<Structure example 15>
A program for realizing the function of the electronic device according to any one of the configuration examples 1 to 13 in a computer.

According to the electronic device of the invention of the configuration example 1, the user can recognize the information about the vehicle for a predetermined traveling period only by looking at the schedule displayed on the schedule management system.

The electronic device can be installed in a vehicle, and preferably has a configuration that can be installed in a vehicle owned by a user of the schedule management system. By doing so, it is possible to confirm the information about the vehicle of the owned vehicle for a predetermined traveling period on the display of the schedule management system. Further, it is preferable that the schedule management system can be installed in the vehicle in which the user is the driver. By doing so, it is possible to confirm the information about the vehicle for a predetermined traveling period of the vehicle driven by the self on the display of the schedule management system.

As the time of installation, for example, it may be installed in the vehicle at the time of manufacturing the vehicle, but it may be configured so that it can be installed after the vehicle is purchased. As for the installation, for example, it may be incorporated in a vehicle, but it may be configured to be retrofitted to the vehicle. The installation location is good in the vehicle, and it is particularly good that it can be installed in the vehicle interior. The "installable" may be, for example, a portable electronic device that can be attached to and detached from the vehicle, and may be particularly portable to the driver, but may be fixed to the vehicle. In particular, it should be possible to install it around the driver's seat. For example, it may be possible to install it on the dashboard of a vehicle.

The vehicle may be a two-wheeled vehicle, a four-wheeled vehicle, or the like, but it is preferable that the vehicle is not a commercial vehicle but a private vehicle, and more preferably a personal vehicle. In particular, it is preferable to use a vehicle in which a normal driver is limited to one specific individual. Since the schedule management system is usually a system based on managing an individual's schedule, it is effective when the driver is a vehicle fixed to a specific individual. The schedule management system may be a system for managing the schedules of a plurality of people, but it is preferable that the schedule management system has at least a function for managing the schedules of individuals. Further, the vehicle may be, for example, a four-wheeled vehicle, and in particular, a two-wheeled vehicle. Motorcycles are particularly likely to identify the driver to a particular individual.

The electronic device has other functions different from those of the configuration example 1, and the driving information which is information about the vehicle for a predetermined driving period is all or a part (preferably one) of the information acquired in order to realize the other functions. Part), all or part of the information acquired in order to realize the other functions may be effectively used. For example, as another function, it may be configured to have an alarm display function for the driver and to acquire information for the alarm display or the like. For example, as another function, it is preferable to configure the configuration to include the function of the radar detector, and it is preferable to acquire the information necessary for realizing the function of the radar detector. For example, it is advisable to acquire the current position information of the vehicle.

The schedule management system is Google Calendar, Yahoo! It is recommended to use a system that manages personal schedules such as calendars and Rakuten calendars. In particular, the system may be based on the function of a specific individual to manage the schedule of the individual, and the specific individual may be the driver of the vehicle in which the electronic device of the present invention is installed. In particular, the schedule management system may be a system that has a function of authenticating an individual user and that the authenticated individual inputs his / her own schedule information from a user terminal. Further, when inputting driving information from the electronic device to the schedule management system, it is preferable to have a configuration for authenticating the user authenticated by the user terminal. In this way, the schedule information input from the user's electronic device for confirming the schedule on the user terminal can be displayed only to the user on the user terminal, and the information of another person is input as the schedule of the specific individual. It can be prevented from being done. The schedule management system may be configured by a single terminal (for example, a personal computer), but may be configured by a system including a server on the network and a terminal connected to the network. In particular, it is preferable to configure the configuration so that the traveling information can be used by a plurality of user terminals, and in this way, the convenience of the user is improved.

The schedule should be things associated with the date (dates, appointments, events, errands, etc.). The schedule is even better if it is user-related. The schedule information may be information about the schedule.

The predetermined input format may be, for example, an input format generally used in a schedule management system, and for example, the iCalendar format or the xCal format may be used. As a method of inputting schedule information from the user terminal to the schedule management system, it is preferable to use a method of exchanging schedule information with a predetermined server such as a Web server such as CalDAV. In particular, standardized formats and methods may be used.

The schedule management system stores the schedule information input from the user terminal in a predetermined storage format. For example, it may be in a predetermined file format or a predetermined database format. For example, as each attribute value of a relational database, an attribute value existing in an input format may be provided and stored.

The predetermined input format and the predetermined storage format may be different formats, but may be the same or at least partially common formats.

The schedule information may further include, for example, information elements such as date and time information associated with the schedule, title information related to the content of the schedule, and / or location information associated with the schedule. The predetermined input format and / or storage format of the schedule information may include a number indicating the date and time for the date and time information, may include a text for the title information, and a text indicating the place and / / for the location information. Or it is good to include numbers. The text may have a format, but it is better not to have it. The date and time information should include at least information on the start date and time of the schedule. When the schedule information includes an information element, the predetermined input format and the predetermined storage format may include an identifier indicating the type, length, etc. of the information element.

