Description

  The present invention relates to a device used in a mobile unit and a program for causing a device used in the mobile unit to function.

  BACKGROUND In recent years, it has become common to use a car navigation device that provides operation guidance to a user who uses a mobile body such as a car.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, position detection means for detecting the current position of the vehicle by performing positioning using a GPS (Global Positioning System), a storage unit for storing road type information and the like, and display of an image A car navigation device is described which comprises a display unit for

  Then, the car navigation device described in this patent document 1 creates operation guidance information based on the position of the destination, the current position of the vehicle, the road type information, etc., and the created information for operation guidance Is superimposed on the map information and displayed on the display unit. This allows the user to arrive at the destination via an appropriate route.

  On the other hand, installation of a drive recorder on a mobile body such as a car has also been performed for the purpose of analyzing the situation at the time of an accident.

  The drive recorder stores, for example, a camera for imaging the surroundings of a vehicle, an acceleration sensor for detecting an abnormality such as a collision accident, a sudden brake or a sudden steering wheel, and image data acquired by imaging by the camera. It has a medium.

  Then, the camera always stores the surrounding image while traveling. In addition, when an accident such as a collision or sudden braking or sudden steering is detected based on the output from the acceleration sensor, image data of a predetermined time before and after that point is stored in a storage medium. As a result, the user can check the surroundings of the vehicle when an accident such as a collision accident or a sudden braking or sudden steering occurs. An example of such a drive recorder is described, for example, in Patent Document 2.

  Further, the image data thus stored in the storage medium by the drive recorder can be reproduced, for example, by inserting the storage medium into a reproduction apparatus for reproduction such as a personal computer. It is also possible to display the location where the image data is stored on a map by inserting the storage medium into a playback device such as a personal computer.

JP, 2013-160679, A JP, 2013-235395, A

  As described above, when driving a car or the like, devices such as a car navigation device and a drive recorder are used. Further, for example, in order to reproduce image data stored in a storage medium by a drive recorder, a reproduction device such as a personal computer is used.

  While these devices both have a display function and thus some functions overlap, the car navigation device has a positioning function and a function for operation guidance using map information etc. The drive recorder has a shooting function and a measurement function using an acceleration sensor, and the external device has a function to play back the image data saved in the storage medium by the drive recorder, and displays the location where the image data is stored on the map. Each had its own features, such as features.

  However, car navigation devices, drive recorders, and playback devices are realized as separate devices, and the devices used in these mobile units and the unique functions provided by devices used after mobile use are included. It was not assumed that it cooperated and it used.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a program that can cooperate and use functions implemented in separate devices.

(1-1) The measurement information that changes with the movement of the mobile object becomes the information that satisfies any one of a plurality of conditions provided in stages (hereinafter referred to as “event occurs”) In the case)
Two pieces of information, information for specifying the place where the event has occurred and information indicating which one of the plurality of conditions provided in the stage is satisfied, are output in association with each event Equipment to be.

  By doing this, an event is generated not only by the device but also by which condition among the "where the event has been judged to have occurred", "the place where the event has occurred" and "a plurality of conditions" is satisfied. It can be obtained because it can be obtained at the output destination.

(1-2) When the event occurs, control for storing the two pieces of information or control for storing the two pieces of information is performed.
When the predetermined output condition is satisfied, the two stored information or the stored information is output in association with each event.

  By doing this, it becomes possible to read and use these two pieces of information when it becomes necessary to use these two pieces of information later, regardless of whether they are stored or stored. . Furthermore, in the former case, for example, even when the storage medium inserted into the device is removed, these two pieces of information can be read and used. In the latter case, for example, when the writable capacity of the storage medium inserted in the device becomes full, it becomes possible to replace it with a new storage medium and use it.

  As control for storing the two pieces of information, for example, the two pieces of information may be written in a storage unit provided in the device itself. The control for storing the two pieces of information may be, for example, writing the two pieces of information to a storage medium inserted in the device or a storage device connected to the device, for example.

  (1-3) The predetermined output condition is to output information related to an event occurrence peripheral location including the approach of the mobile body to the location at which the event occurs, and the location at which the event occurs. Or both.

  In this way, by setting the predetermined output condition, which is the condition for outputting information, to be the fact that the moving body approaches the place where the event occurs, it approaches the place that occurred in the past during the operation of the moving body. In this case, it is possible to output information about events that occurred in the past. Furthermore, by setting the output destination to, for example, a display unit or a speaker, it can be understood that the user is currently approaching a place where an event has occurred in the past.

  In addition, by outputting information related to an event occurrence peripheral place including a place where the event has occurred, a predetermined output condition which is a condition for outputting information in this manner outputs information related to the event generation peripheral place If so, information on events that occurred in the past can be output. Further, outputting information related to an event occurrence surrounding place including the place where the event has occurred may be outputting a surrounding map including the place where the event occurred. By doing this, for example, when a user using a car navigation function searches for a route, it is possible to output a past event occurrence point existing on the route together with the surrounding map.

  (1-4) When the event occurs, for storing image data captured when the event occurs, before or after the event, or when a combination of two or more of these occurs. The image data may be reproduced after the occurrence of the event by performing control or control for storing the image data.

  By this, for example, since image data captured in a fixed period before and after an event occurrence can be stored, thereafter, image data captured in a fixed period before and after the event occurrence can be reproduced. Further, since there is a combination of two or more of these, it is preferable to combine the event occurrence time with a predetermined period before the event occurrence, or the combination of the event occurrence time with the event after occurrence. The image data may be a still image. Also, image data may be a moving image. Further, the image data may include other data other than the still image and the moving image. For example, audio data may be included in image data.

  Further, the image data may be generated by imaging by the imaging unit. The imaging means and the device may be connected. Furthermore, a device included in the same housing as the device may be a control target of the device. Then, the device to be controlled may include an imaging unit.

  Further, the control for storing or the control for storing may be performed in the same manner as the writing of the two pieces of information described above in the item (1-2), for example.

  (1-5) In addition to the two pieces of information, the stored image data or information representing the presence of the stored image data is output in association with each other.

  At the output destination, it can be grasped which event the corresponding image data exists. Further, for example, by setting the output destination to the display unit or the speaker, the user who refers to the output information can add the information on the place where the event occurred, etc. It becomes possible to grasp "whether it is a state".

  (1-6) When the event occurs, the control is performed by a device to be controlled by the device to perform a function that does not cause a failure in imaging of the image data. Do.

  By doing this, it is possible to capture image data without a fault. For example, a device to be controlled by the device is a device capable of reproducing a television picture, and the function to be executed by the device to be controlled by the device is a function that causes an obstacle in imaging of the image data. It is good to be an output function. By doing this, when it is determined that at least an event has occurred when capturing image data, the sound of the television is stopped, and it is possible to prevent the sound of the television from being mixed in the image data. Further, for example, it is preferable that a device to be controlled by the device is a wiper of a car, and a function to be executed by the device to be controlled by the device to be an obstacle of imaging of the image data be an operation of the wiper. . By this, the operation of the wiper is stopped after it is determined that at least an event has occurred at the time of imaging of the image data, and it is possible to prevent the wiper that is operating from being reflected in the image data.

(1-7) A storing function of deleting or storing the image data, which is stored or stored, is provided.
Even when the image data corresponding to a certain event can not be reproduced due to being deleted by the deletion function, information for specifying the place where the certain event occurred and the step are provided It is characterized in that output of two pieces of information of information indicating which one of a plurality of conditions is satisfied is performed.

  By so doing, two pieces of information can be output even after deleting image data. Also, these two pieces of information can be used at the output destination. Therefore, even in a situation where the image data is deleted and the image data can not be reproduced, the user can confirm the place where the event occurred and the degree of shock when the event occurs.

(1-8) A control for storing the image data or a control for storing the image data is performed when the first condition among the plurality of conditions is satisfied,
Although the control for storing the image data or the control for storing the image data is not performed when the second condition among the plurality of conditions is satisfied, the location where the certain event has occurred is specified. It is characterized in that output of two pieces of information of the information to be performed and the information indicating which one of the plurality of conditions provided stepwise is satisfied is performed.

  As described above, it is preferable not to store image data even if any one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied. Thus, for example, if it is determined that an event occurs frequently based on a slight impact, the image data is not stored even if it is determined that an event occurs based on the slight impact. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where the capacity of the storage medium is used up immediately due to an increase in image data. For example, depending on the type of vehicle, road conditions, driving habits, etc., if it is frequently judged that an event with the most sensitive threshold has occurred, the important recording data will be overwritten immediately if recording is performed each time . Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable not to store the image data even if it is determined that an event at the most sensitive threshold has occurred, for example. Further, in this case, since the image data is not stored but two pieces of information are output, the user can confirm the place where the event occurred and the degree of shock when the event occurs.

  (1-9) A control for displaying a symbol specifying a place where the event has occurred, and a control for changing the display mode of the symbol depending on whether the image data is stored or not It is characterized by doing.

  By doing this, it is possible to visualize the information to be output, and for example, it becomes possible for the user who referred to this to grasp the contents of the information. Specifically, it becomes possible for the user who has referred to the symbol to grasp not only where the event occurred but also which event the image data is stored. Here, although what the symbol is specifically is arbitrary, for example, the symbol may be an icon displayed on the map. As a result, the user can refer to the map and the place where the event occurred, and can easily recognize where the place where the event occurred is.

  Also, it is optional how to change the display mode of the symbol, but for example, it is assumed that the icon having a round shape is used as a symbol specifying the location where the event in which the image data is stored is generated. As a symbol for specifying a place where an unstored event occurs, it is preferable to use a rectangular icon. Further, it is preferable to make the color different between a symbol specifying a place where an event has occurred and a symbol specifying a place where an event having no image data stored. In addition, it is preferable that both the shape and the color of the icon be different between the symbol specifying the place where the event occurred and the symbol specifying the place where the event where the image data is not stored occur.

  (1-9-1) The size of the symbol specifying the place where the event in which the image data is stored occurs is greater than the size of the symbol specifying the place where the event in which the image data is not stored occurs It is characterized in that control is performed to cause display to be large.

  By doing this, it is possible to visualize the information to be output, and for example, it becomes possible for the user who referred to this to grasp the contents of the information. Here, the symbol is the same as (1-9) described above. For example, the symbol may be an icon displayed on a map.

  Also, it is optional how to make the shape of the symbol different, for example, a circular icon of a certain size as a symbol for specifying a place where an event in which image data is stored is generated. As a symbol for specifying a place where an event in which image data is not stored occurs, it is preferable to use a circular icon smaller than this certain size.

  Also, by combining with the above (1-9), it is also possible to make both the icon size and the icon shape different.

  In any case, it becomes possible for the user who has referred to this to grasp not only the event occurrence location but also for which event the image data is stored.

  (1-10) A control for stopping the imaging of the image data is performed at the time of reproduction of the image data, and a control for resuming the imaging of the image data after the end of the reproduction of the image data requires acceptance of an operation. It is characterized by doing without.

  By doing this, it is possible to prevent a situation where image data being reproduced is overwritten when it is determined that an event has newly occurred during image data reproduction.

  Further, for example, in a case where each image data is assigned a number and listed and managed, and when it is determined that an event has newly occurred during image data reproduction, it is assigned to new image data. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the number and the number assigned to the image data being reproduced overlap. For example, in the case where video recording data currently being reproduced is managed as the latest image data, if new image data is generated, management is made as to which data is the latest data after reproduction is completed. It becomes possible to prevent the situation where it can not be done.

  Furthermore, after preventing such a situation, by resuming imaging of the image data without requiring reception of the operation, the recording is resumed even when the user forgets the operation for starting the recording. It becomes possible. In addition, it is possible to save the trouble of the user performing the operation.

(1-11) A device to be controlled by the device is provided with an imaging unit for capturing the image data,
Even after the device to be controlled is installed on the movable body, an incident unit that causes light to be incident on the imaging unit can move either or both of the incident position and the direction of the incident unit so as to be adjustable. I assume.

  By doing this, it is possible to adjust the incident position even after installing the device to be controlled on the moving body. As a result, the range to be imaged can be adjusted so as to correspond to the shape and the installation position of the moving body, and it becomes possible to capture image data of a desired range. A device included in the same housing as the device may be a control target of the device. Then, the device to be controlled may include an imaging unit. The imaging means may be, for example, a camera, and the incident unit may be, for example, a camera lens.

  (1-12) A control is performed to display a symbol specifying a place where the event has occurred, and the symbol according to which one of a plurality of conditions provided stepwise is satisfied. It is characterized by performing control in order to differ the display mode of.

