| 摘要 |
The present invention includes a communication control device that connects directly to at least one camera. Either analogue or digital cameras are connected to the communication control device. The communication control device captures, compresses, digitizes and/or encrypts the photographic images communicated to the communication control device from each camera and then communicates the processed or compressed images through a TCP/IP or other network protocol to a computer for further processing. The device can further bi-directionally communicate common protocols such as RS232 or RS485 protocols over new or existing computer networks using a TCP/IP or other network protocol. This allows for data input devices such as keyboards, magnetic stripe card readers, proximity readers, barcode scanners, document scanners or similar devices to be interfaced directly into the communication control device. The communication control device can also communicate such protocols to visual output devices such as LCDs to provide interactive feedback on the status or outcome of the verification to the user of the verification system. |