The schedule management system stores the schedule information input from the user terminal in a predetermined input format in a predetermined storage format, and displays the stored schedule information on the user terminal. As a method of displaying the schedule information on the user terminal so that the user can recognize the schedule, it is preferable to display the schedule information in association with the date and time. In particular, it is preferable to display the schedule information in a plurality of display columns corresponding to the date and time. In this case, it is preferable to display the schedule information in the display column corresponding to the date and time specified by the date and time information of the schedule information. Displaying the title information in association with the date and time is good because it makes it easier for the user to understand the contents of the schedule and the date and time.

As a configuration for inputting schedule information from an electronic device to a schedule management system, it is preferable to input schedule information via a communication path such as a network. The communication method may be wired or wireless, but wireless is better. The communication means may be built in the electronic device, but if it is detachable from the electronic device, the electronic device and the communication means may be sold separately, or a model that includes the electronic device and the communication means or not may be provided. This is particularly good because the price of electronic devices can be reduced and the sales modes can be diversified. A particularly preferable communication means is a memory card with a wireless communication function that can be attached to and detached from an electronic device.

The user terminal may be, in particular, a personal computer or a smartphone.

The "running period" may be, for example, the period from the start to the end of the running of the vehicle. In this way, the schedule management system can easily confirm the running information during the period from the start to the end of the running. The traveling period may be, for example, the period from the on of the ACC to the OFF of the ACC by detecting the on of the ACC and the OFF of the ACC. Further, for example, the state of the engine may be detected and the period from the engine ON to the engine OFF may be set. According to these, the user can easily check the driving information for each period in which the vehicle is considered to have been driven by the schedule management system without manually inputting the user when getting out of the vehicle. Can be done.

The power source for storing the traveling information in the electronic device may be supplied regardless of whether the ACC is turned on or off. Alternatively, for example, it is preferable to have a function of holding the power supply at least after the ACC is turned off until the recording of the traveling information is completed. For example, the electronic device may be provided with a battery so that it can be operated by the battery when the power supply from the vehicle is cut off. Further, an electronic device may be connected to a power supply line that is constantly supplied with power from the vehicle to receive power supply. For example, the power supply to the electronic device may be performed from the OBD connector of the vehicle, and when the engine is turned on, the power supply to the storage unit of the electronic device is started, and the time when the power supply is started is started. The operating state of the vehicle engine is acquired from the OBD connector after the start time of the vehicle running, and when the acquired engine operating state of the vehicle is turned off, that point is stored as the end point of the vehicle running. Performs the process of storing in the unit. After a sufficient amount of time has elapsed for the storage process to be completed (for example, after a considerable amount of time such as 5 minutes), the power supply to the storage unit of the electronic device is cut off. By doing so, it becomes possible to store the traveling information after the ACC is turned off. Then, the stored travel information may be transmitted at that time, but for example, it may be provided with a function of collectively transmitting a predetermined period of time.

The travel information may include one or more information elements. The travel information may include an information element corresponding to the information element included in the schedule information. For example, when the schedule information includes date / time information, title information and / or location information, the traveling information may include date / time information, title information and / or location information corresponding thereto.

When the storage format of the traveling information is the same as or corresponding to the predetermined input format, it may be possible to facilitate the process of adjusting the traveling information to the predetermined input format. For example, when both the traveling information and the schedule information have date and time information as information elements, it is preferable that the storage format and the predetermined input format of both date and time information are the same format (for example, numerical values having the same number of digits).

The date and time information of the traveling information may be, for example, information indicating the date and time during the traveling period (for example, at the start and / or end of the traveling period). The title information of the driving information is, for example, all of the mileage, fuel information, fuel consumption information, speed information, acceleration information, pressure information, temperature information, engine information, inclination information, warning information, satellite information, and tide information during the traveling period. Or it is good to include a part. The location information of the traveling information may be information indicating a location during the traveling period (for example, a position or location at the start and / or end of the traveling period).

The "function of inputting the travel information into the schedule management system in accordance with the predetermined input format" processes all or part of the travel information into the same or corresponding format as the predetermined input format and inputs the information. It should be a function.

All or part of the driving information is a communication line (for example, an in-vehicle network (for example, CAN)) to which a control unit provided in advance in the vehicle is connected for measurement in an electronic device or for controlling the vehicle itself during the driving period. It is preferable that the information is obtained from or processed from the information. By doing so, it becomes possible to store all or part of the traveling information without the need for manual input by the user and display it on the schedule management system.

According to the invention of the configuration example 2, the user obtains the travel date and time information indicating the start date and time or the end date and time of the travel period and the motion information related to the movement of the vehicle acquired during the travel period from the date and time information and the title information of the schedule management system. It can be easily confirmed.

The title information of the schedule management system is often a sentence created by a user so that the contents of the schedule can be understood at a glance. Further, the date and time information of the schedule management system is often, for example, information on the start date and time and / or the end date and time of the schedule.

