[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it is to be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that one or more embodiments can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and techniques have been omitted in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0024] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used herein, the terms "comprises", "comprising", and the like are intended to indicate the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0025] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the use of any terms herein should be interpreted as consistent with the context of the specification, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal manner.

[0026] In the case of using expressions similar to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc.", it should generally be interpreted that the meaning of the expression is consistent with the meaning that the person skilled in the art generally understands the expression (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include but is not limited to a system having A alone, a system having B alone, a system having C alone, a system having both A and B, a system having both A and C, a system having both B and C, and / or a system having A, B, and C, etc.).

[0027] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the collection, updating, analysis, processing, use, transmission, provision, disclosure, storage, etc. of the data involved (for example, including but not limited to user personal information) comply with relevant laws and regulations, are used for legal purposes, and do not violate public order and good customs. In particular, necessary measures have been taken to prevent illegal access to user personal information data, to maintain user personal information security, network security, and national security.

[0028] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the authorization or consent of the user is obtained before the user is monitored by the monitoring device and the user personal information is acquired or collected.

[0029] With the development of monitoring technology, consumer monitoring devices are becoming more and more popular, and many families also install monitoring devices, and can watch real-time video images in the residence at any time through a mobile terminal. During the use of the monitoring device, there are often moments that need privacy protection.

[0030] At present, the household monitoring device generally adopts the mode of a rotatable camera, and the privacy protection effect can be achieved by rotating the camera. There are three ways to trigger the start of the privacy protection mode in the related technology:

[0031] Method 1: The user triggers manually, for example, the user manually controls the camera head to rotate through the client, or manually rotates the camera head;

[0032] Method 2: Automatic identification of mobile terminal triggering, when a specific mobile terminal is detected to be connected to the home network, the camera head is automatically rotated;

[0033] Method 3: Automatic identification of target object, when a specific target object is detected, the camera head is automatically rotated.

[0034] In the related art, the manner 1 needs manual control and is complicated to operate; the manners 2 and 3 can be automatically controlled and simplify the operation of the user, but the manners 2 and 3 need to pre-configure a specific mobile terminal or a specific target object and implement continuous privacy protection on the specific mobile terminal or the specific target object. When the target object needs remote care on one hand and occasional privacy protection on the other hand, the existing manners are difficult to meet the requirements and need a series of operations, which is relatively complicated. For example, children and the elderly who need care need to be monitored on one hand and need privacy protection in some occasions on the other hand.

[0035] In view of the above technical problems, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method of a monitoring device, applied to a control end, the control end manages at least one monitoring device; the method comprises: in response to a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction sent by a target monitoring device in the at least one monitoring device, controlling the target monitoring device to enter a temporary privacy protection mode, wherein the temporary privacy protection mode represents that the target monitoring device temporarily stops monitoring a target monitoring area, and the target monitoring device is in a connectable connection request state; in response to satisfying a temporary privacy end condition, canceling the temporary privacy protection mode, and controlling the target monitoring device to enter a monitoring mode, wherein the monitoring mode represents that the target monitoring device continues to monitor the target monitoring area. By adding the temporary privacy protection function, the needs of special groups (children and the elderly who need care) can be met, the needs of temporary privacy protection are met according to the temporary request of the special groups on the premise of meeting the care needs, and frequent operations (such as shutdown, unplugging the network cable, etc.) on the monitoring device are avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] FIG. 1 schematically shows an application scenario diagram of the control method, apparatus, device, medium and program product of the monitoring device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that FIG. 1 only shows an example of the application scenario to which the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied, to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but does not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure cannot be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the application scenario 100 according to the embodiments can include a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, a third terminal device 103, a network 104 and a control end 105. The network 104 is a medium for providing a communication link between the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103 and the control end 105.

[0038] The user can use the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 to interact with the control end 105 through the network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Various client applications can be installed on the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103, such as monitoring applications, shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, mailbox clients, and / or social platform software, etc. (only as an example).

[0039] The first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 can be various electronic devices with display screens and supporting web browsing, including but not limited to smartphones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, etc.

[0040] The control end 105 can manage at least one monitoring device, such as monitoring device 1, monitoring device 2, …, monitoring device n. The control end 105 can be a server providing various services, such as a background management server supporting the website browsed by the user using the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 (only as an example). The background management server can analyze and process the received user request data, such as controlling the corresponding monitoring device to enter the temporary privacy protection mode according to the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction sent by the user.

