Description

Technology Field

[0001] The technical field of the present disclosure relates to a method and device for providing image information, and is related to the technical field for acquiring and providing image information based on the movement of a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Display devices include both devices for recording or playing video and devices for recording or playing audio. Examples of such display devices include televisions, monitors, projectors, and tablets. As the functions of display devices become more diverse, they are being implemented in the form of multimedia devices equipped with complex functions such as taking photos or videos, playing games, and receiving broadcasts, in addition to broadcast output and video playback capabilities. Meanwhile, these display devices are installed inside vehicles to provide various data for the convenience of the driver. Conventionally, methods that allow the vehicle to operate based on remote vehicle control have often been used. When operating a vehicle remotely, video data is transmitted via a wireless network through a camera mounted on the vehicle, so that video data is provided not only to the display device inside the vehicle but also to the display device at the remote station. However, there is a limitation in that when transmitting video data to the display device at the remote station, the data transmission bandwidth is restricted depending on the performance of the wireless network, resulting in the quality of all video data being degraded or interrupted. Furthermore, conventional display devices installed inside vehicles have limitations in that they only output content limited to preset data types, such as vehicle status or functions, and provide multiple data at the same resolution, without outputting differentiated data in response to various events that may occur during vehicle operation. Therefore, there is a need for a method to transmit video data optimized according to vehicle operation and manipulation to a display at a remote station, and a method to enable the output of differentiated video data according to various events.

[0042] For a more specific method of operation of the device (100), refer to the contents of FIG. 2 and below.

[0044] FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining how a device (100) operates according to one embodiment.

[0045] Referring to step S10, a device (100) according to one embodiment corresponds to a plurality of directions and acquires a plurality of image information provided from a plurality of image devices. In this regard, it will be explained with reference to FIG. 3.

[0046] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a device (100) according to one embodiment acquires a plurality of image information.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 3, a device (100) according to one embodiment can acquire multiple image information including images captured from multiple directions from a plurality of image devices included in a vehicle. The device (100) can acquire multiple signals corresponding to multiple operations that can be operated inside the vehicle or multiple signals corresponding to multiple objects that can be detected from outside the vehicle. In one embodiment, the vehicle may include an excavator. The plurality of image devices may be at least one image device capable of capturing images positioned outside the vehicle to face multiple directions to capture the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle. The device (100) can acquire multiple image information corresponding to the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle captured from different directions from the plurality of image devices. The image views acquired by the device (100) from the plurality of image devices may include a front view (301), a bottom view (302), a rear view (303), a left view (304), and a right view (305). When the vehicle corresponds to an excavator, the front view (301) may include the boom, arm, and bucket of the excavator, and the lower view (302) may include the ground facing the boom, arm, and bucket of the excavator.

[0048] Referring to step S20, a device (100) according to one embodiment obtains user input for controlling a vehicle.

[0049] In one embodiment, the user input may include at least one of a movement direction control input that controls the movement direction of the vehicle, a work direction control input that controls the work direction of the vehicle, a movement direction intention input indicating the user's intention to control the movement direction, and a work direction intention input indicating the user's intention to control the work direction. In one embodiment, the movement direction control input may correspond to a control input that causes the position of the vehicle to change. Additionally, the work direction control input may correspond to a control input that causes the direction in which the upper or lower part of the vehicle faces to change so that the vehicle performs work at the same location. Additionally, the movement direction intention input may correspond to an operation input that allows the movement direction control input to be predicted before the movement direction control input is operated, and the work direction intention input may correspond to an operation input that allows the work direction control input to be predicted before the work direction control input is operated. Specifically, the movement direction intention input may include an operation input for at least one of a start switch, a turn signal, and a gear. Additionally, the movement direction control input may include an operation input for at least one of a driving lever, a steering lever, a steering wheel, and a pedal. The driving lever may include a forward lever and a reverse lever. In one embodiment, the vehicle may include an excavator, and the driving lever may include a forward lever and a reverse lever included in the excavator, so that the operation of the driving lever can be obtained as a movement direction control input. Additionally, in the case of a vehicle other than an excavator, steering wheel operation may be obtained as a movement direction control input. The control lever may include a joystick in the excavator. In the case of an excavator, the operation of the control lever may be obtained as a movement direction control input. The pedal may include an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal. The operation of the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal may be obtained as a movement direction control input.The position of the vehicle may be changed to a different location based on the operation timing at which the movement direction control input is acquired. For example, the ignition switch may be acquired as one of the movement direction intention inputs in that it is a device that can be operated prior to movement to move the vehicle or excavator. Additionally, the turn signal may be acquired as one of the movement direction intention inputs in that it is a device that can be operated prior to movement to change the direction of the vehicle or excavator. Furthermore, the gear may be acquired as one of the movement direction intention inputs in that it is a device that can be operated prior to movement to reverse the vehicle or excavator. The drive lever, control lever, handle, and pedal may be devices that directly control the movement direction during movement. When a user operates the drive lever, the control lever, or the pedal on the excavator, the position of the excavator may be changed to a different location based on the operation timing. Specifically, if the user operates the forward lever and pedal, the excavator may move in the forward direction according to the forward command, and if the user operates the reverse lever and pedal, the excavator may move in the reverse direction according to the reverse command. Additionally, when the user operates the control lever along with the driving lever and pedals, the excavator can move to a position that has been turned right or left after moving forward or backward, in accordance with commands such as "turn right after moving forward" or "turn left after moving forward" and "turn right after moving backward" or "turn left after moving backward". For vehicles other than the excavator, if the user operates the pedals based on whether the gear is engaged, the vehicle can move in the forward or reverse direction in accordance with commands such as "forward after moving forward" or "turn left after moving forward" and "turn right after moving backward" or "turn left after moving backward".That is, in one embodiment, the movement direction control input may correspond to an operation input that causes the position of the vehicle to be changed to a different position. In this regard, this will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and FIGS. 5.

