Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of computer technology, and more specifically to video surveillance information transmission methods, apparatus, electronic devices, and media. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale video surveillance networks, multiple levels of video surveillance platforms are interconnected. Within this network, accessing video stored on a particular video surveillance device from a higher-level platform may require traversing multiple cascaded video surveillance platforms; these traversed platforms constitute the network path. For sending video surveillance information, the typical approach is to obtain the connection relationships between video surveillance devices and platforms, the hierarchical relationships between video surveillance platforms, and the hierarchical relationships between video surveillance devices through an external video surveillance maintenance platform.

[0003] However, the inventors discovered that when using the above method to send video surveillance information, the following technical problems often occur:

[0004] First, the association relationships obtained from external video surveillance operation and maintenance platforms create a tight coupling between the video surveillance platform and the video surveillance operation and maintenance platform, increasing costs. Furthermore, when a request occurs, it is impossible to obtain platform information of the video surveillance platform that has passed through from within the video surveillance platform.

[0005] Secondly, when viewing a lower-level video on a higher-level video surveillance platform, the default path is generally used to obtain the video. When the video cannot be obtained, the location of the error cannot be located, resulting in low efficiency in obtaining video data. This leads to the inability to obtain video data in real time, increasing the accident rate in the area corresponding to the video data.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the inventive concept, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The summary portion of this disclosure is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description portion. This summary portion is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0008] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide video surveillance information transmission methods, apparatuses, electronic devices, and media to address one or more of the technical problems mentioned in the background section above.

[0009] In a first aspect, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for sending video surveillance information, including: sending target platform information of a target-level video surveillance platform to a higher-level video surveillance platform; in response to determining that the sending of the target platform information is complete, receiving multiple lower-level platform information sent by multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms, wherein the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms include: lower-level video surveillance platforms that support path push and lower-level video surveillance platforms that do not support path push; processing the multiple lower-level platform information to obtain multiple processed lower-level platform information; sending the multiple processed lower-level platform information to the higher-level video surveillance platform; receiving multiple device information corresponding to multiple video surveillance devices sent by the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms; processing the multiple device information to obtain multiple processed device information; and sending the multiple processed device information to the higher-level video surveillance platform.

[0010] Secondly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a video surveillance information sending device, comprising: a first sending unit configured to send target platform information of a target-level video surveillance platform to a higher-level video surveillance platform; a first receiving unit configured to receive multiple lower-level platform information sent by multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms in response to determining that the target platform information has been sent, wherein the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms include: lower-level video surveillance platforms that support path push and lower-level video surveillance platforms that do not support path push; a first processing unit configured to process the multiple lower-level platform information to obtain multiple processed lower-level platform information; a second sending unit configured to send the multiple processed lower-level platform information to the higher-level video surveillance platform; a second receiving unit configured to receive multiple device information corresponding to multiple video surveillance devices sent by the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms; a second processing unit configured to process the multiple device information to obtain multiple processed device information; and a third sending unit configured to send the multiple processed device information to the higher-level video surveillance platform.

[0011] Thirdly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide an electronic device, including: one or more processors; and a storage device having one or more programs stored thereon, such that when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the method as described in any implementation of the first aspect.

[0012] Fourthly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements the method as described in any implementation of the first aspect.

