It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a monitoring system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations requiring monitoring. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The monitoring system provided in this embodiment includes: at least one camera device 101, a signal acquisition unit 102 connected to each camera device 101, and a video monitoring device 103 and a lighting control device 104 connected to the signal acquisition unit 102. The structural composition of the monitoring system in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0034] The camera device 101 is used to acquire video signals and motion detection signals within the corresponding monitoring area, and to send the video signals and motion detection signals to the signal acquisition device 102 connected to it;

[0035] The signal acquisition unit 102 is used to send the video signal received from the camera device 101 to the video monitoring device 103, and generate a lighting control signal corresponding to the target control area based on the video signal and motion detection signal, and transmit the lighting control signal to the lighting control device 104.

[0036] The video monitoring device 103 is used to receive video signals sent by the signal acquisition device 102 and detect whether there are any abnormalities in the video signals;

[0037] The lighting control device 104 is used to receive the lighting control signal sent by the signal collector 102 and control the working status of the lighting equipment in the target control area based on the lighting control signal.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of camera devices can be one or more, and each camera device can correspond to a monitoring area for area monitoring. The size and location of each monitoring area may be different, and some overlapping areas between monitoring areas are also allowed. Each camera device is connected to a signal acquisition device 102. The signal acquisition device 102 can be a device used for signal acquisition, data transmission, and data processing. For example, it can acquire communication signals and network signals between external devices and this device, or receive data signals acquired by external devices, such as video signals and motion detection signals. Motion detection signals can be understood as the physiological signals of movement generated during motion. There can be multiple working modes, such as on, off, always on, periodically on, or adjusting light brightness and color.

[0039] In practical applications, video data can be collected in real time or periodically using a camera device 101 deployed in the area to be monitored. Digital technology can then be used to encode the video pixel information in the video data to form a video signal. Motion detectors (such as passive infrared, microwave, ultrasonic, and gesture detectors) can be used to detect the movement signal of a moving object (as a motion detection signal). These motion detectors can be integrated into the camera device 101. Alternatively, the camera device 101 can have a motion detection function. When a moving object is detected, the camera will follow the moving object, and the camera's offset angle will change. The object's movement signal, i.e., the motion detection signal, can be determined through the camera's movement information. Alternatively, the motion detection signal corresponding to a moving object can be extracted from the video data. For example, the moving target can be extracted from the video image, and its feature information, such as color, shape, and outline, can be obtained. Motion information can then be extracted based on this feature information to form a motion detection signal. Furthermore, the camera device 101 can send the video signal and the motion detection signal to a signal acquisition unit 102 connected to it. The signal acquisition device 102 can be used to send video signals to the video monitoring device 103. After receiving the video signals, the video monitoring device 103 can analyze and process the video signals to determine whether there are any abnormalities in the monitored area, such as whether any abnormal events have occurred (e.g., fire, water leakage, smoke, people falling, etc.), so as to issue timely warnings when abnormalities are found, thus realizing video monitoring. The signal acquisition device 102 can also analyze and process motion detection signals to detect whether there are moving objects in the monitored area. If so, it can send a lighting control signal to the lighting control device 104, enabling the lighting control device 104 to control the switching of the lighting equipment in the monitored area corresponding to the motion detection signal, thus providing timely illumination. After receiving the video signal and motion detection signal, the signal acquisition unit 102 can combine these two pieces of information to determine the moving position of the object. It then compares this moving position with the position information of the lighting control areas belonging to multiple lighting devices managed by the lighting control device 104, identifies the lighting control area matching the moving position as the target control area, generates control signals for the lighting devices within the target control area, and sends these control signals to the lighting control device 104. Upon receiving the lighting control signals, the lighting control device 104 can locate the lighting devices within the target control area based on these signals and then control the operating status of the lighting devices.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a signal acquisition device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The signal acquisition device 102 includes: a video decoder 201, a memory 202 connected to the video decoder 201, a signal receiver 203, a signal processor 204 connected to the memory 202 and the signal receiver 203, and a signal decoder 205 connected to the signal processor 204; wherein,

[0041] The video decoder 201 is used to receive the video signal sent by the camera device 101 and decode the video signal into a digital signal and send it to the memory 202.

[0042] Memory 202 is used to store digital signals and send digital signals to signal processor 204; memory 202 can be a FIFO (First Input First Output) memory 202;

[0043] The signal receiver 203 is used to receive the motion detection signal sent by the camera device 101 and send the motion detection signal to the signal processor 204;

[0044] The signal processor 204 is used to receive digital signals and motion detection signals, determine the target detection position based on the digital signals and motion detection signals, determine the target control area based on the target detection position, generate an adjustment signal corresponding to the target control area, and transmit the adjustment signal to the signal decoder 205.

