Description

[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0059369, filed May 7, 2021, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to a system for recording a driving video and a method of operating the same. BACKGROUND

[0004] A built-in driving video recording system is a device that records and stores a video of an area around a vehicle using a front camera and a rear camera during driving or parking. The built-in driving video recording system sensitively changes impact sensing sensitivity during the vehicle is off (engine off).

[0005] The built-in driving video recording system recognizes an impact that occurs when a driver gets on or off the vehicle by opening or closing a door, and ignores the corresponding impact so that unnecessary impact sensing video storage and impact sensing notification are not performed. That is, the built-in driving video recording system uses door opening / closing information to filter an impact sensing event so that unnecessary impact sensing video storage and impact sensing notification are prevented in a case where the vehicle is turned on (ignition) after getting off or getting on the vehicle after the vehicle is turned off (engine off).

[0006] However, for the following cases, unnecessary impact sensing cannot be prevented by filtering the impact event using the door opening and closing information.

[0007] ① In a case where the driver does not open or close the door but excessively moves inside the vehicle in the condition that the vehicle is turned off;

[0008] ② In a case where the door is opened, the driver gets off the vehicle after a certain period of time in a situation where the vehicle is moved (vibration / impact, etc.) so as to be sufficient to sense the vibration of the vehicle, and then the door is closed after a certain period of time;

[0009] ③ In a case where the door is opened, the driver gets on the vehicle after a certain period of time in a situation where the vehicle is moved (vibration / impact, etc.) so as to be sufficient to sense the vibration of the vehicle, and then the door is closed after a certain period of time;

[0010] ④ In a case where the driver generates an impact that is not related to the opening and closing of the door.

[0011] Thus, unnecessary impact sensing video is stored in the storage space of the built-in driving video recording system and occupies capacity, and impact sensing notification is unnecessarily transmitted to the user (e.g., the driver) by means of a connection service, which causes inconvenience.

[0012] The information disclosed in the Background section is to aid in understanding the background of the present application, and should not be considered as admitting that this information constitutes prior art. SUMMARY

Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

[0062] Figure 1 To show a block diagram of a driving video recording system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0063] The driving video recording system 100 can be built in a vehicle and can perform always recording, event recording, or manual recording of a video of an area around the vehicle during driving or parking, and store the video of the area around the vehicle. In addition, during parking, when an impact is sensed, the driving video recording system 100 can identify a cause of the impact based on a position of a driver and a door state, and perform impact-sensing video storage and / or impact-sensing notification service based on the cause of the impact.

[0064] Referring to Figure 1 , the driving video recording system 100 can include a first camera 110, a second camera 120, a body controller 130, a communication device 140, a gateway 150, an output device 160, and a video recorder 170.

[0065] The first camera 110 and the second camera 120 can be mounted at different positions of the vehicle, respectively, and capture videos of surrounding areas, respectively. For example, the first camera 110 can be mounted at a front portion of the vehicle to capture a video of an area in front of the vehicle, and the second camera 120 can be mounted at a rear portion of the vehicle to capture a video of an area behind the vehicle. Although two cameras 110 and 120 mounted in the vehicle are disclosed in Figure 1 The present application can not be limited to the two cameras 110 and 120 mounted in the vehicle, and three or more cameras can be mounted at different positions. For example, the cameras can be mounted at a front portion, a rear portion, and a side portion of the vehicle, respectively.

[0066] The body controller 130 can detect a position of a driver and transmit the detected position of the driver to the video recorder 170. The body controller 130 can detect a position of a user (e.g., a driver) who has a smart key (SMK) by means of a plurality of low frequency (LF) antennas mounted in the vehicle. In addition, the body controller 130 can measure (detect) a position of a user equipment (UE) using ultra wide band (UWB) technology. The user equipment (UE) can be a smart phone or the like that can function as a key of the vehicle. In an embodiment, the body controller 130 is described as detecting a position of a driver, but the present application is not limited thereto. Other controllers (electric control units, ECUs) in the vehicle can be implemented to detect a position of a driver.

