Abstract

Provided is a system and method for providing closed circuit television (CCTV) information. A method configured as a computer may include generating and managing relevant information between a CCTV and a road route, receiving information about a course from an electronic device over a network, verifying a road route present in the received course, and verifying a CCTV present in the verified road route based on the relevant information, assigning an order associated with a heading direction of the course to CCTV information about the verified CCTV based on the relevant information, and transmitting the CCTV information to which the order is assigned, to the electronic device. Here, the CCTV information may be arranged based on the assigned order and displayed on a screen of the electronic device.

the assigning of the order comprises assigning an order associated with a heading direction of the road route to the verified CCTV.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a user interface that enables a user to select a plurality of CCTVs regardless of a course is displayed on the screen of the electronic device, and

the verifying comprises verifying the plurality of CCTVs selected by the user in response to a request generated at the electronic device through the user interface, and

the assigning of the order comprises assigning an order to each of the verified CCTVs in order in which the plurality of CCTVs is selected by the user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a user interface for displaying information about a CCTV of a congested area in the CCTV information to which the order is assigned is displayed on the screen of the electronic device, and

the verifying comprises verifying information about the CCTV of the congested area in the CCTV information to which the order is assigned, in response to a request generated at the electronic device through the user interface.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program to implement the method of claim 1.

8. A method configured as a computer, the method comprising:

setting a course based on information input from a user;

transmitting information about the set course to a server over a network;

receiving closed circuit television (CCTV) information about a CCTV to which an order is assigned, from the server; and

arranging the received CCTV information based on the assigned order and displaying the received CCTV information on a screen,

wherein at the server, relevant information between a CCTV and a road route is generated and managed, a road route present in the course is verified based on information about the set course, a CCTV present in the verified road route is verified based on the relevant information, an order associated with a heading direction of the course is assigned to CCTV information about the verified CCTV based on the relevant information, and the CCTV information to which the order is assigned is provided.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the received CCTV information comprises CCTV identification information and a thumbnail image corresponding to a CCTV image, and

the displaying comprises arranging, based on the assigned order, and displaying, on the screen, the CCTV identification information and the thumbnail image that correspond to each other.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the displaying comprises displaying a map screen or a course guide screen, and arranging the received CCTV information on a vertical column based on the assigned order and displaying the received CCTV information on one side of the map screen or the course guide screen.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

providing a function of selecting at least one CCTV information to which the order is assigned and a detour search function associated with the selected at least one CCTV information, and

the transmitting comprises further transmitting a request generated through the detour search function to the server, and

at the server, a new course that avoids a road route corresponding to the selected CCTV information is found and provided in response to the request.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the displaying comprises displaying a user interface for requesting a CCTV image, and the method further comprises:

requesting a CCTV image associated with a current location or a CCTV selected by the user to the server in response to an input of the user through the user interface, and

at the server, a CCTV present in a road route associated with the current location or a road route associated with the selected CCTV is verified based on the relevant information, and an order associated with a heading direction of the road route is assigned to the verified CCTV.