[0050] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a control device for an excavator and / or vehicle controlled according to one embodiment.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the device (100) can control the operation of a crawler-type (tracked) or wheel-type (tire-type) excavator and / or vehicle. In FIG. 4, (A) may be an example of a crawler-type and (B) may be an example of a wheel-type. In one embodiment, the configuration of the vehicle's control device may include a left control lever (411) and a right control lever (412), and in the crawler-type (A), movement may be controlled via a driving lever (421) and a driving pedal (422). In addition, in the wheel-type (B), movement may be controlled via a handle (440) and a driving pedal (422). Furthermore, in the wheel-type, separate accelerator pedal and brake pedal (423) may be additionally included. The excavator and / or vehicle may include a start switch (430). Although a separate start switch (430) is not further indicated in (B), the start switch (430) may be included in some area of ​​(B). Additionally, the excavator and / or vehicle may further include a multi-function lever (450). For example, the multi-function lever (450) may be an example of a control device capable of operation input for at least one of a start switch, a turn signal, and a gear. In one embodiment, the multi-function lever (450) is shown as an example of a lever capable of operation input for at least one of a start switch, a turn signal, and a gear, but is not limited thereto, and separate control levers corresponding to each of the start switch, turn signal, and gear may be included.

[0052] FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example in which a vehicle (3000) is moved based on a movement direction control input according to one embodiment.

[0053] In FIG. 5, an example of a vehicle (3000) is shown as an excavator, but is not limited thereto. Referring to FIG. 4, when an operation input signal for the driving lever (421) and / or driving pedal (422) is obtained, the position of the vehicle (3000) can be moved forward, backward, forward and then left turn or forward and then right turn, backward and then left turn or backward and then left turn as the lower area (wheel area) of the vehicle (3000) moves. In FIG. 5, the case of an excavator is shown as an example, and the lever and pedal controlling the left or right wheel rail are distinguished, but is not limited thereto. As another example, in a vehicle (3000) other than an excavator or a wheeled excavator, it may be applied in the form of an additional option such as an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal (423).

