Vehicle running-data recording device capable of recording moving tracks and environmental audio/video data
First Claim
1. A vehicle running-data recording device for recording moving tracks and environmental audio/video data, comprising:
- an input interface having multiple operational-activity signal input ports and receiving multiple operational-activity signals;
at least one communication interface connected to a vehicle-operational computer and a global positioning system and receiving multiple running-status signals from both the vehicle-operational computer and the global positioning system;
an audio/video processor receiving external audio signals and video signals, compressing/decompressing said audio signals and said video signals, and outputting digital audio signals and digital video signals, wherein said audio signals are input from an audio receiver, said audio receiver being a vehicle compartment pickup;
a primary processor, connected to said input interface, said communication interface, and said audio/video processor, said primary processor processing said running-status signals, said operational-activity signals, said digital audio signals, and said digital video signals, said primary processor actuating simultaneous recording of said running-status, operational-activity, digital audio, and digital video signals collected in time-coordinated manner during vehicle operation thereby generating the moving tracks and environmental audio/video data;
at least one memory, connected to said primary processor for storage, and having multiple data-storage sections including at least one temporary storage section and at least general and abnormality storage sections coupled thereto for the segregated storage of data from said temporary storage section therein based on a criticality determined for the data;
a data-transfer interface, transferring the data to a device external to the vehicle running-data recording device; and
,an operational panel coupled to said primary processor, said primary processor configured to control said operational panel for in situ playback of the moving tracks and environmental audio/video data onboard the vehicle.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a vehicle running-data recording device capable of recording moving tracks and environmental audio/video data, wherein a primary processor processes the received vehicle operational-activity signals and audio/video signals to obtain images with the acquired data embedded thereon in the form of numbers, texts, symbols, or diagrams. In cooperation with a global positioning system, the present invention can plot a moving-track diagram. The primary processor records the vehicle running status and then converts it into files and stores it in a memory. When the user plays the files afterward, he can obtain audio, video, operational-activity, and running-status information simultaneously. The connected external computer can use softwares to plot a time-coordinate vehicle running-information diagram and a space-coordinate moving-track diagram. Accordingly, the present invention provides a vehicle running-data recording device, which can record vehicle running information and can present it in situ, in order to implement the clarification of the accident liability and protect the rights and interests of the driver.