[0045] The signal decoder 205 is used to decode the adjustment signal into a lighting control signal that can be recognized by the lighting control device 104, and send the lighting control signal to the lighting control device 104.

[0046] In this embodiment, a dual-channel signal transmission method can be adopted. The signal receiver 203 receives the motion detection signal sent by the camera device 101 and then sends it to the signal processor 204. The video decoder 201 receives the video signal sent by the camera device 101 and then uses an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to decode the video into a digital signal, which is then transmitted to the memory 202. The memory 202 buffers the data signal and then transmits the digital signal to the signal processor 204 for data processing. After receiving the digital signal and the motion detection signal, the signal processor 204 can fuse the two signals. If an abnormal location (such as the location of a moving object) is detected, the location can be used to pinpoint the area where the lights need to be turned on as the target control area, and then the control signal is output to the signal decoder 205. The signal decoder 205 is responsible for converting the received control signal into an input signal that the lamp control device can recognize, i.e., a lighting control signal, for lighting control.

[0047] It should be noted that in the process of determining the target detection position based on digital signals and motion detection signals, the position of each of the two signals can be detected separately, and the target detection position can be determined by combining the detected positions, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, the signal processor 204 includes a first position determination unit, a second position determination unit, and a region determination unit; wherein,

[0049] The first position determination unit is used to determine a first moving position based on a digital signal, determine a second moving position based on a motion detection signal, and send the first moving position and the second moving position to the second position determination unit.

[0050] The second position determination unit is used to receive the first moving position and the second moving position sent by the first position determination unit, compare the first moving position and the second moving position, determine the target detection position, and send the target detection position to the area determination unit.

[0051] The region determination unit is used to determine the target control region based on the target detection location and generate an adjustment signal corresponding to the target control region.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the signal processor 204 receives the digital signal and the motion detection signal, it can use the first position determination unit to process the motion detection signal and determine the position of the moving object corresponding to the motion detection signal as the second moving position. Simultaneously, it processes the digital signal to obtain the relative moving position of the moving object within the camera area, which is then used as the first moving position. The first and second moving positions are then sent to the second position determination unit. The second position determination unit can compare and calculate the first and second positions to obtain a video position, which is used as the target detection position. This target detection position is then sent to the area determination unit. The area determination unit determines the area where the lights need to be turned on based on this video position. For example, an area within 5 meters of the video position can be used as the target control area to generate an adjustment signal corresponding to the target control area.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, the system further includes: a first control terminal connected to the signal acquisition unit 102; wherein,

[0054] The first control terminal is used to control the signal acquisition unit 102 to acquire video signals and motion detection signals, and to monitor at least one of the signal acquisition status and signal transmission status of the signal acquisition unit 102.

[0055] In this embodiment, each signal acquisition device 102 hardware can be configured and managed through the first control terminal, and the configuration information can be saved to the acquisition device. At the same time, the real-time status of signal acquisition, transmission and lighting control of each acquisition device can also be monitored.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a signal acquisition device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention; the signal acquisition device 102 further includes: a first network controller 206206 connected to the signal processor 204 and the signal decoder 205; wherein,

[0057] The first network controller 206 is used to receive digital signals and adjustment signals sent by the signal processor 204, so as to send the digital signals to the video monitoring device 103 and transmit the adjustment signals to the signal decoder 205.

[0058] To address the challenges of cabling in large-space applications and to enable data signal communication transmission, a first network controller 206 can be configured. The first network controller 206 uses Ethernet to transmit the adjustment signals sent by the signal processor 204 to the signal decoder 205. Ethernet can also be used to transmit video signals to the video surveillance device 103.

[0059] Based on the above embodiments, see below. Figure 3 The signal decoder 205 includes: a second network controller 207, a signal conversion unit 208, and a signal decoding unit 209; wherein,

[0060] The second network controller 207 is configured to receive the digital signal and the adjustment signal sent by the first network controller 206, and send the digital signal to the signal conversion unit 208 and the adjustment signal to the signal decoding unit 209;

[0061] The signal conversion unit 208 is used to convert the digital signal into an analog signal and send the analog signal to the video monitoring device 103;

[0062] The signal decoding unit 209 is used to decode the adjustment signal into a light control signal that can be recognized by the light control device 104 and send it to the light control device 104.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second network controller 207 receives the digital signal and adjustment signal sent by the first network controller 206, sends the digital signal to the signal conversion unit 208, and sends the adjustment signal to the signal decoding unit 209. The signal conversion unit 208 converts the digital signal into an analog signal recognizable by the video monitoring device 103, and then sends the analog signal to the video monitoring device 103 to achieve video monitoring. The signal decoding unit 209 decodes the adjustment signal into a lighting control signal recognizable by the lighting control device 104, and then sends the lighting control signal to the lighting control device 104 to achieve lighting control.