[0067] The communication device 140 can support a connection service using a wireless communication network. The wireless communication network can be a wireless Internet network (e.g., Wi-Fi), a short distance network, and / or a mobile communication network. The communication device 140 can transmit an impact sensing notification to a user equipment (UE) in response to a request (instruction) of the video recorder 170.

[0068] The gateway 150 can be used to connect various vehicle communication networks (or communication domains) to each other. When the body controller 130, the communication device 140, and the video recorder 170 use different vehicle communication networks, the body controller 130, the communication device 140, and the video recorder 170 can exchange data (information) with each other by means of the gateway 150. When the body controller 130, the communication device 140, and the video recorder 170 use the same vehicle communication network, information can be exchanged with each other without the gateway 150. The vehicle communication network can be implemented as a controller area network (CAN), a CAN with flexible data rate (CAN-FD), a media oriented system transport (MOST), a local interconnect network (LIN), an Ethernet, and / or a Flexray.

[0069] The output device 160 can output visual information, audible information, and the like. The output device 160 can play and output a video. The output device 160 can be implemented as an audio video navigation (AVN), an infotainment system, and the like.

[0070] The video recorder 170 can record the video captured by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 at all times during driving or parking, at the occurrence of an event, or in response to a manual command of the user, based on a user setting. The video recorder 170 can include a sensor 171, a memory 172, a processor 173, and the like. The video recorder 170 can be implemented in the form of a system on chip (SoC).

[0071] The sensor 171 can sense an impact occurring on the vehicle. When an impact occurs on the vehicle, the sensor 171 can measure an impact value (or an impact amount). The sensor 171 can transmit the measured impact value (sensing value) to the processor 173. The sensor 171 can be implemented as an acceleration sensor (G sensor) that measures acceleration generated by an impact and / or vibration.

[0072] The memory 172 can store a video captured (acquired) by the first camera 110 and / or the second camera 120. The memory 172 can store an impact sensing sensitivity, a recording scheme, and the like, which are preset by a user (e.g., a driver). The memory 172 can store a lookup table in which an impact sensing criterion based on the impact sensing sensitivity, i.e., a reference impact value, is defined. The impact sensing sensitivity can be classified into a driving impact sensing sensitivity, an impact sensing sensitivity during parking, a first impact sensing sensitivity during first parking, and / or a second impact sensing sensitivity during second parking. The recording scheme can be classified into an always recording during driving, an event recording during driving, an always recording during parking, and / or an event recording during parking. The event recording during driving and the event recording during parking are schemes in which a video is recorded when an event, such as impact sensing, and the like, occurs.

[0073] The memory 172 can be a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions executed by the processor 173. The memory 172 can further include a non-volatile medium such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), an embedded multi media card (eMMC), and / or a universal flash storage (UFS). The memory 172 can be implemented as at least one storage medium among a secure digital card (SD card), a random access memory (RAM), a static random access memory (SRAM), a read only memory (ROM), a programmable read only memory (PROM), an electrically programmable ROM (EEPROM), a flash memory, a register, a mobile storage, a web storage, and the like.

[0074] The processor 173 can control the overall operation of the video recorder 170. The processor 173 can be implemented as at least one processing device among an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a digital signal processor (DSP), a programmable logic device (PLD), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a central processing unit (CPU), a microcontroller, and / or a microprocessor.

[0075] The processor 173 can perform video recording using the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 based on a user setting such as a preset recording scheme, an impact sensing sensitivity, and the like. When the recording scheme is set to event recording during parking, the processor 173 can convert the impact sensing sensitivity during parking from a driving impact sensing sensitivity to an impact sensing sensitivity during parking. That is, when the vehicle state is switched from a driving state to a parking state, the processor 173 can change (modify) the impact sensing criterion. The processor 173 can recognize a vehicle off or engine off state, and the like, as a parking state.

