  • Patent number: 11272243
    Abstract: A cloud recording system, a cloud recording server, and a cloud recording method are provided. The cloud recording system includes an image source device, a recording device, and a remote storage device. The image source device provides an audiovisual streaming data. The recording device is used for receiving the audiovisual streaming data. The recording device stores at least one recording time parameter and includes a capture unit and a conversion unit. The capture unit is used for capturing a partial audiovisual streaming data in accordance with the recording time parameter. The conversion unit is used for converting the partial audiovisual streaming data into a captured file. The recording device is configured to transmit the captured file to the external of the recording device. The remote storage device is connected to the recording device and is used for receiving and keeping the captured file.
