Abstract
An electronic device and method for controlling a plurality of cameras includes determining a selected camera though a control system, displaying a route map of the selected camera, and calculating motion parameters of a touch motion on a touch panel of the electronic device. The motion parameters are sent to the control system to control the selected camera according to the motion parameters. The touch panel displays acquired video images from the selected camera.
Claims20
A method for controlling a plurality of cameras using an electronic device, the electronic device in communication with a control system that controls the cameras, the method comprising:
- determining a selected camera from the plurality of cameras though the control system;
- receiving a route map of the selected camera from the control system, and displaying the route map on a touch panel of the electronic device;
- detecting a touch motion on the route map through the touch panel;
- calculating motion parameters of the touch motion, the motion parameters comprising a distance and a direction of the touch motion;
- sending the motion parameters to the control system to control the selected camera according to the motion parameters;
- and
- acquiring video images from the selected camera through the control system, and displaying the video images on the touch panel.
An electronic device, the electronic device in communication with a control system that controls a plurality of cameras, the electronic device comprising:
- a storage system;
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
- a selection module operable to determine a selected camera from the plurality of cameras though the control system;
- a transmission module operable to receive a route map of the selected camera from the control system, and display the route map on a touch panel of the electronic device;
- a calculation module operable to detect a touch motion on the route map through the touch panel, and calculate motion parameters of the touch motion, the motion parameters comprising a distance and a direction of the touch motion;
- and
- the transmission module further operable to send the motion parameters to the control system to control the selected camera according to the motion parameters, acquire video images from the selected camera through the control system, and display the video images on the touch panel.
A storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to perform a method for controlling a plurality of cameras using an electronic device, the electronic device in communication with a control system that controls the cameras, the method comprising:
- determining a selected camera from the plurality of cameras though the control system;
- receiving a route map of the selected camera from the control system, and displaying the route map on a touch panel of the electronic device;
- detecting a touch motion on the route map through the touch panel;
- calculating motion parameters of the touch motion, the motion parameters comprising a distance and a direction of the touch motion;
- sending the motion parameters to the control system to control the selected camera according to the motion parameters;
- and
- acquiring video images from the selected camera through the control system, and displaying the video images on the touch panel.
