Abstract
The information management system includes a firewall connected to a network camera (i.e., a device) having an image capturing function and a sound collecting function and a management server performing an authentication process for authenticating a user using the user terminal between the management server and the user terminal and allowing the user terminal to connect to the network camera via the firewall. The information management system is configured to acquire, via the firewall, media data including an image captured by the network camera and an audio collected by the network camera from the network camera to which the user terminal is allowed to connect based on a connection permission condition defined in the management server.
Claims11
An information management system, comprising:
- a firewall that is connected to a device having at least one of an image capturing function and a sound collecting function;
- and
- a management server that is configured to:
- perform an authentication process to authenticate a user who uses a user terminal between the user terminal and the management server;
- and
- allow the user terminal to connect to the device via the firewall, wherein
- the user terminal for which the authentication process was performed by the management server is allowed to transmit and receive, via the firewall between the user terminal and the device to which the user terminal is allowed to connect via the firewall based on a connection permission condition that is defined in the manager server, media data including at least one of a video captured by the device and an audio collected by the device,
- WebRTC technology is used for communication between the user terminal and the firewall,
- P2P communication between the user terminal and the firewall is established using the management server as a signaling server, and
- the firewall has a transparency setting function of performing a transparency setting for the firewall based on a SDP (Session Description Protocol) such that, when establishing P2P communication between the user terminal and the firewall using WebRTC technology, (i) the user terminal can connect to the device via the firewall using information related to the user terminal and the firewall that is exchanged, via the management server as the signaling server, between the user terminal and the firewall and (ii) the media data of the device can be transmitted and received between the device and the terminal device via the firewall.
