In-vehicle sensing module for monitoring a vehicle
An in-vehicle sensing module for monitoring a vehicle is disclosed, which is advantageous for use in the context of a shared vehicle service, such as a car rental service, an autonomous taxi service, or a ride sharing service. The in-vehicle sensing module at least includes a controller, a cellular transceiver, and one or more integrated sensors configured to monitor a status of the vehicle. The in-vehicle sensing module utilizes appropriate algorithms, models, or thresholds to interpret sensor data and enrich the data with metadata and event detection. The in-vehicle sensing module uploads relevant sensor data, event data, or other metadata to a cloud storage backend, which is made accessible by authorized third-parties.
DISPLAY APPARATUS AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME
A display apparatus includes: a first sub-pixel having a parallelogram shape including a first side extending in a first direction and a first width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a second sub-pixel having a parallelogram shape including a second side extending in the first direction and a second width in the second direction; a third sub-pixel having a parallelogram shape including a third side extending in the first direction and a third width in the second direction; and a plurality of light-blocking lines extending in the first direction and spaced apart from each other with a first distance in the second direction, wherein each of the first width, the second width, and the third width is an integer multiple of the first distance.
Moving body
A moving body includes: a detection unit configured to detect a peripheral situation of the moving body; a heating unit configured to be capable of heating a component of the moving body that is positioned in a detection range of the detection unit; a power receiving unit configured to receive power from an external power supply apparatus of the moving body; and a control unit configured to, when the power receiving unit receives power from the power supply apparatus, control the heating unit so as to be in an operation state.
Vehicle driver feedback device
The disclosure relates generally to an in-vehicle feedback system, and more particularly, to an in-vehicle device with a display or graphical interface that collects driving data and provides feedback based on the driving data. The system may comprise an in-vehicle device that includes a graphical user interface and a processor and a data collection device wirelessly connected to the in-vehicle device. The in-vehicle device may be configured to receive vehicle telematics data from the data collection device and the processor may process the telematics data in real time and cause the telematics data to be displayed on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include a speed display and an acceleration display.
Messaging display apparatus
A display apparatus configured to receive a command, and convert the command to displayable information to an outside pedestrian or drivers in other vehicles may include a main body that includes a securing portion to secure the display apparatus to a vehicle; a communication unit to receive the command; a processor to convert the command to displayable information; a display portion having a displaying layer to display information; and a power managing unit to store and provide electrical energy for the display apparatus. In one embodiment, the power managing unit may include a power generating unit to be positioned to overlap with the displaying layer.
CAMERA DEVICE
A camera device comprises: a bracket; a camera module coupled to the bracket to be rotatable about a first axis; a viewing angle adjustment member including a side coupled to the bracket and an opposite side coupled to the camera module; and a support member coupled to the bracket, wherein the side of the viewing angle adjustment member includes a hook portion arranged between the bracket and the support member.
VEHICULAR DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM USING FORWARD VIEWING CAMERA
A driving assistance system includes a front camera module (FCM). The system, responsive to processing captured image data from the FCM, generates FCM control signals. The system includes a plurality of vehicle sensors capturing sensor data and an advanced driving-assistance system (ADAS) controller. The ADAS controller, responsive to processing the sensor data, generates ADAS control signals. The ADAS controller generates an ADAS status signal indicating a reliability of the generated ADAS control signals. With the ADAS status signal indicating the reliability of the generated ADAS control signals is at or above a threshold ADAS reliability level, the system controls the vehicle using the ADAS control signal and, responsive to determining that the ADAS status signal indicates that the reliability of the generated ADAS control signals is below the threshold, switches from controlling the vehicle based on the ADAS control signals to controlling the vehicle based on the FCM control signals.
Imaging system and vehicle window used for the same
A camera lens attaching portion 30 is fitted into an opening provided in a vehicle window 20. A lens of a camera 40 is attached to a lens attaching surface 31a of the camera lens attaching portion 30. A surface opposed to the lens attaching surface 31a is a window surface 31b. The window surface 31b is an inclined surface different from a window surface 22 of the vehicle window 20. Furthermore, the window surface 31b may be an inclined surface same as the window surface 22 of the vehicle window 20. The camera 40 images outside of the vehicle through the camera lens attaching portion 30 with an angle of view set within the window surface 31b of the camera lens attaching portion 30. It is possible to prevent reflection of a reflected image generated on a vehicle inner side of the vehicle window.
Mounting Arrangement for a Sensor
A mounting arrangement for fastening a sensor element to a windscreen of a motor vehicle includes a main support, which has a receptacle for the sensor element. The sensor element has a cross-section in the shape of a segment of a circle. The receptacle of the main support has a clear receptacle opening which is likewise in the shape of a segment of a circle and the dimensions of which match the sensor element.
Glass Window Equipped with Bracket
A bracket (3) is formed in the shape of a rectangular cross-section tube, and has a first opening portion (4) joined to a vehicle cabin interior-side surface (1a) of a windshield (1). A second opening portion (5) is formed in a stair-like shape and is opened toward the vehicle interior side. Guide rails (24A, 24B) are provided at height positions along front-back-direction edges (5f, 5g), and hold plate members (6A, 6B) thereon. Electronic devices (18A, 18B, 18C) such as a camera are disposed in device housing spaces (14, 15, 16) partitioned by plate members (6A, 6B). Accordingly, it is possible to gather and arrange a plurality of electronic devices (18) in the bracket (3).
