[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or", for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. Words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not limit them to be necessarily different.

[0024] It should be noted that, in this disclosure, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described in this disclosure as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of "exemplary" or "for example" should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete way.

[0025] With the development of the times, the application scenarios of cameras are also expanding. Multiple cameras in the same scene are usually connected to the same local area network, the same wide area network, or the same cloud platform through wired or wireless means, and do not directly communicate with each other. This leads to significant resource and information barriers between multiple cameras. The lack of communication between multiple cameras in the same scene can lead to excessive load on the cameras, thereby affecting their task execution efficiency.

[0026] To address the aforementioned issues in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a resource sharing method. Based on the resources required for a target task and the resource information corresponding to at least one second camera, a first camera identifies a target camera from among at least one second camera and instructs the target camera to execute the target task based on the camera information captured by the first camera. This allows communication between the first camera and at least one second camera to select the target camera to execute the target task, helping to avoid excessive load on the first camera and thereby ensuring the efficiency of task execution for the first camera.

[0027] The resource sharing method provided by the present disclosure can be applied to a camera system as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture of a camera system provided by the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the camera system includes multiple camera devices, including a first camera 11 that receives a target task and at least one second camera 12 other than the first camera 11. The first camera 11 and the at least one second camera 12 are connected via a wired or wireless connection.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the resource sharing method disclosed herein can be applied to home security scenarios, community security scenarios, factory security scenarios, etc. The disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on specific application scenarios.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first camera 11 and the second camera 12 are both cameras with wireless communication capabilities.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first camera 11 and the at least one second camera 12 may both establish storage space based on a trans-flash card (TF), a hard disk, or a cloud space.

[0031] For example, assuming that the first camera 11 and at least one second camera 12 both use TF cards to create storage space, and one camera can simultaneously receive video information sent by at most X cameras. In this case, the number of TF cards required can be determined based on the following formula:

[0032] Where F is used to indicate the number of TF cards required, M is used to indicate the duration of video that each TF card can store, and T is used to indicate the duration of video that each shooting device needs to store.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second camera 12 may be a camera connected to the same local area network as the first camera 11, or may be a camera connected to the same switch local area network as the first camera. This disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0034] For example, within the same local area network, the first camera 11 and at least one second camera 12 can discover each other and exchange information through a distributed soft bus technology (such as the KOP protocol).

[0035] In some embodiments, the first camera 11 and the second camera can both be cameras with wireless transceiver capabilities, which can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld, wearable, or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on water (such as ships, etc.); can also be deployed in the air (for example, on airplanes, balloons, and satellites, etc.). The camera can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver and camera functions, a camera end in industrial control, a camera in self-driving, a camera in remote medical care, a camera in a smart grid, a camera in transportation safety, a camera in a smart city, a camera in a smart home, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the application scenarios.

[0036] It should be noted that FIG1 is only an exemplary framework diagram, and the number of devices included in FIG1 and the names of the devices are not limited. In addition to the devices shown in FIG1 , the shooting system may also include other devices, such as a server.

[0037] For example, see Figure 2, which illustrates a schematic diagram of the architecture of another camera system provided by the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the camera system includes, in addition to a first camera 11 and at least one second camera 12, a server 13. The first camera 11 and the at least one second camera 12, as well as the first camera 11 and the server 13, and the at least one second camera 12 and the server 13, can be connected via wired or wireless means.

[0038] In some embodiments, server 13 can be an independent server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data service networks.

[0039] The present disclosure provides a resource sharing method, which is applied to the first camera 11 in FIG1 . As shown in FIG3 , the method includes the following steps:

[0040] S101: Acquire resources required for a target task of a first photographing device.

[0041] In some embodiments, the target task includes a storage task or a computing task. The storage task may be storing video information within a certain time period, storing a certain image, or storing audio information within a certain time period, and the present disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this. The computing task may be an artificial intelligence (AI) function, a data processing task, a target detection and recognition task, or a motion detection task, and the present disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0042] In some embodiments, the resources required for the target task include at least one of the following: neural network processor computing power resources, central processing unit computing power resources, memory resources, storage resources, and network bandwidth resources required for the target task.

