[0029] Appendix Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the video surveillance sharing device provided in the embodiments of this application, applied to a camera. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a system and apparatus for sharing video surveillance. The following is a detailed description of a video surveillance sharing system provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 The system includes a shooting unit 104, communication units 102 and 103, a display unit 101, a video control unit 107, a parameter association unit 105, and a user association unit 106.

[0034] The display unit 101 and the communication unit 102 belong to the user front end, while the shooting unit 104, the parameter association unit 105, the user association unit 106, and the video control unit 107 belong to the service back end. The user front end and the service back end are connected through the communication units 102 and 103, and the communication connection is an Internet network communication connection.

[0035] In one implementation, all functional units of the service backend are deployed on the same physical device and directly connected via an internal bus or high-speed interface to achieve efficient data transmission.

[0036] In another implementation, some functional units of the service backend are distributed across multiple physical devices and communicate via network protocols such as TCP / IP to improve the system's scalability and fault tolerance.

[0037] In addition, the connection method between service backend functional units can be dynamically adjusted according to system load, network environment or business needs.

[0038] Parameter association unit 105: used to obtain shooting unit parameters and associate them with preset plots of land, wherein the parameters are the parameters that affect the shooting unit monitoring screen when the preset plot of land can be displayed in the shooting unit monitoring screen;

[0039] After the camera unit is installed, by controlling the mechanical devices inside the camera unit, such as the PTZ camera, the camera can be rotated left and right, up and down, affecting the monitoring coverage area of ​​the camera unit. At the same time, the variable focal length camera unit can also control the size of the focal length, the width of the viewing angle and the monitoring coverage at different distances, affecting the monitoring image of the camera unit.

[0040] In one scenario, the monitoring image of the camera unit can also be affected by adjusting the mechanical device outside the camera unit. For example, the camera unit can be installed on a controllable rotating and moving base. In this case, the parameters associated with the preset plot can also include a description of the position of the mechanical device outside the camera unit.

[0041] As one embodiment, the shooting unit has a mechanical device that allows for vertical and horizontal rotation, as well as an adjustable focal length. By adjusting the focal length, a preset plot of land is displayed on the monitoring screen. The position description of the shooting unit and its focal length are then obtained and associated with the preset plot. The position description can be the vertical or horizontal rotation position of the mechanical device relative to its internal reference position. The rotation position can be an angle of vertical or horizontal rotation, or a scale value rotated by the rotation axis; there are no limitations on this. The position description can also be the coordinate position of the current monitoring screen within the entire monitoring range of the camera; there are no limitations on this. The reference position can be the initial position when the shooting unit starts, ensuring that the camera returns to the same initial position each time it starts. Alternatively, the leftmost or topmost position that the shooting unit can rotate to can be used as the reference position, or other positions can be selected; there are no limitations on this.

[0042] As one embodiment, to facilitate users in quickly locating and viewing the surveillance video of the preset plot, the monitoring range covered by the shooting unit is adjusted by controlling the up and down, left and right rotation and the focal length, so that the plot is completely displayed in the monitoring screen. When the horizontal width of the preset plot in the monitoring screen is within 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the entire monitoring screen, or the vertical height is within 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the entire monitoring screen, the position description or position description and focal length of the shooting unit are obtained and associated with the preset plot.

[0043] User association unit 106: used to associate a preset land parcel with a user.

[0044] For example, when a user claims a preset plot of land, a corresponding relationship is established between the preset plot of land and the user. For example, the plot identifier is associated with the customer identifier, which can be an account, nickname, or mobile phone number, etc. There are no restrictions here.

[0045] Once a user associates with the preset plot of land, when the user views the video surveillance footage of that plot, the video control unit 107 controls the parameters of the shooting unit to match those of the shooting unit associated with the preset plot, using the association information from the parameter association module. For example, the internal position parameters and focal length of the shooting unit are set to the parameters of the shooting unit associated with the preset plot. The user can then view the surveillance video of the preset plot through the display unit on their front end.