  By doing this, it is possible to visualize the information to be output, and for example, the user who has referred to this can grasp which conditions each event is determined to have occurred as a result of satisfying the conditions. It becomes possible. Here, the symbols are the same as (1-9) and (1-9-1) described above, and for example, the symbols may be icons displayed on a map.

  In addition, it is optional to change the color of the symbol by using any color, but for example, when it is determined that an event has occurred due to a minute impact, it is assumed that the event is green. It is good to do. Also, for example, when it is determined that an event has occurred because of a large impact, the event may be red. Also, for example, when it is determined that an event has occurred because of an impact intermediate between the fine impact and the large impact, the event may be yellow. Also, the size and shape of the icons may be made different according to the size of the impact.

  Further, by combining with the above (1-9) and (1-9-1), it is also possible to make both the size of the icon and the shape of the icon different according to the presence or absence of the image data.

  Moreover, when making it related with the above-mentioned (1-9) and the structure of (1-9-1), it is good to make it different according to the content. For example, the “shape” of the icon may be different depending on whether the image data exists, and the “color” of the icon may be different according to the magnitude of the shock. Further, it is preferable to change the "color" of the icon depending on whether or not the image data exists, and to change the "shape" of the icon according to the magnitude of the impact.

(1-13) A control for storing information specifying the place where the predetermined operation has been received in distinction from the information specifying the place where the event occurred when the predetermined operation is received as a trigger or Control for storing information specifying the place where the predetermined operation has been received separately from the information specifying the place where the event has occurred,
Control is performed to display a symbol specifying a place where the operation has been received in a display mode different from a symbol specifying a place where the event has occurred.

  Thus, even when it is not determined that an event has occurred, it is possible to store (store) position information. Then, by doing this, it is possible to visualize the information to be output, and therefore, the user who refers to this distinguishes the place where it is determined that the event has occurred and the place where the operation was performed. It becomes possible.

  Here, the symbols are the same as (1-9), (1-9-1) and (12) described above. For example, the symbols may be displayed as icons on a map.

  In addition, although it is optional that the color of the symbol is made different by using any color, for example, the symbol specifying the place where the operation is accepted may be blue letter.

  Further, by combining with the above (1-9) and (1-9-1), it is also possible to make both the size of the icon and the shape of the icon different according to the presence or absence of the image data. Furthermore, by combining with the above (1-12), the color of the icon may be made to differ depending on which event it is determined that the event is determined to have occurred. Good.

  Further, the control for storing or the control for storing may be performed in the same manner as the writing of the two pieces of information described above in the item (2), for example.

  (1-14) The output information may further include information indicating an order in which it is determined that the event has occurred.

  By doing this, it is possible to know at the output destination which event has been determined to have occurred recently and which event has been determined to have occurred a long time ago.

  For example, the image data of the old event may be overwritten and deleted. In this case, by setting the output destination of the information as the display unit, the user can know which event data is about to disappear. Therefore, it is possible to preferentially reproduce data that is likely to disappear.

  Further, it may be combined with the above (1-9), (1-9-1), (1-12) and (1-13).

  For example, in combination with the above (1-9-1), for example, the icon may be a circled number for displaying numbers in chronological order.

  (1-15) The measurement information that changes with the movement of the moving body includes a measurement value by the acceleration sensor, and the plurality of the measurement values by the acceleration sensor exceed any of the threshold values provided in stages. It is characterized in that it is determined which one of the conditions of (1) is satisfied.

  By doing this, not only the fact that the moving body collides with another moving body or an installation, but also the user can judge how much the impact was when the collision occurred.

  (1-16) Even if the measurement information that changes with the movement of the mobile body becomes information satisfying any one of a plurality of conditions provided in stages, the information satisfies the condition If it is during a predetermined period including the time of accepting the operation, it is determined that the event has not occurred or it is determined that the event has occurred, but a warning is output to indicate that the event has occurred It is characterized in that it does not control the

  The operation is an operation by the user, and there is a possibility that it may be erroneously determined that an event has occurred based on a shock when receiving this operation. However, this makes it possible to prevent erroneous determination that an event has occurred when no event has occurred.

  Depending on the usage condition of the device, the measured value by the acceleration sensor may rise in the predetermined direction regardless of the occurrence of the event. For example, when the front surface of the device is a touch panel, when the user presses the touch panel, the measurement value by the acceleration sensor rises on the measurement axis corresponding to the back surface direction from the front surface of the device. This is not related to the occurrence of an event, and in such a case, it may be determined that the event has not occurred.

  Therefore, if it is during a predetermined period including the time of accepting the operation, it is not determined that the event has occurred. As a result, even when the acceleration sensor measures an impact caused by the operation, it is possible to prevent an erroneous determination that an event has occurred based on this.

  However, an event may actually occur before or after the operation. Therefore, it is preferable not to determine that an event has occurred but to determine that an event has occurred but not to output a warning. This makes it possible to reliably perform the process performed in response to the occurrence of an event. The processing performed in response to the occurrence of an event may be, for example, storage processing of image data. In addition, on the other hand, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a warning is output even though the acceleration sensor measures an impact accompanying an operation and makes an erroneous determination that an event has occurred. .

  (1-17) A device to be controlled by the device includes a first storage medium using unit and a second storage medium using unit, and a storage medium used by one of the storage medium using units is: It is characterized in that it is controlled so that it can be used by the other storage medium using unit.

  By doing this, it is possible to effectively use two storage medium using units.

  For example, the device to be controlled may have a substrate that realizes two functions, and each of the substrates may be able to use a storage medium conforming to the same standard. This makes it possible to use the same storage medium for each other's substrates.

  For example, a substrate that implements the function of the car navigation system and a substrate that implements the function of the drive recorder may be used. For example, when image data captured by a substrate realizing the function of the drive recorder is reproduced by the ability of the substrate realizing the function of the car navigation system, or when the capacity of the storage medium used by one of the substrates becomes full. , And the other storage medium can be used.

  (1-18) When the event occurs, measurement information measured before the occurrence of the event and / or after the occurrence of the event is also output.

  By doing this, it is possible to grasp the measurement information measured in a fixed period before and after the event occurrence at the output destination. Further, since there is a combination of two or more of these, it is preferable to combine the event occurrence time with a predetermined period before the event occurrence, or the combination of the event occurrence time with the event after occurrence.

  For example, the measurement information may be the moving speed of the moving object, and the output destination may be the display unit. This allows the user to prove, for example, that the event occurred at or below the legal speed, or that he was slowly following. Note that the moving speed of the moving object can be calculated, for example, by using GPS position information. Also, the moving speed of the moving object may be obtained by using, for example, OBD (On-board diagnostics).

  (1-19) The program is characterized in that the computer functions as the apparatus described as (1) to (1-18) described above.

  It becomes possible to realize all or at least a part of the functions of the apparatus described as (1-1) to (1-18) described above by a computer.

  (1-a) When it is determined that the event has occurred when the image data is stored in a predetermined number or when the image data is stored in a predetermined number, The present invention is characterized in that the stored image data or a part or all of the stored image data is deleted.

  For example, the maximum storable number of image data is determined based on the capacity of the storage medium, and a state in which the image data is stored (or stored) by a number close to the maximum storable number is The image data may be stored (or stored) in a predetermined number.

  By doing this, the image data is deleted if it approaches the maximum storable number. Therefore, it is possible to prevent such a situation that the image data can not be stored at the time of the next occurrence of the event because the maximum number of storable items has been reached.

  (1-b) An apparatus characterized in that the threshold can be set to a different value for each measurement axis, and the threshold of the measurement axis corresponding to the traveling direction of the movable body is higher than the threshold of the other measurement axes. .

  In this way, it is possible to use a threshold value corresponding to the usage condition of the apparatus, and to prevent the event from being erroneously determined to occur when no event has occurred.

  In this regard, depending on the usage condition of the apparatus, the measured value by the acceleration sensor may rise in the predetermined direction regardless of the occurrence of the event. For example, when the front surface of the device is a touch panel, when the user presses the touch panel, the measurement value by the acceleration sensor rises on the measurement axis corresponding to the back surface direction from the front surface of the device. This is not related to the occurrence of an event, so in such a case, it is preferable not to judge that an event has occurred. Therefore, for example, the threshold may be increased in the measurement axis corresponding to the direction from the front to the back of the device. This makes it possible to determine that an event has not occurred even if a slight impact is detected.

  Further, for example, when installing the device in a car, the front of the device provided with the touch panel faces the front of the user, and the rear of the device faces in the traveling direction of the car. Therefore, for example, when the moving object advancing direction is the front, the measurement axis corresponding to the moving object advancing direction is the X direction (front to back), and the moving object advancing direction is the front, the measuring axes corresponding to the left and right of the moving object With the Y direction (left and right) and the moving object advancing direction in front, the measurement axes corresponding to the top and bottom of the moving object are Z direction (left and right), and the threshold for the measurement axis in the X direction (front and back) is increased. It is good to do.

  (1-c) When it is determined that the event has occurred, control is performed to turn on the notification unit, and the notification unit is installed at a place where the lighting by the notification unit is reflected on the windshield of the moving object It is characterized by

  By doing this, it is possible to see the lighting or blinking reflected on the windshield, and the user can easily recognize that an event has occurred. For example, when driving a mobile at night, the notification unit may be turned on.

  (1-d) The mobile object is characterized by restricting at least a part of functions executed by a device to be controlled by the device when the mobile object is located near a place where the event has occurred.

  By doing this, the user can concentrate on the driving of the moving object at the place where the event occurred last time.

  In places where events have occurred in the past, it is often desirable to drive in a tight manner. For example, it is assumed that there is a place where it is determined that an event has occurred since the previous braking was applied. In this case, in the vicinity of this place, the function of the device to be controlled is partially restricted. For example, a device to be controlled as in the above (6) is a device capable of reproducing a television picture, and this device is a function to be executed by the device to be controlled and a function that causes an obstacle in imaging of the image data. , And the sound output function of the television. By doing this, it is possible to stop outputting the sound of the television, which is an obstacle to driving, near the place where the vehicle was suddenly braked, and it is possible for the user to concentrate on the driving of the moving body.

(2-1) A first power consumption unit that performs control for outputting information to the user and / or control for receiving an operation from the user, and a first power consumption unit Comprises a second power consumer performing different control,
When voltage is simultaneously applied to the first power consuming unit and the second power consuming unit, when the rated current of the external power supply is exceeded, power feeding from the external power supply is started, the first power consuming unit A first 1-1 application of applying a voltage is performed, and a second application of applying a voltage to the second power consumption unit is performed after the first 1-1 application.

  Thus, the maximum value of the total value of the required currents can be lowered by flowing the current stepwise by sequentially applying the voltage. This makes it possible to start the device even with a low current power supply. In addition, since the first power consuming unit that performs control for outputting information to the user and / or control for receiving an operation from the user is first targeted for application, The user can quickly start referencing information and performing operations.

  Also, for example, a car charger of a mobile unit may be used to supply power from the outside. In this way, a low current car charger can be used, and the cost can be reduced. Also, the low current car charger cable is thin, which makes it easy for the user to manage.

(2-2) The second power consumption unit includes a portion that needs to receive power from the capacitor and perform predetermined operation termination processing when power supply is cut off,
Before the second application is performed, a 1-2nd application for applying a voltage to the capacitor is performed.

  By doing this, power is supplied to the storage battery before activating the second power consumption unit, and the second power consumption unit stores charge for performing predetermined operation termination processing in the storage battery. be able to. Therefore, necessary predetermined operation end processing can be executed with certainty.

  The operation termination process may be, for example, a process of storing data processed by the second power consumption unit in a storage medium. This makes it possible to prevent the file during processing from being damaged.

  (2-3) The device includes a secondary battery for continuing driving when removed from the external power supply, and applies a voltage to the secondary battery after the second application. 3 is performed.

  Immediately after the application to the second power consumer starts, a large amount of current is consumed. Therefore, if current flows to the secondary battery at this stage, the rated current of the external power supply will be exceeded.

  Therefore, it is characterized in that the rated current of the external power source is prevented from being exceeded by not immediately performing the third application as described above.

  For example, in the case of performing application after waiting for the voltage of the capacitor to rise, it becomes possible to start the application at an appropriate timing when the voltage of the capacitor has risen. The capacitor may be a super capacitor.

  (2-4) The time required for the device to exhibit a predetermined function by the first power consuming unit to which the voltage is applied is specified by the second power consuming unit to which the voltage is applied. It takes longer than the time it takes to exert its function.

