Description

The present invention relates to an in-vehicle device.

The "Standards for Improving Working Hours, etc. of Automobile Drivers" (hereinafter referred to as "improvement standards") established by the Labor Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare stipulates that continuous driving hours are limited to 4 hours. According to this improvement standard, it is necessary to suspend the operation within 4 hours after the start of operation or after 4 hours have passed to secure a break of 30 minutes or more, and a break of 30 minutes or more is at least once. It is stipulated that it can be divided after 10 minutes or more.

Therefore, conventionally, it has been proposed to add a function to display or voice a notification or a notice notification that the continuous running time is 4 hours to an in-vehicle device such as a drive recorder. Further, it has been proposed to add a function of displaying the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time which is the cumulative value of the continuous stop time.

However, since the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time are displayed only by the display, there is a problem that the driver cannot know the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time when the drive recorder does not have the display unit. Therefore, the driver does not know how long the vehicle should stop. Further, even if the drive recorder has a display unit, if the drive recorder cannot be installed at a position visible to the driver, the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time cannot be known.

The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and an object of the present invention is to provide an in-vehicle device capable of grasping a continuous stop time and a cumulative value of continuous stop times by a driver.

The vehicle-mounted device according to the first aspect of the present invention operates a notification means for voice-notifying at least one of the continuous stop time of the vehicle and the cumulative value of the continuous stop time, and the start of the voice notification. The notification means provides the voice notification when the operation of the first operation means is performed while the vehicle is stopped, and the first operation means is a plurality of stopped operation means. The notification means is composed of a plurality of second operating means for inputting a working state, and when one of the plurality of second operating means is operated and the vehicle is in the stopped working state, the work is performed again. When it is determined that the operation of the second operating means has been performed for the state, the voice notification is performed assuming that the operation of the first operating means has been performed.

In the vehicle-mounted device according to the second aspect of the present invention, if the continuous stop time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the voice notification means voice-notifies the cumulative value obtained by adding the continuous stop time and less than the predetermined time. If so, the cumulative value without adding the continuous stop time is notified by voice.

According to the first aspect, a plurality of second operating means can be diverted as the first operating means, and cost reduction can be achieved.

According to the second aspect, since the continuous stop time less than the predetermined time is not added to the cumulative value, the notification can be performed according to the improvement standard.

It is a front view which shows one Embodiment of the drive recorder which comprises the vehicle-mounted device of this invention. It is a front view of the operation part connected to the drive recorder shown in FIG. It is an electric block diagram which shows one Embodiment of the in-vehicle device of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the processing procedure of the CPU shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in the figure, the vehicle-mounted device 1 includes a drive recorder 2 mounted on the vehicle and an operation unit 3 separately connected to the drive recorder 2. The drive recorder 2 shown in FIG. 1 has a drive recorder function for recording an image captured by a camera 4 mounted on the vehicle and an operation information recording function for recording the operation information of the vehicle.

The drive recorder 2 includes a plurality of interfaces (hereinafter abbreviated as “I / F”) 21A to 21D, a recording medium 22 and an SDRAM 23, a speaker 24 constituting a notification means, an alarm output I / F25, and an operation unit I. It includes a / F26, a CPU 27 that constitutes a notification means and controls the entire drive recorder 2, and a storage case 28 that houses them.

The I / F 21A to 21D are interfaces for connecting the camera 4, the G sensor 5, the speed / engine rotation sensor 6, the GPS 7, and the like to the CPU 27 described later. Images captured by the camera 4 through these I / F 21A to 21D, acceleration information detected by the G sensor 5, speed information / rotation speed information detected by the speed / engine rotation sensor 6, and current position information detected by GPS 7. Is input to the CPU 27 of the drive recorder 2.

The recording medium 22 is controlled by the CPU 27, and images, operation information, and the like captured by the camera 4 are recorded. The SDRAM 23 is a read-write readable memory having a work area used in various processing processes of the CPU 27, a data storage area for storing various data, and the like.