Generally, in the schedule management system, the viewability of the title information is enhanced by displaying the title information in association with the date and time information. In the invention of the second configuration example, the motion information can be displayed in association with the date and time of the travel date and time information, so that the viewability of the motion information is enhanced to the same level as the schedule information. The user can easily confirm the running date / time information and the movement information only by confirming the title and the start time in the schedule. In particular, it is a schedule management system that has a function to display a list on the user terminal for each predetermined period such as monthly or weekly, and a function to display the title and start time of the schedule in the list. In the schedule management system provided with the above, the excellent effect of being able to check the travel date and time information and the movement information at a glance for each predetermined period unit is exhibited.

In the invention of the configuration example 3, it is possible to display the fuel consumption and / or the mileage in association with the date and time of the travel date and time information. Fuel economy is a time of concern for many drivers. In addition, the mileage is often short (or its fluctuation is small) in daily driving such as commuting and shopping, and the mileage is often long (or its fluctuation is large) in traveling such as travel and homecoming. Therefore, the mileage is useful as a guide when you want to remember what kind of business you ran. By displaying such information as a schedule in association with the date and time of the travel date and time information, the utility value as a travel record or the like can be enhanced.

In the invention of the fourth configuration example, it is possible to display information (end place information) indicating the position or place of the vehicle at the end date and time of the traveling period in association with the date and time of the traveling date and time information. The location of the vehicle at the end date and time of the traveling period is likely to be the destination (destination / destination) of the traveling, and the utility value as a traveling record can be enhanced. Generally, in the schedule management system, there are two fields (start date and time and end date and time) in which date and time information of each schedule can be input, whereas there is one field in which location information can be input. It is considered that this is because the events, events, errands, etc. recorded as a schedule generally occur in one place. Therefore, it can be said that it is unexpected in the schedule management system to handle information such as travel information whose location changes depending on the start date and time and the end date and time of the travel period as schedule information. Further, if there is a schedule in which the place changes between the start date and time and the end date and time, it is considered that the user usually inputs the place of the start date and time. Therefore, it should be said that the invention of the configuration example 4 in which the end place information (the place information of the end date and time) is selected as the place information has a leap in the idea.

The schedule management system may have a function of displaying a map of the area specified by the end location information on the user terminal based on the end location information.

A configuration example in which the electronic device further includes a function of acquiring neighborhood information such as a facility name in the vicinity of the location of the vehicle, and the end location information includes the neighborhood information about the location of the vehicle at the end date and time of the traveling period. Is good. By doing so, the end location information is displayed as neighborhood information that is easy for the user to understand, so that the utility value as a travel record or the like is further increased.

In the invention of the configuration example 5, it is possible to collectively input the running information to the schedule management system, and the connection to the schedule management system is made for each running unit (for example, one running period can be one running unit). There is no need to perform operations. For example, in the case of a configuration in which the connection to the schedule management system is performed by wireless communication, the vehicle is moved to a place where the wireless communication condition is good, the wireless connection is made to the schedule management system, and the driving information is input all at once. Can be done.

In the invention of the configuration example 6, it is possible to specify the traveling information to be collectively input to the schedule management system. This further improves user convenience. The input target selection function may be able to select all the running information stored by the storage function, but it is better if, for example, the running information can be selected on a yearly, monthly or weekly basis. The "selection" may allow the user to arbitrarily select the driving information desired by the user, or may allow the electronic device to automatically select the driving information.

In the invention of the configuration example 7, since the total of the traveling information is displayed on the electronic device, the convenience of the user is improved. The aggregation target selection function may be able to select all the running information stored by the storage function, but it is better if, for example, the running information can be selected on a yearly, monthly, or weekly basis. The "selection" may allow the user to arbitrarily select the driving information desired by the user, or may allow the electronic device to automatically select the driving information. The "aggregation" may be, for example, the number of travel information calculated from a plurality of travel information selected by the aggregation target selection function, the total travel distance, and / or the average of fuel consumption. These are information that are generally of great interest to drivers and improve the utility value of electronic devices.

In the invention of the configuration example 8, it is possible to avoid duplicate input when collectively inputting travel information to the schedule management system, and to achieve effects such as shortening the time required for batch input and reducing the amount of communication.

In the invention of the configuration example 9, since the traveling information already input to the schedule management system is identified based on the file name on the schedule management system, the processing load and the communication amount related to the identification can be reduced. For example, in the case of a schedule management system in which date and time information is used as a file name, the start date and time or end date and time of the travel period is set as the date and time information of the schedule information and the start date and time of the travel period is set to the predetermined input format. The above identification can be easily performed by storing the date and time or the end date and time by the storage function.

In the invention of the configuration example 10, it is possible to deal with the case where the file name cannot be identified.

In the invention of the configuration example 11, since the first information and the second information are acquired without distinction, the process related to the information acquisition is simplified, and the first information is identified when the traveling information already stored in the schedule management system is identified. Since information is not used, the processing load related to identification is reduced.

In the invention of the configuration example 12, it is possible to prevent the schedule information already recorded in the schedule management system from being changed or deleted by inputting the traveling information into the schedule management system by the input function.

