A method for performing cooperative counting and an associated apparatus are provided, where the method is applicable to a counter system, and the counter system includes a plurality of cameras. The method includes: setting a plurality of points on an electronic map as a plurality of predetermined points according to user inputs; determining at least one rule related to the predetermined points according to rule information, where the rule information is stored in the counter system; respectively performing video object detection upon a plurality of images captured by the cameras to generate detection results respectively corresponding to the cameras; and merging the detection results respectively corresponding to the cameras, to count events complying with the at least one rule.

Method and associated apparatus for performing cooperative counting with aid of multiple cameras

A method for managing a surveillance system includes at least one camera equipped with capability of capturing direction adjustment, such as a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera. The method includes the steps of: outputting a panoramic map to a display module of the surveillance system for being displayed on the display module; according to at least one user input of a user of the surveillance system, labeling a target patrol route of the surveillance system on the panoramic map correspondingly for the user to confirm the target patrol route; and applying at least one configuration corresponding to the target patrol route to the camera to cause capturing direction adjustment operations of the camera to correspond to the target patrol route. The panoramic map may include at least one multi-directional combination picture corresponding to the camera.

Method for managing surveillance system with aid of panoramic map, and associated apparatus

A method for controlling a surveillance system includes a plurality of cameras equipped with capability of capturing direction adjustment. The method includes the steps of: calculating monitoring regions of the plurality of cameras according to coordinates of the plurality of cameras, respectively, to generate space information of the monitoring regions, wherein any monitoring region of the monitoring regions includes a union of a plurality of regions monitored by a corresponding camera of the plurality of cameras through capturing direction adjustment; automatically generating target patrol routes of the plurality of cameras according to the monitoring regions and according to a plurality of target points; and applying configurations corresponding to the target patrol routes to the plurality of cameras, respectively, to cause capturing direction adjustment operations of the plurality of cameras to correspond to the target patrol routes, respectively.

Method for controlling surveillance system with aid of automatically generated patrol routes, and associated apparatus

A container system including cabinets, a main control unit connected to the cabinets and a heat dissipation zone is mentioned. The cabinet includes a plurality of serving zones each of which further includes a master server and at least one slave server. The heat dissipation zone is disposed at a side of the serving zone and coupled to the main control unit. Each slave server is coupled to the master server. The slave server includes at least one temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is used for outputting temperature information to the master server when receiving the temperature demand. The master server collects the temperature information transmitted by each slave server. The master server forwards the temperature information to the main control unit. The main control unit drives the heat dissipation zone to dissipate heat of the serving zone according to the temperature information.

Container system, cabinet, and heat dissipation method for container system

A container system and a monitoring method for the container system are provided. The container system includes a plurality of servers and a master server node. The servers are arranged in N areas. The master server node is coupled to the servers. The master server node selects one of a plurality of servers in an iarea to be a main node of the iarea. The main node collects temperature information of the servers in the iarea to transmit highest temperature information to the master server node. When the master server node cannot connect to the main node, the master server node selects one of other servers connected to the master server node in the iarea to be a replacing node, and adjusts the replacing node to be the main node of the iarea to collect the temperature information in the iarea continuously.

Container system and monitoring method for container system

A method for obtaining an external IP address and its network protocol system are provided. A rack system of the network protocol system comprises a rack management controller (RMC), a power distribution unit and at least one node server. When a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service is lost in the rack system, a jumper of the rack management controller is detected to obtain an identification code. Then, a first temporary IP address of the rack management controller is obtained based on the identification code and a first table, and a first command package is sent to the power distribution unit by the rack management controller. After the first command package is received by the power distribution unit, an IP assign service is activated to set a second temporary IP address of the node server so that the node server can still communicate with the system management terminal.

Method for obtaining external IP address and its network protocol system

An abnormal status detecting method of interrupt pins is provided. In the invention, an advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) table is looked up for obtaining an interrupt status bit of each interrupt pin in a computer system. Afterwards, the interrupt status bit is continuously checked whether it is maintained at a specific value during a fixed time. When the interrupt status bit of one of the interrupt pins is maintained at the specific value during the fixed time, the interrupt pin is determined to be abnormal.
