Description

Security image control system

The present invention relates to a graphical control technology, and more particularly to a security graphical control system.

For the safety of the site, a security system is usually installed on the site through a security vendor. The security vendor provides the customer with control equipment (such as a local computer) installed on the site so that the customer can control the security system through the control equipment. When the customer has a need for graphical control of the security system, the security vendor can create a configuration file (such as image data) and its related monitoring interface on the control device. However, due to equipment limitations, when the customer has an update requirement for the configuration file or the monitoring interface, the customer needs to notify the security vendor to recall the control device, and cannot directly modify the control device. In this case, the security vendor cannot remotely modify the control device. Furthermore, the control device is easily invaded by computer viruses due to improper operation, resulting in an increased risk of theft.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a security image control system. The security image control system includes a first server, a second server and a third server. The first server stores a customer subscription data and a device configuration data. The device configuration data corresponds to at least one electronic device in a security system. The second server is connected to the first server and the security system. The second server activates the security system based on the customer subscription data and the device configuration data, and obtains a device signal of the security system. The second server has a user database to verify the login authority of an administrator account and a user account. The third server is connected to the second server. The third server stores a device information display profile corresponding to the customer subscription data to provide a monitoring interface based on the device information display profile. The monitoring interface displays the status of at least one electronic device according to the device signal. The third server has a front-end and a back-end, so that the administrator account can enter the back-end to edit the device information display configuration file after logging in to the second server, and the user account can enter the front-end to operate the monitoring interface after logging in to the second server.

In summary, according to the embodiments of the present invention, customers can operate the monitoring interface at any time (such as modifying operations), security personnel can remotely edit the device information display profile, and increase the login security of the system to reduce the risk of theft.

Refer to Figure 1, which is a block diagram of a security image control system 10 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The security image control system 10 includes a first server 11, a second server 13 and a third server 15. The second server 13 is connected to the first server 11 and the security system 20 via a network. The third server 15 is connected to the second server 13 via a network. The security system 20 includes a security host 21 and at least one electronic device 22, 23, 25 connected to the security host 21. Only three electronic devices are shown here, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of electronic devices can be adjusted according to customer needs. The electronic device can be connected to the security host 21 via wired communication or wireless communication. In some embodiments, the electronic devices 22, 23, 25 can be security monitoring devices or Internet of Things devices. Security monitoring equipment is, for example, door and window sensors, human body detectors, or surveillance cameras. IoT devices are, for example, refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, sockets, light bulbs, and other networked controlled devices, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The first server 11 stores customer subscription information and equipment configuration information. Customer subscription information is a record of customer subscription to security services, such as subscription period, quotation amount, location of security system to be set up (hereinafter referred to as site), and customer identity information (such as customer number, customer name and contact number), etc. Equipment configuration information corresponds to the electronic equipment 22, 23, 25 of the security system 20, for example, the equipment configuration information includes the type, name and model of the electronic equipment 22, 23, 25 to be set up. For example, when a customer wants to subscribe to a security service, the security personnel can organize the customer's subscription information and equipment configuration information according to the service content selected by the customer, and input and store the customer's subscription information and equipment configuration information in the first server 11 through an input device (such as a keyboard, mouse, voice input device, touch input device, input device with a transmission interface, etc.) (not shown).

