JP 2012-64126 A

  Among these systems, there is a system in which various models can be set with one system. For example, a list of model names that can be set is displayed, and one model name is selected from the list. For example, a list of model names that can be set is displayed in the pull-down menu displayed when the menu bar is clicked, and one model name can be selected from the model name list displayed in the pull-down menu. It is configured to display a check at the beginning of the model name. Then, setting items for the selected model are displayed on the screen so that each setting item can be set. In such a system, when the selection of the model is changed, the setting value of the default setting for each model is displayed.

However, there is a problem that the electronic device may not operate correctly as intended as a result of the user selecting and setting an inappropriate model because the model name is unknown. Moreover, when the selection of the model is changed, the default setting is used, and there is a problem that the setting takes time.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system and the like that are easier to use than conventional ones.

  (1) In a system having a function of storing the setting information in the storage unit for an electronic device that operates based on the setting information read from the storage unit, among the setting information for a plurality of different types of electronic devices A function of storing setting information for at least one model in a storage unit; a function of reading the model identification information stored in the storage unit and displaying a setting screen for a model specified by the model identification information It is good to have a system characterized by this.

  In this way, the problem that the model name is not known and an inappropriate model is selected and set can be solved. As a result, it is possible to easily operate the electronic device as intended by the user, and it is easy to use.

  The system may be configured as a device separate from the electronic device, for example, and may be configured as a personal computer, for example. For example, an application program that runs on a personal computer may be used. The system may be composed of a plurality of devices. For example, it is good to comprise from the apparatus connected to the personal computer which has a connection part of a memory | storage means with a personal computer.

  The electronic device may be, for example, an electronic device that exists in a different place from the system. The storage means may have a configuration that can be stored and read by communication between the system and the electronic device, for example, as a configuration provided in the system or the electronic device. It is good to do. In such a configuration, in the conventional configuration, if there is an error in the selected model, the storage medium is removed from the electronic device, returned to the place where the system exists, mounted in the system, and correct using the system. Although it is necessary to reset the model, it is very time-consuming and inconvenient. However, according to the present configuration, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of such time. For example, a card-type storage medium may be used as the storage medium. The system may be, for example, a system installed in a building, and the electronic device may be, for example, an electronic device installed in a vehicle.

  As a function for storing the setting information for at least one model among the setting information for a plurality of different types of electronic devices in the storage unit, for example, the setting information for the model used by the user is stored in the storage unit. In particular, the configuration may be such that setting information for one type of electronic device among the setting information for a plurality of different types of electronic devices is stored in the storage means. The storage means may be composed of a plurality of physically separated storage means, but may be a physically single storage means. For example, a single storage medium may be used as the physically single storage means. It is good to do.

  For example, the model identification information may be stored in advance in a storage unit, and a package in which the electronic device having the model identification information is packed together with the storage unit that stores the model identification information may be configured. For example, it is good to comprise as a package provided with the storage medium as a memory | storage means which memorize | stored the model identification information of the said electronic device with the electronic device. And it is good to transfer this package.

If it does in this way, the setting screen for the model of the electronic device in the package specified by the model identification information memorize | stored in the memory | storage means in this package will be displayed in a system. Since the correspondence between the electronic device in the same package and the storage means is made in advance, the problem of selecting and setting an inappropriate model without knowing the model name can be solved more accurately.
For example, the setting information may be information including setting contents such as an operation condition of the electronic device.
(2) It is good to provide a model selection function and to have the function of storing the model identification information of the model selected by the model selection function in the storage means.

  In this way, when the storage means storing the model identification information of the selected model is read by this system, the setting screen for the model of the stored model identification information is displayed. Is displayed. Therefore, once the model is selected and stored by the model selection function, the possibility of erroneous model selection can be reduced from the next time.

  In addition, for example, even if a new storage medium or a formatted storage medium has no model identification information stored in the storage means, a new storage means that exhibits the effect of this system is provided. Can be produced.

