A REARWARD FIELD OF VIEW SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE WITH MOTORCYCLES

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for using a camera (114) and display screen (112) to provide a vehicle operator with an image of all or part of the area surrounding the vehicle. A camera (114) is attached to the vehicle that is in communication with a display screen (112) viewable by the operator. A system for inverting the image from the camera (114) makes the image more readily understandable to the operator when the operator is looking forward and the camera (114) is pointed backward. The camera (114) and display screen (112) may be wired into a vehicle network. The network (200) may comprise many other devices for added convenience and functionality. Many other advantages can be added to the basic system, for example an operator controlled zoom, automatic changes of camera angle, quick-release components, magnetic security keys, and the like.
