    DEVICE USING A WIRELESS CONNECTION TO EXHIBIT THE REAR FIELD OF A VEHICLE TO YOUR DRIVER
    SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE
    The present invention consists of an electronic device intended to improve vision from the rear of a vehicle. Thus, it is an active safety system applicable to the transport sectors, and to the handling of industrial machinery, public works and agriculture.
    The main contribution of the mechanism is that the communication between the essential components of the system, a video camera and a monitor, is carried out through the wireless transmission of the data (image captured by the camera), not requiring the existence of a wiring electrical connection. In addition, the system is simple to install, allows quick assembly and disassembly, and facilitates a substantial improvement in the level of security in a short period of time.
    The primary virtue of this invention resides in its ability to facilitate and improve the observation of the rear field of vision of the vehicle to the driver thereof. This feature provides numerous advantages, highlighting the notable increase in security offered to the users of the vehicle, as well as to those pedestrians who eventually pass through its rear area. As an additional application !, in the case of agricultural machinery, it allows the driver to observe in real time the work done by the tools, from the cabin itself, and without having to stop the vehicle or have to descend from it.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    The idea proposed here arises while the author was driving his car on a secondary road. When approaching a cyclist and starting the overtaking maneuver, I noticed that the athlete had enough space to stick even more to the right side of the road (thus facilitating a greater distance between him and my vehicle during the overtaking phase), but that presumably had not done so

    I had not detected my presence well in advance. Perhaps some rearview mirrors would have been useful, but they are not liked by cyclists because they find them uncomfortable, provide a restricted field of vision and cause aerodynamic drag.
    It was evident that a rear camera represented a preferable solution, but its cable connection turns out to be inappropriate for this application. Since that same afternoon he had been linking a mobile phone to a stereo using a Bluetooth connection, the author thought that the most appropriate solution for the device could be based on transmitting data between camera and monitor via a type connection wireless (Bluetooth, WiFi, or similar) that does not require that the connection between said components be made using electrical wiring.
    After making the corresponding inquiries in the database of the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO), as well as in other sources of information available on the Internet, some similar inventions or applications have been found, although there are differences between them and the proposed device, either in its own architecture or in the use for which it has been designed. The main comparable systems are the following:
    - Patent ES2549792: Rear view device for a vehicle. Although the patent title is very similar, this invention differs from the proposal presented in this document since the camera requires a connection by means of electrical wiring (specifically to the system that feeds the reverse gear of the vehicle). Furthermore, said invention consists in that the chamber can be moved, and its application is limited to domestic waste collection trucks.
    - US 20160127693 A1: WiFi wireless rear view parking system. Conceptually, both systems are similar. However, the objective of both is different, since the invention described in said patent is aimed at improving vision during the parking maneuver. In addition, it is designed to be used exclusively in cars and its assembly is done on the rear license plate.
    - Cerevellum and Owl 360: They are two systems intended to be used by cyclists. In addition to not having found information on possible patents

    related to these products, these are different from the proposal made in this document, since both systems are based on a connection via an electric cable and, consequently, apply a data transmission system that differs from the one suggested in this report.
    EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention proposes a new solution to favor the observation of the rear field of vision of a vehicle and to solve the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections. The main objective is to increase driver safety, as well as that of other potential passengers, if any. The proposal is based on a device that contains two electronic components that are a video camera and a monitor, both being connected to each other via a wireless connection.
    The camera is located at the rear of the vehicle, and pointing in the longitudinal direction opposite to the movement described by the vehicle. The monitor, which shows in real time the image captured by the camera, will be mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle, on the handlebar (for example, if it were a bicycle) or in any other location preferred by the user. Each component is coupled to a support specifically designed for its support, allowing its regulation, as well as its rapid assembly and disassembly. In addition, even both main components (camera and monitor) could be magnetized to offer greater versatility when choosing their location and facilitate the assembly and disassembly process. The fixing brackets of said elements may also be fixed or removable, depending on the needs of the user.
    In addition to the aforementioned increase in the level of safety of passengers and bystanders, the invention prevents the user of the vehicle from having to turn around or adopt unnatural postures that also lead to a loss of vision in the direction of vehicle travel. Other virtues derive directly from the non-existence of an electrical wiring that connects to the main components.
    - Elimination of risks and inconveniences offered by the presence of an electric cable. As an example, if the vehicle were a bicycle, the risk of the cable detachment and winding on some element in the vehicle is avoided.

