Abstract

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

Claims (64)

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 for display of a plurality of cameras on a display 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;

transmitting correspondence relationship information, the correspondence relationship information being for display, on the display device, of a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of controllers; and

changing the correspondence relationship between one of the plurality of the cameras and one of the plurality of controllers based on the transmitted correspondence relationship information.

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

generating a control signal to control an operational setting of the selected at least one camera;

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

transmitting transmission information corresponding to the selected at least one camera.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 controller of the plurality of controllers based on the correspondence relationship information.

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

7. 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.

8. 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.

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

10. 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.

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

changing the correspondence relationship based on a user input.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the correspondence relationship represents which of the plurality of controllers is permitted to control a particular one of the plurality of cameras.

13. An information processing method, comprising:

transmitting list information for display of a plurality of cameras on a display 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;

transmitting correspondence relationship information, the correspondence relationship information being for display, on the display device, of a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of controllers; and

changing the correspondence relationship between one of the plurality of the cameras and one of the plurality of controllers based on the transmitted correspondence relationship information.

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

generating a control signal to control an operational setting of the selected at least one camera;

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

transmitting transmission information corresponding to the selected at least one camera.

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

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

16. The information processing method according to claim 13 , 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.

17. The information processing method according to claim 13 , wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is configured to communicate with a corresponding controller of the plurality of controllers based on the correspondence relationship information.

18. The information processing method according to claim 17 , wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras is further configured to wirelessly communicate with the corresponding controller of the plurality of controllers based on an Internet Protocol.

19. The information processing method according to claim 13 , 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.

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

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

21. The information processing method according to claim 13 , wherein the plurality of the cameras are configured to broadcast data.

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

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

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

changing the correspondence relationship based on a user input.

24. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

transmit list information for display of a plurality of cameras on a display device;

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

control transmission of image data generated by the selected at least one camera;

transmit correspondence relationship information, the correspondence relationship information being for display, on the display device, of a correspondence relationship between the plurality of the cameras and a plurality of controllers; and

change the correspondence relationship between one of the plurality of the cameras and one of the plurality of controllers based on the transmitted correspondence relationship information.

25. The information processing apparatus according to claim 24 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

generate a control signal to control an operational setting of the selected at least one camera;

transmit, to the selected at least one camera, the generated control signal to remotely control the operational setting of the selected at least one camera; and
