Wireless video monitoring on a mobile device
First Claim
1. A wireless video monitoring system comprising:
- a camera for capturing a live video image;
a computer coupled to the camera and comprising a software-based video encoder for encoding and streaming the video image and a software-based video decoder for decoding camera control information encoded in a video compression protocol; and
a mobile device comprising another software-based video decoder for receiving, decoding and displaying the video image and another software-based video encoder for encoding the camera control information in the video-compression protocol, the mobile device transmitting the video compressed encoded camera control information to the computer for full duplex video operation, and the mobile device not having a dedicated hardware-based video decoder, whereinthe video images are encoded by the computer as multi-packet MPEG frames and are streamed sequentially to the mobile device,the mobile device decodes and completes assembly of each received complete multi-packet frame before signaling the computer with a one byte header to send the next multi-packet frame, andthe software-based video decoder for decoding camera control information encoded in a video compression protocol is based on software different from the software on which the another software-based video encoder for encoding the camera control information in the video-compression protocol is based.

Abstract
A mobile device management system including a method for monitoring a remote video camera and event scheduling, synchronization and modification using location information. Video from a remote camera is encoded by a computer and streamed in real time over a network to a mobile device for decoding and display. The computer encoder and mobile device decoder are software-based. Event calendar and schedule information is incorporated, shared and automatically updated among multiple mobile devices. Location information, such as from a locator network or a satellite-based global positioning system, is used to provide real time updates to a mobile device calendar or event schedule. A map or other indicia of the location of other mobile devices may be provided.

8. A method for wireless monitoring on a mobile device comprising:
-
receiving an encoded video stream from a remote camera; transmitting video-compression protocol encoded camera control information to the remote camera based on a software-based video encoder; decoding and displaying the video stream on the mobile device based on a software-based video decoder for full duplex video operation, the mobile device not having a dedicated hardware-based video decoder, wherein the video stream is encoded as multi-packet MPEG frames and are streamed sequentially to the mobile device; completing assembly of each received complete multi-packet frame; and signaling a computer with a one byte header to send the next multi-packet frame after decoding and completing assembly of the each received complete multi-packet frame, wherein the software-based video encoder is based on software different from the software on which the software-based video decoder for full duplex video operation is based. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
