Server determined bandwidth saving in transmission of events
View Patent ↗A system for receiving a driving event comprises an interface and a processor. An interface is configured to receive a portion of data regarding a driving event. A processor is configured to determine whether more data regarding the driving event should be requested and, in the event that more data regarding the driving event should be requested, request more data regarding the driving event.
1. A system for receiving a driving event, comprising:
an interface configured to receive a portion of data regarding a driving event from a vehicle event recorder attached to a vehicle; and
a processor configured to:
determine whether more data regarding the driving event should be requested from the vehicle event recorder, wherein the determination that more data should be requested is based at least in part on a set of exceptions in an exception database, wherein the set of exceptions comprise one or more of the following: location-specific legal information exceptions, customer-specific event exceptions, or customer-specific region exceptions; and
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should be requested, request more data from the vehicle event recorder regarding the driving event; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
2. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should not be requested:
indicate that the data regarding the driving event is to be deleted.
3. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should not be requested:
indicate that the data regarding the driving event is to be soft deleted.
4. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should not be requested:
indicate that the data regarding the driving event is to be marked as not transmitted.
5. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should not be requested:
indicate that the data regarding the driving event is to be marked as deleted.
6. A system as in claim 1 , wherein customer-specific event exceptions comprises driving event trigger exceptions defined by a specific customer of the vehicle event recorder.
7. A system as in claim 1 , wherein customer-specific event exceptions comprises driving event triggers defined by a customer of the vehicle event recorder that more data should not be requested.
8. A system as in claim 1 , wherein customer-specific region exceptions comprises regions where a specific customer of the vehicle event recorder has defined that more data should not be requested.
9. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the data regarding the driving event includes video information or still picture information.
10. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a current segment.
11. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine subsegment information.
12. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should be requested, mark that the driving event has been checked against the exception database.
13. A system as in claim 12 , wherein the driving event is marked with an indication of a version or date of the exception database.
14. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the data regarding the driving event includes an indication of a version or date of the exception database.
15. A system as in claim 1 , wherein non-transmitting criteria used by the processor for determining whether more data regarding the driving event should be requested comprises the set of exceptions.
16. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the location specific legal exceptions comprise one or more of the following: a speed limit error, a stop sign error, a parking zone error, or a railroad crossing error.
17. A method for receiving a driving event, comprising:
receiving a portion of data regarding a driving event from a vehicle event recorder attached to a vehicle;
determining, using a processor, whether more data regarding the driving event should be requested from the vehicle event recorder, wherein the determination that more data should be requested is based at least in part on a set of exceptions in an exception database, wherein the set of exceptions comprise one or more of the following: location-specific legal information exceptions, customer-specific event exceptions, or customer-specific region exceptions; and
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should be requested, requesting more data from the vehicle event recorder regarding the driving event.
18. A computer program product for receiving a driving event, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving a portion of data regarding a driving event from a vehicle event recorder attached to a vehicle;
determining whether more data regarding the driving event should be requested from the vehicle event recorder, wherein the determination that more data should be requested is based at least in part on a set of exceptions in an exception database, wherein the set of exceptions comprise one or more of the following: location-specific legal information exceptions, customer-specific event exceptions, or customer-specific region exceptions; and
in the event that more data regarding the driving event should be requested, requesting more data from the vehicle event recorder regarding the driving event.
