[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0034] Embodiment One

[0035] The embodiment provides a method for automatically arranging a round tour, so as to automatically group and round tour video acquisition devices in a specific area. The round tour refers to cyclically playing live video of the video acquisition devices on multiple video windows or monitors at a certain time interval.

[0036] In the automatic arrangement of the round tour, the video acquisition devices are automatically matched with the arrangement of the video windows or monitors, and the arrangement is not fixed. The automatic arrangement of the round tour in the embodiment is the automatic arrangement of the round tour of the single window in the live interface, and the automatic arrangement of the round tour of the single window is corresponding to the video acquisition device of the same type of alarm.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the method for automatically arranging the round tour in the embodiment comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0038] Step S1, receiving an alarm generated by a video acquisition device in a selected area.

[0039] The selected area is a concept of area division, which is for the entire area where the video acquisition devices are arranged, or for a certain range in the area. For example, the area can be divided for the entire campus, or the area can be divided for the teaching area in the campus.

[0040] According to the concept of area division, the embodiment divides a batch of video acquisition devices according to the area, and then selects the divided area as the selected area, so as to realize the monitoring of the area and reduce the alarm processing pressure in a large range.

[0041] As for the operation of dividing the area, the entire area where the video acquisition devices are arranged can be divided into a plurality of monitoring areas according to the partition information input by the user, and the video acquisition devices belonging to the same monitoring area are taken as a monitoring group. The area division method has strong adaptability to the monitoring demand of the user, and of course this is not the only area division method.

[0042] In other embodiments, for example, the area can also be divided according to whether the monitoring range of the video acquisition device overlaps, that is, the video acquisition devices with overlapping monitoring areas are divided into a monitoring group. The advantage of this division method is that the monitoring range of the video acquisition device in the monitoring area corresponding to each monitoring group is continuous, so as to facilitate the tracing of the monitoring object, but this method has certain requirements for the arrangement of the video acquisition device, and is more suitable for the implementation of the monitoring in a small range.

[0043] It is easy to understand that in actual application, the rules of area division can be diverse, and the area can also be divided according to the user demand, the importance of the monitoring area and other factors.

[0044] ​After the division of the regions, the regions that need to be monitored at present need to be selected according to the monitoring requirements. In this embodiment, a preferred selection method is provided, that is, according to the enabling information input by the user, the enabled monitoring regions and the non-enabled monitoring regions in the plurality of monitoring regions are determined, and the enabled monitoring regions are taken as the selected regions.

[0045] All the monitoring regions obtained by the division can be freely selected by the user to obtain the required monitoring resources, so that the alarm live in the video tour interface is relatively simple and clear, and the user can be facilitated to locate the alarm content.

[0046] The selected regions can be one or more monitoring regions, that is, a certain monitoring region can be selected for monitoring alone, or a plurality of monitoring regions can be combined for simultaneous monitoring, so that the variability of the monitoring range is increased to adapt to the use in different environments.

[0047] In addition, when the selected regions are a plurality of monitoring regions, the alarms in the plurality of monitoring regions can be summarized and automatically laid out for tour, or the alarms in the individual monitoring regions can be automatically laid out for tour. This can be adjusted according to the resources of the video window or the monitor or the monitoring requirements.

[0048] In step S2, the video capture device generating the alarm is allocated to the corresponding tour group according to the classification rule.

[0049] It is considered that not all the alarms generated by the video capture device in the actual situation need to be processed, for example, the alarm level is not high enough, and the selected regions do not need alarm linkage automatic layout tour for all the video capture devices. Therefore, in an embodiment, after receiving the alarm generated by the video capture device in the selected region, it is further judged whether the received alarm needs to be processed. If the alarm does not need to be processed, the video capture device generating the alarm does not need to be allocated. Otherwise, it is judged whether the video capture device generating the alarm is configured with alarm linkage automatic layout tour. If the video capture device is not configured with alarm linkage automatic layout tour, the video capture device generating the alarm does not need to be allocated. Otherwise, the video capture device generating the alarm is allocated to the corresponding tour group according to the classification rule.

[0050] Since the triggered alarms are various, if the same tour group is used for tour, the tour screen is easy to be complicated. Therefore, in this embodiment, the alarms in the same selected region are grouped, and the classification rule used for grouping can be that the video capture devices generating the alarms with the same name in the selected region are taken as a tour group, so as to facilitate the monitoring in a specific behavior scenario and facilitate the positioning of the required monitoring screen.

[0051] Of course, the classification rule can also be adjusted according to the actual use process, for example, the video capture devices generating the alarms with the same importance level can be taken as a tour group, so as to facilitate the timely adoption of corresponding measures for important alarms.

[0052] Taking the alarm name grouping as an example, if no alarm needs to be processed and is configured with automatic layout round patrol at present for a kind of alarm name, the round patrol group corresponding to the alarm name is currently empty, that is, no round patrol is needed; when the first alarm needs to be processed and is configured with automatic layout round patrol, the video acquisition device generating the alarm is added to the round patrol group corresponding to the alarm name, and automatic layout round patrol is started to automatically match the layout of the video pane or monitor for round patrol; when the alarm name needs to be processed and is configured with automatic layout round patrol again, the newly generated video acquisition device of the alarm is added to the round patrol group corresponding to the alarm name for round patrol.

