The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The present invention relates generally to the field of television, communications: electrical of existing art and more specifically relates to television, communications: electrical including vehicular, having plural distinct sensors (i.e., for surrounding conditions), intrusion detection, including personal portable device.
Safety is paramount for a vehicle owner and any occupants when entering and exiting a vehicle, or when traveling late at night and in a remote and isolated area. In conditions where visibility is difficult or poor, the vehicle owner may not always be able to fully view their surroundings when approaching the vehicle. Additionally, many vehicle owners are concerned that their vehicles will be broken in, vandalized or stolen while parked in a driveway, street curbside, or in a parking lot or public garage. Vehicles are equipped with conventional locks but these devices are not completely infallible. The ability to warn a vehicle owner of their immediate surroundings or existence of any danger via an electronic device is desired.
U.S. Pat. No. 9,701,265 to David S. Breed relates to smartphone-based vehicle control methods. The described method for controlling a vehicle includes a smartphone-engaging coupling element. Data about operational status of the vehicle is transferred from one or more vehicle-resident systems to a smartphone when the smartphone is engaged with the coupling element. Commands are received by the vehicle from the smartphone when the smartphone is engaged with the coupling element, which commands being based in part on data previously transferred from the vehicle-resident system(s) to the smartphone when the smartphone is engaged with the coupling element. A vehicular system, e.g., seat positioning system, mirror positioning system, passenger compartment temperature control system, route guidance or navigation system, changes its operation in accordance with the commands received by the vehicle from the smartphone when the smartphone is engaged with the coupling element.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known television, communications: electrical including vehicular, having plural distinct sensors (i.e., for surrounding conditions), intrusion detection, including personal portable device art, the present disclosure provides a novel vehicular viewer system. The general purpose of the present disclosure, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a vehicular viewer system whereby users can be content in knowing they can view their vehicle from a remote positioning.
A vehicular viewer system is disclosed herein. The vehicular viewer system includes an application software in communication with a server via a communication network; an electronic device; at least one mountable camera; a sensor mechanism; and a vehicle. The vehicle viewer system comprises an application software in communication with a server via communication network through an electronic device enabling a vehicle owner to remotely activate at least one mountable camera and sensor mechanism in a vehicle providing a safe and secure area in and around a vehicle by which can be remotely viewed. Suitable electronic and mechanical means are provided for rotating and otherwise positioning the cameras via remote control via the software on the electronic device and depending on the user manipulation.
According to another embodiment, a vehicular viewer system is also disclosed herein comprising the steps of: providing a vehicular viewer system; capturing information of vehicle surroundings; uploading and transmitting information of the vehicle surroundings to an electronic device; displaying information of the vehicle surroundings via an electronic device; notifying a vehicle owner remotely via an electronic device; and a vehicle owner analyzing information of the vehicle surroundings for a safe and secure area in and around the vehicle.
For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and methods of use for the present disclosure, a vehicular viewer system, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to television, communications: electrical including vehicular, having plural distinct sensors (i.e., for surrounding conditions), intrusion detection, including personal portable device and more particularly to a vehicular viewer system as used to improve and provide a safe and secure area in and around a vehicle by which can be remotely viewed by a vehicle owner.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in
The vehicular viewer system 110 comprises an application software in communication with a server via a communication network 110 through an electronic device 112 and enables a vehicle owner to remotely activate at least one mountable camera 114 and a sensor mechanism 116 in a vehicle 118 wherein a safe and secure area in and around a vehicle 118 can be remotely viewed via manipulation of the at least one mountable camera 114. The application software in communication with a server via a communication network 110 provides data exchange between a vehicle owner and an electronic device 112. Additionally, an application software in communication with a server via a network 110 uses object recognition to analyze an image and store the image within an electronic device 112. As illustrated, an application software in communication with a server via a network 110 uses object recognition to analyze an image and transmit and display remotely on an electronic device 112. The electronic device 112 of the vehicular viewer system 100 is selected from the group of a smartphone, tablet, mobile phone, PC, and a mobile electronic messaging device and includes a sensor mechanism 116 and configured to capture and generate an image and store to an electronic device 112. Alternatively, the electronic device 112 is selected from the group of a smartphone, tablet, mobile phone, PC, and a mobile electronic messaging device and configured to capture and generate a video recording and store to an electronic device 112. The present invention may do create forms of media.
Referring now to
According to one embodiment, the vehicular viewer system 100 may be arranged as a kit. In particular, the vehicular viewer system 100 may further include a set of instructions. The instructions may detail functional relationships in relation to the structure of the vehicular viewer system 100 such that the vehicular viewer system 100 can be used, maintained, or the like, in a preferred manner.
Referring now to
The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
