Patent Images
1. A system for displaying an image corresponding to a field of view about a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a camera configured to be mounted on a vehicle and output a video signal indicative of a field of view about the vehicle;
a controller configured to receive the video signal, store the video signal in memory as stored images, and process the stored images to output a processed signal for display to a vehicle operator;
an operator input device coupled to the controller and configured to be actuated by the vehicle operator to provide an operator input signal to the controller; and
a display configured to receive the processed signal from the controller and display an image corresponding to the processed signal, wherein the processed signal output by the controller in response to the operator input signal corresponds to stored images from a time period prior to the controller receiving the operator input signal.

Abstract
A system, controller, and method for displaying an image corresponding to a field of view about a vehicle. The controller stores images from a camera, and outputs a processed signal to display to a vehicle operator stored images from a time period prior to the controller receiving an operator input signal. A vehicle equipped so will allow a vehicle operator actuate the operator input device in order to review images and thereby verify that another vehicle or a pedestrian has moved away from the vehicle.

7. A controller for a system for displaying an image corresponding to a field of view about a vehicle, said system comprising a camera configured to be mounted on a vehicle and output a video signal indicative of a field of view about the vehicle to the controller, an operator input device coupled to the controller and configured to be actuated by the vehicle operator to provide an operator input signal to the controller, and a display configured to receive a processed signal from the controller and display an image corresponding to the processed signal, said controller comprising:
-
a video signal input configured to receive the video signal; a memory configured to store the video signal as stored images; and a processor configured to process the stored images to output a processed signal for display to a vehicle operator, wherein the processed signal output by the controller in response to the operator input signal corresponds to stored images from a time period prior to the controller receiving the operator input signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for displaying an image corresponding to a field of view about a vehicle, said system comprising:
-
receiving a video signal from a camera configured to be mounted on a vehicle in a manner effective to observe a field of view about the vehicle; storing the video signal as stored images; detecting an input signal from an operator input device to replay a stored image; processing the stored images in response to the operator input signal to output a processed signal to a display that corresponds to stored images from a time period prior to the controller receiving the operator input signal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
