ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND SWITCHING METHOD FOR THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for switching a monitored location of a plurality of image capture devices using an electronic device, the monitored location being monitored by the image captured devices, the method comprising:
- setting a reference direction of the electronic device and a corresponding reference image capture device of the plurality of image capture devices;
obtaining a current direction of the electronic device detected by an electronic compass chip of the electronic device;
determining a current image capture device corresponding to the current direction of the electronic device from the plurality of image capture devices; and
receiving captured images from the current image capture device, and displaying the received captured images on a display screen of the electronic device.

Abstract
A method for switching a monitored location of a plurality of image capture devices using an electronic device obtains a current direction of the electronic device, and determines a current image capture device corresponding to the current direction of the electronic device from the plurality of image capture devices. The method further sends a switch command to the current image capture device, receives captured images from the current image capture device, and displays the received captured images on a display screen of the electronic device.
