  • Patent number: 11302125
    Abstract: A method for transmitting event data from an event detection and reporting system in a vehicle to a backend server includes storing full resolution sensor data in a vehicle buffer memory and subsampling the full resolution sensor data to produce reduced resolution of the sensor data. A vehicle event is detected based on an analysis of the reduced resolution sensor data, and the vehicle event is classified based on the reduced resolution sensor data. A determination is made as to whether the vehicle event is classified as a particular type of event with a minimum degree of confidence. The method then includes transmitting an indication that the vehicle event has not been classified with the minimum degree of confidence when the vehicle event has not been classified with the minimum degree of confidence, and transmitting reduced resolution sensor data for the detected vehicle event when the vehicle event is classified with at least the minimum degree of confidence.

  • Publication number: 20200177835
    Abstract: A method for providing event data from cross-referenced data memories of an on-vehicle event detection and reporting system includes cross-referencing event data stored in an event buffer with continuous video data stored in a continuous DVR memory. A request for additional data corresponding to a detected driving or vehicle event may be received by the on-vehicle system, where the request includes an event identifier corresponding to a detected driving or vehicle event. The requested additional data is identified in the DVR memory using the event identifier and based on said cross-referencing between the event data with the continuous video data stored in the DVR memory. The identified additional data is then transmitted from the DVR memory for display on a user computer.