  In addition, for example, a person who has introduced a plurality of models of electronic devices uses this system to generate a storage unit that stores model identification information for another model that he or she uses. You can also.

  (3) When a function of storing the setting information selected on the setting screen of the model selected by the model selection function in the storage means is detected, and a change of the model selected by the model selection function is detected For setting items common to the model before the change and the model after the change, it is preferable to have a function of maintaining the setting information selected in the model before the change and displaying it on the setting screen.

  In this way, the model name can be changed and set while maintaining the settings of the model before the change. For example, if you do not realize that the model name is not the correct model name and you set the setting item contents and then notice that the model name is not the correct model name, When the name was changed to the correct model name, the setting item changed to the default setting information of the correct model name, and there was a problem that it was necessary to set again from the beginning. However, according to the configuration of (3), there is no need to reset the contents of the setting item even if the user recognizes that the model name is not the correct model name after setting the contents of the setting item. Easy to use.

  (4) Among the setting items displayed on the setting screen, setting items that do not exist in the model, setting items that exist in the model but cannot be changed, and settings that exist in the model can be changed. It may be configured to have a function of making display modes for various setting items different.

  In this way, whether the setting item does not exist in the model you want to set, or the setting item that exists in the model but cannot be changed, or exists in the model and can be changed. It is easy to recognize whether it is a setting item. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.

  For example, for setting items that do not exist in the model that the user wants to set, the setting information display section may be grayed out and displayed as "---". On the other hand, for setting items that exist in the model but cannot be changed, the setting information may be displayed and the setting information display section may be grayed out. And about the setting item which exists in the said model and can change a setting, it is good to display the setting information display part without graying out, and to display the setting information which can be selected when it is clicked.

  As the display related to the setting item that exists in the model but the setting cannot be changed, a fixed content of the setting item of the model may be displayed, and a display indicating that the setting item cannot be changed may be displayed. For example, a fixed value may be displayed and a display indicating that the value cannot be changed as gray out may be used.

  (5) When a function for storing the setting information selected on the setting screen of the model selected by the model selection function in the storage means is detected, and a change of the model selected by the model selection function is detected And a function to display the setting items on the setting screen for the model after the change, and the model selected by the model selection function is changed from the model after the change to the model before the change. When it is detected that the setting item has been detected, the setting item may be displayed with the setting information selected before the change.

  In this way, the setting information of the model once set does not need to be reset even if the model is switched. Conventionally, for example, the setting information set in the model A is returned to the default setting of the model A when the model A is switched to the model B and then switched to the model A. According to the above, such a trouble is not required and it is easy to use.

  For example, even if there is no function for returning to the default setting, if the function (1) + (4) is provided and the function (5) is not provided, when the model is changed, it does not exist in the model after the change. When a setting item or a setting item that exists but cannot be changed is changed, the setting information changes. And when it returns to the model before a change in that state, it will become the setting information of the content different from the content set before the change. However, such a problem can be suppressed by providing the configuration (5).

  (6) The setting screen may include a function of displaying information related to the model based on the model identification information stored in the storage unit and information related to the model selected by the model selection function.

  In this way, it is possible to easily compare which model the setting currently stored in the storage means is, and which model the model to be currently set is. For example, it is possible to easily know whether the model is correctly selected. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.

(7) It may be configured to have a function of displaying information related to the model based on the model identification information stored in the storage means or information related to the model selected by the model selection function as a picture instead of a character string.
In this way, it is possible to easily prevent further errors intuitively. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.
(8) The function in the system according to any one of (1) to (7) may be realized by a program for causing a computer to realize the function.

