発明を実施するための最良の形態 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0013] 以下に添付図面を参照して、この発明にかかる映像データ記録装置、映像データ 記録方法、映像データ記録プログラム、および記録媒体の好適な実施の形態を詳細 に説明する。 [0013] Exemplary embodiments of a video data recording device, a video data recording method, a video data recording program, and a recording medium according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0014] (実施の形態 1) [0014] (Embodiment 1)
(映像データ記録装置 100の機能的構成) (Functional configuration of video data recording device 100)
はじめに、この発明の実施の形態 1にかかる映像データ記録装置 100の機能的構 成について説明する。図 1は、実施の形態 1にかかる映像データ記録装置 100の機 能的構成を示すブロック図である。 First, the functional configuration of the video data recording apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a functional configuration of the video data recording apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment.
[0015] 図 1において、映像データ記録装置 100は、入力部 101と、第 1のメモリ 102と、衝 撃検出部 103と、物体検出部 104と、判断部 105と、制御部 106と、第 2のメモリ 107 と、出力部 108と、を備えている。入力部 101は、移動体から撮像された一連の映像 データを入力する。入力部 101は、移動体に設置されたカメラなどで撮像された映像 データを入力する。 In FIG. 1, the video data recording apparatus 100 includes an input unit 101, a first memory 102, an impact detection unit 103, an object detection unit 104, a determination unit 105, a control unit 106, 2 memory 107 and an output unit 108 are provided. The input unit 101 inputs a series of video data captured from a moving body. The input unit 101 inputs video data captured by a camera or the like installed on a moving body.
[0016] 第 1のメモリ 102は、入力部 101によって入力された映像データが、順次上書き記 録される。第 1のメモリ 102は、一定のデータ量記録可能な記録媒体でもよい。具体 的には、たとえば、バッファメモリなどの一時記録用の記録媒体であり、入力部 101に よって入力された映像データが記録可能なデータ量の範囲で常時上書き記録される In the first memory 102, video data input by the input unit 101 is sequentially overwritten and recorded. The first memory 102 may be a recording medium capable of recording a certain amount of data. Specifically, for example, it is a recording medium for temporary recording such as a buffer memory, and video data input by the input unit 101 is always overwritten and recorded within a recordable data amount range.
[0017] 衝撃検出部 103は、移動体に加えられた衝撃を検出する。移動体に加えられた衝 撃は、たとえば、物体との接触により加えられた衝撃、もしくは、移動体の挙動により 加えられた衝撃に区別することができる。つまり、事故は何らかの物体との接触による 衝撃により起こるものであるから、物体との接触により加えられた衝撃とは、事故により 加えられた衝撃である。一方、移動体の挙動により加えられた衝撃は、移動体が移動 中の振動や移動速度の加減速によって加えられた衝撃など、事故以外により加えら れた衝撃である。 [0017] The impact detection unit 103 detects an impact applied to the moving body. The impact applied to the moving object can be distinguished from, for example, an impact applied by contact with an object or an impact applied by the behavior of the moving object. In other words, since an accident is caused by an impact caused by contact with an object, an impact applied by contact with an object is an impact applied by an accident. On the other hand, the impact applied by the behavior of the moving body is not due to an accident, such as the vibration applied by the moving body or the impact applied by acceleration / deceleration of the moving speed. It was a shock.
[0018] また、衝撃検出部 103は、移動体の挙動のみにより加えられたと判断される第 1の 衝撃、物体もしくは移動体の挙動により加えられたと判断される第 2の衝撃、または、 物体のみにより加えられたと判断される第 3の衝撃のうち、いずれか一つの衝撃を検 出する。第 1の衝撃は軽微な衝撃であり、移動体の挙動により加えられたと判断され る衝撃である。また、第 2の衝撃は、物体との接触により加えられたとも、移動体の挙 動により加えられたとも判断される衝撃である。そして、第 3の衝撃は、物体との接触 のみにより加えられたと判断される衝撃である。 [0018] Further, the impact detection unit 103 is a first impact determined to be applied only by the behavior of the moving object, a second impact determined to be applied by the behavior of the object or the moving object, or only the object. Detect any one of the third impacts determined to have been applied. The first impact is a minor impact and is judged to have been applied by the behavior of the moving object. The second impact is an impact that is judged to have been applied by contact with an object or by the movement of a moving object. The third impact is an impact determined to have been applied only by contact with the object.