[0041] It should be noted that the monitoring device control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can generally be executed by the server of the control end 105. Accordingly, the monitoring device control apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can generally be arranged in the server of the control end 105. The monitoring device control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be executed by a server or a server cluster different from the server of the control end 105 and capable of communicating with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and / or the control end 105. Accordingly, the monitoring device control apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be arranged in a server or a server cluster different from the server of the control end 105 and capable of communicating with the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and / or the control end 105.

[0042] It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and control ends in FIG. 1 is only illustrative. According to the needs of implementation, there can be any number of terminal devices, networks, and control ends.

[0043] FIG. 2 schematically shows a flowchart of a monitoring device control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control method of the monitoring device is applied to a control end, the control end manages at least one monitoring device, and each monitoring device is configured with a temporary privacy protection mode. The control end can be a platform or a gateway.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control end managing at least one monitoring device can include registering the at least one monitoring device to the control end and authorizing the at least one monitoring device to the control end. For example, the monitoring device sends a registration request to the control end to register the monitoring device to the control end, so that the control end can control the monitoring device. For another example, the monitoring device sends an authorization request to the control end to authorize the monitoring device to the control end, so that the control end can control the monitoring device.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the client sends a monitoring device registration request or a monitoring device authorization request to the control end, the control end sends a temporary privacy protection mode to the monitoring device, the monitoring device configures the temporary privacy protection mode, for example, configures a trigger condition, a trigger action, an end condition, an end action, and the like, and then saves the temporary privacy protection mode. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control method of the monitoring device includes operations S210-S220 as shown in FIG. 2.

[0047] In operation S210, in response to a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction sent by a target monitoring device in the at least one monitoring device, the target monitoring device enters a temporary privacy protection mode.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temporary privacy protection mode represents that the target monitoring device temporarily stops monitoring a target monitoring area, and at the same time, the target monitoring device is in a state of being able to receive a connection request. The connection request includes a connection request sent by the control end, and can also include a connection request sent by a user mobile device, and can also include a connection request sent by the target monitoring device. In the temporary privacy protection mode, the target monitoring device still establishes a connection with the control end and receives instructions from the control end. The control end can be a component of a cloud server or a component of a local server, and the local server and the target monitoring device form a local area network. In the temporary privacy protection mode, the target monitoring device can normally report device state information, and the device state information includes that the device starts the temporary privacy protection mode. Further, the information that the device starts the temporary privacy protection mode is invisible to the mobile client, so as to avoid the mobile client learning that the target monitoring device starts the temporary privacy protection mode through the control end.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction can be sent by a user through a client or a monitoring device. A temporary privacy protection start button can be installed on the monitoring device, and the user can send the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction by pressing the temporary privacy protection button. The temporary privacy protection trigger instruction can also be generated by recognizing a gesture action or a voice of the user in the target monitoring area.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction comprises at least one of the following: a preset gesture, a voice instruction, and a manual input.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset gesture can be a preset hand gesture, and the preset hand gesture can be a predetermined number of fingers, for example, raising a single finger; the preset hand gesture can also include a predetermined gesture, for example, sliding a single finger in a certain direction, etc.

[0052] The present disclosure does not limit the specific gesture of the preset hand gesture or the specific voice content of the voice instruction or the specific content of the manual input.

[0053] In some embodiments, when there is a temporary privacy protection demand for the target monitoring area, a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction can be sent by a client or a monitoring device to make the control end control the target monitoring device to enter a temporary privacy protection mode, or the monitoring device enters the temporary privacy protection mode according to the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction.

[0054] In other embodiments, when there is a temporary privacy protection demand for the target monitoring area, a user can show a preset hand gesture or speak a voice instruction in the target monitoring area, and the control end generates a control instruction to control the target monitoring device to enter a temporary privacy protection mode after detecting the preset hand gesture or the voice instruction.

