[ According to an embodiment, the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 may further store spatial information about a space (for example, a building or the like) for acquiring image information or outputting a sound source signal.

The device information may be information on the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200. For example, the device information includes information on an IP address assigned to the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200, identification information on the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200, and / or a location where the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 is installed . That is, the device information may be information that can identify and identify the location where the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 and the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 are installed.

The space information may include at least one of an object (e.g., a wall, a window, a roof, a column, and the like) constituting a subspace of the building and / or the building and a phase information of the object . For example, the spatial information may be implemented as Building Information Modeling (BIM) information of the building. Alternatively, if the space is an outdoor space such as a park, it may mean BIM and / or GIS (Geographic Information System) information for the space.

The audio module 320 may receive a sound source signal through a predetermined input unit (not shown), and may transmit the received sound source signal to the speaker unit 230 through the network unit 210.

The input means (not shown) may include various devices capable of inputting sound source signals for broadcasting to the control system 300, such as a microphone, a media device, and / or a keyboard.

For example, when the input unit (not shown) is a microphone, the audio module 320 receives a voice signal from the user through the microphone and outputs the voice signal through the speaker unit 230 can do. In this case, the sound source signal may be a sound signal input by the user through the microphone.

In addition, when the input means (not shown) is implemented as a media device, the media device may be a music player such as a CD player, an MP3 player, or a cassette deck, The audio module 320 may transmit the sound source signal reproduced through the media device to the speaker unit 230 and output the sound source signal. Also, in this case, the sound source signal recorded in advance through the media device may be outputted through the speaker unit 230 as needed.

If the input means 320 is a keyboard, the user can input content to be broadcast as text information through the keyboard. In this case, the audio module 320 may include a predetermined hardware configuration and / or software capable of recognizing the text information and generating a sound source signal corresponding to the recognized text information, Converted into a sound source signal corresponding to the text information, and output through the speaker unit 230. [ Since the technique of converting predetermined text information into a sound source signal corresponding to the text information is well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.

The image module 330 may receive the image information transmitted from the camera module 220 and analyze the image information. The image module 330 may analyze the image information to determine whether a specific object exists in the image information through, for example, image recognition. For example, the video module 330 can determine whether there is a person in the video information, that is, whether there is a person in the space where the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 is installed and the video information is acquired.

Alternatively, the image module 330 may determine not only the specific object but also other objects according to the embodiment. For example, the image module 330 analyzes the image information through image recognition to determine when a fire occurs in the image information. If it is determined that a fire has occurred, the control module 340, which will be described later, The user can control the audio module 320 to output a warning broadcast (or a disaster broadcast) through the user terminal 230 and / or an external system such as a fire department or the like, It is also possible to make quick response possible.

The control module 340 controls the audio module 320 based on the device information stored in the DB 310 and / or the analysis result of the video information of the video module 330, It is possible to specify a specific integrated IP broadcast apparatus 200 to be used. For example, when the video module 300 determines that a specific object is present as a result of analyzing the video information, the control module 340 controls the first integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 300, which obtains video information including the specific object, To control the audio module 320 to transmit the sound source signal. That is, the control module 340 transmits the sound source signal to the first integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200, which has acquired the image information determined to exist the specific object among the plurality of integrated IP broadcasting apparatuses 200, Module 320 may be controlled. Alternatively, if the second integrated IP broadcasting apparatus among the plurality of integrated IP broadcasting apparatuses 200 is selected by the user in a predetermined manner, the audio module 320 ). Here, the first integrated IP broadcasting apparatus and the second integrated IP broadcasting apparatus refer to at least one integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 specified among a plurality of integrated IP broadcasting apparatuses 200 installed in a predetermined space And does not necessarily mean only one integrated IP broadcast apparatus 200 but may also acquire video information including the specific object or may mean two or more integrated IP broadcast apparatuses 200 selected by the user.

The control module 340 outputs a control signal to the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 to control movement or tilt or zoom of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 And the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 can be controlled so as to correspond to the control signal.

