Vehicle Surveillance System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17818829 titled 'Vehicle Surveillance System
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves surveilling with a vehicle by receiving area-of-interest data from a vehicle user, which delineates a virtual fence around the vehicle. The vehicle is parked adjacent to an infrastructure, and sensor data is received from a sensor of the vehicle monitoring the area of interest. The method detects a predetermined activity by a predetermined object of interest within the area of interest based on the sensor data, and notifies the vehicle user of the sensed activity.
- The method involves receiving area-of-interest data from a vehicle user to create a virtual fence around the vehicle.
- Sensor data is collected from a sensor of the vehicle monitoring the area of interest.
- The method detects predetermined activity by a predetermined object of interest within the area of interest based on the sensor data.
- The vehicle user is notified of the sensed activity using the sensor of the vehicle.
Potential Applications
- Security surveillance in parking lots or around infrastructure - Monitoring of restricted areas for unauthorized access
Problems Solved
- Enhanced surveillance capabilities without the need for physical presence - Quick detection and notification of suspicious activities
Benefits
- Improved security measures - Real-time monitoring and alerts - Efficient use of vehicle sensors for surveillance purposes
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for surveilling with a vehicle includes receiving an area-of-interest data from a vehicle user. The area-of-interest data delineates a virtual fence around the vehicle. The virtual fence is boundary of an area of interest around the vehicle. The vehicle is parked adjacent to an infrastructure. The method further includes receiving sensor data from a sensor of the vehicle that is monitoring the area of interest. Further, the method includes detecting a predetermined activity by a predetermined object of interest within the area of interest based on the sensor data received from the sensor of the vehicle. Also, the method includes notifying the vehicle user of the predetermined activity sensed using the sensor of the vehicle.