The second server 13 activates the security system 20 according to the customer subscription data and equipment configuration data, and obtains the equipment signal of the security system 20. For example, after the security personnel have set up the security host 21 and electronic equipment 22, 23, and 25 of the security system 20 at the scene, they confirm whether the security system 20 can be connected to the control center (not shown). After confirming that the security system 20 is successfully connected to the control center, the security personnel operate the terminal device to connect to the first server 11 to complete the activation operation. The activation operation refers to the completion of data concatenation between the first server 11 and the second server 13, that is, the first server 11 sends the customer subscription data and equipment configuration data to the second server 13, and the second server 13 activates the security system 20 according to the customer subscription data and equipment configuration data. For example, after the second server 13 learns that the security service has been subscribed according to the customer subscription data, it sends a startup signal with device configuration data to the security host 21 to start the control function of the security host 21 and enable the security host 21 to store the device configuration data for controlling the operation of the electronic devices 21, 23, and 25. The second server 13 also associates the security host 21 with the customer subscription data. After the security system 20 is activated, the second server 13 can obtain device signals related to the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 from the security host 21 of the security system 20. The device signal can include a monitoring signal of a security monitoring device and/or a control signal of an IoT device. A monitoring signal is, for example, a signal indicating whether the security monitoring device has detected abnormal behavior (e.g., intrusion). When the signal indicates an abnormal state, it means that the security monitoring device has detected abnormal behavior. When the signal indicates a normal state, it means that the security monitoring device has not detected abnormal behavior. A control signal is, for example, a turn-on signal generated when the IoT device is turned on or a turn-off signal generated when the IoT device is turned off.

The third server 15 stores a device information display profile corresponding to the customer subscription data. The device information display profile can be a floor plan of each floor of the site or a three-dimensional map of the site. The third server 15 provides a monitoring interface based on the device information display profile and the device configuration data. For example, the monitoring interface can be a graphical interface that combines the device information display profile and the device configuration data. Specifically, the monitoring interface can visually present the installation location of the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 on the site. For example, based on the installation location of the site, a visual pattern is drawn as the corresponding position of the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 in the map data.

The monitoring interface displays the status of the electronic devices 22, 23, 25 according to the device signal. For example, the monitoring interface can display the status of the electronic devices 22, 23, 25 in a visual form. Specifically, the monitoring interface can use different colors and/or patterns to display the different status of the electronic devices 22, 23, 25. For example, the monitoring interface has a name field and a status field of the electronic devices 22, 23, 25. When the status field displays a green circle, it means that the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25 is turned on, and when the status field displays a red cross, it means that the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25 is turned off.

The second server 13 has a user database to verify the login authority of the administrator account and the user account. After passing the verification of the second server 13, you can enter the third server 15 to use its services. The administrator account is for security personnel to use, and the user account is for customers to use.

The third server 15 has a front-end and a back-end. In some embodiments, the front-end and the back-end can be implemented by web pages. After logging in to the second server 13, the administrator account enters the back-end to edit the device information display configuration file, such as adding, deleting, and/or modifying the device information display configuration file. After logging in to the second server 13, the user account enters the front-end to operate the monitoring interface. In this way, customers (such as site security personnel) can operate the monitoring interface at any time, and security personnel can also remotely edit and maintain the device information display configuration file without being restricted by hardware equipment. In some embodiments, after logging into the second server 13 and entering the third server 15, the second server 13 can use SSL encryption to encrypt the instructions generated when the administrator account is edited, and encrypt the instructions generated when the user account is operated. In this way, the risk of theft can be reduced. In some embodiments, in addition to editing the device information display configuration file through the backend, the administrator account can also upload a firmware update file to the third server 15 through the backend, so that the third server 15 performs firmware updates according to the firmware update file.

Refer to FIG. 2, which is a partial schematic diagram of the monitoring interface according to some embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, in addition to presenting the monitoring interface in the form of graphics, aggregated information such as a dashboard can also be presented. The user account can operate the monitoring interface through the front end to display the status of electronic devices 22, 23, 25 of the same type but located in different fields on the same screen, and add field data (such as Taipei store, New Taipei store, etc.) in the field field. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation of the monitoring interface can also be to display the status of electronic devices 22, 23, 25 of different types and in the same field on the same screen, or to display the status of electronic devices 22, 23, 25 of different types and in different fields on multiple screens.

In some embodiments, customer subscription information is associated with a user account. When a customer does not renew the security service, the security personnel operate the first server 11 to disable the customer subscription information. After the customer subscription information of the first server 11 is disabled, the second server 13 prohibits the user account from logging in and entering the front end of the third server 15. In other words, when the security service is subscribed, the customer can log in to the second server 13 through the user account and enter the front end of the third server 15. When the security service is not subscribed, the customer cannot log in to the second server 13 through the user account, and thus cannot enter the front end of the third server 15. In this way, it can be ensured that the customer's usage rights on the third server 15 are updated in real time to save resources.

