The invention relates to a method for using computer to receive the video data input by the camera mobile phone, and relative system, wherein said method comprises: (1), connecting the mobile phone and the computer via data line; (2), the computer starts the video function of video application program, the operation system scans the hardware port of computer, and sending the video catch information via the application program interface; (3), the virtual camera device searches and catches the video catch information; (4), the computer checks the working condition of mobile phone if meets the data transmission; (5), if meets, the mobile phone enters into stepping state, to obtain the JPEG compressed code flow data, to be sent to the buffer region of image processing module; (6), the image processing module demands the data of buffer region, to transform the JPEG compressed code flow data into bit document to be caught and displayed by the video application program. The invention can transmit the video data to the computer, without writing fixed driving program into the mobile phone.