[0013] The various embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: The video surveillance information sending method of some embodiments of this disclosure allows managers to view the connection relationships between video surveillance platforms, between video surveillance devices, and between video surveillance platforms and video surveillance devices on the upper-level video surveillance platform. When errors occur in video acquisition, the connection can be quickly located, thereby improving the user experience. Specifically, the reason for the tight coupling between related video surveillance platforms and video surveillance operation and maintenance platforms, increasing costs, is that the association relationships obtained from external video surveillance operation and maintenance platforms create tight coupling between video surveillance platforms, increasing costs. Furthermore, when a request occurs, it is impossible to obtain platform information of the passing video surveillance platforms from within the video surveillance platform. Based on this, the video surveillance information sending method of some embodiments of this disclosure can first send the target platform information of the target-level video surveillance platform to the upper-level video surveillance platform. Second, in response to determining that the above target platform information has been sent, multiple lower-level platform information sent by multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms is received. These multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms include: lower-level video surveillance platforms that support path push and lower-level video surveillance platforms that do not support path push. Next, the information from the multiple lower-level platforms is processed to obtain multiple processed lower-level platform information. Then, this processed lower-level platform information is sent to the higher-level video surveillance platform. Sending this processed lower-level platform information to the higher-level platform allows administrators to view the information from multiple lower-level platforms on the higher-level platform, facilitating the determination of connections between video surveillance platforms. Subsequently, multiple device information corresponding to multiple video surveillance devices is received from the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms. This device information is then processed to obtain multiple processed device information. Finally, this processed device information is sent to the higher-level video surveillance platform. Sending this device information to the higher-level platform allows administrators to view the transmission paths of the device information to the higher-level platform, facilitating the determination of connections between video surveillance devices and between video surveillance devices and the video surveillance platform. Therefore, by sending information from lower-level platforms, target platforms, and devices to the aforementioned higher-level video surveillance platform, administrators can view the transmission paths of platform and device information to the higher-level platform. This video surveillance information transmission method allows administrators to view the connection relationships between video surveillance platforms, between video surveillance devices, and between video surveillance platforms and video surveillance devices on the higher-level platform. It also enables rapid location of errors when acquiring video, thereby improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0024] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Figure 1 A flow 100 of some embodiments of a video surveillance information transmission method according to the present disclosure is shown. The video surveillance information transmission method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step 101: Send the target platform information of the target-level video surveillance platform to the superior video surveillance platform.

[0027] In some embodiments, the executing entity of the above-described video surveillance information sending method can send target platform information of the target-level video surveillance platform to the superior video surveillance platform. The target-level video surveillance platform can be a platform for forwarding and receiving video surveillance data. The target-level video surveillance platform can include at least one of the following: a target signaling server, a target streaming media server, a target video surveillance device, and a target video playback terminal. The target signaling server can be a server that receives and forwards control commands from the target-level video surveillance platform, provides registration and routing selection to clients and gateways. The control commands can include registration commands, real-time monitoring video playback commands, and alarm event notification commands. The target streaming media server can be a server for receiving and forwarding monitoring video data and sending monitoring videos to subordinate and superior video surveillance platforms. The superior video surveillance platform can be a video surveillance platform located one level above the target-level video surveillance platform, capable of forwarding and receiving video surveillance data. The superior video surveillance platform can include at least one of the following: a superior signaling server, a superior streaming media server, a superior video surveillance device, and a superior video playback terminal. The aforementioned superior signaling server can be a server that receives and forwards control commands from the superior video surveillance platform, and provides registration and routing options to clients and gateways. The aforementioned target platform information can be information representing the target video surveillance platform sent by the aforementioned target-level video surveillance platform. The aforementioned target platform information can be a target platform number. The target platform information does not include a parent platform number field for the target-level video surveillance platform. The aforementioned parent platform number field can be the number of the superior video surveillance platform of the target-level video surveillance platform.

[0028] Step 102: In response to the completion of the target platform information transmission, receive multiple lower-level platform information sent by multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms.

[0029] In some embodiments, the execution entity may, in response to determining that the target platform information has been sent, receive information from multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms. The lower-level video surveillance platforms may be those located one level below the target-level video surveillance platform, capable of forwarding and receiving video surveillance data. Each lower-level video surveillance platform may include at least one of the following: a lower-level signaling server, a lower-level streaming media server, a lower-level video surveillance device, and a lower-level video playback terminal. The lower-level signaling server may be a server that receives and forwards control commands from the lower-level video surveillance platform, provides registration to clients and gateways, and performs routing selection. The lower-level platform information may be information representing the lower-level video surveillance platform sent by the lower-level video surveillance platform. The lower-level platform information may include a lower-level platform number and a parent platform number field included in the lower-level platform information. The multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms include lower-level video surveillance platforms that support path push and lower-level video surveillance platforms that do not support path push. The aforementioned lower-level video surveillance platforms that support path push can be those that add multiple parent platform numbers to the parent platform field in the lower-level video surveillance platform information, add multiple platform numbers to the parent platform number field in the video surveillance device information, and add a routing path field and a preferred routing path field in the video response request signaling. The aforementioned lower-level video surveillance platforms that do not support path push can be those that include only one parent platform field in the parent platform field of the lower-level video surveillance platform information, do not include a parent platform number field in the video surveillance device information, and do not add a routing path field and a preferred routing path field in the video response request signaling.

