Location-Based Image Upload Control for Moving Bodies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The communication cost increases when all images captured by a camera mounted on a moving body are uploaded to a management system without consideration of the upload target area, leading to unnecessary data transmission.
Innovation Solution
A moving body system that includes processing circuitry to compare the current position of the moving body with a specified upload target area and prohibit image uploads outside this area, reducing data transmission by only uploading images within the target area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all images captured by the camera are uploaded to the management system, then the management system can obtain complete monitoring data, but the communication cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating upload behavior based on location: images captured within the upload target area are uploaded to the management system, while images captured outside this area are not uploaded. This spatial differentiation allows the system to maintain monitoring reliability for important areas while reducing communication costs for areas where monitoring is less critical.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the monitoring area into an upload target area and a non-upload area. By dividing the spatial domain and applying different upload policies to different segments, the system achieves a balance between data completeness and communication efficiency, avoiding the need to upload all images universally.
2Loss of energy
If images are uploaded only within the upload target area, then the communication cost is reduced, but the monitoring coverage may be limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different quality levels of monitoring to different spatial locations. The upload target area receives high-priority monitoring with image uploads, while areas outside this region receive lower-priority monitoring. This allows the system to optimize communication costs while maintaining adequate monitoring coverage across the entire operational area.
Data Source
AI summary
A moving body system is mounted on a moving body. The moving body system includes processing circuitry and one or more memory devices configured to store upload specification information indicating at least an upload target area specified in advance. The moving body system acquires information on a current position of the moving body and an image captured by a camera mounted on the moving body. The moving body system communicates with a management system which is external to the moving body and which uses the image. The moving body system compares the current position of the moving body with the upload target area. The moving body system prohibits uploading the image to the management system when the current position of the moving body is outside of the upload target area.