[0053] When the video acquisition device is distributed, if the video acquisition device already exists in the corresponding round patrol group, the video acquisition device can not be continuously added to the round patrol group to avoid repeated addition; or the video acquisition device can be added to the round patrol group again, that is, the same video acquisition device is allowed to occupy two resources in one round patrol group to increase the round patrol times and duration of the video acquisition device, and the alarm multiple generation device is taken as a key monitoring object.

[0054] Step S3, automatically round patrolling and playing the video data acquired by the video acquisition devices in the round patrol group according to the configuration information.

[0055] The configuration information includes round patrol duration, round patrol sequence, etc., wherein the round patrol duration refers to the playing duration of a single video, and the round patrol sequence refers to the playing sequence of the video acquisition devices in the round patrol group. The configuration information can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0056] For example, the round patrol sequence can be round patrolling according to the time sequence of the video acquisition devices added to the round patrol group, can also be random round patrol, or can be round patrolling according to the importance level.

[0057] When round patrolling and playing the video data acquired by all the video acquisition devices in each round patrol group, the video data of a certain video acquisition device in the round patrol group can be manually closed, or the whole round patrol group can be manually closed; or a monitoring duration can be set, the round patrol group is continuously round patrolled within the monitoring duration, and the whole round patrol group is automatically closed after the monitoring duration is reached to release the video acquisition devices.

[0058] The automatic layout and rotation method provided in this application achieves zoned monitoring by selecting areas, reducing alarm processing pressure and improving the timeliness of automatic layout and rotation in alarm linkage. Automatic grouping and rotation of video acquisition devices within the selected area facilitates centralized monitoring in specific scenarios, making the live feed from the video acquisition devices more targeted and allowing users to easily locate the desired monitoring situation. For example, it can more quickly monitor non-medical personnel entering prohibited areas in hospitals; non-staff members moving items in shopping malls; and school bullying or fights on campuses.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment uses a front-end camera as a video acquisition device and considers the distribution of front-end cameras in the local and external domains to provide an automatic layout and rotation method as follows.

[0061] The "local domain" refers to the area where the monitoring authority is located, while the "external domain" refers to the area outside the monitoring authority. For example, the "local domain" refers to the front-end cameras under the jurisdiction of the provincial level, while the "external domain" refers to the front-end cameras under the jurisdiction of the cities below that provincial level.

[0062] After determining the front-end cameras in the deployment area, it is necessary to divide and select the front-end cameras. If the front-end cameras are only selected within the local domain or organization, the area division method in Embodiment 1 can be referred to. If the division of front-end cameras in external domains is involved, the front-end cameras in external domains should first be assigned to the local domain or organization, and then the area division method in Embodiment 1 should be referred to to select the front-end cameras.

[0063] After selecting the front-end cameras, configure alarm linkage to automatic layout and rotation for the selected cameras. This configuration action can modify the camera's information based on user input; for example, setting a specific field to 1 indicates that alarm linkage to automatic layout and rotation is configured, while setting it to 0 indicates that alarm linkage to automatic layout and rotation is not configured. This configuration action can be performed on individual front-end cameras or in batches of cameras.

[0064] When the front-end camera detects alarm information in the monitoring screen during video surveillance, it triggers an alarm and reports it.

[0065] Determine whether the reported alarm needs to be processed. If not, do not process it; otherwise, continue to determine whether the front-end camera that generated the alarm is configured with alarm linkage automatic layout and rotation. If not, do not process it; otherwise, continue execution.

[0066] The reported alarm is attributed to the alarm in the selected area, and the front-end camera generating the alarm is grouped according to the alarm name. After grouping, an automatic layout round tour is generated. The live pictures of all front-end cameras in the group are switched according to a preset time interval.

[0067] When the round tour reaches a preset monitoring duration, the round tour is closed and the live picture is released.

[0068] The automatic layout round tour method of the embodiment can effectively realize the detection of behaviors such as fighting in a certain area, such as a campus, or entering a prohibited area in a hospital, and can realize the centralized picture monitoring display of specific areas and specific behaviors.

[0069] Embodiment three

[0070] The embodiment takes campus monitoring as an example to further illustrate the method of the automatic layout round tour of the application.

[0071] 1) Select the campus monitoring points, divide the selected monitoring points into a group, for example, divide the monitoring points in different school districts of the same school into a group.

[0072] 2) Configure personnel gathering (such as regional intrusion, illegal parking, and article relocation) alarm linkage automatic layout round tour for the selected monitoring points.

[0073] 3) When the monitoring points detect regional intrusion, illegal parking, article relocation, and other alarms, the alarms are reported.

[0074] 4) According to different alarm names (such as regional intrusion, illegal parking, and article relocation), automatically start the automatic layout round tour of the monitoring points generating alarms with the same name.

[0075] 5) After the configured monitoring duration, the automatic layout round tour ends and the monitoring is released.

[0076] The embodiment is for different types of personnel gathering alarms in the campus, and different groups of automatic layout round tours are performed according to the alarm names, so that the campus management personnel can quickly locate the required alarm live picture and timely handle the campus personnel gathering problem.
