Referring to
Here, the built-in cam is defined as the video recording device installed as a built-in type on a vehicle.
The drive video recording device of the present embodiment is a built-in type, but it is not limited thereto.
First, the camera module C includes a front camera and a rear camera in this embodiment, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. The front camera is installed to capture an image of the front area of the vehicle HV, and the rear camera is installed to capture an image of the rear area of the vehicle HV.
For example, the front camera may be installed at a position adjacent to the room mirror in the vehicle HV cabin of the window shield, and the rear camera may be installed on the rear window of the vehicle HV cabin or the rear bumper.
For example, the front camera and the rear camera have the image quality of either an HD, an FHD, or a Quad HD.
It is evident that the front camera and the rear camera do not need to have the same image quality, and a camera of an Advanced Drive Assistance System ADAS system of the host vehicle HV may be used.
Further, the camera has an aperture value of F2.0 or less, preferably F1.6 or less. If the aperture value decreases, more light is gathered so that recording may be made brighter. In addition, by applying image tuning technology to minimize the noise and the loss of light, clear recording is possible even in a dark environment.
The computer-readable recording medium M1 (hereinafter, called “memory”, in short) includes all types of storage devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. For example, the memory includes at least a memory type of a flash memory, of a hard disk, of a microchip, of a card (e.g., a Secure Digital (SD) card or an eXtream Digital (XD) card), etc., and at least a memory type of a Random Access Memory (RAM), of a Static RAM (SRAM), of a Read-Only Memory (ROM), of a Programmable ROM (PROM), of an Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM), of a Magnetic RAM (MRAM), of a magnetic disk, and of an optical disk.
In this embodiment, the memory M1 is an external type of 64 Gbyte or a micro SD of more, thereof. For example, a constant recording while driving may be performed for several hours, and a constant recording while parking may be performed for several tens of hours. In addition, event recording according to impact detection may be performed up to several tens of times.
The user can easily check the contents stored in the memory in a desktop computer or the like by extracting the SD card.
The state information of the SD card may be checked through a Connected Car Service CCS, and a replacement time according to a memory state may be checked.
The CCS is a service that combines vehicle software with a wireless network to activate an in-vehicle infotainment system (i.e., Audio Video Navigation Telematics (AVNT)) and a smartphone SP), thereby increasing convenience for vehicle owners. For example, the CCS may offer features like real-time navigation, voice recognition, vehicular remote control, vehicular remote diagnosis, over-the-air OTA software update, simple payment, video and audio streaming, etc.
The first communication module CM1 is for wired or wireless communication with the exterior and is not limited to communication protocol.
In the present embodiment, the first communication module CM1 includes a communication device capable of directly communicating with nearby devices, and illustratively supports Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi module of the present embodiment may include an Access Point (AP) function, and a user may easily and quickly access the built-in cam through, for example, a smartphone.
Due to Wi-Fi, the user can easily and quickly access the built-in cam through, for example, a smartphone.
The microphone MC is installed in the housing of the front camera FC as an example. When recording the driving video of the vehicle, this microphone enables both voice and video to be recorded simultaneously.
The impact sensor IS senses an external impact and may be a one-axis or a three-axis acceleration sensor.
The impact sensor IS may be installed in the housing of the front camera FC exclusively for the built-in cam BCS, but other acceleration sensors installed in the host vehicle may be used as well.
The signals of the impact sensor IS may be a starting points for a later described event recording, and the degree of impact serving as a references thereof can be set by the user.
For example, the user may select an impact detection sensitivity which is a criterion for recording an event when setting the built-in cam BCS through a display screen (e.g., a later described AVNT screen) in the vehicle.
For example, the impact sensitivity may be classified into five levels: the first level (highly unresponsive), the second level (unresponsive), the third level (normal sensitivity), the fourth level (sensitive), and the fifth level (highly sensitive).
The built-in cam system BCS receives power from a battery (e.g., a 12V battery) installed in the vehicle HV.
Although the system operates using the vehicle HV battery during both driving and parking, there may be a risk of over-discharge the vehicle HV battery. To address this issue, the present embodiment includes the power auxiliary battery BT.
