Hence, this invention can be applied broadly in other embodiments, except those have already been mentioned in this specification.

(8) As shown in FIG. 1, the block diagram showing the basic structure and the application of the system for sharing real-time recording 100. In this embodiment, the system 100 includes a traffic recording device 102, a hand-held communication device 112 and a cloud server 124, wherein the traffic recording device 102 includes an image capture device 104, a first processing device 106, a first wireless transmission module 108; the hand-held communication device 112 comprises a second processing device 114, a second wireless transmission module 116, a third wireless transmission module 118, a real-time sharing image module 120 and a first image memory 122, and; the cloud server 124 comprises a third processing device 126, a communication interface 128, an image conversion module 130 and a first image database 132. With the system disclosed here, one can automatically transmit the traffic image from the traffic recording device capable of wireless transmission to the hand-held communication device with the wireless transmission modules (e.g., at least one of Wi-Fi and RF module). Afterwards, the hand-held communication device automatically uploads the traffic image to the cloud server 124, making the traffic image accessible for general users at once.

(9) Furthermore, this invention can store identifiable data for identifying the user, for example, phone number, I.D. number, member account. Also, the hand-held communication device can automatically update the traffic image in the first image memory with its real-time sharing image module.

(10) Please refer to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the traffic recording device 102 further includes a button 110. When the button 110 is pressed, the first processing device 106, coupling with the image capture device 104, can capture the traffic image for a short period and store it at the first image memory 112. The first wireless transmission module (e.g., at least one of Wi-Fi module and RF module) 108 setup connections among the second 116 and the third wireless transmission modules 108 coupling with the second processing device 114 in the hand-held communication device 112, then the hand-held communication device 112 is able to receive the traffic image sent from the first wireless transmission module 108. When the traffic image arrives at the hand-held communication device 112 and is processed by the second processing device 114, the traffic image is stored at the first image memory 122 coupling with the second processing device 114. In one another embodiment, the e-mail address or the SMS account of the receiver in the traffic recording device or the hand-held communication device 112 can be set in advance. When the traffic image is recorded, the traffic image can be transmitted as an e-mail or a SMS message to their receiver by the traffic recording device 102 or the hand-held communication device 112.

(11) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, one application of the system disclosed here is that the traffic image in the traffic recording device 102 can be continually transmitted by the real-time sharing image module 120 of the hand-held communication device 112 after the connection among the first wireless transmission module 108, the second 114 and the third wireless transmission module 118 coupling with the second processing unit 114 of the hand-held communication device 112 is set. During the transmission, the real-time sharing image module 120 can further compare the image input into the hand-held communication device 112 with the original image in the device 112 to see if duplication exists. If no duplication exists, the transmission of the traffic image will continue immediately to the hand-held communication device 112. Moreover, when the hand-held communication device 112 is linked to the traffic recording device 102, the GPS record of the image is automatically retrieved for locating.

(12) Next, referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, when the connection between the communication interface 128 of the cloud server 124 and one of the second 116 or the third wireless transmission module 118 is set, the real-time sharing image module 120 of the hand-held communication device 112 will be automatically activated to automatically transmit the traffic image from the hand-held communication device 112 to the cloud server 124. The traffic image will be stored at the first image database 132 after its format is changed by the image conversion module 130 coupling with the third processing device 126.

(13) As mentioned above, in one embodiment, before the user is about to use this system, it is required only to register his/her account to complete the login. After completing the login, the user becomes the member, authorized to automatically upload the traffic image to the cloud server permanently by this system. Moreover, when the user request the cloud server 124 to provide the specific image content (e.g., the traffic condition of certain places at certain time), the cloud server 124 can retrieve the demanded traffic image from the first image database 132 then modify the image with the image processing module 134. Afterwards, the modified image will be stored back to the first image database and be sent to the requester.

(14) Referring to FIG. 4, in correspondence with the above system for sharing real-time recording, the method for sharing real-time recording will be disclosed with Step 201 to 203.

(15) As described in Step 201, the first wireless transmission module of the traffic recording device is linked to one of the second or the third wireless transmission module of the hand-held communication device. When the real-time sharing image module of the hand-held communication device detects the established connection, the traffic image in the traffic recording device will be automatically downloaded to the hand-held communication device. The real-time sharing image module in Step 201 can further compare the traffic image input into the hand-held communication device with the original image in the traffic recording device to see if duplication exists.

(16) As described in Step 202, after the hand-held communication device retrieves the traffic image, the real-time sharing image module will be automatically activated and receive the traffic image from the traffic recording device. The traffic image will be processed by the second processing device then be stored at the first image memory.

(17) As shown in Step 203, the connection between the communication interface of the cloud server and one of the second or the third wireless transmission module is set. If the real-time sharing image module detects the connection, the traffic image will be automatically uploaded to the first image database of the cloud server immediately. In a better embodiment, the cloud server further includes a warning module. User can call the police with the specific traffic image (e.g., traffic accident). In one embodiment, the traffic image of the first image database can be utilized for 3D image positioning.

(18) As mentioned above, this system can be applied for cloud application of traffic record and sharing with certain community. In a better embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, after the user initiates the traffic recording device (e.g., VEDR) 102, when a connection between the first wireless transmission module 108 of the traffic recording device 102 and one of the second 116 or the third 118 wireless transmission device of the hand-held communication device 112 owned by the user is set and the real-time sharing image module 120 detects the connection, the traffic image will be automatically downloaded from the traffic recording device 102 to the hand-held communication device 112. However, when the connection between the traffic recording device 102 and the hand-held communication device 112 is broken, one of the second 116 or the third wireless transmission module 118 will be automatically linked online to the communication interface 128 of the cloud server 124 and the traffic image will be sent to the cloud server 124 and be stored at the first image database 132. The cloud server further includes an image processing module 134, wherein a specific image of the first image database 132 is modified by the image processing module 134, then the specific image after the modification will be stored back to the first image database 132. In one another embodiment, the traffic image in the first image database 132 can be utilized with a load balance 136 to enhance the accessibility and the expandability of the application and be applied with the management program at user terminal to set the e-board and page direction.
