Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1, a vehicle 100 has the following exterior structure.

A windshield 112 is provided on the front upper side of the vehicle body 110 to protect passengers from the wind while providing a front view to the occupants in the vehicle 100. The exterior mirror 114 provides the occupant with a side view and a rear view of the vehicle 100. The exterior mirror 114 may be disposed on each side of the left and right doors 190.

The doors 190 and 194 are rotatably provided at the left and right sides of the body 110. When the doors 190 and 194 are open, an occupant may enter or exit the vehicle 100. When the doors 190 and 194 are closed, the interior of the vehicle 100 may be isolated from the exterior. The doors 190 and 194 may be divided into a driver seat door 190 and a rear seat door 194.

The antenna 152 is provided to receive a broadcasting/communication signal for telematics, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), digital television, Global Positioning System (GPS), etc., and the antenna 152 may be a multifunctional antenna for receiving various types of broadcasting/communication signals or a single-function antenna for receiving a single type of broadcasting/communication signals.

The front wheels 122 and the rear wheels 124 are located on the front and rear sides of the vehicle 100 so as to be rotated by power received from an engine (not shown).

A resistive film 172 as a damage detection film is mounted on each portion of the outer surface of the vehicle 100 to check for damage of the corresponding portion. Here, the "surface" refers to a plane forming the appearance of the vehicle 100. For example, the resistive film 172 is attached to the surface of an engine compartment cover, front and rear fenders, a roof, a door, or the like, and damage to the corresponding portion is checked by the resistive film 172.

Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a control system of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The controller 202 may be an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that controls all or part of the operation of the vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

A plurality of detectors 204 are connected to the input side of the controller 202 for communication. A predetermined number of detectors 204 corresponding to the number of the resistive films 172 may be provided so that the detectors 204 correspond to the resistive films 172, respectively. Alternatively, a predetermined number of detectors 204 less than the number of resistive films 172 may be provided, such that a single detector 204 corresponds to a plurality of resistive films 172. The detector 204 is provided to detect the resistance value of the resistive film 172.

The resistance value detected by the detector 204 is supplied to the controller 202. The controller 202 receives the resistance value of the resistive film 172 from the detector 204 and determines that the vehicle 100 is damaged based on a change in the resistance value of the resistive film 172.

The controller 202 may generate vehicle damage information and output the generated vehicle damage information through a display 208 provided inside the vehicle 100. A user of vehicle 100 may identify that damage has occurred to the surface of vehicle 100 by vehicle damage information output on display 208. The display 208 may be a screen of a navigation system or a meter (cluster) provided in the vehicle 100.

Additionally, the controller 202 may generate vehicle damage information and transmit the generated vehicle damage information to a car sharing service provider 212 located at a remote site through the communicator 210 of the vehicle 100. The automobile sharing service provider 212 may recognize that the vehicle 100 has been damaged based on the vehicle damage information transmitted from the vehicle 100. The auto share service provider 212 may perform a user indemnity process in which the user assumes indemnity responsibility for the damage based on the vehicle damage information when the user returns the vehicle 100.

In addition, the controller 202 may activate the camera 214 provided in the vehicle 100 while generating the vehicle damage information. That is, when it is determined that the surface of the vehicle 100 has been damaged based on the change in the resistance value of the resistive film 172, the controller 202 immediately activates the camera 214 to acquire an image of the environment around the vehicle 100 and record the image. The image data may be used in the future as a material for identifying the cause of damage or the subject of damage liability. An image recording apparatus for a vehicle, a so-called "black box", records an image in response to an impact applied to the vehicle. However, generally, unless sufficient impact is applied to the vehicle, the image recording apparatus does not operate. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, not only the damage to which no impact is applied but also the damage to which the impact is applied can be recognized by the change of the resistance value of the resistive film 172, and the camera 214 is immediately activated, thereby imaging and recording the surroundings of the vehicle. The camera 214 may be a black box or an imaging device provided in the vehicle 100 to improve driving safety or driving convenience of the vehicle 100.

When generating the vehicle damage information, the controller 202 may store the generated vehicle damage information in the memory 214.

Fig. 3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating a structure of a resistive film according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the resistive film 172. Fig. 3B is a diagram showing the connection of the detector 204.

Referring to fig. 3A, the resistive film 172 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided in the form of a thin film in which an insulator, a conductor, a resistor, a conductor, and an insulator are successively stacked on one another. That is, since the resistor (e.g., carbon) is coated in the form of a thin film, a transparent material for implementing a touch method is not required, and coordinate measurement is not required, so that a device for recognizing coordinates is not required. Therefore, as described above with reference to fig. 1, the resistive film 172 in the form of a thin film is divided into a plurality of portions and attached to the surface of the vehicle 100.

Referring to fig. 3B, the detector 204 and the controller 202 may communicate in a wireless manner. As described above with reference to fig. 1, the plurality of resistive films 172 are attached to the plurality of portions of the vehicle 100, respectively. Each detector 204 is connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of resistive films 172 to detect a resistance value of the corresponding resistive film 172 and output the resistance value to the controller 202 in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) wireless communication. The two conductors of the resistive film 172, with the resistor interposed therebetween, are partially elongated to be electrically connected to the detector 204 to communicate with the detector 204. This connection allows the detector 204 to detect the resistance value of the resistor.

