Description

Black box system for a vehicle

The present invention relates to a vehicle black box system, and more particularly, to a vehicle black box system that can store information about driving conditions and accident conditions of a vehicle such as a passenger car.

In general, a black box is representative of a flight recorder that records the performance and status of an aircraft in flight, and recently, the black box system has been used in a vehicle such as an automobile as well as the aircraft.

The black box system records information such as driving state and accident situation of the vehicle. Therefore, when a vehicle accident occurs, it is possible to make an objective judgment according to the accident based on the record stored in the black box.

1 is a block diagram of a conventional vehicle black box system.

Referring to FIG. 1, the vehicle black box system includes a sensor 4 for detecting a speed and an external impact of the vehicle, a front camera 6 capable of capturing the front of the vehicle, and a rear of the vehicle. It is provided with a rear camera 8 and a black box 1 for storing the driving information of the vehicle.

The black box 1 is a video signal processing device 2 which decodes and encodes a video signal which is controlled and input / output of a video signal by the front camera 6 and the rear camera 8, and the current time. The first memory device 10 and the current memory taken from the cameras that are compressed in the first memory device 10 to store driving conditions captured by the cameras before and after the predetermined time as a video signal. And a second memory device 12 which decompresses and stores the video signal.

The first memory device 10 repeatedly stores and removes the driving state of the vehicle at regular intervals, and stores the driving state before and after the accident by the signal of the shock sensor.

Also, a display device 14 for displaying video signals stored in the first memory device 10 and the second memory device 12 is provided.

Referring to FIG. 2, the front camera 6 is provided at an upper end of an instrument panel panel 22 displaying the speed of the vehicle, and the rear camera 8 is provided at the rear seat of the vehicle. It was equipped to be located in the simple gym compartment 28.

In the case where the indoor brake lamp 30 is provided in the simple luggage compartment 28, the indoor brake lamp 30 may be provided at an upper end of the indoor brake lamp 30.

As described above, the black box system used in the vehicle is described in detail in the patent application No. 96-465 'Vehicle Black Box System' filed in the Republic of Korea on January 11, 1996 by the same applicant of the present invention.

The conventional black box system described above has the following problems.

First, since the front camera 6 is provided at the upper end of the instrument panel panel 22, in the case of a vehicle such as a car, the angle at which the front can be photographed is narrowed due to the hood 24 in which the engine box is located. There was a limit to photographing the front of the vehicle as a whole.

Second, since the front camera 6 and the rear camera 8 are provided to be exposed to the outside, passengers who ride in the vehicle may arbitrarily manipulate the positions of the front camera 6 and the rear camera 8. In addition, the position manipulation of the cameras 6 and 8 may cause a situation in which information about the driving state and the accident situation of the vehicle cannot be accurately provided.

Third, since the camera was limited to the front camera 6 and the rear camera 8, the situation occurring indoors of the vehicle could not be taken at all.

Fourth, the sensor recognizes when there is a certain degree of strength, but there is a problem in that it cannot automatically store the driving situation because it is not recognized in the case of a minute contact accident.

Therefore, the conventional vehicle black box system cannot objectively determine the driving condition and the accident situation of the vehicle due to the defect described above.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle room mirror capable of detecting the front situation, the rear situation and the indoor situation of the vehicle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle black box system capable of capturing the front of the vehicle as a whole and also storing and storing the interior of the vehicle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle black box system that can record and store minute accidents.
