Remotely controlling camera functionality
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a camera being configured to capture an image or video at a location remote from a remote site, the camera being associated with a user and identifiable by an identifier that is used at least in part to facilitate registration of the camera at the remote site, wherein the camera is located remote from the remote site;
wherein the remote site is configured to;
maintain a plurality of identifiers including the identifier that identifies the camera;
maintain a plurality of user accounts including a user account that is associated with the user; and
register the camera at the remote site including associating the identifier that identifies the camera with the user account that is associated with the user;
a client application being configured to execute on a client device of the user to;
output, via the client device, a graphical user interface having a display component that corresponds to the camera;
receive, via the client device, a user input that corresponds to a user interaction with the display component of the graphical user interface that corresponds to the camera; and
output, via a network interface of the client device, a command that corresponds to the user input and that, when received and executed by the camera, at least partially controls the camera according to an intention of the user as indicated by the user interaction with the display component of the graphical user interface.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing registration at a remote site that may include, for example, a monitoring module that may communicate with a remote site. A registration protocol may be used by the monitoring module and the remote site in generating the messages communicated during the registration process. The monitoring module may gather and generate various identification information to be included in the registration protocol messages. The registration information provided by the monitoring module maybe stored at the remote site in a database server having a database. A confirmation message may be communicated from the remote site to the monitoring module that may either acknowledge successful registration or report that an error occurred during the registration process.

11. A method, comprising:
-
outputting, by a client application executing on a client device of a user, a graphical user interface having a display component that corresponds to a function that a camera is configured to perform, the client application outputting the graphical user interface via a display of the client device, the camera being located remote from a remote site, the camera being associated with the user and identifiable by an identifier that at least partially facilitates registration of the camera at the remote site, the remote site being configured to; maintain a plurality of identifiers including the identifier that identifies the camera; maintain a plurality of user accounts including a user account that is associated with the user; and register the camera at the remote site including associating the identifier that identifies the camera with the user account that is associated with the user; receiving, by the client application executing on the client device, a user input that corresponds to a user interaction with the display component of the graphical user interface that corresponds to the function that the camera is configured to perform, the client application receiving the user input via the client device; and outputting, by the client application executing on the client device, a command that corresponds to the user input and that, when received and executed by the camera, at least partially controls the camera according to an intention of the user as indicated by the user interaction with the display component of the graphical user interface, the client application outputting the command via a network interface of the client device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