In the present embodiment, the built-in cam system BCS receives power from any one of the battery of the vehicle HV, of the alternator in the case of the internal combustion engine vehicle, and of the lower DC/DC converter in the case of the electric vehicle, while receiving power from the power auxiliary battery BT during parking. However, it is not limited thereto.
The power auxiliary battery BT is charged and discharged depending on an operating environment of the vehicle HV and supplies optimal power for recording and OTA software update during parking.
The charging of the power auxiliary battery BT may be performed by a vehicle battery (a low voltage battery or a high voltage battery of an electric vehicle) or by an alternator in the case of an internal combustion engine vehicle.
The built-in cam controller BCC is an upper level controller that controls other components of the built-in cam BCS and exchanges signals with a vehicle controller VC and/or an AVNT of the host vehicle, a Body Domain Controller BDC, a Data Communication Unit DCU, an Autonomous Driving Controller ADC, a Power-Train Controller (PTC), an Electric Charging Controller (ECC), etc.
Here, the body domain controller BDC is a platform controller that enhances electronic convenience in the body domain region. For example, it manages various body control functions such as opening and closing of the gas inlet, share key entrance/start function, tire air pressure monitoring function, an immobilizer function, share key authentication function, autonomous parking related control function, etc.
Entering/starting of the share key means a function of enabling door to unlock and starting of a vehicle by a digital key or an NFC card key stored in the smart phone SP.
When the digital key is registered in the smart phone SP, not only the door can be unlocked and started by the NFC, but also functions such as remote door locking and unlocking, starting a remote door, emergency alarm, trunk opening, and the like can be implemented through low power Bluetooth communication.
Furthermore, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology may be used as the short-range, high-speed, wireless communication technology, and if the user has a smart phone SP, the user can open and close a vehicle door handle without touching the smart phone SP, and if the smart phone SP is only in the vehicle, the user can start the vehicle with a digital key.
NFC card keys are easy to carry, so they are useful in situations where one has to momentarily entrust the keys to another person such as in valet parking.
When the vehicle entrance/start is requested by the share key, the body domain controller BDC may perform the user authentication of the share key and transmit the result thereof to the related controller.
The digital key may be transmitted to smartphone of another person and stored to be shared, and the owner may visually and/or spatially set a usage limit range for vehicle sharing by the digital key or card key.
For example, the owner may set an end time for share usage of the vehicle, or may set a time zone of share usage.
Furthermore, the owner, for example, may limit a certain range (i.e., a radius of several to several tens of km) or an administrative division (i.e., City of Seoul) to a spatial usage range of the share usage from the current location of the vehicle.
Naturally, it is evident that this usage limit range can be lifted by the owner.
For example, a user interface for setting the usage limit may be provided through the AVNT screen, and the owner may set the time or space limit through the UI.
In addition, the usage limit range setting by the owner may be transmitted to the vehicle controller VC or the built-in cam controller BCC.
As the vehicle is started and driven by the share key, the AVNT may check whether the vehicle deviates from the usage limit range. Naturally, the present embodiment is not necessarily limited thereto, and whether or not the usage limit range is deviated may be determined by the vehicle controller VC or the built-in cam controller BCC by receiving the current location information of the vehicle from the AVNT.
When the deviation of the usage limit range is confirmed, the deviation information is transmitted to the CCS server.
The deviation information includes a video of the built-in cam (BCS) and may include vehicle driving information (i.e., a location, a time, etc.), a notification of deviation, a content of deviation, etc.
In this case, the AVNT may output a warning message about the deviation from the usage limit range to the display according to a predetermined command or by a request from the CCS server, from the vehicle controller VC, or from the built-in cam controller BCC.
When the body domain controller BDC has deviated from the usage limit range, the body domain controller BDC receives a request of another controller such as a AVNT controller or a built-in cam controller BCC and controls a use authentication for the vehicle.
In addition, the body domain controller BDC may control the opening and closing of the fuel inlet according to a request of another controller and control the vehicle starting by the share key. For example, the body domain controller BDC may prevent the vehicle from starting by the share key.
