Smart black box system for vehicle {BLACK BOX FOR CAR}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a smart black box system for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a vehicle black box system for securing an accurate image with respect to an external impact and transmitting such data to the outside.

As the economy develops and the standard of living improves, passenger cars become popular and the demand for vehicles is explosively increasing accordingly.

In this case, the road expansion rate is low compared to the number of vehicles that are exacerbated in quantitative terms, and the level of road digestion is approaching the limit. Accordingly, various traffic problems are caused by the inexperienced or careless driver Traffic accidents are frequent.

In the case of traffic accidents, the amount of damage is usually divided according to the degree of mutual negligence according to the judgment of the police authorities and the insurance company when an agreement is made between the parties, or when it is reported, but the judgment of the degree of the fault is often ambiguous, The amount of money is often imposed on one side, and a lot of time and efforts are wasted in order to clarify the cause of the accident.

In particular, the insurance company incurs considerable differences in insurance claims paid to the driver in accordance with the judgment and mutual responsibility of the perpetrator and the victim. Therefore, the insurance company may incur considerable expense of human and material expenses .

However, even if the judgment of the perpetrator and the victim were made and the mutual responsibility of the victim was determined by consulting with experts and professional organizations, it was proved difficult for the victim to understand the victim. Therefore, the necessity of accident handling based on objective data is urgently needed It is true.

In addition, there are few cases in which arbitrary manipulation of the accident situation is carried out in the situation of judging the judgment and mutual responsibility of the perpetrator and the victim without objective data, and there are few cases where a good victim is generated.

Therefore, as described above, it is difficult to clarify the situation judgment accompanying the conventional traffic accident, so that it is difficult to provide an objective accident situation.

In order to solve such a problem, recently, a black box system for a vehicle is attached to a vehicle.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a black box system for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a black box system for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a vehicle equipped with a vehicle black box system. FIG.

The vehicle black box system 10 of this embodiment includes a body portion 11; A front camera 12 coupled to the body 11; A memory unit 13 built in the body 11 for storing image information of the front camera 12; A shock sensor 14 built in the body 11 for sensing an external impact; A humidity sensor 15 coupled to the outside of the vehicle 100 for sensing humidity; And a controller 16 built in the body 11 to adjust the zoom of the front camera 12 using the information of the humidity sensor 15.

The body portion 11 constitutes an overall appearance of the vehicle black box system 10 as a case.

A front camera 12 is coupled to the outside of the body part 11. [ The front camera 12 is installed to face the front of the vehicle, and records the front situation. The front camera 12 has a zoom (ZOOM) function.

The memory unit 13 stores image information of the front camera 12. The memory unit 13 may include a folder for storing image information at the time of an impact, a folder for storing normal image information, and the like. All the image information in the memory unit 13 can be erased.

Inside the body portion 11, a shock detection sensor 14 is incorporated. The impact sensor 14 senses acceleration of three axes of X, Y, and Z, detects an external impact, and transmits the shock to the controller 16. The control unit 16 can determine whether the vehicle collides with an external vehicle based on a signal from the impact detection sensor 14. [

A humidity sensor 15 for sensing humidity is coupled to the outside of the vehicle 100. If it is raining or foggy, the external relative humidity is more than 90%. When the humidity sensor 15 senses a humidity of 90% or more, it is difficult to identify the object due to fog or rain. In this weather environment, when the front camera 12 photographs an image with a normal zoom, it is not easy to identify the vehicle number. Therefore, in such a weather condition, the control unit 16 pulls the zoom of the front camera 12 to facilitate identification of the vehicle. In this case, the field of view of the front camera 12 is narrowed, but the accuracy is high.

On the other hand, the weather information may be obtained from the weather server 20 on the outside. A GPS 17 and a communication unit 18 capable of wireless communication with the weather server 20 may be further incorporated in the body 11. [ When the position information of the GPS 17 is transmitted to the weather server 20, the weather of the corresponding position can be obtained through the communication unit 18. [ Based on such weather information, the control unit 16 adjusts the zoom of the front camera 12.