  For power consuming units that require time to perform functions when providing various functions to users, power consuming units that do not require time relatively to perform functions earlier than power consuming units The voltage should be applied. Therefore, as described above, the voltage is applied to the first power consuming unit which takes a relatively long time to exhibit the predetermined function, before the second power consuming unit. As a result, the user can use the function exhibited by the first power consumption unit at an early stage, and as described in the section (2-1), the first power consumption unit allows the user to Since the control for outputting information to the user and the control for receiving an operation from the user are performed, or the control of either or both is performed, by making the first power consuming unit the target of application first, The user can quickly start referencing information and performing operations.

  (2-5) The device performs a map display function by the first power consumption unit, and the device performs a drive recorder function by the second power consumption device, and outputs the device in relation to the drive recorder function. Information is displayed on a map.

  In addition, since the application is performed first to the first power consuming unit, it is possible to promptly activate the map display function. It is considered that the user of the moving body often starts driving after confirming the map. Also, if the operation has not been started, the need for the drive recorder to function is less than during operation. Therefore, for example, instead of activating the drive recorder function first, the drive recorder function may be activated after the map display function is activated. This makes it possible to set the activation order suitable for the use situation of the user.

  (2-6) It is characterized by performing control for performing operation guidance to a place specified by position information acquired related to the drive recorder function.

  By doing this, the user receives operation guidance to a location related to the drive recorder function. For example, it is possible to easily revisit a place where an accident occurred in the past, a place where an event occurs frequently, or a place where a user manually made a recording.

  (2-7) A control is performed to continue the operation guidance even when the map is not displayed.

  For example, even when a map is not displayed, that is, when displaying a real-time video or a television video captured by a camera, it is preferable to continue the operation guidance by audio output.

  (2-8) If the voltage of the storage battery exceeds a first predetermined voltage, control is performed so that the second application is started, and the voltage of the storage capacitor exceeds a second predetermined voltage The second power consumption unit is controlled to be able to perform a predetermined function.

  If the second power consumption unit executes a predetermined function immediately after the start-up process of the second power consumption unit is finished, it is conceivable that the storage of electricity in the capacitor is insufficient. Thus, by doing this, the activation process is started when the voltage becomes necessary for activation, and the execution of the predetermined function is started only after the voltage becomes an executable voltage for the predetermined function. This makes it possible to prevent the execution of a predetermined function even though the storage of electricity in the storage battery is insufficient. The predetermined function may be, for example, a drive recorder function.

  (2-9) The second power consumption unit is controlled to perform the third application in response to the state in which the predetermined function can be executed.

  Immediately after the start of application to the second power consumption unit, storage of electricity in the capacitor is insufficient and consumes a large amount of current. Therefore, if current flows to the secondary battery which is another device at this stage, the maximum value of the total value of the current exceeds the assumption.

  Therefore, by doing this, it becomes possible to flow a current to a secondary battery, which is another device, after a state in which the predetermined function can be performed, that is, sufficient storage in the storage battery is possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the maximum value of the total value of currents from exceeding the rated current of the power supply source.

  (2-10) The first power consuming unit may perform the third operation in any or all of the periods from when power supply from the external power supply is started to when the third application is started. It is characterized in that control is performed to output that the power consumption unit 2 is not in a state capable of exerting the predetermined function.

  As described in the section (2-1) described above, it is preferable to first activate the first power consumption unit for outputting information to the user. Therefore, first, current is supplied to the first power consumption unit. By doing so, the first power consuming unit can output that the predetermined function by the second power consuming unit can not be used yet. For example, it is preferable to output a display such as "currently the function of the drive recorder can not be used" on the display unit. This enables the user to recognize that power feeding is properly started, and that the predetermined function by the power consumption unit 2 is in the process of being started.

  (2-11) When the supply of power from the outside is shut off, control is performed to stop a predetermined function operated on the second control unit.

  Thereby, when the supply of power from the outside is shut off, the amount of power consumption can be reduced. For example, when removed from a car charger of a mobile, the function as a drive recorder is not necessary. Thus, by doing so, unnecessary functions can be stopped, and the consumption of the secondary battery can be reduced.

  (2-12) Both the function of operating on the first power consuming unit and the function of operating on the second power consuming unit when the device receives power from the predetermined external power supply It is characterized by stopping the function.

  By doing this, it is possible to reduce the amount of power consumption, and to charge the secondary battery efficiently.

  For example, when power is being supplied from a device other than a mobile object, it is considered not to be used by the mobile object and to be connected to a terminal or outlet conforming to the USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard of the personal computer. . In this case, in addition to the function as the drive recorder, the map display function is also unnecessary. Thus, by doing so, unnecessary functions can be stopped, and the consumption of the secondary battery can be reduced.

  (2-13) The program is characterized in that the computer functions as the apparatus described as (2-1) to (2-13) described above.

  It becomes possible to realize all or at least a part of the functions of the apparatus described as (2-1) to (2-13) described above by a computer.

(2-a) An apparatus characterized in that the secondary battery is controlled to apply a voltage to the first power consuming unit when the power supply from the external power supply is interrupted.
When it is shut off, for example, when it is removed from the car charger of the mobile unit, the function as a drive recorder is not necessary. Therefore, the voltage is applied from the secondary battery not to the second power consumption unit that realizes the function of the drive recorder but to the first power consumption unit that realizes the map display function. By so doing, it becomes possible to use the map display function immediately after the external power supply is shut off. In addition, the device may be portable and be carried around for use by the user.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to cooperate and use functions implemented in separate devices.

  Furthermore, the first control unit 100 writes information in the main storage unit 190. Furthermore, the first control unit 100 reads information from the main storage unit 190.

  Furthermore, the first control unit 100 communicates with the second control unit 200 by being connected by a communication line or the like mounted on the substrate.

  Furthermore, the first control unit 100 communicates with an external device connected via the USB terminal 320.

  The touch panel 110 receives an operation when the user presses a screen, and outputs the content of the received operation to the first control unit 100. Here, the content of the operation is information specifying which position on the screen of the touch panel 110 the position at which the pressing is received is. The touch panel 110 also displays the image data input from the first control unit 100 on the screen. Furthermore, the touch panel 110 displays the image data input from the television tuner 150 on the screen.

  The speaker 120 outputs sounds such as music and voice input from the first control unit 100.

  The notification LED 130 lights up or blinks based on the control of the first control unit 100.

  The button 140 is a physical button 140 provided on the housing of the integrated device 1000, and accepts user's operation.

  Here, in the case where the integrated device 1000 is installed and used in a car as described above, each of the touch panel 110, the speaker 120, and the notification LED 130 is an output of the touch panel 110, the speaker 120, and the notification LED 130 by the user. It is placed at a detectable position. Further, the touch panel 110 and the button 140 are disposed at positions where the user can operate.

  The television tuner 150 receives a television signal, converts the received television signal into image data of a predetermined format, and outputs the image data to the touch panel 110. In the following description, the image data converted by the television tuner 150 is referred to as "television image".

  The GPS sensor 160 measures the current position of the integrated device 1000 using the GPS, and outputs the measured position information to the first control unit 100. Here, the position information is realized by, for example, coordinate information conforming to the standard of GPS.

  The acceleration sensor 170 measures acceleration and inputs the measured acceleration to the first control unit 100. The acceleration sensor 170 may also be referred to as a "G sensor".

  The first storage unit 180 is a portion into which a removable storage medium is inserted by the user. In the first storage unit 180, for example, a storage medium storing a music file of MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) format or a television picture written by the first control unit 100 is inserted. Then, under the control of the first control unit 100, the music file and the television image are read from the storage medium and output from the speaker 120 and the touch panel 110.

  The main storage unit 190 stores information for performing car navigation. Specifically, map information, information on a certain target, information for specifying the type of road, information on facilities, address information, and the like are stored. Further, software for realizing control by the first control unit 100 is stored in the main storage unit 190.

  The software of the main storage unit 190 can also be updated using the latest data of software updated after shipment of the integrated device 1000, the latest data of a target, or the like. For example, the storage medium storing the latest data is inserted into the first storage unit 180, and the first storage unit 180 reads additional data from the storage medium and updates the software of the main storage unit 190. Here, the main storage unit 190 is realized by, for example, a flash memory.

  Also, as described above, when the integrated device 1000 is installed in a car and used, the current position measured by the GPS sensor 160 represents the current position of the car, and the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 170 is the car's It represents the acceleration. Then, the first control unit 100 compares the current position measured by the GPS sensor 160 with the map information and the like stored in the storage unit, thereby creating a map for operation guidance including the current position of the vehicle. , The touch panel 110 displays a map for this operation guide. Moreover, predetermined information, an alarm, and a message are output using the touch panel 110, the speaker 120, and LED130 for alerting | reporting. The first control unit 100 implements a car navigation function by performing these processes.

  On the other hand, the second control unit 200 controls the camera 210, the microphone 220, and the second storage unit 230, among the above-described units.

  Then, the second control unit 200 inputs the video signal picked up by the camera 210 and the acoustic signal collected by the microphone 220, converts the inputted video signal and acoustic signal into image data of a predetermined format, and stores the same. Store in In the following description, the image data converted by the second control unit 200 will be referred to as "real-time video".

  In addition, the second control unit 200 outputs the real time video to the first control unit 100. The output real time video is displayed on the touch panel 110.

  The camera 210 includes an incident unit 211.

  The incident part 211 is a part into which light injects. The light incident on the incident unit 211 is converted into a video signal and output to the second control unit 200.

  Furthermore, the microphone 220 collects sound. The sound collected by the microphone 220 is converted into an acoustic signal and output to the second control unit 200.

  Here, in the case where the integrated device 1000 is installed in a car and used, the light incident on the incident part 211 and the sound collected by the microphone 220 are targets to be imaged as a drive recorder. Here, an object to be imaged as a drive recorder is, for example, scenery in the traveling direction and surrounding sounds captured from inside the car of a car through the windshield. Then, the second control unit 200 realizes a function as a drive recorder by storing an object to be imaged as the drive recorder in the second storage unit 230 in a predetermined video format.

  The power supply unit 310 supplies power to each functional block included in the integrated device 1000. Supply of power to the power supply unit 310 is performed from an external device via the USB terminal 320. In FIG. 1, the wiring for the power supply unit 310 to supply power to each functional block is not shown.

  The USB terminal 320 is a terminal conforming to the USB standard. The USB terminal 320 is connected to an external device via a cable conforming to the USB standard. Then, power is supplied from an external device through a cable. It is also possible for the first control unit 100 and the external device to communicate via a cable.

  Here, when the integrated device 1000 is installed and used in a car, a cable connected to a car charger of the car is connected to the USB terminal 320. Then, the integrated device 1000 is supplied with power from a car charger of a car.

  The functional blocks of the present embodiment have been described above.

The first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 described above are each realized by an arithmetic device such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a random access memory (RAM) or a read only memory (ROM). Ru. Then, the CPU reads the software stored in the ROM or the main storage unit 190 and performs arithmetic processing while expanding it in the RAM, whereby the control by the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 is realized.
<Process of this embodiment>
Next, each of the processes performed by the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
<Recording of real time video>
First, the recording of real-time video performed under the control of the second control unit 200 will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, there are three recording methods: constant recording, manual recording, and event recording.

  First, as a premise, acquisition of a real time image is started with the start of the engine of the automobile in which the integrated apparatus 1000 is installed. And by stopping the engine of the car, the acquisition of the real time video is finished.

  Here, whether or not the engine of the automobile is operating may be determined, for example, according to whether or not power is supplied from the automobile via the USB terminal 320. That is, when the supply of power is started, acquisition of real time video is started, and when the supply of power is ended, acquisition of real time video is ended.

Next, continuous recording will be described. The real time video is stored in the second storage unit 230 from the start of the acquisition of the real time video until the end of the acquisition of the real time video. That is, while the engine of the automobile is operating, recording is always performed constantly. The recorded real-time video is divided into a plurality of files in units of a predetermined length and stored in the second storage unit 230. The unit of the predetermined length is arbitrary, but for example, it may be one file every 30 seconds. In the following description, this file is called "video file".

  As shown in the upper left of FIG. 2, “from start-up to full capacity of second storage unit 230”, the capacity of the second storage unit 230, which is always allocated for recording, is full. Storage of the video file is continued. Although the capacity allocated for continuous recording is arbitrary, for example, it may be a capacity capable of recording a video file corresponding to a length of 20 minutes.

  In addition, the storage of the video file continues even after the capacity of the second storage unit 230, which is always allocated for recording, becomes full. However, if this is the case, the capacity is insufficient, and it is impossible to save a new video file. Therefore, when saving a new video file, it is preferable to delete the oldest video file.

  Next, manual recording will be described. When the user detects that the button 140 is pressed, manual recording is performed. Then, the video file including the time point when the depression of the button 140 is detected, and the video file immediately before the video file are protected. That is, two video files are protected in response to one press. To be protected here means that the protected video file is excluded from the target of deletion of the oldest video file by continuous recording.

