Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing video recording processes for multiple video devices from different manufacturers is complex and difficult, especially in real scenarios with a large variety and number of devices, necessitating a more convenient and flexible control method.
Innovation Solution
A device control method and system that generates a globally unique device identifier-based recording plan, allowing a first server to control video recording through a second server interacting with the target video device via a target port, with conditions for starting and stopping the recording process, and includes a distributed architecture for managing multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional control methods are used for multiple video devices from different manufacturers, then device compatibility and coverage are limited, but system complexity and management difficulty increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal control platform that can manage multiple types of video devices from different manufacturers through standardized protocols. The server architecture provides unified device identification, recording plan management, and control interfaces that work across diverse device types, eliminating the need for manufacturer-specific management approaches.
Solution Approach 2:
The control server acts as an intermediary between the user and multiple video devices. It handles device identification, recording plan creation, and control commands, translating user intentions into device-specific actions. This mediator approach simplifies management by abstracting away device-specific complexities from the user interface.
2Ease of operation
If manual control methods are used for video recording, then flexibility is high, but operational efficiency and time consumption deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to pre-configure recording plans with device selections, time schedules, and recording parameters before execution. These recording plans are stored and automatically executed according to predetermined conditions, eliminating the need for manual intervention during recording operations and significantly improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated recording system operates independently once recording plans are configured. The server automatically monitors conditions, executes recording tasks, and manages multiple devices without requiring continuous manual control, enabling the system to serve itself and大幅提升 management efficiency.
3Reliability
If centralized control architecture is used, then system stability is improved, but scalability and adaptability to large numbers of devices deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into modular components including device management modules, recording plan management modules, and execution modules. This segmentation allows the system to handle large numbers of devices by dividing control tasks across multiple functional units, maintaining stability while enabling scalability to accommodate growing device populations.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a device control method, system and apparatus, a server, and a medium. According to the present disclosure, in response to a recording plan creation instruction, a recording plan that includes at least a device identifier of a video device for video recording is generated, and the generated recording plan is stored. Since the device identifier of the video device is globally unique, in a case where recording conditions of a stored target recording plan are met, a second server is controlled to interact with a target video device indicated by a device identifier in the target recording plan and perform video recording through a target port in the target video device, thereby making it more convenient and flexible to control the video device to perform recording.
