Description

Driving recorder and its video image embedding geographic information application method

The invention relates to a driving recorder and a video recording application method thereof, in particular to a method for embedding a current geographic information into a video recording screen of a driving recorder.

See Figure 1. At present, the driving recorder 10 installed in the vehicle has the information of the video P related information embedded as shown in FIG. 2, and the "Yangchun" type has "date", "current time", and even more includes "vehicle speed" and "geographic coordinates". "When the information is helpful to the user, when the user sees the video or its geographic coordinates, unless it has obvious landmarks or architectural features, it cannot directly follow the administrative district, road name or For the association of the house number, it is necessary to use the assistance of the auxiliary software to compare the administrative area, the road name and/or the house number of the current location, which is very inconvenient.

The purpose of the present invention is to enable the driving recorder to directly embed the geographic information such as the administrative area, the road name and/or the house number at the current location into the video recorded by the driving recorder; another object of the present invention is to provide a recording device for the driving recorder. .

In order to achieve the above video recording method, the method step provided by the present invention comprises: first obtaining a GPS signal by using a driving recorder. The geographic information corresponding to the administrative area, the road name or the house number of the GPS signal, or the combination of the above is taken out from the map. Then get instant images. The geographic information of the administrative district, the road name or the house number or the combination of the above is embedded in a partial area of the picture of the instant image to form a combined image. Then record the merged image.

In order to complete the above video recording apparatus, the present invention provides a video recording apparatus embedding a driving recorder of a map screen, comprising: a casing. One power supply unit setting Inside the housing. A control unit is disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the power supply unit. An image capturing unit is electrically connected to the control unit for capturing an instant image. A GPS receiving unit is electrically connected to the control unit for obtaining the time and geographic coordinates of the area where the driving recorder is located. A map unit is used to provide geographic information of the administrative area, the road name or the house number or the combination of the above in the area where the driving recorder is located. A data storage unit is configured to store the video data of the real-time image by the control unit superimposing the geographic information of the same geographic coordinate.

The above-mentioned video embedding the current geographic information technology allows the user to intuitively know the current administrative area, road name or house number or the combination of the above-mentioned geographic information when viewing the video, so that the user can more easily understand the video when finishing the movie. The relevant location of the administrative area at the time.

A schematic view of the embedded road name.

The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are illustrated in the drawings The components or steps, and the components or steps shown are not drawn in the number, shape, size ratio, etc. at the time of implementation. The actual size of the implementation is a selective design, and the layout of the components or steps is It may be more complicated.

Please refer to Figure 3 first. The driving information recorder embedded in the geographic information of the embodiment comprises: a casing 11 for carrying the necessary component devices (the component devices are described later). a power supply unit 12 is disposed in the housing 11 and can be a battery or capacitance. A control unit 13 is disposed in the housing 11 and electrically connected to the power supply unit 12. An image capturing unit 14 is electrically connected to the control unit 13 for capturing an instant image 141. A GPS receiving unit 15 is electrically connected to the control unit 13 for obtaining the current time of the area where the driving recorder 10 is located and the GPS signal 151 such as the current geographic coordinates. A map unit 16 is provided for providing geographic information 161 of the area in which the driving recorder 10 is currently located. A data storage unit 17 is configured to store image data processed by the control unit 13, for example, overlaying geographic information of the same geographic coordinates on the instant image 141 to form merged video material.

Please refer to the flowchart of the embodiment of the video recording method shown in FIG. 4, and the schematic diagram of the geographic information embedded in the video screen of FIG. 5 and FIG. The steps of the method embodiment include: Step S10, first obtaining a GPS signal 151, which may be provided by the GPS receiving unit 15 in the same driving recorder 10, or provided by an external connection (wired or wireless). The GPS signal 151 includes a time and a geographic coordinate signal corresponding to the time.

In step S20, a geographic information 161 corresponding to the GPS signal 151 is taken out from a picture, and the picture information can be provided by the picture resource unit 16, or the cloud connection of the wireless connection, and the geographic information 161 can be a " The name of the area and the name of the road name (as shown in Figure 5), or when there is no house information in the area, the geographic information 161' is the current "road name" (as shown in Figure 6). Or include the name of the administrative district (as shown in Figure 7), of course, the name of the administrative district can be combined with the name of the road. The administrative area of the above-mentioned GPS signal is calculated by calculating the obtained GPS signal 151 and the administrative area polygon information in the existing picture unit 16 (or independent of the picture unit 16), and the administrative area of the GPS signal 151 is obtained. .

In step S30, an instant image 141 is obtained, which can be obtained by a photographic lens in the driving recorder 10.

In step S40, the geographic information 161 is embedded in a partial area of the image of the instant image 141 to form a merged image 18. The geographic information 161 superimposed on the upper layer may be an opaque text image, or may be transparent. The brightness shows the picture of the live image on the back.

In step S50, the merged image 18 is recorded and recorded in a data storage unit 17, such as a memory or a memory card.

In step S60, a plurality of consecutive images of the live image 141 (ie, the merged image 18) embedded with the geographic information 161 are recorded as a video file.

In the above, it is merely described that the present invention is an embodiment or an embodiment of the technical means for solving the problem, and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, the equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention or the scope of the invention are covered by the scope of the invention.