[0055] In other embodiments, when there is a temporary privacy protection demand for the target monitoring area, a user can also manually input, for example, touch or press a button on the monitoring device, and the control end generates a control instruction to control the target monitoring device to enter a temporary privacy protection mode after detecting the manual input operation.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, controlling the target monitoring device to enter the temporary privacy protection mode can include controlling the lens of the monitoring device to flip to deviate from the target monitoring area; or controlling the lens of the monitoring device to hide into a protective shell; or controlling the entire monitoring device to flip to deviate from the target monitoring area.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, controlling the target monitoring device to enter the temporary privacy protection mode can also include controlling the microphone of the monitoring device to stop working.

[0058] In operation S220, in response to the temporary privacy end condition being met, the temporary privacy protection mode is cancelled, and the target monitoring device is controlled to enter a monitoring mode.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the monitoring mode represents that the target monitoring device continues to monitor the target monitoring area.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temporary privacy end condition can be preconfigured in a process of configuring the temporary privacy protection mode when the monitoring device is registered.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temporary privacy end condition comprises at least one of the following: receiving a connection request for connecting the target monitoring device, a start time length of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfying a preset time threshold, and receiving a temporary privacy end instruction.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control of the target monitoring device entering the monitoring mode can comprise control of the lens of the monitoring device to flip to face the target monitoring area, or control of the lens of the monitoring device to extend out of the protective shell, or control of the entire monitoring device to flip to face the target monitoring area.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control of the target monitoring device entering the monitoring mode can further comprise control of the microphone of the monitoring device to start working.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the technical scheme comprises: in response to a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction sent by the target monitoring device among the at least one monitoring device, control of the target monitoring device to enter the temporary privacy protection mode; and in response to the temporary privacy end condition being satisfied, cancellation of the temporary privacy protection mode and control of the target monitoring device to enter the monitoring mode. The technical scheme at least partially solves the technical problem of poor flexibility of the control method for privacy protection and difficulty in providing temporary privacy protection in the related art, thereby realizing dynamic switching of privacy protection, ensuring the privacy protection requirement of the user, not affecting monitoring of the user by the monitoring device, and improving the user experience.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the client connects the target monitoring device, in response to the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction sent by the target monitoring device, the target monitoring device is still controlled to remain in the monitoring mode, and the target monitoring device is refused to enter the temporary privacy protection mode.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the temporary privacy end condition is receiving a connection request for connecting the target monitoring device, the cancellation of the temporary privacy protection mode in response to the temporary privacy end condition comprises: in response to receiving the connection request for connecting the target monitoring device, when a preset delay time length is reached, the temporary privacy protection mode is cancelled.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset delay time length can be preconfigured in a process of configuring the temporary privacy end condition when the monitoring device is registered. The preset delay time length can comprise a long delay or a short delay.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to receiving the connection request of the target monitoring device, the canceling the temporary privacy protection mode when the preset delay time length is reached can include: the user sends a connection request for the target monitoring device to the control terminal through the client, the control terminal receives the connection request, and in a case where it is determined that the preset delay time length exists, the control terminal sends the connection request to the target monitoring device after waiting for the preset delay time length, and simultaneously cancels the temporary privacy protection mode, and controls the target monitoring device to enter the monitoring mode; the target monitoring device sends a connection response to the control terminal, the control terminal receives the connection response and sends the connection response to the client to make the client successfully connect with the target monitoring device.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the preset delay time length is not set, the canceling the temporary privacy protection mode in response to the temporary privacy ending condition being met can include: in response to receiving a connection request of the client connecting the target monitoring device, the control terminal receives the connection request and directly sends the connection request to the target monitoring device, and simultaneously cancels the temporary privacy protection mode, and controls the target monitoring device to enter the monitoring mode; the target monitoring device sends a connection response to the control terminal, and the control terminal receives the connection response and sends the connection response to the client to make the client successfully connect with the target monitoring device.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the canceling the temporary privacy protection mode can include only starting one of the video and the sound, and can also include simultaneously starting the video and the sound.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes: controlling the target monitoring device to send a notification message, wherein the notification message is used to notify a target user in the target monitoring area that the temporary privacy protection mode has been canceled or will be canceled.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the notification message can be a voice message or a text message. For example, in a case where the notification message is a voice message, the target monitoring device can directly play the voice message; and in a case where the notification message is a text message, the text message can be displayed on a preset display screen. The preset display screen can be a display screen of the monitoring device or another display screen.

