Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the following description of the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same elements in the drawings and redundant descriptions of the same elements will be omitted.

Bicycle driving information providing system using the Internet of Things according to an embodiment of the present invention, the front black box 10, the rear black box 30, and a portable device (50).

The front black box 10 may photograph the current front environment of the bicycle while driving (running).

The front black box 10 may transmit the captured front environment information (eg, a video, a still image, a photo, etc.) to the mobile device 50 in real time. At this time, the front black box 10 may be transmitted by short-range wireless communication using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

An internal configuration of the front black box 10 will be described later.

The rear black box 30 may photograph the current rear environment of the bicycle while driving (running).

The rear black box 30 may transmit the captured rear environment information (eg, a video, a still image, a photo, etc.) to the mobile device 50 in real time. In this case, the rear black box 30 may be transmitted through short-range wireless communication using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Since the internal configuration of the rear black box 30 is almost the same as the internal configuration of the front black box 10, it will be fully understood by the configuration of FIG. 2 to be described later.

As such, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is most preferable that the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30 have only a photographing function and a communication function. Typically, the black box of the vehicle is further provided with a GPS, a large memory, and other sensors. However, the bicycle black box should be smaller and lighter than the vehicle black box, and especially low battery consumption. Therefore, it is most desirable that the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30 have only a photographing function and a communication function in order to reduce battery consumption.

The mobile device 50 is to be carried by the user, and a smart phone may be used. In addition to a smartphone, a smart pad, a smart watch, or the like may be used. Such a mobile device 50 may be mounted on a bicycle and used.

The mobile device 50 is equipped with a predetermined black box application (app).

The mobile device 50 may provide the bicycle driving information to the user through the black box application.

The portable device 50 may acquire various types of detection information (eg, location information and collision information, etc.) using an embedded sensor (eg, a GPS sensor, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, etc.). The portable device 50 may include a timer (not shown) and obtain sensing time information (time stamp) for the acquired detection information through a timer. In addition, the mobile device 50 connects the acquired detection information and the captured images from the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30 to each other by using each sensing time information (time stamp), and then operates in the memory. Can be stored as information.

In other words, since the

black boxes

10 and 30 and the mobile device 50 are heterogeneous devices, between the front black box 10 and the mobile device 50 and between the rear black box 30 and the mobile device 50. It is preferable to perform time synchronization for transmitting and receiving the captured image. For example, when the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30 send the captured image to the mobile device 50 in real time, the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30 send time information on the captured image. Here, the image photographed by the front black box 10 and the time information on the captured image may be referred to as photographing information. In addition, the image photographed by the rear black box 30 and time information about the captured image may be referred to as photographing information. Accordingly, the mobile device 50 receives the shooting information from the

black boxes

10 and 30, and time information (that is, sensing time information; time stamp) which senses the position at the time of receiving the captured image in the shooting information. Can be stored to match. In this way, the mobile device 50 can accurately provide driving information (eg, a video or a still image, a picture) of a user's desired point. That is, the mobile device 50 obtains detection information (eg, location information and collision information) generated using a GPS sensor, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like and time information (ie, sensing time information) for the corresponding detection information. . Then, the portable device 50 may connect the detection information and the images from the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30 to respective sensing time information and store them as driving information.

The reason why the detection information and the captured image are connected to each other by using each sensing time information and then stored in the memory as driving information will be described below.

The heterogeneous devices, the

black boxes

10 and 30 and the portable device 50, must always match data and need time synchronization for data matching. In the embodiment of the present invention, the photographing information is generated by the

black boxes

10 and 30, but the main body of the generation, storage and provision of the driving information by using the photographing information is the mobile device 50. Accordingly, it is necessary to organize the received information from the standpoint of the mobile device 50. To this end, when the mobile device 50 receives the shooting information from the

black boxes

10 and 30, the mobile device 50 may detect the sensing time information (second sensing time information), which is time information that senses the location at the time of receiving the corresponding shooting information. Obtain

The mobile device 50 stores detection information (including location information and collision information on the current location of the bicycle) and shooting information as driving information, and sensing time information (first sensing time information) for the detection information, and The sensing time information (second sensing time information) with respect to the photographing information is matched with each other and stored as driving information. In this way, the mobile device 50 can provide the driving information of the point requested by the user more quickly and accurately.

From the standpoint of the portable device 50, if the detection information and the photographing information are simply stored in the order in which they are received, the user cannot easily provide the desired driving information later. That is, the mobile device 50 should have a basis for quickly and accurately extracting driving information about a desired point by the user, and it can be said that matching of the first and second sensing time information plays such a role.