  Then, the two protected video files, the date and time when the two video files were captured, and the position information for specifying the position where the two video files were captured are linked and stored as a pair in the second storage unit 230. Also, although it is necessary to further add an identification code to the set in order to identify this set, the date and time when the two video files were captured is not used only for confirming the date and time, but also as an identification code. You should do it. Further, it is preferable to request the first control unit 100 for coordinate information determined by the GPS sensor 160 as position information, and to use coordinate information transmitted from the first control unit 100 in response to the request.

  Furthermore, the second control unit 200 notifies the first control unit 100 that the manual recording has occurred. Specifically, the fact that the manual recording has occurred, the date and time when the manual recording was performed, and the position information for specifying the position where the manual recording was performed are associated with each other and transmitted to the first control unit 100 as a set. Then, the first control unit 100 stores the received information in the main storage unit 190.

  The number of items that can be protected may be arbitrarily determined according to the capacity of the second storage unit 230. For example, it is preferable that the capacity is 10 for the maximum case, that is, 20 for the video file. In a state in which 20 video files are protected, the depression of the button 140 by the user is detected, and when the manual recording is newly performed, and when the event recording described later is newly performed, the oldest is the oldest Remove two video files from the protection target. As a result, a new video file can be protected.

  Next, event recording will be described. When the first control unit 100 determines that an event has occurred, event recording is performed. The event recording will be described next for the criteria by which the first control unit 100 determines that an event has occurred.

  Then, the video file including the time of occurrence of the event and the video file immediately before the video file are protected. That is, two video files are protected in response to one event occurrence.

  Then, the two protected video files, the date and time when the two video files were captured, and the position information for specifying the position where the two video files were captured are linked and stored as a pair in the second storage unit 230. Further, as in the manual recording, it is preferable to use the date and time when the two video files were captured as an identification code. Furthermore, as for the position information, it is preferable to use the coordinate information transmitted from the first control unit 100 as in the manual recording. Further, as in the case of manual recording, coordinate information transmitted from the first control unit 100 may be used as position information.

  Similar to manual recording, the number of protectable cases may be arbitrarily determined according to the capacity of the second storage unit 230. For example, the maximum number of cases that can be added together with the number of manual recordings, ie, video files It is good to set it as the capacity for 20 pieces. As in the case of manual recording, when recording is further performed while 20 video files are protected, it is preferable to remove the two oldest video files as protection targets.

  The video file recorded in this way can be played back according to the user's operation. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the date and time when the protected video file was captured is displayed as a list on the touch panel 110 as an identifier. Then, the selection by the user is accepted on the touch panel 110, and the video file corresponding to the selection is reproduced on the touch panel 110. In addition, in the case of manual recording, an icon such as i1 of FIG. 3 is attached so that the user can distinguish manual recording and event recording, and in the case of event recording, the shape of i2 of FIG. 3 is different from i1. An icon like this is attached.

<Judgment of occurrence of event>
In the present embodiment, the first control unit 100 determines that an event has occurred.

  In order to determine the occurrence of this event, an acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 170, which is measurement information that changes as the vehicle moves, and a threshold are used. Then, when the measured acceleration exceeds a threshold, it is determined that an event has occurred. By doing this, the car collided with another moving object or installation, or there was a sudden stop, a sudden transmission and a sudden turn based on the driving of the user operating the car, that is, an event occurred. It can be determined.

  Further, not only one threshold but a plurality of thresholds are provided in stages. Then, not only judging that the car has collided with another moving object or an installation, but also determining the impact when the car has collided by judging which of the threshold values provided by the acceleration sensor 170 has been exceeded. It can also be determined how much the

  For example, the threshold value of the most sensitive stage is set to 0.5 G, and from that point on, it is desensitized gradually. In other words, the threshold for the second insensitive stage is 0.8G, the threshold for the intermediate stage is 1.1G, the threshold for the second insensitive stage is 1.4G, and the threshold for the least insensitive stage is 1.7G. For example, five stages are set in stages.

  Then, if the measured value of the acceleration sensor 170 is less than 0.5 G, for example, it is not determined that an event has occurred. Further, if the measured value of the acceleration sensor 170 is, for example, 0.9 G, the threshold value of the second insensitive stage is exceeded, so it is determined that the level 2 event has occurred. Also, for example, if the measurement value of the acceleration sensor 170 is 1.9 G, for example, the threshold value of the least sensitive stage is exceeded, so it is determined that an event of level 5 has occurred. As described above, as the measurement value of the acceleration sensor 170 is higher, it is determined that a high level event has occurred. In other words, the higher the level of the event, the greater the impact detected.

  If it is determined that an event has occurred, the first control unit 100 associates position information for specifying the position at which the event occurred, the level of the occurred event, and the date and time when the event occurred as a pair. It is stored in the main storage unit 190. Also, in the same manner as the second control unit 200 performs at the time of manual recording and event recording, it is preferable to use the date and time when the event occurred as an identification code for identifying each event. .

  Furthermore, when it is determined that an event has occurred, the first control unit 100 notifies the user of the occurrence of the event by lighting or blinking the notification LED 130. In addition, the first control unit 100 also pops up a message such as “***** event has occurred” on the touch panel 110.

  For example, when using the navigation function, a message pops up on the map. A display example of this message is shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, a map for operation guidance is displayed on the entire touch panel 110. And i3 shown in FIG. 4 is a message which is popped up to indicate occurrence of an event. The "*****" of this message indicates the level of the event that occurred. For example, it may be displayed as "an event of level 3 has occurred". Also, such a message is urgent, and it is important to convey to the user. Therefore, when using a function other than the navigation function, for example, even while playing back a television picture, it is preferable to pop up a message on the television picture.

  Further, in the area i4 shown in FIG. 4, an area in which various information used for operation guidance is displayed is provided. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the current time acquired from, for example, a GPS satellite, the received strength and direction of the GPS signal, the value representing the scale of the map, and the shortcut button 140 are arranged in this area from the top.

  Here, the shortcut button 140 is a button 140 that switches the screen each time the button is pressed. The screen switching, that is, the screen transition, will be described later, so detailed description will be omitted here.

  In addition, the current traveling speed of the automobile in which the integrated device 1000 is installed is displayed on i5 shown in FIG.

  Further, at i6 shown in FIG. 4, the address, the road name, the latitude and the longitude of the place where the car on which the integrated device 1000 is installed is currently traveling is displayed. In addition, when i6 shown in FIG. 4 is pressed, the menu screen may be displayed.

Also, as described above, when it is determined that an event has occurred, event recording is performed.
<Display method>
Next, the display method in the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the position at which event recording was performed because an event occurred, and the position at which manual recording was performed according to the user's operation are displayed, for example, as icons on a map for operation guidance displayed by the car navigation system function. . In the following description, this icon is referred to as an "event icon".

  Then, in response to the user pressing the event icon on the touch panel 110, the corresponding image data is reproduced. Here, the corresponding image data is captured by the function of the drive recorder. That is, in the present embodiment, the car navigation function and the function of the drive recorder are linked.

  The event icon may be a single color, but may have a different color depending on, for example, the level of the event. By doing this, the user who has referred to the event icon not only knows the position where the event was present, but also knows that there are "number of levels" events.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to be able to distinguish whether it is a position where event recording has been performed because an event has occurred or a position where manual recording has been performed according to the user's operation. Therefore, the color of the event icon representing the position at which the manual recording was performed is made different from the color of the event icon representing the position at which the event recording was performed. Also, colors may be assigned according to, for example, signal signs so that the user can intuitively recognize.

  For example, the event icon of the level 1 event, which is an event based on a slight impact, is green. Also, the event icon of the level 1 event, which is an event based on an intermediate level impact, is yellow. Furthermore, the event icon of the event of level 5 which is an event based on a large impact is red. Also, the event icon corresponding to manual recording is colored in amber.

  Table 1 below shows an example of this color assignment. The following description will be made based on this assignment.

  Then, the event icons to which the colors are assigned in this way are superimposed on the map for operation guidance as shown in FIG. 5 and displayed on the touch panel 110.

  Furthermore, as described above with reference to FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of recordable cases for each of the manual recording and the event recording is set. For example, the total number of video files for manual recording and event recording is 20, that is, 10 for a total. Then, when a new recording is performed, even if the user has not watched yet, even if it is the oldest, it is deleted. Therefore, it is preferable to let the user know which old one is about to be deleted. And it is preferable to urge to watch before deletion.

  In addition, it is possible to make it possible for the user to grasp which event icon corresponds to the event recording that has just occurred, which event icon corresponds to the manual recording performed three times ago, etc. It is preferable to keep the

  Therefore, each event icon is not merely displayed by color coding, but, for example, the event icon is a circled number including numbers in chronological order. This allows the user to know which event icon is new, old, and how old.

  In order to display these event icons, the first control unit 100 uses the map information stored in the main storage unit 190. In addition, information that is received from the second control unit 200 when manual recording occurs and is stored in the main storage unit 190 “The fact that manual recording has occurred, the date when manual recording was performed, and manual recording "The one obtained by tying together position information for specifying the position to be sent" is used. Furthermore, when the event occurs, which is information stored in the main storage unit 190, “the position information for specifying the position at which the event occurred, the level of the occurred event, and the date and time at which the event occurred We use "thing".

  A specific example in the case of displaying the event icon with these contents is shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 5, first, a map for operation guidance is displayed on touch panel 110. Then, it is understood that i8 on the map is dark blue and is an event representing a position at which manual recording was performed. Further, since the number is 1, it can also be understood that it represents the position at which the manual recording was performed most recently.

  Also, it can be seen that the event i9 on the map is yellow and indicates an event indicating the position at which the level 3 event recording was performed. In addition, since the number is 2, it is understood that it represents the position of the event recording performed one before the manual event performed at i8 on the map.

  Furthermore, it can be seen that i10 on the map is red and represents an event indicating the position where the level 5 event recording was performed. Further, since the number is 3, it is also understood that it represents the position of the event recording performed one before the event recording corresponding to i9 on the map.

  Furthermore, it can be seen that i11 on the map is a green event indicating that the level 1 event recording has been performed. Further, since the number is 4, it is also understood that it represents the position of the event recording performed one before the event recording corresponding to i10 on the map.

  Furthermore, i12 on the map is an event icon representing the current position and the traveling direction of the vehicle in which the integrated device 1000 is installed.

  For example, the user who referred to the information displayed in FIG. 5 "does not drive such that an event occurs this time because it is approaching a place where an event of level 5 has been generated before." It is possible to make a judgment such as “Do not go through the place where the manual recording was previously performed if you proceed as it is”. That is, it is possible to present useful information to the user.

  When the user presses the event icon, the video file corresponding to the event icon is reproduced.

  Specifically, when any event icon is pressed, a list of event icons including the event icon is displayed on, for example, the right half of the touch panel 110, as shown at i13 in FIG. For this purpose, the map is displayed, for example, in the left half, as in i14 of FIG.

  Then, based on where on the touch panel 110 is pressed, the first control unit 100 determines which event icon in the event list has been pressed by the user. Then, the main storage unit 190 reads out the date when the event recording of the event corresponding to the pressed event icon was performed or the date when the manual recording corresponding to the pressed event icon was performed. Then, the read date and time is transmitted to the second control unit 200.

  The second control unit 200 searches the second storage unit 230 using the received date and time as a search key. Then, the video file corresponding to the date and time is read out. Here, since two video files are formed for each manual recording and each event recording, two video files forming this group are read out. Then, the second control unit 200 decodes these two video files read out to generate image data. Then, the image data is transmitted to the first control unit 100.

  The first control unit 100 performs reproduction by outputting the received image data to the touch panel 110. By referring to the reproduced image data, the user can confirm the situation when manual recording or event recording is performed.

  Next, the history icon which is an icon separate from the event icon will be described. As described above, since there is an upper limit to the number of times that video files can be protected for manual recording and event recording, for example, when the number exceeds 10, video files are deleted in order from the oldest. Therefore, the event icon corresponding to the deleted video file is also deleted.

  Here, the reason for deleting the video file is because the capacity of the second storage unit 230 is taken into consideration, and if possible, information about manual recording and event recording prior to 10 is displayed on the map Is preferred.

  In this regard, the data size of the information on the occurrence position of the manual recording and the event recording stored in the main storage unit 190 is smaller than the data size of the video file.

  Therefore, the information is stored in the main storage unit 190 without being deleted. Then, using these pieces of information, an occurrence position for manual recording or event recording and an icon indicating the level of event recording are displayed on the map. In the following description, such an icon is called a "history icon" to distinguish it from an event icon.

