Solution Overview

Problem

Current CCTV monitoring systems require cumbersome wire communication for granting authority to end-users and checking camera operations, which is inconvenient and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A CCTV monitoring system and control method that allows a manager with temporal authority on an installer terminal to install cameras, check their operation, and delegate authority to an end-user's terminal through cooperation among the installer terminal, end-user terminal, and service server, using MAC addresses and activation codes for camera management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wire communication is used to grant authority from manager to end-user, then authority can be granted securely, but the process becomes cumbersome and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthority grant securityVSAvoidauthority grant convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wire communication system with a wireless communication system. The manager terminal and end-user terminal communicate wirelessly with the monitoring service server to grant and transfer camera authority, eliminating the need for physical wire connections while maintaining secure authority management through encrypted digital communication channels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring service server acts as an intermediary between the manager terminal and end-user terminal. Instead of direct wire communication between devices, the server mediates the authority grant process by receiving requests, verifying permissions, and distributing camera access rights through wireless communication, simplifying the interaction while ensuring security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If manual checking of camera operation is required, then operational status can be verified, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera operation verification accuracyVSAvoidcamera management efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automatic feedback mechanisms where the monitoring service server continuously receives operational status information from cameras and manager terminals. The server automatically processes this feedback data to verify camera operation status, eliminating manual checking while maintaining accurate verification through real-time digital status reports and automated notification systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring service server performs self-service by automatically verifying camera operation status without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously collects operational data from cameras, processes status information, and manages verification records, significantly improving management efficiency while maintaining precise operational verification through automated digital monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention provides a CCTV monitoring system for registering a camera and managing permission, and a control method of the system. In other words, according to the present invention, a manager having an installer terminal granted with temporal authority over the camera, can install the relevant camera, check whether the camera operates, and then, entrust/set authority over the camera to a terminal of an end-user through cooperation among the installer terminal, the terminal of the end-user, and a service server. Accordingly, convenience for a user can be improved and it is possible to more efficiently manage an installed camera.