As a result, if it is determined by the image module 330 whether a specific object (e.g., person) exists in the image information, the control module 340 determines whether the image information in which the specific object exists is obtained It is possible to control the audio module 320 so that the sound source signal is output only to the space where the sound source signal is generated. In particular, when the specific object is a person, a broadcast (i.e., a sound source signal) can be output only to a space where there is no empty space that no one has, so that an efficient broadcast can be provided. In addition, by allowing the sound source signal to be transmitted only to the second integrated IP broadcasting apparatus selected by the user, the integrated IP broadcasting system 100 can not only broadcast the entire predetermined space but also broadcast and / Or group broadcasting can be enabled.

In addition, if it is possible to determine whether a specific object (e.g., a person) exists in the image information, if an unauthorized person enters a space such as a prohibited area, for example, . That is, when it is determined that a specific object exists in the image information, the pre-recorded sound source signal may be transmitted to the speaker unit 230 and broadcast automatically.

In this case, the control module 340 transmits notification information to a predetermined user terminal such as a portable terminal or a computer of a user (administrator) operating the integrated IP broadcasting system 100, So that an immediate response can be made possible.

When the speaker unit 230 is implemented as a directional speaker system, the control module 340 controls the speaker unit 230 to output a sound source signal having a directivity in a direction in which the specific object exists, Can be controlled. The description will be made with reference to Fig.

3 shows an example in which a sound source signal is output so as to have directivity in a specific object direction within an image acquisition range of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, an image information acquisition range 10 capable of acquiring image information in a predetermined space can be specified by the available moving space or rotation angle of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200. If there is a specific object 30 within the image information acquisition range 10, the image module 330 determines whether the specific object 30 exists in the image information acquired from the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200, And / or determine at which position the specific object 30 is present. To this end, the image module 330 receives the information about the position and / or the direction of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 when the image information including the specific object 30 is captured, The position of the specific object 30 in the space can be determined based on the position of the specific object 30. [

For example, the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 can photograph the image information acquisition range 10 in the space while performing rotation, i.e., tilt. Then, information on the photographed image information and photographing direction information (e.g., tilt, move, shit, zoom, rotation angle, etc.) corresponding to the image information can be transmitted to the control system. Then, the image module 330 extracts image information including the specific object 30, and determines TMZ information corresponding to the extracted image information and the position of the specific object 30 in the image information . Then, the image module 330 can determine the position of the specific object 30 in the space, and when the determined information is transmitted to the control module 340, The integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 can be controlled so that the speaker unit 230 can be oriented in the direction of the arrow. The speaker unit 230 may be arranged to output audio in the same direction as the video sensing direction of the camera unit of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200. Accordingly, the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 can control the speaker unit 230 to face the direction in which the specific object 30 exists, particularly in the image information acquisition range 10 in the space.

According to an embodiment, the control module 340 may have a directivity in a shooting direction of image information including the specific object 30. If the speaker has a directivity that is narrower than the range of the image taken by the camera unit in the photographing direction, the control module 340 causes the speaker unit to face the speaker unit in the photographing direction, Directional audio signal is output in the direction of the specific object 30 within the image acquisition range in the direction of the specific object 30. [

Then, the sound source signal 20 outputted through the speaker unit 230 under the control of the audio module can output a directional sound signal toward the specific object 30. For this, the speaker unit 230 may include a directional speaker. In addition, the sound (i.e., sound source signal) output through the directional speaker can be directed and output only in a specific direction without spreading in all directions. Since the speaker having directivity is widely known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted in the present specification.

As described above, even when a person is present in a large space such as a lobby of a building or a large classroom, the sound source signal can be output only in a direction in which a person is present without spreading in all directions, thereby increasing the concentration of the sound source signal .