In some embodiments, the front end has a login QR code. The second server 13 obtains a login message after the terminal device scans the login QR code. For example, the client's terminal device is installed with an application that cooperates with the second server 13. The application scans the login QR code through the image capture device (such as a camera) of the terminal device to generate a login message, and transmits the login message to the second server 13 through the network. The second server 13 verifies the user account based on the user database and the login message. In some embodiments, the login QR code is, for example, a QR code.

In some embodiments, the second server 13 stores a first session ID. In some embodiments, the first session ID can be stored in a user database. When the user account logs into the second server 13 and enters the front end of the third server 15, the third server 15 generates a second session ID and transmits the second session ID to the second server 13. The second server 13 determines whether to log out the user account based on the first session ID and the second session ID, thereby preventing the user from entering the front end. For example, the second server 13 compares the first session ID with the second session ID. When the first session identification code matches the second session identification code, it means that the customer has not logged in to the front end through the user account at a remote location, and the second server 13 maintains the login of the user account. When the first session identification code does not match the second session identification code, it means that the customer has logged in to the front end through the user account at a remote location, and the second server 13 logs out the user account so that the customer cannot enter the front end. In this way, it can be ensured that the customer cannot log in to the front end at a remote location to operate the monitoring interface, thereby reducing the risk of theft.

In some embodiments, after the user account logs in and enters the front end and the monitoring interface is not operated for a period of time, the second server 13 logs out the user account so that the front end cannot be entered. In other words, after the monitoring interface is idle for the period of time, the user account can be logged out to save energy and the risk of being stolen.

In some embodiments, after the administrator account logs in and enters the backend, the second server 13 (e.g., the timer of the second server 13) accumulates the login time. When the login time is greater than the time threshold, the second server 13 logs out the administrator account and prevents the administrator from entering the backend. In this way, it is ensured that the editing performed by the security personnel after logging in to the second server 13 with the administrator account and entering the backend of the third server 15 is completed within a limited time. In other words, the update of the device information display profile will not be delayed.

In some embodiments, the monitoring interface includes a security setting interface, a release interface, an abnormal notification interface, a device activation and deactivation interface, a real-time image interface, and an abnormal image interface. The security setting interface is used to set the security status of the security system 20 to an activated state or a released state. For example, the security setting interface has a security activation button and a security release button. After the customer logs in to the second server 13 with a user account and enters the front end of the third server 15, he clicks the security activation button to set the security status of the security host 21 of the security system 20 to an activated state, or clicks the security release button to set the security status of the security host 21 of the security system 20 to a released state. Specifically, after the security activation button is clicked, the third server 15 transmits a first operation signal to the security host 21 of the security system 20 via the second server 13, so that the security host 21 sets the security status to the activation state after responding to the first operation signal. After the security release button is clicked, the third server 15 transmits a second operation signal to the security host 21 of the security system 20 via the second server 13, so that the security host 21 sets the security status to the release state after responding to the second operation signal. When the security system 20 is in the activation state and abnormal behavior occurs at the scene, the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 can issue an alarm and generate a device signal indicating the abnormal state. When an abnormal behavior occurs at the scene while the security system 20 is in the released state, although the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 detect the abnormal behavior, the security host 21 does not issue an alarm.

