ON-VEHICLE APPARATUS, ROAD SURFACE IMAGE TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092366 titled 'ON-VEHICLE APPARATUS, ROAD SURFACE IMAGE TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an on-vehicle apparatus that can detect road abnormalities and transmit images of the affected road section to a server for further analysis.
- Abnormal section determination part: Determines road sections with abnormalities based on sensor output.
- Image selection part: Selects images of the identified road sections from a camera mounted on the vehicle.
- Transmission part: Transmits selected images to a server for analysis.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various industries such as transportation, infrastructure maintenance, and road safety monitoring.
Problems Solved
1. Early detection of road abnormalities. 2. Efficient data collection for road maintenance.
Benefits
1. Improved road safety. 2. Cost-effective road maintenance. 3. Real-time monitoring of road conditions.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Road Monitoring System for Enhanced Safety and Maintenance"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems for road monitoring and maintenance, but the specific combination of sensor data analysis, image selection, and transmission to a server may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between different types of road abnormalities?
The abstract does not specify how the apparatus distinguishes between various types of road abnormalities, such as potholes, cracks, or debris.
What measures are in place to ensure the security and privacy of the transmitted images?
The abstract does not mention any security protocols or privacy measures for the transmission of images to the server.
Original Abstract Submitted
an on-vehicle apparatus includes an abnormal section determination part that determines a road section having a road surface on which an abnormality is probably present, based on an output value of a sensor mounted on a vehicle, an image selection part that selects an image(s) including the determined road section from a plurality of images shot at predetermined time intervals by a camera mounted on the vehicle, and a transmission part that is able to transmit the selected image(s) to a predetermined server.