[0019] 物体検出部 104は、移動体の周辺の物体を検出する。移動体の周辺の物体は、具 体的には、たとえば、他の移動体や人間や落下物などであり、移動体と接触する可 能性のある物体である。物体検出部 104は、具体的には、たとえば、赤外線センサや 超音波センサなどによって物体を検出する。また、物体検出部 104は、衝撃検出部 1 03によって衝撃が検出された時刻から所定時刻以内に、移動体の移動する方向に あり、かつ所定距離以内にある物体を検出してもよい。また、物体検出部 104は、移 動方向が移動体に向かっている物体を検出してもよい。また、物体検出部 104は、移 動体の周辺の物体の種類(車両、人間など)や大きさを判別できるようにしてもょレ、。 [0019] The object detection unit 104 detects objects around the moving body. The object around the moving object is specifically an object that may come into contact with the moving object, for example, another moving object, a human being, or a fallen object. Specifically, the object detection unit 104 detects an object using, for example, an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. Further, the object detection unit 104 may detect an object that is in a moving direction of the moving body and within a predetermined distance within a predetermined time from the time when the shock is detected by the shock detection unit 103. Further, the object detection unit 104 may detect an object whose moving direction is toward the moving body. In addition, the object detection unit 104 may be able to determine the type (vehicle, human, etc.) and size of an object around the moving body.
[0020] 判断部 105は、衝撃検出部 103および物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結 果に基づいて、物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断する。判断部 10 5は、たとえば、衝撃検出部 103によって衝撃が検出され、さらに、物体検出部 104 によって物体が検出された場合に、物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと 判断する。 Based on the detection results detected by the impact detection unit 103 and the object detection unit 104, the determination unit 105 determines whether or not an impact has been applied to the moving body by the object. For example, when the impact detection unit 103 detects an impact and the object detection unit 104 detects an object, the determination unit 105 determines that the impact is applied to the moving body due to contact with the object.
[0021] また、判断部 105は、衝撃検出部 103によって第 2の衝撃を検出した場合、衝撃検 出部 103および物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果に基づいて、物体との 接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断してもよい。つまり、判断部 105 は、衝撃検出部 103によって第 2の衝撃が検出された場合は、衝撃が物体との接触 により加えられたとも、移動体の挙動によって加えられたとも判断できるため、物体検 出部 104によって移動体の至近に存在する物体を検出することで、物体との接触に より加えられた衝撃か否かを判断する。なお、たとえば、移動体に赤外線センサ等の レーダを設け、さらに、そのレーダが物体を感知する有効範囲を設定し、その有効範 囲内にある物体を検知した場合に至近に物体が存在すると検知するようにしてもよい In addition, when the impact detection unit 103 detects the second impact, the determination unit 105 moves by contact with the object based on the detection results detected by the impact detection unit 103 and the object detection unit 104. It may be determined whether or not an impact has been applied to the body. In other words, when the second impact is detected by the impact detection unit 103, the determination unit 105 can determine whether the impact is applied by contact with the object or by the behavior of the moving object. By detecting an object that is present in the vicinity of the moving body by the output unit 104, it is determined whether or not it is an impact applied by contact with the object. For example, an infrared sensor etc. A radar may be provided, and an effective range for detecting the object by the radar may be set, and when an object within the effective range is detected, it may be detected that the object is present in the vicinity.