The detector 204 may use a 900MHz band RFID scheme. The 900MHz band RFID scheme may use relatively low power for power transmission and data collection, thereby reducing power consumption. In addition, the RFID system of the 900MHz band does not cause interference when the vehicle 100 performs radio reception.

Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating various embodiments of damage detection by a resistive film of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 4 shows an example of the damage type of the resistive film 172, an equivalent circuit according to the damage type, and a change in the resistance value depending on the damage type.

The types of damage may include "normal", "dented", "scratched", or "perforated". "normal" indicates a state in which the resistive film 172 is intact and undamaged. "recess" indicates a state in which the resistive film 172 is depressed by a stone flying at a high speed or an impact of a door of another vehicle. The "scratch" indicates a state in which the surface of the vehicle 100 is damaged due to contact friction with another structure (or another vehicle). "perforated" indicates a state in which the surface of the vehicle 100 is perforated by a sharp object or the like. The types of damage may include other types of damage in addition to those described with reference to FIG. 4. The controller 202 may detect the type of damage based on a change in the resistance value represented by the damage.

Referring to fig. 4, when the resistive film 172 is in a "normal" state in which the resistive film 172 is not damaged, the equivalent resistance exhibits an intrinsic resistance value in the normal state. For example, in the "normal" state, three resistors of 9k Ω are connected in parallel with each other, and the composite resistance (total resistance) of the resistive film 172 is 3k Ω.

When the resist film 172 is damaged by "dishing", the density of resistors constituting the resistive film 172 increases, and the total resistance value of the resistive film 172 decreases. For example, when one of three resistors connected in parallel with each other is damaged by the "recess", the combined resistance of the resistive film 172 is about 0.8k Ω.

When the resistive film 172 is damaged by "scratches" or "perforations", an electrically open state of the resistive film 172 occurs, and the total resistance value of the resistive film 172 increases. For example, when one of three resistors connected in parallel with each other is electrically opened, the composite resistance of the resistive film 172 is 4.5k Ω, which is the same as the case where two resistors are connected in parallel.

As described above, when the combined resistance (total resistance) of the resistive film 172 is 3k Ω, the controller 202 can determine that the resistive film 172 is in the "normal" state. Further, when the composite resistance (total resistance) of the resistive film 172 becomes 0.8k Ω, the controller 202 can determine that "pit" damage has occurred to the resistive film 172. When the composite resistance (total resistance) of the resistive film 172 becomes 4.5k Ω, the controller 202 can determine that "scratch" damage or "punch-through" damage has occurred to the resistive film 172.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of detecting damage to a vehicle and a method of post-processing according to occurrence of damage according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 5, the vehicle 100 performs damage detection and damage information indication using the resistive film, and the automobile shared service provider 212 performs user indemnity processing in which the user assumes indemnity responsibility for the damage based on the detection by the resistive film 172.

Referring to fig. 5, the controller 202 of the vehicle 100 activates the detector 204 such that the detector 204 measures the resistance value of the resistive film 172 (502).

When the detector 204 is activated to detect the resistance value of the resistive film 172, the detector 204 measures the resistance value of the resistive film 172 (504). The measurement of the resistance value of the resistive film 172 can be continuously performed by the detector 204. Alternatively, the measurement of the resistance value of the resistive film 172 by the detector 204 may be performed intermittently at predetermined intervals. Alternatively, the measurement of the resistance value of the resistive film 172 by the detector 204 may be performed in a combination of a continuous method and a batch method.

When the resistance value of the resistive film 172 has not changed and remains at the resistance value in the "normal" state (no in 506), the process returns to the above operation 504, and the measurement of the resistance of the resistive film 172 is continued.

When the resistance value of the resistive film 172 changes and deviates from the resistance value of the "normal" state (yes in 506), the controller 202 generates vehicle damage information based on the change in the resistance value, and stores the generated vehicle damage information in the memory 214 (508). That is, the controller 202 identifies the position, time (date), and damage type of the vehicle 100 from the change in the resistance value of the resistive film 172, and stores the identified information as vehicle damage information in the memory 214.

Additionally, the controller 202 may transmit the vehicle damage information to the remotely located automobile sharing service provider 212(510) via the communicator 210. The transmitted vehicle damage information may be stored in a server of the auto share service provider 212.

In addition, the controller 202 controls the display 208 provided in the vehicle 100 to output the generated vehicle damage information (512). The display 208 may be a screen of a navigation system or a meter provided in the vehicle 100.

The automobile sharing service provider 212, which has received the vehicle damage information from the controller 202 of the vehicle 100, stores the received vehicle damage information in the server (532). In this manner, the vehicle damage information received and stored by the auto share service provider 212 may be used as a basis for clarifying liability for reimbursement for damage that has occurred to the vehicle 100, as will be described later.