  Compared to conventional systems, it is possible to provide a user-friendly system.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of an information processing system including a drive recorder as an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention and a personal computer as a system will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are explanatory diagrams regarding the configuration of a drive recorder as an electronic device, FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the delivery of an SD card as a storage means between the drive recorder and a personal computer, and FIGS. 6 to 14 are personal computers. It is explanatory drawing regarding operation | movement by the setting program of a personal computer, such as a structure and screen display content. The setting program has a viewer function for displaying data stored in the SD card and a setting function for setting the operation of the drive recorder, and can set a plurality of different drive recorder models and display data. For example, “BDR-1” (hereinafter also referred to as drive recorder 1a), which is a drive recorder for motorcycles having the function of the drive recorder 1, and model name “BU”, which is a drive recorder for trucks having the function of the drive recorder 1. -DRR603T "(hereinafter also referred to as drive recorder 1b), model name" BU-DRR403 "(hereinafter also referred to as drive recorder 1c), which is a drive recorder for passenger cars having the function of drive recorder 1, and the like. Model settings and data display are possible. The settings of these different drive recorder models are generally the same, but there are differences in some functions, and settings items that cannot be set with that model are grayed out and set as shown in FIGS. It is displayed so that it cannot be changed.

  First, a schematic configuration of the drive recorder 1 that is common among different types of drive recorders such as the drive recorders 1a to 1c will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b). The external appearance of the drive recorder 1 is composed of a main body case 2, a mounting bracket 3 attached to the outer periphery of the main body case 2, and a cap 4 for fixing the mounting bracket 3 to the main body case 2. The main body case 2 is configured by combining a pair of front and rear first and second case pieces 2a and 2b. A mounting plate 5 protruding outward is formed on a part of the outer periphery of the mounting bracket 3.

  On the wall surface of the first case piece 2a, a holder 7, first and second push buttons 8, 9 serving as operating means, and first and second pilot lamp illumination blocks 10, 11 are arranged. The lens 14 of the CCD camera 13 is disposed on the wall surface of the second case piece 2b. As shown in FIG. 3, an acceleration sensor 15 is mounted on the holder body 7 a of the holder 7. In the holder 7, the acceleration sensor 15 can be arranged in the horizontal direction as the reference position as the holder body 7 a rotates.

  An insertion hole 17 to the DC power jack 16 is formed on the exposed surface viewed from the cap 4 of the main body case 2. An insertion port 18 for inserting an SD card is formed on the wall surface of the main body case 2 on the side opposite to the cap 4.

  A photographing mechanism 21 is disposed in the main body case 2. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a CCD camera 13, a GPS receiver 24, a DC jack 16, a power supply circuit, and the like are mounted on the main board 22 constituting the photographing mechanism 21. Sub-boards 25 are disposed on the main board 22 in an overlapping manner. The acceleration sensor 15 is connected to the sub-board 25. Also, switches 27 and 28 are arranged at positions corresponding to the first and second push buttons 8 and 9, and LEDs 29 and 30 corresponding to the first and second pilot lamp illumination blocks 10 and 11 are arranged. ing. An SD card reader 31 is disposed between the main board 22 and the sub board 25.

  In the drive recorder having such a configuration, the lens 14 of the CCD camera 13 is attached to the front window via the attachment plate 5 so as to face a predetermined direction (generally the front direction), and the holder body 7a of the holder 7 is rotated. The acceleration sensor 15 is arranged in the horizontal direction as a reference position, and the SD card reader 31 is used with the SD card loaded.

Next, the electrical configuration of the drive recorder having such a configuration will be described based on the block diagram of FIG. In addition, about the structure which is not directly related to this invention, it abbreviate | omits.
A CCD camera 13, an acceleration sensor 15, a GPS receiver 24, an SD card reader 31, and a database 32 are connected to the controller MC.

  The controller MC constituting the control means includes a well-known CPU, a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, a timer, and the like. In the ROM of the controller MC, a GPS information processing program for processing GPS information received by the GPS receiver 24, a video processing program for storing video taken by the CCD camera 13 in a memory or an SD card, and an OS (Operation System) Etc. are stored.