[0073] In some embodiments, after the target monitoring device is controlled to cancel the temporary privacy protection mode, a notification message that the temporary privacy protection mode has been canceled can be sent to notify a target user in the target monitoring area that the temporary privacy protection mode has been canceled.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the notification message for canceling the temporary privacy protection mode can be sent before the control target monitoring device cancels the temporary privacy protection mode, to notify the target user in the target monitoring area that the temporary privacy protection mode is about to be canceled. FIG. 3 schematically shows a schematic diagram of a control method of a monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 3, before implementing the control method of the monitoring device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, first, the client and the monitoring device send a registration request to the control end to register the client and n monitoring devices at the control end, wherein the registered monitoring devices are configured with the temporary privacy protection mode.

[0092] Then, the target user sends a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction 501 to the target monitoring device, for example, device 1, wherein the temporary privacy protection trigger instruction 501 contains end condition information; after the target monitoring device receives the privacy protection trigger instruction 501, the control request 502 for controlling the target monitoring device to enter the temporary privacy protection mode and the end condition information 503 are sent to the control end, the control end generates the corresponding control instruction 503 according to the control request 502, and controls the target monitoring device to enter the temporary privacy protection mode 507, so that the target monitoring device temporarily stops monitoring the target monitoring area; at the same time, the control end sends the content acquisition request 504 for acquiring the current monitoring content to the target monitoring device, the target monitoring device sends the content acquisition response 505 to the control end, and the control end generates new temporary privacy end conditions 508 according to the acquired current monitoring content and the end condition information.

[0093] After that, after a preset time interval, the control end sends the content acquisition request 509 for acquiring the current monitoring content to the target monitoring device, and the target monitoring device feeds back the content acquisition response 510 to the control end; the control end determines whether the current monitoring content meets the new temporary privacy end conditions, if not, the target monitoring device is controlled to maintain the temporary privacy protection mode 512; and if yes, the control instruction 513 is sent to the target monitoring device to control the target monitoring device to cancel the temporary privacy protection mode.

[0094] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control terminal manages N monitoring devices, N≥2; the method further comprises: detecting a monitoring device associated with the target monitoring device among the N monitoring devices, and controlling the associated monitoring device to enter a temporary privacy protection mode.

[0095] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the associated monitoring device can be a monitoring device within the same area range, for example, monitoring devices in different rooms in a home can be associated with each other.

[0096] In some embodiments, for example, monitoring device 1, monitoring device 2 and monitoring device 3 are installed in area A, then monitoring device 1, monitoring device 2 and monitoring device 3 are associated with each other; in response to detecting a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction for a target monitoring device, for example, monitoring device 1, the monitoring device 1 is controlled to enter a temporary privacy protection mode, and at the same time, the monitoring devices associated with the monitoring device 1, i.e., monitoring device 2 and monitoring device 3, are also controlled to enter a temporary privacy protection mode.

[0097] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling the associated monitoring device to enter a temporary privacy protection mode, the same area range can be a privacy protection area, so that the target user can protect privacy when moving in the privacy protection area. At the same time, the method sends a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction to control multiple monitoring devices to enter a temporary privacy protection mode, without the need to send a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction to each monitoring device, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above method further comprises: in the case where there is a monitoring device associated with the target monitoring device, canceling the temporary privacy protection mode of the associated monitoring device, and controlling the associated monitoring device to enter a monitoring mode.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the target monitoring device cancels the temporary privacy protection mode, the monitoring device associated with the target monitoring device also cancels the temporary privacy protection mode, without the need to send an instruction to cancel the temporary privacy protection mode to each monitoring device, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0100] FIG. 6 schematically shows a flowchart of a control method of a monitoring device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 6, the control method of the monitoring device of this embodiment comprises operation S610 to operation S650.

[0102] In operation S610, in response to a temporary privacy protection trigger instruction sent by a target monitoring device among at least one monitoring device, the target monitoring device is controlled to enter a temporary privacy protection mode.

[0103] In operation S620, a monitoring device associated with the target monitoring device is detected.

[0104] In operation S630, the associated monitoring device is controlled to enter a temporary privacy protection mode.

[0105] In operation S640, in response to the temporary privacy end condition being met, the temporary privacy protection mode is cancelled, and the target monitoring device is controlled to enter a monitoring mode.