[0046] To facilitate clear definition of the boundaries of preset plots by users, as one embodiment, the parameter association unit is also used to associate the position parameters of the preset plots in the monitoring screen with the preset plots. These position parameters can be represented by the pixel coordinates of each vertex of the preset plot in the monitoring screen from the upper left corner of the monitoring screen. In implementation, the position parameters of the plots correspond to the associated camera unit parameters. When the associated camera unit parameters change, the position parameters of the preset plots also need to be changed. In actual operation, while maintaining the associated camera unit parameters of the preset plots, the camera unit marks each vertex of the preset plots in the background; alternatively, the boundary lines of the preset plots can be marked by drawing lines. After associating the position parameters of the preset plots, when users view the associated preset plots, the display unit can also display the boundaries of the preset plots, making it convenient for users to identify and define them.

[0047] By applying this embodiment of the invention, the parameters of the shooting unit are obtained through a parameter association unit and associated with preset plots of land. Each preset plot of land is then associated with each user who has claimed it. This allows each user to view the monitoring video of the associated preset plot, thus displaying a dedicated monitoring screen for that specific plot. Therefore, in this solution, a single shooting unit can display a dedicated monitoring screen for the plot associated with each user, effectively reducing monitoring costs.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a video surveillance sharing device, the device comprising:

[0049] Parameter association module 201: used to obtain shooting unit parameters and associate them with preset plots of land, wherein the parameters are the parameters that affect the shooting unit monitoring screen when the preset plot of land can be displayed in the shooting unit monitoring screen;

[0050] After the camera unit is installed, by controlling the mechanical devices inside the camera unit, such as the PTZ camera, the camera can be rotated left and right, up and down, affecting the monitoring coverage area of ​​the camera unit. At the same time, the variable focal length camera unit can also control the size of the focal length, the width of the viewing angle and the monitoring coverage at different distances, affecting the monitoring image of the camera unit.

[0051] In one scenario, the monitoring image of the camera unit can also be affected by adjusting the mechanical device outside the camera unit. For example, the camera unit can be installed on a controllable rotating and moving base. In this case, the parameters associated with the preset plot can also include a description of the position of the mechanical device outside the camera unit.

[0052] As one embodiment, the shooting unit has a mechanical device that allows for vertical and horizontal rotation, as well as an adjustable focal length. By adjusting the focal length, a preset plot of land is displayed on the monitoring screen. The position description of the shooting unit and its focal length are then obtained and associated with the preset plot. The position description can be the vertical or horizontal rotation position of the mechanical device relative to its internal reference position. The rotation position can be an angle of vertical or horizontal rotation, or a scale value rotated by the rotation axis; there are no limitations on this. The position description can also be the coordinate position of the current monitoring screen within the entire monitoring range of the camera; there are no limitations on this. The reference position can be the initial position when the shooting unit starts, ensuring that the camera returns to the same initial position each time it starts. Alternatively, the leftmost or topmost position that the shooting unit can rotate to can be used as the reference position, or other positions can be selected; there are no limitations on this.

[0053] As one embodiment, to facilitate users in quickly locating and viewing the surveillance video of the preset plot, the monitoring range covered by the shooting unit is adjusted by controlling the up and down, left and right rotation and the focal length, so that the plot is completely displayed in the monitoring screen. When the horizontal width of the preset plot in the monitoring screen is within 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the entire monitoring screen, or the vertical height is within 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the entire monitoring screen, the position description or position description and focal length of the shooting unit are obtained and associated with the preset plot.

[0054] User association module 202: Used to associate preset land parcels with users.

[0055] For example, when a user claims a preset plot of land, a corresponding relationship is established between the preset plot of land and the user. For example, the plot identifier is associated with the customer identifier, which can be an account, nickname, or mobile phone number, etc. There are no restrictions here.

[0056] Once a user is associated with a preset plot of land, when the user views the video surveillance footage of that plot, the parameters of the shooting unit are controlled by the association information in the parameter association module to match the parameters of the shooting unit associated with the preset plot. For example, the internal position parameters and focal length of the shooting unit are set to the parameters of the shooting unit associated with the preset plot. The user can then view the surveillance video of the preset plot associated with the user through the display unit on the user's front end.