The abnormal notification interface responds to the abnormal state of the device signal and issues an abnormal notification to remind the customer that abnormal behavior is currently occurring at the scene. In some embodiments, the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 include cameras as an example for explanation. If an invasion or abnormal event occurs at the scene, the abnormal notification interface will pop up the real-time images of all cameras in the area and issue an abnormal alarm until the scene security personnel turn off the abnormal alarm. In some embodiments, when the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 issue an alarm, the abnormal notification interface automatically pops up a reminder and directs the screen of the abnormal notification interface to the cause of the alarm. In some embodiments, when an electronic device 22, 23, 25 issues an alarm, the abnormal notification interface automatically brings out the real-time picture of the camera in the area to monitor the alarm status in real time. In some embodiments, when an electronic device 22, 23, 25 issues an alarm, the abnormal notification interface issues an abnormal warning sound until the security personnel at the scene clicks the confirmation button of the abnormal notification interface to stop playing, so as to ensure that someone is aware of the alarm. In some embodiments, when an intrusion or abnormal event occurs at the scene, the abnormal notification interface will display which electronic device 22, 23, 25 has an abnormality (i.e., which electronic device 22, 23, 25 currently generates a device signal indicating an abnormal state).

The device startup and shutdown interface is used to control the opening and closing of the electronic devices 22, 23, 25. For example, the device startup and shutdown interface has multiple startup buttons and multiple shutdown buttons, and each electronic device 22, 23, 25 corresponds to one startup button and one shutdown button. After the customer logs in to the second server 13 with a user account and enters the front end of the third server 15, he clicks the startup button to turn on the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25, or clicks the shutdown button to turn off the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25. Specifically, after the on button is clicked, the third server 15 transmits a third operation signal to the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25 via the second server 13, so that the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25 responds to the third operation signal and then turns on. After the off button is clicked, the third server 15 transmits a fourth operation signal to the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25 via the second server 13, so that the corresponding electronic device 22, 23, 25 responds to the fourth operation signal and then turns off.

The real-time image interface displays the real-time image captured by the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25. For example, the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 include a surveillance camera, which captures the scene of the case to generate a real-time image. After the terminal device logs into the second server 13 and connects to the third server 15, it can directly or indirectly connect to the surveillance camera to obtain and display the real-time image on the real-time image interface, so that the customer can monitor the real-time status of the case at any time.

The abnormal image interface displays the surveillance video images taken by the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 in the abnormal state. For example, the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 include surveillance cameras and door and window sensors. When the door and window sensors detect abnormal behavior (such as doors and windows being abnormally opened), that is, abnormal state (device signals indicate abnormal state), the security host 21 generates a trigger signal to the surveillance camera, so that the surveillance camera responds to the trigger signal and transmits the surveillance video images generated by shooting the scene within a period before and after the abnormal behavior (such as 15 seconds before and after) to the second server 13. The third server 15 obtains the surveillance video images from the second server 13 and displays the surveillance video images through the abnormal image interface so that the customer can directly view the relevant images of the abnormal behavior without viewing other irrelevant images. In some embodiments, the surveillance video images can also be transmitted to other servers outside the security image control system 10 (such as Amazon cloud services), and the surveillance video images are transmitted to the third server 15.

In some embodiments, the abnormal image interface also emits a warning sound to remind the customer that abnormal behavior has occurred at the scene. In some embodiments, the abnormal image interface also marks the electronic devices 22, 23, 25 in an abnormal state. For example, the type, name and location of the electronic devices 22, 23, 25 in an abnormal state in the image data are marked with a visual pattern. In this way, the customer can quickly know which electronic device 22, 23, 25 has issued an alarm due to abnormal behavior.

In some embodiments, the application of the first terminal device of the client sends an invitation link to the second terminal device of the visitor. For example, the client operates the application of the first terminal device to log in to the second server 13 and generate an invitation link, and transmits the invitation link to the second terminal device via the network. The second terminal device downloads the application according to the invitation link, and the visitor enters the visitor information in the second terminal device, and the second terminal device uploads the visitor information to the second server 13 through the application and the network. In some embodiments, the visitor information can be stored in a user database. In some embodiments, the visitor information includes the visitor identity information, the visitor's head image, and the visit time, etc. After receiving the visitor data, the second server 13 sends the conference data to the application of the second terminal device through the network. In some embodiments, the conference data includes the conference room number. In some embodiments, the front end has a check-in QR code. In some embodiments, the check-in QR code is, for example, a QR code.

