Driving recorder and driving recorder system with wireless transmission function

A driving recorder and its system, especially a driving recorder with wireless transmission function and its system.

Today, when urban populations are becoming denser and traffic conditions are more accidental, driving recorders are mainly used to record the surrounding conditions when driving at any time, as proof of records when accidents occur. In addition, today's driving recorder can further include a speed camera reminder function, location information based on global satellite (GPS) positioning and a speed camera information file, the speed camera information file contains a plurality of speed camera location information, when the vehicle travels to When any snapshot location information is taken, the driving recorder will emit a warning sound or display a warning message.

In reality, the speed camera location will change at any time, so the speed camera information file in the driving recorder needs to be updated frequently. Generally speaking, driving recorder manufacturers will provide the latest speed camera update files and store them in a cloud server. Users can download the update files to the memory of the mobile device after connecting to the server through the mobile device, and then use the blue Bud connection, wired connection, etc. to transmit to the driving recorder. That is to say, the user needs to connect the mobile device to the server to download the update file first, and then further connect to the driving recorder for file transfer. However, due to the fact that the update time and frequency of the speed measurement photo information file are not constant, the user needs to update the speed measurement photo information file from time to time. For the user, many times and complicated manual operation steps often take up a lot of time. less time.

In addition, in order to transmit the image files of the driving recorder, a common method is to directly take out the storage unit of the driving recorder, such as a memory card, and read and save it by a personal computer. Alternatively, the mobile device can also download the file in the driving recorder to a mobile phone or a personal computer through a bluetooth connection or a wired connection. However, because the data transmission speed of the Bluetooth connection is relatively slow and is more susceptible to signal interference, when the connection is unstable or there are other interferences, the data transmission is likely to be interrupted, resulting in operation failure. For wired connection, there are troublesome steps such as additional preparation of wires and plugging.

To sum up, whether it is an update file or an image file of a driving recorder, there is an urgent need for a fast, stable, and easy-to-operate transmission method.
