CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM DISPOSED ON A PANEL OF A VEHICLE BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18204792 titled 'CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM DISPOSED ON A PANEL OF A VEHICLE BODY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a camera monitoring system (CMS) installed on a vehicle body. The system includes a housing, a movable housing, a CMS camera, a motor part, a transparent part, and a controller.

  • The housing is fixed on the vehicle body.
  • The movable housing can move along the fixed housing.
  • A CMS camera is placed on one end of the movable housing.
  • The motor part provides the driving force to move the movable housing.
  • A transparent part is located on the housing, facing the CMS camera when the movable housing is retracted.
  • The controller controls the motor part's movement and the on/off function of the CMS camera.

Potential Applications

  • Vehicle surveillance and security systems.
  • Rearview or side-view cameras for improved visibility while driving.
  • Parking assistance systems.
  • Integration with autonomous driving technologies.

Problems Solved

  • Enhances vehicle safety by providing real-time monitoring and recording of surroundings.
  • Improves driver visibility, reducing blind spots and potential accidents.
  • Assists in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
  • Enables integration with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies.

Benefits

  • Increased safety and security for vehicle occupants and pedestrians.
  • Improved visibility and awareness for drivers, reducing the risk of accidents.
  • Simplified parking and maneuvering in challenging environments.
  • Potential for integration with future autonomous driving technologies.


Original Abstract Submitted

A camera monitoring system (CMS) disposed on a panel of a vehicle body. A housing is disposed on a vehicle body. A movable housing is movable along the housing. A CMS camera is disposed on one end of the movable housing. A motor part provides driving force by which the movable housing moves along the housing. A transparent part is disposed on the housing and is located in an area facing the CMS camera when the movable housing is retracted into the housing. A controller controls a driving amount of the motor part and controls turning on/off of the CMS camera.