In the invention of the configuration example 13, when the driving information is input to the schedule management system, the driving information is stored in the second storage means that cannot be read by the user terminal, but the first storage means that can be read by the user terminal. No memory is required for storage means. Therefore, when the communication means is connected to the user terminal, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the traveling information input to the schedule management system by the input function is displayed on the user terminal against the intention of the user.

The display control of the notification area R2 by the notification area control function in the two-stage display mode will be described by taking the case where the map alarm screen 111 is displayed on the display 15 as an example.

When both the notification target target information and the notification target public control information do not exist, as shown in FIG. 30A, the first notification area 321 is displayed at the first fixed position, but the second notification area 322 is displayed. Not done. The target notification information 319 and the public notification information 320 are not displayed in the first notification area 321 but the steady display 318 is displayed in the stationary unit 321b.

When new notification target target information is generated from the state of FIG. 30A (when there is a transition (transition 1) from the state where the notification target target information exists and the notification target public control information does not exist), GPS. As shown in FIG. 30B, the alarm function displays the target notification information 319 in the first notification area 321. The target notification information 319 is designed in advance so that the entire target notification information 319 can be statically displayed in the space of the notification unit 321a, and is statically displayed in the notification unit 321a. Therefore, the user can stably visually recognize the target notification information 319.

When a new notification target public control information is generated from the state of FIG. 30A (when there is a transition (transition 2) to a state where the notification target public control information exists and the notification target target information does not exist). As shown in FIG. 30C, the public control information display function causes the public notification information 320 for the public control information to be displayed in the first notification area 321.

The transition from the state of FIG. 30 (b) to the state in which the notification target target information does not exist (transition 3), or the transition from the state of FIG. 30 (c) to the state in which the notification target public control information does not exist (transition 4). If there is, the target notification information 319 in FIG. 30 (b) is deleted, or the public notification information 320 in FIG. 30 (c) is deleted, and the state returns to the state of FIG. 30 (a).

In the states of FIGS. 30 (a) to 30 (c), the size (vertical length) of the notification area R2 is constant, and the map warning screen display function has the own vehicle icon 311 (vehicle) directly above the notification area R2. Display the map image so that the current position of) is displayed. This map image is drawn so that the traveling direction side of the vehicle coincides with the upward direction of the display 15.

When there is a transition (transition 5) from the state of FIG. 30B to a state in which both the notification target target information and the notification target public control information exist, the notification area control function is above the first notification area 321. The second notification area 322 is made to appear at the second fixed position of. The appearance of the second notification area 322 moves the second notification area 322 from the first fixed position to the second fixed position as shown in FIG. 31 (a), and then as shown in FIG. 31 (b). In addition, it is performed by stopping at the second fixed position and displaying.

During the movement display and the stop display, the GPS alarm display function displays the target notification information 319 for the notification target target information in the first notification area 321 and the public control information display function in the second notification area 322. The public notification information 320 regarding the notification target public control information is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 31A, in the process of appearance of the second notification area 322, the target notification information 319 is displayed in the overlapping portion of the first notification area 321 and the second notification area 322, but the public notification is publicly notified. Information 320 is not displayed. As a result, the visibility of the target notification information 319 is ensured. Further, through the process of appearance of the second notification area 322, the target notification information 319 is statically displayed at a fixed place. Therefore, the visibility of the target notification information 319 is further improved. In addition, the movement display of the second notification area 322 and the public notification information 320 makes it easier for the user to notice that the transition 5 has occurred.

When there is a transition (transition 6) from the state of FIG. 30C to the state in which both the notification target target information and the notification target public control information exist, the notification area control function is above the first notification area 321. The second notification area 322 is made to appear in. In the process of appearance of the second notification area 322, at the same time as the transition 6 occurs, the public notification information 320 of the first notification area 321 is deleted and the target notification information 319 is displayed. As a result, the display of the vehicle information screen 111 and the like is as shown in FIG. 30 (b).

After that, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), the second notification area 322 displaying the public notification information 320 is moved and displayed from the first fixed position to the second fixed position, and then shown in FIG. 31 (b). As described above, the appearance of the second notification area 322 is performed by stopping and displaying the second notification area 322 at the second fixed position, and the processing during this period is the same as that of the transition 5. Therefore, as in the case of the transition 5, the visibility of the target notification information 319 is secured and improved, and the recognition that the public notification information 320 is newly displayed is improved. In addition, since the target notification information 319 is displayed at the same time as the transition 6 (FIG. 30B), the user can confirm the target notification information 319 from the time of the transition 6.

When there is a transition (transition 7) from a state in which both the notification target target information and the notification target public control information exist (FIG. 31 (b)) to a state in which only the notification target target information exists, the second The notification area 322 is erased. In this erasure, first, as shown in FIG. 32 (a), the public notification information 320 in the second notification area 322 is deleted, and then the second notification area 322 is moved and displayed from the second fixed position to the first fixed position. It is done by doing. FIG. 32 (b) shows a state in the middle of the movement display. The state in which the erasure of the second notification area 322 is completed is the same as in FIG. 30 (b).

