Abstract

A surveillance camera includes: a communicator configured to receive, from a user terminal configured to measure position information and orientation information of the user terminal, the position information and the orientation information of the user terminal; a controller configured to set position information and orientation information of the surveillance camera based on the position information and orientation information of the user terminal; and a housing which accommodates the communicator and the controller therein, wherein the housing includes a user terminal contact configured to allow the user terminal to contact the user terminal contact at a predetermined angle with respect to the surveillance camera.

First claim

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:

1 . A surveillance camera comprising:
a communicator configured to receive, from a user terminal configured to measure position information and orientation information of the user terminal, the position information and the orientation information of the user terminal; a controller configured to set position information and orientation information of the surveillance camera based on the position information and orientation information of the user terminal; and a housing which accommodates the communicator and the controller therein, wherein the housing comprises a user terminal contact configured to allow the user terminal to contact the user terminal contact at a predetermined angle with respect to the surveillance camera.

2 . The surveillance camera of claim 1 , wherein the user terminal contact is configured to allow a surface of the user terminal to contact the user terminal contact so that an optical axis of the surveillance camera and the surface of the user terminal are perpendicular or parallel to each other.

3 . The surveillance camera of claim 2 , wherein the user terminal contact has a shape and an area to be contacted with at least a portion of the surface of the user terminal.

4 . The surveillance camera of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to obtain the orientation information of the surveillance camera, based on information about the surface of the user terminal, which is contacted with the user terminal contact, and the orientation information of the user terminal.

5 . The surveillance camera of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a magnetic field shielding film configured to block a magnetic field formed by an internal configuration of the housing with respect to the user terminal contact.

6 . The surveillance camera of claim 1 , wherein the communicator is configured to receive the orientation information of the user terminal from the user terminal based on determining that the user terminal is in a state of being horizontal to a ground surface or within a predetermined inclination range with respect to the ground surface.

7 . A surveillance camera comprising:
a camera module; and a housing which accommodates the camera module, wherein the housing comprises a user terminal contact configured to allow a surface of a user terminal having orientation information to contact the user terminal contact at a predetermined angle with respect to an optical axis of the camera module.

8 . The surveillance camera of claim 7 , wherein the user terminal contact is configured to allow a surface of the user terminal to contact the user terminal contact so that an optical axis of the camera module and the surface of the user terminal are perpendicular or parallel to each other.

9 . The surveillance camera of claim 8 , wherein the user terminal contact has a shape and an area to be contacted with at least a portion of the surface of the user terminal.

10 . The surveillance camera of claim 7 , further comprising:
a communicator configured to receive the orientation information of the user terminal from the user terminal; and a controller configured to set orientation information of the surveillance camera based on the orientation information of the user terminal based on the user terminal contacting the user terminal contact, wherein the communicator is configured to receive the orientation information of the user terminal based on the orientation information of the user terminal being transmitted according to determination of a gyro sensor based inclination of an installation app installed in the user terminal.

11 . The surveillance camera of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to obtain the orientation information of the surveillance camera, based on information about the surface of the user terminal, which is contacted with the user terminal contact, and the orientation information of the user terminal.

12 . The surveillance camera of claim 7 , wherein a magnetic field shielding film configured to block a magnetic field formed by an internal configuration of the housing with respect to the user terminal contact is formed on an inner surface of the housing.

13 . A surveillance camera comprising:
a housing which accommodates a camera module, a communicator, and a controller therein, wherein a user terminal contact configured to allow a user terminal to contact the user terminal contact at a predetermined angle is formed on an outer surface of the housing, wherein the communicator configured to receive position information and orientation information of the user terminal from the user terminal, and wherein the controller is configured to set position information and orientation information of the surveillance camera based on the position information and the orientation information of the user terminal based on the user terminal contacting the user terminal contact.

14 . The surveillance camera of claim 13 , wherein the communicator is configured to receive the position information and the orientation information of the user terminal from the user terminal based on the user terminal being in a horizontal state with respect to a ground surface or in a state of being within a predetermined inclination value in a state in which the user terminal contacts the user terminal contact.

15 . The surveillance camera of claim 13 , wherein the user terminal contact is formed to be contacted with a surface of the user terminal so that an optical axis of the camera module and a surface of the user terminal are perpendicular or parallel to each other.

16 . The surveillance camera of claim 15 , wherein the user terminal contact has a shape and an area to be contacted with at least a portion of the surface of the user terminal.

17 . The surveillance camera of claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to obtain the orientation information of the surveillance camera, based on information about the surface of the user terminal, which is contacted with the user terminal contact, and the orientation information of the user terminal.

18 . The surveillance camera of claim 13 , wherein the housing further comprises a magnetic field shielding film configured to block a magnetic field formed by an internal configuration of the housing with respect to the user terminal contact.
