Abstract

A dangerous vehicle warning method is disclosed. The dangerous vehicle warning method is utilized in a dangerous vehicle warning system including a vehicle electronic system and a cloud server. The dangerous vehicle warning system, disposed in a first vehicle, includes an image capturing module and a license number identifying module. The dangerous vehicle warning method includes the image capturing module capturing an image of an area surrounding the first vehicle; the license number identifying module identifying a license number information of a second vehicle in the area surrounding the first vehicle according to the image; comparing the license number information with a dangerous vehicle list stored in the cloud server and generating a comparing result; and generating a warning signal according to the comparing result.

Claims

1. A dangerous vehicle warning method, utilized in a dangerous vehicle warning system, the dangerous vehicle warning system comprising a vehicle electronic system and a cloud server, the dangerous vehicle warning system disposed on a first vehicle, the dangerous vehicle warning system comprising an image capturing module and a license number identifying module, the dangerous vehicle warning method comprising:

the image capturing module capturing an image of an area surrounding the first vehicle;

the license number identifying module identifying a license number information of a second vehicle in the area surrounding the first vehicle according to the image;

comparing the license number information with a dangerous vehicle list stored in the cloud server and generating a comparing result; and

generating a warning signal according to the comparing result.

2. The dangerous vehicle warning of claim 1, wherein the step of comparing the license number information with the dangerous vehicle list stored in the cloud server and generating the comparing result comprises:

the vehicle electronic system sending the license number information to the cloud server via a wireless network module;

the cloud server comparing the license number information with the dangerous vehicle list; and

the cloud server generating the comparing result.

3. The dangerous vehicle warning of claim 1, wherein the step of comparing the license number information with the dangerous vehicle list stored in the cloud server and generating the comparing result comprises:
