  • Patent number: 10516858
    Abstract: A plurality of fixed cameras installed in a driving area on a highway and a server device are connected via a network NW. The server device displays the captured images of the fixed cameras on the fixed camera monitor and requests camera position information and zooming position information to respective fixed cameras in response to occurrence of a traffic accident or the like in the driving area. In response to this request, the fixed cameras transmit the camera position information and the zooming position information to the server device. Based on camera position information and zooming position information, the server device derives the occurrence position of a traffic accident or the like, instructs a predetermined drone to capture the image around the occurrence position such as a traffic accident, and displays the captured image transmitted from the drone on a drone monitor.

  • Patent number: 7529810
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing a DDNS server, a DDNS client terminal and a DDNS system which maintains high security while using DHCP and allows an access to terminals having the same IP address as well as data updates. The DDNS server includes a terminal management table storing the domain name, global IP address and port number of a DDNS client terminal, characterized in that the terminal management section checks whether a same global IP address is present in the terminal management table when a request to overwrite a global IP address is made from a DDNS client terminal and, in case the same global IP address is absent, permits overwriting of the global IP address, and in case the same global IP address is present, checks the port number, and in case the same port number is detected, inhibits overwriting of the global IP address, and in case the port number is different, permits overwriting of the global IP address.

  • Patent number: 7389524
    Abstract: An image server and an image communication system capable of displaying images of plural image servers differing in IP address on a browser window by using a versatile browser, and a methods for controlling them. Plural image servers communicate with a client computer displaying image information presented from image servers through a network. Of the plural image servers, the controller of a certain image server receives a request from the client computer, and displays the image data of the image server and image data of other plural image servers simultaneously on the browser window of the client computer. Accordingly, the controller of the designated image server creates display information, and supplies the information to the client computer.

  • Publication number: 20070081544
    Abstract: A gateway apparatus obtains IPv6 address information assigned to a monitoring camera by using a camera search unit and assigns a host name to the monitoring camera by using a camera information registration unit, the monitoring camera being connected to the gateway apparatus via a network. The gateway apparatus stores the host name and the IPv6 address of the monitoring camera in a camera information database, and stores the host name and the IPv6 address of the monitoring camera on a DDNS server in association with the host name assigned to the gateway apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20040125801
    Abstract: A intermediary device relays a data packet communicated between two networks. The intermediary device extracts a host name from the data packet transmitted from a transmission-source network, and translates the host name to an address in a transmission-destination network. This function allows an access to a plurality of servers in the transmission-destination network with respective host names. When the transmission-source network is a wide area network, address independent access is allowed because the host name is always constant even if a global IP address is updated. A directory can be placed after the host name, so that a common directory can be used for the plurality of terminals.