  Note that the amount of data required to display the history icon is small as described above. However, if history icons are displayed even for past manual recordings and event recordings, a large number of icons will be displayed on the screen, which hinders operation guidance.

  Therefore, an upper limit is set for the number of icons to be displayed. For example, suppose that there are 500 event icons and 10 history icons.

  In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between the history icon and the event icon. For that purpose, for example, the shape of the history icon and the shape and size of the event icon are made different. For example, the shapes are made different, such as round and rectangular. Alternatively, the sizes are made different in such a way that both are the same circular shape, but the event icon is larger and the history icon is smaller. Also, in any case, the shape and size of each history icon can be determined. In the following description, it is assumed that the history icon is displayed in a rhombic shape.

  The information used to display the history icon is, specifically, information that is received from the second control unit 200 when manual recording occurs and is stored in the main storage unit 190 "manual recording That the occurrence of the event, the date and time when the manual recording was performed, and the position information for specifying the position at which the manual recording was performed are linked and used as a group. Furthermore, when the event occurs, which is information stored in the main storage unit 190, “the position information for specifying the position at which the event occurred, the level of the occurred event, and the date and time at which the event occurred We use "thing".

  A specific example in the case where an event icon is displayed with these contents is shown in FIG. The specific example of FIG. 7 is deleted when the video file corresponding to the event icon shown in the specific example of FIG. 5 is outdated, and replaced with the history icon.

  Referring to FIG. 7, a map for operation guidance is displayed on touch panel 110 first. Then, i15 on the map is a history icon that is dark blue and indicates the position at which manual recording was performed.

  Also, i16 on the map is a history icon that is yellow and indicates the position at which the level 3 event recording has been performed.

  Furthermore, i17 on the map is a history icon that is red and indicates the position at which the level 5 event recording was performed.

  Furthermore, i18 on the map is a history icon that is green and indicates the position at which the level 1 event recording was performed.

  Furthermore, i 19 on the map is an icon representing the current position and the traveling direction of the vehicle in which the integrated device 1000 is installed.

As described above, by displaying not only the event icon but also the history icon, it is possible for the user to grasp the place where the event occurs frequently.
<Screen transition>
Next, how the screen changes in accordance with the situation of the car and the operation of the user will be described with reference to the transition diagrams of FIG. 8 to FIG.

  First, FIG. 8 will be referred to. When the first control unit 100 is activated, the main menu is displayed as in the screen S1. In the main menu screen, various functions of navigation, television, music, pictures, and drive recorder can be selected. Among these, the functions of the navigation and drive recorder, which are features of the present embodiment, will be described.

  When the "navi" button 140 is selected on the screen S1, the navigation function is activated, and the screen transitions to the screen S2.

  As described with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 on the screen S2, the event icon and the history icon are displayed on the map for operation guidance, and the operation guidance is executed with voice output. The contents of the display are the contents described in the section of <Display Method> described above. In addition, the method of determining the occurrence of an event by the first control unit 100, the operation at the time of the occurrence of the event, and the like have the contents described in the column of <event occurrence> described above. Here, it is assumed that the user presses the [shortcut] button 140. Here, it is assumed that “camera 210 video” is associated with the [shortcut] button 140. In this case, a transition is made to the screen S3, and on the screen, a real-time video which is a video currently captured by the camera 210 is displayed. In this state, when the user presses the "end" button 140, the screen changes to the screen S2, and the operation guidance is executed again.

  Further, when any of the [icon] buttons 140 is pressed in the state of the screen S2, a process for reproducing a video file corresponding to the pressed event icon or history icon is started. Specifically, the screen transitions to screen S4, and a message indicating that recording is temporarily interrupted is output, and the user's selection of either [Yes] or [No] 140 is accepted.

  Here, the reason for temporarily interrupting the recording at all times is that by doing this, it is prevented that the image data being reproduced is overwritten when it is determined that an event has newly occurred during the image data reproduction. It is because it becomes possible.

  Also, in the case where each image data is assigned a number and listed and managed, and it is determined that an event has newly occurred during image data reproduction, a number assigned to the new image data and It is also possible to prevent a situation in which numbers assigned to image data being reproduced are duplicated. For example, in the case where video recording data currently being reproduced is managed as the latest image data, if new image data is generated, management is made as to which data is the latest data after reproduction is completed. This is because it is possible to prevent such a situation that it can not be done.

  Here, when the user presses the "No" button 140, the screen changes to the screen S2, and the operation guidance is continued.

  On the other hand, when the user presses the [Yes] button 140, the screen transitions to the screen S5, and the event list is displayed on the right half of the screen as described with reference to FIG. Here, instead of reproducing the video file corresponding to the icon selected from the event list on the screen S5, the user desires to reproduce the video file corresponding to the icon selected on the screen S2.

  Therefore, the entire event list is treated as an [event item] button 140, and when the [event item] button 140 is pressed for the first time, the map is moved to a coordinate value at which the icon selected on the screen S2 is located. Then, when the [event item] button 140 is pressed for the second time, the screen transitions to the screen S6 to start moving image reproduction.

  In the screen S6, while performing processing for generation of a moving image, a message of "play video" is displayed. Then, when the message “play video” is displayed for a length of time longer than a predetermined time necessary to perform processing for generating a moving image, it is determined that a timeout has occurred, and transition is made to screen S7. Then, on the screen S7, the video file corresponding to the icon selected on the screen S2 is reproduced.

  When the user presses the [Return] button 140 during or after shooting, the screen transitions to screen S5. Then, when pressing of the [Back] button 140 is accepted on the screen S5, the screen transitions to the screen S2, and the operation guidance is continued. Also, continuous recording is resumed without requiring user operation.

  Next, as described above, when any of the [icon] button 140 is pressed in the state of the screen S2, the user does not play the video file corresponding to the pressed icon, but the user uses the icon from the event list Will be described and an operation at the time of reproducing a video file corresponding to the icon selected from the event list will be described.

  In the state of the screen S2, when the depression of the [MENU] button 140 displayed at the lower part of the screen is accepted, the screen transitions to a screen S8 which is a menu screen of the navigation function.

  Thereafter, when depression of the [register / edit] button 140 is received in the state of the screen S8, the screen transitions to the screen S9 which is a menu screen of registration / edit.

  Then, when pressing of the [event] button 140 is accepted in the state of the screen S9, the screen transitions to the screen S10 of FIG.

  In the screen S10, as in the case of the screen S4, a message to the effect that recording is temporarily interrupted is output, and the user's selection of either the [Yes] or [No] button 140 is accepted. The reason why the constant recording is temporarily interrupted is as described in the explanation of the screen S4.

  Here, if the user presses the "No" button 140, the screen transitions to screen S9 of FIG. 8 which is a menu screen of registration / edit.

  On the other hand, when the user presses the [Yes] button 140, the screen changes to the screen S11, and the event list is displayed on the right half of the screen as described with reference to FIG. Unlike in the case of the screen S5, since the user has not selected an icon on the screen S2, the selection of the user's icon from the event list on the screen S5 is accepted.

  Then, the reproduction of the video file corresponding to the icon selected by the user is started. The subsequent processes on the screen S6 and the screen S7 are the same as the processes when transitioning from the screen S5 to the screen S6, and thus the detailed description will be omitted. Although in FIG. 9 the screen S7 returns the screen S5 when the back button 140 is pressed, the screen S11 may also be returned instead of the screen S7.

  The screen transition when using the car navigation function has been described above. Next, screen transition when using the drive recorder function will be described.

  First, when the [drive recorder] button 140 is pressed on the screen S1, the screen transitions to the screen S12 or the screen S13 described in FIG. Here, although it is a condition of transition to any screen, the integrated device 1000 is not installed in a car, and the integrated device 1000 receives power from a secondary battery included in the power supply unit 310. To the screen S12. On the other hand, when the all-in-one device 1000 is installed in a car and the all-in-one device 1000 receives power from the car, the screen transitions to screen S13.

  First, the case where the former integrated device 1000 is not installed in a car and the integrated device 1000 receives power supply from the secondary battery included in the power supply unit 310, and the case where the screen S12 is transitioned will be described. In this case, since the battery capacity of the secondary battery has an upper limit, it is necessary to suppress power consumption. Further, in this case, the user carries and uses the integrated device 1000, and the camera 210 is not fixed. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively utilize the function of the drive recorder. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when power is supplied from the secondary battery, the function of the drive recorder is not operated. Then, in order to convey that effect to the user, when transition is made to the screen S12, for example, a message such as "the recording / reproduction function of the drive recorder does not operate while the device is being driven by the built-in battery" is displayed. Then, when a predetermined time which is considered to allow the user to recognize this message has elapsed, it is determined that timed out, and the screen transitions to screen S1.

  Next, the case where the integrated device 1000 is installed in a car and the integrated device 1000 receives power supply from the car will be described a case of transition to the screen S13.

  In the screen S13, the real-time image captured by the camera 210 is reproduced in full screen display. Then, when pressing of the touch panel 110 is received from the user in this state, that is, when one of the screens is touched, the screen transitions to the screen S14.

  Then, on the screen S14, the [application end] button 140 is displayed. Then, when the user presses this [application end] button 140, the operation of the application that realizes the drive recorder function is ended, and the screen transitions to screen S1. On the other hand, when depression of the screen is accepted on the screen S14, the process returns to the screen S13 again, and the real-time video is reproduced in full screen display. In the screen S14, for example, a button 140 for changing the setting is displayed, and when the button 140 for changing the setting is pressed, the screen is further transited to, for example, a screen for performing various settings related to the drive recorder function. It is good to do.

When the user's operation is received while the screen S13 and the screen S14 are displayed, the manual recording described with reference to the middle part of FIG. 2 is started with this as a trigger. That is, the real-time video reproduced on the screen S13 and the screen S14 is used as a preview image for performing manual recording.
<Battery control>
Next, control of the battery in the present embodiment will be described.

  The power supply unit 310 of the integrated device 1000 of the present embodiment receives power supply from an external device via the USB terminal 320 as described with reference to FIG. 1. Here, the external device is, for example, an automobile in which the integrated device 1000 is installed.

  Specifically, one of the cigarette plug cords is inserted into a cigarette lighter socket of a car. Then, the other of the cigar plug cords is connected to the USB terminal 320. Also, the cigar plug cord uses one with a converter. The cigar plug cord and the converter have, for example, a rated voltage of 5 V and a rated current of 2 A.

  After that, when the engine of the automobile starts, power supply from the cigarette lighter socket is started in conjunction with this. And when the engine of the car stops, the power supply from the cigarette lighter socket also stops.

  Next, the detailed configuration of the power supply unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. Referring to FIG. 11, the power supply unit 310 includes a power control unit 311, a lithium ion battery 312, and a super capacitor 313 (registered trademark). Further, the power supply unit 310 is connected to the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200. Among the functional blocks shown in FIG. 1, functional blocks not directly related to the description of battery control are not shown in FIG.

  Here, the power supply control unit 311 has a function of controlling which device the voltage is applied to. The power control unit 311 is realized by, for example, a power management IC. Further, the first control unit 100 may perform part or all of the control of the power control unit 311. In FIG. 11, signal lines for transmitting and receiving signals for controlling the power control unit 311 by the first control unit 100 are indicated by broken lines. On the other hand, lines for applying a voltage are described in solid lines in FIG.

  The lithium ion battery 312 is a secondary battery that can store electricity by charging and can then be used as a battery. The lithium ion battery 312 is charged by the control of the power supply control unit 311. When the integrated device 1000 receives power supply from an external device, the first control unit 100 is driven by the power supplied from the external device.

  On the other hand, when the integrated device 1000 does not receive power from the external device, the first control unit 100 is driven by the power supplied by the lithium ion battery 312. Further, as described above in the description of <screen transition>, the drive recorder is driven when the integrated device 1000 is not supplied with power from the external device and is driven by the power supplied by the lithium ion battery 312. Stop the function of Since the purpose is to reduce power consumption, not only shuttering down the software that operates in the second control unit 200 but also stopping the application of the voltage to the second control unit 200 itself. Do.

  The super capacitor 313 is a storage battery, and is stored when the integrated device 1000 receives power supply from an external device.

  In this respect, in the present embodiment, when the integrated device 1000 is removed from the vehicle, the second control unit 200 stores the information cached by itself in the second storage unit 230 which is a non-volatile memory, etc. Make sure that the data is not corrupted by performing a shutdown process.

  However, as described above, when the integrated device 1000 is removed from the vehicle, the application of the voltage to the second control unit 200 is stopped. Therefore, the second control unit 200 performs the shutdown process using the charge stored in the super capacitor 313. Therefore, the super capacitor 313 has a capacity that can ensure that the shutdown process is performed.