[0030] Step 103: Process the information from multiple lower-level platforms to obtain multiple processed information from lower-level platforms.

[0031] In some embodiments, the executing entity can process the aforementioned plurality of lower-level platform information to obtain a plurality of processed lower-level platform information. The plurality of processed lower-level platform information can be multiple lower-level platform information obtained by processing the aforementioned plurality of lower-level platform information. For example, the plurality of first lower-level platform information may include: lower-level platform information sent by a lower-level video surveillance platform that supports path push and lower-level platform information sent by a lower-level video surveillance platform that does not support path push.

[0032] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-described processing of the plurality of lower-level platform information to obtain a plurality of processed lower-level platform information may include the following steps:

[0033] In response to the determination that there is a subordinate platform information among the above multiple subordinate platform information that does not include the parent platform number field, the target platform number in the above target platform information is added to the parent platform number field in the subordinate platform information.

[0034] As an example, Figure 2 This diagram illustrates how, in response to the determination that there exists lower-level platform information among the aforementioned multiple lower-level platform information that does not include a parent platform number field, the target platform number from the target platform information is added to the parent platform number field of the lower-level platform information. The target-level video surveillance platform can be a city-level shared video surveillance platform, with platform number D. The higher-level video surveillance platform can be a province-level shared video surveillance platform, with platform number B. The lower-level video surveillance platform can be a district-level shared video surveillance platform, with platform number F. When D sends lower-level platform information of F to B, if the lower-level platform information does not include the parent platform number field of F, the executing entity can add D to the parent platform number field of F's lower-level platform information, i.e., ParentID = D.

[0035] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-described processing of the plurality of lower-level platform information to obtain a plurality of processed lower-level platform information includes:

[0036] In response to the determination that the aforementioned subset of subordinate platform information includes a target subordinate platform information subset, and that the multiple first parent platform number fields included in the target subordinate platform information subset are different, the multiple first parent platform number fields are merged to obtain a merged target subordinate platform information subset. The target subordinate platform information subset comprises multiple subordinate platform information sets that share the same subordinate platform number corresponding to the subordinate video surveillance platform. For example, the target subordinate platform information subset may include subordinate platform information sent by F and subordinate platform information sent by E. The first parent platform number field may be the platform number of the parent video surveillance platform of the subordinate video surveillance platform.

[0037] As an example, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of merging the multiple first parent platform number fields in response to the determination that the aforementioned multiple lower-level platform information includes a subset of target lower-level platform information, and that the multiple first parent platform number fields included in the target lower-level platform information subset are different, to obtain a merged subset of target lower-level platform information. The aforementioned multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms may include: a district-wide shared video surveillance platform and a municipal public security video surveillance platform. The platform number of the district-wide shared video surveillance platform is F. The platform number of the municipal public security video surveillance platform may be E. F may be a video surveillance platform that supports path push. E may be a video surveillance platform that does not support path push. The aforementioned executing entity may first receive the lower-level platform information sent by F, which includes the lower-level platform information corresponding to the lower-level video surveillance platform of F. Here, the lower-level video surveillance platform of F may be the district public security video surveillance platform. The platform number of the district public security video surveillance platform may be G. The lower-level platform information corresponding to the lower-level video surveillance platform of F may include: lower-level platform number G and the parent platform number field ParentID = F. Then, it receives the lower-level platform information sent by E, which includes the lower-level platform information of the lower-level video surveillance platform of E. The lower-level platform information of E's lower-level video surveillance platform can include: lower-level platform number G and the parent platform number field ParentID = E. Finally, the lower-level platform information sent by F and E is merged to obtain a merged subset of target lower-level platform information. This merged subset can include: D's platform number, E's platform number and the parent platform number field ParentID = D, F's platform number and the parent platform number field ParentID = D, and G's platform number and the parent platform number field ParentID = E / F.

