Abstract

According to one embodiment, a device includes an instruction unit which records in a recording medium, event-related data of when an event is detected and monitoring data of when the event occurs, and a display data output unit which outputs from the recording medium and plays as display data, the event-related data and a part of the monitoring data corresponding to the event-related data. If there is a specification input to the displayed event-related data, the monitoring data corresponding to the event-related data is played.

Claims

1. A data monitoring and management device comprising:

a network interface to obtain event-related data when at least a sensor detects an event being received as input;

a data management unit to (i) control at least an operation of a camera and an operation of a microphone and (ii) send one or both of first monitoring data from the camera and second monitoring data from the microphone to a recording unit;

a system controller controlling the data management unit, wherein

the system controller includes

an instruction unit to record, in the recording unit, the event-related data of when the event is detected and the one or both of the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data of when the event occurs; and

a display data output unit including an event filtering function that receives the event-related data from the recording unit, the display data output unit plays the event-related data as display data, wherein a part of at least one of the first and second monitoring data corresponding to the event-related data.

2. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a playback control unit, wherein the playback control unit and the display data output unit output, when there is a specification input to the displayed event-related data or the displayed part of the one or both of the first displayed monitoring data and the second displayed monitoring data, a stream of monitoring data corresponding to the event-related data from the display data output unit.

3. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, wherein the event-related data includes an event occurrence time when the event occurs and a type of sensor which detects the event.

4. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a display style processing unit, wherein the display style processing unit produces an array of the plurality of items of event-related data corresponding to the plurality of events classified by event category.

5. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a display style processing unit, wherein the display style processing unit filters a type of event according to an operation input and produces an array of the plurality of items of event-related data.

6. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, wherein the instruction unit determines a user'"'"'s manual input as the event.

7. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, wherein the instruction unit determines an input from a user'"'"'s portable device as the event.

8. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a display style processing unit, wherein the display style processing unit and the display data output unit output the plurality of items of monitoring data corresponding to the plurality of items of event-related data.

9. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a playback control unit and a display style processing unit, wherein the playback control unit, the display style processing unit, and the display data output unit display a list of the plurality of items of monitoring data corresponding to the plurality of items of event-related data, and when an item of monitoring data is selected from the list of the plurality of items of monitoring data, continuously plays the selected item of monitoring data for the corresponding recording time.

10. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a playback control unit, wherein the playback control unit continuously plays the plurality of items of monitoring data related to the plurality of events in a fast-forward mode or in an ordinary mode.

11. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising a playback control unit, wherein the playback control unit continuously plays the plurality of items of monitoring data related to the specified event in a fast-forward mode or in an ordinary mode.

12. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, further comprising an event processing unit which processes the plurality of items of event-related data, wherein the event processing unit integrates the plurality of items of event-related data corresponding to the specified events.

13. The data monitoring and management device of claim 1, wherein the instruction unit comprises a memory which caches the monitoring data, and when the event occurs, the instruction unit specifies as the monitoring data to be recorded in the memory, the monitoring data which has been recorded from at least a certain time before the event occurrence time to a certain time after the event occurrence time.

15. The data monitoring management device of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is a type of sensor which detects an opening-closing movement of a window or an opening-closing movement of a door or detects a certain sound.

16. The data monitoring management device of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is a type of sensor which includes a photoelectric converter.

17. The data monitoring management device of claim 1, wherein the camera and the microphone are located at a distance from a home gateway which includes the data management unit.

18. The data monitoring management device of claim 1, wherein the camera and the microphone are integrated into a home gateway which includes the data management unit.

19. The data monitoring management device of claim 1, further comprising a sensor control table, wherein

the sensor control table stores names of a plurality of registered sensors, information on positions of the sensors, and data for controlling the sensors, and

the names of the sensors and the information on the positions of the sensors are displayed on a user'"'"'s portable device.

20. The data monitoring management device of claim 1, wherein the recording unit is installed in (i) a home gateway which includes the data management unit or (ii) a server.

14. An event data monitoring method of a data monitoring and management device comprising a network interface to receive event-related data obtained when at least one of a plurality of sensors detects an event, a data management unit to control at least an operation of a camera and an operation of a microphone and send one or both of first monitoring data from the camera and second monitoring data from the microphone to a recording unit, and a system controller to control the data management unit, the event data monitoring method comprising:

recording in the recording unit, event-related data of when the event is detected and the one or both of the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data of when the event has occurred, and

filtering the event-related data outputting from the recording unit, and playing the filtered event-related data as display data, wherein a part of the at least one of the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data corresponding to the event-related data.
