Mirrorless Driving of Automotive Vehicle Using Digital Image Sensors and Touchscreen
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An in-vehicle system for implementing mirrorless driving of an automotive vehicle, comprising steps of arranging one or more mounting positions respectively of:
- a plurality of digital camera lenses or digital image sensors on a vehicular body;
a haptic touchscreen coupled to the system, the haptic screen enabling a plurality of split windows and popup windows to replace automotive side mirrors and rear-view mirrors;
and a plurality of lens balls, the spherical architecture of digital camera lenses, on a driver'"'"'s side and a passenger'"'"'s side on said vehicular body.

Abstract
Automotive mirrors may be replaced by a multi-lens-equipped touchscreen to enable mirrorless driving that may help open a new avenue for identifying energy-saving and environment-friendly solutions to enhance driving safety by harnessing vehicle traffic to incentivize a mixed reality. The mirrorless driving may eventually encompass not just vehicular black boxes and rearview backup cameras but also ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System).

7. A method for incentivizing a driver'"'"'s voluntary compliance with traffic regulations, comprising steps of:
-
generating a periodical self-evaluation report on said driver'"'"'s own accumulative driving behaviors by recording data events from a plurality of on-vehicle digital camera lenses or digital image sensors, and a haptic touchscreen coupled to said sensors; optionalizing said report to be used as either a self-review or a supporting evidence to quantify eligibility for short-term or long-term rewards from regulatory agencies and insurers; enabling snapshots or video clips of a close-by vehicle or more engaged in a wrongful act of driving unintentionally captured on said driver'"'"'s haptic touchscreen, with an option of submitting said snapshots or video clips as third-party evidence to regulatory agencies or insurers; and synchronizing a multitude of application software associated with ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance System) to be integrated so as to achieve incentivizing objectives. - View Dependent Claims (8)