[0106] In operation S650, the temporary privacy protection mode of the associated monitoring device is cancelled, and the associated monitoring device is controlled to enter a monitoring mode.

[0107] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above method further comprises: in the case where there are at least two temporary privacy end conditions, generating a control strategy corresponding to each temporary privacy end condition according to a priority level of each temporary privacy end condition; and in response to the temporary privacy end condition being met, cancelling the temporary privacy protection mode and controlling the target monitoring device to enter a monitoring mode comprises: in response to an i th privacy end condition being met among the at least two temporary privacy end conditions, controlling the target monitoring device to enter a monitoring mode or keeping the target monitoring device in the temporary privacy protection mode by using an i th control strategy corresponding to the i th privacy end condition, i ≥ 1.

[0108] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control strategy characterizes whether the target monitoring device is controlled to enter a monitoring mode after the temporary privacy end condition is triggered.

[0109] In some embodiments, for example, the target monitoring device is configured with two temporary privacy end conditions, including a temporary privacy end condition A and a temporary privacy end condition B, wherein the priority of the temporary privacy end condition A is higher than the priority of the temporary privacy end condition B. Then the control strategy corresponding to the temporary privacy end condition A can be to directly control the target monitoring device to enter a monitoring mode after the temporary privacy end condition A is triggered; and the control strategy corresponding to the temporary privacy end condition B includes controlling the target monitoring device to enter a monitoring mode after the temporary privacy end condition B is triggered, without conflict with a temporary privacy end condition having a higher priority level.

[0110] Specifically, for example, the temporary privacy end condition A is a connection request of a client connecting the target monitoring device, and the temporary privacy end condition B is that the opening duration of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfies a preset time threshold. When there is a connection request of a client connecting the target monitoring device, it is not necessary to determine whether the opening duration of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfies the preset time threshold, and the target monitoring device can directly enter the monitoring mode. When the opening duration of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfies the preset time threshold, it is necessary to determine whether the temporary privacy end condition with a higher priority level, i.e., the connection request of a client connecting the target monitoring device, conflicts. If there is no conflict, the target monitoring device can enter the monitoring mode. If there is a conflict, the target monitoring device enters the monitoring mode only when the conflicting temporary privacy end condition, i.e., the connection request of a client connecting the target monitoring device, is executed.

[0111] For another example, the temporary privacy end condition A is that a target user in a target monitoring area is in a preset state, and the temporary privacy protection mode ends; and the temporary privacy end condition B is that the opening duration of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfies a preset time threshold. When it is detected that the target user in the target monitoring area is in the preset state, it is not necessary to determine whether the opening duration of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfies the preset time threshold, and the target monitoring device can directly enter the monitoring mode. When the opening duration of the temporary privacy protection mode satisfies the preset time threshold, it is necessary to determine whether the temporary privacy end condition with a higher priority level, i.e., the target user in the target monitoring area is in the preset state, conflicts. If the target user is in the preset state at this time, it is determined that there is no conflict, and the target monitoring device can enter the monitoring mode. If the target user is not in the preset state, it is determined that there is a conflict, and the temporary privacy end condition A needs to be executed. When the target user is in the preset state, the temporary privacy protection mode ends.

[0112] FIG. 7 schematically shows a flowchart of a control method of a monitoring device according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0126] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset delay time period can be preconfigured in the process of configuring the temporary privacy end condition when registering the monitoring device. The preset delay time period can include a long delay or a short delay.

[0127] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to receiving the connection request of the connection monitoring device, when the preset delay time length is reached, canceling the temporary privacy protection mode can include: the user sends a connection request to the monitoring device through the client, the monitoring device receives the connection request, in the case of determining that the preset delay time length exists, after waiting for the preset delay time length, canceling the temporary privacy protection mode, and triggering the monitoring device to enter the monitoring mode; at the same time, sending a connection response to the client, so that the client establishes a connection with the monitoring device.

[0128] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the preset delay time length is not set, in response to satisfying the temporary privacy end condition, canceling the temporary privacy protection mode includes: in response to receiving the connection request of the client to the connection monitoring device, the monitoring device receives the connection request and directly cancels the temporary privacy protection mode, and triggers the monitoring device to enter the monitoring mode; at the same time, sending a connection response to the client, so that the client establishes a connection with the monitoring device.