As shown in FIGS. 32 (a) and 32 (b), the blank semi-transparent notification area R2 becomes narrower in the process of movement display, so that the user can easily notice that the transition 7 has occurred. .. During this period, since the target notification information 319 remains displayed at the first fixed position, the visibility of the target notification information 319 during this period is maintained.

When there is a transition (transition 8) from a state in which both the notification target target information and the notification target public control information exist (FIG. 31 (b)) to a state in which only the public control information exists, the second notification Erase area 322. In this erasure, first, the target information 319 in the first notification area 321 is erased (FIG. 33 (a)), and then, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), the second notification area 322 is changed from the second fixed position. It is performed by moving and displaying toward one fixed position and stopping and displaying the second notification area 322 at the second fixed position as shown in FIG. 33 (c).

In the process of this movement display, the public notification information 320 is displayed in the second notification area 322, but as shown in FIGS. 33 (b) and 33 (c), the steady display 318 and the public notification information 320 are displayed. In the overlapping area, only the stationary display 318 is displayed. This ensures the visibility of the steady-state display 318.

With the movement display of the second notification area 322 in the transitions 5 and 6, the notification area R2 becomes wider, and therefore the boundary 323 between the notification area R2 and the area outside the notification area R2 moves upward on the display screen. .. On the other hand, with the movement display of the second notification area 322 in the transitions 7 and 8, the notification area R2 becomes narrower, and therefore the boundary 323 moves downward.

When moving the boundary 323, the map warning screen display function draws a map image so that the position of the own vehicle icon 311 (current position of the vehicle) in the map image is maintained directly above the notification area R2. That is, the own vehicle icon 311 is moved upward (downward) in conjunction with the upward (downward) movement of the boundary 323. The moving speed of the boundary 323 and the moving speed of the own vehicle icon 311 are the same. As a result, the map image on the traveling direction side of the current position is displayed in the entire area outside the notification area R2 (or a wider part of the outside area), and a map image more useful for the driving user is displayed. be able to.

On the other hand, even if the boundary 323 is moved, the standby screen display function does not move the standby screen. This keeps the standby screen easy to see.

In the one-stage display mode, the notification area R2 is composed of only the first notification area 321, and the notification unit 321a displays the target information 319 or the public notification information 320 according to a predetermined priority.

FIG. 34 shows a display example of the radar wave warning function. This radar wave warning function is performed when a signal corresponding to a microwave in a frequency band emitted from a speed measuring device (mobile radar or the like (hereinafter, simply referred to as “radar”)) is detected by the microwave receiver 24. This is an alarm function that displays the radar wave alarm display 330 on the vehicle information screen 111 or the like on the display 15 and outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 26. For example, when microwaves in the microwave frequency band emitted by the radar are detected by the microwave receiver 24, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), a schematic diagram or photograph 331 of the radar stored in the database 29 is shown. In addition to displaying it as an alarm screen on the display 15, the voice data stored in the database 29 is read out and the voice "Radar. Speed caution" is output from the speaker 26. The displayed distance may be, for example, a distance estimated from the electric field strength.

The radar wave warning function has a cancel function.

The cancel function is a function that determines that the radar wave received near the same point is erroneous information depending on the reception status of radar waves, microwaves, etc. near the same point, and prevents the radar wave warning function from issuing an alarm. be. Specifically, the cancel function memorizes the reception history of the radar wave after traveling in the range of 200 m at the point when the radar wave is received, and when the radar wave is received more than a certain frequency, the point is canceled. Store as cancellation data.

The cancellation data can be exported to the memory card 60, and the user can take over the cancellation data using the memory card 60 when the radar detector 10 is replaced or the like. It is also possible to upload the cancellation data to the service server 80 or the like, and to provide the cancellation data uploaded by a large number of users to the users as big data.

The wireless alarm function is a function of issuing an alarm when the wireless receiver 25 receives a radio wave emitted by an emergency vehicle or the like so as not to interfere with the traveling or the like. In the radio alarm function, control radio, car location radio, digital radio, extra small radio, station activity radio, police phone, police activity radio, wrecker radio, heli-tele radio, fire heli-tele radio, fire radio, emergency radio, highway radio , The frequency of the security radio, etc. is scanned, and when the radio is received at the scanned frequency, the schematic diagram indicating that the radio corresponding to the frequency stored in the database 29 for each radio type is received is used as the alarm screen. While displaying on the display 15, the voice data stored in the database 29 for each radio type is read out, and the alarm voice indicating the radio type is output from the speaker 26. For example, when a crackdown radio is received, a voice is output like "It is a crackdown radio. Be careful of speed."

The alarm limiting function is a function that limits the operation of the radar wave warning function, the radio warning function, the GPS warning function, and the like under specific conditions. Specific conditions can be set by operating the menu window 210 or a menu window in a lower layer thereof. For example, when the vehicle speed is 30 km / h or less, or when the radar wave or the like is weak, it is possible to set not to output the warning by all or part of the radar wave warning function, the radio warning function, and the GPS warning function. be.