  The GPS receiver 24 constituting the acquisition means and position detection means detects the position information of the own vehicle at the current time based on an instruction from the controller MC. In this embodiment, the detection timing is every second. The position information to be detected is the position, speed, latitude, longitude, and altitude of the host vehicle. The CCD camera 13 outputs a constantly shot video to the controller MC via an interface unit 33 that performs compression and digital conversion of the shot data. The controller MC temporarily stores the video in the memory (video for 10 seconds in the present embodiment), and stores the video determined to be stored in the event occurrence determination routine described later in the SD card via the SD card reader 31. The acceleration sensor 15 constituting the acquisition means is a three-axis type sensor that detects acceleration and inclination in the directions of the three axes (X, Y, Z), and always outputs a detection value to the controller MC.

  The SD card reader 31 reads data of an SD card as a memory card inserted from the insertion slot 18 or updates the data of the SD card based on the control of the controller MC. The SD card is shipped from the factory in the same package as the drive recorder. In the SD card, the same model name as the model of the drive recorder included in the factory is stored and shipped as model identification information. In the factory, for example, the model name “BDR-1” for the drive recorder 1a, the model name “BU-DRR603T” for the drive recorder 1b, and the model name “BU-DRR403” for the drive recorder 1c. The setting information provided in the SD card is stored in a model identification information storage area provided in a setting file for storing the setting information. The setting information is configured as a character string consisting of a set item name and set content name pair, and a setting file including a character string consisting of each set item name and set content name set by the setting program is transferred to the SD card. Processing to write is performed. When the power supply to the drive recorder 1 in which the SD card in which the setting file is written is installed is started, the controller MC reads the setting information stored in the SD card from the setting file, and based on the setting information. Works. That is, the drive recorder 1 reads a character string consisting of a set of each setting item name and setting content name in the setting file, and sets the operating condition of the drive recorder 1 corresponding to each setting item name to the setting item name. Set as the contents of the contents name and operate.

  Next, a method for storing setting information in the SD card and a method for visually recognizing a video corresponding to an event stored in the SD card (and information related to the occurrence of other events) will be described.

  The user loads the SD card into the SD card reader / writer 36 connected to the personal computer 35 as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a general electrical configuration of the personal computer 35. The personal computer 35 includes an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) 37 that is a control device. A ROM 38 and a RAM 39 are connected to the MPU 37. The MPU 37 is connected to a hard disk drive 40 in addition to the SD card reader / writer 36 as a data interface means, a keyboard 42 and a mouse 43 as data input means, and a printer 44 as a data output means (or display means). And a monitor 45 are connected to each other. A hard disk in the hard disk drive 40 stores a general program of the personal computer 35 and a setting program for displaying an image of an acceleration pattern on the monitor 45 together with data.

The user starts the setting program by operating the data input means. Then, the OS activates the setting program, and the viewer screen is displayed on the monitor 45 by executing the setting program. When starting the setting program, the setting file is read from the SD card and stored in the RAM 39 as setting information. FIG. 7 is an example of a viewer screen displayed on the monitor 45. In the title bar at the upper position of the viewer screen, the model name as model identification information is read from the setting information stored in the RAM 39 and displayed after the character string “PC Browser” which is the program name of the program. In the example of FIG. 7, “BDR-1” is stored in the SD card as model identification information, and a character string “[BDR-1]” is displayed.
Below the title bar, a menu bar for executing various operations is arranged.

  A video display area that displays images stored on the SD card, a traveling speed display area, and an acceleration display area are provided in the lower left direction of the menu bar from the top. A video drive / stop button and an acceleration history display area are arranged. In the lower right direction of the menu bar, a playlist and an acceleration state image display area are arranged in order from the top.

