Image pickup apparatus and image distributing method
First Claim
1. An image pickup apparatus capable of distributing a picked up image through a network, the image pickup apparatus comprising:
- image pickup means for picking up an image of a predetermined monitoring area and outputting an image signal thereof;
a plurality of encoding means for simultaneously converting the image signal into video data of different encoding methods;
moving-object detecting means for detecting a moving object entered the monitoring area based on the image signal;
unmoving-object detecting means for detecting an unmoving object in the monitoring area based on the image signal; and
transmission control means for controlling distribution of the video data to the network based on a detection result generated by the moving-object detecting means and the unmoving-object detecting means.

Abstract
An image pickup apparatus capable of distributing a picked up image through a network is provided. The image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit configured to pick up an image of a predetermined monitoring area and output an image signal thereof; a plurality of encoding units configured to simultaneously convert the image signal into video data of different encoding methods; a moving-object detecting unit configured to detect a moving object entered the monitoring area based on the image signal; an unmoving-object detecting unit configured to detect an unmoving object in the monitoring area based on the image signal; and a transmission control unit configured to control distribution of the video data to the network based on a detection result generated by the moving-object detecting unit and the unmoving-object detecting unit.

8. An image distributing method for distributing a picked up image through a network, the image distributing method comprising the steps of:
-
simultaneously converting an image signal that is obtained by picking up an image of a predetermined monitoring area into video data of different encoding methods;
detecting a moving object entered the monitoring area based on the image signal;
detecting an unmoving object in the monitoring area based on the image signal; and
controlling distribution of the video data to the network based on a detection result of the moving object and the unmoving object.
