Radio video transmission system and method
First Claim
1. A radio video transmission system which transmits video data from a transmitter to a receiver by radio, the radio video transmission system comprising:
- a detecting means for detecting interruption of communication of data periodically transmitted by the receiver; and
a channel switching means for switching a channel through which video data is transmitted to the receiver, in response to the detection, by the detecting means, of the interruption of the communication, whereinthe channel switching unit comprises a timer that counts a channel switching time to set a power saving mode when a predetermined time has been clocked.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for radio video transmission which switches a radio frequency band or a compression rate for video data to enable appropriate video transmission even if a radio environment is degraded. A pair of a transmitter and a receiver transmits video data in the radio environment. The receiver periodically transmits a status message to the transmitter. If the transmitter fails to receive reception of the periodically transmitted status message, the failure is used as a trigger to cause the transmitter to switch the channel (radio frequency band) or the video data compression rate. It is therefore possible to switch the radio frequency band or video data compression rate for the transmitter and receiver even if the radio environment is degraded.

7. A method for radio video transmission which transmits video data from a transmitter to a receiver by radio, the method comprising:
-
causing a receiver to periodically transmit video data; detecting interruption of communication of data periodically transmitted by the receiver; and switching a channel through which video data is transmitted to the receiver, when the interruption of the data communication with the receiver is detected, wherein the channel switching unit comprises a timer that counts a channel switching time to set a power saving mode when a predetermined time has been clocked.