[0064] Based on the above embodiments, the system further includes a second control terminal connected to the second network controller 207 and the first network controller 206; wherein the second control terminal is used to control the second network controller 207 and the first network controller 206 to receive and transmit signals respectively.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, the system includes: an early warning device connected to the video surveillance device 103; wherein,

[0066] The video surveillance device 103 is used to generate an early warning signal when an anomaly is detected in the area to be monitored, and to send the early warning signal to the early warning device.

[0067] The early warning device is used to provide an early warning when it receives an early warning signal sent by the video surveillance device 103.

[0068] In this embodiment, there are various ways to provide early warnings, such as honking a horn, using lights, or issuing voice announcements.

[0069] Based on the above embodiments, the video surveillance device 103 is connected to the lighting control device 104; wherein,

[0070] The video monitoring device 103 is used to generate a lighting adjustment signal when an anomaly is detected in the area to be monitored, and send the lighting adjustment signal to the lighting control device 104.

[0071] The lighting control device 104 is used to control the working status of lighting equipment in the monitored area where there is an abnormality based on the lighting adjustment signal.

[0072] In this embodiment, the video monitoring device 103 can also be connected to the lighting control device 104. For example, an interface for mutual communication and control between the video monitoring device 103 and the lighting control device 104 can be provided, such as a switch signal, a network signal, or any other communication method capable of transmitting information. When the video monitoring device 103 detects that the lighting conditions have been met based on the video signal (such as the presence of personnel in the monitoring area within a preset time period), it can consider that there is an anomaly in the monitored area to which the video signal belongs. It can then send a lighting adjustment signal to the lighting control device 104, causing the lighting control device 104 to control the switching of the lamps in the monitored area where the anomaly exists.

[0073] Based on the above embodiments, the lighting control device 104 includes: a parameter comparison module; wherein,

[0074] The parameter comparison module is used to determine whether to control the working state of the lighting equipment based on the lighting control parameters corresponding to the lighting equipment in the target control area.

[0075] The lighting control parameters include lighting follow-up adjustment parameters. These parameters may correspond to specific lighting devices; different devices may have the same or different lighting control parameters. For example, some lighting devices may need to remain constantly lit and not change their lighting based on control signals, while others may only turn on when an anomaly is detected and will change their lighting based on control signals.

[0076] In this embodiment, the parameter comparison module can detect the lighting control parameters of the lighting device that needs to be turned on when it receives a control signal. If it needs to be adjusted accordingly, it can control the lighting device to be in the corresponding working state based on the switch adjustment information in the control signal, and control the lighting circuit.

[0077] The technical solution of this embodiment involves: acquiring video signals and motion detection signals corresponding to the area to be monitored using a camera device; transmitting the received video signals from the camera device to a video monitoring device using a signal acquisition unit; generating a lighting control signal corresponding to the target control area based on the video signals and motion detection signals; transmitting the lighting control signal to the lighting control device; receiving the video signals from the signal acquisition unit and analyzing them to determine if any anomalies exist in the area to be monitored; and receiving the lighting control signals from the signal acquisition unit and controlling the operation of the lighting equipment within the target control area based on the lighting control signals. This new technology solves the problem of high monitoring costs caused by the independent operation of each functional module in existing monitoring systems. It enables the simultaneous acquisition of video signals and motion detection signals corresponding to the monitored area by camera devices. Then, the video signals and motion detection signals are processed by a signal acquisition unit. At the same time, the signal acquisition unit transmits the video signals to the video monitoring unit, which generates a lighting control signal corresponding to the target control area. This allows the lighting control unit to control the lighting through the lighting control signal, while the video monitoring unit can detect anomalies through the video signal. This improves the information interaction between functional modules, enhances the monitoring effect, and reduces costs.

[0078] Example 2

[0079] As an optional embodiment of the above embodiments, specific application scenario examples are provided to enable those skilled in the art to further understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, please refer to the following detailed content.

