IN-VEHICLE CAMERA AND ALERT SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A system for a vehicle comprising:
- an object detection system associated with a vehicle, wherein the object detection system is configured to detect a presence of an object near the vehicle when the vehicle is not started; and
a control system communicatively coupled to the object detection system, wherein the control system is configured to determine an initial state of an area near the vehicle using the object detection system and to activate a response if the object detection system detects the presence of an object near the vehicle based, at least in part, on the determined initial state.

Abstract
A vehicle may include an object detection system and a control system. The object detection system may be configured to detect a presence of an object near the vehicle. In some implementations, the object detection system may include a sensor module and/or a camera system. The control system may be communicatively coupled to the object detection system and may be configured to determine an initial state of an area near the vehicle using the object detection system. The control system may be configured to activate a response if the object detection system detects the presence of an object near the vehicle based, at least in part, on the determined initial state. In some implementations, the response may include an activation of the camera system.

12. A method for activating a response based on a detection of an object near a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining, using a control system of a vehicle, a first state of an area near the vehicle at a first time using an object detection system; determining, using the control system of the vehicle, a second state of the area near the vehicle at a second time using the object detection system, wherein the second time is after the first time; determining, using the control system of the vehicle, a difference between the second state and the first state; and activating, using the control system of the vehicle, a response based, at least in part, on the determined difference. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for a vehicle comprising:
-
an object detection system associated with a vehicle, the object detection system comprising; a sensor module configured to detect a presence of an object near the vehicle, and a camera system; and a control system communicatively coupled to the sensor module and the camera system, wherein the control system is configured to determine an initial state of an area near the vehicle using the sensor module and to activate the camera system if the sensor module detects the presence of an object near the vehicle based, at least in part, on the determined initial state. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