[0038] Step 104: Send the processed information from multiple lower-level platforms to the upper-level video surveillance platform.

[0039] In some embodiments, the aforementioned executing entity may send the processed information from the lower-level platforms to the aforementioned upper-level video surveillance platform.

[0040] Step 105: Receive multiple device information corresponding to multiple video surveillance devices sent by multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms.

[0041] In some embodiments, the aforementioned executing entity may receive multiple device information corresponding to multiple video surveillance devices sent by the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms. The video surveillance devices among the multiple video surveillance devices may be devices storing surveillance video. For example, a video surveillance device may be a camera. The aforementioned device information may include at least one of the following: a device number and a parent platform number field. The parent platform number field of the device may be the platform number of the video surveillance platform to which the video surveillance device belongs.

[0042] Step 106: Process the information of multiple devices to obtain multiple processed device information.

[0043] In some embodiments, the execution entity can process the multiple device information to obtain multiple processed device information. The processed device information may be obtained by merging the existing device information. For example, the processed device information may include: the device number M of the video surveillance device and the parent platform number field ParentID = G / E of the video surveillance device.

[0044] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-described processing of the plurality of device information to obtain a plurality of processed device information may include the following steps:

[0045] First, in response to determining that some of the aforementioned device information does not include a parent platform number field, the executing entity may add the parent platform number field, which is included in the parent device information corresponding to the parent video surveillance device, to the parent platform number field in the aforementioned device information. Here, the parent video surveillance device is the superior video surveillance device of the aforementioned video surveillance device. For example, if the device information corresponding to a video surveillance device does not include the number of the video surveillance platform to which the video surveillance device belongs, the executing entity may add the platform number of the video surveillance platform to which the superior video surveillance device belongs from the device information corresponding to the superior video surveillance device to the parent platform number field in the device information corresponding to the aforementioned video surveillance device.

[0046] In the second step, the aforementioned executing entity may, in response to determining that there is device information among the aforementioned multiple device information that does not include the parent platform number field, and that the aforementioned parent device information does not include the corresponding parent platform number field, add the target platform number from the aforementioned target platform information to the parent platform number field in the device information.

[0047] As an example, the aforementioned executing entity may add the target platform number to the parent platform number field in the aforementioned device information if the device information corresponding to the video surveillance device does not include the number of the video surveillance platform to which the video surveillance device belongs, or if the platform number of the video surveillance platform to which the superior device does not include the platform number of the superior device.

[0048] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-mentioned processing of the plurality of device information to obtain a plurality of processed device information includes:

[0049] In response to the determination that the aforementioned multiple device information includes a subset of target device information, and that the multiple second parent platform number fields included in the subset of target device information are different, the multiple second parent platform number fields are merged to obtain a merged subset of target device information. This subset of target device information includes multiple device information items with the same device number corresponding to the video surveillance devices. For example, the subset of target device information may include: device information sent by a lower-level video surveillance platform that supports path push, and device information sent by a lower-level video surveillance platform that does not support path push. The second parent platform number field may be the platform number of the aforementioned video surveillance device or the aforementioned video surveillance platform.

[0050] As an example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of merging multiple second parent platform number fields in response to the determination that the aforementioned multiple device information includes a subset of target device information, and that the subset of target device information contains multiple identical second parent platform number fields, to obtain a merged subset of target device information. The device number of the aforementioned video surveillance device can be M. The executing entity can first receive device information sent by F. The device information sent by F can include: the device number M of the video surveillance device and the platform number G of the video surveillance platform to which the video surveillance device belongs. Then, it receives device information sent by E. The device information sent by E can include: the device number M of the video surveillance device and the platform number E of the video surveillance platform to which the video surveillance device belongs. Finally, the device information sent by F and the device information sent by E are merged to obtain a merged subset of target device information. The merged subset of target device information can include: the device number M, and the parent platform number field ParentID = F / G in the device information.