The speaker 24 is attached so that sound is radiated from a sound emitting hole provided in front of the storage case 28. The alarm output I / F 25 is an interface for connecting the speaker 24 to the CPU 27. The operation unit I / F 26 is an interface for connecting the operation unit 3 to the CPU 27.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operation unit 3 includes a loading button 31, a unloading button 32, a break button 33, a standby button 34, a real / empty button 35, a high / one button 36, a dedicated road button 37, and these buttons 31. It is provided with a storage case 38 for accommodating ~ 37. These buttons 31 to 37 are arranged in front of the storage case 38, and the driver can perform a pressing operation. When these buttons 31 to 37 are pressed, the operation information is supplied to the CPU 27 via the operation unit I / F 26.

The loading button 31 is a button operated by the driver when loading. The unloading button 32 is a button operated when the driver unloads. The break button 33 is a button operated by the driver when he / she takes a break. The standby button 34 is a button operated when the driver waits.

These loading button 31, unloading button 32, break button 33, and standby button 34 (hereinafter, these may be referred to as "work buttons 31 to 34") are buttons for inputting the working state while the vehicle is stopped. It is pressed when the vehicle is stopped. When the operation information indicating that the operation of the work buttons 31 to 34 (first operation means, second operation means) has been performed is input, the CPU 27 indicates that the work state corresponds to the operated work button. The operation information of the above is recorded on the recording medium 22.

The CPU 27 releases the working state when the driver operates a release button (not shown) or when the vehicle starts running.

The real / empty button 35 is a button that is operated when the driver is driving in the actual vehicle or in the empty vehicle, and is operated to switch between the actual vehicle and the empty vehicle. The high / one button 36 is a button that is operated when the driver is traveling at high speed or on a general road, and is operated to switch between high speed and general road. The exclusive road button 37 is a button operated when the driver is traveling on the exclusive road.

The real / empty button 35, the high / one button 36, and the dedicated road button 37 are buttons for inputting the traveling state of the vehicle. When the operation information indicating that the operation of these buttons has been performed is input, the CPU 27 records the operation information indicating that the vehicle is in the traveling state corresponding to the operated buttons on the recording medium 22.

Further, the CPU 27 records the acceleration information from the G sensor 5, the speed information / rotation speed information from the speed / engine rotation sensor 6, and the position information from the GPS 7 on the recording medium 22 as operation information.

Next, the operation of the vehicle-mounted device 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the CPU 27 shown in FIG. When one of the work buttons 31 to 34 is operated (step S1), the CPU 27 determines whether or not the work buttons 31 to 34 for the current working state are operated again (in other words, the operated work buttons 31 to 34 are operated. It is determined (whether or not the work buttons 31 to 34 correspond to the current work state) (step S2).

If the operated work buttons 31 to 34 are not the work buttons 31 to 34 corresponding to the current work state (N in step S2), the CPU 27 transitions to the work state corresponding to the operated work buttons 31 to 34. After recording the operation information indicating that fact on the recording medium 23 (step S3), the process returns to step S1.

In step S2, the CPU 27 corresponds to the case where the work buttons 31 to 34 are operated while the work state is released (hereinafter referred to as the first case), or the current work state and the operated work buttons 31 to 34. If it is different from the work state to be performed (hereinafter referred to as the second case), it is determined as "N". In the first case, in step S3, the CPU 27 transitions from the state in which the work state is released to the work state corresponding to the operated work buttons 31 to 34. Further, in the second case, in step S3, the CPU 27 transitions from the current working state to the working state corresponding to the operated work buttons 31 to 34.

On the other hand, the CPU 27 is in a standby state in which the loading button 31 is operated in the loading state, the unloading button 32 is operated in the unloading state, and the break button 33 is operated in the resting state. When the standby button 34 is operated at a certain time, it is determined that the operated work buttons 31 to 34 are the work buttons 31 to 34 corresponding to the current work state (Y in step S2).

