Abstract

An apparatus includes: an image capturing module configured to capture an image; a converting module configured to convert a first image with a first resolution to a second image with a second resolution; a storing module configured to store the first image and the second image; a communication module configured to receive a wireless signal; and a processor configured to functionally be connected with the image capturing module, the converting module, the storing module and the communication module, wherein the processor is configured to receive, from an external device, a request signal for requesting information related to the second image; generate a metadata related to the second image by analyzing the second image; and transmit, to the external device, an additional information about the second image based on the metadata.

Claims (35)

1. A server system comprising:

a converter configured to convert a first image with a first resolution to a second image with a second resolution;

a storing module configured to store at least one of the first image and the second image;

a communication module configured to transceive a wireless signal; and

a processor configured to functionally be connected with the converting module, the storing module and the communication module, the processor being configured to:

receive, from an imaging device, the first image captured by the imaging device;

receive, from an external device, a request signal for requesting information related to the second image;

generate a metadata related to the second image by analyzing the second image; and

transmit, to the external device, an additional information about the second image based on the metadata.

2. The server device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit, to the external device, at least a portion of a metadata related to the first image.

3. The server device of claim 2 , wherein the at least a portion of the metadata related to the first image is transmitted when the communication module receives, from the external device, a request signal for requesting information related to the first image.

4. The server device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the metadata related to the first image by analyzing the first image.

5. The server device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to store the metadata related to the first image.

6. The server device of claim 1 , wherein generating the metadata related to the second image includes a machine learning technique.

7. The server device of claim 1 , wherein the second resolution has a lower resolution than the first resolution.

8. The server device of claim 1 , wherein the second image has a smaller bandwidth than the first image.

9. The server device of claim 6 , wherein the converter does not convert a specific image of the first image captured by the image capturing module.

10. The server device of claim 9 , wherein a specific image is a best shot image.

11. A video apparatus comprising:

an image capturing module configured to capture a first image;

a converter configured to convert the first image with a first resolution to a second image with a second resolution;

a storing module configured to store the first image and the second image;

a communication module configured to receive a wireless signal; and

a processor configured to functionally be connected with the image capturing module, the converting module, the storing module and the communication module, the processor being configured to:

receive, from an external device, a request signal for requesting metadata information related to the second image;

generate metadata related to the second image by analyzing the second image; and

transmit, to the external device, the requested metadata information about the second image based on the metadata.

12. The video apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit, to the external device, at least a portion of a metadata related to the first image.

13. The video apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least a portion of the metadata related to the first image is transmitted when the communication module receives, from the external device, a request signal for requesting information related to the first image.

14. The video apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the metadata related to the first image by analyzing the first image.

15. The video apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to store the metadata related to the first image.

16. The video apparatus of claim 11 , wherein generating the metadata related to the second image includes a machine learning technique.

17. The video apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the converter does not convert a specific image of the first image captured by the image capturing module.

18. The video apparatus of claim 17 , wherein a specific image is a best shot image.

19. The video apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the second resolution has a lower resolution than the first resolution.
