Abstract
An apparatus for recording an image of a vehicle includes: a processor that determines whether an impact of a reference value or more applied to the vehicle is caused by an accident, by using a signal of an in-vehicle communication network, and performs control to not record a vehicle image for a predetermined exception handling time, when the processor determines that the impact is not caused by the accident; and a storage controlled by the processor to record the vehicle image.
Claims7
An apparatus for recording an image of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine whether an impact of a reference value or more applied to the vehicle is caused by an accident, by using a signal of an in-vehicle communication network, and
- perform control to not record a vehicle image for a predetermined exception handling time, when the processor determines that the impact is not caused by the accident;
- and
- a storage controlled by the processor to record the vehicle image,
- wherein the processor sets the predetermined exception handling time in advance by setting, as a margin, a maximum time during which an aftershock occurs after the impact,
- wherein the processor monitors a transition of a communication signal related to opening or closing of at least one of door, trunk, hood, or tailgate of the vehicle within the in-vehicle communication network for a predetermined period of monitoring time after the impact, and
- wherein the processor sets a sum of a maximum transition period of the communication signal and a maximum latency of the communication signal as the predetermined period of monitoring time in advance.

A vehicle system comprising:
- a sensing device configured to sense an impulse of a vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle image recording apparatus configured to:
- determine whether an impact is caused by an accident, by using a signal of an in-vehicle communication network, when the impulse received from the sensing device is greater than or equal to a reference value,
- perform control to not record a vehicle image for a predetermined exception handling time when the vehicle image recording, apparatus determines that the impact is not caused by the accident,
- set the predetermined exception handling time in advance by setting, as a margin, a maximum time during which an aftershock occurs after the impact,
- monitor a transition of a communication signal related to opening or closing of at least one of door, trunk, hood, or tailgate of the vehicle within the in-vehicle communication network for a predetermined period of monitoring time after the occurrence of the impact, and
- set a sum of a maximum transition period of the communication signal and a maximum latency of the communication signal as the predetermined period of monitoring time in advance.
5 more elements
A method for recording an image of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether an impact of a reference value or more is applied to the vehicle;
- determining whether the impact is caused by an accident, by using a signal of an in-vehicle communication network when it is determined that the impact of the reference value or more is applied to the vehicle;
- performing control to not record a vehicle image for a predetermined exception handling time when it is determined that the impact is not caused by the accident, wherein the performing control includes setting the predetermined exception handling time in advance by setting, as a margin, a maximum time during which an aftershock occurs after the impact,
- monitoring a transition of a communication signal related to opening or closing of at least one of door, trunk, hood, or tailgate of the vehicle within the in-vehicle communication network for a predetermined period of monitoring time after the occurrence of the impact;
- and
- setting a sum of a maximum transition period of the communication signal and a maximum latency of the communication signal as the predetermined period of monitoring time in advance.