[0054] In one embodiment, the work direction intention input may include an operation input for at least one of a control lever, a turn signal, and a gear. The work direction intention input may be an input capable of predicting the work direction of the vehicle. For example, the operation input of the control lever included in the work direction intention input corresponding to an excavator may have a preset control method corresponding to the direction of movement of the control lever. The work direction may change when the movement of at least one device among the boom, arm, and bucket is controlled according to the direction of movement of the control lever (forward, backward, diagonal direction, etc.). Additionally, when a turn signal is turned on, it can be predicted that work will be performed in the direction corresponding to the turned-on turn signal, and it can be predicted that work will be performed by moving forward or backward depending on the gear operation input. The work direction control input may include an operation input for at least one of a drive lever, a control lever, a handle, and a pedal. The work direction control input may represent an input that directly determines the work direction. Operation inputs that directly change the direction of work, such as moving forward or backward via a driving lever, moving at least one device among the boom, arm, and bucket via a control lever, or rotating via a handle, may be included in the work direction control input. For example, the input of the control lever itself may be included in the work direction intention input in that it is an input that can predict the direction of work to change in any direction, and the clear direction of movement of the control lever to determine the specific direction of work may be included in the work direction control input. In an excavator, a rotation control input may be obtained according to a preset control method corresponding to the direction of movement of the control lever. Based on the operation timing in which the work direction control input is obtained, the upper or lower part of the vehicle (3000) may be rotated. An example of the upper or lower part of the vehicle (3000) being rotated may be an example applied to an excavator.In this regard, the following will be explained with reference to FIGS. 6, FIGS. 7a, and FIGS. 7b.

[0055] FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example in which the upper part of a vehicle (3000) moves based on a work direction control input according to one embodiment.

[0056] FIGS. 7a and 7b are drawings for schematically illustrating an example in which the lower part of a vehicle moves based on a work direction control input according to one embodiment. In FIGS. 6, 7a, and 7b, an example of a vehicle (3000) is shown as an excavator, but is not limited thereto. In FIGS. 6, 7a, and 7b, an excavator is used as an example and the vehicle (3000) is described uniformly. When the device (100) obtains an operation input signal for at least one control lever (411, 412) included in the vehicle (3000) while the vehicle (3000) is stationary, it can determine that this signal corresponds to a work direction control input. Referring to FIG. 6, the movement of at least one device among a boom, arm, and bucket included in the vehicle (3000) can be controlled according to a preset work device control method corresponding to the direction of movement of the control lever (411, 412). Accordingly, the working direction may be changed as the position of at least one of the boom, arm, and bucket is moved. Additionally, the upper part of the vehicle (3000) may be rotated left and right according to a preset rotational control method corresponding to the direction of movement of the control levers (411, 412). Referring to FIGS. 7a and 7b, the device (100) may determine that when an operation input signal for a driving lever (421) and / or pedal included in the vehicle (3000) is obtained, it is a signal corresponding to the working direction control input. In one embodiment, the pedal may include a driving pedal (422). The lower part of the vehicle (3000) may be rotated in a direction corresponding to the operation input according to a preset rotational control method corresponding to the operation input of the driving lever (421) and / or driving pedal (422). For example, as in FIG. 7a, when operation input is obtained for one driving lever (421) or one pedal, only one track (wheel rail) is driven and an example of pivot rotation in which the direction is changed can be performed.Additionally, as shown in FIG. 7b, when an input is obtained in which the driving levers (421) on both sides are operated to face in different directions, such that one driving lever is operated to face forward and the other driving lever is operated to face backward, the left and right tracks (wheel rails) are driven in opposite directions to each other, thereby performing an example of spin rotation in which the direction is changed in place. Accordingly, the lower part of the vehicle (3000) can be rotated according to a preset rotation control method corresponding to the operation input.

[0057] Referring to step S30, a device (100) according to one embodiment determines a direction priority for at least one of a plurality of directions based on user input. In one embodiment, the direction priority may represent a priority based on importance corresponding to the direction that the user must check while driving. For example, among the plurality of directions, the priority of the direction corresponding to the direction of movement and / or the direction of work determined based on user input may be determined to be higher. The device (100) may determine the direction priority of the movement direction control input to be higher than the direction priority of the movement direction intention input. For example, since the movement direction intention input may be an input that can predict when the vehicle will move, and the movement direction control input may be a direct input regarding the movement of the vehicle, the priority of the direction corresponding to the movement direction control input may be determined to be higher than the priority of the direction corresponding to the movement direction intention input. As an example, the movement direction intention input may include a turn signal and the driver's view point. For example, when a turn signal is turned on, it can be predicted that the vehicle will move in the direction corresponding to the turned-on turn signal. Additionally, the driver's viewpoint can be acquired through an eye-tracking device. It can be predicted that the vehicle will move in the direction the acquired driver's viewpoint is facing. Furthermore, the device (100) can determine the direction priority of the work direction control input to be higher than the direction priority of the work direction intention input. For example, since the work direction intention input may be an input that can predict a change in the vehicle's work direction, and the work direction control input may be a direct input regarding the change in the vehicle's work direction, the priority of the direction corresponding to the work direction control input can be determined to be higher than the priority of the direction corresponding to the work direction intention input. Additionally, the device (100) can determine one or more directions among multiple directions that require monitoring for safety as the highest direction priority.Additionally, the device (100) may determine one or more directions among a plurality of directions that require monitoring for movement and / or work as direction secondary priority. The device (100) may determine direction priority based on direction primary priority and direction secondary priority. In one embodiment, the importance of a video view that requires monitoring for safety may be higher than that of a video view that requires monitoring for movement and / or work. Accordingly, the device (100) may determine the direction corresponding to the video view for safety as direction primary priority and the direction corresponding to the video view for movement and / or work as direction secondary priority. Referring to step S40, the device (100) according to one embodiment determines the video priority for at least one of a plurality of video information based on direction priority. For example, the device (100) may determine the video priority of each video view containing a plurality of video information according to direction priority. That is, the same priority may be applied to the direction priority and the video priority.