[0076] The processor 173 can determine whether there is an impact based on an impact value measured by the sensor 171. The processor 173 can determine whether the impact value measured by the sensor 171 exceeds the impact sensing criterion (reference impact value). When the measured impact value exceeds the impact sensing criterion, the processor 173 can determine an impact. When the measured impact value does not exceed the impact sensing criterion, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact. The impact sensing criterion can be changed based on a preset impact sensing sensitivity.

[0077] The processor 173 can identify (detect) the position of the driver and the door state during parking by communication with the body controller 130. When the driver is in the vehicle or the driver is within a critical radius from the vehicle with the door open, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact.

[0078] The processor 173 can determine whether to store the impact sensing video and perform the impact sensing notification service based on the position of the driver and the door state when an impact is sensed during parking. The processor 173 can store the video photographed by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 as the impact sensing video in the storage 172 based on the determination. In addition, the processor 173 can transmit the impact sensing notification to the user equipment (UE) using the communication device 140 based on the determination.

[0079] As an example, when an impact is sensed while the driver is not in the vehicle and the driver is not within a critical radius from the vehicle with the door open, the processor 173 can store the impact sensing video in the memory 172 and transmit an impact sensing notification to a user equipment (UE). In other words, when an impact value measured by the sensor 171 exceeds a reference impact value, the driver is not in the vehicle, and the door is open with the driver not within a predetermined critical radius from the vehicle, the processor 173 can determine to store the impact sensing video and perform an impact sensing notification service. Based on the determination situation, the processor 173 can store the video photographed by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 for a predetermined time range based on an impact sensing time point. For example, when an impact is sensed, the processor 173 can store the video between -10 seconds and +10 seconds based on the impact sensing time point as the impact sensing video. In addition, the processor 173 can transmit a notification of the impact sensing to the driver's smartphone based on the determination situation.

[0080] As another example, when an impact is sensed, the processor 173 can immediately store the impact sensing video in the memory 172. In other words, when an impact value measured by the sensor 171 exceeds a reference impact value, the processor 173 can store the video photographed by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 for a predetermined time range based on an impact sensing time point. Thereafter, the processor 173 can determine whether to perform an impact sensing notification service based on a location of the driver and a door state. When the driver is not in the vehicle and the driver is not within a critical radius from the vehicle with the door open, the processor 173 can transmit an impact sensing notification to a user equipment (UE). When the driver is in the vehicle or the driver is within a critical radius from the vehicle with the door open, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact without providing an impact sensing notification service.

[0081] As another example, the processor 173 can set the impact sensing sensitivity differently based on a location of the driver during parking and a door state. When the driver is not in the vehicle and the driver is not within a critical radius from the vehicle when the door is open, the processor 173 can change the impact sensing sensitivity to a first impact sensing sensitivity during a first parking. Also, when the driver is in the vehicle or the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle when the door is open, the processor 173 can change the impact sensing sensitivity to a second impact sensing sensitivity during a second parking, to be lower than the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking. The processor 173 can measure an impact value using the sensor 171 after changing the impact sensing sensitivity. When the measured impact value exceeds a reference impact value based on the set impact sensing sensitivity, the processor 173 can store an impact sensing video in the memory 172 and transmit an impact sensing notification to a user equipment (UE). When the measured impact value does not exceed the reference impact value based on the set impact sensing sensitivity, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact.

[0082] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for operating a driving video recording system according to a first embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0083] Referring to Figure 2 The processor 173 can determine whether the vehicle is parked (S100). The processor 173 can recognize this when the vehicle state is switched from a driving state to a parked state. For example, the processor 173 can recognize parking of the vehicle when the vehicle is turned off.

[0084] The processor 173 can change the impact sensing sensitivity during parking (S110). When the vehicle state is switched from the driving state to the parked state, the processor 173 can change the impact sensing sensitivity from a driving impact sensing sensitivity to an impact sensing sensitivity during parking.

[0085] The processor 173 can measure an impact value using the sensor 171 (S120). The sensor 171 can measure acceleration caused by an impact and / or a vibration and transmit the measured acceleration to the processor 173 as the impact value.

[0086] The processor 173 can determine whether the measured impact value exceeds a reference impact value (S130). The reference impact value can be changed based on a preset impact sensing sensitivity.

