Abstract:
A method for visual transmission and reception of repeatedly changing information comprises repeatedly performing the following set of actions, receiving a first set of information to transmit, the first set of information is an update of a previously received set of information, generating an information carrying first pattern representing the first set of information; displaying the information carrying first pattern in a first color; receiving a second set of information to transmit, the second set of information is an update of the first set of information; generating an information carrying second pattern representing the second set of information; displaying the information carrying second pattern in a second color, the second color differs from the first color; and wherein one of the information carrying patterns is statically displayed when another one of the information carrying patterns is updated.
Abstract:
A monitoring camera is equipped with a touch sensor in a camera cover glass, which senses positions of objects touching or being close to the cover glass. The touch sensor aids the camera in separating image data depicting objects on the cover glass from image data depicting the monitored scene. This information may be used when choosing image capture settings, by indicating to the camera which image regions are less important to take into account, and to avoid false alarms which otherwise may occur when rain drops or insects on the cover glass are mistaken for events in the scene.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for configuring a first camera. The method comprises presenting a visual representation of a second camera in a camera managing device, presenting a visual representation of the first camera in the camera managing device, connecting the visual representation of the first camera to the visual representation of the second camera, transferring, to the first camera, settings information related to the second camera in response to said connecting of the visual representation of the first camera to the visual representation of the second camera, and configuring the first camera using the transferred settings information.
Abstract:
A method and system for determining a position of a camera is disclosed. The method and system includes determining and registering geographical coordinates of a mobile device in the mobile device itself, presenting on a display of the mobile device a pattern representing the geographical coordinates of the mobile device, capturing by the camera an image of the display of the mobile device when presenting the geographical coordinates, translating in the camera the pattern in the captured image of the display of the mobile device into geographical coordinates, and determining in the camera the position of the camera based on the geographical coordinates translated from the pattern in the captured image.
