Abstract

A method and a system for video surveillance based on an interactive voice response IVR technology, including: receiving, by a video IVR system, a video call request sent by a video terminal, where the video call request includes an identifier of the video terminal and a video call service code; querying, according to the identifier of the video terminal and the video call service code, a video surveillance system for a surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal; receiving, the surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal and is returned by the video surveillance system, and providing the surveillance device list for the video terminal; and obtaining, according to selection for the surveillance device by the video terminal, a media stream surveilled by the selected surveillance device from the video surveillance system, and providing the media stream for the video terminal for playing.

Claims

1. A video surveillance method based on an interactive voice response IVR technology, comprising:

receiving, by a video IVR system, a video call request sent by a video terminal, wherein the video call request comprises an identifier of the video terminal and a video call service code;

querying, by the video IVR system, according to the identifier of the video terminal and the video call service code, a video surveillance system for a surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal;

receiving, by the video IVR system, the surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal and is returned by the video surveillance system, and providing the surveillance device list for the video terminal; and

according to selection for the surveillance device by the video terminal, obtaining, by the video IVR system, a media stream surveilled by the selected surveillance device from the video surveillance system, and providing the media stream for the video terminal for playing.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the video surveillance system, a surveillance device query request which is from the video terminal and is sent by the video IVR system, and sending the surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal to the video IVR system;

sending, by the video IVR system, a device that needs to be surveilled and is selected by the video terminal to the video surveillance system; and

sending, by the video surveillance system, the media stream surveilled by the selected surveillance device to the video IVR system.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the querying, by the video IVR system, according to the identifier of the video terminal and the video call service code, the video surveillance system for the surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal comprises:

querying, by the video IVR system, according to the identifier of the video terminal and the video call service code, the video surveillance system for a client list which corresponds to the video terminal;

returning, by the video surveillance system, the client list to the video terminal via the video IVR system; and

receiving, by the video IVR system, a specific client selected by the video terminal, and querying the video surveillance system for a surveillance device list which corresponds to the specific client.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the video IVR system, a pan/tilt/zoom control request sent by the video terminal; and

parsing, by the video IVR system, the pan/tilt/zoom control request to obtain a user operation type, and notifying the video surveillance system to perform pan/tilt/zoom control on the selected surveillance device.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

reporting, by the video surveillance system, an alarm event to the video IVR system when the alarm event is detected; and

notifying, by the video IVR system, the video terminal of the alarm event via at least one manner of a video call, a voice call or a short message.

6. A video IVR system, comprising:

a first receiving apparatus, configured to receive a video call request sent by a video terminal, wherein the video call request comprises an identifier of the video terminal and a video surveillance service code;

a first sending apparatus, configured to query, according to the identifier of the video terminal, a video surveillance system for a surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal;

a second receiving apparatus, configured to receive the surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal and is returned by the video surveillance system, and provide the surveillance device list for the video terminal; and

a second sending apparatus, configured to obtain, according to selection for the surveillance device by the video terminal, a media stream surveilled by the selected surveillance device from the video surveillance system, and provide the media stream for the video terminal for playing.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein

the first receiving apparatus is further configured to receive a pan/tilt/zoom control request of the video terminal;

and

the first sending apparatus is further configured to parse the pan/tilt/zoom control request to obtain a user operation type, and notify the video surveillance system to perform pan/tilt/zoom control on the selected surveillance device.

8. The system according to claim 6, wherein the second receiving apparatus is further configured to receive an alarm event reported by the video surveillance system;

and

the second sending apparatus is further configured to notify the video terminal of the alarm event via at least one manner of a video call, a voice call or a short message.

9. A video surveillance system, comprising:

a query processing apparatus, configured to receive a surveillance device query request which is from a video terminal and is sent by a video IVR system, wherein a surveillance device list which corresponds to the video terminal is returned to the video terminal via the video IVR system; and

a media stream processing apparatus, configured to transmit, according to selection for a surveillance device by the video terminal, a media stream surveilled by the selected surveillance device to the video terminal via the video IVR system.

10. The video surveillance system according to claim 9, further comprising:

a pan/tilt/zoom control apparatus, configured to receive a pan/tilt/zoom control command of the video IVR system, and perform pan/tilt/zoom control on the selected surveillance device.

11. The video surveillance system according to claim 9, further comprising:

an alarm apparatus, configured to report an alarm event to the video IVR system when the alarm event is detected, and enable the video IVR system to notify the video terminal of the alarm event via at least one manner of a video call, a voice call or a short message.