[0043] In some embodiments, upon receiving the target task, the first shooting device obtains resources required for the target task.

[0044] It is understandable that after the first camera receives the target task, if the first camera directly executes the target task, the idle resources of the first camera may not meet the resources required by the target task, resulting in the first camera missing key video frames or key audio frames when executing the target task, thereby affecting the processing effect of the target task. Therefore, the first camera needs to obtain the resources required for the target task to determine whether other cameras can assist in executing the target task. This helps the first camera select other cameras to execute the target task when the idle resources of the first camera cannot meet the resources required for the target task, thereby avoiding affecting the processing effect of the target task due to insufficient idle resources of the first camera.

[0045] S102: Obtain resource information corresponding to at least one second shooting device.

[0046] Among them, resource information includes at least one of the following: neural network processor computing power resource occupancy rate, central processing unit network computing power resource occupancy rate, memory resource occupancy rate, storage resource occupancy rate and network bandwidth resource occupancy rate.

[0047] In some embodiments, upon receiving the target task, the first shooting device obtains resource information corresponding to at least one second shooting device.

[0048] It is understandable that the idle resources of the first camera may not necessarily meet the resources required for the target task. Therefore, the first camera needs to obtain the resource information corresponding to at least one second camera. In this way, if the idle resources of the first camera cannot meet the resources required for the target task, the second camera with lower resource utilization rate can be selected to perform the target task.

[0049] S103: Determine a target shooting device based on resources required for the target task and resource information corresponding to at least one second shooting device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the target camera is the second camera selected to perform the target task.

[0051] It is understood that if the first camera's available resources are insufficient to meet the target task's resource requirements, the first camera will randomly delegate the target task to a second camera. However, the available resources of the second camera to which the target task is delegated may not necessarily meet the required resources. Therefore, the first camera needs to determine the target camera from the at least one second camera based on the resources required for the target task and the resource information corresponding to the at least one second camera.

[0052] In this way, it is helpful to select a shooting device whose idle resources can meet the target resources to perform the target task, thereby helping to ensure the processing effect of the target task.

[0053] S104: Share the shooting information of the first shooting device with the target shooting device, and send a collaborative work instruction to the target shooting device.

[0054] The collaborative work instruction is used to instruct the target shooting device to perform the target task based on the shooting information of the first shooting device. The shooting information includes video information, image information or audio information acquired by the shooting device.

[0055] For example, assuming the target task is a storage task, specifically storing video information captured by the first camera within 30 minutes from the moment it is captured. Within 30 minutes from the moment it is captured, the first camera shares the video information captured by the first camera with the target camera and sends a collaborative work instruction to the target camera, instructing the target camera to store the video information captured by the first camera within 30 minutes from the moment it is captured.

[0056] As another example, assume the target task is a calculation task, specifically, to calculate the number of teenagers appearing in the video information captured by the first camera within 30 minutes from now. Within 30 minutes from now, the first camera shares the video information captured by the first camera with the target camera and sends a collaborative work instruction to the target camera, causing the target camera to calculate the number of teenagers appearing in the next 30 minutes based on the video information captured by the first camera in the next 30 minutes.

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, the first camera, based on the acquired resources required for the target task and the resource information corresponding to each of the at least one second camera, identifies a target camera from the at least one second camera and instructs the target camera to execute the target task based on the camera information of the first camera. This allows the first camera to select the target camera to execute the target task through communication between the first camera and the at least one second camera, thereby helping to avoid excessive load on the first camera and thereby ensuring the efficiency of task execution by the first camera.

[0058] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG4 , the above S102 may include the following steps:

[0059] a1. Send a first message to the second shooting device.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first message is used to request the second camera to send a second message to the first camera, wherein the second message includes a device identifier of the second camera and resource information of the second camera.

