Remote camera image real-time sharing method and system

Abstract

The invention provides a remote camera image real-time sharing method and system. The remote camera image real-time sharing method comprises the steps of registering a held camera device on a server through a terminal by a user; sharing the camera device through the terminal by the user; selecting and connecting one camera device through the terminal by the user; receiving and playing real-time images shot by the camera device through the terminal by the user; and changing shooting behaviors of the camera device through the terminal by the user. According to the method, the real-time image data are pushed from the camera device to the terminal by adopting a live broadcast mode, and the terminal transcodes the received video into the format which can be played locally and plays the video stream for the user in real time. During the playing process, the user can send an instruction to change the shooting behaviors of the remote camera device through a control interface provided by the terminal. In addition, the user can register any camera device thereof in the system and provide a real-time sharing service of the remote camera images for the other users. Therefore, the number of available camera devices is increased greatly, and the system expandability is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technology for real-time sharing of remote camera pictures, and further relates to a method and system for allowing real-time viewing of pictures taken by any network camera device connected to the Internet on a local terminal. Background technique [0002] The real-time sharing technology of remote camera images allows users to watch the real-time images captured by any camera device connected to the Internet through the terminal in real time, and has a wide range of applications in news reports, telemedicine, security monitoring and other fields. The existing technical solutions mainly include: [0003] 1. A method in which a server publishes surveillance camera information and rebroadcasts video images to user terminals. Among them, the server located on the Internet releases the summary information of the camera; the user terminal obtains the summary information from the server and selects a camera accordingly, a...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantages of the above schemes are: in scheme 1, the server located on the Internet transcodes the pictures taken by the camera equipment in real time and forwards them to the user terminal, and the server has a large load during peak hours; the local browser of the terminal has limited functions, Users cannot remotely control the shooting behavior of the camera equipment through the browser, and the interactivity is not high

In solution 2, the control and playback unit of the terminal is only suitable for a specific type of camera equipment, and the compatibility is poor

In addition, the existing technical solutions all have the problem of low system scalability, mainly because the service provider needs to manage and maintain all camera equipment in a unified manner

Considering the cost factor, the number and functions of the equipment it can provide are often unable to meet the growing usage needs of service requesters
