Monitoring camera system

Abstract

In a monitoring camera system, a master device registers a smartphone and a wireless router therein in advance. If sensor detection information is received from a human sensor, the master device requests a monitoring camera to transmit image/audio data, and sends image/audio data transmitted from the monitoring camera to the smartphone via the wireless router. The smartphone displays the image data sent from the monitoring camera on a touch panel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A monitoring camera system comprising:
 a monitoring camera; and   a master device which, in operation, communicates with the monitoring camera and is connected to a fixed telephone network to perform calls to other fixed telephones; wherein,
 when a wireless router for performing wireless communication with a mobile phone terminal is not registered at the master device, the master device, in response to receiving a defined operation on the master device, establishes a wireless connection to the mobile phone terminal and transmits a setup request signal to the mobile phone terminal, 
 the master device, in response to receiving router setup information of the wireless router from the mobile phone terminal, registers the wireless router at the master device according to the router setup information and establishes a wireless connection to the registered wireless router, and 
 the master device, in response to receiving instruction for image display from the mobile phone terminal via the registered wireless router, transmits image data transmitted from the monitoring camera to the mobile phone terminal via the registered wireless router. 
   
     
     
         2 . The monitoring camera system of  claim 1 , wherein,
 when the mobile phone terminal is not registered at the master device, the master device, in response to receiving terminal information from the mobile phone terminal via the registered wireless router, registers the mobile phone terminal at the master device according to the terminal information.   
     
     
         3 . The monitoring system of  claim 2 , wherein,
 the master device, in operation, communicates with the monitoring camera according to a digital enhanced cordless telecommunication (DECT) method and communicates with a slave device according to the DECT method.   
     
     
         4 . The monitoring system of  claim 1 , wherein,
 the master device, in operation, communicates with the monitoring camera according to a digital enhanced cordless telecommunication (DECT) method and communicates with a slave device according to the DECT method.   
     
     
         5 . A method executed by a master device connectable to a fixed telephone network to perform calls to other fixed telephones, the method comprising:
 when a wireless router for performing wireless communication with a mobile phone terminal is not registered at the master device, in response to receiving a defined operation on the master device, establishing a wireless connection to the mobile phone terminal,   transmitting a setup request signal to the mobile phone terminal, receiving router setup information of the wireless router from the mobile phone terminal,   registering the wireless router at the master device according to the router setup information and establishing a wireless connection to the registered wireless router,   receiving instruction for image display from the mobile phone terminal via the registered wireless router, and   transmitting image data transmitted from the monitoring camera to the mobile phone terminal via the registered wireless router.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , comprising:
 when the mobile phone terminal is not registered at the master device, in response to receiving terminal information from the mobile phone terminal via the registered wireless router, registering the mobile phone terminal at the master device according to the terminal information.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , comprising:
 communicating with the monitoring camera according to a digital enhanced cordless telecommunication (DECT) method and communicating with a slave device according to the DECT method.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , comprising:
 communicating with the monitoring camera according to a digital enhanced cordless telecommunication (DECT) method and communicating with a slave device according to the DECT method.