Next, the CPU 27 determines whether or not the continuous stop time is 10 minutes (predetermined time) or more (step S4). Here, the continuous stop time is the duration of the stop from the stop start time of the vehicle immediately before the same work button is operated twice in succession (that is, determined as "Y" in step S2). .. In step S4, the time from the start of the vehicle stop immediately before to the time when the same work button is pressed twice in succession is calculated as the continuous stop time.

If the continuous stop time is not 10 minutes or more (N in step S4), the CPU 27 sets the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time, which is the cumulative value of the continuous stop time without adding the continuous stop time, to the speaker 24. After the voice notification is given from (step S5), the process ends. Specifically, in step S5, the CPU 27 makes a voice notification saying, "The current stop time is ** minutes. The cumulative stop time is ** minutes."

If the continuous stop time is 10 minutes or more (Y in step S4), the CPU 27 adds the continuous stop time to the cumulative stop time (step S6). Then, if the cumulative stop time is not 30 minutes or more (N in step S7), the CPU 27 performs voice notification from the speaker 24 of the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time obtained by adding the continuous stop times (step S8). To finish. In step 8, specifically, the CPU 27 makes a voice notification that "the current stop time is ** minutes. The cumulative stop time is ** minutes."

Then, if the cumulative stop time is 30 minutes or more (Y in step S7), the CPU 27 cancels the continuous running (step S9), and after the speaker 24 gives a voice notification of the continuous running cancellation (step S10). ), End the process. Specifically, in step S10, the CPU 27 makes a voice notification that "the continuous running time has been canceled."

As is clear from the above, the cumulative stop time is a cumulative value of continuous stop times of 10 minutes or more. The cumulative stop time is accumulated from the time when the continuous running is for 4 hours or more until the continuous running is canceled.

According to the above-described embodiment, when any one of the work buttons 31 to 34 is operated and the work state corresponds to the operated work buttons 31 to 34, the CPU 27 responds to the work state again. When the work buttons 31 to 34 are operated, the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time are announced by voice. As a result, the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time can be grasped when the driver wants to know without the display unit. Further, since the work buttons 31 to 34 can be diverted as the first operation means for starting the notification of the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time, the cost can be reduced.

According to the above-described embodiment, the continuous stop time of less than 10 minutes is not added to the cumulative stop time, so that the notification can be performed according to the improvement standard.

According to the above-described embodiment, the work buttons 31 to 34 have been diverted as the first operation means for starting the voice notification of the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time, but the present invention is not limited to this. An operation button dedicated to starting voice notification may be provided.

According to the above-described embodiment, a plurality of work buttons 31 to 34 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. The work buttons 31 to 34 may be one.

According to the above-described embodiment, when the same work buttons 31 to 34 are operated twice in succession, voice notification of continuous stop time and cumulative stop time and voice notification of continuous running cancellation are performed. It is not limited to. For example, when any of the work buttons 31 to 34 is pressed and the vehicle is in the stopped work state, the work buttons 31 to 34, the real / empty button 35, the high / one button 36, and the dedicated road button 37 ( When any one of the third operating means) is operated, the voice notification of the continuous stop time and the cumulative stop time, and the voice notification of canceling the continuous running may be performed.

In this case, if a work release button is provided and it is desired to change the work state while the vehicle is stopped, the operator may press the work buttons 31 to 34 corresponding to the next work state after operating the work release button.

According to the above-described embodiment, only when the same work buttons 31 to 34 are operated twice in succession, the continuous stop time, the cumulative stop time voice notification, and the continuous running cancellation voice notification are performed. It is not limited to. After the same work buttons 31 to 34 are continuously operated twice, the continuous stop time, the voice notification of the cumulative stop time when the continuous stop time reaches 10 minutes, and the continuous stop time when the cumulative stop time reaches 30 minutes. The voice notification of the traveling cancellation may be automatically performed.

According to the above-described embodiment, no notification is given when the vehicle is driven again after the vehicle has stopped, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the cumulative stop time does not reach 30 minutes when the vehicle is driven, it may be notified that the continuous running is not canceled.

Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the operation unit 3 is provided separately from the drive recorder 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. The operation unit 3 may be provided integrally with the drive recorder 2.
