In this case, the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second should be displayed on the images photographed by the cameras 20, 30, 40, and 50.

본체(10)에는 자동차의 상부에 설치될 수 있도록 브라켓(12)이 형성되어 있다. 본 실시예에서 브라켓(12)은 자동차 천정(T)에 고정될 수 있도록 상단이 절곡되고 볼트(미도시)가 관통되는 구멍(12a)이 형성된 구조이나 이는 일 실시예에 불과하고, 와이퍼가 작동되는 전방글라스(G)에 결합되는 다양한 구조로 구현할 수 있음은 물론이다. 또, 미러(11)는 운전자가 자동차 내부 상황을 알 수 있도록 후방을 반사시킨다.The body 10 is formed with a bracket 12 so that it can be installed on the top of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the bracket 12 has a structure in which a hole 12a through which a top is bent and a bolt (not shown) is formed so as to be fixed to the vehicle ceiling T is formed, but this is only one embodiment, and the wiper is operated. Of course, it can be implemented in a variety of structures coupled to the front glass (G). In addition, the mirror 11 reflects the rear so that the driver can know the situation inside the vehicle.

전방카메라(20)는 전방글라스(G)를 투과하여 자동차의 전방 외부를 촬영한다. 이때, 전방카메라(20)는 본체(10)의 전방에 설치되는 포스트(미도시)에 대하여 상하좌우로 소정 각도 회동한다. 이는, 자동차의 크기가 다르고 룸미러 카메라가 장착되는 위치가 다르기 때문에, 일반적인 자동차에도 범용적으로 장착될 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 즉, 운전자는 전방카메라를 하방 또는 상방으로 회동시킴으로써 전방을 가장 잘 촬영할 수 있는 위치를 설정할 수 있도록 한다.The front camera 20 passes through the front glass G and photographs the front outside of the vehicle. At this time, the front camera 20 rotates a predetermined angle up, down, left, and right with respect to a post (not shown) installed in front of the main body 10. This is because the size of the car is different and the position where the room mirror camera is mounted is different, so that it can be universally mounted to a general car. That is, the driver can set the position that can best photograph the front by rotating the front camera downward or upward.

후방카메라(30)는 미러(11)를 투과하여 자동차 내부를 촬영하며, 본체 내부에 고정되어 있다.The rear camera 30 penetrates the mirror 11 to photograph the inside of the vehicle and is fixed inside the main body.

측방카메라(40, 50)는 자동차의 측방글라스(미도시)를 투과하여 자동차의 측방 외부를 촬영한다. 이때, 각각의 측방카메라(40, 50)는 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 본체(10)의 후방에 설치되는 포스트(41, 51)에 대하여 상화좌우로 소정 각도 회동하는 것이 바람직하다. 이 역시, 자동차의 크기가 다르고 룸미러 카메라가 장착되는 위치가 다르기 때문이며, 일반적인 자동차에도 범용적으로 장착될 수 있게 하기위함이다.The side cameras 40 and 50 penetrate side glass (not shown) of the vehicle to photograph the outside of the side of the vehicle. At this time, it is preferable that each of the side cameras 40 and 50 rotates a predetermined angle left, right, left, and right with respect to the posts 41 and 51 provided at the rear of the main body 10, as shown in FIG. This is also because the size of the car is different and the position where the room mirror camera is mounted is different, so that it can be universally mounted to a general car.

충격센서(70)는 자동차가 접촉사고 또는 충돌사고와 같은 돌발상황이 발생되었을 때, 자동차에 가해진 충격을 감지한 후, 제어부(60)로 카메라(20, 30, 40, 50)들을 작동시키는 작동신호를 전송한다. 이러한 충격센서(70)는 급브레이크를 밝을 때에도 충격을 감지하는 것이 바람직하다.The impact sensor 70 detects a shock applied to the vehicle when an accident occurs such as a contact accident or a collision accident, and then operates the cameras 20, 30, 40, and 50 with the controller 60. Send a signal. Such a shock sensor 70 preferably detects the impact even when the sudden brake is bright.