[0058] Referring to step S50, a device (100) according to one embodiment determines a quality level for a plurality of image information based on image priority. In this regard, it will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 and FIGS. 9.

[0059] FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example in which a device (100) according to one embodiment determines the priority of one or more directions of images that need to be monitored for safety.

[0060] A device (100) according to one embodiment may determine one or more directions requiring monitoring for safety based on obstacle detection signals obtained from at least one obstacle detection device (810). For example, at least one detection sensor may be included on the exterior of the vehicle (3000), and the device (100) may determine the directions requiring monitoring for safety based on obstacle detection signals obtained from the detection sensor. In one embodiment, the obstacle detection device (810) is not limited to a detection sensor and may further include an AI-based obstacle detection system, a radar sensor, etc. Referring to FIG. 8, the device (100) may detect obstacles around the vehicle (3000) based on obstacle detection signals obtained through the obstacle detection device (810) of the vehicle (3000). In FIG. 8, the device (100) may determine the left side as the direction requiring monitoring for safety by detecting an obstacle located on the left side of the vehicle (3000). Accordingly, the device (100) can determine the highest video priority for the left view (304). Additionally, the video priority of the front view (301), which can check the direction currently being moved or the direction being worked, can be determined to be the next highest after the video priority of the left view (304). When a direction requiring monitoring for safety is determined, among the multiple videos included in the video view, the video priority of the rear view (303), bottom view (302), and right view (305), which do not include the current direction of movement or work and do not detect obstacles, can be determined to be relatively low. Therefore, the quality level can be determined according to the order in which the video priority is determined to be high. That is, in FIG. 8, the quality level of the left view (304) can be determined to be the highest level (Level 1), the quality level of the front view (301) can be determined to be the second level, which is lower than Level 1, and the quality level of the rear view (303), bottom view (302), and right view (305) can be determined to be the third level, which is lower than Level 2.Therefore, video views with different resolutions applied according to the quality level determined based on the video view for safety can be provided (displayed).

[0061] FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example in which a device (100) according to one embodiment determines one or more video priorities that need to be monitored for movement and / or work.

[0062] In one embodiment, the device (100) can determine the priority of the image in the direction corresponding to the direction of movement or the direction of work when the direction of movement or the direction of work of the vehicle (3000) is determined based on user input. Referring to FIG. 9, when the direction of movement or the direction of work of the vehicle (3000) is determined to be to the right based on user input, the priority of the image of the right view (305) can be determined to be the highest. Additionally, the priority of the image of the front view (301), which can confirm the direction of movement or the direction of work currently being performed, can be determined to be the next highest after the priority of the image of the right view (305). When the direction of movement or the direction of work is determined, among the multiple images included in the image view, the priority of the rear view (303), bottom view (302), and left view (304), which do not include the current direction of movement or the direction of work, or the direction to be moved or the direction to be worked, can be determined to be relatively low. That is, in FIG. 8, the quality level of the right view (305) can be determined to be the highest level, the quality level of the front view (301) to be the second level lower than the first level, and the quality levels of the rear view (303), bottom view (302), and left view (304) to be the third level lower than the second level. Accordingly, an image view with a different resolution applied according to the quality level determined based on the image view for movement and / or work direction can be provided (displayed).

