When the horizontal line 17 is in the horizontal position, the reference position is set so that correct acceleration can be detected.

  In addition, it is good also as a structure which has the structure similar to the control means 20 mentioned later also between the 1st case body 11 and the 2nd case body 12. FIG. Further, the acceleration sensor 16 may be mounted on the vehicle side in addition to being provided in the drive recorder 1. In that case, the drive recorder 1 is provided with means for acquiring acceleration data via a connector or the like.

  The third case body 13 is provided with an in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 using a CCD or CMOS as a light receiving element, and the first case body 11 has a front side using a CCD or CMOS as a light receiving element as shown in FIG. A surveillance camera 19 is provided.

  In order to rotate the third case body 13, when a rotational torque of a predetermined level or more is applied, the claw portion 12a moves from the concave portion of the concave and convex portion 13a to the adjacent concave portion over the convex portion (FIG. 4). (See (b)), the claw portion 12a and the uneven portion 13a are engaged. Thereby, the third case body 13 is positioned and held on the second case body 12 at a desired rotational position.

  As described above, the third case body 13 is held within a predetermined range of 360 °, and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 can image the same subject imaged by the front monitoring camera 19 at different angles as shown in FIG. It is easily held at an arbitrary rotational position.

  FIG. 6 shows a functional block diagram of the drive recorder 1. In the drive recorder 1, captured images of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the front monitoring camera 19 are A / D converted by the A / D converter 31, and then subjected to predetermined image processing. Then, the processed image data is stored in the SDRAM 33 which is a primary storage unit.

  In the SDRAM 33, image data acquired in time series by the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the front monitoring camera 19 are sequentially compressed and stored. In the SDRAM 33, cyclic write control is performed in which image data is sequentially written from the top to the end of the data area, and when the end of the data area is reached, the data is sequentially written from the top to the end again.

The drive recorder 1 is provided with a CPU 32 that controls various modules in accordance with a control program. The CPU 32 controls driving of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the front monitoring camera 19, and controls image processing, image data accumulation, and the like.
Further, the CPU 32 has an in-vehicle monitoring control unit 32a, and the in-vehicle monitoring control unit 32a switches on / off of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 based on the captured image of the front monitoring camera 19.

  Thereby, based on the captured image of the front monitoring camera 19, after detecting that the movement of the vehicle has started, it is possible to start imaging by the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and detect a drowsy driving or the like.

  Further, when the drive recorder 1 detects that the acceleration of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a predetermined value by the collation information generation unit 36 that generates collation information for determining whether the image data has been tampered with and the acceleration sensor 16, A non-volatile SD memory card 34, which is a storage means for storing image data stored in the SDRAM 33, and a falsification determination unit 37 that compares the image data with the collation information to determine whether the image data has been falsified. The tampering determination system 50 is constituted by these various modules.

  The collation information generation unit 36 generates collation information that is uniquely calculated based on the values of the image data captured by the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the front monitoring camera 19. This collation information refers to noise information unique to analog / digital conversion that is added when images taken by the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the front monitoring camera 19 are converted to digital data by the A / D converter 31.

  The SD memory card 34 stores when the acceleration of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined value, that is, the occurrence timing of an accident event, and image data acquired within a predetermined period before and after the accident event or a predetermined period before the occurrence of the accident event. Is done. Further, collation information corresponding to the image data is also stored. As described above, the SD memory card 34 stores image data for a predetermined time at the time of the accident event, so that necessary image data can be efficiently provided and the capacity of the SD memory card 34 can be increased. Savings are made.

Next, the operation of the drive recorder 1 having such a configuration will be described.
First, when a person gets into the vehicle, the front monitoring camera 19 starts an imaging operation. When the vehicle starts to move, the image captured by the front monitoring camera 19 moves. Thereby, it is detected that the vehicle has started to move, and the in-vehicle monitoring control unit 32a causes the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 to start photographing the driver's face and the inside of the vehicle.

  Image data captured by the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the front monitoring camera 19 are sequentially stored in the SDRAM 33. The SDRAM 33 always stores the latest fixed amount of image data. After a certain amount of image data is stored, new image data is overwritten sequentially.

When the vehicle stops, the CPU 32 detects that the vehicle has stopped based on the image captured by the front monitoring camera 19, stops the imaging of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18, and also stops the front monitoring camera 19.
Further, when the occurrence of an accident event is detected based on the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 16 during driving of the vehicle, the CPU 32 determines the occurrence timing of the accident event stored in the SDRAM 33 at this occurrence timing, and this. Image data acquired during a predetermined period before and after the image data and collation information corresponding to the image data are stored in the SD memory card 34, respectively.

  In this case, if the third case body 13 is manually rotated and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 is positioned so as to face the same subject as the front monitoring camera 19 in advance, the same subject in front of the vehicle is Images are taken at different angles by both the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18.

Therefore, when an accident event occurs, the image data of the same subject acquired by the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 and the collation information corresponding to this image data are stored in the SD memory card 34 at the time of the accident event and in a predetermined period before and after the accident event. Remembered.
At this time, since the rotation position of the third case body 13 is reliably held by the restricting means 20, the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 does not shift even if an unintentional external force such as impact or vibration is applied. Holds securely.

  As described above, the direction of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 can be freely changed by a simple manual operation, and the imaging areas of the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 can easily have an overlapping area and a non-overlapping area. Set to

  In the image data captured by the front monitoring camera 19 (see FIG. 7A) and the image data captured by the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 (see FIG. 7B) thus obtained, for example, a region that does not overlap with the overlapping region X When there is a subject that moves between Y and Y, it is difficult to tamper with the consistency between the overlapping region X and the non-overlapping region Y, and a tampering prevention effect can be obtained.