The communication unit DCU includes a modem and controls wireless communication with the exterior of the vehicle such as a CCS server to perform a CCS function.
An autonomous driving controller ADC controls self-driving of a vehicle. For example, the autonomous driving controller ADC has a self-driving mode and a manual mode of the driver driving, and controls switching of control between the self-driving mode and the manual mode according to selection of the driver or satisfaction of a set condition.
The power train control furnace PTC controls a power train in the vehicle. For example, the transmission function of the powertrain may be controlled according to the vehicle speed. The vehicle speed may be limited by the shift function control of the power train control PTC.
The charge controller ECC controls charging of a driving battery of the electric vehicle. For example, an on-board charger OBC is controlled to manage the charging of a vehicle battery by an external charger.
For exchanging signals, the devices mutually connect to a gateway of an in-vehicle communication network. For example, the in-vehicle communication network may include at least one of a local interconnect network LIN, a controller area network CAN, a FlexRay, or an Ethernet.
The built-in cam controller BCC controls other components to perform real-time recording during driving, real-time recording during parking, recording events to be recorded according to the impact signal of the impact sensor, etc.
In addition, driving information of the vehicle may be recorded together during recording.
The vehicle driving information may include at least one of time, vehicle speed, gear position, turn signal information, degree of impact detection (one corresponding to the above-described five levels), or global positioning system (GPS) location information.
The vehicle driving information may be received from the vehicle controller VC, but the built-in cam controller BCC may also directly receive the vehicle driving information from a corresponding module or component of the vehicle. For example, a vehicle speed may be directly received from a speed sensor of a vehicle, turn signal information (or turn signal information from a turn signal controller) may be directly received from a turn signal controller, and GPS location information may be received from a AVNT or a GPS receiver.
As described above, the event recording is performed when the event occurrence is detected during parking according to the impact detection sensitivity set by the user.
In event recording, the system records from a user-selected time before the event occurrence to a set time after the event. This duration can be adjusted by the user.
The AVNT is connected to the built-in cam controller BCC through the vehicle controller VC or directly, and the AVNT screen may function as a user interface for allowing the user to select various setting parameters of the built-in cam (BCS) system (BCS).
The built-in cam controller BCC may transmit the recorded content to an external server (i.e., a CCS server) according to a set period, a user selection, or an event (i.e., a degree of impact detection) of the user setting.
The built-in cam controller BCC may include a memory and a processor to perform the function.
For example, the processor may include a semiconductor integrated circuit and/or electronic devices that perform at least one or more of comparison, determination, calculation, or determination to achieve a programmed function. For instance, the processor may be a computer, a microprocessor, a CPU, an ASIC, a circuitry (logic circuits), either individually or in combination.
The memory may be any type of storage device that stores data that can be read by a computer system, and may include, for example, at least one of a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a micro type, a card type (e.g., a secure digital (SD) card or an eXtream digital (XD) card), etc., and at least a memory type of a Random Access Memory (RAM), of a Static RAM (SRAM), of a Read-Only Memory (ROM), of a Programmable ROM (PROM), of an Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM), of a Magnetic RAM (MRAM), of a magnetic disk, and of an optical disk.
Operating software of the BCC is stored in the memory, and the processor reads and executes the corresponding software to perform the function of the BCC.
In addition, the built-in cam controller BCC includes a buffer memory BM for determination, calculation, and the like in the processor MP.
Also, the built-in cam controller BCC includes a super capacitor SC. The super capacitor SC is charged when power is applied to the built-in cam controller BCC.
When power is suddenly cut off due to impact, damage, or the like, power charged in the super capacitor SC is used to complete video storage that is in progress.
For example, the super capacitor SC have a charging capacity capable of maintaining the power of the built-in cam controller BCC from several to tens of seconds.
Meanwhile, a smart phone SP is illustrated as a user terminal in
For example, it is possible to set a vehicle usage limited range by the share key through the CCS phone app. In addition, as later described, when the user deviates from the usage limit range as later described, the deviation information may be received and read through the CCS phone app.
Hereinafter, a control process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to
First, the digital key is shared by the owner to another person, and the usage limit range is set in S10.
