Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rearview mirrors with communication functions are vulnerable to unauthorized use, leading to harassment of vehicle owners and increased costs due to additional mobile communication modules.
Innovation Solution
A method for detecting a target pedestrian around a vehicle using cameras to monitor and track trajectories, calculate similarities with preset trajectories, and notify the vehicle owner, allowing them to initiate communication through integrated communication modules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a communication button is exposed on the rearview mirror for unauthorized use, then communication function is available, but harassment of vehicle owner occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the pedestrian's identity and trajectory before enabling communication. The control unit determines whether the detected pedestrian is the vehicle owner based on trajectory analysis, and only then activates the communication function. This preliminary verification prevents unauthorized access while maintaining communication availability for legitimate users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a mobile communication module is additionally mounted for communication function, then communication capability is provided, but vehicle cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rearview mirror integrates multiple functions including communication, pedestrian detection, trajectory analysis, and owner verification within a single device. By making the rearview mirror multi-functional, the patent avoids the need for separate additional communication modules, thereby providing communication capability without increasing vehicle cost.
3Ease of operation
If communication initiative is given to any pedestrian, then communication is easily initiated, but vehicle owner loses control
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback control by continuously monitoring pedestrian trajectories and comparing them against expected patterns. The control unit receives trajectory data, determines whether the pedestrian is the vehicle owner based on this feedback, and dynamically controls the communication function accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures the vehicle owner maintains control over communication initiation.

AI summary
A method for detecting a target pedestrian around a vehicle, a method for moving a vehicle, and a device are applied to an automobile electronic product. The method includes the following steps: monitoring a monitor area of a current vehicle in real time and acquiring a target trajectory; judging whether there is the target pedestrian in the monitor area according to the target trajectory, where if a judged result is true, there being the target pedestrian in the monitor area; and otherwise, performing no processing. According to the present application, the method for detecting a target pedestrian around a vehicle includes the following steps: judging whether there is a target vehicle owner around the vehicle; informing the vehicle owner; and then selecting, by the vehicle owner, whether a vehicle communication module is connected for communication. A first level communication initiative is mastered on an electronic rearview mirror, so that the problem that the vehicle owner is harassed is avoided.
