==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 18274671 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 abnormal road sections and transmit images of those sections 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 determined road sections from those captured by a camera on the vehicle.
* Transmission part: Sends the 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 maintenance.
3. Real-time monitoring capabilities.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Enhancing Road Safety Through Abnormality Detection Technology"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to vehicle-mounted cameras for road monitoring or abnormality detection systems in the transportation industry.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the system differentiate between different types of abnormalities on the road? ===
The patent application does not specify how the system distinguishes between various types of road abnormalities, such as potholes, cracks, or debris.

=== What measures are in place to ensure the privacy and security of the transmitted images? ===
The patent application does not detail the security protocols or encryption methods used to protect the images transmitted 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.
