Patent ID: 8289394

Claim:
A system for providing image information using mobile communication Base Station (BS) antennas, comprising: a plurality of mobile communication BS antennas, each having a camera module for capturing a full area where the camera module is installed, for transmitting BS image information captured by the camera module to a remote control system, each of the mobile communication BS antennas includes: an antenna module including a typical radiation plate and a typical radiation device for transmitting or receiving a radio signal for a mobile communication service; the camera module being installed in a ray dome of the antenna for capturing a full service area of an antenna system; a transceiver for transmitting image information captured by the camera module to the remote control system and receiving a control signal from the remote control system; a camera driver for controlling the camera module according to the control signal received from the remote control system through the transceiver; a controller for providing overall control to operations of the mobile communication BS antenna including an operation of the camera driver; and a memory for storing data for the operations of the mobile communication antenna; wherein the controller controls a capturing direction of the camera module by transmitting the control signal received from the remote control system to the camera driver and stores an initial capturing direction of the camera module in the memory, so that the mobile communication BS antenna controls the camera module to the initial capturing direction; the remote control system having a BS image DB server, for storing the BS image information received from the plurality of mobile communication BS antennas on a BS basis and on an antenna basis in the BS image DB server; and a service server for receiving the BS image information from the BS image DB server and providing the BS image information to a user terminal; wherein three mobile communication BS antennas are installed in a general three-sector BS, one for each sector, and three camera modules are installed in the mobile communication BS antennas, one for each sector.
