技术领域technical field
本发明涉及视频数据传送的方法、系统与装置,特别涉及利用视频数据提供装置取得图像编码格式并进行转换的作法。The present invention relates to a method, system and device for video data transmission, in particular to a method for obtaining and converting an image encoding format using a video data providing device.
背景技术Background technique
近年来,视频会议已经成为繁忙的商业社会常被使用的工具,视频会议的使用除了避免与会者需要舟车劳顿的情形外,更可以让会议的举办更为即时、有效率。由于视频会议在传送时,所要传送的画面除了场地周遭环境的画面外,还需要传送会议中使用的文件数据与操作画面等,例如将计算机屏幕、电子白板的内容以即时显示的方式通过网络来传输,因此传送数据量的大小对于重视频宽的网络传输也显得相当重要。In recent years, video conferencing has become a frequently used tool in the busy business world. The use of video conferencing not only avoids the need for participants to travel to and fro, but also makes meetings more immediate and efficient. When the video conference is being transmitted, in addition to the surrounding environment of the venue, the images to be transmitted also need to transmit the file data and operation screens used in the conference, such as displaying the contents of the computer screen and electronic whiteboard through the network in real time. Transmission, so the amount of transmitted data is also very important for network transmission with heavy video bandwidth.
换句话说,在视频会议中需要被传输的画面常常为多个,而画面内容又需占用相当频宽,如此的数据量对于网络将形成很大的负担,因此发展出利用压缩画面格式的作法。请参见图1,其为公知技术将一使用者计算机的图像画面通过本地端会议管理装置及网络传送至远程会议管理装置的示意图。In other words, there are often multiple pictures to be transmitted in a video conference, and the picture content needs to occupy a considerable bandwidth. Such a data volume will form a great burden on the network. Therefore, a method of using compressed picture formats has been developed. . Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of transmitting an image frame of a user computer to a remote conference management device through a local conference management device and a network in the known technology.

经由前述对于图1的说明可以发现,公知技术的作法具有以下缺陷:首先,使用者计算机必需通过数据连线的方式连接至本地端的会议管理装置,在一般的情况下,由于会议管理装置与使用者计算机间的距离不固定,且使用者计算机101的数目也可能不只一个,这些数据连线将使得会议空间显得杂乱且不便操作;其次,会议管理装置必须同时肩负沟通画面压缩格式、进行压缩画面以及转换网络传送格式等工作,使得会议管理装置的负担过重而无法达到有效率的视频会议进行过程。It can be found through the foregoing description of FIG. 1 that the practice of the known technology has the following defects: firstly, the user computer must be connected to the conference management device at the local end through a data connection. The distance between computers is not fixed, and the number of

在实际应用中,视频画面产生装置22可能是个人计算机、移动电子装置、摄影装置或图像提取装置,主要用来提供图像画面;而视频数据转换装置23可能是专用转换装置、适配器或是可以附加在视频画面产生装置22上的一个逻辑电路来完成。在视频数据提供装置201通过第二视频装置203以取得第一视频装置207所支持的该图像编码格式后,视频数据转换装置23根据此图像编码格式将视频画面产生装置22所提供的图像画面转换成视频数据后,视频数据提供装置201再将视频数据通过网络205、第二视频装置203来传送至第一视频装置207。In practical applications, the video image generation device 22 may be a personal computer, mobile electronic device, photographic device or image extraction device, mainly used to provide image images; and the video
