REMOTE MONITORING APPARATUS, REMOTE MONITORING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18237714 titled 'REMOTE MONITORING APPARATUS, REMOTE MONITORING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a remote monitoring apparatus that allows users to switch between different images with added position and time information.
- The distribution unit of the apparatus distributes a second image to the user terminal, which includes position information indicating a different position from the first image and time information indicating the same time as the first image when a switching instruction is received.
- The distribution unit also distributes a third image to the user terminal, which includes position information indicating the same position as the first image and time information indicating a different time from the first image when a different switching instruction is received.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Remote surveillance systems: The apparatus can be used in surveillance systems to provide users with different views and time information of a monitored area.
- Virtual tours: The technology can be utilized in virtual tours to allow users to switch between different images of a location with added position and time information.
- Remote inspection: The apparatus can be used in remote inspection scenarios where users can switch between different images of an object or location to analyze changes over time.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhanced monitoring capabilities: The apparatus allows users to switch between different images with added position and time information, providing a more comprehensive view of a monitored area.
- Improved analysis: Users can compare images taken at different times or from different positions to identify changes or anomalies.
- Remote access: The technology enables users to remotely access and control the monitoring apparatus, eliminating the need for physical presence.
Benefits of this technology:
- Flexibility: Users can switch between different images and perspectives, enhancing their ability to monitor and analyze a situation.
- Time-saving: Remote access and image switching capabilities save time by eliminating the need for physical presence or manual image retrieval.
- Enhanced situational awareness: The added position and time information provide users with a more complete understanding of the monitored area or object.
Original Abstract Submitted
A remote monitoring apparatus includes a distribution unit that (i) distributes to a user terminal a second image to which position information indicating a different position from that indicated by first position information, which is position information added to a first image, is added and to which time information indicating a same time as that indicated by first time information, which is time information added to the first image, is added when receiving from the user terminal a first switching instruction indicating image switching of the first image in one direction, and (ii) distributes to the user terminal a third image to which position information indicating a same position as that indicated by the first position information is added and to which time information indicating a different time from that indicated by the first time information is added, when receiving from the user terminal a second switching instruction indicating image switching of the first image in another direction that crosses the one direction.
