Security Monitoring Device

Client: HIKANG, AURING
Hardware: ARM9/ARM11-based SoCs with video/audio decoder/encoder
Operating System: Linux

Overview

Products and technologies of FMSoft are applicable for various intelligent housing and security monitoring devices.

Intelligent housing is a typical application occasion of integrated Internet and Internet of Things. The Internet of Things, access of control system, the property management information, and housing electric appliances are connected through comprehensive wiring. Users can realize Internet accessing, security, intelligent housing electric appliances control and/or remote control, intelligent interactive control, auto environment control, and overall house entertainment through operating intelligent housing terminals (devices equipped with LCD display and touch-screen; common telephone size). FMSoft’s MiniGUI and mDolphin play an important role in intelligent housing terminal industry.

With the acceleration of urbanization, people pay greater attention to national, social, body, and property safety. And the security monitoring device has also being developed towards digital, intelligent, and high-definition from the original analog signals. In areas of security, FMSoft’s HybridOS products can be widely used in CCTV monitoring system and intelligent access control system.

Intelligent Housing Devices Based on MiniGUI/mDolphin

Intelligent housing control terminal devices can be easily built on Linux OS by using FMSoft’s MiniGUI and/or mDolphin. The solution is as shown in Figure 1.

This solution has the following advantages

  • MiniGUI provides the users with C language programming interface. The application developed based on MiniGUI occupies only a little resource and has a good running speed.
  • MiniGUI 3.0 and its components (mGEff, mGNCS, and mGNCS4Pad) can help to realize excellent UI effects almost as iPhone does. For interface special effects developed based on MiniGUI 3.0, please click here to download the demonstration program which runs on Windows platform.
  • It contains a full-featured browser,mDolphin. It allows users to access to the Internet seamlessly and obtain the same effect as browse runs on PC.
  •  The visual IDE (integrated development environment), miniStudio, can help to improve the development efficiency of application software.

Hardware platform recommendation

If you want to develop intelligent housing devices by MiniGUI/mDolphin or HybridOS, FMSoft recommends you that the following hardware platforms can be used:

  • Texas Instruments: Davinci series SoC,e.g.: DM365 and DM6446, etc.
  • Hisilicon Semiconductor: Hi3560 and Hi3716 etc.

CCTV Monitoring Device Based on MiniGUI

Besides the common monitoring function, more and more CCTV monitoring devices begin to support graphics user interface. FMSoft’s MiniGUI can provide complete graphics user interface solution for various CCTV monitoring devices.

This solution has the following advantages

  • It can support special display device as YUV device through MiniGUI graphics abstract layer and graphics engine technology. Therefore, it can directly overlap the graphical interface onto video layer to display.
  • When there’re multiple video devices, users can select one device as the main MiniGUI screen to realize complete multi-window system; other screens can be assistant screens on which the character rendering and graphical display functions can be realized.
  • MiniGUI provides C language programming interface. The application developed based on MiniGUI occupies only a little resource and has a good running speed.
  • MiniGUI 3.0 and its components (mGEff, mGNCS, and mGNCS4Pad) can help to realize excellent UI effects almost as iPhone does. For interface special effects developed based on MiniGUI3.0, please click here to download the demonstration program which runs on Windows platform.
  • The visual IDE (integrated development environment), miniStudio, can help to improve the development efficiency of application software.

If your hardware platform obtains the support from FMSoft’s HybridOS, you can build intelligent housing terminal device directly through HybridOS. You can benefit from using HybridOS as follow:

  • To some certain hardware platforms, this is a software developing solution that can be used immediately without any self-development. Besides MiniGUI, FMSoft integrates multi-media solutions as well as database and Gstreamer in HybridOS to help you develop application faster.
  •  The more perfect and visual IDE (integrated development environment), hybrdiStudio , provides more functions such as system debugging, deployment and the like compared with miniStudio.

Hardware platform recommendation

  • Texas Instruments: Davinci series SoC, e.g.: DM365, DM6446, and DM6467 etc.
  • HisiliconSemiconductor: Hi3560 and Hi3716 etc.

Typical cases

Intelligent access control terminal

Fujian AURING chooses FMSoft’s graphics middleware MiniGUI and mDolphin browser to develop a series of embedded access control devices with abundant functions as high resolution TFT LCD, touch-screen menu operation, hands-free phone, and doorbell, 8 security areas alarming, and information releasing function, etc.
