Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted components, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted streaming media interior rearview mirror assembly and a vehicle integrated with an ETC module. Background Art

[0002] The fully automatic electronic toll collection system (ETC, Electronic Toll Collection) is one of the service functions of the intelligent transportation system. It is particularly suitable for use on highways or bridges and tunnels with heavy traffic. As long as the car owner installs an induction card on the front windshield of the vehicle, there is no need to pay the toll manually or stop when passing through the toll station. The highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, which means automatic toll collection can be achieved. This toll collection system takes less than two seconds to collect fees per car, and the traffic capacity of its toll channel is 5 to 10 times that of the manual toll channel. The use of a fully automatic electronic toll collection system can make highway tolls paperless and cashless, fundamentally eliminate the loss of toll tickets, and solve the problem of chaotic financial management in highway toll collection. In addition, the implementation of a fully automatic electronic toll collection system can also save infrastructure costs and management costs.

[0003] For the convenience of traffic, more and more car owners have installed ETC modules, which are usually pasted on the windshield on the side of the co-pilot's steering wheel. Some also directly clip the module on the rearview mirror.

[0004] In addition, currently, the existing vehicle streaming media rearview mirror assembly generally includes: a front frame, an LCD module, a backlight module, a display driver module and a rear shell, wherein the backlight module also includes a base, and grooves are provided at both ends of the base, and heat sinks are provided on both grooves. The ETC module and the vehicle streaming media rearview mirror assembly are completely independent of each other, and most of the ETC modules are post-installed components, which need to be wired and connected separately, which not only adds extra costs, but also reduces the aesthetics of the vehicle interior.