  The information cached by the second control unit 200 is, for example, a real-time video that has been cached and is not converted into a video file.

  The first control unit 100 also controls the power supply. For example, among the components shown in FIG. 1, the first control unit 100 particularly includes the touch panel 110, the speaker 120, the notification LED 130, the button 140, the television tuner 150, the GPS sensor 160, the acceleration sensor 170, and the first memory. The power control of the unit 180 and the main storage unit 190 is performed. In addition, the first control unit 100 may perform part or all of the control of the power control unit 311.

  On the other hand, the second control unit 200 performs power control of the camera 210, the microphone 220, and the second storage unit 230, among the units shown in FIG.

  Next, the basic idea of battery control in the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the start of the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 and the charging of the super capacitor 313 and the lithium ion battery 312 are not all performed in parallel, but are controlled by controlling the timing. Do it in stages. This is to start up the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 and to charge the super capacitor 313 and the lithium ion battery 312 without exceeding the rated current of the cigar plug cord.

  Here, the rated current of the cigar plug cord is, for example, 2A. In this regard, it is also conceivable to use a cigar plug cord exceeding the rated current 2A. However, as the rated current increases, it is necessary to make the cigar plug cord thicker. The reason is that the conductor such as the electric wire forming the cord is small in resistance, and there is a possibility that the insulation coating may be melted due to the heat generation, so the cord needs to be thicker as the current is increased.

  However, thickening the cord makes it difficult to manage the cord, which is very inconvenient for the user who uses the integrated device 1000 in a limited space in a car. There is also the problem that the use of thick cords increases the manufacturing cost.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the activation of the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 and the charging of the super capacitor 313 and the lithium ion battery 312 are not all performed in parallel. It is performed in stages by controlling the timing to perform. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the maximum value of the current at the start of the integrated device 1000 is suppressed.

  Next, the power control process of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 12 and the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the engine of the automobile starts with the integrated device 1000 connected to the car charger in the shutdown state. Along with this, the supply of power to the integrated device 1000 is started (Yes in step A1).

  Then, the power supply control unit 311 starts application of a voltage to the first control unit 100. As a result, the first control unit 100 starts the activation process (step A2). The activation processing includes, for example, processing for activating the touch panel 110 and the GPS sensor 160.

  The first control unit 100 that has performed the activation process performs display on the touch panel 110. At this time, what is displayed is the screen S1 shown in FIG. Then, in response to the depression of the [navigation] button 140, the navigation function is executed (step A3). In addition, even if the [drive recorder] button 140 is pressed, the drive recorder function is not yet executed. Therefore, as in the screen S14 shown in FIG. 14, a message such as "Starting the drive recorder. Please wait for a while" is displayed on the screen. Then, when a predetermined time which is considered to allow the user to recognize this message has elapsed, it is determined that timed out, and the screen transitions to screen S1. As described above, first, the first control unit 100 is activated to perform display on the touch panel 110, thereby enabling the user to be notified that the activation process is being performed.

  Also, the power control unit 311 starts application of a voltage to the super capacitor 313. Along with this, the supercapacitor 313 starts storing electricity, and the voltage of the supercapacitor 313 rises (step A4).

  Next, it is determined whether the current voltage of the super capacitor 313 is larger than a predetermined first voltage (step A5). Then, when the current voltage of the super capacitor 313 becomes higher than the predetermined first voltage (Yes in step A5), the power supply control unit 311 starts application of the voltage to the second control unit 200. Thus, the second control unit 200 starts the activation process. The activation processing includes processing for activating the camera 210 and the microphone 220.

  However, if the drive recorder function is performed, the maximum value of the current may exceed the rated current of the cigar plug cord. Therefore, although the second control unit 200 performs start processing, the function of the drive recorder is not executed yet. Therefore, even if the [drive recorder] button 140 is pressed at this time, a message such as the screen S14 shown in FIG. 14 is displayed as in step A3, and the function of the drive recorder is not executed.

  Next, it is determined whether the current voltage of the super capacitor 313 has become larger than a predetermined second voltage (step A7). Here, the predetermined second voltage is a value larger than the predetermined first voltage.

  Then, when the current voltage of the super capacitor 313 becomes larger than the predetermined second voltage (Yes in step A7), the super capacitor 313 is sufficiently charged, and a large amount of current is stored in the charge of the super capacitor 313. Is not necessary. Therefore, the process proceeds to step A8 triggered by the determination of Yes in step A7, and the second control unit 200 executes the drive recorder function (step A8). Furthermore, the power supply control unit 311 starts application of a voltage to the lithium ion battery 312. Thereby, charging of the lithium ion battery 312 is started (step A9).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the timing of applying a voltage to each part included in the integrated device 1000 is controlled. As a result, it is possible to suppress the maximum value of the current when the integrated device 1000 is started, and to eliminate the need to make the cigar plug cord thicker than necessary.

  This point will be described using specific values. For example, it is assumed that, for example, 1.3 A is used along with the application of the voltage to the first control unit 100 in step A2. Further, it is assumed that 0.5 A is used, for example, at least until Yes in step A5 in accordance with the application of the voltage to the super capacitor 313 in step A4. Furthermore, it is assumed that, for example, 0.2 to 0.3 A is used along with the application of the voltage to the second control unit 200 in step A6. Further, it is assumed that, for example, 0.35 A is used along with the application of the voltage to the lithium ion battery 312 in step A9.

  When these currents are summed, a total of 2.35 to 2.36 A is required, which exceeds the rated current 2 A of the above-mentioned cigar plug cord. However, in the present embodiment, by controlling the timing of applying a voltage to each part included in the integrated device 1000, the integrated device 1000 can be started without exceeding the rated current 2A.

  Next, battery control after activation of the integrated device 1000 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The integrated device 1000 executing the navigation function and the drive recorder function continues to monitor whether or not the power supply from the car charger is interrupted due to the stop of the automobile engine. Also, monitoring of whether integrated device 1000 has been removed from the car charger is continued by removing the cigar plug cord from USB terminal 320 or by removing the cigar plug cord from the car charger (at step A10). No and No in step A12).

  Then, when the supply of power from the car charger is interrupted due to the stop of the automobile engine (Yes in step A10), shutdown processing of the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 is performed. At this time, the shutdown process of the first control unit 100 is performed by the power supply by the lithium ion battery 312, and the shutdown process of the second control unit 200 is performed by the power supply of the super capacitor 313. Then, the process returns to step A1 and stands by until the supply of power again.

  On the other hand, when the integrated device 1000 is removed from the car charger by removing the cigar plug cord from the USB terminal 320 or by removing the cigar plug cord from the car charger (Yes in step A12), the second The controller 200 starts the shutdown process by supplying power from the super capacitor 313. By doing this, the user can not use the drive recorder function, but since the first control unit 100 does not particularly shut down, the navigation function can be used continuously. That is, the integrated device 1000 can be used as a portable navigation. The first control unit 100 continues the operation by the power supply from the lithium ion battery 312. As described above, since only one of the two control units can be shut down, the other control unit does not have to be shut down and restarted, and the operation can be continued as it is.

  Next, it is determined whether it is connected again to the car charger of the car and whether it is connected to an external device other than the car. Here, the external device is, for example, a personal computer connected to the USB terminal 320 via a USB cable. It may be determined, for example, by a signal output from a USB cable whether the connected one is a car charger of a car or a personal computer. For example, the connector of USB is 5 lines (VBus / D- / D + / ID / GND). When the ID line is shorted to the GND line, it can be determined that the ID line is connected to the personal computer. On the other hand, if the ID line is open (no connection), it can be determined that the car charger is connected.

  If it is connected to a car (Yes in step A14: car), the process returns to step A1 and stands by until the supply of power again.

  On the other hand, if it is connected to the external device (Yes in step A14: external device), the process proceeds to step A15, and the first control unit 100 is shut down. This is because, when the integrated device 1000 is connected to a personal computer, it is considered that it is not necessary to further execute the navigation function. In addition, the output of the USB terminal 320 of the personal computer may not be able to supply a current for driving the integrated device 1000.

  Then, after shutting down the first control unit 100, charging of the lithium ion battery 312 is started in preparation for using the integrated device 1000 as portable navigation again (step A16).

  Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not it has been removed from the external device (step A17). Then, when it is removed from the external device (Yes in step A17), in order to realize the function of the portable navigation, the first control unit 100 starts the start processing by power feeding from the lithium ion battery 312 (step A18).

  Then, the first control unit 100 performs display on the touch panel 110 and executes a navigation function.

As described above with reference to FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, when the engine of the automobile is stopped and power supply from the car charger is interrupted, when removed from the car charger, and when connected to an external device, In each case, it is possible to drive or shut down the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 as appropriate.
<Car navigation>
Next, the car navigation function by the first control unit 100 will be described in more detail. The first control unit 100 determines the current position detected by the GPS sensor 160 and the traffic monitoring point stored in the main storage unit 190. And the like, when the position of the target object is in a predetermined positional relationship, a predetermined alarm is output. Therefore, the main storage unit 190 has more information such as information on the target to be detected (target position information including the longitude and latitude, target type information, etc.), accident prone areas, traffic control information, etc. Traffic safety information for driving safely, and various information useful for landmarks and driving. Each piece of information is registered in association with specific information types (type of target, type of traffic control, accident frequently occurring area, name of landmark, etc.) and position information.

  The distance to the target when the alarm is issued can be changed for each type of target. As the modes of the alarm, there are an alarm by sound etc. using the speaker 120, an alarm using the touch panel 110, etc., as described above. In the present embodiment, since the integrated device 1000 realizes a car navigation function, it has map data.

  Therefore, as a basic screen, the first control unit 100 has a function of reading out road network information around the current position and displaying a map around the current position on the touch panel 110. Then, the warning screen is displayed on the touch panel 110 superimposed on the screen currently displayed. When the map is displayed, a warning screen is displayed when the distance between the current position and the LH system, which is a type of speed measurement device which is one of the traffic monitoring points, is 500 m, for example. Furthermore, the first control unit 100 performs a process of outputting from the speaker 120 a warning sound indicating an alarm type and a distance such as “It is a 500 m ahead LH system”.

  On the other hand, the first control unit 100 for realizing the navigation function also operates as follows. First, the main storage unit 190 stores road network information for navigation.

  The first control unit 100 has a function of reading road network information around the current position from the main storage unit 190 and displaying a map around the current position on the touch panel 110. The first control unit 100 can search for a route from one position to another using this road network information. Also, the main storage unit 190 associates the telephone number database storing the telephone number with the location information and the name of the house, company, facility, etc. of the telephone number, and the address and the location information of the address. It has a stored address database. Further, in the main storage unit 190, position information of traffic monitoring points such as a speed measuring device is stored together with its type.

  Further, the first control unit 100 has a function of performing processing of a general navigation device. That is, a map around the current position is displayed on the touch panel 110 as needed, and the destination setting button 140 is displayed. When the touch panel 110 detects a touch at a position corresponding to the display position of the destination setting button 140, the first control unit 100 performs a destination setting process. In the destination setting process, a destination setting menu is displayed on the touch panel 110 to prompt the user to select a destination setting method. The destination setting menu has a telephone number search button 140 and an address search button 140 for prompting the user to select a destination setting method. When it is detected that the telephone number search button 140 is touched, the input screen of the telephone number is displayed, and the position information corresponding to the input telephone number is acquired from the main storage unit 190. When it is detected that the address search button 140 is touched, the address selection screen is displayed, and position information corresponding to the input address is acquired from the main storage unit 190. Then, the acquired position information is set as the position information of the destination, and a recommended route from the current position to the destination is obtained based on the road network information stored in the main storage unit 190. As a method of calculating the recommended route, for example, a known method such as Dijkstra method can be used.

  Then, the first control unit 100 displays the calculated recommended route together with the surrounding map. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, a route i23 from the current position i21 to the destination i22 is displayed as a recommended route in a predetermined color (for example, red). This is similar to a general navigation system. Then, in the present embodiment, the first control unit 100 compares the position information on the route i23 with the position information on the target such as the traffic monitoring point stored in the main storage unit 190, and locates on the route i23. Display the location of traffic monitoring points etc.

  Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, the balloon is displayed from the position on the road, and the type of the traffic monitoring point at that position stored in the main storage unit 190 is displayed in the balloon. For example, FIG. 15A is a display example of the warning point search screen, and shows an example in which the traffic monitoring points i25a to i25f are displayed. The traffic monitoring point i 25 a displays the letter “N” indicating the N system in the balloon. The traffic monitoring points i 25 b, i 25 c, i 25 e display the letters “LH” indicating the LH system in the balloon. The traffic monitoring point i 25 d displays the letters “loop” indicating a loop coil in the balloon. The traffic monitoring point i 25 f displays the letter “H” indicating the H system in the balloon. As described above, when the touch panel 1108 detects a touch to the balloon position of the simplified display state in which characters are displayed in the balloon, as shown in FIG. 4B, the simplified display is switched to the detailed display.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, on the lower right side in the touch panel 110, a traffic monitoring point type designation unit i26 is displayed. The traffic monitoring point type designation unit i26 is a part that displays a button 140 listing the types of traffic monitoring points present on the route i23. In the example of FIG. 4A, the type button 140i27a of "N" indicating the N system of the traffic monitoring point i25a, the type button 140i27b of "LH" indicating the LH system of the traffic monitoring points i25b, i25c, i25e, and traffic The “loop” type button 140i 27 c indicating the loop coil of the monitoring point i 25 d and the “H” type button 140 i 27 d indicating the H system of the traffic monitoring point i 25 f are displayed. When the first control unit 100 detects a touch on the display unit of the type button 140 from the touch panel 1108, the first control unit 100 reversely displays the type button 140 touched and a traffic monitoring point corresponding to the type button 140 touched. The display mode is switched to the detailed display if the simple display is in progress, and is switched to the detailed display if the detailed display is on.

  The integrated device 1000 of the present embodiment is provided with a peripheral search function as a method of setting a destination (hereinafter, also including a via point). When this peripheral search function is selected and activated, the first control unit 100 extracts facilities that meet the specified conditions and are close to the current position, and draws the extraction results on the touch panel 110. Do. Then, the user can designate any one of the candidates drawn on the touch panel 110 as a destination (including a passing point) by confirming and selecting one.

  That is, in order to realize such a function, the main storage unit 190 of the present embodiment stores the information about each facility in association with the information on the classification of the facility together with the position information. Information on the classification of facilities is a plurality of types of items grouped by names of genres that each facility matches.

  In the present embodiment, when any item is designated, the first control unit 100 extracts facilities that match the designated item and which are close to the current position, and extracts the extraction result as the destination. Are drawn on the touch panel 110 as candidates for The user can designate as a destination by selecting any one of the candidates drawn on the touch panel 110.

  When one of the items is selected, the first control unit 100 accesses the main storage unit 190, and is a facility existing within a reference distance (for example, 10 km) centered on the current position and designated. Extract the items that match the category of the item. Then, an icon (mark) indicating the facility is drawn in a superimposed manner on the corresponding part on the map drawn on the touch panel 110 with a predetermined number (for example, 10) of facilities starting from the closest one. As the information of the facility stored in the main storage unit 190, each icon is registered in association with each facility, and at the time of drawing, the associated icon is read and drawn at a predetermined position on the touch panel 110.

  If the current position is present on the map drawn on the touch panel 110, the vehicle icon indicating the vehicle is drawn overlappingly at the position corresponding to the current position. Furthermore, when drawing an icon of such a facility, numbers are added and displayed in order of proximity to the vehicle. As the vehicle moves, the numbers will be updated as needed.

  Then, when the user selects a desired facility, the first control unit 100 that recognizes it determines a recommended route with the facility as a destination, and draws the result on the map of the touch panel 110 in a superimposed manner.

  Furthermore, the first control unit 100 has a function of performing route guidance to a set destination. That is, the first control unit 100 draws the map information representing a road or the like on the touch panel 110 while sequentially detecting the vehicle position by the GPS or the autonomous navigation according to the selection of the guidance start by the user, and the destination We will guide you through the image and voice.

The instruction input such as designation or selection by the user triggers that the first control unit 100 detects that the button 140 with the item or function name displayed on the touch panel 110 or the facility icon is touched. Can be done as.
<Implementation example>
The integrated device 1000 described above can be mounted on an electronic device, for example, as follows.

  FIG. 16 is a six-sided view showing an example of the appearance of the electronic device in which the integrated device 1000 is mounted. In FIG. 16, a front view is shown in the second row of the center row. Here, in FIG. 16, the surface facing the touch panel 110 when the integrated device 1000 is installed is a front view. A touch panel 110 is disposed on the front of the integrated device 1000. Further, the button 140 or the like is not disposed on the bezel surrounding the touch panel 110, so that the visual observation of the touch panel 110 is not hindered.

  A left side view is shown on the left of the front view. A first storage unit 180, a notification LED 130b, and a USB terminal 320 are disposed on the left side of the integrated device 1000. The first storage unit 180 is realized by an SD slot, and an SD card as a storage medium is inserted into the SD slot. The notification LED 130 b is an LED that indicates whether or not the power is supplied, and lights up, for example, green while the power is supplied. A cigar plug cord 504 is connected to the USB terminal 320, and the integrated device 1000 receives power from the car charger via the cigar plug cord 504, as described in the section <Battery control>. In order to clearly show the shape of the integrated device 1000, the illustration of the cord portion extending from the socket of the cigar plug cord is omitted in FIG.

  The right side view is shown on the right of the front view. The second storage unit 230 is disposed on the right side of the integrated device 1000. The second storage unit 230 is realized by an SD slot, and an SD card as a storage medium is inserted into the SD slot.

  A top view is shown above the front view. The notification LED 130 a, the button 140 a, the button 140 b, and the button 140 c are disposed on the upper surface of the integrated device 1000. The notification LED 130a is used for indicating whether or not continuous recording is being performed by the all-in-one device 1000, and for example, lights up in red when continuous recording is not performed. A button 140a is a button 140 for starting manual recording, and event recording is started upon depression of the button 140a. The button 140 b is a button 140 for stopping or resuming video recording at all times, and the video recording is always stopped or resumed each time pressing is received. The button 140c is a button 140 for turning on or off the integrated device 1000. When the power is on, the integrated device 1000 is turned off when it receives a press, and when the power is turned off, it is one if it is pressed. The figure device 1000 is turned on.

  The third row in the middle row shows the rear view. The camera 210 and the joint unit 502 are disposed on the back of the integrated device 1000. Further, an edge 501 a, an edge 501 b, an edge 501 c and an edge 501 d are formed on the back surface of the integrated device 1000. The unit of the camera 210 is incorporated into the integrated device 1000 by a ball joint, and the camera 210 is movable. The movable range of the camera 210 is, for example, 15 degrees in each direction. That is, if the camera 210 is at the center, it moves, for example, 15 degrees upward and 15 degrees downward. The joint portion is a portion for attaching the integrated device 1000 to a cradle for fixing the integrated device 1000. The edge 501a, the edge 501b, the edge 501c, and the edge 501d are ridge lines formed on the back surface. The edge 501 a, the edge 501 b, the edge 501 c, and the edge 501 d are curved so as not to get caught by the hand of the user who carries the integrated device 1000.

  In the third row of the middle row, the bottom view is shown. Then, a speaker slit 503 is provided on the bottom surface of the integrated device 1000. The speaker slit 503 is a slit from which the sound output from the speaker 120 of the integrated device 1000 is output. The details of the speaker slit 503 and the speaker 120 will be described later.

  Here, as described above, the integrated device 1000 provides four sides on the back by providing four ridges on the back, the edge 501a, the edge 501b, the edge 501c, and the edge 501d. Further, as can be seen with reference to, for example, a bottom view, a top view, a left side view and a right side view, the camera 210 is at the top, and a downward slope is provided to each end on the back.

  In this regard, it is also conceivable to realize the housing of the integrated device 1000 as a flat rectangular shape by making the thickness of each end and the camera 210 equal without providing such an inclination. However, if such a shape is used, the entire integrated device 1000 becomes large and portability is lost.

  Also, the reason why the camera 210 portion is thickened and the camera 210 portion is at the top is due to the size of the camera 210 unit forming the camera 210. Therefore, the camera 210 can not be thinned. On the other hand, other circuits can be thinner than the camera 210 portion. Therefore, even if the thickness of each end and the camera 210 is equalized, useless space is only generated in the housing of the integrated device 1000. Also from this point of view, it is not necessary to make the housing of the integrated device 1000 into a flat rectangular shape.

  Therefore, in the present implementation example, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the back surface by providing a downward slope to each end of the back surface with the camera 210 at the top. As a result, it is possible to prevent unnecessary thickening, lack of portability, and generation of useless space in the housing.

  Further, other features of this implementation example will be described with reference to FIG. The left side of the integrated device 1000 is shown in FIG. 17 (a). As described with reference to FIG. 16, the USB terminal 320 for connecting the cigar plug cord 504 is disposed on the left side surface of the integrated device 1000. And the notch 505 is formed in the peripheral right half of the USB terminal 320 when it sees from left side. Here, the notch 505 when viewed from the left side is substantially vertical from the top to the bottom up to the height at which the USB terminal 320 is provided, but is higher than the height at which the USB terminal 320 is provided. The lower part is curved to the left to draw an arc.

  The back of the integrated device 1000 is shown in FIG. 17 (b). The notch 505 when viewed from the back has different left and right lengths of the upper part (for example, about two thirds of the whole) and left and right lengths of the lower part (for example, about one third of the whole) ing. Specifically, the left and right lengths of the lower portion are short.

  The reason why the notch 505 has such a shape will be described with reference to FIG. 17 (c). FIG. 17C is a left side view showing a state in which the cigar plug cord 504 is attached to the USB terminal 320. As shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 17C, a cigar plug code 504 and a code portion 504-1 extending from the cigar plug code 504 are shown.

  First, as described with reference to FIG. 17B, the notch 505 when viewed from the back has a shorter length in the left and right of the lower portion, which corresponds to the thickness of the cable. ing. Therefore, when viewed from the back, the cord portion 504-1 does not shift to the left and right, and follows the shape of the notch 505. The cord portion 504-1 hangs along a curved shape to the left so as to draw an arc when viewed from the left side surface of the notch 505. That is, the shape curved to the left so as to draw an arc when viewed from the left side surface of the notch 505 guides the cord portion 504-1 of the cigar plug cord 504 in a desired direction rather than hanging it down.

  By doing this, it becomes possible to prevent the cord section 504-1 from going in an unintended direction. In addition, since the arc is drawn, it is possible to prevent the cord from being bent at an acute angle. This makes it possible to extend the life of the cord.

  Further, the left and right width of the notch 505 when viewed from the back of the integrated device 1000 is such a width that the cigar plug cord 504 and the cord portion 504-1 can not be seen by the user when the integrated device 1000 is viewed from the front. It is good to do. As a result, only the rectangular shape on the front surface of the integrated device 1000 is visible to the user, which creates a sense of unity.

  Furthermore, the left and right width of the notch 505 when viewed from the back of the integrated device 1000 is such that the cigar plug cord 504 and the cord portion 504-1 can be seen by the user when the integrated device 1000 is viewed from the front. Good. This allows the user to confirm that the cigar plug cord 504 is connected to the USB terminal 320.

  Further, other features of this implementation example will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a rear view of the all-in-one device 1000 and shows the shape of the case where the back of the cover for realizing the housing of the all-in-one device 1000 is removed.

  In FIG. 18, a speaker unit 506, a speaker holding unit 507, and a speaker slit corresponding position 508 that represents a position corresponding to the position of the speaker slit 503 are shown.

  The speaker unit 506 corresponds to the speaker 120 of FIG. 1 and generates sounds such as voice for operation guidance, warning sound, music and the like by a diaphragm. Here, generally, a sound emission hole for guiding the sound generated by the diaphragm to the outside of the cover is provided in a portion corresponding to the speaker unit 506 on the back surface of the cover realizing the housing of the integrated device 1000.

  However, in the present implementation example, it is assumed that the integrated device 1000 is carried, and it is conceivable that the user sees the back. In such a case, if the sound release hole is provided, the appearance of the appearance is impaired.

  Therefore, in the present implementation example, the speaker holding unit 507 not only holds the speaker unit 506 but also surrounds the periphery of the speaker unit 506. However, the lower part of the speaker unit 506 does not surround the speaker unit 506. As a result, the sound generated by the diaphragm is guided from the lower part of the speaker unit 506 to the speaker slit corresponding position 508, and is finally derived from the speaker slit 503. As a result, it is possible to output sound to the outside without providing a sound output hole in a portion corresponding to the speaker unit 506 on the back surface of the cover that realizes the housing of the integrated device 1000. This makes it possible to prevent the appearance of the sound emission hole from being impaired.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, a view of a state in which the integrated device 1000 is mounted on the cradle 2000 and the pedestal portion 3000 in order to fix the integrated device 1000 to a dashboard or the like will be described. In this mounting example, the cradle 2000 can be attached to and detached from the joint portion 502 shown in FIG. 16 and installed on the dashboard of the vehicle together with the cradle 2000 for use, or the integrated device 1000 can be removed from the cradle 2000 for portable navigation Use as.

