Driving Event Map Interface for Searchable Driver Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing driving recording devices for vehicles do not effectively facilitate easy recognition and search for driving-related events such as lane departure, collision possibilities, sudden acceleration, and speeding, limiting the utilization of captured images and driving records for improving driver convenience and safety.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal device and server system that processes and displays driving-related event data, including location, time, and type information, allowing users to easily recognize and search for these events on a map, with features like event icons, pop-up windows, and detailed event lists, enhancing user interface interaction through touch-sensitive displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If driving recording devices capture and store all driving data, then the completeness of driving records is improved, but the ease of searching and recognizing specific driving events deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments driving records by creating distinct event categories (lane departure, collision possibility, sudden acceleration, speeding) with unique icons and color codes. Each event type is visually separated and organized in structured lists, allowing users to quickly locate specific driving events without searching through all raw data, thus maintaining information completeness while improving searchability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between the driving recording device and the user interface. This layer includes a server that receives raw driving data, processes and categorizes events, and generates structured output with visual indicators. This intermediary transforms unstructured comprehensive data into organized, easily searchable information while preserving all original details.
2Loss of information
If driving records are displayed in detailed lists with all information, then the information completeness is improved, but the ease of quick recognition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs color changes and visual indicators to represent different event types (e.g., red for collision possibility, yellow for lane departure, blue for speeding). These visual cues allow users to immediately recognize event severity and type at a glance, enabling quick scanning of detailed records without reading each entry thoroughly, thus reducing recognition time while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds visual dimensions (icons, colors, graphical markers on maps) to the one-dimensional text-based record list. By representing driving events as visual elements with spatial positioning on maps and graphical icons in lists, users can process information parallelly through multiple sensory channels, significantly accelerating recognition speed while preserving all textual details.
3Ease of operation
If event icons and visual indicators are added to improve recognition, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universal icon sets and standardized visual indicators that serve multiple functions simultaneously. Each icon not only identifies event type but also indicates severity level, temporal sequence, and spatial location. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate visual elements for each piece of information, managing complexity while enhancing recognition ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple data attributes (event type, time, location, severity) into single integrated visual elements. For example, map markers combine location coordinates with event type icons and time stamps, while list items integrate textual descriptions with colored icons and graphical indicators. This consolidation reduces the number of separate processing components needed while improving information density and recognition efficiency.

AI summary
There is provided a method for providing driver's driving information of a user terminal device, including accessing a driving information providing server storing data generated in a driving recording device for a vehicle, receiving driving record data including event record data corresponding to a driving-related event of a driver from the driving information providing server, and displaying a driving-related event occurrence location on a map using the received driving record data. The driving-related event may include at least two or more of a lane departure event, a forward collision possibility event, a rear side collision possibility event, a sudden deceleration event, a sudden acceleration event, a sudden stop event, a sudden start event, and a speeding event.
