Vehicle Image Storage Filtering by Travel Data Conditions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Images captured by a camera mounted in a vehicle may not be suitable for intended use due to factors like vehicle speed or route conditions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that acquires images from a vehicle-mounted camera and stores them only when specific travel data conditions are met, such as speed and route criteria, ensuring images are captured under optimal conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If all captured images are stored regardless of travel conditions, then the quantity of images is maximized, but the quality and suitability of images for intended use deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of travel conditions (speed, route, time) before storing images. By checking whether the vehicle is traveling at appropriate speeds and on desired routes before image storage, the system ensures that only suitable images are stored, resolving the contradiction between quantity and quality.
2Productivity
If images are captured and stored without condition checking, then the process is simple and fast, but the relevance and quality of collected images deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors travel conditions (speed, position, time) and uses this feedback to determine whether captured images meet storage criteria. This feedback mechanism ensures that only relevant images are stored while maintaining efficient automated operation, resolving the contradiction between productivity and information relevance.
3Reliability
If travel data verification is performed before storing images, then image quality for intended use is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a general-purpose controller that already exists in modern vehicles to perform multiple functions including image capture coordination, travel data verification, and storage decision-making. By making the controller universal and multi-functional, the system improves image suitability without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a controller that acquires images captured by a camera mounted in a vehicle, and a memory that can store the images. The controller acquires travel data on the vehicle for when the image was captured and stores the image in the memory in a case in which the travel data satisfies a predetermined condition.
