Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for transmitting images. The method includes: receiving an IP connection request sent from a computer; acquiring an IP address of the computer according to the received IP connection request; acquiring screenshots and direction information related to the screenshots; and sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via IP Layer according to the IP address. In addition to screenshots, the embodiment also transmits the direction information related to the screenshots so that a receiving end may display better screenshots according to the direction information, thus improving the display effect.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting images, comprising:

receiving an IP connection request sent from a computer;

acquiring an IP address of the computer according to the received IP connection request;

acquiring screenshots and direction information related to the screenshots; and

sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via IP Layer according to the IP address.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the direction information related to the screenshots comprises:

reading the direction information from a locally preset storage location for storing the direction information related to the screenshots.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the direction information related to the screenshots comprises:

determining the direction information related to the screenshots according to a length-width ratio of the screenshots.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the direction information related to the screenshots comprises:

determining the direction information related to the screenshots according to direction information determined by a local direction sensor.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

compressing the screenshots;

acquiring the compressed screenshots; and

sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via the IP Layer, wherein the compressed screenshots and the direction information is sent to the computer via the IP Layer.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the IP connection request is a Real-time Transport Streaming Protocol (RTSP) session connection request based on the IP Layer, and the RTSP session connection request comprises a UDP port number for transmission of the screenshots.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via the IP Layer according to the IP address comprises:

sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer having the IP address and the UDP port number via the RTSP session of the IP Layer.

8. A method for receiving images, comprising:

sending an IP connection request to a terminal device according to an IP address of the terminal device stored locally;

receiving screenshots and direction information related to the screenshots sent from the terminal device via IP Layer; and

displaying the screenshots according to the direction information.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein displaying the screenshots according to the direction information comprises:

controlling a scale and a size of a window for displaying the screenshots according to the direction information; and

displaying the screenshots in the window.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the IP connection request is an RTSP session connection request based on the IP Layer, and the RTSP session connection request comprises a UDP port number for transmission of the screenshots.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein receiving the screenshots and the direction information related to the screenshots sent from the terminal device via the IP Layer comprises:

receiving the screenshots and the direction information related to the screenshots sent from the terminal device on the UDP port number via the RTSP session of the IP Layer.

12. A device for transmitting images, comprising:

a processor;

a memory configured to store instruction executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to perform;

receiving an IP connection request sent from a computer;

acquiring an IP address of the computer according to the received IP connection request;

acquiring screenshots and direction information related to the screenshots; and

sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via IP Layer according to the IP address.

13. The device of claim 12, wherein acquiring the direction information related to the screenshots comprises:

reading the direction information from a locally preset storage location for storing the direction information related to the screenshots.

14. The device of claim 12, wherein acquiring the direction information related to the screenshots comprises:

determining the direction information related to the screenshots according to a length-width ratio of the screenshots.

15. The device of claim 12, wherein acquiring the direction information related to the screenshots comprises:

determining the direction information related to the screenshots according to direction information determined by a local direction sensor.

16. The device of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

compressing the screenshots;

acquiring the compressed screenshots; and

sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via the IP Layer, wherein the compressed screenshots and the direction information is sent to the computer via the IP Layer.

17. The device of claim 12, wherein the IP connection request is a Real-time Transport Streaming Protocol (RTSP) session connection request based on the IP Layer, and the RTSP session connection request comprises a UDP port number for transmission of the screenshots.

18. The device of claim 12, wherein sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer via the IP Layer according to the IP address comprises:

sending the screenshots and the direction information to the computer having the IP address and the UDP port number via the RTSP session of the IP Layer.