The restriction release function is a function to cancel the restriction by the alarm restriction function under specific conditions. For example, when the zone 30 exists as the target information to be notified, the radar detector 10 gives an alarm by the radar wave alarm function, the radio alarm function, and the GPS alarm function regardless of the setting of the alarm restriction function. This makes it possible to give an alarm to the user even when the vehicle speed is 30 km / h or less and the radar wave or the like is weak.

The driving information log function creates a database 29 of driving information generated based on information such as the current position, current time, and speed (vehicle speed) output from the GNSS receiver 23 and control information of the vehicle 4 output from the OBD2 connector. It is a function to store as a log file in. The travel information log function stores travel information for each travel period, with the period from the time when the ACC of the vehicle 4 is turned on to the next time when the ACC is turned off as one travel period. The on / off of ACC is detected by the signal from the OBD2 connector. Since the power supply from the OBD2 connector to the radar detector 10 is continuously performed for a predetermined time after the ACC switch is turned off, it is possible to store the traveling information when the ACC switch is turned off. ..

The travel information log function generates one travel information for one travel period and stores it in the database 29. FIG. 35A shows an example of traveling information. As shown in the figure, each running information includes running start date and time, running end date and time, running time, running start latitude, running start longitude, running end latitude, running end longitude, mileage, running remaining fuel, running remaining at the end of running. It has information elements such as fuel and fuel consumption. Each travel information may include other information elements.

The travel start date and time and the travel end date and time indicate the date and time when the ACC is turned on and off, respectively. The date and time are measured by a timer or the like included in the GNSS receiver 23. The running time is calculated as the time from the running start date and time to the running end date and time.

For the travel start latitude, travel start longitude, travel end latitude, and travel end longitude, the latitude / longitude of the current position output from the GNSS receiver 23 when the ACC is turned on and off is recorded, respectively.

The mileage is the distance traveled by the vehicle 4 during the travel period from when the ACC is turned on to when the ACC is turned off. The mileage can be calculated based on the rotation speed of the axle of the vehicle 4 output from the OBD2 connector. It is also possible to calculate based on the output from the GNSS receiver 23.

The remaining fuel at the start of running and the remaining fuel at the end of running are the remaining fuel in the fuel tank of the vehicle 4 at the time when the ACC is turned on and off, respectively. The remaining fuel amount can be calculated from the output from the OBD2 connector (measurement signal of a fuel meter or the like).

The fuel consumption can be calculated from the mileage, the remaining fuel at the start of running, and the remaining fuel at the end of running.

The travel information log function stores one month's worth of travel information in the database 29 as one log file. The CSV file format is used as the file format. FIG. 35 (b) shows the part of the file structure of the database 29 related to the log file. As shown in the figure, subfolders ("2013", "2014", etc.) for each year are created in the lower layer of the folder named "crmgr", and "01.csv", "02.csv", etc. are created in each subfolder. The log file is stored. The numbers (“01”, “02”, etc.) in the name of the log file indicate the month in which the travel information of the log file was acquired.

As for the wireless communication function, the radar detector 10 uses the SD card function, the wireless LAN function, the Internet connection function, etc. of the memory card 60 mounted on the memory card reader / writer 20, and the memory card 60, the smartphone 50, and the schedule server 90. It is a variety of functions realized by sending and receiving data to and from. The wireless communication function includes a calendar setting function, a total display function, a first input function, a second input function, a wireless setting function, a social network server posting function, an AP mode function, and the like.

The calendar setting function is a function of setting a user account, a password, and a calendar ID for the radar detector 10 to access the schedule server 90 in the radar detector 10.

36 (a), (b) and 37 (a) show a setting screen 507, a WLAN screen 508 and a calendar screen 509 to be displayed on the display 15 by the control unit 28. The setting screen 507 is the setting screen 211 described with reference to FIG. 17 and the like. The WLAN screen 508 is displayed by operating the WLAN button 507a on the setting screen 507, and the calendar screen 509 is displayed by operating the calendar button 508a on the WLAN screen 508.

Hereinafter, for the parts described as "operate" and "displayed" from the viewpoint of a person, the control unit 28 accepts such an operation and shows the result of performing the process of performing such a display. It is.

On the calendar screen 509, buttons for account setting 509a, password setting 509b, calendar ID setting 509c, setting 509d from a file, and setting deletion 509e are displayed.

When the setting 509d is selected from the file on the calendar screen 509, a file having a predetermined name (for example, "a.txt") is read from the root folder of the second flash memory 66 of the memory card 60. The user account, password and calendar ID need to be stored in the file in a predetermined format and order as described below.
xxxx@yyyy.com <line feed>
ZZZZZZZ <line feed>
xxxx@group.calendar.yyyy.com
In the above example, the first line is a user account, the second line is a password, and the third line is a calendar ID.