Further, the communication unit 18 stores the image information of the memory unit 13 in the external server 30 by wireless communication. The memory unit 13 may not be able to store any more information due to abnormal data storage or other errors. Or, existing video information may be erased due to an accident or the like. By storing the video information in the external server 30 through the communication unit 18, the video information can be permanently preserved.

A rotation module 191 may be coupled to the body part 11. [ The auxiliary camera 192 is coupled to the rotation module 191, and is rotatable 360 degrees. When the impact sensor 14 senses the impact direction, the auxiliary camera 192 rotates in the impact direction to acquire the image information of the emergency state. The front camera 12 always photographs the front image information while the auxiliary camera 192 photographs the impact direction while rotating the 360 degrees. The rotation module 191 may be configured as a combination of a motor and a gear.

On the other hand, the control unit 16 can obtain the road breakage position information from the information of the shock detection sensor 14. [ In general, the speed-up jerk increases rapidly in the + direction of the vertical direction, whereas in the case where the road is hollow, a signal of a sudden + direction is generated after the weak-direction signal is generated. The control unit 16 stores the road breakage position information from the signal of the shock detection sensor 14 in the memory unit 13 and thereafter detects that there is road breakage when the vehicle 100 moves in the same position, . The driver of the vehicle can operate while avoiding the road breakage position.

Further, in the vehicle black box system 10 of the present embodiment,

A carbon dioxide sensing sensor 102 coupled to the body portion 11;

An alcohol detection sensor 105 coupled to the body portion 11;

A weight detection sensor 103 coupled to a driver's seat of the vehicle;

An ultrasonic sensor 104 coupled to a ceiling of a driver's seat of the automobile;

A pulse detecting sensor 101 coupled to the driver's seat of the automobile;

A window driving module 109 capable of opening and closing the window of the automobile;

A perfume module 106 coupled to the body portion 11;

A tear gas driving module 111 coupled to the body portion 11;

A bug killer module 107 coupled to the window of the vehicle;

And a radio module (110) coupled to the vehicle.

When the carbon dioxide sensor 102 detects carbon dioxide more than a reference value, the controller 16 operates the window driving module 109 to automatically open the window.

If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle is high, drowsiness comes easily. Drowsiness driving leads to death. Accordingly, the window of the driver's seat can be forcibly opened so as to introduce fresh air into the vehicle. The window of the car can be opened and closed by pushing and pulling the button by the driver's will. The control portion 16 controls the switch portion so that the window can be opened and closed by controlling the window driving module 109 when a concentration of carbon dioxide equal to or greater than a reference value is detected even though the driver does not intend to do so.

Here, the "reference value" of the concentration of carbon dioxide may be set by the manufacturer at an initial stage, or may be reset by the driver.

When the alcohol is detected by the alcohol sensor 105, the control unit 16 accesses the surrogate operation server (not shown) through the communication unit 18 and transmits the location information of the car and the telephone information of the driver , Call the agent.

It is customary to drink and catch the steering wheel, which leads to a major accident. Once the alcohol detection sensor 105 detects alcohol, the control unit 16 prevents the vehicle from being started. The control unit 16 is connected to the starting module of the vehicle by wire or wirelessly. When alcohol is detected by the alcohol detection sensor 105, the intention of the driver intending to drunk driving is high. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the driver from starting the vehicle. On the other hand, when the driver sits in the back seat of the vehicle, the alcohol detection sensor 105 is highly likely to detect alcohol concentration below the reference concentration. In this case, the control unit 16 can control the vehicle to start the vehicle. The alcohol detection sensor 105 may utilize a sensor used in a breathalyzer.

When the owner of the vehicle carries out the drunk driving, the communication unit 18 automatically transmits the location information of the car and the telephone information of the car owner to the external substitute driving server, and calls the proxy driver. This will automatically bring the surrogate to the vehicle, and the surrogate driver can have the owner of the vehicle home.

