DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLY IN A VIDEO RECORDINGG DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519874 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLY IN A VIDEO RECORDINGG DEVICE
The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a battery unit with a main battery for supplying power to a vehicle and a starting battery for powering a video recording device. A smart battery sensor monitors the state of the starting battery, specifically the State of Charge (SOC), while the vehicle is parked and requests to charge the starting battery when the SOC drops to a predetermined level. The power distribution device receives information from the smart battery sensor and controls whether to charge the starting battery when the vehicle is turned off. The video recording device calculates the recordable time based on the SOC of the starting battery, sets a recording timer, and records the surroundings of the vehicle using power from the starting battery while the vehicle is parked.
- The apparatus includes a battery unit with a main battery and a starting battery.
- A smart battery sensor monitors the SOC of the starting battery while the vehicle is parked.
- The sensor requests to charge the starting battery when the SOC is reduced to a predetermined level.
- A power distribution device controls the charging of the starting battery when the vehicle is turned off.
- The video recording device calculates recordable time based on the starting battery's SOC and records the surroundings of the vehicle while parked.
Potential Applications: - Vehicle surveillance systems - Security cameras for parked vehicles - Fleet management systems
Problems Solved: - Ensuring continuous power supply for video recording devices in parked vehicles - Preventing battery depletion in the starting battery while the vehicle is parked
Benefits: - Enhanced security and surveillance capabilities for parked vehicles - Extended recording time for video footage - Improved battery management for vehicle electronics
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Battery Management System for Vehicle Video Recording Devices" This technology can be utilized in parking lot surveillance systems, vehicle security cameras, and fleet management solutions to enhance monitoring and recording capabilities.
Prior Art: Research existing patents related to smart battery management systems for vehicles and video recording devices to understand the current state of the technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in battery management systems for vehicles and video recording devices to incorporate the latest innovations into the apparatus.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the smart battery sensor communicate with the power distribution device? 2. What measures are in place to prevent overcharging of the starting battery?
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus includes a battery unit including a main battery for supplying driving power to a vehicle and a starting battery for supplying power to the video recording device, a smart battery sensor for transmitting state information of the battery to a power distribution device while monitoring a change in an SOC of the starting battery while the vehicle is parked, and requesting to charge the starting battery when the SOC is reduced to a predetermined SOC or less, the power distribution device for transmitting the state information of the battery to the video recording device and controlling whether to charge the starting battery when the vehicle is turned off, and the video recording device for calculating a recordable time capable of recording with the SOC of the starting battery, setting a recording timer, and recording surroundings of the vehicle using the power supplied from the starting battery while the vehicle is parked.
