`INTEGRATED INTERNET CAMERA SYSTEM
`
`CLEM 201.1
`
`RELATED APPLICATION
`
`[0001] The present application claims a priority to U.S. Provisional Patent
`
`Application Serial No. 60/702,470, which is incorporated herein by reference in its
`
`entirety.
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0002] The present
`
`invention relates to. an integrated Internet camera and/or
`
`systemthat is simple to install, operate and maintain, more particularly to an integrated
`Internet camera and/or video system that seamlessly and automatically transmits,
`
`receives, stores and/or archives still images, video and/or audio to and from a website
`
`service/monitor center over the Internet using one or more integrated Internet cameras.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0003] The increasing use and awarenessofthe utility afforded by the Internet has
`
`transformed this simple image recording or capture process into a more complicated
`
`process requiring permanent storage and providing a secure centralized access to such
`
`storage from any remote location.
`
`[0004] The currently available camera systems available are rigid and expensive.
`
`These systems are complex and require a host of peripheral devices to place an image on
`
`the Internet or Web. Additionally,
`
`these systems are bulky and not very portable.
`
`Moreover, the user mustinstall one or more software to operate such camera systems.
`
`In
`
`a security monitoring application, these camera systems require a qualified operator to
`
`operate and maintain such system.
`
`[0005] An example of such prior camera system is shown in FIG. 1.
`
`In order for
`
`an operatorto transfer the still image, video and/or audio file from a video camera 100 to
`
`an accountonthe Internet or Web, the operator must connect the video camera 100 to a
`
`personal computer PC 200.
`
`Thestill image, video and/or audio file is transferred and
`
`stored in the PC 200 before it is transferred or uploaded onto the Internet. That is, the
`
`camera 100 must be connected to a network device (e.g., PC 200) before it can transmit
`
`or receive still image, video or audio files.

`
`[0006] Some have attempted to resolve this problem by purchasing a network
`
`card (wired or wireless) to enable their camera 100 to connect to the Internet without a
`
`separate network device (i.e., PC 200). However, such solution is only available if the
`
`camera 100 can accept such network card and does not provide two-way access to the
`
`image file, 1.e., transmitting to storage and receiving from storage. Additionally, such
`
`solution generally requires the operator to install
`
`the network card and accompanying
`
`software to “network” enabled camera 100.
`
`[0007] Therefore, it is desirable to have an integrated Internet camera system that
`
`can seamlessly upload and download video and/or audio files to and from the Internet,
`
`transmits these files to another web-enabled portable device (e.g., another camera, a
`
`personal digital assistant (PDA), a cell phone and the like), receive/download video
`
`and/or audio files from another portable device and/or store/archive these files in a secure
`
`website without the necessity of connecting to another device, such as a PC 200.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
`
`[0019] Turning now to Fig. 2, there is illustrated an integrated Internet camera
`
`system (IICS) 1000 in accordance with an embodiment of the present
`
`invention
`
`comprising a plurality Internet direct cameras (IDCs) 2000 connected to a website archive
`
`and storage center (WSARC) 3000 overthe Internet 4000. The WSARC 3000 comprises
`
`a web server 3010 and one or more database 3020 to store and/or archive images received
`
`from the IDCs 2000. The TICS 1000 uses the IDC 2000 (preferably a multi-mode
`
`camera) to transmit a still image, video and audio (collectively referred to herein as the
`
`“data’”’), onto the Internet 4000 via a multi mode Internet Access Antenna (IAA) 2600 to a
`
`monitored WSARC 3000. The IDC 2000 can connect to the Internet via, but not limited
`
`to, land line, DSL, cable, satellite, wireless network, cellular, Wi-Fi, Wi-Maxandthelike.
`
`Preferably, the IDC 2000 connects to the Internet via a primary mode of communication
`
`and switches over the secondary mode of communicationif the IDC 2000 detects a failure
`
`in the primary mode of communication. For example, if the IDC 2000 is programmedor
`
`setup to use Wi-Fi as a primary mode of communication, the IDC 2000 can switch to a
`
`cellular communication if the Wi-Fi communication ts lost or unavailable.
`
`[0020] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the
`
`IDC 2000 comprises an embeddedaddress, a subscriber identification module (SIM)card
`
`2610 or other comparable device or means to enable the IDC’s connection to the WSARC
`
`3000 to be embedded, preset, encrypted, proprietary and firewall protected.
`
`If the IDC
`
`2000 is faulty or inoperable, the user can simply remove its SIM card 2610 andinstall it
`
`in the new IDC 2000. That is, the SIM card 2610 is interchangeable from one IDC 2000
`
`.
`to another IDC 2000.
`[0021] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the _
`IDC 2000 comprises a microcontroller or microprocessor 2200 for controlling the various
`
`components of the IDC 2000, a display 2300, preferably LCD display, to display captured
`
`25581681.