[0051] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-described processing of the plurality of device information to obtain a plurality of processed device information may include the following steps:

[0052] In the first step, the aforementioned executing entity may add a virtual video surveillance platform in response to determining that among the multiple device information items there is device information including a third parent platform number field, and not having received the processed lower-level platform information corresponding to the third parent platform number field. The third parent platform number field can be the platform number of the video surveillance platform to which the aforementioned video surveillance device belongs.

[0053] As an example, Figure 2This diagram illustrates the addition of a virtual video surveillance platform in response to the determination that among the aforementioned multiple device information entries, there is device information including a third parent platform number field, and no processed lower-level platform information corresponding to the third parent platform number field has been received. The executing entity can receive device information sent by E. This device information sent by E may include: device number M and the platform number G to which the video surveillance device belongs. Then, it receives lower-level platform information sent by F. This lower-level platform information sent by F does not include the platform information of the lower-level video surveillance platform G. Finally, a virtual video surveillance platform is added.

[0054] The second step involves the executing entity identifying the target platform number from the target platform information as both the parent platform number field and the platform number of the virtual video surveillance platform. For example, the platform number of the virtual video surveillance platform could be G, and the corresponding parent platform number field could be ParentID = G.

[0055] Third, the aforementioned executing entity may, in response to determining that among the aforementioned multiple device information there is device information corresponding to the third parent platform number field, and receiving the aforementioned processed lower-level platform information, merge the parent platform number field corresponding to the aforementioned processed lower-level platform information and the parent platform number field corresponding to the aforementioned virtual video surveillance platform, and delete the aforementioned virtual video surveillance platform.

[0056] As an example, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of merging the parent platform number field corresponding to the processed lower-level platform information and the parent platform number field corresponding to the virtual video surveillance platform, in response to determining that the aforementioned multiple device information includes device information corresponding to the third parent platform number field, and receiving the processed lower-level platform information. The execution entity can first receive device information sent by the video surveillance platform corresponding to the parent platform number field. This device information can be device number M and the third parent platform number field ParentID = G. Secondly, it receives the processed lower-level platform information. This processed lower-level platform information can be lower-level platform information sent by F. The processed lower-level platform information sent by F can include platform number G and the parent platform number field ParentID = F. Finally, it merges the parent platform number field corresponding to the processed lower-level platform information sent by F and the parent platform number field corresponding to the virtual video surveillance platform to obtain a merged parent platform number field. This merged parent platform number field can be ParentID = G / F. And delete the parent platform number field corresponding to the aforementioned virtual video surveillance platform to obtain the deleted parent platform number field. The deleted parent platform number field can be ParentID = F.

[0057] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-described processing of the plurality of device information to obtain a plurality of processed device information may include the following steps:

[0058] In response to the determination that, among the multiple device information messages sent, only the device number and parent platform number fields are the same, while other fields differ, the device information sent by the lower-level video surveillance platform with the higher priority is determined as the device information of the aforementioned video surveillance device based on a pre-set priority. The other fields may include the location information of the video surveillance device. The pre-set priority may be that the lower-level video surveillance platform that does not support path push has a higher priority than the lower-level video surveillance platform that does support path push. As an example, the executing entity may first receive device information sent by E. This device information sent by E may include: device number M, parent platform number field ParentID = G, and the location information of M (39°57'52.84, 116°17'52.84). Then, it may receive device information sent by F. This device information sent by F may include: device number M, parent platform number field ParentID = G, and the location information of M (41°57'52.84, 120°17'52.84). Finally, based on the priority, the device information sent by E is determined as the device information of the aforementioned video surveillance device.

[0059] Step 107: Send the processed device information to the upper-level video surveillance platform.

[0060] In some embodiments, the aforementioned executing entity may send the aforementioned processed device information to the aforementioned superior video surveillance platform.