When the reading is normally performed, the confirmation screen 510a shown in FIG. 37 (b) is displayed on the display 15, and by selecting "Yes", the processing completion message screen 510b is displayed and the reading is performed. The user account, password and calendar ID are stored in the database 29. The control unit 28 displays the message screen 510b for a certain period of time, and then causes the display 15 to display the calendar screen 509.

When the account setting 509a, the password setting 509b, or the calendar ID setting 509c is selected on the calendar screen 509, the input screens 512a to 512c (FIG. 38) for setting the user account, password, or calendar ID are displayed on the display 15. The user can manually input these information.

By selecting Delete 509e of the setting on the calendar screen 509, it is possible to delete the user account, password and calendar ID stored in the database 29.

The aggregation function is a function for displaying the aggregation data of the traveling information stored in the database 29 on the display 15.

When the monthly recording button 507b is touched on the setting screen 507 shown in FIG. 36, the control unit 28 causes the display 15 to display the monthly recording data screen 513 shown in FIG. 39 (a).

On the monthly record data screen 511, the monthly aggregate data column 513a calculated from the travel information of the database 29 is displayed. In the example of the figure, the running information acquired in one month of May 2014, that is, the aggregated data of all the running information in the log file recorded for the same month is displayed.

More specifically, in the aggregated data column 513a, the year / month, the number of operations, the mileage, and the average fuel consumption are displayed. The year and month is the year and month when the driving information in the log file was acquired. The number of operations is the number of travel information in the target log file. The mileage is an added value of the mileage of all the mileage information in the target log file. The average fuel consumption is the average value of the fuel consumption for all the driving information in the target log file. In the following, the year and month displayed in the aggregated data column 513a will be referred to as a "target year and month", and the log file of the target year and month will be referred to as a "target log file".

By operating the previous month button 513b / next month button 513b on the monthly record data screen 513, it is possible to display the aggregated data column 513a for the log file of the previous month / next month. Further, when the detail button 513d is operated on the monthly record data screen 513, the month management data detail screen 514 (FIG. 39 (b)) displaying the details of the traveling information in the target log file can be displayed. As shown in the figure, on the monthly management data detail screen 514, the acquisition date / time, the mileage, and the fuel consumption of the mileage information are displayed in a list format for each mileage information recorded in the target log file. The acquisition date and time displayed here may be the travel start date and time.

The first input function is a function of collectively inputting (transmitting / uploading) a plurality of traveling information stored in the database 29 to the schedule server 90 by using the Internet connection function. By having this function, the user does not need to perform an operation of connecting to the schedule server 90 for each traveling period. Therefore, the vehicle can be moved to a place where the connection to the Internet 2 is good, and the schedule server 90 can collectively input the traveling information.

The first input function of the present embodiment is included in the log file (target log file) of the target year and month at that time when the My Calendar button 513e is operated on the monthly recording data screen 513 shown in FIG. 39 (a). Send multiple driving information at once.

In this process, in response to the operation to the My Calendar button 513e, the control unit 28 first accesses the schedule server 90 using the Internet connection function and the user account, password, and calendar ID stored in the database 29, and the second 1 Acquire identification information for identifying the travel information that has been input to the schedule server 90 in the past by the input function.

As this identification information, the UID of each schedule information stored in the storage area 95 designated by the calendar ID is used. The identification information may be acquired only for the target year and month. The acquired identification information is stored in the second flash memory 66 of the memory card 60. While the identification information is being acquired, the control unit 28 notifies the user of the processing status by displaying the notification screen 515a shown in FIG. 40 on the display 15.

FIG. 41 shows an example of the http request method transmitted to the schedule server 90 and the http response transmitted from the schedule server 90 in response to the acquisition of the identification information. Since there is no Content-Length in the response, the memory card 60 is networkerr (0x82), but the status code (207) in the file can be confirmed and OK.

When the acquisition of the identification information is completed, the control unit 28 collates the data portion indicating the date and time included in the acquired identification information (UID) with the travel start date and time of each travel information of the target log file stored in the database 29. Only the driving information that does not match any of the character strings indicating the date and time included in the acquired identification information is extracted. (Driving information that matches the two is ignored.)

When the extraction of the travel information by the above is completed, the control unit 28 creates transmission data by processing each of the extracted travel information into a predetermined input format. The processing of the traveling information is performed by calculating, tagging, arranging, and the like the information elements included in the traveling information.

As described above, based on the date and time of the identification information (UID) acquired from the schedule server 90 and the date and time of each travel information in the target log file, the travel information transmitted to the schedule server 90 in the past is excluded to the schedule server 90. Since batch input is performed, reduction of time, processing load, communication volume, etc. related to batch input is achieved. Further, since the travel information transmitted in the past is identified by using only the identification information (UID) portion in the schedule information, the processing load, the communication amount, and the like related to the identification can be reduced. Further, when the travel information of the schedule server 90 is input, the schedule information stored in the schedule server 90 is not changed or deleted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the schedule information input by the user from the user terminal 100 or the like to the schedule server 90 from being changed or deleted.