[0061] In some embodiments, after receiving the target task, the first shooting device sends a first message to the second shooting device to request the second shooting device to send a second message including the information of the second shooting device.

[0062] a2. Receive a second message sent by a second shooting device.

[0063] a3. Obtain resource information corresponding to the second shooting device from the second message.

[0064] In some embodiments, after receiving the second message sent by the second camera, the first camera parses the second message to obtain resource information corresponding to the second camera.

[0065] In this way, it is helpful for the first shooting device to determine whether the second shooting device can be used to perform the target task based on the resource information corresponding to the second shooting device.

[0066] In another possible implementation, as shown in FIG5 , the above S102 may further include the following steps:

[0067] b1. Receive a second message periodically sent by a second shooting device.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second message is periodically sent by the second shooting device to the first shooting device.

[0069] For example, the second shooting device sends the second message to the first shooting device once every 1 minute.

[0070] b2. Obtain resource information corresponding to the second shooting device from the second message.

[0071] In some embodiments, after receiving the second message periodically sent by the second camera, the first camera parses the second message to obtain resource information corresponding to the second camera.

[0072] In this way, it helps the first shooting device to periodically understand the resource occupancy of the second shooting device, and it also helps to determine whether the second shooting device can be used to perform the target task based on the resource information corresponding to the second shooting device obtained most recently when the idle resources of the first shooting device cannot meet the target task.

[0073] In another possible implementation, as shown in FIG6 , the above S102 may further include the following steps:

[0074] c1. Receive a second message sent by the second shooting device when the change value of the resource occupancy rate is greater than a second preset threshold.

[0075] In some embodiments, the change in resource utilization is the change in resource utilization of the second camera during the previous cycle compared to the resource utilization corresponding to the second message last sent by the second camera. For example, if the resource utilization corresponding to the second message last sent by the second camera A is 57%, and the resource utilization of the second camera A during the previous cycle is 65.35%, then based on the resource utilization corresponding to the second message last sent by the second camera A and the resource utilization of the second camera A during the previous cycle, the change in resource utilization can be determined to be 8.35%.

[0076] The resource utilization rate corresponding to the second message is the average of the resource utilization rates of each resource in the resource information of the second message. For example, if the resource information of the second message shows that the neural network processor computing power resource utilization rate is 56%, the central processing unit computing power resource utilization rate is 54%, the memory resource utilization rate is 45%, and the storage resource utilization rate and network bandwidth resource utilization rate are 78%, then the utilization rate corresponding to the second message is 58.25%.

[0077] The resource utilization rate of the second camera in the previous cycle is the average resource utilization rate of each hardware component of the second camera at the end of the previous cycle. For example, suppose that at the end of the previous cycle, the computing resource utilization rate of the neural network processor of the second camera was 50%, the computing resource utilization rate of the central processing unit was 70%, and the memory resource utilization rate was 66%. In this case, the resource utilization rate of the second camera in the previous cycle can be determined to be 62%.

[0078] c2. Obtain the resource occupancy rate corresponding to the second shooting device from the second message.

[0079] In some embodiments, after receiving the second message sent by the second camera when the change value of the resource occupancy rate is greater than a second preset threshold, the first camera parses the second message to obtain resource information corresponding to the second camera.

[0080] In this way, when the resource occupancy rate of the second camera device changes significantly, the first camera device can promptly learn about the resource occupancy rate of the second camera device.

[0081] According to the above content, it can be seen that in the present disclosure, the first shooting device can obtain the resource information corresponding to the second shooting device through various methods such as active request and periodic reception, so that the first shooting device can flexibly choose the method of obtaining the resource information corresponding to the second shooting device, avoiding the limitations caused by a single acquisition method.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 , before the above S103 , the resource sharing method provided by the present disclosure may further include the following step d1 . The above S103 may be specifically implemented as the following step d2 .

[0083] d1. Determine idle resources of the first shooting device.

