The patent US12069373B2 describes an innovative operating apparatus designed to control a monitoring apparatus equipped with a camera, specifically for tracking targets on moving objects. The operating apparatus includes a controller that processes external target information and monitoring data from the camera. It determines driving information to ensure that the target remains within the camera's monitoring area. The controller also calculates an interlocking field of view (FOV) to adjust the monitoring area and transmits this information, along with a driving angle, to the monitoring apparatus. The claims detail various configurations of the controller, including the ability to assess target coordinates, shapes, and the camera's inclination and accuracy, which are essential for precise tracking.

Additionally, the monitoring apparatus is designed to receive driving angles and interlocking FOVs from the operating apparatus, allowing it to adjust the camera's pointing direction and FOV accordingly. The system can identify whether the target is within the monitoring area and can perform re-driving to maintain focus on the target if it moves out of view. The claims further elaborate on methods for determining driving accuracy, initial interlocking FOVs, and required FOVs for detection based on target characteristics. This comprehensive approach enhances the effectiveness of monitoring systems in dynamic environments, ensuring accurate target tracking and improved operational efficiency.