It is evident that setting the usage limited range does not need to occur simultaneously with digital key sharing; it can be configured in advance.
As described above, the usage limit range may be set by the user interface output on the AVNT screen or through the CCS phone app.
S20 shows illustrating the vehicle starting and driven with the shared digital key after S10.
That is, in S20, the person who has been granted the shared digital key uses the digital key to unlock the door to get in the vehicle and starts the vehicle with the shared digital key for driving.
While traveling, it is checked whether the usage limit range has deviated in S30.
The deviation check may be performed by any one of the vehicle controller VC, the AVNT controller, or the built-in cam controller BCC, as described above.
For example, spatial deviation of the vehicle may be determined by comparing a current location of the vehicle received from the AVNT controller or the GPS receiver with a spatial setting for a usage limit range. Also, temporal deviation can be assessed by comparing current time with the time settings established for the usage limit range.
If it is determined that the user has deviated, it is checked whether an automatic warning output is set when the user leaves in S40.
If the automatic warning output is set (YES of S40), a warning message is output through the AVNT screen which is one of the display devices in the vehicle in S50.
The setting of the automatic warning output for deviation may be performed through the user interface of the AVNT screen or the CCS phone app.
Next, in a situation where it is determined that the user has left the mobile terminal, the deviation information thereof is transmitted to the CCS phone app in S60.
The deviation information may include a notification message, driving information (i.e., a vehicle location, a time, etc.), information regarding whether a vehicle has deviated from a spatial and/or temporal range, information regarding driven deviation of the relevant vehicle, and a built-in cam (BCS) video.
The BCS video includes a video stored in the BCS memory M1 and/or a real-time video of the camera module FC and RC.
The deviation information may be transmitted from any one of the built-in cam controller BCC, the vehicle controller VC, or the AVNT controller to the CCS server through the communication unit DCU.
The deviation information is transmitted to the user terminal SP and read through the CCS phone app.
In this case, the user outputs the warning in the vehicle through the CCS server using the CCS phone app (S70).
Meanwhile, the built-in cam controller (BCC), the vehicle controller (VC), or the AVNT controller checks if the usage limit range settings need to be changed based on the shared digital key.
That is, in S80, it is determined whether the driver who has deviated from the current usage limit range is set to be able to change the usage limit range through the user interface of the AVNT screen in the vehicle.
If the setting is set to as changeable (YES. S80), the usage limit range set by the owner may be changed by deletion or adjustment based on the shared digital key (S90).
To this end, for example, a message prompting whether to change the usage limit range may appear on the AVNT screen. The driver may then make adjustments through the user interface. Following this, either the built-in cam controller BCC, the vehicle controller VC, or the AVNT, may reflect the changed content upon the subsequent control.
Here, it is evident that the setting of the usage limit range may be changed based on the shared digital key through a user interface provided on the AVNT screen or the CCS server by using the CCS phone app.
Meanwhile, there may be a request for change through the CCS phone app for the usage limit range, and in this case, the change is allowed in S100.
That is, the owner proceeds a change of the set usage limit range through the CCS phone app, and the change or request is received and reflected in one of the built-in cam controller BCC, the vehicle controller (VC), or the AVNT controller through the CCS server.
Next, when it is determined in S110 that the pause of the operation of the built-in cam BCS is input or the recording is not possible due to the damage of the built-in cam BCS, the set function for the vehicle in S120 is limited.
Here, the limits of the set function, for example, include limiting the speed of the vehicle through a powertrain controller PTC.
In addition, the restriction of the function include, for example, restricting the restart of the vehicle through the body domain controller BDC.
In self-driving vehicles, some of the function limitations includes witching the driving control of the vehicle to self-driving through an autonomous driving controller ADC. In this case, the autonomous driving controller ADC directs the vehicle to safely stop on a shoulder of the road.
Further, in the case of a hybrid vehicle or an internal combustion engine vehicle, the function limitation includes maintaining the refueling port of the vehicle in a locked state through the body domain controller BDC. f
In addition, when the vehicle is an electric vehicle or a plug-in, hybrid vehicle, limiting the electric charge of the battery of the vehicle through the charge controller ECC is one of the function limits, thereof.
