Apparatus for a vehicle for protection of a colliding object
First Claim
1. An apparatus for a vehicle for protection of a colliding object comprising:
- one of a collision prediction module which delivers a precautionary signal when the collision prediction module predicts a collision of the vehicle with the object and an collision detection module which delivers a collision signal when the collision detection module detects the collision;
an air bag which deploys on either a hood of the vehicle or an outside of a windshield thereof when the collision is either predicted by the collision prediction module or detected by the collision detection module;
a camera for taking a forward image of the vehicle; and
a monitor disposed in a cabin of the vehicle, wherein the monitor displays the image taken by the camera when the monitor receives one of the precautionary signal and the collision signal.

Abstract
An apparatus for a vehicle for protection of a colliding object is provided, which includes one of a collision prediction module that delivers a precautionary signal when the collision prediction module predicts a collision of the vehicle with the object and a collision detection module that delivers a collision signal when the collision detection module detects the collision, an air bag which deploys on either a hood of the vehicle or an outside of its windshield when the collision is either predicted by the collision prediction module or detected by the collision detection module, a camera for taking a forward image of the vehicle and a monitor disposed in a cabin of the vehicle. In the apparatus, the monitor displays the image taken by the camera when the monitor receives one of the precautionary signal and the collision signal.

7. An apparatus for a vehicle for protection of a colliding object comprising:
-
one of a collision prediction module which delivers a precautionary signal when the collision prediction module predicts a collision of the vehicle with the object and an collision detection module which delivers a collision signal when the collision detection module detects the collision;
an air bag which deploys on an outside of a windshield of the vehicle when the collision is either predicted by the collision prediction module or detected by the collision detection module;
a hood skin which the deployed air bag elevates so that the hood skin can perform the protection of the colliding object in collaboration with the air bag;
a camera for taking a forward image of the vehicle; and
a monitor disposed in a cabin of the vehicle, wherein the monitor displays the image taken by the camera when the monitor receives one of the precautionary signal and the collision signal.
