[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a vehicle 2 equipped with an in-vehicle video recording device 1 according to the first embodiment is running on a road. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a situation when an event occurs in the vehicle 2 equipped with the vehicle-mounted video recording device 1 according to the first embodiment. Since the configuration of the in-vehicle video recording device 1 will be described later in detail in FIG. 3, it will be briefly described here.

As shown in FIG. 1, an in-vehicle video recording device 1 is mounted in a vehicle 2. As shown in FIG. The in-vehicle video recording device 1 includes an imaging device such as a camera for capturing images around the running vehicle 2, and a sensor such as an acceleration sensor for measuring physical quantities that occur in the vehicle 2 due to sudden braking, sudden steering, collisions, and the like. Prepare. The in-vehicle video recording device 1 temporarily stores an image of the surroundings of the running vehicle 2 captured by the imaging device in a main memory such as a DRAM mounted on the substrate of the in-vehicle video recording device 1. - 特許庁

As shown in FIG. 2, when the vehicle 2 collides with the forward vehicle 3, the in-vehicle video recording device 1 detects that an event has occurred in the vehicle 2 based on the magnitude of the physical quantity measured by the sensor. The in-vehicle video recording device 1 is a non-volatile memory in which, when it detects that an event has occurred in the vehicle 2, the video including the image at the time of the event occurrence held in the main memory is stored in the in-vehicle video recording device 1. Record in the first storage unit and the second storage unit.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the in-vehicle video recording device 1 according to the first embodiment. The in-vehicle video recording device 1 includes a main memory 10, a first storage unit 11, a second storage unit 12, an imaging device 13, a sensor 14, a positioning unit 15, a communication unit 16, operation buttons 17, a display unit 18, and a control unit. 19.

The main memory 10 is a volatile memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) mounted on the substrate of the in-vehicle video recording device 1 . The main storage memory 10 temporarily holds the video captured by the imaging device 13 .

The first storage unit 11 is a non-volatile memory in which accesses such as browsing and deletion of data such as recorded images by a person concerned such as a driver are not particularly restricted. As the first storage unit 11, for example, an SD card, a USB memory, or the like used in a general drive recorder can be used. The first storage unit 11 may be removable media that can be removed from the in-vehicle video recording device 1 . This allows the user to carry the video recorded in the first storage unit 11 with him.

The second storage unit 12 is a non-volatile memory in which access to viewing, deleting, etc. of data such as recorded images is restricted. and access such as deletion is permitted. This predetermined authentication process is determined by the control unit 19 . The predetermined authentication process is not disclosed to the parties concerned such as the driver, but is disclosed only to the police or a special person who performs the predetermined authentication process with the cooperation of the police. Therefore, in the in-vehicle video recording device 1 of the present embodiment, the video recorded in the second storage unit 12 is prevented from being altered or deleted by the person concerned.

Further, the second storage unit 12 is built in the housing of the in-vehicle video recording device 1 so that its existence itself is hidden. For this reason, the person concerned such as the driver cannot know the existence of the second storage unit 12. Therefore, in the in-vehicle video recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the video stored in the second storage unit 12 is stored in each storage medium. Prevents being taken away. Therefore, for example, the second storage unit 12 can be a memory circuit such as a flash memory mounted on a substrate inside the housing of the vehicle-mounted video recording device 1 .

Since the second storage unit 12 is built in the housing of the in-vehicle video recording device 1 , its storage capacity is usually smaller than that of the first storage unit 11 . However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the storage capacity of the second storage section 12 may be equal to or greater than the storage capacity of the first storage section 11 .

The imaging device 13 captures an image around the running vehicle 2 and outputs the image to the control unit 19 . The imaging device 13 can be, for example, a camera provided in a general drive recorder. Note that the in-vehicle video recording device 1 may not have the imaging device 13 . In this case, the imaging device 13 can be a camera for driving support provided in the vehicle 2 . The imaging device 13 may be arranged outside the in-vehicle video recording device 1. For example, the imaging device 13 may be arranged at a position where it is easy to shoot an image in front of the vehicle 2, and the shot image may be sent to the controller 19 via a wireless or wired connection. can be output to

The sensor 14 measures physical quantities such as acceleration and angular velocity generated in the vehicle 2 and outputs them to the control unit 19 . The sensor 14 can be, for example, an acceleration sensor provided in a general drive recorder. Note that the vehicle-mounted video recording device 1 may not have the sensor 14 . In this case, sensor 14 can be an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor provided on vehicle 2 . The sensor 14 may be arranged outside the in-vehicle video recording device 1. For example, the sensor 14 may be arranged in front of the vehicle 2 where it is easy to sense the impact caused by a collision or the like, and the physical quantity such as the measured acceleration or angular velocity may be detected by the vehicle 2. You may output to the control part 19 via ECU(Electronic Control Unit).