In some embodiments, the second server 13 obtains the check-in message by scanning the check-in QR code through the application of the second terminal device. For example, the application of the visitor's second terminal device scans the check-in QR code through the image capture device (such as a camera) of the second terminal device to generate the check-in message, and transmits the check-in message to the second server 13 through the network. The second server 13 determines whether to open the visitor gate in the electronic devices 22, 23, and 25 of the security system 20 based on the visitor data and the check-in message. Specifically, the second server 13 compares the visitor identity data of the visitor data with the check-in message. If the visitor identity data matches the check-in message, the visitor gate is opened to allow the visitor to enter the case site and then go to the destination (such as a conference room). If the visitor identity data does not match the check-in message, the visitor gate is closed to refuse the visitor from entering the case site.

In some embodiments, a hardware device (such as a computer) that enters the front-end of the third server 15 through user account login can be equipped with an image capture device (such as a camera), which can capture the face of the visitor to generate a facial image to be recognized, and the hardware device can transmit the facial image to be recognized to the third server 15 through the front-end and the network. The third server 15 performs facial recognition based on the head portrait image in the visitor data and the facial image to be recognized to generate a recognition result, and determines whether to open the visitor gate in the electronic equipment 22, 23, and 25 of the security system 20 based on the recognition result. Specifically, when the recognition result is that the head image matches the face image to be recognized, the visitor gate is opened to allow the visitor to enter the case and then go to the destination (such as a conference room). If the recognition result is that the head image does not match the face image to be recognized, the visitor gate is closed to refuse the visitor from entering the case.

In some embodiments, after the visitor gate is opened, the second server 13 sends guidance data to the second terminal device via the network to display on its application. The guidance data can be a guide map of how to go to the destination. In this way, the visitor can go to the destination according to the guidance data.

In some embodiments, the monitoring interface includes a visitor tracking interface and a visitor time limit interface. The visitor tracking interface displays the current location of the visitor and communicates with the visitor through the application of the second terminal device. For example, the electronic devices 22, 23, 25 include a surveillance camera, which can continuously follow the visitor and take pictures of the visitor to transmit a tracking image to the second server 13. The third server 15 can perform image recognition to determine the visitor's current location based on the relevant map data (such as a topographical plan or a topographical stereogram) of the case in the device information display setting file based on the tracking image and the device information, and display the visitor's current location on the visitor tracking interface. In this way, the customer can track the visitor's movement line in the case to ensure that the visitor is not lost. In some embodiments, the tracking image can be stored in other servers outside the security image control system 10 (such as Amazon cloud services), and the tracking image is transmitted to the third server 15. In some embodiments, the visitor tracking interface has a visitor call button. After the first terminal device of the case security personnel logs into the second server 13 with a user account and enters the third server 15, the visitor call button can be clicked to establish an Internet call channel with the second terminal device, so that the security personnel and the visitor can communicate through the Internet call channel.

The visitor time limit interface issues a time limit notification according to the visit time in the visitor data, and provides for extending or shortening the visit time. For example, the third server 15 learns the duration of the visit time according to the visit time, and when the visit time is about to expire (such as 5 minutes before the visit time expires), the third server 15 issues a time limit notification through the visitor time limit interface. In this way, the security personnel can know that the visitor is about to leave the case through the time limit notification. In some embodiments, the time limit notification includes a visual and/or auditory reminder of the current location of the visitor displayed on the visitor time limit interface. For example, when the visiting time is about to expire, the mark point of the visitor's current location is presented in yellow; when the visiting time has expired, the mark point of the visitor's current location is presented in red, and the visiting time limit interface sends a reminder audio message. In some embodiments, the visiting time limit interface has an extension button and a shortening button. After the first terminal device of the case security personnel logs in to the second server 13 with a user account and enters the third server 15, the extension button can be clicked to extend the duration of the visiting time. When the case security personnel clicks the shortening button, the duration of the visiting time can be shortened.

In summary, according to the embodiments of the present invention, customers can operate the monitoring interface at any time (such as modifying operations), security personnel can remotely edit the device information display profile, and increase the login security of the system to reduce the risk of theft.