  The acceleration state image display area displays an image corresponding to the model name. The correspondence between the model name and the image file name is stored in advance, and the image file name is specified from the correspondence and displayed. For example, if the model name displayed in the title bar is “BDR-1”, since it is a drive recorder 1a for motorcycles, a motorcycle image is displayed as shown in FIG. For example, if the model name displayed in the title bar is “BU-DRR603T”, it is a drive recorder 1b for a track, so that an image of the track is displayed in the acceleration state image display area as shown in FIG. If the model name displayed in the title bar is “BU-DRR403”, it is a drive recorder 1c for a passenger car, and therefore an image of the passenger car is displayed in the acceleration state image display area as shown in FIG.

  When the user operates the menu bar and designates the file number of the playlist of photographed images to be displayed, the photographed image corresponding to the file number is displayed in the video display area. The image displayed at this time is a still image when it is determined that an event has occurred. As the captured image is displayed, data corresponding to the image is displayed in the traveling speed display area, acceleration display area, and latitude / longitude display area. The acceleration history display area displays the acceleration history in the triaxial direction of the captured image over the stored time, and plots the acceleration position of the time currently displayed in the video display area.

Next, an operation setting screen of the drive recorder 1 will be described. When an operation corresponding to pressing a setting icon in the form of a gear located on the right side of the menu bar in FIG. 7 is detected from the data input means, a setting screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. At this time, the setting contents for the current setting item name are set and displayed in the setting information which is the setting file information read from the SD card stored in the RAM 39. In other words, the setting contents of the SD card and the setting contents of the setting items on the setting screen are displayed so as to match. For example, the “use model” setting item near the lower right of the setting screen and the “SD card setting” below the setting item are included in the setting information that is information of the setting file read from the SD card stored in the RAM 39. Displays the model name as identification information. In addition, the display section of the setting contents of the setting items that can be set in the model is displayed with a white background and a pull-down menu that can be selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the setting content “always recording + event recording” of the setting item “recording method” is displayed. On the other hand, for setting items that do not exist in the model, the setting content display section is grayed out and displayed as "---". For example, the setting item “acceleration sensor trigger” shown in FIG. 8 is configured to display “---” as setting contents and to be grayed out and cannot be set by the data input unit. For setting items that exist in the model but cannot be changed, the setting contents are displayed and the setting contents display section is grayed out. For example, FIG. 12 shows an example in which the setting item “model used” is changed to “BDR-S1” as will be described later. In this model, the setting item “recording method” is fixed with the setting content “always recording”. Therefore, the setting content is displayed as “always recording” and is grayed out so that the setting cannot be made by the data input unit. For each model, the setting contents group that can be set for each setting item and information on whether to gray out are stored in the hard disk drive 40 as a correspondence table for each model, and displayed according to the contents of this correspondence table for the model. Like to do.
As shown in FIG. 8, the setting screen includes a recording setting area, a date / time setting area, a system setting area, and a button group area in order from top to bottom.

The column on the left side of the recording setting area has setting items such as recording method, image quality setting, number of continuous recording frames, number of event recording frames, event recording time, extended recording time, and audio recording in order from the top. In this order, from the top, there are setting items for continuous recording start method, power button, acceleration sensor trigger, camera brightness setting, and continuous recording / event recording / history recording as overwrite mode.
In the date and time setting area, a “set” check box is provided, and setting items for the date and time can be set in a checked state.

  The column on the left side of the system setting area includes setting items for history recording time, beep sound, and installation angle detection in order from the top, and the column on the right side of the system setting area for each of the SD card ID, password, and used model in order from the top. It has setting items.

  The setting item name on the setting screen and the setting content name that can be set are basically the same as those in the past, but in this embodiment, an SD card setting display is provided under the setting item of the model used. There is a feature in the point.

  The SD card setting display is an area for displaying a model name as model identification information stored in the SD card on the setting screen. In the example of FIG. 8, “BDR-1” is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the setting content of the setting item of the model used is changed to “BDR-S1”, the SD card setting display is displayed as “BDR-1”, which is stored in the SD card. It is easy to compare which model the setting is currently set and which model is the model that is currently being set. Therefore, it is possible to easily know whether the model is correctly selected. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.

