Distributed object identification system and method, and edge computing device

An edge computing method, performed by an edge computing device, the edge computing device included in a distributed object identification system comprising a plurality of edge computing devices, wherein the edge computing device is determined as a central control device based on election from the plurality of edge computing devices, the method comprising:

• capturing a video stream of an environment;
• obtaining identity information of an object in the video stream by performing object identification on the video stream;
• monitoring an operating status of each of the plurality of edge computing devices;
• performing a fault response operation on one edge computing device of the plurality of edge computing devices in a fault status based on the one edge computing device in the fault status being monitored;
• encrypting the captured video stream based on a key possessed by the edge computing device;
• determining an interactive device, which acquires keys possessed by the plurality of edge computing devices, from the plurality of edge computing devices based on a set interaction condition and device information of the plurality of edge computing device;
• and
• monitoring an operation status of the interactive device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a device, the device comprising an edge computing device included in a distributed object identification system comprising a plurality of edge computing devices, wherein the edge computing device is determined as a central control device based on election from the plurality of edge computing devices, cause the at least one processor to:

• capture a video stream of an environment;
• obtain identity information of an object in the video stream by performing object identification on the video stream;
• monitor an operating status of each of the plurality of edge computing devices;
• perform a fault response operation on one edge computing device of the plurality of edge computing devices in a fault status based on the one edge computing device in the fault status being monitored;
• encrypt the captured video stream based on a key possessed by the edge computing device;
• determine an interactive device, which acquires keys possessed by the plurality of edge computing devices, from the plurality of edge computing devices based on a set interaction condition and device information of the plurality of edge computing device;
• and
• monitor an operation status of the interactive device.
