  • Patent number: 6714237
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically storing an intrusion scene, and a method for controlling the apparatus using a wireless signal are provided. According to the apparatus and methods, an image is photographed every time a time interval elapses, converted into digital signals and stored. The stored signals are divided into a number of regions. The signals are sampled within each region, and data is extracted. It is determined whether an intrusion has occurred by comparing the extracted image data with image data extracted immediately before. If it is determined that intrusion occurred, scene data corresponding to the image data in which the intrusion is recognized is stored, and notification that an intrusion has occurred is wirelessly transmitted. Functions for these operations are set by a remote controller using keypads. By doing so, if an intruder intrudes into an area, the unmanned monitoring apparatus provides an intrusion alarm and at the same time photographs the intrusion scene.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically storing an intrusion scene, and a method for controlling the apparatus using a wireless signal are provided. According to the apparatus and methods, an image is photographed every time a predetermined time interval elapses, converted into digital signals and stored. The stored signals are divided into a predetermined number of regions. The signals are sampled within each region, and data is extracted. It is determined whether or not intrusion occurred by comparing the extracted image data with image data extracted immediately before. If it is determined that intrusion occurred, scene data corresponding to the image data in which intrusion is recognized is stored, and notification that intrusion occurred is wirelessly transmitted. Functions for these operations are set by a remote controller using minimum keypads.