[0057] To facilitate clear definition of the boundaries of preset plots by users, as one embodiment, the parameter association module is also used to associate the position parameters of the preset plots in the monitoring screen with the preset plots. These position parameters can be represented by the pixel coordinates of each vertex of the preset plot in the monitoring screen from the upper left corner of the monitoring screen. In implementation, the position parameters of the plots correspond to the associated camera unit parameters. When the associated camera unit parameters change, the position parameters of the preset plots also need to be changed. In actual operation, while maintaining the associated camera unit parameters of the preset plots, the camera unit marks each vertex of the preset plots in the background; alternatively, the boundary lines of the preset plots can be marked by drawing lines. After associating the position parameters of the preset plots, when users view the associated preset plots, the display unit can also display the boundaries of the preset plots, making it convenient for users to identify and define them.

[0058] The device can be a standalone device, or it can be applied to a server or camera. Alternatively, the parameter association module of the device can be deployed in the camera, and the user association module can be deployed in the server, and then they can work together. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0059] By applying this embodiment of the invention, the parameters of the shooting unit are obtained through the parameter association module and associated with preset plots of land. Each preset plot of land is then associated with each user who has claimed it. This allows each user to view the monitoring video of the associated preset plot, thus displaying a dedicated monitoring screen for that specific plot. Therefore, in this solution, a single shooting unit can display a dedicated monitoring screen for the plot associated with each user, effectively reducing monitoring costs.

[0060] This invention also provides a video surveillance sharing device, applied to cameras, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0061] Parameter association module 301: used to obtain shooting unit parameters and associate them with preset plots of land. The parameters are the position description or position description and focal length of the shooting unit when the preset plot of land can be displayed in the monitoring screen of the shooting unit.

[0062] As one embodiment, the shooting unit has a mechanical device that allows for vertical and horizontal rotation, as well as an adjustable focal length. By adjusting the focal length, a preset plot of land is displayed on the monitoring screen. The position description of the shooting unit and its focal length are then obtained and associated with the preset plot. The position description can be the vertical or horizontal rotation position of the mechanical device relative to its internal reference position. The rotation position can be an angle of vertical or horizontal rotation, or a scale value rotated by the rotation axis; there are no limitations on this. The position description can also be the coordinate position of the current monitoring screen within the entire monitoring range of the camera; there are no limitations on this. The reference position can be the initial position when the shooting unit starts, ensuring that the camera returns to the same initial position each time it starts. Alternatively, the leftmost or topmost position that the shooting unit can rotate to can be used as the reference position, or other positions can be selected; there are no limitations on this.

[0063] As one embodiment, to facilitate users in quickly locating and viewing the surveillance video of the preset plot, the monitoring range covered by the shooting unit is adjusted by controlling the up and down, left and right rotation and the focal length, so that the plot is completely displayed in the monitoring screen. When the horizontal width of the preset plot in the monitoring screen is within 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the entire monitoring screen, or the vertical height is within 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the entire monitoring screen, the position description or position description and focal length of the shooting unit are obtained and associated with the preset plot.

[0064] When a user claims a preset plot of land and associates it with that plot, when the user views the video surveillance footage of that associated plot, the camera receives the information about the associated plot and, through the association information in the parameter association module, controls the camera's parameters to match the parameters of the shooting unit associated with the preset plot. For example, the camera's internal position parameters and focal length are set to the parameters of the camera associated with the preset plot. The user can then view the surveillance video of the preset plot associated with them through the display unit on their front end.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the parameter association module obtains the camera's parameters and associates them with each preset plot. After each user claims and associates with a preset plot, when each user views the monitoring video of the associated preset plot, the monitoring screen dedicated to that preset plot is displayed. Therefore, in this solution, a single camera can display the dedicated monitoring screen of the plot associated with each user, effectively reducing monitoring costs.
