JP2000278671A - Remote monitor terminal having provision for video telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent shop lifting by allowing a remote monitor terminal having provision for a video phone to informs a specific video phone a signal from a shop lifter prevention system and to output a picture after and before the production of the signal. SOLUTION: An external camera of a remote monitor terminal having provision for a video phone at a shop side adopts a robot camera capable of panning and zooming in every direction to capture a picture through 4 or 6-division frame or the like. The remote monitor terminal having provision for a video phone at the shop uses the robot camera or a monitor camera 10 with a voice input to pick up a voice signal. A video buffer 3 captures a plurality of pictures after and before a point of time when an alarm signal of a shop lifting prevention unit is raised and a telecontrol unit 7 is used for remote control. A remote monitor terminal photographs a plurality of pictures before and after the shop lifting prevention unit senses the face of a criminal and a video printer 8 can print out an optimum picture from pictures stored in the video buffer 3 through remote control by the telecontrol unit 7. The location of the video printers 8 is classified into remote connection in a headquarters and a maintenance center and local connection at each shop.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote monitoring device and a security device in a security reporting system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an image of a remote security device of this kind, for example, a surveillance camera linked to a shoplifting prevention device installed in a store, is optimally selected at a remote place and printed and photographed. There was no device to make a selection and print at the store.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] We do not want to confirm with shoplifters in large stores where customers come and go frequently, but we want to secure a photo of shoplifters in order to prevent recurrence. There are many stores.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device of the present invention uses the videophone itself at the headquarters side, and the video is transmitted from the store side to the ITU-TH. H.261 compliant, audio is ITU-T
G. FIG. The videophone system of two-way communication is used as a remote monitoring system of one-way communication by transmitting data according to 711 or the like. The videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device at the store captures images from an external camera, such as a robot camera capable of panning and zooming in the left, right, up and down directions, and a 4-split frame and a 6-split frame. In the store-side videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device, voice is taken in from a robot camera or a monitoring camera having voice input as an external microphone. Further, a plurality of both images before and after at that time are fetched into a video buffer by an alarm signal of an anti-shoplifting device, and remote control is performed by a tele-con- trol device. Output video printers can be set up in the headquarters or maintenance center, or in a shop.

[0005]

By setting and using as described above, the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device of the present invention takes a plurality of images before and after the anti-shoplifting machine detects the face of the criminal, and records the video buffer from the recorded video buffer into the teleconversion device. An optimum image can be output by a video printer by remote control. The placement of video printers is divided into remote connection at the headquarters and maintenance center and local connection at the store. In any case, you can get a photo of the shoplifter's face, so you can show it to the store employees to prevent recurrence and mark it the next time you enter the shop to suppress the shoplifting site.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 2 connected to a shoplifting prevention device 1 as a first embodiment. Since the criminal who passed the shoplifting prevention device 1 installed at the entrance of the store 3 has a product with a sensing tag, the output signal of the shoplifting prevention device 1 flows to the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 2. As a result, connection to the videophone 6 of the security center 5 connected via the ISDN line 4 is started. At the same time, an alarm signal flows from the anti-shoplifting device 2 to the video buffer 3, but at that time, the video buffer 3
The surveillance camera 10 has already stored a plurality of still images in the internal memory. The walking speed is set at 5 km / hour, the best time photographed image is selected, the tele-conversion device 7 is operated from the videophone 6 of the security center 5, the optimum image of the video buffer 3 is selected, and output by the video printer 8. And sends it to the store 11. FIG. 2 shows a configuration of a videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 2 connected to a shoplifting prevention device 1 as a second embodiment. Since the criminal who passed the shoplifting prevention device 1 installed at the entrance of the store 3 has a product with a sensing tag, the output signal of the shoplifting prevention device 1 flows to the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 2. With this, the connection to the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 6 of the security center 5 is started.
At the same time, an alarm signal flows from the anti-shoplifting device 2 to the video buffer 3, but at that time, the video buffer 3 has already stored a plurality of still images in the internal memory. By selecting the image captured at the optimal time among them, operating the tele-conversion equipment 7 from the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 6 of the security center 5, selecting the optimal image in the video buffer 3, and installing the video in the store Output by the printer 8. Third Embodiment As a third embodiment, a videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 9 integrated with a teleconverter connected to a shoplifting prevention device 1
3 is shown in FIG. Since the criminal who passed the anti-shoplifting machine 4 installed at the entrance of the shop 3 has a product with a sensing tag, the output signal of the anti-shoplifting machine 1 flows to the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 2. With this, the connection to the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device 6 of the security center 5 is started. At the same time, an alarm signal flows from the anti-shoplifting device 2 to the video buffer 3, but at that time, the video buffer 3
Are already stored in the internal memory as a plurality of still images. By selecting the image captured at the optimum time among them, the videophone remote monitoring terminal device 9 having a telecon function is operated from the videophone remote monitoring terminal device 6 of the security center 5 to select the optimal image of the video buffer 3. , Store surfing 3
Is output by the video printer 8 installed in the printer.

[0007]

As described above, the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device of the present invention is compatible with the international standard ITU-TH.
H.261 and ITU-TG. Because it complies with G.711, the headquarters can use standard products for ISDN-compatible videophones, and can remotely control the videophone-compatible remote monitoring terminal device of the present invention from the videophone, and By linking, the criminal's image can be optimally selected at a remote location and printed. In this case, both the case where the video printer is installed on the videophone compatible remote monitoring terminal device side of the present invention and the case where it is installed on the ISDN compatible videophone side are possible. With these configurations, a photograph of the face of the shoplifter can be secured without contacting the shoplifter at the store. It goes without saying that these equipment configurations enable the business service company to perform work on behalf of these stores in place of the store operation headquarters.
