SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING VIDEO FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON
Disclosed is a system for providing video for a visually impaired person. The system captures video of a subject to be captured using a video capturing unit, compresses the captured video, and employs wireless data transmission for transmitting the compressed video over a wireless communication network in real time. The system includes a video capturing unit for capturing video of a subject, and a video output unit for controlling the video capturing unit and displaying the video captured by the video capturing unit.
1 . A system for providing video for a visually impaired person comprising:
an video capturing unit configured to capture video of a subject; and
a master output unit configured to control the video capturing unit and to display the video captured by the video capturing unit,
wherein the video capturing unit includes:
a video capturing means configured to have at least one camera device for capturing the video of the subject;
an encoder configured to compress the video in a predetermined data format;
a first communication part configured to transmit the compressed video data to the master output unit over a wireless communication network; and
a controller configured to control the video capturing means, the encoder, and the first communication part, and
the master output unit includes:
an input configured to input a control signal for controlling the video capturing unit;
a second communication part configured to transmit the input control signal to the video capturing unit over the wireless communication network and to receive the processed video data from the video capturing unit;
a first decoder configured to decode the video data received from the video capturing unit;
a first display configured to output the decoded video data; and
a storage configured to store the received data.
2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first communication part includes a function as a wireless sharer, is set to a security mode, and transmits the data to the master output unit that is granted access to the video capturing unit.
3 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a slave output unit having a third communication part receiving the processed video data from the video capturing unit, a second decoder decoding the video data received from the video capturing unit, and a second display outputting the decoded video data.
4 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the video capturing unit further includes a driving means for rotating the video capturing means.
5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the video capturing unit further includes a microphone receiving audio data from outside; and
the storage synchronizes the video data and the audio data and stores the synchronized data.