The positioning unit 15 acquires the current position of the vehicle 2 and outputs it to the control unit 19 . As the positioning unit 15, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver is used.

The communication unit 16 is used as one of means for performing authentication processing for accessing the video recorded in the second storage unit 12, and provides an interface for receiving an authentication signal for performing authentication processing from an external device. offer. The authentication signal received via communication section 16 is output to control section 19 . The communication unit 16 may be a communication interface circuit generally included in drive recorders, and may be, for example, a serial communication interface circuit. Thereby, the user can perform authentication processing for accessing the video recorded in the second storage unit 12 via the communication unit 16 generally provided in the drive recorder.

The operation button 17 is used as one of means for performing authentication processing for accessing the video recorded in the second storage unit 12, and provides an interface for the user to perform operations for performing authentication processing. An operation performed by the user on the operation button 17 is output to the control unit 19 . The operation button 17 may be a hardware button generally provided in a drive recorder, and may be, for example, a power button and up, down, left, and right direction buttons provided in the in-vehicle video recording apparatus 1 . As a result, the user can use the operation button 17 generally provided in the drive recorder to perform the authentication process for accessing the video recorded in the second storage unit 12 .

The display unit 18 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display, and is used to reproduce and display the images recorded in the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12 . For example, when the user operates a play button, which is one of the operation buttons 17, the control unit 19 reads the video recorded in the first storage unit 11 and causes the display unit 18 to play and display the video. Further, after access to the video recorded in the second storage unit 12 is permitted by the access authentication unit 192 described later, the control unit 19 reads out the video recorded in the second storage unit 12 and displays it on the display unit 18 . to play and display.

The control unit 19 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and executes a program for control and calculation performed by the in-vehicle video recording apparatus 1 . The control section 19 has a recording control section 191 and an access authentication section 192 . The recording control unit 191 and the access authentication unit 192 can be software modules or firmware executed by the control unit 19, for example.

The operations of the recording control unit 191 and the access authentication unit 192 will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of recording control processing in the vehicle-mounted video recording device 1 according to the first embodiment. The recording control process shown in FIG. 4 is executed at regular processing intervals, for example, after the in-vehicle video recording device 1 is activated or after the vehicle 2 starts running.

The recording control unit 191 stores the image around the vehicle 2 captured by the imaging device 13 in the main memory 10 (step S11). At this time, the in-vehicle video recording apparatus 1, for example, uses the main memory 10 as a ring buffer so that the old video is overwritten with the new video, and the video from at least a certain period of time up to the current time is stored in the main memory. Let it be held at 10.

Next, the recording control unit 191 determines whether or not the magnitude of the physical quantity representing the change in behavior of the vehicle 2 measured by the sensor 14 exceeds the first threshold (step S12). Here, the physical quantity representing the change in behavior of the vehicle 2 can be, for example, the acceleration occurring in the vehicle 2 or the angular velocity of the yaw angle, pitch angle, and roll angle of the vehicle 2 . As a result, for example, events related to changes in the behavior of the vehicle 2, such as sudden braking, sudden steering, and collision, are detected. When the magnitude of the physical quantity of the vehicle 2 measured by the sensor 14 is equal to or less than the first threshold value (step S12: No), the recording control unit 191 determines that no event has occurred in the vehicle 2, and end the recording control process in . The first threshold is set for each type of physical quantity measured by the sensor 14, for example, based on measurements performed in advance.

