Description

Cloud integrated query system and method for driving record

The invention relates to a driving recorder, in particular to a cloud integrated inquiry system and method capable of transmitting a driving record signal to a cloud server/or a handheld communication device for people to query the driving record.

With the economic growth and the progress of the society, more and more people and families will purchase cars to facilitate people to use when they go out for business and holiday trips, making vehicles such as cars become the means of transportation for modern people: With the rapid use of car usage, a large number of vehicles on the road will inevitably have various types of traffic accidents. However, in many accidents, there is often no evidence or accident scenes. The image can only be investigated by the forensic personnel after the event, which makes it difficult to clarify the responsibility of the accident.

The reason is that in order to improve the above problems, a Republic of China invention patent publication No. I453615 discloses a "smart driving record and inspection system", and the system mainly uses a capture unit to capture the vehicle during the driving process. The video signal is stored in a memory unit, so that the user can view the video signal stored in the memory unit to identify the responsibility of the accident. However, a slot is set in the current driving recorder. The memory unit (such as a memory chip) is inserted therein to enable the driving recorder to operate the photographic record after the vehicle is started, and store the recorded image during the driving in the memory unit; however, the current driving recorder can only display the image. Stored in the memory unit, when backing up the image in the memory unit, it is often necessary to first turn off the driving recorder, remove the memory unit from the driving recorder, and then insert the memory unit into the card reader, and read The card machine is connected to a computer. The user can back up the image in the memory unit by operating the computer, and after the image backup is completed, the user also needs to insert the memory unit into the slot of the driving recorder for subsequent function of the original driving recorder. .

It can be seen from the above that when the user wants to back up the image in the memory unit, the memory unit must be removed from the driving recorder first, and then the memory unit is loaded back into the slot of the driving recorder after the backup is completed. The foregoing operation is not only complicated, but often occurs when the user forgets to replace the memory unit into the driving recorder or loses the memory unit, and the driving recorder loses the function of storing the image, thereby causing troubles in subsequent use. Moreover, it is often found that the memory unit or the driving record signal on it is damaged by the impact of a traffic accident, and this is another main cause of the loss of driving records.
