Gateway Device Auto VLAN Tagging for Video Packet Priority
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web camera installations require complex network configurations to ensure high video packet transmission quality, leading to issues like packet loss and transmission delay, which ordinary users cannot efficiently manage.
Innovation Solution
A gateway device with a control module, storage module, and ports, featuring a lookup table to automatically identify web cameras and add a specific group code to video packets for high-priority transmission within a VLAN, eliminating the need for manual setup and advanced network knowledge.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual VLAN configuration and priority setting are implemented, then video packet transmission quality is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway device automatically detects video packets from web cameras and adds appropriate VLAN tags and priority settings without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously configuring the network parameters needed for high-quality video transmission, eliminating the need for users to manually set up VLANs or adjust priority settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The gateway device pre-configures VLAN tags and priority settings for video packets before transmission occurs. By preparing the network configuration in advance through automatic detection and tagging, the system ensures that video packets are ready for high-priority transmission without requiring last-minute manual adjustments or complex user setup procedures.

AI summary
The present invention is to provide a gateway device which, when determining that a network device connected thereto is a web camera and receives a packet from the web camera, is able to automatically add a port of the gateway device connected with the network device to a VLAN designated by the gateway device and then add a specific group code to the packet to specify the VLAN, such that the gateway device can transmit the packet to the VLAN according to the specific group code. The gateway device is then able to automatically set transmission priority of the packet to a high priority, such that after the packet is transmitted out of the VLAN, the packet can be transmitted through a transmission channel with the high priority, so as to improve the convenience of using the web camera and assure the transmission priority of the packet in the VLAN.