On the other hand, when the magnitude of the physical quantity of the vehicle 2 measured by the sensor 14 exceeds the first threshold (step S12: Yes), the recording control section 191 determines that an event has occurred in the vehicle 2 . When the recording control unit 191 detects that an event has occurred in the vehicle 2, the recording control unit 191 records, in the first storage unit 11, the image for a certain period immediately before the event occurrence held in the main memory 10 (step S13). Subsequently, the recording control unit 191 similarly records the video captured during a certain period immediately after the occurrence of the event in the first storage unit 11 .

At this time, the recording control unit 191 stores the physical quantity measured by the sensor 14, such as acceleration or angular velocity, which indicates changes in the behavior of the vehicle 2 before and after the occurrence of the event, and the position of the vehicle 2 acquired by the positioning unit 15. , may be recorded in the first storage unit 11 in the same manner.

Next, the recording control unit 191 determines whether or not the magnitude of the physical quantity of the vehicle 2 measured by the sensor 14 exceeds a second threshold that is larger than the first threshold (step S14). Similar to the first threshold, the second threshold is set for each type of physical quantity measured by the sensor 14 based on measurements performed in advance. For example, this second threshold is set to a value approximately equal to the measured value measured by the sensor 14 when the vehicle 2 collides.

When the magnitude of the measured value of the physical quantity does not exceed the second threshold (step S14: No), the recording control unit 191 determines that the degree of the event that occurred is not serious from the viewpoint of the measured value of the physical quantity. I judge. However, the recording control unit 191 also judges the degree of the event that has occurred from another point of view.

For example, the recording control unit 191 determines the degree of the event that has occurred by analyzing the video. In this embodiment, the recording control unit 191 determines whether or not the amount of information change in the video when the event occurs exceeds a predetermined amount (step S15). As is well known in the analysis of encoded video, a sudden increase in the amount of video information at a certain time means that a large change has occurred in the video at that time. For example, in a situation where a vehicle 2 collides with a forward vehicle 3 as shown in FIG. The color of 3 changes, and the amount of information in the video increases rapidly. Therefore, the recording control unit 191 can estimate the extent of the event that has occurred by determining whether the amount of information change in the video when the event occurs exceeds a predetermined amount. Here, the predetermined amount to be compared with the video information change amount is set based on the measurement performed in advance.

More specifically, the recording control unit 191 first performs a motion search between the current frame image and the previous frame image for each frame image that constitutes the captured video when the event occurred. Then, the recording control unit 191 generates a difference image whose pixel value is the absolute value of the difference between the pixel value of the current frame image after motion compensation and the pixel value of the previous frame image, and each pixel value of the generated difference image. is the amount of information change in the frame image. This inter-frame prediction can use, for example, a P-frame (Predicted Frame) technique in which inter-frame prediction is performed using only forward prediction used in MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). The recording control unit 191 makes the determination in step S15 using the amount of information change of the frame images forming the video as the amount of information change of the video.

When the amount of information change in the video when the event occurs does not exceed the predetermined amount (step S15: No), the recording control unit 191 determines that the degree of the event that occurred is not serious even by analyzing the video. is determined, and the recording control processing in this processing cycle ends.

On the other hand, when the information change amount of the video at the time of event occurrence exceeds a predetermined amount (step S15: Yes), or when the magnitude of the measured value of the physical quantity exceeds the second threshold (step S14: Yes) , the recording control unit 191 determines that the degree of the event that has occurred is serious. Then, the recording control unit 191 determines whether or not there is remaining storage capacity in the second storage unit 12 in order to record the video in the second storage unit 12 (step S16).

If there is no remaining storage capacity in the second storage unit 12 (step S16: No), the recording control unit 191 selects a video image having a lower priority than the video to be stored in the second storage unit 12. (step S17). This priority is calculated, for example, as a value proportional to the maximum value of the physical quantity measured by the sensor 14 during the period in which the image is being captured, and recorded in the second storage unit 12 together with the corresponding image.

If a video with a lower priority exists in the second storage unit 12 (step S17: Yes), the recording control unit 191 permits overwriting of the video with a lower priority (step S18). On the other hand, if a video with a lower priority does not exist in the second storage unit 12 (step S17: No), the recording control unit 191 does not record the video in the second storage unit 12, and performs recording control processing in this processing cycle. exit.