In particular, if the specific object is a person, if the image module 330 can recognize not only the presence of a person but also a face of a person, even if several people are gathered in the predetermined space, the sound source signal is output You may. For example, it may be effective to be able to output the sound source signal only to a necessary specific person when there are a large number of people in a space such as a lobby of a building, a conference room, or the like. When there is a message or announcement to be delivered to a specific person, it is possible to minimize the noise caused by the broadcast to other people in the conference and to deliver the message or the announcement broadcast only to the specific person, It may have an effect of being able to be transmitted more efficiently to a specific person receiving the broadcast.

That is, when a small number of people are gathered in a predetermined space in a predetermined space, or when a broadcast is transmitted to a specific person whose face is recognized by the video module 330, The integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 may output the sound source signal 20 having the directivity in the direction in which the specific object 30 exists so that the efficiency and the degree of concentration of broadcasting .

Meanwhile, the image module 330 may display image information transmitted from the camera unit 220 on a predetermined monitor device (not shown). The monitor device (not shown) may be installed in a predetermined management room, a broadcasting room, a security center, or the like as described above, and display the image information, thereby performing video surveillance by a user (administrator).

At this time, the image information displayed on the monitor device (not shown) may be image information transmitted from the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 selected by the user, or a specific object exists by the image module 330 If it is judged, the corresponding image information may be displayed.

As a result, the integrated IP broadcasting system 100 according to the technical idea of the present invention not only can reduce the cost of constructing a separate system by combining the video surveillance system and the broadcasting system, And selectively outputting the sound source signal, thereby enabling efficient and highly concentrated broadcasting.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 shows an example in which an integrated IP broadcasting system according to the technical idea of the present invention is operated.

Referring to FIG. 4, the image module 330 may display the spatial information and / or the device information stored in the DB 310 on the monitor device (not shown). For example, the video module 330 may display the space information as an image as shown in FIG. 3, and may display a place where the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 is installed on the image, Icon or UI to easily identify the location of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 in which the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 is installed.

At this time, the control module 330 can select a predetermined area of the space information and / or the device information displayed on the monitor device (not shown) by the image module 330 from the user. For example, the user can select a predetermined area by dragging a mouse on the displayed screen, or select one of a plurality of preset areas.

When a predetermined area is selected by the user, the control module 330 can specify the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 included in the selected predetermined area. For example, if the user selects the second layer of the building as shown in FIG. 4B, at least one integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 installed on the second floor among the installed integrated IP broadcasting apparatuses 200 may be specified. Then, the audio signal may be transmitted to the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 so that the audio broadcasting is outputted to the second floor only.

Alternatively, when the specific device information, that is, the specific integrated IP broadcast apparatus 200 is selected on the screen on which the spatial information and the apparatus information are displayed, the selected integrated IP broadcast apparatus 200 is selected, and the specified integrated IP broadcast apparatus 200 , Or may transmit the audio signal as described above.

For example, if the building is a predetermined shopping mall, the image module 330 may store the spatial information on the shopping mall and the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 (e.g., 1, 2, 3 ..., 8) can be displayed.

FIG. 4A shows a screen that can be displayed through the monitor device (not shown) when the user selects the first floor of the shopping mall. FIG. 4B shows a screen that can be displayed when the second floor of the shopping mall is selected.

When the user selects one of the spatial information of the shopping mall as shown in FIG. 4A, the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 (1, 2, 3, 4) installed on the first floor by the control module 330 Can be specified.

When the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 is identified, the user can broadcast to the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 specified through the control module 330. That is, broadcasting can be performed only on a selected one of the entire shopping mall. In this case, the video module 330 receives the video information obtained from the specified integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200, that is, the integrated IP broadcasting apparatus (for example, 1, 2, 3, 4) And display at least one of the transmitted image information on the monitor device (not shown).

Of course, it is also possible to separately select only a part (e.g., 1, 3) of the integrated IP broadcasting apparatuses 200 (for example, 1, 2, 3, 4) installed in the first floor. In this case, The audio module 320 can be controlled to transmit the sound source signal by specifying only the device 200 (e.g., 1, 3). Also, the video module 330 can receive video information from the specified integrated IP broadcasting apparatus 200 (e.g., 1, 3).
