| 摘要 |
Briefly, a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a suitable local user input device used in association with a data transmission system to couple the user input into a telecom system for communication to a remote receiver/decoder apparatus and a multi-axis actuator device responsive thereto, for driving a multi-axis controllable mechanism, such as a telescopic lens system and associated video camera, to generate a selectable view of a remote scene or object. Remote video signal capture and return transmission means completely decoupled from the input signal communication system receive the digitized camera output and communicate image data via a telecom network or other communications media back to a local video data receiver having a display screen viewable by the user and operative to display the remote image selected by the user in response to his input to the local input device. The telecommunication system used to link the user input device to the remotely controlled device may also include a 900 number billing system for assessing and collecting fees charged for use of the system. In addition, some means of contention resolution may be provided. |