Cradle 2000 is further connected to pedestal 3000. The pedestal 3000 is
The cradle 2000 is supported in any posture. The pedestal portion 3000 is fixed by suction on a dashboard or the like by a suction cup, a suction sheet or the like provided on the bottom surface. The pedestal portion 3000 and the cradle 2000 are rotatably coupled within a predetermined angular range via a coupling mechanism such as a ball joint. Since the ball joint is a ball joint, the pedestal portion 3000 and the cradle body 2000 relatively rotate within an arbitrary angular range in the three-dimensional direction, and retain their positions at arbitrary angular positions due to frictional resistance at the joint portion. Thus, the integrated device 1000 attached to the cradle 2000 can also be arranged in any position on the dashboard.
<Modification>
The above-described embodiment and implementation examples are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment alone, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It may be carried out in the form of

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the shapes of the icons displayed on the map are made different according to the presence or absence of the video file. In addition, the color of the icon displayed on the map was changed according to the level of the event. Furthermore, numbers were assigned to events according to time series, and the order was displayed numerically. That is, the display mode of each icon is made different according to such conditions. Here, making the display mode different includes, for example, making the display of the color, shape, size, number of the icon, etc. different.

  In this respect, the correspondence between the way of changing the display mode and the condition for changing the display mode is not necessarily limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the colors of the icons displayed on the map may be made different depending on the presence or absence of the video file. Also, it is preferable to make both the color and the shape different. For example, the numbers of the icons displayed on the map may be made different depending on the level of the event. Further, in the case where there is a first condition such as the presence or absence of a video file and a second condition such as a level of an event, the display modes may be made different depending on the condition.

  For example, the oldest file may not be deleted when performing continuous recording. As a result, although it is not possible to store new real-time video, it is possible to prevent old real-time video from being erased.

  In addition, it is preferable to always start and stop recording in conjunction with the supply of power. As a result, it is possible to always perform recording constantly without requiring a user operation.

  Furthermore, the oldest file may not be deleted even if an event occurs newly in manual recording and event recording or if there is a user operation. This prevents the protection of new files, but prevents the deletion of files protected in the past.

  Furthermore, even files that have been protected by manual recording and event recording may be deleted according to user operations and settings. As a result, after confirming the contents, it is possible to delete files that are considered unnecessary and to increase the free space of the storage unit.

  Furthermore, in the list of icons such as i13, an event icon or history icon pressed on the map may be placed at the top of the list. It is also possible to rearrange events in chronological order based on the date and time when the event occurred.

  Furthermore, when the first recording unit and the second storage unit 230 can use the same type of storage medium, for example, the capacity of the storage medium used in the second storage unit 230 becomes maximum Alternatively, it may be replaced with the storage medium used in the first storage unit 180 and used. Thereby, two storage media can be used properly depending on the situation. Further, it is preferable that the first control unit 100 can reproduce the video file by inserting the storage medium storing the video file into the first storage unit 180 by the second control unit 200.

  Furthermore, when it is determined that an event has occurred, control may be performed so as not to execute a function that is an obstacle to capturing real-time video. The function which becomes an obstacle to the imaging of real time video, for example, is the sound output function of the television. By doing this, when it is determined that at least an event has occurred when capturing image data, the sound of the television is stopped, and it is possible to prevent the sound of the television from being mixed in the data to be captured.

  Furthermore, when it is determined that an event has occurred, event recording may not be performed even if the measurement value of the acceleration sensor 170 exceeds any of a plurality of threshold values. Thus, for example, when it is determined that an event occurs frequently based on a slight impact, the video file is not stored even if it is determined that an event occurs based on the slight impact. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where the number of video files increases too much and the capacity of the storage medium is used up immediately. For example, depending on the type of vehicle, road conditions, driving habits, etc., if it is frequently judged that an event with the most sensitive threshold has occurred, the important recording data will be overwritten immediately if recording is performed each time . Therefore, in such a case, for example, even if it is determined that an event with the most sensitive threshold has occurred, the video file may not be stored.

  Furthermore, since the camera 210 is movable, either or both of the incident position and the orientation of the incident part 211 of the camera 210 may be adjusted to be adjustable. By doing this, it is possible to adjust the incident position even after the automobile integrated apparatus 1000 is installed. As a result, the range to be captured can be adjusted so as to correspond to the shape and the installation position of the automobile, and it becomes possible to capture image data of a desired range.

  Furthermore, the threshold for judging that an event has occurred can be set to a different value for each measurement axis, so that the threshold for the measurement axis corresponding to the traveling direction of the vehicle is higher than the threshold for other measurement axes. It is also good. In this way, it is possible to use a threshold value according to the usage condition of the integrated device 1000, and to prevent erroneous determination that an event has occurred when no event has occurred. It becomes.

  In this regard, depending on the usage condition of the integrated device 1000, the measured value by the acceleration sensor 170 may rise in the predetermined direction regardless of the occurrence of the event. For example, when the front surface of the integrated device 1000 is the touch panel 110, the user presses the touch panel 110 to measure the acceleration sensor 170 on the measurement axis corresponding to the back surface direction from the front surface of the integrated device 1000. The value goes up. This is not related to the occurrence of an event, so in such a case, it is preferable not to judge that an event has occurred.

  Therefore, for example, in the measurement axis corresponding to the direction from the front to the back of the integrated device 1000, the threshold may be increased. For example, when the integrated device 1000 is installed in a car, the front surface of the integrated device 1000 provided with the touch panel 110 faces the front of the user, and the rear surface of the integrated device 1000 faces the traveling direction of the vehicle. Therefore, for example, when the traveling direction of the vehicle is in front, the measurement axis corresponding to the traveling direction of the vehicle is X direction (front to back), and when the traveling direction of the vehicle is front, the measurement axis corresponding to the left and right of the vehicle is Y direction When the traveling direction of the vehicle is in front, the measurement axes corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the vehicle may be the Z direction (left and right), and the threshold for the measurement axis in the X direction (front and rear) may be increased.

  This makes it possible to determine that an event has not occurred even if a slight impact is detected.

  Furthermore, even if the measured value of the acceleration sensor 170 exceeds the threshold, if the threshold is exceeded for a predetermined period including the time when the touch panel 110 receives an operation, it is not determined that an event has occurred. You should do it. As described above, for example, the measurement value by the acceleration sensor 170 rises on the measurement axis corresponding to the front surface direction to the back surface direction of the integrated device 1000. This is not related to the occurrence of an event, so in such a case, it is preferable not to judge that an event has occurred. Therefore, if it is during a predetermined period including the time of accepting the operation, it is not determined that an event has occurred. As a result, even when the acceleration sensor 170 measures an impact associated with the operation, it is possible to prevent an erroneous determination that an event has occurred based on this. In such a case, it is determined that an event has occurred and event recording is performed, but for example, pop-up display indicating that the event has occurred or output of a warning sound may not be performed. This makes it possible to prevent a situation in which a warning is output even though the acceleration sensor 170 measures an impact accompanying an operation and makes an erroneous determination that an event has occurred.

  When the vehicle is located in the vicinity of the place where the event has occurred, at least a part of the functions executed by the integrated device 1000 to be controlled by the integrated device 1000 may be limited. By doing this, it is possible for the user to concentrate on driving the vehicle at the place where the event occurred last time. In places where events have occurred in the past, it is often desirable to drive in a tight manner. For example, it is assumed that there is a place where it is determined that an event has occurred since the previous braking was applied. In this case, the function of the integrated device 1000 to be controlled is partially restricted in the vicinity of this place. For example, the audio output function of the television may be limited. By doing this, it is possible to stop outputting the sound of the television, which is an obstacle to driving, near the place where the vehicle was suddenly braked, and it is possible for the user to concentrate on driving the car.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to output, for example, the moving speed of the vehicle as measurement information other than the acceleration measured when the event occurs. This allows the user to prove, for example, that the event occurred at or below the legal speed, or that he was slowly following. The moving speed of the car can be calculated, for example, by using GPS position information. It is also possible to obtain the moving speed of the car by using, for example, OBD (On-board diagnostics).

  In the above description, it has been described that the event icon and the history icon are displayed on the map including the current position of the car in which the integrated device 1000 is installed. In other words, he explained displaying the map around the car. In addition to this, when performing route search and destination search, it is preferable to display an event icon and a history icon for manual recording and event recording that occur around the route and around the destination. This allows the user to refer to the icon even at places not including the current position of the car.

  Furthermore, in accordance with pressing of the event icon or the history icon, it is also possible to provide operation guidance up to the position of the event icon or the history icon. By doing this, it is possible to easily return to the place where the accident occurred in the past, the place where the event frequently occurs, or the place where the user manually made the recording.

  Furthermore, the information for navigation stored in the main storage unit 190 may store all the information about the whole country at the time of shipping. In addition, map data etc. is provided in the storage medium for each region, and the user prepares a storage medium storing necessary map data etc. and mounts it in the first storage unit 180. May be used. The map data and the like stored in the storage medium may be transferred to and stored in the main storage unit 190. Further, the first control unit 100 may access the storage medium and read it from there for use.

  Although three storage units are provided as in the main storage unit 190, the first storage unit 180, and the second storage unit 230 in the embodiment described above, it is not necessary to provide three storage units. For example, the first control unit 100 may not be provided.

  Although the software for realizing control by the first control unit 100 is described as being stored in the main storage unit 190 in the above-described embodiment, some or all of the software may be stored in the first storage unit 190 instead of the main storage unit 190. It may be stored in the ROM included in the control unit 100 of FIG.

  Although the threshold may be adjustable by the user, the threshold may be fixed in consideration of the fact that the user generally does not know how much the threshold is adjusted. This makes it possible to prevent the user from setting an inappropriate threshold.

  In the above description, each icon is not simply displayed in color, but, for example, the icon is a circled number including numbers in chronological order. At this time, the numbers may be assigned in descending order or in ascending order along the time series. That is, the number of the latest icon may be 1, and the number of the oldest icon may be 10. Also, the number of the latest icon may be 10 and the number of the oldest icon may be 1.

  In the above description, the video file is reproduced through the first control unit 100. However, the video file may be output directly from the second control unit 200 to the touch panel 110. Further, the process of decoding two video files into image data may be performed by the first control unit 100 instead of the second control unit 200.

  In the above description, the “shortcut” button 140 may be associated with “television image” instead of being associated with “camera 210 image”. The user refers to the “camera 210 video” when the integrated device 1000 is installed, but after installation, it is considered to refer to the “television video”, which makes it possible to improve the usability of the user.

  In addition, even when the [shortcut] button 140 is pressed to transit to the screen S3, it is preferable to continue the operation guidance by voice. This can prevent the inconvenience that the operation guide is interrupted.

  In addition, a button 140 for receiving an operation serving as a trigger for performing manual recording may be displayed on the screen, that is, on the touch panel 110. In addition, it is preferable to receive an operation that triggers manual recording with the button 140 that is a hard key instead of the button 140 displayed on the touch panel 110. As a result, since it is not necessary to provide the button 140 on the touch panel 110, for example, it is possible to prevent the real-time video displayed on the full screen on the screen S13 from being partially obscured by the button 140. .

  Although step A3 is performed after step A3 in the description of FIG. 12, steps A3 and A4 may be simultaneously performed if they fall within the rated current range of the cigar plug cord. This makes it possible to shorten the time until the second control unit 200 starts up.

  Furthermore, the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 170 differs depending on factors such as the driving style of the individual, the type of vehicle, and the road on which the vehicle always travels. Therefore, in some cases, it may be considered that the threshold used to determine that an event has occurred is too low. In this case, there is a possibility that the event may be erroneously detected even though the event has not occurred. On the other hand, in some cases, it may be considered that the threshold used to determine that an event has occurred is too high. In this case, there is a possibility that the event may be erroneously detected as not occurring although the event has occurred.

  Therefore, it is also possible to allow the user to correct the threshold set at the time of shipment. Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of threshold values are provided, and the color of the icon displayed on the map is made different depending on which threshold value the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 170 exceeds. By doing this, the user can use icons with different colors as a guide when personal setting of the individual difference of the threshold due to the driving manner of the individual, the vehicle type, the road which always travels, etc.

  Also, if it is considered difficult for the user to set the threshold, the user may not be able to correct the threshold set at the time of shipment.

  Furthermore, when inserting an SD card or the like as a storage medium into the second storage unit 230, the number of moving image data stored according to the storage capacity of the SD card is limited, so all the icons displayed on the map I can not watch the video. However, it is preferable to distinguish between the latest file in which moving image data is stored and a file in the past which is not storing moving image data. The distinction may be realized, for example, by making the shapes and colors of the icons different. The latest files may be ten, for example.
