Control method for IP audio and video apparatus

Abstract

Aiming at the condition that the prior IP sound video equipment does not have a universal method for collocation, management and maintenance, the invention discloses a control method for the IP sound video equipment. A controller controls the IP sound video equipment through the network, and the controller and the IP sound video equipment both contain equipment standard protocols as follows: the IP sound video equipment is classified according to types of the equipment and the provided service, and an excusive equipment identifier is arranged for each type of IP sound video equipment; the information sent by the IP sound video equipment to the controller is prescribed to be equipment describing information, and the information sent by the controller to the IP sound video equipment is equipment controlling information; and the equipment describing information and the equipment controlling information are expressed in extensible markup language (XML) formats and are transmitted through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The invention comprises remote collocation, automatic upgrade, real-time operation and preconcerted monitoring for the IP sound video equipment so as to enable the IP sound video equipment to realize uniform collocation, maintenance and management.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control method of IP voice and video equipment. Background technique [0002] With the maturity and widespread application of voice transmission and video transmission technologies based on Internet Protocol, the equipment of various manufacturers has become very different. Because IP audio and video equipment must work with the help of some services and protocols, the configuration process and control methods of each manufacturer's equipment are different. There is no general equipment configuration management mechanism and specifications, and cumbersome configuration instructions and instructions must be made for equipment use. Device control description, the loss of voice and video services caused by device configuration errors and incorrect controls, and the cost of device maintenance will also increase accordingly. Users must also understand the configuration manuals and control methods of various manufacturers in order ...