FIG. 42 shows an exemplary content of transmission data created from travel information. In the figure, "AAACL201405525T182650" tagged with "UID" is identification information of traveling information to be transmitted. The identification information is composed of a user ID (“AAACAL”) and a character string (“20140525T182650”) indicating the travel start date and time of the travel information. The travel start date and time and the travel end date and time are tagged with "DTSTART; TZID = Asia / Tokyo" and "DTEND; TZID = Asia / Tokyo", respectively. The "distance 0.3 km (12.8 km / l)" tagged with "SUMMARY" is the title information. The title information is created using the mileage and fuel consumption of the driving information. "35.674608, 139.590805" tagged with "LOCATION" is location information. The location information indicates the running end latitude and the running end longitude.

The data format of the schedule information to be transmitted is iCalendar. "BEGIN: VCALENDAR", "BEGIN: VEVENT", "DESCRIPTION:", "END: VEVENT", "END: VCALENDAR" and the like are headers and hooders for identifying the start and end of schedule information.

The predetermined input format is the same as the predetermined input format used when transmitting the schedule information from the user terminal 100 or the like described with reference to FIG. 14B to the schedule server 90.

The transmission data created as described above is transmitted to the URL of the storage area 95 on the schedule server 90 specified by the calendar ID. The destination URL is created by combining the URL of the storage area 95 (https://www.calender.com/calender/dav/ZZname@Mail.com/events) and the identification information of the schedule information. Schedule information may be transmitted in CalDAV standard or the like using WebDAV.

At the time of the above transmission, the transmission data is temporarily stored in the RAM 64 of the memory card 60, but since the RAM 64 cannot be read from an external device such as the user terminal 100 via the card reader, the memory card 60 is used as the user terminal. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the travel information transmitted to the schedule server 90 when connected to the 100 or the like is displayed on the user terminal 100 or the like against the intention of the user.

The control unit 28 notifies the user of the processing status by displaying the notification screens 515b to 515d shown in FIG. 40 on the display 15 while the travel information is being transmitted to the schedule server 90 as described above.

The schedule server 90 extracts the information element included in the travel information by parsing the travel information transmitted by the first input function, and stores it as schedule information in the storage format described with respect to FIG. 12. .. As a result, the schedule server 90 can display the travel information input from the radar detector 10 by the first input function as schedule information on the calendar screen 510. The user can browse the calendar screen 510 displayed in this way on the user terminal 100 or the like, and the user can determine by simply looking at the record 501d displayed on the user terminal 100 or the like by the network system 1. It is possible to recognize information about the vehicle during the traveling period, and it is possible to use the traveling information automatically acquired by the radar detector 10 as the past traveling history.

If the radar detector 10 is installed in the vehicle 4 owned by the user 5, the network system 1 can confirm the information about the vehicle in the predetermined traveling period of the owned vehicle. In addition, it is possible to confirm information about the vehicle of the vehicle 4 driven by the user 5 himself / herself for a predetermined traveling period. If the radar detector 10 is detachable from the vehicle 4, the sales mode of the radar detector 10 can be diversified.

Since the driving information for each driving period is recorded with the period from the time when the ACC of the vehicle 4 is turned on to the next time when the ACC is turned off as one driving period, the user can use the vehicle from the start to the end of the driving. The traveling information of the period can be easily confirmed, and the user can confirm the traveling information for each period in which the vehicle is considered to have been driven on the user terminal 100 or the like without manually inputting each time.

FIGS. 43 to 45 show how the calendar screen 501 changes as the travel information is transmitted by the first input function. As shown in the figure, every time the driving information is transmitted, the record 501d displaying the driving start time and the title information of the transmitted driving information is added to the date display field 501a corresponding to the driving start date and time of the driving information. It will be displayed. For example, the record 501d for the travel information whose travel start date and time is 8:21 on May 28, 2014 is displayed in the display column 501a on May 28. In this way, the user can confirm the date and time of driving by the date and time of the display field 501a and the operation start time, and can confirm the movement information such as the mileage and the fuel consumption from the title information.

The calendar screen 501 can be updated from FIG. 43 to FIG. 45 by pulling down "Other" displayed in the upper right of the screen as shown in FIG. 46 and selecting "Update".

As shown in FIG. 47, by clicking any record 501d of the running information (schedule information) on the calendar screen 501, the detailed window 501g for the record 501d can be popped up and displayed.

Further, on the calendar screen 501, by adjusting the display period by operating the change button 501c, it is possible to display the record 501d as a band up to the running start time and the running end time as shown in FIG. 48 (a). Is. This makes it easy to visually grasp the traveling time.

In the detailed window 501g, the travel start date / time, the travel end date / time (start date / time and end date / time of the schedule information), and the location information in the travel information corresponding to the record 501d are displayed. The location information is a numerical value indicating the running end latitude and the running end longitude, and by clicking the link 501h of the "map" of the detailed window 501g, these can be sent to the web service of the map server (not shown) on the Internet 2.
