AI Technical Summary
Current vehicle camera systems lack real-time, offline-capable, 360-degree visualization of vehicle contours and steering movements, especially for trucks and trailers, and often require online connectivity, which is costly and unreliable during power outages.
A self-contained AI-supported camera system integrating high-resolution cameras, real-time processing, and a central display for a 1:1 bird's-eye view, combined with offline operation, voice control, and a starter chip card for additional functions, including storable vehicle models and autonomous parking.
Enables precise maneuvering and parking by providing real-time, offline 360-degree visualization of vehicle movements, ensuring functionality during power outages and reducing costs by eliminating online connectivity requirements.
Abstract
Description
[0001] Utility model application - AI-supported all-round camera system for real-time visual recording of the vehicle environment and control support during driving, maneuvering and parking.
[0002] The system combines indoor and outdoor cameras, vehicle data, AI-based image recognition, and a starter chip card for enhanced security and control release.
[0003] The display is a realistic, virtual 1:1 view of the vehicle, including wheel position, steering movement, and surroundings, shown on a central display.
[0004] The control system can be integrated into the vehicle, implemented as a standalone module, or used in a combination of both. The starter chip card can activate additional control and security functions. The system can be used both online and offline, optionally with app and voice control, for cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, special-purpose vehicles, and high-security vehicles. The AI generates a realistic 360-degree field of view in real time from the video data, with distance markers in centimeters and inches, and takes into account the vehicle geometry from stored or updatable models. State of the art
[0005] Current camera systems in vehicles display the surroundings on screens, not in four fixed views (front, rear, left, right). Drivers have to mentally interpret the vehicle's contours and steering movements, especially with trucks, trailers, or in tight spaces.
[0006] Remote control, offline use, home / property monitoring, or voice control are usually not integrated. Systems primarily operate online, which incurs costs and renders them unusable during power outages. Mobile, AI-supported 360-degree monitoring that visualizes all vehicle movements in real time does not yet exist in this combination. Purpose of the invention:
[0007] The object of the invention is to provide a self-contained, AI-supported camera system that: -Offers real-time visualization of vehicle contours, axles, wheels and steering movement. -includes trailers, motorcycles and high-security vehicles. -Works offline and online, optionally with app and voice control -Starter chip card for security unlock uses -stores and updates vehicle models across manufacturers -Enables precise maneuvering, parking, and monitoring of properties and vehicles. Solution to the problem:
[0008] The invention combines existing technologies:s -High-resolution outdoor and indoor cameras for 360-degree recording -Cl processors for real-time processing and display -Display on central screen as a 1:1 bird's-eye view including steering wheel position, wheel angle, vehicle contours -Offline and online operation, optimal app and voice control -Starter chip card for unlocking additional functions -Storable vehicle models that can be added locally or via update (memory card). -Autonomous parking and maneuvering functions, even remotely. Execution functions: 1. Cars and trucks: Display of contours, wheel and steering wheel position, trailer movements. 2. Motorcycle: Additional function via starter chip card, not connected to camera system. 3. House / Property: Camera system monitors the grounds, capable of offline operation via power buffer. 4. High-security vehicles: Combination of starter chip card, keyless entry, camera system and remote control. 5. Mobile Kl: Can be used on external units, offline capable, parallel processing of multiple cameras. -1:1 visualization of steering movements makes parking and maneuvering easier. Offline operation saves costs and ensures functionality during power outages. Manufacturer-independent vehicle models increase flexibility -Starter chip card enables secure control and unlocking of additional functions -Application in cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, high-security vehicles, home and property surveillance.