  As described above, in the drive recorder 1 of the present embodiment, the same subject can be simultaneously imaged at different angles due to the parallax between the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18, and the obtained image data of the subject is the shadow or It becomes difficult to tamper with matching the background and the like, and the evidence ability of image data can be improved.

  In addition, when it is necessary to perform photographing that is difficult to falsify, the imaging regions of the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 have an overlapping region X, and it is not necessary to perform photographing that is difficult to falsify. In this case, the imaging areas of the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 can be made to have no overlapping area X.

  In other words, the combined imaging area of the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 may be narrow and only needs to be able to shoot the vehicle, for example, only in front of the vehicle. As described above, the imaging area including the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 is desired to have a wide range, and it is possible to select the imaging area as needed for customers who do not need to consider tampering. . As a result, the versatility of the drive recorder 1 is improved, and the drive recorder 1 is also used for different purposes, thus saving costs.

Next, the image data alteration determination method performed by the image data alteration determination system 50 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the image data of the front monitoring camera 19 and its shooting time data are stored (step S1), and the image data of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 that images the same subject as the front monitoring camera 19 and its shooting time data are stored (step S2). ).

Then, the image data of the front monitoring camera 19 at the same shooting time (see FIG. 7A) and the image data of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 (see FIG. 7B) are compared (step S3). It is determined whether or not the shadow, background, etc. of the subject have consistency (step S4).
If it has consistency, it is determined that the image data is correct (step S5), and if it does not have consistency, it is determined that there is a possibility of falsification (step S6). Thereby, the presence or absence of falsification of the image data is determined and the authenticity of the image data is confirmed, so that the evidence ability can be improved.

  Further, in the falsification determination method for image data shown in FIG. 9, the collation information generation unit 36 first generates collation information (noise information) unique to analog / digital conversion that is uniquely calculated based on the image data in question. (Step S1). Thereafter, the noise information detected from the image data read from the SD memory card 34 is compared with the collation information uniquely calculated (steps S2 and S3).

  If the comparison results match (no change in noise information), it is determined to be correct (step S4), and if they do not match (change in noise information), it is determined that there is a possibility of falsification (step) In step S5), it is determined whether the image data has been tampered with.

  In this tampering judgment method, when the image is pasted, deleted or edited, the noise added at the time of digitization changes. It detects the presence or absence of data falsification.

  The drive recorder according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can adopt various configurations without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the present embodiment, the falsification determination system 50 is provided in the drive recorder 1, but may be configured separately from the drive recorder 1.
That is, the storage means of the drive recorder 1 is composed of a detachable nonvolatile memory or the like, and the nonvolatile memory is attached to another device and read to determine whether it has been tampered with, or an image of the storage means of the drive recorder 1 Data may be read out by another device connected by wire or wirelessly and tampered with. Furthermore, the tampering determination system 50 may be configured by a personal computer, a portable terminal, or the like.

Further, instead of the restricting means 20, a rotation stopper 40 shown in FIG. 10 may be provided as another restricting means.
That is, the rotation stopper 40 has a plurality of latching pieces 12 b formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner end of the second case body 12, and the movable piece 43 is fixed to the shaft 41 of the third case body 13. Yes.

  The movable piece 43 is biased in one direction by the torsion spring 42 and can rotate only in the other direction. That is, the third case body 13 rotates to a desired rotational angle position against the biasing force of the torsion spring 42 (see FIG. 10A), and is latched by the latching piece 12b at the position (see FIG. 10A). (Refer FIG.10 (b)). As a result, the vehicle interior monitoring camera 18 is securely fixed at an arbitrary rotational position, and imaging inside the vehicle as well as outside the vehicle is possible.

  In the present embodiment, the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 is configured to manually rotate. However, the drive recorder 1 is provided with a camera rotation driving unit that rotates the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18, and the occurrence timing of an accident event detected by the acceleration sensor 16 is provided. Thus, by automatically rotating the third case body 13, the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 is rotated to a position where the subject in front of the vehicle is imaged, and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 is imaged by the same subject as the front monitoring camera 19. You may comprise so that it may position. As a result, the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 images the inside of the vehicle in normal times, but images the same subject in front of the vehicle together with the front monitoring camera 19 in the event of an accident.

  Further, instead of the acceleration sensor 16, another sensor that can detect the impact of an accident such as a gyro sensor may be used. Instead of the SD memory card 34, a hard disk or an optical disk may be used.

  Further, the drive recorder 1 can record voices in addition to in-vehicle images, and can be used for recording conversations, telephone calls, and crime prevention measures in the vehicle, and image data of the front monitoring camera 19 and the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18. Can be displayed three-dimensionally on a three-dimensional display or the like.

  For example, as a playback device, it is determined whether there is a similarity between the video of the front monitoring camera 19 and the video of the in-vehicle monitoring camera 18 recorded on the SD memory card 34 at the same time. 3D video data is generated taking into account the similarity between the two images and output to one screen display means such as a 3D television. On the other hand, if there is no similarity, 2 screens are displayed. Playback that makes two-dimensional display instead of three-dimensional display, such as dividing into two areas and displaying both videos in each area, or displaying either one of both videos on the screen Configure the device.

  The presence or absence of similarity may be determined by providing a predetermined threshold value or the like. In this way, for example, when tampering occurs, it is determined that there is no similarity depending on the degree of tampering, resulting in a two-dimensional display. Therefore, tampering can be easily determined by viewing the display state of whether the display is two-dimensional or three-dimensional and the contents of both images.

  The drive recorder of the present invention can be used as a vehicle monitoring unit that monitors both outside and inside the vehicle.