此处的图像编码格式可进一步定义加密/解密机制,借以提供第一视频装置207与第二视频装置203间的身分验证功能;以及定义压缩/解压缩格式,以降低第二视频装置203通过网络将视频数据传送至第一视频装置207的数据量。The image encoding format here can further define an encryption/decryption mechanism, so as to provide an identity verification function between the
除了视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23外,视频数据提供装置201还可以包含存储器单元21,电连接于视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23并用来记录第一视频装置207所支持的图像编码格式。须注意的是,图3(b)的存储器单元21为一示意构造,在实际应用时,存储器单元21可能是一个独立的装置或是被内置于视频画面产生装置22或视频数据转换装置23中(如图3(c)所示)。通过存储器单元21的使用,在视频数据提供装置201取得第一视频装置207所支持的图像编码格式的作法上,将可以通过使用者设定或存储前次连线的历史记录设定等方式,而提升查询第一视频装置207所支持的图像编码格式的速度。In addition to the video image generation device 22 and the video
请参见图3(c),其为本发明所提供的视频数据转换装置23的内部示意图,此视频数据转换装置23通过网络205、第二视频装置203等信号连接至第一视频装置207,并根据第一视频装置207所支持的图像格式来传送视频画面产生装置22所提供的图像画面,该视频数据转换装置23包含:传送单元232,通过第二视频装置203而信号连接于第一视频装置207;判读单元231,电连接于传送单元232,此判读单元231用来通过第二视频装置203取得并判断第一视频装置207所支持的图像格式;以及电连接于传送单元232与判读单元231之间的编码单元233,其根据前述判读单元231取得及判断的图像编码格式将视频画面产生装置22(如:个人计算机、移动电子装置、摄影装置或图像提取装置等)所提供的图像画面转换成为视频数据后通过传送单元232经网络205、第二视频装置203传送至第一视频装置207。Please refer to FIG. 3 (c), which is an internal schematic diagram of the video
此外,本发明的较佳实施例中的视频数据转换装置23还可以包含:接收单元234,信号连接于第二视频装置203并电连接于判读单元231,其通过网络205与第二视频装置203而间接取得第一视频装置207所支持的图像格式信息,借以提供图像格式的设定至判读单元231。In addition, the video
本发明的视频数据转换装置23也可选择性的配合存储器单元21的使用,记录该第一视频装置207所支持的图像格式。此处的记录方式可能通过一出厂设定值、一使用者预设值或一历史记录值。值得注意的是,此处的存储器单元21可能是设置在视频数据转换装置23外部或如图3(c)所示设置于视频数据转换装置23的内部,在后者的情况下,此存储器单元21将电连接于判读单元231与编码单元233。The video
此处的编码单元233可能具有复合的功能,例如,包含加密/解密机制模块及压缩模块等。在第一视频装置207的解密模块与视频数据转换装置23的加密模块的配合使用下,将可提供与会者间的身分验证功能,将提供的图像画面通过数据加密的动作转换成加密视频数据后再通过第二视频装置203与网络205的传送至第一视频装置207,便可以避免在通过网络传送时视频数据外泄的情况。至于压缩模块的使用则可以通过压缩数据的动作将图像画面以较低数据率的方式转换为压缩视频数据,例如目前常用的H.261、H.263、H.263+、H.264等数据编码方式,进而减轻传送时的数据传输量。The
附带一提的是,尽管在附图中将视频数据提供装置201以逻辑电路模块的方式区分为视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23,但在实际应用时,视频数据提供装置201可能通过软件程序的方式将图像画面转换成视频数据,而无须特别区分提供画面与转换数据格式的步骤所进行的模块。通过其上存储着软件程序的计算机程序产品,将此软件程序应用在于视频数据提供装置201上以实现视频数据的传送。Incidentally, although the video
请参见图3(d),其为本发明所述的视频数据传送系统中单个装置的替代连线关系示意图。此处的视频数据传送系统包含:第一视频装置207、第二视频装置203与视频数据提供装置201,彼此间均通过信号连接于网络205,此处信号连接的方式可能为有线网络或无线网络,同质或异质网络均为可能。在此种应用中,相关的判断流程均与前述作法无异,仅是装置之间的数据传送接口方式不同而已,在此不再赘述其细节。Please refer to FIG. 3( d ), which is a schematic diagram of an alternative connection relationship of a single device in the video data transmission system of the present invention. The video data transmission system here includes: a
再请参见图4,其为本发明较佳实施例的系统控制流程图。以下的说明将依据图中的步骤分别说明,并将控制流程中可能应用的替代变化加以说明。Please refer to FIG. 4 again, which is a flow chart of system control in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The following description will be based on the steps in the figure and will describe the alternative changes that may be applied in the control flow.