[0063] As another example, the device (100) can determine whether there is overlap between at least one object included in the mutual image based on image information included in the mutual image corresponding to adjacent directions based on image priority. The mutual image represents an image located in an adjacent direction. For example, the front view (301) and the bottom view (302), the front view (301) and the left view (304), and the front view (301) and the right view (306) may be mutual images. Specifically, the mutual image represents an image in which the same information may be included in multiple image information obtained from multiple image devices. For example, the front view (301) and the left view (304) may include images taken with respect to adjacent directions, so a part of the same object may be included in duplicate. Depending on the position of the multiple image devices, the shooting areas may overlap, and the image information included in the mutual image may be duplicated. An object represents at least one object that can be identified in the image. In one embodiment, the overlap between at least one object among the image information included in the mutual image indicates whether the same area for the same object is provided (displayed) in the mutual image in an overlapping manner. The device (100) can determine a quality level based on the overlap. If there is an overlap area between at least one object included in the mutual image, the device (100) can determine the quality level of the image view with a previously determined high image priority among the mutual images to be high, and determine the quality level of the image view with a previously determined low image priority to be lower.In the case where an overlapping area exists, since the same area of ​​the same object is provided in duplicate across two or more video views, it may be less efficient to determine a high quality level for all duplicated video views. Therefore, it may be desirable to determine a high quality level for the video view with the highest video priority among all duplicated video views. Accordingly, for video views excluding the view with the highest video priority among all duplicated video views, the quality level may be lowered from the previously determined quality level to a preset level or lower. For example, if the existing quality level was Level 2, the quality level may be lowered to Level 2.5 or Level 2.7, which is lower than Level 2 but higher than Level 3. Level 2.5 may be higher than Level 2.7, and Level 2.7 may be higher than Level 3. As another example, the device (100) may adjust the extent to which the quality level is lowered from the previously determined quality level to a preset level or lower based on the area of ​​the overlapping overlapping region. For example, among multiple image views provided redundantly, excluding the view with the highest image priority, if the area of ​​an object in the overlapping region corresponds to the first percent (e.g., 50 percent) or more of the total area of ​​the object, the quality level for the corresponding image view may be lowered by one step from the previously determined quality level because the area of ​​the same object in the mutual images is provided redundantly by more than a preset percentage. For example, if the existing quality level was the second level, it may be lowered to the third level.In addition, among multiple video views provided redundantly, excluding the video view with the highest video priority, if the area of ​​the object in the overlapping region corresponds to less than 1 percent (e.g., 50 percent) of the total area of ​​the object, the quality level of that video view may be lowered to less than half the previously determined quality level. For example, if the existing quality level was level 2, it may be lowered to level 2.5 or level 2.7. Specifically, if the area of ​​the object in the overlapping region corresponds to less than 2 percent (e.g., 25 percent), which is lower than 1 percent of the total area of ​​the object, the quality level of that video view may be lowered to level 2.5 if the existing quality level was level 2. In addition, if the area of ​​the object in the overlapping region is 2 percent or more but less than 1 percent of the total area of ​​the object, the quality level of that video view may be lowered to level 2.7 if the existing quality level was level 2. Therefore, the quality level can be adjusted by determining the importance of each image view differently based on the ratio of the object area of ​​the overlapping region to the total object area.

[0064] In another embodiment, the device (100) can determine a quality level for each of the video views that provide multiple video information based on weights that are gradually lowered in the order of the direction requiring safety monitoring, the direction of movement, and the direction of operation. For example, the video view corresponding to the direction requiring safety monitoring may be determined to have the highest quality level because it may be a video view related to safety that is directly related to human life. Additionally, the movement direction control input corresponding to the direction of movement may be given a second-higher weight in that the position of the vehicle (3000) changes to a different position according to the input signal, and thus the probability of a dangerous situation occurring at various positions may be included. Additionally, the operation direction control input corresponding to the direction of operation may be given a third-higher weight in that the operation direction changes the direction of operation of the vehicle according to the input signal, and thus the position of the vehicle (3000) can be maintained at the same position, and thus the probability of a dangerous situation occurring may be lower than the probability according to the direction of movement. Accordingly, even if input signals corresponding to the direction requiring safety monitoring, the direction of movement, and the direction of operation are not acquired at the same time, the quality level of the image view corresponding to the direction requiring safety monitoring may be determined as the first level as an initial setting value, the quality level of the image view corresponding to the direction of movement may be determined as the 1.5 level, and the quality level of the image view corresponding to the direction of operation may be determined as the second level. Accordingly, communication delay situations that may occur when all views are always provided at the highest quality level can be prevented.

