Abstract

Cameras located in bars, clubs or pubs are connected by cable or wirelessly to the Internet and the images streamed to a server. Mobile phone or computer terminal users may then access the images of selected venues, before deciding whether to visit.

Description

DESCRIPTION:
Short Title: Innovation of web and network cameras to stream live imagery inside bars, pubs and clubs to remote devices such as computers and mobile phones.
Background:
This invention is a new and innovative approach to the use of web and network cameras. Where web and network cameras have traditionally been used for security and communication purposes this innovation engages this technology in a radically new way.
The purpose of this new technology is to allow all those with a computer or mobile phone to view, via a live stream from web or network camera, directly into the interiors of bars, pubs and clubs remotely - ensuring that members of the public can conveniently see inside these venues before deciding on which establishment they wish to go to. This process enables a person to plan their evening in a new and much more efficient manner.
Where before people made wasted journeys to and from these entertainment venues, this service solves, and makes available a highly innovative service, whilst offering a new effective means of advertising for these venues.
The process by which this technology is utilised is outlined below: -Network and Web cameras are installed into these venues and connected via an Internet connection either by establishing the camera onto a wireless network, or attaching the unit straight into the internet connection with a cabled solution.
-The camera is then set up to stream live imagery of the venue onto the Internet by creating a static and independent web address for each venue's camera. The camera is given its own unique domain name on the Internet so that the image is fixed and only available from one static source.
-Each camera streams live information so that the Internet site then consists of a number of streamed images from all over the country allowing members of the public to conveniently access and contrast each live image and venue.
-The information on the website is then translated and encrypted, made compatible with mobile phones - formatted so that each phone's own web browser can use the service and users can monitor exactly what is happening is happening in a number of venues, all live, and remotely.
-This new and innovative process enables the user to view inside these venues live from any remote location using either computer or mobile phone.
(At times when the venue is closed the cameras can be turned off, ensuring that the security of these establishments is protected and not compromised at times when the venues is not staffed.)
