Description

Interior rearview mirror with electronic video recorder

The present invention relates to an interior rearview mirror, and more particularly to an interior rearview mirror with an electronic video recorder. Background technique

At present, there are few direct video records on the road, so it is difficult to judge who is right and wrong after a lot of traffic accidents. Who is responsible for the accident is difficult to prove? What is the real cause of the accident? Is there any measure to prevent recurrence of unfortunate tragedies? The audio and video recordings at the time can help restore the truth. At present, there is a product called "accident recorder", which is based on the principle that a palm-type camera is directly attached to the front windshield by a suction cup to record an image when an accident occurs. However, the disadvantage is that it is extremely easy to be stolen because it is an exterior accessory, so it must be removed every time you get off the vehicle, and then reinstalled each time you get on the bus. Also, due to the complicated installation, you need to adjust and fix the camera angle and then connect. The power supply, so the owner often misses the shooting in the case of short-distance driving or rushing time or forgetting to install, and because it is installed on the front windshield of the vehicle, it will also affect the driver's line of sight. At the same time, because the windshield becomes hot in the sun, it will affect the working state and life of the camera. The suction of the suction cup is limited. When the vehicle is running, it will cause the camera to shake. Even when the collision occurs, the suction cup will fall off and the camera will become a flying object and cause damage to the passengers inside the vehicle. Another product called "Intelligent Incident Recorder" is to mount the camera lens on the back of the rear view mirror (outside the mirror case), and then connect the cable to the main unit installed in the car floor. There are several connections that are exposed to the front of the driver, which can affect the driving operation. The bigger drawback is that only the image in front can be captured. Summary of the invention

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle interior rearview mirror with an electronic video recorder that can record images and sounds around the interior and exterior of a vehicle and can record real-time vehicle speed.

The present invention is achieved by: an interior rearview mirror with an electronic video recorder, comprising a mirror housing, characterized in that the mirror housing further comprises an electronic video recorder, the electronic video recorder comprising a recorder main board, and Processor, camera ball, memory card, microphone connected to the recorder board through a connection line Wind, electronic clock, and vehicle speed signal; the camera ball includes a plurality of cameras in multiple directions; the electronic video recorder is integrated in the interior rearview mirror, and the three leads are respectively connected to the vehicle power line and the vehicle speed signal. The line and the USB port are connected. The electronic video recorder has all components, connecting wires and leads except the camera ball integrated and hidden in the mirror housing.

The processor is a conventional chip processor, and the function of integrating the video signal collected by the camera and the microphone with the time of the electronic clock is stored in the memory card. The in-vehicle power supply supplies power to the recorder and maintains all components including the camera to work normally. The speed signal is connected to the vehicle speed signal line to collect the speed signal in real time. The speed signal is also processed by the processor and integrated with the video signal and stored in the storage. In the card, the USB port is used to connect to a computer or player. The above set of electronic video recorders are mounted in the rear view mirror housing of the vehicle to make it an integral car accessory.

The invention integrates four or several micro-incorporated color video and audio cameras into a casing including a semicircular type but not limited to a semicircular type, and combines a camera ball to be mounted under the mirror casing to connect the driving information of the car, and connect the access device. , integrated into a car drive recorder, and then integrated into the interior rearview mirror in a conventional manner. The camera ball has a multi-directional camera function to view the front of the vehicle, the interior of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle, the left side of the vehicle, and the right side of the vehicle. Recording starts after the car is powered on, and the collected video signals are integrated into the memory through the processor integrated with time and speed. The memory recording mode is scrolling: Automatically store and automatically delete the data before the set time. If it is set to 12 hours, the memory only stores the last 12 hours of data and automatically deletes the data 12 hours ago. The size of the access capacity determines the length of time for scrolling records.

The main task of the present invention is to record all the images, sounds, current speeds, nearby road conditions and any accidents within the range that can be photographed while the vehicle is running, with accurate time and flood season and speed, where necessary At the time, it can be used as evidence or for reviewing the purpose of the record.

According to the present invention, as long as the vehicle is started, the road image can be recorded at all times, and the present invention can be applied to most vehicles or all vehicles, and it can be listed as a standard equipment for new vehicles in the future. The national unit or individual can view the recorded video and audio screen via the access device of the present invention. If it is a car equipped with a car TV, you can watch the recording or real-time picture through the car video system at any time.

When driving on the road, drivers often encounter situations such as: black smoke from buses, overloaded trucks or malicious dumping of waste, red light in front of the car or illegal driving, all recorded images can be recorded. Submit a report to the traffic supervision unit and get a reward for the report. In this way, the driver of the passing vehicle on the road will become a role in maintaining traffic from a role that may be a violation of the driver. The road order will be greatly improved. On the road or on the sidewalk, there may be accidents such as car accidents or even criminal acts or disasters. Since vehicles pass by at any time on the road, we can find the vehicles passing through the area at that time, and it is possible to restore the incident. There are even multiple vehicles that capture multiple angles of the lens to help understand the full picture of what happened at the time.

In summary, the present invention is integrated in the interior rearview mirror, has good concealment, and is not stolen and affects the driver's sight. When the vehicle is started, it will automatically turn on the power and shoot automatically. It does not need to be reinstalled and it will not miss shooting because it is forgotten to open. And it will not be exposed directly to the sun, so it will run reliably for a long time. Because it is integrated in the interior rearview mirror, the camera will not shake, and it will not become a flying object to cause accidental injury when the two cars collide; it can also take multi-angle images and the overall installation is easy.
