CAPTURING VIDEO DATA OF EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806888 titled 'CAPTURING VIDEO DATA OF EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device that can receive sensor data from a vehicle's sensor.
- The device can determine if an event that could damage the vehicle has occurred or is likely to occur based on the sensor data exceeding a certain threshold.
- The threshold is determined by the vehicle's on-off status and the type of sensor being used.
- If the event is detected, the device can activate the vehicle's camera to capture video of the scene.
- The device can then send an indication of the event and the captured video data to a server.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some implementations, a device may receive, from a sensor of a vehicle, sensor data. The device may detect whether an event causing damage to the vehicle has occurred or is expected to occur based on the sensor data being greater than a threshold, wherein the threshold is based on an on-off status of the vehicle and a sensor type. The device may activate, based on whether the event has occurred or is expected to occur, a camera of the vehicle to capture video data of a scene associated with the vehicle. The device may transmit, to a server, an indication that indicates the event and the video data.
