Abstract

An information processing apparatus including circuitry is provided. The circuitry is configured to transmit list information indicating a plurality of cameras for display on a display device. The circuitry is configured to receive a selection of at least one camera from the plurality of cameras, and control transmission of image data generated by the selected at least one camera. The circuitry is configured to generate a control signal for controlling an operational setting of the selected at least one camera, and transmit the generated control signal to the selected at least one camera. The circuitry is configured to transmit transmission information indicating a transmission state of the selected at least one camera, and transmit correspondence relationship information indicating a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of communication devices. Further, the circuitry is configured to change the correspondence relationship information.

Claims (60)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

transmitting list information indicating a plurality of cameras for display on a display device to an external device;

receive a selection of at least one camera from the plurality of cameras based on the transmitted list information;

controlling transmission of image data generated by the selected at least one camera to the external device;

generating a control signal for controlling an operational setting of the selected at least one camera based on the transmitted image data;

transmitting the generated control signal to remotely control the operational setting of the selected at least one camera to the selected at least one camera;

transmitting transmission information indicating a transmission state of the selected at least one camera to the external device;

transmitting correspondence relationship information indicating a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of communication devices; and

changing the correspondence relationship information indicating the correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and the plurality of communication devices.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

transmitting setting information of the selected at least one camera for concurrent display with the list information on the display device to the external device.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

transmitting parameters of each camera of the plurality of the cameras and transmission states of each camera of the plurality of the cameras for display on the display device to the external device.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is configured to communicate with a corresponding communication device of the plurality of communication devices based on the correspondence relationship information.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 4 , wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is further configured to wirelessly communicate with the corresponding communication device of the plurality of communication devices based on an Internet Protocol.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

managing a first file that is associated with the selected at least one camera,

wherein the first file is different from a second file which includes the image data.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

converting the image data into a file with a file format.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the cameras are configured to broadcast data.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

transmitting a model name of the selected at least one camera for display on the display device to the external device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , the operations further comprising:

changing the correspondence relationship information based on a user input.

11. An information processing method, comprising:

transmitting list information indicating a plurality of cameras for display on a display device to an external device;

receive a selection of at least one camera from the plurality of cameras based on the transmitted list information;

controlling transmission of image data generated by the selected at least one camera to the external device;

generating a control signal for controlling an operational setting of the selected at least one camera based on the transmitted image data;

transmitting the generated control signal to remotely control the operational setting of the selected at least one camera to the selected at least one camera;

transmitting transmission information indicating a transmission state of the selected at least one camera to the external device;

transmitting correspondence relationship information indicating a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of communication devices; and

changing the correspondence relationship information indicating the correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and the plurality of communication devices.

12. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting setting information of the selected at least one camera for concurrent display with the list information on the display device to the external device.

13. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting parameters of each camera of the plurality of the cameras and transmission states of each camera of the plurality of the cameras for display on the display device to the external device.

14. The information processing method according to claim 11 , wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is configured to communicate with a corresponding communication device of the plurality of communication devices based on the correspondence relationship information.

15. The information processing method according to claim 14 , wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is further configured to wirelessly communicate with the corresponding communication device of the plurality of communication devices based on an Internet Protocol.

16. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

managing a first file that is associated with the selected at least one camera,

wherein the first file is different from a second file which includes the image data.

17. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

converting the image data into a file with a file format.

18. The information processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the plurality of the cameras are configured to broadcast data.

19. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting a model name of the selected at least one camera for display on the display device to the external device.

20. The information processing method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

changing the correspondence relationship information based on a user input.

21. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