경보센서(80)는 도어키(미도시)를 통하지 않고 도어가 열릴 경우, 예를 들면 도둑이 자동차를 훔치기 위하여 강제로 문을 열 경우, 카메라(20, 30, 40, 50)를 작동시키는 작동신호를 발생한다.The alarm sensor 80 operates to operate the cameras 20, 30, 40, and 50 when the door is opened without a door key (not shown), for example, when a thief forcibly opens the door to steal a car. Generate a signal.

수동스위치(90)는 본체(10) 또는 자동차의 핸들(미도시)에 장착될 수도 있다. 수동스위치(90)는 운전자가 돌발상황을 인위적으로 촬영할 필요가 있을 때 사용할 수 있다.The manual switch 90 may be mounted on the body 10 or a handle (not shown) of the vehicle. The manual switch 90 can be used when the driver needs to artificially photograph the accident.

메모리(100)는 카메라(20, 30, 40, 50)들에서 발생되는 이미지에 관련된 전기신호를 각각 저장한다. 메모리(100)는 사용자가 쉽게 분리할 수 있는 것이 바람직한데, 이는 메모리(100)에 저장된 이미지 정보를 다른 장소에 있는 컴퓨터나 프린터로 출력하기 위함이다. 즉, 메모리가 분리될 수 있으므로, 그 저장된 이미지 내용을 보다 용이하게 확인할 수 있는 것이다. 이때, 메모리에 저장된 이미지정보에는 촬영된 년, 월, 일, 시, 분, 초가 기록되어 있으므로, 돌발상황이 발생된 시점을 정확히 알 수 있다.The memory 100 stores electrical signals related to images generated by the cameras 20, 30, 40, and 50, respectively. It is preferable that the memory 100 can be easily separated by a user, in order to output image information stored in the memory 100 to a computer or a printer at another location. That is, since the memory can be separated, the stored image contents can be more easily confirmed. In this case, since the photographed year, month, day, hour, minute, and second are recorded in the image information stored in the memory, it is possible to accurately know the time point at which the accident occurred.

상기와 같은 룸미러 카메라의 동작을 설명한다.The operation of the room mirror camera as described above will be described.

자동차가 운행중에, 접촉사고나 충돌사고가 발생될 경우, 자동차에는 평소와는 다른 충격이 인가된다. 이 충격은 충격센서(70)에 의하여 검지되고, 충격센서(70)는 제어부(60)로 충격신호를 전송한다. 그러면, 제어부(60)는 상기한 카메라(20, 30, 40, 50)들을 소정시간 간격을 가지고 연속적으로 주위 상황을 촬영할 수 있도록 셔터(미도시)를 조작한다. 이때, 셔터속도는 1초 간격이 바람직하다.If a contact accident or a collision occurs while the vehicle is in operation, a different impact is applied to the vehicle. This shock is detected by the shock sensor 70, the shock sensor 70 transmits a shock signal to the control unit 60. Then, the controller 60 operates the shutter (not shown) so that the cameras 20, 30, 40, 50 can be photographed continuously at predetermined time intervals. In this case, the shutter speed is preferably 1 second intervals.

택시에 본원의 룸미러 카메라를 장착할 경우, 뒷좌석에 착석한 손님이 강도로 돌변할 수 있다. 이때에는, 운전자는 수동스위치(90)를 몰래 작동시키는데, 그러면, 후방카메라(30)는 뒷좌석에 않아있는 강도를 촬영한다. 이는, 나중에 강도를 검거하는 중요한 증거자료로 사용될 수 있다.When the room mirror camera of this application is attached to a taxi, the guest seated in the back seat may turn into intensity. At this time, the driver secretly operates the manual switch 90, and then the rear camera 30 photographs the intensity that is not in the rear seat. This can be used later as an important evidence of arrest.