    movement (wheels, pedals, brakes, crown or pinions, ...).
    - The proposed equipment is autonomous in terms of electricity supply, since it has an electric battery incorporated into the device.
    - Both the camera and the monitor can be easily disassembled or relocated to a new position. Even the same system can be used in more than one vehicle (obviously, not simultaneously), if, for example, the user has a car and a motorcycle. Or if you use a motorized vehicle to go to your workplace and use a bicycle during your leisure time.
    - In addition, the absence of electrical wiring provides great versatility in the location of the components, and facilitates the rapid assembly and disassembly of the system.
    If there are other occupants besides the driver, the likelihood that passengers can observe possible risk situations is also increased, since the use of the traditional rear-view mirror creates a restricted field of vision that can only be observed by the driver.
    The device could include an acoustic warning based on a proximity sensor that will emit acoustic signals to inform the driver of the proximity of another vehicle or a passer-by in the rear area of his vehicle.
    Likewise, the device could also contain a GPS system to record the geographical position as a function of time, and provide the driver with the data related to distance traveled, time required, measured speed, route profile and other kinematic parameters that characterize the route made by the vehicle.
    It should be emphasized that one of the main objectives of this invention is to develop and market a device that can help reduce the number of cyclists killed in a traffic accident, since these were 48 victims in 2014 and 42 during 2015. However , the applications of this invention are numerous, since its use is feasible in all types of vehicles intended for the transport of people and goods, as well as industrial machinery (forklifts, pick-ups, ...), of public works ( excavators, scrapers, backhoes, ...) and tractors and various machinery used in agriculture.

    • A video camera (3) installed at the rear of the vehicle (1). Said chamber is mounted on a support (4) that allows its rapid assembly and disassembly. Likewise, the support (4) will allow the adjustment of the inclination angle of the camera both horizontally and vertically. Said support may be fixed or easily removable as required by the application and the type of use required by the user.
    • A monitor (5) that shows the image captured in real time by the camera (3). The monitor (5) is mounted on a support (6) located on the dashboard of the vehicle, on the handlebar (for example, if it were a bicycle) or in any other location preferred by the user. In addition, the support (6) will allow both horizontal and vertical adjustment of the monitor (5), as well as its rapid assembly and disassembly, and the support (6) can be fixed or easily removable as required by the type of use required by the user .
    • In addition, the information will be transmitted via a wireless connection (7). The wireless signal generating element will usually be integrated in the camera (3), although, as an alternative, it could also be located in the monitor (5) or achieved by adding some other component to the device in order to provide the system with said type of telecommunication
    • The information transmitted to the monitor (5) to be displayed by the driver
    (2) is the real-time image captured by the lens in the camera
    (3) corresponding to angle (8) (usually with conical shape), and whose
    Projections on the horizontal and vertical planes are y <¡k respectively.
    If the required field of view required a high value of the angle (8), the objective of the camera (3) could be wide-angle.
    This preferred embodiment is shown in Figures 1 and 2 in the case of a car, and is analogous to other possible applications for heavy vehicles, industrial machinery, public works and agriculture. Also, due to the advantages offered by the system to be used by cyclists, and thus increase their road safety, Figure 3 shows a scheme with the realization for this particular application.
    The presented device supports multiple additional applications in other fields. As an example, it can be used to observe the operation of machine tools, the work done by robots in a factory and, in general, any
    7
    circumstance that requires the remote observation of an event.
    Finally, it should be clarified that, if any type of software or computer application were required, it would be developed and made available to users on a web page 5 to facilitate downloading and installation on the device.