[0061] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the aforementioned execution entity may further perform the following steps:

[0062] First, in response to confirming receipt of the video session request signaling sent by the superior video surveillance platform, the aforementioned executing entity may forward the video session request signaling to the aforementioned multiple subordinate video surveillance platforms. The aforementioned first video session request signaling may be a signaling from the superior video surveillance platform requesting the establishment of a video connection.

[0063] The second step involves the aforementioned executing entity receiving multiple response messages from the various lower-level video surveillance platforms. These response messages include: the lower-level platform number corresponding to the lower-level video surveillance platform and the device number corresponding to the video surveillance equipment.

[0064] Third, the aforementioned executing entity may, in response to the determination that there is a response message among the multiple response messages that does not include a routing path field, add the aforementioned response message to obtain the added response message, so that the management personnel can view the path information to the superior video surveillance platform.

[0065] As an example, the aforementioned executing entity may, in response to determining that the aforementioned response information does not include a routing path field, add the aforementioned target platform number and the aforementioned subordinate platform number of the subordinate video surveillance platform to the routing path field in the response information, thereby obtaining the added response information so that managers can view the path information to the superior video surveillance platform.

[0066] Fourth, the aforementioned implementing entity can send the added response information to the aforementioned superior video surveillance platform.

[0067] Optionally, in response to the determination that one of the above response messages includes a routing path field, the target platform number is added to the routing path field of the response message so that administrators can view the path information to the superior video surveillance platform. Specifically, the target platform number is added to the very beginning of the routing path field in the response message, separated from the previous platform number by a "-".

[0068] Optionally, the aforementioned implementing entity may also perform the following steps:

[0069] The first step involves determining that a designated video session request has been received from the aforementioned superior video surveillance platform, and deleting the target platform number from the preferred path field to obtain a first designated video session request. This designated video session request can be a request from the superior video surveillance platform specifying the platform number through which video is accessed, and includes a preferred path field. The preferred path field can represent the platform number through which the superior video surveillance platform accesses the video. The first designated video session request can be the request obtained after deleting the target platform number from the preferred path field included in the designated video session request.

[0070] As an example, the aforementioned executing entity may first receive a designated video session request sent by the superior video surveillance platform. This designated video session request may be a DEGM. Then, the target platform number is removed from the designated video session request to obtain a first designated video session request. This first designated video session request may be an EGM.

[0071] The second step is to send the aforementioned first designated video session request to the designated lower-level video surveillance platform. This designated lower-level video surveillance platform can be the lower-level video surveillance platform corresponding to the platform number in the preferred path field.

[0072] As an example, the aforementioned executing entity may first receive a designated video session request sent by the superior video surveillance platform. This designated video session request may be a DEGM. Then, it processes the video session request to obtain a first designated video session request. This first designated video session request may be an EGM. Finally, it sends the first designated video session request to a designated subordinate video surveillance platform. The platform number of this designated subordinate video surveillance platform may be E.

[0073] Third, in response to determining that the specified lower-level video surveillance platform is not a lower-level video surveillance platform of the target level, the first specified video session request is sent to the default lower-level video surveillance platform. The default lower-level video surveillance platform can be a lower-level video surveillance platform determined according to priority.

[0074] As an example, the aforementioned executing entity can first receive a designated video session request sent by the superior video surveillance platform. This designated video session request can be a DHGM (Hyper-Video-Mechanical Request). Then, it processes the video session request to obtain a first designated video session request. This first designated video session request can be an HGM. Finally, it sends this first designated video session request to a designated subordinate video surveillance platform. However, if no subordinate video surveillance platform with the number H is found during the search, the first designated video session request is sent to a default subordinate video surveillance platform. This default subordinate video surveillance platform can be the subordinate video surveillance platform with the number E.

[0075] Fourth, in response to determining that the specified video session request does not include the preferred path field, the specified video session request is sent to the default lower-level video surveillance platform.

