service.

In other words, when it is actually installed and serviced, each user selects and uses multiple resolutions according to their needs, so no matter what resolution is set on the PC, the wired transmission module and separate mobile module can be compressed and transmitted according to the LCD size of the mobile phone. It needs to be driven.

However, for this purpose, a video compression technology capable of real-time encoding in software even on a low-spec CPU such as a network server device is required. Through this, the wired service uses a hardware video codec chip and for mobile services, the wired module and the mobile module must be driven separately by using a software video compression codec. . However, in the case of a conventionally known video compression technology such as MPEG-4, it is difficult to perform real-time compression processing simultaneously with a hardware chip in software in a system using such a low-spec CPU.

Accordingly, the conventional method of linking a network camera and a mobile phone has problems in that the operation and maintenance cost of the image server is excessive, and it is not easy to provide an image monitoring service because the environment of the mobile phone other than the PC cannot be separately considered.