[0084] In some embodiments, after receiving the target task, the first shooting device obtains the usage of one or more of the neural network processor, central processing unit, memory, storage space and network bandwidth of the first shooting device, and then determines the idle resources of the first shooting device.

[0085] For example, assume that the computing power of the neural network processor of the first camera A is 10TOPS (10 trillion floating-point operations per second) and the current utilization rate is 50%; the main frequency of the central processing unit of the first camera A is 2.5GHz and the current occupancy rate is 30%; the memory size of the first camera A is 16GB and the currently used memory amount is 8GB; the first camera A is equipped with a 1TB storage hard drive with 700GB of used storage space; the first camera A is connected to a 100Mbps network and the current network traffic is 60Mbps. At this point, it can be determined that the idle resources of the first camera A include 5TOPS of neural network processor computing power resources, 700MHz of central processing unit computing power resources, 8GB of memory resources, 200GB of storage resources, and 40Mbps of network bandwidth resources.

[0086] d2. If the idle resources of the first shooting device do not meet the resources required by the target task, determine a target shooting device based on the resources required by the target task and the resource occupancy rate corresponding to the at least one second shooting device.

[0087] In some embodiments, the "idle resources of the first shooting device do not meet the resources required for the target task" in the above d2 may mean that the resource occupancy rate of the first shooting device when executing the target task is above the first preset threshold. This disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on the size of the first preset threshold.

[0088] Exemplarily, assuming that the first preset threshold is 80%, when the resource occupancy rate of the first shooting device in the state of executing the target task is above 80%, the idle resources of the first shooting device do not meet the resources required by the target task.

[0089] This helps to avoid excessive resource usage of the first camera, thereby helping to ensure load balance between the first camera and at least one second camera.

[0090] It should be understood that when the idle resources of the first shooting device do not meet the resources required for the target task, determining the target shooting device from at least one second shooting device can also help avoid unnecessary adjustments to the target task, thereby helping to avoid unnecessary consumption of communication resources, storage resources, etc.

[0091] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG8 , the above S103 may include the following steps:

[0092] e1. For each of the at least one second shooting device, determine a resource occupancy rate of the second shooting device when executing the target task based on resource information of the second shooting device and resources required by the target task.

[0093] The resource information may also include at least one of the following: computing power resources of the neural network processor of the shooting device, computing power resources of the central processing unit, memory resources, storage resources and network bandwidth resources.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first shooting device determines the resource occupancy rate of the target task for the second shooting device based on the resource information of the second shooting device, and then determines the resource occupancy rate of the second shooting device when executing the target task based on the resource occupancy rate of the target task for the second shooting device and the resource information of the second shooting device.

[0095] For example, assuming the resource information of the second camera indicates a resource utilization rate of 50%, and the first camera determines, based on the resource information of the second camera, that the resource utilization rate of the target task for the second camera is 12%, then, based on the resource utilization rate of the target task for the second camera and the resource information of the second camera, the resource utilization rate of the second camera when executing the target task is determined to be 62%.

[0096] e2. Determine a target shooting device based on the resource occupancy rate corresponding to at least one second shooting device when executing the target task.

[0097] This helps select a second shooting device with a lower resource occupancy rate when executing the target task as the target shooting device among at least one second shooting device, thereby helping to ensure load balancing between the first shooting device and at least one second shooting device.

[0098] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG9 , the above-mentioned step e2 may include the following steps:

[0099] f1. Based on the order of resource occupancy rates corresponding to at least one second shooting device in the state of executing the target task from small to large, search for a second shooting device whose resource occupancy rate in the state of executing the target task is less than a first preset threshold from at least one second shooting device.

[0100] It should be understood that the search is performed in ascending order of resource utilization while executing the target task. Once a second camera with a resource utilization less than a first preset threshold is found, the first camera can immediately stop searching without further checking the remaining second cameras. This can significantly reduce the number of searches and improve search efficiency.