步骤1101中,视频数据提供装置201取得第一视频装置207可支持的图像编码格式。此处的视频数据提供装置201可以是一个单一装置,或是由视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23所构成,其中视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23的对应关系可以是一对一、多对多或多对一的方式,视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23彼此间的数据交换机制则可以通过有线/无线网络、物理数据缆线、适配器、应用软件等方式来实现。In
视频数据提供装置201取得图像编码格式的方式可能经由以下的方式,首先,视频数据提供装置201可以在第一视频装置207与第二视频装置203建立起连线后,通过第二视频装置203及网络205进行查询而取得第一视频装置207所传回的图像编码格式;其次,第一视频装置207可用以支持的图像编码格式可能为多个种类,因此在第二视频装置203或视频数据提供装置201中可以通过一个选取规则来选择实际使用的图像编码格式,例如由使用者设定一组使用编码格式的优先顺序,或是根据图像格式的压缩率等特性来选择,一旦第一视频装置207传回的可支持图像编码格式不只一种时,便可通过选取规则的应用,将判读单元231选取的结果传送给编码单元233;此外,第一视频装置207所支持的图像编码格式还可以被预先记录在电连接于视频画面产生装置22与视频数据转换装置23的存储器单元21中,并在视频会议进行过程时由存储器单元21提供给视频提供装置。此处的存储器单元21可能是独立装置或内嵌于视频画面产生装置22/视频数据转换装置23中,存储的设定可以是出厂设定值、使用者预设值或历史记录值等方式提供给判读单元231与编码单元233。The video
步骤1201中,视频数据提供装置201提供了图像画面,并通过逻辑电路单元或软件应用程序的作法,根据图像编码格式来将图像画面转换成为视频数据。此外,在提升传送速度的考虑下,还可以将视频数据进一步以数据压缩的动作转换成为压缩视频数据。In
步骤1202中,视频数据提供装置201将其输出的(压缩)视频数据传送至第二视频装置203。这里的传送方式可视视频数据提供装置201与第二视频装置203的连线关系为何,而能使用不同的数据传输接口来传送,例如通过物理的数据数据线、局域网209、广域网、有线/无线网络等。In
步骤1301中,第二视频装置203将视频数据传送至第一视频装置207。此步骤中,第二视频装置203可视其与第一视频装置207的连线情形将视频数据转换为网络格式数据后,再通过(广域)网络将网络格式数据传送至第一视频装置207。若是视频会议中与会者间连线的数据需考虑身份认证的情形,则也可以在第二视频装置203传送前将视频数据进一步以一加密动作转换成加密视频数据后再传送,如此将可确保具有授权的与会者方能正确的解读视频数据的内容。In
步骤1302中,第一视频装置207根据该图像编码格式来对该视频数据进行解码而得回图像画面,此处的解码动作对应于传送前的编码动作,因此在视频数据经过压缩处理的情况下,第一视频装置207需将压缩过的视频数据进行反向的解压缩动作而得回视频数据;而在传送前若是被加密过的视频数据则在第一视频装置207收到后需再进行解密动作而得到原始的视频数据,最后再将视频数据转换成为原始的图像画面。In
此处的第一视频装置207可以搭配其他的装置将视频数据以应用软件或硬件的方式将图像画面呈现在远程的使用者面前,接着完成画面的传输动作,至于远程的会议管理装置当然也可以搭配本发明的视频数据提供装置201来提供对应的画面提供作法。Here, the
通过上述图2至图4分别说明本发明中的核心控制作法、系统与装置的架构配置以及控制流程的应用,将可以看出本发明确实改善了公知技术将压缩与传送机制均安排于会议管理装置的负担过重现象,而能进一步提升视频会议中数据传输的效果。Through the above-mentioned Figures 2 to 4, the core control method, system and device architecture configuration, and the application of the control process in the present invention are respectively explained. It can be seen that the present invention has indeed improved the known technology by arranging both compression and transmission mechanisms in conference management. The phenomenon of excessive burden on the device can be avoided, and the effect of data transmission in the video conference can be further improved.
虽然本发明已揭示如上述较佳实施例,然而其并非用以限定本发明,本发明得由本领域普通技术人员任施匠思而为诸般修饰,都不脱如附权利要求所欲保护的范围。Although the present invention has disclosed the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be modified by any person of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the protection of the appended claims. scope.
