The invention relates to the technical field of customization of
multimedia acquisition devices and discloses a device for configuring
multimedia acquisition devices by using
multimedia. The method comprises the following steps that: firstly,
software is installed on configuration device is operated firstly, and the
software automatically encodes configuration information into a picture, a video or an audio on the configuration device according to the information input by a user or information automatically detected by the
software or the information automatically detected by configured equipment and acquired by the software; then, the picture, the video or the audio are outputted to the configured device; and finally, the configured device
decodes an inputted picture or video or audio, and carries out automatic configuration according to the configuration information obtained through decoding. According to the invention, the configured device and the configuration device are not required to be provided with other specialized
communication interface devices, and the transmission of configuration information is implemented by using existing indispensable s image or voice inputting / outputting devices on the two devices, thereby reducing the number of devices on the configured device, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the device.