[0065] In another example, in the case where an operation input for a control lever is obtained as an operation direction intention input and an operation input for a control lever is obtained as an operation direction control input, and after a device control input for controlling two or more devices among a boom, arm, and bucket is obtained as an operation direction intention input, a rotation control input is obtained as an operation direction control input, the device (100) can determine the quality level for each of the image views in which multiple image information is provided based on weights that are gradually lowered in the order of the direction requiring safety monitoring, the operation direction, and the movement direction. The highest weight may be assigned to the direction requiring safety monitoring for the same reasons as described above. In addition, generally, changing the position of the vehicle (3000) to a different position may result in a lower probability of dangerous situations occurring than changing the direction of work from the same position. However, when changing the direction of work after controlling more than half of the devices among the boom, arm, and bucket in the excavator, the probability of colliding with an obstacle (object) outside the vehicle (3000) may be significantly higher depending on the direction of work, unlike a general vehicle (3000), so a higher weight may be assigned to the direction of operation than to the direction of movement. Therefore, even if input signals corresponding to the direction requiring safety monitoring, the direction of operation, and the direction of movement are not acquired at the same time, the quality level of the video view corresponding to the direction requiring safety monitoring may be determined as the first level as an initial setting value, the quality level of the video view corresponding to the direction of operation may be determined as the 1.5 level, and the quality level of the video view corresponding to the direction of movement may be determined as the second level.

[0066] Referring to step S60, the device (100) according to one embodiment provides all or part of a plurality of image information according to a quality level.

[0067] FIG. 10a is a schematic diagram illustrating an example in which a device (100) according to one embodiment provides image information with different quality levels applied based on the straight direction of a vehicle (3000).

[0068] FIG. 10b is a schematic diagram illustrating an example in which a device according to one embodiment provides image information with different quality levels applied based on the reverse direction of a vehicle.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 10a, when the vehicle (3000) is moving forward, the device (100) can determine the quality level of the front view (301) and the bottom view (302) as a first level, determine the quality level of the left view (304) and the right view (305) as a second level, and determine the quality level of the rear view (303) as a third level. That is, when the vehicle (3000) is moving forward, the situation in front may be important and the condition of the ground below to be passed may be important, so by determining the quality level of the front view (301) and the bottom view (302) as a first level, the front view (301) and the bottom view (302) can be provided as images with the highest resolution. In addition, while the vehicle (3000) is moving forward, there may be obstacles on both sides and situations that restrict the movement path may be included, so the images on both sides may need to have a certain level of resolution guaranteed. Accordingly, the device (100) can determine the quality level of the left view (304) and the right view (305) to be the second level, thereby providing images with a resolution lower than the first level for the left view (304) and the right view (305). Additionally, when the vehicle (3000) moves forward, the rear view is likely not included in the path of travel, so the quality level of the rear view (303) can be determined to be the third level, thereby providing images with a resolution lower than the second level for the rear view (303).

[0070] Referring to FIG. 10b, when the vehicle (3000) is reversing, the device (100) can determine the quality level of the rear view (303) as the first level, determine the quality level of the left view (304) and right view (305) as the second level, and determine the quality level of the front view (301) and bottom view (302) as the third level. That is, when the vehicle (3000) is reversing, the rear situation may be important. Also, while the vehicle (3000) is reversing, there may be obstacles on both sides or situations that restrict the movement path, so the images on both sides may need to have a certain level of resolution guaranteed. Therefore, the device (100) can ensure that the resolution of the left view (304) and right view (305) is lower than the first level by determining the quality level of the left view (304) and right view (305) as the second level. Additionally, in one example, when the vehicle (3000) is reversing, the front is likely not included in the movement path, so the quality level of the front view (301) can be determined as the third level. Also, in one example, for example, with an excavator, the lower view (302) may include the ground facing the boom, arm, and bucket of the excavator. That is, the ground area corresponding to the lower front of the vehicle (3000) may be included in the lower view (302). Therefore, when the vehicle (3000) is reversing, the lower view (302) is likely not included in the movement path, so the quality level of the lower view (302) can be determined as the third level. Accordingly, the resolution of the front view (301) and the lower view (302) can be provided as images lower than the second level.

