Abstract

Provided are an online indication method, device and system. The method comprises: an online state of each PU in a designated area is checked; and if there is an offline PU, indication information is sent to the offline PU, wherein the indication information is used for indicating to the offline PU to automatically start online. By means of the invention, offline PUs within a certain area may be found according to physical location information of the PUs, and then the above-mentioned offline PUs are triggered by the indication information to be automatically online, so that the problem in the related art that the PUs cannot automatically start online in the case of emergency after being offline is solved, and thus, there is no need for users to start the PUs manually.

First claim

1 . An online indication method, comprising:
checking an online state of each video coder (PU) in a designated area; and based on that there is an offline PU, sending indication information to the offline PU, wherein the indication information is used for indicating that the offline PU automatically starts online.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before checking the online state of each PU in a designated area, the method further comprises: receiving an alarm message of a PU; and searching for the each PU in the designated area where the PU is located.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein before receiving the alarm message of the PU, the method further comprises:
receiving PU list information reported by any PU in a video monitoring system, wherein the PU list information records information about each PU in the designated area where the any PU is located.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein before receiving the PU list information reported by the any PU, the method further comprises:
the any PU searching for PUs which are located in the area where the any PU is located; the any PU sending a request message to at least one searched PU, wherein the request message is used for requesting acquiring at least one identity (ID) of the at least one searched PU; and the any PU constructing the PU list information according to the at least one acquired ID.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein searching for the each PU in the area where the PU is located comprises:
according to the PU list information, searching for the each PU in the designated area where the PU is located.

6 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein after receiving the PU list information reported by the any PU, the method further comprises:
updating the PU list information corresponding to the any PU.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the indication information to the offline PU comprises:
in a manner of inputting a mobile phone number of the offline PU sending, via a short message interface, the indication information to the offline PU.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the indication information to the offline PU comprises:
sending the indication information to the offline PU via a mobile network.

9 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the any PU searching for the at least one PU which is located in the area where the any PU is located comprises:
the any PU searching, through Wireless Fidelity (WIFI), for the at least one PU which is located in the area where the any PU is located.

10 . An online indication device, comprising:
a state checking component configured to check an online state of each video coder (PU) in a designated area; and an online indication component configured to, based on that the state checking component checks that there is an offline PU, send indication information to the offline PU, wherein the indication information is used for indicating that the offline PU automatically starts online.

11 . The online indication device according to claim 10 , wherein the device further comprises:
an alarm receiving component configured to receive an alarm message of the PU; and a searching component configured to search for the each PU in the designated area where the PU is located.

12 . The online indication device according to claim 11 , wherein the device further comprises:
a list receiving component configured to receive PU list information reported by any PU in a video monitoring system, wherein the PU list information records information about each PU in the designated area where the any PU is located.

13 . The online indication device according to claim 12 , wherein the searching component comprises:
a searching element configured to, according to the PU list information, search for the each PU in the designated area where the PU is located.

14 . The online indication device according to claim 12 , wherein the device further comprises:
a list updating component configured to update the PU list information corresponding to the any PU.

15 . An online indication system, comprising: an online indication device as claimed in claim 10 , and a video coder (PU), the PU comprising:
a searching component configured to search for each PU in an area where the PU is located; an identification request component configured to send a request message to each searched PU, wherein the request message is used for requesting acquiring identity (ID) of the each PU; and a list constructing component configured to construct PU list information according to the acquired ID.

16 . The online indication system according to claim 15 , wherein the PU further comprises:
a list reporting component configured to report the constructed PU list information to the online indication device.