[0087] When the measured impact value exceeds the reference impact value, the processor 173 can determine whether the driver is in the vehicle (S140). The processor 173 can determine whether the driver is in the vehicle with the aid of the body controller 130. The body controller 130 can measure the position of a smart key possessed by the driver using LF communication or measure the position of a user equipment (UE) (e.g., a smartphone) possessed by the driver using UWB technology, and transmit the measured position information to the processor 173 of the video recorder 170.

[0088] When the driver is not in the vehicle, the processor 173 can determine whether the door is open and whether the driver is within a critical radius from the vehicle (S150). The processor 173 can determine whether the door is open with the aid of the body controller 130, and can also identify the position of the driver.

[0089] When the door is open and the driver is not within the critical radius from the vehicle, the processor 173 can store impact-sensing video (S160). The processor 173 can store video captured by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 in a predetermined time range based on an impact-sensing time point in the memory 172.

[0090] The processor 173 can perform an impact-sensing notification service (S170). The processor 173 can transmit an impact-sensing notification to a user equipment (UE) possessed by the driver using the communication device 140.

[0091] When the measured impact value does not exceed the reference impact value in S130, when the driver is in the vehicle in S140, or when the door is open and the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle in S150, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact (S180). The processor 173 can not perform the impact-sensing video storage and the impact-sensing notification service.

[0092] Figure 3 A flowchart for a method of operating a driving video recording system according to a second embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0093] The processor 173 can change the impact-sensing sensitivity during parking (S200 and S210). When the vehicle is parked, the processor 173 can change the impact-sensing sensitivity to a predetermined impact-sensing sensitivity during parking.

[0094] The processor 173 can measure an impact value using the sensor 171 (S220). The sensor 171 can be a G sensor that measures acceleration generated by an impact and / or vibration. The sensor 171 can transmit the measured acceleration value to the processor 173.

[0095] The processor 173 can determine whether the measured impact value exceeds a reference impact value based on the changed impact sensing sensitivity (S230).

[0096] When the measured impact value exceeds the reference impact value, the processor 173 can store an impact sensing video (S240). The processor 173 can store videos taken by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 in the memory 172 within a predetermined time range based on the impact sensing time point.

[0097] The processor 173 can determine whether the driver is in the vehicle (S250). The processor 173 can identify the position of the driver using the body controller 130, and can determine whether the driver is in the vehicle based on the identified position of the driver.

[0098] When the driver is not in the vehicle, the processor 173 can determine whether the door is open and whether the driver is within a critical radius from the vehicle (S260). The processor 173 can determine whether the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle when the door is open based on information such as the position of the driver and the door state provided from the body controller 130.

[0099] When the door is open and the driver is not within the critical radius from the vehicle, the processor 173 can perform an impact sensing notification service (S270). The processor 173 can transmit an impact sensing notification to a user equipment (UE) owned by the driver using the communication device 140.

[0100] When the measured impact value does not exceed the reference impact value in S230, when the driver is in the vehicle in S250, or when the door is open and the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle in S260, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact (S280). The processor 173 can not perform the impact sensing video storage and the impact sensing notification service.

[0101] Figure 4 To illustrate a flowchart of a method for operating a drive video recording system according to a third embodiment of the present application, and Figure 5 and Figure 6 To illustrate a schematic diagram of a driver position according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0102] The processor 173 can identify that the vehicle is in a parked state (S300). The processor 173 can determine whether the vehicle is parked by communication with other ECUs in the vehicle.

[0103] The processor 173 can determine whether the driver is in the vehicle during parking (S310). The processor 173 can identify the position of the driver using the body controller 130, and can determine whether the driver is in the vehicle based on the identified position of the driver.

[0104] When the driver is not in the vehicle, the processor 173 can determine whether the vehicle door is open and whether the driver is within a critical radius from the vehicle (S320). The processor 173 can determine whether the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle when the vehicle door is open based on information such as the position of the driver and the door state provided from the body controller 130.