The mobile device 50 may display driving information by a user's selection. Here, an example of the driving information displayed on the mobile device 50 may be as follows. The bicycle movement path for each hour may be displayed on the map, and when the user selects a specific point, the image captured by the

black boxes

10 and 30 and the collision information may be displayed through the sensing time information. Here, the map represents a representation of a space corresponding to an area name or a section name on which the user has traveled by using a bicycle, and may be displayed by input or selection of the area name / section name of the user.

As such, the mobile device 50 may not only store image information from the

black boxes

10 and 30, but may also search. Here, the storage of the image information may be associated with a cloud (server on the Internet) (not shown).

On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to install a safety bell in the front black box 10 or the rear black box 30. That is, when an accident occurs, when the user presses the safety bell, images and text messages (eg, a message including information indicating an accident occurrence) before and after the accident may be automatically transmitted to a local safety control center such as 119. Of course, if necessary, a safety bell function to perform the above functions may be added to the app of the mobile device 50 instead of the front black box 10 or the rear black box 30.

In addition, when an accident occurs, the mobile device 50 may extract the license plate from the images of the

black boxes

10 and 30 by analyzing an image of the time of the accident and a few seconds before and after the occurrence of the accident. When the images of the

black boxes

10 and 30 are stored in a cloud (server on the Internet) (not shown), the license plate may be extracted after analyzing the images using cloud computing power.

To be controlled. At this time, the controller 28 includes a timer (not shown) therein, and when the image captured by the photographing unit 12 is sent to the mobile device 50, the controller 28 may send time information on the captured image. . This is necessary for time synchronization with the mobile device 50 as described above.

In addition, the controller 28 may control the charging of the battery in the battery charger 20, and grasps the operation state of the front black box 10 or the rear black box 30 to display the state of the status display unit 24. Can be controlled, and the operation of the lighting unit 26 can be controlled.

In other words, the location information detector 74 may not only detect the current location of the bicycle on which the user rides but also provide a map of an area corresponding to the current location of the user.

The collision information detector 76 may detect collision information (eg, the driving speed of the bicycle in which the user rides, the impact value according to the collision, the collision direction, etc.) of the bicycle on which the user rides. In other words, the collision information detection unit 76 may detect the movement speed and the collision information of the bicycle using a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, an impact sensor, and the like. Here, the gravity sensor may detect the direction of gravity, and may detect the collision direction when the bicycle collides. The acceleration sensor can measure the speed of movement of the bicycle. The gyro sensor may detect the shaking of the bicycle. When the shaking of the bicycle of a predetermined size or more is detected, the controller 86 may determine that the user rides the bicycle and operates the bicycle. The controller 86 may determine that the bicycle on which the user rides is stopped based on the sensing value of the gyro sensor. The shock sensor may detect an external shock applied to the bicycle.

The sensing time detector 78 may detect time information (ie, first sensing time information; time stamp) of detection information (eg, location information and collision information) detected by the location information detector 74 and the collision information detector 76. Can be detected. Here, the point where the collision occurred may be referred to as an event point.

In addition, the sensing time detector 78 may detect the second sensing time information, which is time information of sensing the position at the time of receiving the photographing information from the front black box 10 and / or the rear black box 30. .

The memory 80 stores images from the front black box 10 and / or the rear black box 30 received by the communication unit 72 under the control of the controller 86. In this case, the memory 80 stores time information about the image together in each of the front black box 10 and / or the rear black box 30.

In addition, the memory 80 may include detection information (eg, location information and collision information) detected by the location information detector 74 and the collision information detector 76, the front black box 10, and / or the rear black box 30. ) Is captured using each sensing time information (time stamp) and stored as driving information.

The memory 80 may be configured as SRAM or DRAM, or may be configured as a flash memory in which data is maintained even when the power is cut off.

The input unit 82 may receive a photographing mode for photographing a surrounding environment of a bicycle, a driving information inquiry mode for retrieving driving information stored in the memory 80, and the like. Here, the shooting mode is the front shooting mode to shoot the front environment by the front black box 10, the rear shooting mode to shoot the rear environment by the rear black box 30, the front black box 10 and the rear black There may be a front and rear photographing mode for photographing the front and rear environment by the box 30.

In addition, the input unit 82 may input an area name or a section name where the user traveled by using a bicycle in the driving information inquiry mode.

The display unit 84 displays the driving information of the corresponding user as the driving information inquiry mode is selected by the input unit 82. For example, the display unit 84 may display a bicycle movement path for each hour on a map, and when a user selects a specific point, the image captured by the

black boxes

10 and 30 and the collision information at the corresponding point through the time information may be displayed. Can be displayed.

The controller 86 controls the image from the

black boxes

10 and 30 received by the communication unit 72 to be stored in the memory 80. At this time, the controller 86 controls the detection information (eg, location information and collision information) from the location information detector 74 and the collision information detector 76 and the images from the black boxes 10 and 30 (that is, the captured image). Information about the time information) may be connected to respective sensing time information (ie, first and second sensing time information) from the sensing time detector 78 and stored in the memory 80 as driving information.

