Description

A suspended dual-camera intelligent vehicle assistant Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle electronic equipment technology, specifically to a suspended dual-camera intelligent vehicle assistant. Background Technology

[0002] A car dashcam, or DVR for short, supports recording with one or more cameras. Traditional car dashcams only have a single recording function, lack multi-angle screen adjustment and intelligent processing capabilities in complex environments, and have limited IoT functions, limited human-computer interaction, and lack interactivity and expandability.

[0003] Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs) are products that come with full wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto functionality. Existing devices typically use cameras to capture the direction the vehicle is traveling. The housing and base for mounting the camera are usually fixed, ensuring the camera's view and the screen's orientation are always aligned. However, the driver is typically positioned on the left or right side of the front seat, at an angle to the screen and camera axis. Traditional navigators struggle to balance the camera's orientation with the optimal human-machine interface angle.

[0004] With the development of automotive intelligence, AI and IoT technologies, in-vehicle electronic devices are becoming increasingly diversified. Users have an increasing demand for high-definition recording of driving scenarios and intelligent interaction between different devices in the vehicle. The functions that devices can integrate are also becoming more and more abundant. In particular, new energy vehicles are often equipped with AI assistants that are associated with the multimedia entertainment system of the central console.

[0005] Therefore, existing equipment has room for improvement. There is an urgent need for a highly integrated, small, and easy-to-install smart device that can integrate multiple driving navigation and high-definition recording functions and serve as an in-vehicle IoT hub. It needs to have a separate display screen so that the driver and passengers in the front row of the vehicle can easily view the screen without affecting the footage captured by the camera.
