Vehicle Camera Prohibited-Area Setting by Facility Attribute
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image collection devices struggle with setting appropriate storage prohibited areas for vehicle-mounted cameras, as the shape and size of these areas vary by facility, leading to inefficiencies in man-hours and potential inappropriate storage or non-storage of video information.
Innovation Solution
An image collection device that uses attribute information and position range data to set prohibited areas for vehicle-mounted cameras, adjusting the area based on facility attributes and position, and allowing for separate settings for image and probe data collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the storage prohibited area is set individually for each facility, then the appropriateness of video information storage is improved, but the man-hours required for setting the prohibited area increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the prohibited area by acquiring facility position information from map data and calculating the area based on predetermined rules, eliminating the need for manual individual setting for each facility while ensuring appropriate video storage restrictions
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of prohibited area size based on facility attributes (e.g., facility type, sensitivity level), automatically adjusting the area parameters according to the specific facility characteristics without requiring manual intervention for each case
2Ease of operation
If the storage prohibited area is set uniformly, then the setting process is simplified, but the appropriateness of video information storage deteriorates as video may be stored inappropriately or not stored when unnecessary
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different prohibited area parameters to different facilities based on their attributes, creating locally optimized settings for each facility type while maintaining an automated uniform process across all facilities, thus achieving both simplicity and appropriateness
3Reliability
If the prohibited area is expanded to ensure comprehensive coverage, then the protection of private information is improved, but the loss of useful video information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system adjusts the prohibited area parameters (size, shape, offset distance) based on facility attributes and camera characteristics, optimizing the balance between privacy protection and useful video collection by changing parameters dynamically according to specific conditions

AI summary
The image collection device includes a memory configured to store attribute information indicating an attribute of a facility with respect to a prohibition level of image collection, and position range information indicating a position of the facility and a range of the facility, and a processor configured to set a prohibited area for prohibiting collection of an image generated by a camera being mounted on a vehicle and capturing surroundings of the vehicle, based on the attribute information and the position range information, prohibit collection of an image generated by the camera when the position of the vehicle is included in the prohibited area, and permit collection of an image generated by the camera when the position of the vehicle is out of the prohibited area.
