The power source of the image capture module 10 can come from the engine power of the vehicle 100 or the battery, but is not limited thereto.

The road 200 may be, for example, an expressway, but is not limited thereto. The highway 200 can also be, for example, an expressway or a general provincial road. A plurality of road monitors 202 are installed on the road 200, and the plurality of road images 204 measured by the road monitors 202 are stored in the cloud database 300 in real time, for example, through wired or wireless transmission. Wherein the positions of the road monitors 202 are distributed on the road 200 , such as distributed beside or above the road 200 at fixed or non-fixed intervals. Alternatively, the highway monitor 202 may also be, for example, an ETC vehicle monitor, but is not limited thereto. The ETC vehicle monitor can be, for example, an ETC monitor for general roads, and as shown in FIG. License plate number and driving conditions.

The GPS module 20 is installed on the vehicle 100 to provide a plurality of driving positions of the vehicle 100 when the vehicle 100 is traveling along the road 200 , wherein the driving positions constitute a driving path. The GPS module 20 will record multiple driving positions of the vehicle 100 during the driving process of the vehicle 100 , and can be combined with the image capture module 10 to simultaneously record the driving path and the driving image 102 .

The processing module 30 is connected to the image capturing module 10 , the GPS module 20 and the cloud database 300 . The processing module 30 is preferably disposed on the vehicle 100 , and is, for example, an automobile main unit of the vehicle 100 or integrated in an automobile electronic circuit structure. The processing module 30 can be electrically connected to the image capture module 10 and the GPS module 20 through a wired method, and receive or transmit information to the cloud database 300 through a wireless transmission method such as Bluetooth. The processing module 30 obtains the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 according to the driving positions of the vehicle 100 . In other words, when the driving positions of the vehicle 100 happen to pass by the road monitors 202 or its vicinity, the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 can be obtained.

The storage module 40 is installed on the vehicle 100 to store the driving images 102 obtained by the image capture module 10 and the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions. One feature of the present invention is that although there are multiple road monitors 202 on the road 200, for example, road sections A, B and C are all provided with multiple road monitors 202 . However, the storage module 40 of the vehicle 100 will only store the road image 204 measured by the road monitor 202 on the driving path of the vehicle 100 (such as the road image of the road section B), and will not store the road section that the vehicle 100 has not traveled. Road images 204 measured by road monitors 202 on A and C.

The present invention can obtain the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 by detecting in real time whether the distance between the vehicle 100 and other vehicles, such as the following vehicle 400, is too close for a long time (see FIG. 2 ). . In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the vehicle 100 and the rear vehicle 400 can be detected by additionally installing a distance warning device 50 . For example, the driving image comparison system of the present invention may include a distance warning device 50 installed on the vehicle 100. The distance warning device 50 detects the driving distance between the vehicle 100 and the following vehicle 400 in real time, and if the driving distance lasts for a predetermined period Assuming that the time is less than a preset distance, the distance alarm 50 transmits a warning signal to the processing module 30, so that the processing module 30 obtains the corresponding driving positions in the cloud database 300 according to the driving positions of the vehicle 100 The road images 204 . For example, if the distance warning device 50 detects that the distance between the rear car 400 and the user's vehicle 100 is too short (such as less than 2 meters) for a long time (for example, more than 10 seconds), the distance warning device 50 will The warning signal is transmitted to the processing module 30 , so that the processing module 30 can obtain the road image 204 captured by the road monitor 202 near the position according to the current driving position of the vehicle 100 . In this way, even if the image capture module 10 of the vehicle 100 itself may not capture the license plate number of the rear vehicle 400 due to the camera angle or being blocked, it can be known through the road image 204 of the road monitor 202 The license plate number of the rear car 400 can also be known in real time through the display module 70 . And because the storage module 40 can store the road image 204 of the road monitor 202 at this time, it can also be used as supporting evidence if there is a subsequent accident dispute. Even if you don't happen to capture the moment when the car is forced, it can be used as a reference picture for supporting evidence.

Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the vehicle 100 and the rear vehicle 400 is detected through the driving image 102 captured by the image capture module 10 of the vehicle 100 itself. For example, the processing module 30 judges the driving distance between the vehicle 100 and the following vehicle 400 in real time according to the driving image 102, and if the driving distance lasts for a preset time (for example, more than 10 seconds) is less than a preset distance (for example, less than 2 meters), the processing module 30 obtains the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 according to the driving positions of the vehicle 100 . In other words, in this embodiment, there is no need to set up additional distance warning devices, but the distance between vehicles is judged by image recognition.

