Abstract

A system for monitoring event related data including a sensor data analyzer, an event analyzer and an actuator is disclosed. The sensor data analyzer detects events based on sensor data, the event analyzer couples to the sensor data analyzer and estimates the size of the detected entire events based on event related data of the detected events from the sensor data analyzer, and the actuator couples to the sensor data analyzer and the event analyzer and actuates a predetermined device based on the estimated size of the detected entire events.

Claims (39)

1. A method of surveillance executed by a computer, the method comprising:

controlling a camera for covering an event regarding first sensing data in response to receiving the first sensing data from a first sensor; and

controlling the camera to zoom out for covering the event regarding the first sensing data and an event regarding second sensing data in response to receiving the second sensing data by a second sensor after the camera is controlled by the first sensing data,

wherein the first sensor is configured to sense a first range wavelength, the first range of wavelength being different from a second range of wavelength which is sensed by the second sensor, and

the event regarding the second sensing data and the event regarding the first sensing data are at different locations.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first sensor is configured to detect thermal information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first sensor includes an infrared sensor.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first sensor positions is positioned at a place, the place being different from a camera position in which the camera is positioned.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising receiving predetermined information for controlling the camera to zoom out,

wherein the controlling the camera to zoom out is based on the predetermined information.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second sensing data is next acquired after the first sensing data.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first range of wavelength is not visible.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the camera further comprises a microphone, the microphone being used for sensing the second sensing data.

9. A device of surveillance, the device comprising:

at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:

control a camera for covering an event regarding first sensing data, in response to receiving the first sensing data from a first sensor; and

control the camera to zoom out for covering the event regarding the first sensing data and an event regarding second sensing data in response to receiving the second sensing data by a second sensor after the camera is controlled by the first sensing data,

wherein the first sensor is configured to sense a first range wavelength, the first range of wavelength being different from a second range of wavelength which is sensed by the second sensor, and

the event regarding the second sensing data and the event regarding the first sensing data are at different locations.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the first sensor is configured to detect thermal information.

11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the first sensor includes an infrared sensor.

12. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the first sensor positions is positioned at a place, the place being different from a camera position in which the camera is positioned.

13. The device according to claim 9 , wherein at least one processor is further configured to:

receive predetermined information for controlling the camera to zoom out; and

control the camera to zoom out based on the predetermined information.

14. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the second sensing data is next acquired after the first sensing data.

15. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the camera further comprises a microphone, the microphone being used for sensing the second sensing data.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to execute processing of:

controlling a camera for covering an event regarding first sensing data, in response to receiving the first sensing data from a first sensor; and

controlling the camera to zoom out for covering the event regarding the first sensing data and an event regarding second sensing data in response to receiving the second sensing data by a second sensor after the camera is controlled by the first sensing data,

wherein the first sensor is configured to sense a first range wavelength, the first range of wavelength being different from a second range of wavelength which is sensed by the second sensor, and

the event regarding the second sensing data and the event regarding the first sensing data are at different locations.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the first sensor is configured to detect thermal information.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 17 , wherein the first sensor includes an infrared sensor.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the first sensor positions is positioned at a place, the place being different from a camera position in which the camera is positioned.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , the program further causing the computer to execute processing of receiving predetermined information for controlling the camera to zoom out,

wherein the controlling the camera to zoom out is based on the predetermined information.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the second sensing data is next acquired after the first sensing data.