[0080] like Figure 4As shown, area monitoring can be achieved based on a monitoring system, which can consist of cameras, lighting control devices, video surveillance devices, early warning devices, and loop controllers. The cameras act as dual sensors, acquiring image and video data, as well as signals for motion detection and alarm functions, which are then provided to the lighting control devices. The lighting control devices can monitor the movement signals of the camera array in all monitored areas and, through the control logic of the lighting control area, control the lighting loop array to achieve lighting control for the entire building. The video surveillance devices analyze video data to achieve video monitoring functions, while dividing the internal video array into areas and stitching them together according to the lighting control areas. After corresponding the positions with the video areas, data is output. The video surveillance devices and lighting control devices provide interfaces for mutual communication and control, such as switch signals, network signals, or any other communication method that can transmit information. In practical applications, the lighting control devices can receive video position signals from the video surveillance devices, as well as personnel movement signals at those locations, compare them with their own control signals, and control the lighting loops through data mixing logic (such as using logical OR) to prevent abnormal light shutdowns.

[0081] For example, see Figure 5 The camera device acquires video signals and motion detection signals from the camera. By performing video analysis and regional analysis on the video signals, it can determine the position and area of ​​movement of the person in the video. By analyzing the motion detection signals, it can determine the position and area of ​​movement. By performing data logic fusion on these two types of information, it can obtain the position area in the video location where the lights need to be turned on, so as to control the lighting circuit of the lighting equipment in that position area.

[0082] In this embodiment, the monitoring system can consist of multiple distributed video signal and video motion detection signal input devices and video signal output and lighting control signal output devices. For example, in one embodiment, a multi-channel fusion signal acquisition unit can be connected to the back end of the camera device. Each camera device is connected to one acquisition unit. The acquisition unit can transmit the processed lighting control signal to the lighting control device, while simultaneously transmitting the video signal losslessly to the video monitoring device. For instance, the video signal from the camera device can be input into the system through an analog channel, while the basic motion detection signal output node signal of the camera device itself can be synchronously input into the system. A signal buffer can then synchronously transfer the video signal to an external video monitoring device for video monitoring and recording. Specifically, the video signal can be converted into a discrete digital signal by a video decoder ADC, buffered in a FIFO memory, and then processed by a signal processor. The motion detection signal (i.e., motion detection signal) is input to a signal receiver, digitally encoded, and then processed by the signal processor. The signal processor encodes the received digital video signal and motion detection signal, processes the encoded signal to determine the current movement position within the camera device, and simultaneously processes the video signal for secondary motion detection and video analysis to determine the corresponding movement position. The controller compares and calculates the two movement positions to determine the area within the video location where lights need to be turned on. Based on a pre-set correspondence between video and lighting areas, the signal processor outputs data to the signal decoder. The signal decoder converts the received control signal into an input signal that the lighting control device can recognize for lighting control. The signal control terminal can also configure and manage each signal acquisition device, saving the configuration information to the acquisition unit. Simultaneously, it can monitor the real-time status of the video and lighting control of each acquisition device.

[0083] In this embodiment, to address the challenge of wiring in large-space applications, the signal processor can simultaneously encode the output video signal and the analyzed lighting control signal, and then transmit them via Ethernet through the network controller. For example, it receives data from the signal acquisition unit through a network interface, parses the data, and uses a DAC to convert it back into a video signal for use by the video surveillance device. Simultaneously, it converts the data into a signal recognizable by the lighting control device for lighting control purposes.

[0084] The technical solution of this embodiment involves: acquiring video signals and motion detection signals corresponding to the area to be monitored using a camera device; transmitting the received video signals from the camera device to a video monitoring device using a signal acquisition unit; generating a lighting control signal corresponding to the target control area based on the video signals and motion detection signals; transmitting the lighting control signal to the lighting control device; receiving the video signals from the signal acquisition unit and analyzing them to determine if any anomalies exist in the area to be monitored; and receiving the lighting control signals from the signal acquisition unit and controlling the operation of the lighting equipment within the target control area based on the lighting control signals. This new technology solves the problem of high monitoring costs caused by the independent operation of each functional module in existing monitoring systems. It enables the simultaneous acquisition of video signals and motion detection signals corresponding to the monitored area by camera devices. Then, the video signals and motion detection signals are processed by a signal acquisition unit. At the same time, the signal acquisition unit transmits the video signals to the video monitoring unit, which generates a lighting control signal corresponding to the target control area. This allows the lighting control unit to control the lighting through the lighting control signal, while the video monitoring unit can detect anomalies through the video signal. This improves the information interaction between functional modules, enhances the monitoring effect, and reduces costs.
