Vehicular Image Processing Apparatus Automatic Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicular black boxes are limited in data sharing capabilities, requiring users to manually store and upload images, and often only capture front and rear views, lacking the ability to efficiently share and analyze images from multiple angles for accident investigation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicular image processing apparatus equipped with a camera module, impact detector, and communication unit that detects accident events, generates and transmits recorded data, including external images and sounds, to an external server, allowing for secure sharing and analysis of driving routes and locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually store and upload images to a web server, then data can be stored, but data sharing efficiency is low and user convenience is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The black box automatically performs data sharing operations without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the process of uploading recorded images and videos to the web server, eliminating the need for users to manually connect computers and transfer files, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and time loss
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures the data sharing functionality within the black box, preparing the upload mechanism in advance. When an accident is detected, the pre-programmed automatic upload process immediately executes, eliminating the need for post-incident manual operations and reducing time loss
2Quantity of substance
If a large-capacity external memory is attached to increase data storage capacity, then storage capacity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the web server communication functionality directly into the black box unit, merging the storage and sharing functions into a single integrated device. This eliminates the need for separate external memory attachments and reduces overall system complexity while maintaining adequate storage capacity through the unified design
3Loss of information
If only front and rear images are photographed, then device complexity is reduced, but information completeness is insufficient for accident investigation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-functional camera system where a single camera module can capture images from multiple directions (front, rear, left, right) by rotating or switching between different orientations. This universal camera design provides complete accident scene information without requiring separate dedicated cameras for each direction, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and device complexity
