Vehicle Camera Playback Interface for Varying Camera Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing services for distributing video captured by in-vehicle cameras while parked do not provide a convenient user interface that adapts to the number and type of cameras installed in each vehicle, leading to user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A storage medium and terminal program that allows users to select a vehicle, list and select cameras installed on that vehicle, and playback the video from the selected camera, providing a user interface tailored to the specific camera configuration of each vehicle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed user interface is used for all vehicles, then the system structure is simple, but user convenience deteriorates when vehicles have different camera configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface dynamically adapts its structure and content based on the specific camera configuration of the selected vehicle. The system automatically generates interface elements (camera selection list, playback controls) that match the actual hardware setup, transforming a static interface into a dynamic one that responds to vehicle-specific conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface is customized locally for each vehicle's camera configuration. Instead of using a uniform interface for all vehicles, the system adjusts the available options, layout, and functionality to match the specific cameras installed in each vehicle, providing locally optimized user experience for each context.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports multiple vehicle types with different camera configurations, then adaptability improves, but interface design complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal interface framework that can handle multiple vehicle types and camera configurations through a single design. The interface automatically adapts its behavior and structure based on the selected vehicle, allowing one interface to serve multiple functions across different vehicle models without requiring separate interface designs for each configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface parameters (available options, control elements, layout) are automatically adjusted based on the camera configuration parameters of the selected vehicle. The system changes interface properties dynamically according to the vehicle's specific setup, enabling adaptability without manual reconfiguration or complex predefined interface variants.

AI summary
The program is installed in a terminal used by the user. The program causes the terminal to accept designation of a vehicle desired by the user from among a plurality of vehicles related to the user. The program causes the terminal to display a list of cameras mounted on the designated vehicle. The program causes the terminal to accept an operation of selecting a camera desired by the user from the list of cameras. The program causes the terminal to reproduce the video of the selected camera in response to the user's acceptance of the operation of selecting the desired camera.