In particular, the controller 86 may perform automatic image storage management when a shock (falling) occurs. For example, when the bicycle on the road falls down due to an impact, the collision information detection unit 76 in the mobile device 50 detects the collision information corresponding thereto and sends the same to the controller 86. Accordingly, the controller 86 determines that the currently running bicycle has fallen due to the shock, and automatically stores the image photographed at the current time point (or for about 3 seconds before and after including the current time point) as event information. Of course, when such automatic image storage is performed, the location information detector 74 detects the information of the current position, and the sensing time detector 78 detects the current time information and transmits the result to the controller 86. will be. In addition, the location information and the time information will be stored together as event information during automatic image storage.

Meanwhile, the controller 86 controls the display unit 84 to display the driving information of the corresponding user as the input unit 82 receives the driving information inquiry mode.

Although not shown in the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention provides an image of the

black boxes

10 and 30 stored in the memory 80 through connection with an external platform (eg, Facebook, Google Map, Strava, etc.) (eg, Video, still images, photos, etc.) can be shared.

Next, a bicycle driving information providing method using the IoT will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10. FIG. 11 is a diagram of a bicycle driving information providing method using the Internet of Things according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user turns on the power of the front black box 10 and the rear black box 30, and operates the mobile device 50 to turn on the front and rear photographing modes (S10 and S12). Of course, if necessary, only the front photographing mode or the rear photographing mode may be turned on. On the other hand, the mobile device 50 is preferably mounted fixedly on the bicycle rather than in the pocket of the clothes worn by the user. When the mobile device 50 is in the pocket of the user's clothes, a lot of errors may occur in detecting collision information. When the mobile device 50 is fixedly mounted on the bicycle, collision information may be detected more accurately.

After that, the user travels to a desired area or section after boarding the bicycle.

As the user rides the bicycle, the front black box 10 transmits the image photographing the environment in front of the bicycle and the time information on the captured image to the mobile device 50 in near field communication in real time. At the same time, the rear black box 30 transmits the image photographing the environment of the rear of the bicycle and the time information on the photographed image to the mobile device 50 in near field communication in real time (S14).

In addition, the mobile device 50 detects various types of detection information (eg, location information and collision information) as the bicycle is driven, and provides sensing time information (time stamp) for various types of detection information. Obtain (S16).

Thereafter, the mobile device 50 connects the detection information (eg, location information and collision information) and the captured image by using the respective sensing time information (that is, the first and second sensing time information) to store the internal memory 80. ) As the driving information (S18).

As such, the driving information may be continuously generated and stored in the memory 80 while the user rides the bicycle.

If the user selects the driving information inquiry mode after the bicycle driving is completed (that is, the front and rear shooting mode is OFF) (“Yes” in S20), the mobile device 50 displays the driving information of the user. (S22).

For example, when a user inputs a region name to search driving information of a region, the mobile device 50 displays a bicycle movement route by time on a map showing the region as shown in FIG. 11. The mobile device 50 displays the image captured by the

black boxes

10 and 30 and the collision information through the time information. In FIG. 11, a, b, and c indicate points at which an event such as a bicycle collision occurs.

In this case, when the user selects any one point among a, b, and c points, collision information (for example, driving speed of the user's bicycle, impact value due to the collision, collision direction, etc.) at the corresponding point is displayed. In addition, the video is played back and forth about 3 seconds (user-configurable) from the time when the collision occurred. As a result, the user can accurately check the collision situation at the corresponding point. Of course, if the user selects a point other than a, b, and c points, the user may select about 3 seconds before and after the user's driving speed and time passed by the point when the user passes the point. Information such as a video can be displayed.

On the other hand, as described above, when the safety bell function is added to the app of the mobile device 50, when the user presses the safety bell due to the accident occurs, before and after the accident video and text messages (for example, to inform the contents of the accident occurrence) Messages may be automatically sent to local safety control centers such as 119.

In addition, the license plate extraction function can be given to the mobile device 50. Accordingly, when an accident occurs, the mobile device 50 may automatically extract the license plate by analyzing the image of the time point of the accident and a few seconds before and after the occurrence of the accident among the images of the

black boxes

10 and 30. The extracted license plate information will be automatically sent to the regional safety control center.

In the modified example of the present invention, a plurality of mobile devices 50 are interlocked with the server 90.

That is, each of the mobile devices 50 is a device of a user who rides a bicycle running in a desired area or section for each user.

As the plurality of portable devices 50 are linked with the server 90, the server 90 may share risk factors on various bicycle roads among the users.

As described above, the best embodiment has been disclosed in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms have been used herein, they are used only for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention as defined in the meaning or claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible from this.
