Information processing devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for performing information processing to output video content using video from multiple video sources including one or more pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)-enabled network cameras

A method comprising:

• executing switching of a video source based on video signals from multiple video sources transferred to a processor of an information video processing device via a computer network and a receiving node, wherein transferring the video signals to the processor comprises transferring to the processor video data without confirming reception by the receiving node with a transmitting node at the video source, the video source comprising a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)-enabled network camera selected from one or more PTZ-enabled network cameras;
• tracking automatically a specific subject in a PTZ operation, the PTZ operation comprising detecting one or more moving objects in a video comprising video data transferred to the processor without confirming reception by the receiving node with the transmitting node at the PTZ-enabled network camera;
• performing PTZ control of the PTZ-enabled network camera so that a detected moving object in the video is kept near a center of a screen;
• and
• outputting new video content comprising a new set of video data by a data transmission from the transmitting node that continues to retransmit the set of video data until notification of a reception by the receiving node has been confirmed based on information (1) indicating which video source of the video signals of the multiple video sources received at the receiving node was switched, (2) at what time, and (3) based on video data as outputted from the multiple video sources as received at the receiving node.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that when executed by a processor, causes a processor to:

• execute switching of a video source based on video signals from multiple video sources transferred to the processor via a computer network and a receiving node, wherein transferring the video signals to the processor comprises transferring to the processor video data without confirming reception by the receiving node with a transmitting node at the video source, the video source comprising a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)-enabled network camera selected from one or more PTZ-enabled network cameras;
• track automatically a specific subject in a PTZ operation, the PTZ operation comprising detecting one or more moving objects in a video comprising video data transferred to the processor without confirming reception by the receiving node with the transmitting node at the PTZ-enabled network camera;
• perform PTZ control of the PTZ-enabled network camera so that a detected moving object in the video is kept near a center of a screen;
• and
• output new video content comprising a set of new video data by a data transmission from the transmitting node that continues to retransmit the set of video data until notification of a reception by the receiving node has been confirmed based on information (1) indicating which video source of the video signals of the multiple video sources received at the receiving node was switched, (2) at what time, and (3) based on video data as outputted from the multiple video sources as received at the receiving node.