The driving image comparison system of the present invention can further include an alarm module 60 installed on the vehicle 100, and the processing module 30 first wirelessly transmits an alarm message to the traffic control center 208 of the highway 200 via the alarm module 60 (for example, highway traffic control center), and then obtain the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 . For example, when the above-mentioned rear car 400 malicious driving behavior occurs (at this time, the distance warning device 50 will transmit a warning signal to obtain the road image 204 captured by the nearby road monitor 202), the alarm module 60 will also The traffic control center 208 can be notified synchronously so as to record the malicious behavior of the rear car 400 or record the road driving conditions at that time. In addition, the driving image comparison system of the present invention can also directly obtain the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 when transmitting an alarm message to the traffic control center 208 of the highway 200, or When the traffic control center 208 receives the alarm message, it allows the driving image comparison system of the present invention to obtain the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions in the cloud database 300 .

In addition, the processing module 30 can further identify the plurality of license plate numbers N in the driving image 102 and the road images 204 corresponding to the driving positions. The road monitor 202 is to provide these road images 204 and a plurality of road monitor positions 206, and the storage module 40 is to store the driving image 102, the road image 204 corresponding to the driving positions, the license plate numbers N and the Highway monitor location 206.

The display module 70 can display the driving image 102 , and the displayed driving image 102 can further display the license plate number N of the surrounding environment vehicles (that is, the license plate number N of the vehicle that can be captured by the image capture module 10 ). For example, when the vehicle 100 is driving, there is a truck directly in front, and the license plate number N1 of the truck is xx-xxx, and there is a car right in front, and the license plate number N2 of the car is yy-yyy. Therefore, at this time, as shown in FIG. 3 , in the driving image 102 captured by the image capture module 10, it can be seen that there is a truck directly in front of the vehicle 100 driven by the user, and in the driving image 102 can be seen. The license plate number xx-xxx of the truck is interpreted by the processing module 30 and marked on the driving image 102 . And there is a car in the right front of the vehicle 100 driven by the user, and the license plate number yy-yyy of the car can be read by the processing module 30 in the driving image 102 and marked on the driving image 102 . Therefore, the user can recognize the license plate number N of other vehicles by watching the driving image 102 displayed on the display module 70 during driving. Moreover, the driving image 102 stored in the storage module 40 can also be used to assist the requirement of referring to the driving image 102 to check the driving record of the vehicle 100 in the future.

In addition, the display module 70 can also display the road image 204 , and the user can choose to display the driving image 102 or the road image 204 by switching the display screen of the display module 70 . Alternatively, the driving image 102 and the road image 204 are displayed simultaneously. Similarly, the road image 204 displayed by the display module 70 can further display the license plate numbers N of vehicles in the surrounding environment (ie, the license plate numbers N of the vehicles captured by the road monitor 202 ). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the road image 204 captured by the road monitor 202, it can be seen that there is a truck directly in front of the vehicle 100 driven by the user, and it can be processed by the processing module 30 (or The road monitor 202) judges that the license plate number N1 of the truck is xx-xxx and marks it on the road image 204. There is a car on the left front of the vehicle 100 driven by the user, and it can be read that the license plate number N3 of the car is cc-ccc and marked on the road image 204 . There is a car on the left of the vehicle 100 driven by the user, and it can be read that the license plate number N4 of the car is bb-bbb and marked on the road image 204 . And there is a bus directly behind the vehicle 100 driven by the user, and the license plate number N5 of the bus can be read as aa-aaa and marked on the road image 204 . Therefore, the user can recognize the license plate number N of other vehicles by viewing the road image 204 displayed on the display module 70 during driving. Moreover, the road image 204 stored in the storage module 40 can also be used to assist in recalling the road image 204 to check the vehicle condition of the road 200 in the future.

In the present invention, the display module 70 can be further used to display a navigation map 72, as shown in FIG. 5 . Since the user often uses the navigation map 72 to assist the destination when driving, the license plate of the surrounding environment vehicles can also be displayed on the navigation map 72 displayed on the display module 70 when the user opens the navigation map 72 for navigation. Number N. As shown in Figure 6, the license plate number N of the vehicle captured by the road monitor 202 is simultaneously displayed on the navigation map 72, such as the license plate number xx-xxx, yy-yyy, aa-aaa, bb-bbb and cc- ccc. In this way, when using the navigation map 72 , the user can view the location of the vehicle and its license plate number in the surrounding environment at the same time. In addition, the driving position of the vehicle 100 and the road monitor position 206 can also be marked on the navigation map 72 , so that the user can view the position of the road monitor 202 on the road 200 while using the navigation map 72 .