Meanwhile, a voice recognition module (not shown) may be further coupled to the body part 11. [ If the owner of the vehicle has drunk driving, the vehicle will not start. At this time, if a person other than the vehicle owner (e.g., a surrogate article) recognizes the voice to the voice recognition module, the voice recognition module may recognize that the vehicle is not the owner and cause the vehicle to start.

,

The control unit 16 obtains weight information from the weight detection sensor 103, obtains key information from the ultrasonic sensor 104, identifies the driver, and selects the selected frequency at the frequency set by the driver Controls the radio module 110, and controls the perfume module 106 so that the perfume set by the driver is directed.

When various family members use a single vehicle, they must select and change their preferred radio channel each time. This tends to deteriorate the driver's attention. Therefore, it is preferable that the driver of the vehicle is automatically identified, and the radio channel preferred by the driver is automatically selected. In this embodiment, the weight detection sensor 103 is installed in the driver's seat to recognize the weight information of the driver. Further, the ultrasonic sensor 104 is attached to the ceiling of the driver's seat to recognize the driver's key information. Based on this, it accurately identifies the driver. For example, if weighing 70 kg and the distance from the ceiling to the top of the head is about 10 cm, we can identify it as a father (Kim **). Once the driver is identified, the radio module 110 operates so that the operator tunes to the preset radio frequency.

In addition, a perfume module 106 is coupled to the body part 11. The perfume module 106 is a device that can forcibly spray perfume, and can easily be taken into consideration by a perfume module installed in a public place such as a toilet. In the perfume module 106 of the present embodiment, various kinds of perfumes are stored in a liquid state in the storage portion. Every driver has a favorite scent. If you take this scent immediately after sitting on the driver's seat, you will be able to drive with a fresher mood. Accordingly, when the driver is identified by the weight information and the key information, the perfume module 106 is directed to the perfume selected by the driver.

The controller 16 transmits the position information of the automobile to the emergency center server through the communication unit 18 when the heartbeat detection sensor 101 obtains sudden cardiac paralysis information.

The pulse detection sensor 101 is coupled to the driver's seat. If a driver suddenly causes a heart attack, it not only leads to a serious accident, but also the life of the driver is dangerous. When the heart rate information is transmitted from the pulse sensor 101 to the control unit 16 during the operation of the automobile, the control unit 16 transmits the position information of the automobile to the external emergency server (for example, 119 or the emergency room of the hospital) .

When the window driving module 109 is driven to open the window, the controller 16 causes a current to flow through the bug killer module 107. The bug killer module 107 may be configured as a current supply device that is installed in a window of an automobile and supplies current to the metal wire and the metal wire. When a mosquito or a fly comes into contact with a metal wire through which electric current flows, it is sparked and dies.

While the female driver is driving, when the worm comes into the driver's magnet, he instinctively manipulates the handle in an unwanted direction. Accidents caused by this frequently occur. Therefore, a safety device is required to prevent the worm from flying in even if the window is opened. In this embodiment, when the window driving module 109 operates to open the window, the control unit 16 operates the bug killer module 107 coupled to the window to remove the worm.

The control unit 16 drives the tear gas driving module 111 to spray tear gas in the direction of the driver when the auxiliary camera 192 senses the sleeping operation of the driver.

The auxiliary camera 192 normally photographs the driver's face. Continuously photographs the pupil of the driver's face and measures the time that the lid covers the pupil. If you do not drive drowsy, the eyelids will be in place immediately after covering your eyes. However, when sleepy, the blink rate is slowed down. The speed of the blinking of the pupil is photographed by the auxiliary camera 192, and based on the blinking speed, the controller 16 determines whether or not it is in the drowsy operation. When it is identified as a drowsy operation, the control unit operates the tear gas driving module 111 to inject tear gas into the driver. The tear gas driving module 111 may have a similar structure to the perfume module 106 mentioned above. Instead, the tear gas driving module 111 stores the tear gas liquid instead of perfume. Drowsy driving leads to a large company logo, which inevitably causes tear gas to be sprayed on the driver to prevent the worst.

Modifications and additions by those skilled in the art to an equivalent range based on the embodiments will also fall within the scope of the present invention.