The button group area includes buttons for SD card format, recording data deletion, backup, OK, and cancel in order from the left. When pressing of the SD card format button is detected, a screen for formatting the SD card is displayed. When it is detected that the recording data deletion button has been pressed, a list of file names of recording data stored in the SD card is displayed to delete the selected recording data file. If it is detected that the backup button has been pressed, the SD card file is copied to the hard disk drive 40. If it is detected that the OK button has been pressed, after a process of writing a setting file including a character string composed of a set of each setting item name and setting content name currently displayed on the setting screen to the SD card is performed. Return to the viewer screen as shown in FIG. That is, when a setting change is made, a setting file reflecting the setting change is stored in the SD card. If pressing of the cancel button is detected, the setting contents on the current setting screen are discarded and the viewer screen returns to the viewer screen as shown in FIG.
Next, the operation at the time of setting on the setting screen will be described in more detail.
FIG. 8 is a display example of a setting screen when an SD card having the model name “BDR-S1” of the drive recorder 1 a is inserted in the SD card reader / writer 36.

  In this state, when a click on the setting item “recording method” with the mouse 43 as the data input means is detected, a list of setting item names that can be set is shown in the hard disk drive 40 as shown in FIG. Read the correspondence table and display it. In the correspondence table of “BDR-S1”, three setting contents names “always recording”, “event recording”, and “always recording + event recording” are stored as setting contents “setting method”. As shown in the figure, it is displayed in a pull-down menu so that it can be selected. When a click on “event recording” is detected from the selectable setting content name, “event recording” which is the selected setting item name is displayed as shown in FIG. Similarly, it is assumed that the setting item “power button” is changed from the “valid” state in FIG. 10 to the “invalid” state in FIG. In this state, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the setting item “model used” is changed from the setting content “BDR-1” in FIG. 11 to the setting content “BDR-S1” in FIG. When the change of the setting item “model used” is detected, the setting contents of each setting item on the setting screen of the model before the change are stored in the RAM 39 as the model-specific setting screen state. In “BDR-S1”, since the setting item “recording method” is only “always recording” and is stored in the correspondence table with grayout, the setting content name of “recording item” is “always recording” as shown in FIG. It is fixed to be displayed as grayed out so that the setting cannot be changed. In addition, since the setting item “power button” is not possible in “BDR-S1” and the setting content name is “---” and is stored in the grayed out correspondence table, as shown in FIG. The setting content name is fixed to “---” and displayed as a gray-out display so that the setting cannot be changed.

  In this state, since the model name does not match the display of the setting item “model used” and the display of “SD card setting” which is displayed below the setting item “model used”, the fixed item “ When it is noticed that the “use model” has been changed to the setting content “BDR-S1” in FIG. 12, an operation for returning the original setting item “use model” to the setting content “BDR-1” is performed again. To do. At this time, the model-specific setting screen state is read from the RAM 39, and the setting contents of each setting item before the change are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, when the “use model” is returned to “BDR-1” again, the “recording method” is “always recording” automatically set by “BDR-S1” after the change. "Event record" before the change is displayed instead of the setting "". Further, the “power button” is not set to “---” automatically set by “BDR-S1” after the change, but is displayed as “invalid” before the change.

  By processing in this way, for example, after changing some settings, if the settings of the model used are changed by mistake, when setting back to the original model used again, the setting items before the model change Since the setting contents are remembered and displayed with the setting contents, the trouble of changing the setting again is eliminated.

  As described above, the system has a function of storing setting information in the SD card for the drive recorder 1 that operates based on the setting information read from the SD card. And the setting information for at least 1 drive recorder 1 among the setting information for drive recorders of a plurality of different models is provided in the SD card. A function of reading model identification information stored in the SD card and displaying a setting screen for the model specified by the model identification information is provided. This solves the problem that the model name is unknown and an inappropriate model is selected and set. As a result, it is possible to easily operate the electronic device as intended by the user, and it is easy to use.