[0071] In one embodiment, the device (100) may change the area provided in the lower view (302) based on the user's selection input. For example, the device (100) may include a ground area corresponding to the lower part of the body of the vehicle (3000) in the lower view (302) according to the user's selection input. When the vehicle (3000) is reversing, if the first ground area corresponding to the lower part of the existing front is included in the lower view (302), the quality level of the lower view (302) may be determined as a third level; however, if the second ground area corresponding to the lower part of the body of the vehicle (3000) is included in the lower view (302), the lower view (302) may include a part of the movement path during reversing, so the quality level of the lower view (302) may be determined as a first level or a second level based on the state information of the second ground area. For example, if the ground condition is uneven (when gravel or stones exceeding a preset percentage are detected), the quality level of the lower view (302) can be determined as the first level, and if the ground condition is even (sand, asphalt), the quality level of the lower view (302) can be determined as the second level.

[0072] As another example, if the device (100) determines that the ground condition of the second ground area corresponding to the lower part of the body of the vehicle (3000) is uneven, it can automatically change the lower view (302) corresponding to the lower part of the existing front to the lower view (302) corresponding to the lower part of the body of the vehicle (3000). Accordingly, the device (100) may determine the quality level of the lower view (302) to the first level whether the vehicle (3000) is moving forward or backward.

[0073] FIGS. 11a and FIGS. 11b are schematic diagrams illustrating an example in which a device (100) according to one embodiment provides image information with quality levels applied based on a direction priority and a direction secondary priority.

[0074] A device (100) according to one embodiment may determine a direction that is determined to require monitoring for safety as the highest priority direction and a direction that is determined to require monitoring for movement and / or work as the second priority direction. When the direction that is determined to require monitoring for safety and the direction that is determined to require monitoring for movement and / or work are acquired simultaneously, the device (100) may determine the quality level of the image view corresponding to the highest priority direction as the first level, and the quality level of the image view corresponding to the second priority direction as the 1.5 level, which is lower than the first level and higher than the second level. In FIG. 11b, the direction that is required to monitor for safety may be the left side of the vehicle (3000), so the left view (304) may be the image view corresponding to the highest priority direction. Also, in FIG. 11a, the direction that is required to monitor for movement and / or work may be the right side of the vehicle (3000), so the right view (305) may be the image view corresponding to the second priority direction. In FIG. 11a, it can be seen that the highest resolution is provided (displayed) as the quality level of the right view (305) corresponding to the direction requiring monitoring for movement and / or work is determined to be the first level. Additionally, it can be seen that the resolution is applied in the order of quality levels as the quality level of the front view (301) is determined to be the second level and the quality level of the left view (304) is determined to be the third level. In FIG. 11b, when an obstacle is detected and a direction requiring monitoring for safety is determined and a direction requiring monitoring for movement and / or work are simultaneously acquired, the quality level of the left view (304) corresponding to the highest priority direction may be updated. The device (100) may determine the quality level of the left view (304) corresponding to the highest priority direction as the first level and the quality level of the right view (305) corresponding to the second highest priority direction as the 1.5 level.Therefore, the left view (304) can be provided at the highest resolution, and the right view (305) can be provided at a lower resolution than the left view (304). Additionally, since the current direction of movement and the current direction of operation of the vehicle (3000) can be checked through the front view (301), the quality level of the front view (301) can be determined as the second level, so that the front view (301) can be provided at a lower resolution than the video view corresponding to the highest priority and second priority of direction. By determining the quality level of the video view corresponding to the highest priority and second priority of direction and the video view other than the front view (301) as the third level, the video view that is judged to include an unimportant area can be provided at the lowest resolution. Therefore, among the multiple video information acquired from multiple video devices, video views requiring detailed information (data) display and video views where brief information (data) display is acceptable are distinguished, and multiple video views with different quality applied are provided. This reduces the time delay / waiting time that may occur due to limited bandwidth when all video views are provided at the same quality, thereby allowing users to receive important video views with high quality and minimal time delay / waiting time.