If overwriting of video with low priority is permitted, or if there is remaining storage capacity in the second storage unit 12 (step S16: Yes), the recording control unit 191 detects the occurrence of an event held in the main storage memory 10. The image for a certain period immediately before is recorded in the second storage unit 12 (step S19). Subsequently, the recording control unit 191 similarly records the video captured during a certain period immediately after the occurrence of the event in the second storage unit 12 . Then, the recording control unit 191 ends the recording control processing in this processing cycle.

At this time, the recording control unit 191 stores the physical quantity measured by the sensor 14, such as acceleration or angular velocity, which indicates changes in the behavior of the vehicle 2 before and after the occurrence of the event, and the position of the vehicle 2 acquired by the positioning unit 15. , may be similarly recorded in the second storage unit 12 .

Note that if the storage capacity of the second storage unit 12 is equal to or greater than the storage capacity of the first storage unit 11, in step S13, the recording control unit 191 stores the image at the time of event occurrence in the first storage unit 11 and You may record in both of the 2nd memory|storage parts 12. FIG. In this case, the processing after step S14 is omitted.

Further, when the storage capacity of the second storage unit 12 is equal to or greater than the storage capacity of the first storage unit 11, the recording control unit 191 applies the processes after step S16 to the first storage unit 11. may

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of authentication processing for accessing the second storage unit 12 in the vehicle-mounted video recording device 1 according to the first embodiment. The authentication process shown in FIG. 5 is executed, for example, after the vehicle-mounted video recording device 1 is powered on and activated. At this time, the in-vehicle video recording device 1 may remain mounted on the vehicle 2 or may be removed from the vehicle 2 .

When the in-vehicle video recording device 1 is activated (step S21), the access authentication unit 192 determines whether or not a certain period of time has passed since the in-vehicle video recording device 1 was activated (step S22). If a certain period of time has passed since the in-vehicle video recording device 1 was activated (step S22: Yes), the access authentication section 192 terminates the authentication process. In this way, by restricting the authentication process for accessing the second storage unit 12 to a certain period after the in-vehicle video recording device 1 is activated, accidental authentication process can be avoided. be.

On the other hand, if a certain period of time has not passed since the in-vehicle video recording device 1 was activated (step S22: No), the access authentication unit 192 determines whether authentication processing has been performed (step S23). For example, the access authentication unit 192 determines that authentication processing has been performed when a plurality of operation buttons 17 are operated in a predetermined order or combination. Alternatively, the access authentication section 192 determines that the authentication process has been performed when a predetermined authentication signal is received via the communication section 16 . As a result, the user can use the operation button 17 generally provided in the drive recorder or via the communication unit 16 to perform the authentication process for accessing the video recorded in the second storage unit 12. can.

If the authentication process is not executed (step S23: No), the access authentication unit 192 repeats steps S22 to S23 until a certain period of time has passed since the in-vehicle video recording device 1 was activated.

On the other hand, if authentication processing has been performed (step S23: Yes), the access authentication unit 192 permits access to the second storage unit 12 (step S24). Then, the access authentication unit 192 displays on the display unit 18 that the access to the second storage unit 12 is permitted. At this time, the access authentication section 192 may display a list of videos recorded in the second storage section 12 on the display section 18 .

As described above, when the in-vehicle video recording device of the present embodiment detects that an event such as sudden braking, sudden steering, or a collision has occurred in the vehicle, the video including the image at the time of the event occurrence is stored in the first storage unit and the second storage unit. 2 Record in the memory. Here, the first storage unit is a non-volatile memory in which access to recorded data is not particularly restricted, and the second storage unit allows access to recorded data only when a predetermined authentication process is performed. Internal non-volatile memory is allowed. The authentication process for accessing the video recorded in the second storage unit is disclosed only to special persons such as the police, and is not disclosed to parties concerned such as drivers. Therefore, in the in-vehicle video recording device of the present embodiment, the video recorded in the second storage unit is prevented from being falsified or deleted by the person concerned.

In addition, since the image at the time of event occurrence is duplicated and recorded in the first storage unit and the second storage unit, even if the first storage unit is taken away or damaged, the image is left in the second storage unit. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the image from being lost when the event occurs.

All of the above-described embodiments merely show specific examples for carrying out the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be construed to be limited by these. That is, the present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from its technical concept or main features.
