Abstract
A system includes an outward facing video camera, a digital video recorder, a geolocation device, an interface, and a processor. The interface is configured to receive video data from the outward facing vehicle camera and receive location data from the geolocation device. The processor is configured to determine a digital video recorder storing state; disable transfer of video data to the digital video recorder in response to the digital video recorder storing state being a prohibited state; and enable transfer of the video data from the outward facing video camera to the digital video recorder for storage in response to the digital video recorder storing state being not the prohibited state.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- an outward facing video camera;
- a digital video recorder;
- a geolocation device;
- an interface configured to:
- receive video data from the outward facing vehicle camera;
- provide a map to a user interface display, wherein the map includes at least one region, the at least one region including a set of rules;
- and
- receive location data from the geolocation device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a digital video recorder storing state, comprising to:
- determine a region based on the location data;
- and
- perform one or more of the following:
- determine the digital video recorder storing state based on the more strict rule of either a small nested region or a larger region;
- determine the digital video recorder storing state based on the less strict rule of either the small nested region or the larger region;
- determine the digital video recorder storing state based on a rule of the larger region superseding a rule of the small nested region;
- and/or
- determine the digital video recorder storing state based on the rule of the small nested region superseding the rule of the larger region;
- in response to the digital video recorder storing state being a prohibited state, disable transfer of video data to the digital video recorder;
- and
- in response to the digital video recorder storing state being not the prohibited state, enable transfer of the video data from the outward facing video camera to the digital video recorder for storage.
A method comprising:
- receiving video data from an outward facing vehicle camera;
- providing a map to a user interface display, wherein the map includes at least one region, the at least one region including a set of rules;
- receiving location data from a geolocation device;
- determining, using a processor, a digital video recorder storing state, comprising:
- determining a region based on the location data;
- and
- performing one or more of the following:
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the more strict rule of either a small nested region or a larger region;
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the less strict rule of either the small nested region or the larger region;
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on a rule of the larger region superseding a rule of the small nested region;
- and/or
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the rule of the small nested region superseding the rule of the larger region;
- in response to the digital video recorder storing state being a prohibited state, disabling transfer of video data to the digital video recorder;
- and
- in response to the digital video recorder storing state being not the prohibited state, enabling transfer of the video data from the outward facing video camera to the digital video recorder for storage.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving video data from an outward facing vehicle camera;
- providing a map to a user interface display, wherein the map includes at least one region, the at least one region including a set of rules;
- receiving location data from a geolocation device;
- determining a digital video recorder storing state, comprising:
- determining a region based on the location data;
- and
- performing one or more of the following:
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the more strict rule of either a small nested region or a larger region;
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the less strict rule of either the small nested region or the larger region;
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on a rule of the larger region superseding a rule of the small nested region;
- and/or
- determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the rule of the small nested region superseding the rule of the larger region;
- in response to the digital video recorder storing state being a prohibited state, disabling transfer of video data to the digital video recorder;
- and
- in response to the digital video recorder storing state being not the prohibited state, enabling transfer of the video data from the outward facing video camera to the digital video recorder for storage.