[0101] In another possible implementation, based on the priority of at least one second shooting device, a second shooting device whose resource occupancy rate when executing the target task is less than a first preset threshold is searched from at least one second shooting device in descending order of priority.

[0102] In some embodiments, the reference resource is any resource required by the target task. For example, the resources required by the target task include memory resources, CPU resources, and storage resources, and the reference resource can be any one of the memory resources, CPU resources, and storage resources.

[0103] The priority of the second shooting device is negatively correlated with the resource occupancy rate of the reference resource in the resource occupancy rate corresponding to the second shooting device.

[0104] f2. The second shooting device found for the first time is used as the target shooting device.

[0105] In this way, the first shooting device uses the second shooting device with the lowest resource occupancy rate when executing the target task as the target shooting device, which is beneficial to load balancing between the first shooting device and at least one second shooting device.

[0106] In some embodiments, when the first shooting device fails to find the target shooting device in at least one second shooting device, the first shooting device sends a prompt message to refuse to execute the target task.

[0107] It should be understood that when the target shooting device is not found in at least one second shooting device, it indicates that each second shooting device does not have sufficient free resources to perform the target task. At this time, refusing to execute the target task will help avoid the shooting device from malfunctioning or crashing due to insufficient resources when executing the target task.

[0108] As shown in FIG10 , after the above S104 , the technical solution provided by the present disclosure further includes the following steps:

[0109] S201: Receive task execution result information sent by a target shooting device.

[0110] The task execution result information is used to indicate the result of the target shooting device executing the target task.

[0111] For example, assuming that the target task is a storage task, specifically storing the audio information acquired by the first shooting device within 20 minutes from now, the task execution result information may be that the target shooting device has stored the audio information indicated by the target task.

[0112] For example, suppose the target task is to count the number of people with blond hair in the video captured by the first camera within 10 minutes from the moment the task is completed. In this case, the task execution result information may be that there are 13 people with blond hair in the video captured by the first camera within 10 minutes from the moment the task is completed.

[0113] In this way, the first shooting device can timely learn about the progress of the target task, thereby achieving the purpose of collaborative work between the first shooting device and the target shooting device.

[0114] As an example, the resource sharing method provided in the present disclosure may specifically include the following steps:

[0115] Step 1: Receive and execute the target task.

[0116] Step 2: Obtain resources required for the target task; obtain resource information of at least one second shooting device.

[0117] Step three, determine the idle resources of the first shooting device; if the idle resources of the first shooting device cannot meet the resources required for the target task, based on the resources required for the target task and the resource information corresponding to at least one second shooting device, determine the target shooting device for executing the target task in at least one second shooting device.

[0118] Step 4: Based on the resource utilization rates of the at least one second camera when executing the target task, the at least one second camera is sequentially searched for a second camera whose resource utilization rate when executing the target task is less than a first preset threshold. If the at least one second camera includes a second camera whose resource utilization rate when executing the target task is less than the first preset threshold, the process proceeds to Step 5. If the target camera is not found in the at least one second camera, a prompt message is issued to indicate that execution of the target task is rejected.

[0119] Step 5: The second shooting device found for the first time is used as the target shooting device.

[0120] Step 6: Share the shooting information of the first shooting device with the target shooting device, and send a collaborative work instruction to the target shooting device.

[0121] Step 7: Receive the task execution result information sent by the target shooting device.

[0122] The above mainly introduces the scheme of the embodiment of the present disclosure from the perspective of method. A resource sharing device is also shown below, which is used to execute the resource sharing method in any of the above embodiments and possible implementation methods thereof. It can be understood that in order to implement the resource sharing method, the resource sharing device includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function; those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the algorithm steps of each example described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional and technical personnel can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the present disclosure.

[0123] The embodiment of the present disclosure can divide the resource sharing device into functional modules according to the above-mentioned method embodiment. For example, each functional module can be divided corresponding to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated into one functional module. The above-mentioned integrated module can be implemented in the form of hardware or software.