When a customer (i.e., a user using the vehicle 100 through the car sharing service) returns the vehicle 100, a representative of the car sharing service provider may check whether actual damage has occurred to the vehicle 100 based on the damage information stored in the server (534). For example, when the vehicle damage information indicates that the damage has occurred to the resistance film 172 attached to the front fender of the vehicle 100, the representative may visually check whether the front fender of the vehicle 100 is damaged.

When actual damage occurs to the front fender of the vehicle 100 (yes in 536), the damage is attributable to the user (customer) of the vehicle 100, and therefore the automobile sharing service provider enters into a user compensation process in which the user assumes responsibility for compensation for the damage, so that the user (customer) of the vehicle 100 compensates for the damage (538).

When the resistive film 172 detects that damage has occurred but the vehicle is not actually damaged (no in 536), the resistance values of the resistive film 172 of the corresponding portions are corrected or initialized in preparation for detecting damage that may occur in the future (540).

Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of detecting damage to a vehicle and a method of post-processing according to occurrence of damage according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In fig. 6, the vehicle 100 performs damage detection using the resistive film 172 while activating the black box for automatic recording.

Referring to fig. 6, the controller 202 of the vehicle 100 activates the detector 204 such that the detector 204 measures the resistance value of the resistive film 172 (602).

When the detector 204 is activated to detect the resistance value of the resistive film 172, the detector 204 measures the resistance value of the resistive film 172 (604). A continuous measurement of the resistance value of the resistive film 172 can be made by the detector 204. Alternatively, the measurement of the resistance value of the resistive film 172 by the detector 204 may be performed intermittently at predetermined intervals, or the measurement of the resistance value of the resistive film 172 by the detector 204 may be performed in a combination of a continuous method and an intermittent method.

When the resistance value of the resistive film 172 has not changed and remains at the resistance value in the "normal" state (no in 606), the process returns to the above-described operation 604, and the measurement of the resistance of the resistive film 172 is continued.

When the resistance value of the resistive film 172 changes and deviates from the resistance value of the "normal" state (yes in 606), the controller 202 generates vehicle damage information based on the change in the resistance value, and stores the generated vehicle damage information in the memory 214 (608). That is, the controller 202 identifies the position, time (date), and damage type of the vehicle 100 from the change in the resistance value of the resistive film 172, and stores the identified information as vehicle damage information in the memory 214.

In addition, the controller 202 may transmit vehicle damage information to the remotely located automobile sharing service provider 212(610) via the communicator 210. The transmitted vehicle damage information may be stored in a server of the auto share service provider 212. The auto share service provider 212 may use the vehicle damage information sent from the vehicle 100 to clarify the responsibility for reimbursing the damage to the vehicle 100 and, if desired, enter a user reimbursement process where the user assumes responsibility for reimbursement for the damage, as described above with reference to fig. 5 in operations 532 through 540.

In addition, the controller 202 may activate the camera 214 provided in the vehicle 100 to image and record the surrounding image of the vehicle 100 while generating the vehicle damage information (612). That is, the image data may be used as a material for identifying the cause of damage or the subject of damage liability in the future. When damage is recognized using the resistive film 172 according to the present disclosure, not only damage without impact but also damage subjected to impact can be sufficiently recognized by changing the change in the resistance value of the resistive film 172, and the camera 214 is immediately activated so that imaging and recording of the vehicle surroundings are performed. The camera 214 may be a black box or an imaging device provided in the vehicle 100 to improve driving safety or driving convenience of the vehicle 100. The image data acquired by the camera 214 may also be used in the future as a material for identifying the cause of damage or the responsibility of damage.

Fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating a structure of a resistive film according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 7, a resistive film 772 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided in the form of a thin film, in which an insulator, a conductor, a dielectric, a conductor, and an insulator are successively stacked on one another. That is, a dielectric, not a resistor of the damage detection film shown in fig. 3 according to the foregoing embodiment, is used for the damage detection film (i.e., the capacitance film 772 in the form of a thin film), and the damage occurring to the vehicle 100 is identified by detecting a change in capacitance caused by the damage, not by detecting a change in resistance value. When a dielectric is used instead of the resistor, the influence of rain water may be erroneously recognized as damage. However, in the case of rain, the detection value of the capacitance film 772 may be corrected in conjunction with the operation of the rain sensor, so that the possibility of misrecognition may be eliminated. When the capacitive film 772 has a structure including a dielectric, detection of damage to the vehicle 100 by the detector 204 may be stopped in a case where the influence of rainwater is not eliminated even by correction.

Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating a detector according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 8, the detector 204 and the controller 202 may communicate with each other through Controller Area Network (CAN) communication provided inside the vehicle 100.

As is apparent from the above, the damage detection film can easily and conveniently detect damage to the surface of the vehicle.

The above description of the present disclosure is for illustrative purposes, and it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that other modifications may be readily made without departing from the technical spirit or essential features of the present disclosure. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the above detailed description but is defined by the claims appended hereto, and it should also be understood that all changes or modifications derived from the definitions and scope of the claims and their equivalents fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
