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.
Claims6
An information management system, comprising:
- a firewall connected to an IoT device;
- and
- a management server configured to allow a user device to connect to the IoT device via the firewall based on a connection permission condition, wherein
- WebRTC technology is used for communication between the user device and the firewall such that P2P communication between the user device 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 such that, when establishing P2P communication between the user device and the firewall using WebRTC technology, (i) the user device can connect to the IoT device via the firewall using information related to the user device and the firewall that is exchanged, via the management server as the signaling server, between the user device and the firewall and (ii) data can be transmitted and received between the user device and the IoT device via the firewall.
An information management method, comprising:
- a connection permission step, with a management server, of allowing a device to connect to, via a firewall, an IoT device that is connected to the firewall based on a connection permission condition;
- and
- a communication establishing step of establishing P2P communication between the user device and the firewall using WebRTC technology by using the management server as a signaling server, wherein
- the information management method further comprises, at the communication establishing step, performing a transparent setting for the firewall such that (i) the user device can connect to the IoT device via the firewall using information related to the user device and the firewall that is exchanged, via the management server as the signaling server, between the user device and the firewall and (ii) data can be transmitted and received between the user device and the IoT device via the firewall.
A firewall connected to an IoT device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing computer readable program code, wherein
- the computer readable program code is configured to, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the firewall to have a transparency setting function of performing a transparency setting for the firewall by using a management server that is configured to allow a device connected to the IoT device to connect to the IoT device via the firewall based on a connection permission condition such that, when establishing P2P communication between the user device and the firewall using WebRTC technology, (i) the user device can connect to the IoT device via the firewall using information related to the user device and the firewall that is exchanged, via the management server as the signaling server, between the user device and the firewall and (ii) data can be transmitted and received between the user device and the IoT device via the firewall.