[0105] When the vehicle door is open and the driver is not within the critical radius from the vehicle, the processor 173 can change the impact sensing sensitivity to the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking period (S330).

[0106] When the driver is in the vehicle in S310, or when the vehicle door is open and the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle in S320, the processor 173 can change the impact sensing sensitivity to the second impact sensing sensitivity during the second parking period (S340). The second impact sensing sensitivity during the second parking period can be lower than the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking period. In other words, when the driver is inside the vehicle (as shown in Figure 5 ), or when the vehicle door is open and the driver is within the critical radius from the vehicle (as shown in Figure 6 ), the processor 173 can set the impact sensing sensitivity to be lower than the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking period.

[0107] The processor 173 can measure an impact value using the sensor 171 after S330 or S340 (S350). The sensor 171 can be a G sensor that measures acceleration generated by an impact and / or vibration.

[0108] The processor 173 can determine whether the measured impact value exceeds a reference impact value based on the changed impact sensing sensitivity (S360). When the impact sensing sensitivity is set to the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking period, the processor 173 can use a reference impact value based on the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking period as an impact sensing criterion. When the impact sensing sensitivity is set to the second impact sensing sensitivity during the second parking period, the processor 173 can use a reference impact value based on the second impact sensing sensitivity during the second parking period as an impact sensing criterion.

[0109] When the measured impact value exceeds the reference impact value, the processor 173 can store an impact sensing video (S370). The processor 173 can store videos taken by the first camera 110 and the second camera 120 in the memory 172 within a predetermined time range based on an impact sensing time point.

[0110] The processor 173 can perform the impact sensing notification service (S380). The processor 173 can transmit the impact sensing notification to a user equipment (UE) owned by the driver using the communication device 140.

[0111] When the measured impact value does not exceed the reference impact value in S360, the processor 173 can ignore the sensed impact (S390). The processor 173 can not perform the impact sensing video storage and the impact sensing notification service.

[0112] According to the above-described embodiments, when an impact is sensed during parking, the driver is in the vehicle (as shown in Figure 5 ), or when the door of the driver's seat is open while the driver is near the driver's seat (as shown in Figure 6 ). Since the driving video recording system 100 ignores the sensed impact, unnecessary impact sensing video storage and impact sensing notification service can not be performed.

[0113] Figure 7 A block diagram of a computing system for operating a driving video recording system according to embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0114] Referring to Figure 7 , the computing system 1000 can include at least one processor 1100, a memory 1300, a user interface input device 1400, a user interface output device 1500, a storage device 1600, and a network interface 1700 connected via a bus 1200.

[0115] The processor 1100 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or a semiconductor device that performs processing according to commands stored in the memory 1300 and / or the storage device 1600. The memory 1300 and the storage device 1600 can include various types of volatile or non-volatile storage media. For example, the memory 1300 can include a ROM (Read Only Memory) 1310 and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 1320.

[0116] Further, the operations of a method or algorithm related to the embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented in hardware, in software that is executed by a processor, or a combination of both, possibly with the processor executing software. The software module can reside on a storage medium 1600, such as RAM, flash memory, ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, registers, hard disk, a removable disk, and CD-ROM. The storage medium 1600 can be coupled to the processor 1100 such that the processor 1100 can read information from, and write information to, the storage medium 1600. In an alternative implementation, the storage medium 1600 can be integral to the processor 1100. The processor 1100 and the storage medium 1600 can reside in an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The ASIC can reside in a user device. In the alternative, the processor 1100 and the storage medium 1600 can reside as discrete components in a user device.

Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present application are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present application, but to explain the present application, and the scope of the technical idea of the present application is not limited to the embodiments.

[0118] According to the present application, when an impact occurs on the vehicle during parking, since the impact sensing video storage and the impact sensing notification service are performed based on the location of the driver and the door state, unnecessary impact sensing video storage and impact sensing notification due to an impact caused by movement of the driver during parking can be prevented.

[0119] In the above, although the present application has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments and drawings, the present application is not limited thereto, but various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application as claimed in the appended claims.