[0075] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a flowchart for providing image information according to one embodiment.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 12, at step S110, the device (100) according to one embodiment provides a default view. At step S121, if a control command is input based on user input, at step S120, the device (100) provides a predefined view corresponding to the control command. At step S130, the device (100) detects whether there is a direction requiring monitoring for safety. If no safety issue is detected, the device (100) continues to provide the predefined view, and if a safety issue is detected, at step S140, the device (100) may provide a safety view overlay. For example, the device (100) may determine and provide the highest resolution of the view corresponding to the safety view and provide a warning message on the main view indicating the location of the image view corresponding to the safety view. The main view may be an area including a front view (301) or a bottom view (302). The device (100) may determine the highest resolution of the image view corresponding to the safety view to update the main view to the view corresponding to the safety view, and may provide the safety view through the main view with a warning message indicating the location of the safety view. In step S150, the device (100) checks whether the safety issue has been resolved (Issue solved?). If the safety issue has not been resolved, the device (100) continues to provide the safety view, and if the safety issue has been resolved, it returns to step S120 to provide the preset view. For example, the resolution may be lowered back to the original resolution to provide it. The device (100) may repeatedly perform the image information provision process corresponding to the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 12 based on a plurality of signals obtained from inside or outside the vehicle (3000).

[0077] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a more detailed flowchart of image information provision according to one embodiment.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 13, in step S110, the device (100) provides an initial setting view defined at the initial start as it controls the remotely controllable equipment and controller based on network traffic. In step S210, if an Auto Idle command indicating that there is no control command for a specific period is input, the device (100) according to one embodiment returns to step S110 and continues to provide the initial setting view. Additionally, although the example described in FIG. 12 is that step S120 is performed when step S121 is input, to be more specific, if the Auto Idle command is not input in step S210 and a control command is input based on user input in step S121, it can be determined in step S220 whether the control command is included within a preset Dead Zone. The Dead Zone may represent an area for identifying invalid control commands corresponding to minute movements that are not determined to be valid control commands. For example, if even minute movements are all determined as valid control commands, there may be numerous instances of malfunction. Therefore, by checking whether the input control command falls within the dead zone, if it falls within the dead zone, it is determined as an invalid control command and the process returns to step S110, thereby continuously providing the initial setting view. If the input control command does not fall within the dead zone and is determined to be a valid control command outside of it, in step S120, the device (100) provides a preset view corresponding to the control command. For example, in step S221, if the device (100) obtains an intention to move direction regarding a turn signal, a driver's viewpoint, etc., based on user input, it provides a preset view corresponding to the intention to move direction input.In one embodiment, the device (100) converts the quality level of the video view for both the control command and the movement direction intention input, even if the video view is different. Therefore, the user can be provided with a video view having a higher quality level for both. Additionally, the device (100) improves the quality level of the video view corresponding to the movement direction intention input when only the movement direction intention input is obtained without a control command being input, so the user can be provided with a high quality level video view before the control command is input. The device (10) provides a preset view corresponding to the control command or the movement direction intention input, and compares and analyzes network traffic between the preset view and the initial preset view to determine whether the video view can be provided within a limited bandwidth corresponding to the maximum amount of data transmission that the network can process. If it is determined that the configured video view cannot provide the video view within the limited bandwidth because the network traffic is exceeded, the quality level of the video view with lower priority is adjusted to be lowered, and if the network traffic is still exceeded even after adjustment, the video view is turned off sequentially in the order of the video view with lower priority to satisfy the network traffic. If it is determined that the configured video view can provide the video view within the limited bandwidth because the network traffic is satisfied, steps S130 through S150 may be performed sequentially as described in FIG. 12.

[0079] FIG. 14 is a diagram schematically illustrating, through a setup table, an example in which the quality level for each of a plurality of image devices is determined differently according to a plurality of situations in one embodiment.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 14, multiple image information (view 1, view 2, view 3, etc.) may be displayed simply or in detail according to different control commands depending on the situation. For example, when a command for control 1 is entered according to user input, the device (100) may determine the quality level of view 1 and view 3 to be high so that data displayed in detail in view 1 and view 3 may be provided, and may determine the quality level of view 2 to be low so that data displayed simply in view 2 may be provided. Additionally, when a command for control 2 is entered according to user input, the device (100) may determine the quality level of view 1 to be high so that data displayed in detail in view 1 may be provided, and may determine the quality level of view 2 and view 3 to be low so that data displayed simply in view 2 and view 3 may be provided. In this way, the quality level of each of the multiple video views can be determined differently to correspond to each of the various multiple situations, and depending on the determined quality level, the video views can be provided in different ways or at different resolutions for each quality level.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the efficiency of video provision can be improved in that multiple video information can be provided with different qualities depending on the surrounding conditions of the vehicle (3000) and the driving state of the vehicle (3000), and satisfaction can be improved in that the user can more clearly check important video information and help reduce the risk of accidents. In addition, the accuracy of video information provision can be improved in that different video priorities can be applied depending on various situations.
