Vehicle Camera Recording Control via Location-Based Shooting Conditions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle drive video recording apparatuses cannot dynamically adjust shooting conditions based on the vehicle's location, leading to inappropriate recording in restricted areas or areas with specific shooting regulations, as they can only operate under preset conditions when the vehicle is parked.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that utilize a position measuring device to determine the vehicle's location and a controller to set appropriate shooting conditions for the camera, allowing or disallowing recording based on user input and specific area regulations, including switching between default and area-specific or restricted area settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the camera operates under preset shooting conditions only when the vehicle is parked, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability to different locations and legal compliance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shooting conditions are made dynamic by automatically adjusting them based on the vehicle's real-time location. The controller receives location information from a position measuring device and dynamically changes shooting parameters (such as resolution, recording mode, or shooting enablement) according to the vehicle's position within predefined geographic areas, allowing the system to adapt to different legal requirements without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the vehicle's location through a position measuring device and using this information to automatically adjust shooting conditions. The controller receives feedback about the current geographic area and autonomously determines the appropriate shooting configuration, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to changing environmental and legal conditions.
2Reliability
If the camera operates under preset shooting conditions when driving, then the ease of operation is improved, but the legal compliance and recording accuracy in restricted areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining and applying the appropriate shooting conditions based on the vehicle's location without requiring user intervention. The controller autonomously processes location data, identifies the current geographic area, and configures the camera settings accordingly, ensuring legal compliance while eliminating the need for users to manually adjust settings or possess knowledge of local regulations.
3Reliability
If the shooting conditions are automatically changed based on vehicle position, then the adaptability and legal compliance are improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of detecting and measuring increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary position measuring device that acts as a mediator between the vehicle's location and the camera's shooting conditions. This intermediary component handles the complex tasks of location detection, geographic area identification, and shooting condition determination, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling sophisticated location-based adaptability and ensuring recording accuracy through automated parameter adjustment.

AI summary
An apparatus for recording a drive video of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a position measuring device configured to acquire a position of the vehicle, a camera configured to capture an image of an area around the vehicle, and a controller configured to determine a capturing requirement of the camera based on the position of the vehicle, and to determine whether to apply the capturing requirement to the camera based on a user input.