  The drive recorder 1 is, for example, an electronic device that exists in a place different from a personal computer that is a system. In the conventional configuration, if there is an error in the selected model, the SD card is removed from the drive recorder 1, returned to the place where the personal computer 35 exists, and mounted in the SD card reader / writer 36 of the personal computer 35. However, according to the present configuration, it is possible to suppress the generation of such troubles.

  The model identification information is stored in an SD card at the time of shipment from the factory, for example, and constitutes a package in which the drive recorder 1 of the model identification information is packed together with the SD card storing the model identification information. Therefore, the setting screen for the model of the drive recorder 1 in the package specified by the model identification information stored in the SD card in the package is displayed on the personal computer 35. Since the correspondence between the drive recorder 1 and the SD card in the same package is made in advance, the problem that the model name is not known and an inappropriate model is selected and set can be solved more accurately.

  The setting screen has a model selection function for selecting a model according to the setting item “model used”, and a function for storing the model name as model identification information of the model selected by the model selection function for the SD card. Yes. Therefore, when the SD card storing the model identification information of the selected model is read next when the setting program of the personal computer 35 is executed, the stored model identification information for the model is set. A screen is displayed. Therefore, once the model is selected and stored by the model selection function, the possibility of erroneous model selection can be reduced from the next time. In addition, for example, even when the model identification information is not stored in the SD card, such as a new SD card or a formatted SD card, an SD card that exhibits the effect of this system is newly created. be able to.

  Also, for example, a person who has installed a plurality of models of the drive recorder 1 can use this system to generate an SD card storing model identification information for another model that he or she uses. .

  A function to store the setting information selected on the setting screen of the model selected by the model selection function in the SD card, and when a change in the model selected by the model selection function is detected, For setting items common to the model after the change, a function is provided for maintaining the setting information selected in the model before the change and displaying it on the setting screen. Therefore, the model name can be changed and the setting can be made while maintaining the setting of the model before the change. For example, if you do not realize that the model name is not the correct model name and you set the setting item contents and then notice that the model name is not the correct model name, When the name was changed to the correct model name, the setting item changed to the default setting information of the correct model name, and there was a problem that it was necessary to set again from the beginning. However, since this configuration is provided, there is no need to reset the content of the setting item even if it is found that the model name is not the correct model name after setting the content of the setting item. Good.

  Among the setting items displayed on the setting screen, there are setting items that do not exist on the model, setting items that exist on the model but cannot be changed, and setting items that exist on the model and can be changed. It has a function that makes the display mode of each different. Therefore, whether it is a setting item that does not exist in the model that you want to set, a setting item that exists in the model but cannot be changed, or is a setting item that exists in the model and can be changed It is easy to distinguish and recognize. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.

  A function to store the setting information selected on the setting screen of the model selected by the model selection function in the SD card, and when a change in the model selected by the model selection function is detected, the setting items on the setting screen Is displayed for the model after the change, and when it is detected that the model selected by the model selection function has been changed from the model after the change to the model before the change. Has a function of displaying setting items with the setting information selected before the change. For this reason, once the model setting information is set, it is not necessary to reset it even if the model is switched.

  The setting screen has a function of displaying information related to the model based on the model identification information stored in the SD card and information related to the model selected by the model selection function. Therefore, it is possible to easily compare which model the setting currently stored in the SD card is, and which model the model to be currently set is. For example, it is possible to easily know whether the model is correctly selected. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.

  It has a function of displaying information related to the model based on the model identification information stored in the SD card or information related to the model selected by the model selection function as a picture instead of a character string. For example, it has a function of displaying any one of a picture of a motorcycle, a picture of a truck, and a picture of a passenger car. Therefore, it is possible to easily prevent errors more intuitively. Therefore, a user-friendly system can be realized.