또한, 주차중 도둑이 자동차를 훔치려할 때, 도둑은 열쇠가 없기 때문에 자동차 도어를 강제적으로 열려 할 것이다. 즉, 도어키를 통하지 않고 도어가 강제적으로 열리면, 경보센서(80)는 이를 검지한 후 카메라(30, 40, 50)를 작동시키는 작동신호를 발생한다. 작동신호는 제어부(60)가 카메라(20, 30, 40, 50)들의 셔터를 소정시간 간격을 가지고 연속적으로 촬영할 수 있도록 한다. 촬영은 소정시간 간격을 가지고 연속적으로 이루어지므로, 도둑이 문을 강제적으로 열고 자동차 내부로 들어오는 과정을 측방카메라(40, 50) 및 후방카메라(30)가 연속적으로 촬영한다. 촬영된 이미지 정보는 메모리(100)에 저장되어, 나중에 도둑을 검거하는 중요한 증거자료로 사용될 수 있다.Also, when a thief tries to steal a car while parking, the thief will be forced to open the car door because he has no keys. That is, when the door is forcibly opened without passing through the door key, the alarm sensor 80 detects this and generates an operation signal for operating the cameras 30, 40, and 50. The operation signal allows the controller 60 to continuously photograph the shutters of the cameras 20, 30, 40, and 50 at predetermined time intervals. Since the shooting is continuously performed at predetermined time intervals, the side cameras 40 and 50 and the rear camera 30 continuously photograph the process of the thief forcibly opening the door and entering the vehicle. The captured image information may be stored in the memory 100 to be used as important evidence for arresting a thief later.

그 외에도, 운행중 도난 차량이나 수배 차량을 발견할 때 수동스위치(90)를 조작하여 이를 촬영할 수 있고, 갓길운행자나, 신호위반자, 중앙선침범자, 무단쓰레기 투기자들도 촬영할 수 있다. 그리고, 운전중 절경을 촬영코자 할 경우에는 일반 카메라처럼 촬영할 수 있다.In addition, it can be photographed by operating the manual switch 90 when finding a stolen vehicle or arranging vehicle during operation, and can also photograph a rider, a signal offender, a center line invader, a dumping dumper. And, if you want to take a scenic view while driving, you can shoot like a normal camera.

또한, 룸미러 카메라에 후레쉬를 설치할 경우에, 야간에도 촬영이 가능하다.In addition, when a flash is installed in a room mirror camera, photography is possible at night.

촬영이 이루어지는 동안에, 촬영된 이미지에는 년, 월, 일, 시, 분, 초가 표시되어야 한다. 이는, 돌발상황이 발생된 시점을 증명할 수 있는 유용한 증거가 될 수 있다.While shooting is taking place, the year, month, day, hour, minute and second must be displayed in the captured image. This may be useful evidence to prove the point in time when an accident occurred.

여기서, 카메라가 작동하는 동안, 특히 셔터가 작동되는 동안에 소리가 나지 않아야 하는데, 이는 자동차에 탄 사람이 카메라의 존재를 모르게 하기 위함이다.Here, there should be no sound while the camera is in operation, especially while the shutter is in operation, so that the person in the car does not know the presence of the camera.

본 발명은 도면에 도시된 일 실시예를 참고로 설명되었으나 이는 예시적인 것에 불과하며, 본 기술 분야의 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 이로부터 다양한 변형 및 균등한 타 실시예가 가능하다는 점을 이해할 것이다.Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom.

상술한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 룸미러 카메라는, 자동차를 운행하거나 주차할 경우에 발생될 수 있는 돌발상황의 원인을 증명할 수 있어 시시비비를 줄일 수 있다.As described above, the room mirror camera according to the present invention can prove the cause of an unexpected situation that may occur when driving or parking a car, and thus it is possible to reduce the time and expense ratio.

또, 자동차를 운행하는 도중에 불법행위를 저지르는 차량을 촬영할 수 있어, 범법행위에 경종을 울릴 수 있다는 효과가 있다.In addition, it is possible to take pictures of a vehicle committing illegal activities while driving a car, and there is an effect that an alarm can be triggered in the offense.
