Vehicle Danger Alert System Using Server-Side Image Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for predicting dangers during vehicle travel are not prompt or accurate enough in identifying potential hazards.
Innovation Solution
An information provision system comprising a vehicle-mounted device, a server, and a mobile terminal that captures images, sends position and vehicle condition information, and generates danger level alerts based on image processing and vehicle conditions, providing timely and reliable warnings to the driver.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image processing is used to specify dangerous scenes, then danger detection capability is improved, but prediction accuracy and promptness remain insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary analysis of captured images to identify potential dangerous scenes before the vehicle actually encounters them. By pre-processing and pre-warning about dangerous spots ahead, the system provides advance notice to the driver, improving both the promptness of warnings and the accuracy of danger prediction through server-side computational power.
2Reliability
If driver assistance systems are implemented, then safety is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the vehicle-mounted device and the driver. The server handles complex image processing and dangerous spot identification tasks, allowing the in-vehicle system to remain relatively simple while achieving high safety standards through cloud-based computational support.

AI summary
An information provision system has a vehicle-mounted device, server, and mobile terminal, which send and receive information to and from one another. The vehicle-mounted device has an imaging unit that images a vicinity of a vehicle, and a first transmitting unit that sends position information, vehicle condition information, and captured image data, to the server. The server has a dangerous spot information creating unit that creates dangerous spot information having a danger level and associated with position information, based on the vehicle condition information and captured image data, and a second transmitting unit that sends the dangerous spot information to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal has a third transmitting unit that sends position information to the server, a receiving unit that receives the dangerous point information corresponding to the position information of the mobile terminal, and an output unit that outputs a warning based on the dangerous spot information.
