Image-capturing device controlled through internet and method for operating the same

Abstract

The present invention discloses an image-capturing device and method for receiving signals from an external network. The image-capturing device includes: an image-capturing module for capturing an image and for transforming the image into a digital image signal, a first processor electrically connected to the image-capturing module for controlling operation of the image-capturing module, a first memory electrically connected to the first processor for storing data and program codes of the first processor, a second processor electrically connected to the first processor for receiving operation signals to control operation of the image-capturing device, a second memory electrically connected to the second processor for storing data and program codes of the second processor, a network controller electrically connected to the second processor for receiving signals transmitted from an external network, and a third memory electrically connected to the first memory thereby storing the digital image signal, wherein when the network controller receives a first signal transmitted from the external network, the network controller transmits a second signal corresponding to the first signal to the second processor, and then the second processor transmits a third signal corresponding to the second signal to the first processor, and then the first processor controls the image-capturing module with the third signal to transmit the digital image signal transformed by the image-capturing module through the external network.
