The present invention relates to a technology feature for vehicles using an overhead view camera system.
Vehicle safety as well as parking assistance have necessitated exterior vehicle cameras, like the overhead view camera system or bird's eye view camera system. Overhead view camera systems, also called bird's eye view camera systems, are currently implemented in various models of cars from various dealerships, such as Toyota, Nissan, and Volkswagen. The object of the present invention is to give consumers a more developed, more efficient, less expensive overhead view camera system to provide increased safety for vehicle owners.
Throughout the description, same and similar reference numbers may be used to identify same and similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
Throughout the present disclosure, the term ‘photoreceptor’ refers broadly to a structure that responds to light falling on it such as a camera as a subset of the broader term.
All cameras may be activated to record while inside the car and remotely. It may also be activated by the motion sensor, whenever there is movement around the car. An Event Data Recorder or EDR, sometimes referred to informally as an automotive “black box”, is an internal device that has the capabilities of recording the car speed five to ten minutes prior to being activated.
This device will have an internal memory card. The recording will be stored inside the car as well as to a remote location once the vehicle device is activated. This device can eventually store recorded data through voice over Blockchain. Initially it can record both video, voice and third party, e.g. a retained lawyer, automatically connected to the automobile's phone. It would also provide a remote safe keeping of the recording that can be sent immediately to a cell phone, social media outlet as well as a network so a lawyer on retainer can access the environment of the vehicle being pulled over as well as having a solid recording of the vehicle's speed.
The vehicle will have a specific Bar Code sticker on the rear of the car back windshield that can be scanned with a mobile phone or police scanner to identify who the owner of the car is as well as their potential medical warnings to the Police Officer. i.e. Arthritis, PTSD, Deaf, or other handicap or any other medical conditions which could cause the driver to have difficulties to keep their hands on the steering wheel or proclivity to sudden movements or stress.
The Be Safe Device will operate by direct current vehicle battery power or by solar panel and device power. This device will also have a panic key remote. The panic key remote will call first responders when activated.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The exemplary embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
