  • Publication number: 20090327436
    Abstract: An instant messaging network control module has a processor, a network connecting module, a connecting interface and a memory. The network connecting module is used to connect to an instant messaging server. The connecting interface is used to electronically connect to an outer controlled device. The memory stores a local machine account and a password of the network control module for logging on to the instant message service, a client account and an automatic operating process. The automatic operating process is executed by the processor to allow the network control module to log on to the instant messaging service, receive instant messages sent from a client device logged on to the instant messaging service with the client account and send a corresponding operating command to the outer controlled device. Therefore the network control module provides an easy and cheap way to remotely control the outer controlled device.

  • Publication number: 20090055486
    Abstract: An instant messaging network camera has a processor, an image sensor, an audio receiver, an input device, a network connecting module and memory. The processor has a video and an audio encoder. The image sensor is electronically connected to the processor and captures images. The network connecting module is used to connect to an instant messaging service server over the Internet and is electronically connected to the processor. The memory is electronically connected to the processor and has an automatic operating process. The automatic operating process is executed by the processor to log on to an instant messaging service, receive viewing requests sent from a client device also logged on to the instant messaging service and send images to the client device. Therefore, a user can set up and control the network camera easily over the instant messaging service for increased security.