`
`images, an image-forming optical system 2500 for capturing images, a compression
`
`module 2210 for compressing captured images, a storage device 2400 for storing and/or
`
`archiving capture images, an image adjusting module 2220 for performing image
`
`processing ona stored/archived digital image and a text module 2230 for superimposing
`
`text information on a stored/archived digital image.
`
`In accordance with an embodiment
`
`of the present invention, the microcontroller 2200 controls the compression module 2210
`
`to perform image compression, e.g., JPEG, Huffman, wavelet and the like and outputs
`
`images in JPEG, TIFF, GIFF and other known formats for storage in the storage device
`
`2400 and/or transmission to the WSARC 3000. The microcontroller 2200 also can
`
`control the image adjusting module 2220 to adjust the resolution of image stored/archived
`
`in the storage device 2400 on a continuous scale with preferred preservation of aspect
`
`ratio either before or after storage therein or before or after transmission to the WSARC
`
`3000.
`
`[0022] All of the electronic, mechanical, optical and display componenis of the
`
`IDC 2000 are housed within a camera body 2100. A viewfinder 2530 allows the operator
`
`to view a scene correspondingto, or identical to, an image formed on an image pickup
`2510 of the IDC 2000 via the image-forming optical system 2500. The image-forming
`optical system 2500 can comprises a zoomlens or an auto-focus system.
`
`[0023] The display 2300 displays the results of user interaction, status reporting to
`
`the user and images/vides captured or received by the IDC 2000. The storage device
`2400 can be a memory, a hard drive, a DRAM, a NAND,a flash memory, a memory
`
`stick, a storage disk and the like.
`
`It is appreciated that IDC 2000 without the storage
`
`device 2400 has the benefit of lowering the cost of the IDC 2000. The storage device
`
`2400 advantageously enables the user
`
`to continue recording even if the Internet
`
`connection is temporarily lost or unavailable.
`
`([0024] Instead of the viewfinder 2530,
`
`the IDC 2000 in accordance with an
`
`embodiment of the present invention utilizes a detachable or integrated full video (LCD)
`
`display 2300. Accordingly, the display 2300 is a color or greyscale (video) LCD, and the
`
`microcontroller 2200 drives the display 2300 to show images formed on the image pickup
`
`2510.
`
`[0025] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the
`
`storage device 2400 records the data constantly, preferably with a chosen time frame
`
`override.
`
`In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, the IDC 2000 transmits

`
`the data to the WSARC 3000 and simultaneously records the data on the storage device
`
`2400.
`
`[0026] In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the
`
`IDC 2000 comprises a meter that shows amount of time or data remaining to be
`
`transmitted to the WSARC 3000.
`
`[0027] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the
`
`storage device 1120 records the data whenthe Internet connectionis lost. The IDC 2000
`
`transmits the stored/archived data when the Internet connection to the WSARC 3000 is
`
`re-established. Preferably, the storage device 2400 records the data until all recorded data
`
`is sent
`
`to the WSARC 3000 over the Internet 4000 and then move seamlessly to
`
`transmitting live data without loss of data.
`
`[0028] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention,the
`
`storage device 1120 records the data where Internet access is unavailable, such as a
`
`factory or a remote site. Periodically, the IDC 2000 can be movedto a site where Internet
`
`access is available and the recordings can be transmitted to the WSARC 3000.
`
`In
`
`accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the IDC 2000 can be replaced
`
`with another IDC 2000 so the recording is continuous. Preferably, the storage device
`
`2400 is removable such that the storage device 2400 is periodically replaced with a new
`
`one so that the recording is continuous. The recordings on the removed IDC 2000 and/or
`
`the storage device 1120 are then transferred to the WSARC 3000.
`
`[0029] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the
`
`IDC 2000 comprises a light indicator, such as an LED 2310, indicating whether the IDC
`
`2000 is connected to the Internet (1.e., the WSARC 3000). The LED 2310 is “green” to
`
`indicate that the IDC 2000 is connected to the WSARC 3000 and “red”’ to indicate that
`the IDC 2000is not connected to the WSARC 3000. This will advantageously enable the
`
`user or operator of the IDC 2000 to know the status of the Internet connection
`
`immediately.
`
`In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, if the WSARC 3000
`
`loses connection to an IDC 2000, the WSARC 3000 sends an email to a predetermined
`
`address or places a phone call
`
`to a predetermined number (or other comparable
`
`notification means) designated by the registered user of the IDC 2000.
`
`[0030] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the
`
`IDC 2000 comprises a motion sensor 2700 for activating the recording only when the
`
`motion sensor 2700 detects motion. For exampie,
`
`this can be useful for monitoring

`
`remote, unpopulated locations, such as a warehouseor a factory in off-hour or a summer
`
`or winter home in off-season, for any unauthorized intrusion. Preferably, the IDC 2000
`
`only records when the motion sensor 2700 detects an activity or motion within a
`
`monitoring area or site.
`
`In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, upon
`
`activation of the IDC 2000, the WSARC 3000 can be setup or program to send an email
`
`to a predetermined address or place a phone call
`
`to a predetermined number(or other
`
`comparable notification means), which can be designated by the registered user of the
`
`IDC 2000.
`
`[0031] In accordance with an exemplary embodimentof the present invention, the
`
`IDC 2000 can be placed or mounted on a mounting device 1100 which can rotate or pivot
`
`the IDC 2000, thereby enabling the operator to remotely control the IDC 2000 via the
`
`WSARC3000. As noted herein, for example, when the registered user receives an email
`
`or a phone call
`
`that
`
`the IDC 2000 has detected an activity within a warehouse,
`
`the
`
`registered user can log onto the WSARC 3000 and remotely operate one or more IDCs
`
`2000 within the warehouse to determine the cause of this activity. Alternatively, an
`
`operator associated with the W
