[Means for solving the problem]
In order to solve this problem, for example, a video control device according to the present invention has the following configuration:
A video control device that transfers an image input in accordance with a request from a remote client to the client,
a storage means for storing information specific to an object within a range that can be input by the video input means;
a first transfer control means for, when transferring an image input by said video input means to said client, if the image to be transferred includes an object stored in said storage means, incorporating predetermined information into an image position showing said object so that instruction request information is returned when a predetermined instruction is given on the client side;
and second control means for transferring the relevant information stored in the storage means to the client in response to an instruction request from the client.

Claims

A video control device that transfers an image input in accordance with a request from a remote client to the client,
a storage means for storing information specific to an object within a range that can be input by the video input means;
a first transfer control means for, when transferring an image input by said video input means to said client, if the image to be transferred includes an object stored in said storage means, incorporating predetermined information into an image position showing said object so that instruction request information is returned when a predetermined instruction is given on the client side;
and second control means for, when an instruction request is received from the client, transferring the corresponding information stored in the storage means to the client in accordance with the instruction request.

2. The video control device according to claim 1, wherein said video input means is a means for inputting a video from a predetermined camera device.

Furthermore, when the object is a device connected to a network, a detection means for detecting state information of the object when the object is within a visual field of the video input means;
a synthesizing means for synthesizing an image based on the state information detected by the detecting means with an image input by the video input means,
2. The video control device according to claim 1, wherein said first transfer control means transfers a composite image.

The first transfer control means
a determining means for determining whether an object corresponding to the unique information stored in the storage means exists in the image to be transferred;
The video control device according to claim 1, further comprising a generating means for generating an anchor for generating the instruction request information assigned to a position near the object image in the image to be transferred when the determining means determines that the corresponding object exists in the image to be transferred, and the generated anchor information is transferred together with the image information.

A control method for a video control device that transfers an image input in accordance with a request from a remote client to the client, comprising:
a first transfer control step of, when transferring an image input by a video input means to the client, if the image to be transferred includes a preset object, incorporating predetermined information into an image position showing the object so that instruction request information is returned when a predetermined instruction is given on the client side;
a second transfer control step of, when an instruction request is received from the client, reading out the object-specific information from a predetermined storage means and transferring the information to the client.

6. The control method for a video control device according to claim 5, wherein said video input means is a means for inputting a video from a predetermined camera device.

a detection step of detecting state information of an object when the object is a device connected to a network and the object is within a visual field of the video input means;
a combining step of combining an image based on the status information detected in the detecting step with an image input by the video input means, wherein the first transfer control step transfers the combined image.

The first transfer control step includes:
a determining step of determining whether or not an object corresponding to the unique information stored in the storage means exists in the image to be transferred;
The control method for a video control device according to claim 5, further comprising a generating step of generating an anchor for generating the instruction request information assigned to a position near the object image in the image to be transferred when it is determined in the determining step that the corresponding object exists in the image to be transferred, and the generated anchor information is transferred together with the image information.

A storage medium storing a program that functions as a video control device that transfers an image input to a remote client in accordance with a request from the client when the program is read and executed by a computer,
a program code for a first transfer control step for, when transferring an image input by a video input means to the client, if the image to be transferred includes a preset object, incorporating predetermined information into an image position indicating the object so that instruction request information is returned when a predetermined instruction is given on the client side;
and a program code for a second transfer control step of reading the object-specific information from a predetermined storage means and transferring it to the client when an instruction request is received from the client.