[0076] The aforementioned content, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves the second technical problem mentioned in the background: "When viewing a lower-level video on a higher-level video surveillance platform, a default path is generally used to obtain the video. When the video cannot be obtained, the location of the error cannot be located, resulting in low efficiency in obtaining video data, which in turn leads to the inability to obtain video data in real time and increases the accident rate in the area corresponding to the video data." Factors leading to low efficiency in obtaining video data are often as follows: When viewing a lower-level video on a higher-level video surveillance platform, a default path is generally used to obtain the video. When the video data cannot be obtained, the location of the error cannot be located. If these factors are resolved, all path information for the requested video can be viewed on the higher-level video surveillance platform, and one path can be specified to obtain video data, improving the efficiency of obtaining video data and enabling real-time monitoring of the area corresponding to the video, thus reducing the occurrence of accidents. To achieve this effect, this disclosure firstly, in response to determining that a specified video session request sent by the higher-level video surveillance platform has been received, and deleting the target platform number from the preferred path field, obtains a first specified video session request. Secondly, the first specified video session request is sent to the specified lower-level video surveillance platform. Here, specifying the video surveillance platform to be used when acquiring video data improves the efficiency of video data acquisition and allows for the identification of the erroneous video surveillance platform when video data acquisition fails. Then, in response to determining that the specified lower-level video surveillance platform is not a lower-level platform of the target level video surveillance platform, the first specified video session request is sent to the default lower-level video surveillance platform. Here, specifying the video surveillance platform to be used and defaulting to acquiring video data according to the priority of the video surveillance platform improves the efficiency of video acquisition. Finally, in response to determining that the specified video session request does not include the preferred path field, the specified video session request is sent to the default lower-level video surveillance platform. Therefore, by extending the specified path field in the video session request, video data can be acquired by specifying the video surveillance platform to be used, improving the efficiency of video data acquisition, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of the area corresponding to the video and reducing the occurrence of accidents. When video acquisition fails, the erroneous video surveillance platform can be identified.

[0077] The various embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: The video surveillance information sending method of some embodiments of this disclosure allows managers to view the connection relationships between video surveillance platforms, between video surveillance devices, and between video surveillance platforms and video surveillance devices on the upper-level video surveillance platform. When errors occur in video acquisition, the connection can be quickly located, thereby improving the user experience. Specifically, the reason for the tight coupling between related video surveillance platforms and video surveillance operation and maintenance platforms, increasing costs, is that the association relationships obtained from external video surveillance operation and maintenance platforms create tight coupling between video surveillance platforms, increasing costs. Furthermore, when a request occurs, it is impossible to obtain platform information of the passing video surveillance platforms from within the video surveillance platform. Based on this, the video surveillance information sending method of some embodiments of this disclosure can first send the target platform information of the target-level video surveillance platform to the upper-level video surveillance platform. Second, in response to determining that the above target platform information has been sent, multiple lower-level platform information sent by multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms is received. These multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms include: lower-level video surveillance platforms that support path push and lower-level video surveillance platforms that do not support path push. Next, the information from the multiple lower-level platforms is processed to obtain multiple processed lower-level platform information. Then, this processed lower-level platform information is sent to the higher-level video surveillance platform. Sending this processed lower-level platform information to the higher-level platform allows administrators to view the information from multiple lower-level platforms on the higher-level platform, facilitating the determination of connections between video surveillance platforms. Subsequently, multiple device information corresponding to multiple video surveillance devices is received from the multiple lower-level video surveillance platforms. This device information is then processed to obtain multiple processed device information. Finally, this processed device information is sent to the higher-level video surveillance platform. Sending this device information to the higher-level platform allows administrators to view the transmission paths of the device information to the higher-level platform, facilitating the determination of connections between video surveillance devices and between video surveillance devices and the video surveillance platform. Therefore, by sending information from lower-level platforms, target platforms, and devices to the aforementioned higher-level video surveillance platform, administrators can view the transmission paths of platform and device information to the higher-level platform. This video surveillance information transmission method allows administrators to view the connection relationships between video surveillance platforms, between video surveillance devices, and between video surveillance platforms and video surveillance devices on the higher-level platform. It also enables rapid location of errors when acquiring video, thereby improving the user experience.
