Abstract

Cameras 1 are mounted on the front, rear and sides of a vehicle 2 so as to provide image signals via wire or wireless transmission to a display monitor 3 (see figs. 1 and 2). The side mounted cameras provide a rear-side view of the drivers side blind-spots (see fig.4) and the front and rear mounted cameras provide views of the respective front and rear blind spots. The cameras may be used at night. The monitor 3 may be removed from the car and used to remotely view the images provided by the car-mounted cameras and thereby act as a car theft or burglary monitor. A recording device is also provided.

A NEWLY-DEVISED PATENT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND OF THE RION
The invention is related with a car side-sight assistance & burglar-free device. It chiefly.transmits aerial or cable (with wire or wireless) vision back to the monitor inside car via built-in microcamera device on the sides of car. The virtue of the invention is to conquer blind-points on the sides of car and to form the assistance of monitor in order to widen driver's vision.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Owing to soaring progress of economy and largely increased quantity of cars, road safety grows more and more meaningful. It is therefore significant to improve traffic safety, not only through improvements of driver's obedience of traffic morality and traffic rules but through improvements of car equipment.
As people may have commonly perceived, when we drive cars, we merely could eye-view the front part and 125 degrees to the left and right outside vision of surroundings inside car. Concerning vision outside car, we must rely on the assistance of rear mirrors; however, according to common driving experiences, there are still many blind-points existed even with the assistance of rear mirrors as angle A shown in FIG. 4. Owing to the constraint of car vision, angle A shown in FIG. 4 is the most common place where car accidents take place.
Hence, the inventor with various practical experiences in car industry invents a device called "Car Side-Sight Assistance & Burglar-Free Device" in order to complement the limited car vision and the limited outside vision of rear mirrors. By adoption of the invention, car driving can be safer. Description of diagrams are as below showing the invention set-up, features, and practical paradigm in order to lead the committee with flirther understanding of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF DIAGRAMS
FIG. 1 illustrates the set-up of the invention FIG. 2 illustrates the joint of the invention and monitor FIG. 3 illustrates the built-in monitor of the invention in another state FIG. 4 illustrates blind-points of commonly used cars - DESCRIPTION OF PARTS (I): Camera Device (2): Car 5 (3): Monitor DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODUVIENTS
Please refer to FIG. 1 shown, which adheres to FIG. 2, and the invention is related to a type of car side-sight assistance & burglar-free device, chiefly based on micro- camem device (1) (also called as ventilation camera system). The breadth of lens is about 0. 1 mm-0.3mm in polygon style with merely 2 candlelight supply of power. With the built-in cameras on the sides of car, the car lights can take photos even at nights in order to transmit either aerial or cable (with wire or wireless) vision back to the monitor (3) inside car (2). With the support of the built-in micro cameras, it helps lessen blind spots of car as to improve driving safety. According to the quantity of camera device (1), the monitor (3) with joint to the invention can divide into 2 or 3 visions on behalf of driver.
Besides, the invention can be used as a burglar-free or destruction-free monitor while a car being parked. The lens of camera device (1) can lean to Inhabitance/residence in order to be used as a family burglar-free monitor.
Moreover, built-in camera device (3) can also be disassembled as to be used of detecting the burglarfree condition from inhabitance/residence. It is more effective and much cheaper to adopt the built-in micro-camems, which includes monitor and recording device, compared with most other burglar-free devices.
In general, the invention attains the actual practical functions, which has never previously seen on any publications or other similar patent products in public, therefore be submitted legally to claim the patent.

Claims (2)

1. A type of car side-sight assistance & burglar-free device, chiefly based on: With built-in micro-camera device on the sides of car, in order to conquer blind-spots on the sides of car and to form the assistance of monitor as its features.
2. In accordance to Claim # 1, the camera device among described car sidesight assistance & burglar-free device transmits aerial or cable (YAth wire or wireless) vision back to the monitor inside car and provides recording device.
