  • Publication number: 20170201756
    Abstract: A video encoding method includes steps of: determining how many cores of one or more processors are capable of processing video frames; identifying a number of parallel processable frames according to types of video frames; and determining when the determination is that the number of the parallel processable frames is greater than or equal to the number of the cores of the processors which can process the video frames, frame level parallel decoding the parallel processable frames and, when the determination is that the number of the parallel processable frames is less than the number of cores of the processors, which can process video frames, retaining one parallel processable frame to be parallel decoded at a macroblock level, and the other parallel processable frames to be parallel decoded at a frame level.

  • Publication number: 20130135472
    Abstract: An intelligent driving recording and inspection system is introduced for recording a car's driving process and for a user to review the driving process in an intelligent manner. The system includes an image-capture unit for capturing image signals in the driving process; a sensing unit for generating event signals corresponding to all events encountered in the driving process, such as lane departure, close distance from a preceding car, changes in gravity sensing, and abnormalities shown in inside-car driving data; a processing unit for linking the event signals with and marking the same on corresponding image signals; a memory unit for storing the image signals and the event signals; and a inspection unit for a user to review the stored image signals marked with the event signals. Therefore, any event occurred in the driving process can be easily analyzed by reviewing the image signals having corresponding event signal marked thereon.

  • Publication number: 20130135092
    Abstract: A driving behavior analysis and warning system is adapted to detect the driving behavior of a driver driving an automobile and to provide a warning signal corresponding to the driving behavior. The analysis and warning system receives drive information captured by an external and/or an internal drive system via an information collection unit, and analysis module integrated with a algorithm is then used to analyze the drive information to produce drive safety signals, enabling the driver to determine whether driver driving behavior is normal or not through an output unit, so as to prevent injury caused by dangerous driving. Moreover, this invention also provides a method for analyzing and warning driving behavior.

  • Patent number: 8275173
    Abstract: A parking assistance system (PAS) comprising an image capture device, a display device and an image analysis device is provided, wherein the image capture device captures a rear parking image of a car and the image analysis device analyses the parking image to determine an initial line, two side lines and an auxiliary line in the parking image. The image analysis device determines a first reference point according to a specific position on the car, a second reference point according to an interval of the initial line between the two side lines, a third reference point according to an interval of the auxiliary line between the two side lines and a recommended parking path according to these reference points, and transmits the parking image and the recommended parking path to the display device, such that the parking image and the recommended parking path are superimposed to be displayed on the display.

  • Publication number: 20110307144
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for transmitting and receiving vehicle information, in which a wireless transmitting and receiving unit and a vehicle computer recording a first information is disposed in the vehicle, and a processing computer is disposed in a vehicle station. When the vehicle enters the vehicle station, the vehicle wirelessly transmits the first information to the processing computer according to a request signal. After that, the processing computer wirelessly transmits a second information to the vehicle computer at a specific time point. By means of the method and system of the present invention, it is capable of exchanging information between the vehicle and vehicle station in a wireless transmitting and receiving way so as to save the waiting time for maintenance and management.

  • Publication number: 20100324814
    Abstract: The present invention relates a GPS tracking system, comprising a tracking and positioning device, a server, a positioning display unit, and a database. Since the tracking and positioning device only sends an Internet protocol (IP) data and a verification data once when it is connected to the Internet, and sends a positioning data only when a position of the tracking and positioning device is to be shown on the positioning display unit, the bandwidth can be saved.
