Abstract
A control device is provided to share data communication ports and control Close Circuit Televisions (CCTVs) Matrix Switches for network users. The control device issues a command to a Central Command Dispatch Server (CCDS). The control device identifies a best route to dispatch the command. The control device dispatches the command to a CCTV matrix switch via an appropriate data communication port according to the best route.
Claims29
An apparatus comprising:
- a Central Command Dispatch Server (CCDS) receiving a general command from a plurality of network users and identifying a best route to dispatch the general command;
- an interface server receiving the dispatched command from the CCDS and converting the dispatched command into a vendor specific protocol data;
- and
- a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) matrix switch receiving the vendor specific protocol data from the interface server via data communication ports, so that the network users can share the serial ports.
A method comprising:
- issuing a command to a Central Command Dispatch Server (CCDS);
- identifying a best route to dispatch the command;
- and
- dispatching the command to a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) matrix switch via an appropriate data communication port according to the best route.
An apparatus comprising:
- a Central Command Dispatch Server (CCDS) receiving a command;
- means for identifying a best route to dispatch the command;
- and
- means for dispatching the command to a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) matrix switch via an appropriate data communication port according to the best route.
A computer readable medium containing executable instruction which, when executed in the process system, causes the system to perform a method for sharing data communication ports by a plurality of network users, the method comprising:
- issuing a command to a Central Command Dispatch Server (CCDS);
- identifying a best route to dispatch the command;
- and
- dispatching the command to a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) matrix switch via an appropriate data communication port according to the best route.
