COMBINED RADAR AND LASER DETECTOR HAVING GPS RECEIVER AND
USING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION s
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a combined radar and laser detector that enables a driver to drive safely and, more particularly, to a combined radar and laser detector, which has a global positioning system receiver capable of detecting global positioning system data related to the location and speed of a moving vehicle and uses wireless communication, so that the combined radar and laser detector can not only provide accurate traffic information to a driver, but also allow the installation thereof to be easy, the miniaturization thereof to be achieved, and the power consumption thereof to be minimized.
2. Description of the Related Art
Various traffic safety devices for the safe driving of vehicles have been developed and used. In particular, the use of a combined radar and laser detector is generalized in U.S. and Europe to enable a driver to drive safely using traffic information, such as low speed zones, school zones and road maintenance/construction zones, provided to the driver through ' microwaves and a laser.
FIG. l is a diagram schematically showing the construction of a conventional combined radar and laser detector, and the conventional combined radar and laser detector includes a horn antenna lO, a signal processing unit for detecting a signal received through the horn antenna lO, a laser module 30 for receiving a laser signal, a central processor unit 40 for controlling the detection of the signals received through the signal processing unit 20 and the laser module 30, a visual display means 50 for visually displaying the detected signals, and an audible indication means 60 for audibly outputting the detected signals through an audio amplification unit 61.
The conventional combined radar and laser detector l constructed as described above is generally mounted on a dashboard using a fastening means, as shown in FIG. 2.
However, in the case of mounting the combined radar and laser detector l in a vehicle, a problem arises in that various kinds of signals enabling the driver to drive safely cannot be easily received.
That is, a combined radar and laser detector generally uses a high frequency of lO to 40 GHz, but the high frequency has directionality, so that the horn antenna needs to be located on the front of the vehicle.
However, in the case of mounting the horn antenna on the front of the vehicle, work is required to connect the horn antenna, placed outside the vehicle, with a visual display means and an audible indication means, placed inside the vehicle and adapted to provide traffic information to the driver through a wire, so that a problem arise in that it is difficult to install the combined radar and laser detector.
Additionally, the conventional combined radar and laser detector is constructed in such a way that the horn antenna and other components are integrated into a single body, so that the size of the combined radar and laser detector is large, and thus problems arise in that it is difficult to ensure a space for installation and excessive power consumption is incurred.
Furthermore, the conventional combined radar and laser detector is disadvantageous in that it cannot provide various kinds of information to the driver. To solve the above problems, there have been attempts to combine a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which detects GPS data related to the location and speed of a moving vehicle, with the combined radar and laser detector to provide accurate and various kinds of traffic information to a driver. However, a problem still arises in that faulty operations occur due to frequency interference when the combined radar and laser detector is constructed to include the GPS receiver, so that it is difficult to guarantee the reliability of the operation of the combined radar and laser detector.

Meanwhile, the information display module 200 includes an information receiving unit 210 for receiving the information data wirelessly transmitted from the information transmission unit 150 of the signal receiving module 100, a GPS engine 260 for detecting GPS data transmitted from a satellite, a memory unit 250 for storing coordinates data used to indicate the s location of the moving vehicle, an audible indication unit 270 for audibly outputting the data received through the information receiving unit 210 or detected through the GPS engine 260, a visual display unit 280 for visually displaying the data received through the information receiving unit 210 or detected through the GPS engine 260, and a central processor unit 230 for controlling the operations of the visual display unit 280 and the audible indication unit 270 according to the data received through the information receiving unit 210 or detected through the GPS engine 260.
The information display module 200 further includes a serial communication unit 220 for communicating with a user's computer, and a switching unit 240 for temporarily restricting the operation of the GPS engine 260 according to the control of the central processor unit 230 to prevent a collision that can be incurred at the time of downloading data through the serial communication unit 220.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the detailed construction of the combined radar and laser detector. The signal processing unit 110 of the signal receiving module 100 includes a first local oscillator 112 for producing oscillations of 10 GHz, a sweep voltage generator 111 for operating the first local oscillator 112, a first mixer 113 for mixing the frequency of the oscillations generated from the first local oscillator 112 with a frequency of 10 to 40 GHz received through the horn antenna, and outputting a frequency of 1 to 2 GHz that is a difference signal, and a first amplifier 114 for amplifying the difference signal that is the output signal of the first mixer 113.
The signal processing unit 110 of the signal receiving module 100 further includes second and third local oscillators and 116 for alternately producing oscillations of different frequencies, a second mixer 117 for mixing the oscillation signal of the second and third local oscillators and 116 with the output signal of the first amplifier 114, IS and outputting a frequency of 10.7 MHz that is a difference signal, a second amplifier 118 for amplifying the difference signal that is the output signal of the second mixer 117, a filter 119 for selectively passing the output signal of the second amplifier 118 therethrough, a demodulator 120 for detecting the signal passed through the filter 119, and an Analog to Digital (AD) converter 121 for converting the detected signal into a digital signal.
Additionally, the central processor unit 140 controls the operations of the first to third local oscillators 112, 115, and 116 to receive various kinds of signals through the horn antenna, analyzes the signals detected through the signal processing unit 110 and the laser receiving unit 130, abstracts information data from the detected signals, and wirelessly transmits the information data to the information s display module 200 through the information transmission unit using a frequency of 390 MHz. The signal receiving module is located outside and on front of a vehicle and is constructed to be operated by the battery of the vehicle.
Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4, the information display module 200 includes the information receiving unit 210 for receiving the information data wirelessly transmitted from the information transmission unit 150 of the signal receiving module 100, the GPS engine 260 for detecting GPS data included in a signal of 1575.42 MHz transmitted from the satellite, and l5 the memory unit 250 for storing the coordinates data used to indicate the location of the moving vehicle.
Furthermore, the central processor unit 230 controls the operations of the visual display unit 280 and the audible indication unit 270 according to data received through the information receiving unit 210 or detected through the GPS engine 260, and thus provides the traffic information to a driver.
The visual display unit 280 is constructed in a dynamic fashion in the embodiment of the present invention. That is, the visual display unit 280 is constructed in such a way that 1 1 switching devices Q3 to Q7 to be switched according to the control signal of the central processor unit 230 are switched every 5 ms, so that the traffic information is represented by the flickering of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or the operation of seven-segment displays. However, the present invention is not limited to this construction.
The information display module 200 further includes the serial communication unit 220 for communicating with the user's computer and downloading data therefrom. To prevent a collision incurred at the time of downloading data through the serial communication unit 220, the central processor unit 230 controls the switching unit 240 to cut off the power and data lines of the GPS engine 260. Accordingly, the operation of the GPS engine 260 is temporarily restricted. In this case, to l5 prevent the data stored in the internal memory of the GPS engine 260 from being lost, back-up power is supplied by a back-up battery 291.
The information display module 200 is composed of components whose power consumption is considerably smaller than that of the signal receiving module 100, so that the information display module 200 can be operated by a portable battery or a solar cell battery, so the size of a battery can be minimized, and thus the restriction of the mounting space can be solved.
Reference numeral 290 designates a power unit to supply power used for operating the information display module 200.
The power unit 290 converts an applied input voltage of 8 to 30 V into voltages of 12 V, 5 V and 3.3 V, and outputs the converted voltages.
S A method of operating the combined radar and laser detector according to the present invention is described in detail below.
When a frequency signal of 10 to 40 GHz including various kinds of traffic information is received from the horn antenna, the first local oscillator 112 of the signal processing unit 110 produces oscillations of 10 GHz according to the control of the central processor unit 140. The frequency of the oscillations generated from the first local oscillator 112 is mixed with a frequency of 10 to 40 GHz IS received through the horn antenna by the first mixer 113, a frequency of 1 to 2 GHz that is a difference signal is output, and the difference signal is amplified by the first amplifier 114.
Additionally, the difference signal amplified by the first amplifier 114 is mixed with one of the oscillation signals generated from the second and third local oscillators and 116, which alternately produce oscillations of different frequencies, by the second mixer 117. A frequency of 10.7 MHz that is the difference signal output from the second mixer 117 is amplified by the second amplifier 118, filtered by the filter 119, detected by the demodulator 120 while passing therethrough, converted into a digital signal by the AD converter 121, and input to the central processor unit 140.
Meanwhile, the central processor unit 140 controls the operations of the first to third local oscillators 112, 115, and 116 to receive the various kinds of signals through the horn antenna, analyzes the signals detected through the signal processing unit 110 and the general laser receiving unit 130, extracts information data from the detected signals, and wirelessly transmits the information data to the information display module 200 through the information transmission unit using a frequency of 390 MHz.
The information data wirelessly transmitted is received by the information receiving unit 210 of the information display module 200 placed inside a vehicle, and applied to the central processor unit 230. Furthermore, the GPS engine 260 detects GPS data, which is related to the location and speed of a moving vehicle and included in a frequency of 1575.42 MHz, and applies the GPS data to the central processor unit 230.
According to the data received through the information receiving unit 210 or the GPS data detected through the GPS engine 260, the central processor unit 230 drives the visual display unit 280 to visually display the received traffic information, or drives the audible indication unit 270 to audibly inform the driver of the received traffic information.
That is, the central processor unit 230 switches the switching devices Q3 to Q7 to display the traffic information by flickering LEDs or using seven-segment displays, and operates an audio Integrated Circuit (IC) constituting a part of the audible indication unit 270 to audibly inform the driver of the traffic information.
Additionally, data can be downloaded from the user's computer through the serial communication unit 220. In this case, the central processor unit 230 outputs a control signal to switch the switching unit 240 so as to cut off the power and data lines of the GPS engine 260. Accordingly, the operation of the GPS engine 260 is temporarily stopped, so l5 that a collision incurred at the time of downloading the data can be prevented.
When the power line of the GPS engine 260 is cut off, data stored in the internal memory of the GPS engine 260 may be lost. To prevent the data from being lost, the back-up battery 291 supplies back-up power to the GPS engine 260. As a result, time to prepare the re-operation of the GPS engine 260 can be reduced, so that an operation speed can be increased.
The combined radar and laser detector of the present invention is constructed in such a way that a signal receiving module for receiving various kinds of signals that enable a driver to drive safely and an information display module for informing the driver of the signals are separated from each other, the signal receiving module and the information display module are constructed to communicate with each other using wireless communication, and the information display module is integrated with the GPS receiver detecting GPS data related to the location and speed of a moving vehicle, so that the combined radar and laser detector can not only provide accurate traffic information to the driver but also allow the installation thereof to be easy, the miniaturization thereof to be achieved, and the power consumption thereof to be minimized.
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
