Method and system for controlling a device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for controlling a device. The present invention relates to a method for registering and executing instructions in a video capturing device and to a door station. The method comprises receiving at a communication interface of the video capturing device at least one signal representing a first input made using an authorized device, generating at the video capturing device a graphical representation of the at least one received signal, superimposing at the video capturing device the graphical representation onto video captured by the video capturing device and streamed to the authorized device, receiving at the video capturing device, after the at least one signal representing an input made at the authorized device have been received and graphical representations have been generated and superimposed onto video captured by the video capturing device and streamed to the authorized device, a concluding signal representing a concluding input made using the authorized device, translating, in response to said concluding input, the received at least one signal into an instruction executable by the image capturing device, and executing the instruction resulting from the translation of the at least one signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for controlling video capture devices and controlling access to areas. Background technique [0002] Access control devices set up to control access to specific areas have existed for some time. These access control devices may be, for example, card readers, biometric data readers, keypads, tag readers, audio capture devices, video capture devices, and the like. Door intercoms that enable visitors to access areas to connect with people inside are often installed at the entrances of office buildings, apartment buildings, condominiums, airports, schools, logistics centers. In some applications, one or several door intercoms may be connected to multiple access authorizing indoor stations, for example, one in each apartment. In other applications, the access control center is configured to handle all or most access requests from multiple door intercoms. Door intercoms can combine many of the features ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

One drawback of these traditional systems is the need for system specific indoor units, door intercoms, etc.

However, these systems require an indoor unit or console to run the application, and as such, these systems are limited to using devices with specific operating systems