[0022] 制御部 106は、判断部 105によって物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判断さ れた場合、物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されて いる映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる後述する第 2のメモリ 107に転送して 保存する。物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されて いる映像データは、具体的には、たとえば、移動体に衝撃が加えられた時刻から所 定の時間遡った時刻力 移動体に衝撃が加えられた時刻までの映像データである。 [0022] When the determination unit 105 determines that an impact is applied to the moving body by the object, the control unit 106 is recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving body by the object. The video data is transferred and stored in a second memory 107, which will be described later, different from the first memory 102. Specifically, the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when an impact is applied to the moving object by the object is, for example, a time that is a predetermined time after the time the impact is applied to the moving object. This is video data up to the time when an impact is applied to the moving body.
[0023] また、制御部 106は、衝撃検出部 103によって第 3の衝撃が検出された場合、物体 検出部 104によって検出された検出結果に基づいて、物体との接触により移動体に 衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断せずに、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモ リ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に 転送して保存する。さらに、制御部 106は、衝撃検出部 103によって第 1の衝撃が検 出された場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果に基づいて、物体との 接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断せずに、移動体に衝撃が加えら れた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異な る第 2のメモリ 107に転送しない。 In addition, when the third impact is detected by the impact detection unit 103, the control unit 106 applies an impact to the moving body by contact with the object based on the detection result detected by the object detection unit 104. The video data recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving body is transferred to the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102 without judging whether or not And save. Further, when the first impact is detected by the impact detection unit 103, the control unit 106, based on the detection result detected by the object detection unit 104, has an impact applied to the moving body due to contact with the object? The video data recorded in the first memory 102 is not transferred to the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102 when an impact is applied to the moving body without judging whether or not .
[0024] 第 2のメモリ 107は、制御部 106によって制御され移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に 第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データが転送され保存される。具体的には、 たとえば、ストレージバッファなどの保存用の記録媒体であり、第 1のメモリ 102である ノ ッファメモリなどから転送された映像データが保存される。また、第 2のメモリ 107に 保存される映像データは、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際の時刻情報や位置情報や 衝撃の大きさなどが関連付けられて保存されてもよい。 [0024] The second memory 107 is controlled by the control unit 106 to transfer and store video data recorded in the first memory 102 when an impact is applied to the moving body. Specifically, for example, it is a storage recording medium such as a storage buffer, in which video data transferred from a first memory 102, such as a nother memory, is stored. Further, the video data stored in the second memory 107 may be stored in association with time information, position information, the magnitude of the impact, etc. when the impact is applied to the moving body.
[0025] 出力部 108は、第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データを出力する。出力部 108 は、たとえば、第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データを利用者もしくは管理者 (保 険会社など)の要求によって事故の検証をおこなう際の事故記録として出力する。 The output unit 108 outputs the video data stored in the second memory 107. The output unit 108 outputs, for example, the video data stored in the second memory 107 as an accident record when the accident is verified at the request of the user or administrator (such as an insurance company).
[0026] (映像データ記録装置 100の映像データ記録処理手順) つぎに、実施の形態 1にかかる映像データ記録装置 100の映像データ記録処理手 順について説明する。図 2は、実施の形態 1にかかる映像データ記録装置 100の映 像データ記録処理手順を示すフローチャートである。図 2のフローチャートにおいて、 まず、入力部 101によって映像データの入力を受け付けるまで待機して (ステップ S2 01: Noのループ)、入力を受け付けた場合(ステップ S 201: Yes)、第 1のメモリ 102 に映像データを上書き記録する(ステップ S202)。 (Video data recording processing procedure of video data recording apparatus 100) Next, a video data recording processing procedure of the video data recording apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a video data recording process procedure of the video data recording apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 2, first, the input unit 101 waits until the input of video data is accepted (step S2 01: No loop), and when the input is accepted (step S 201: Yes), the first memory 102 Overwrite and record video data (step S202).
[0027] つぎに、衝撃検出部 103によって移動体に加えられた衝撃を検出する(ステップ S2 03)。そして、衝撃検出部 103によって第 1の衝撃を検出したか否かを判断する(ステ ップ S204)。ステップ S204にお!/ヽて第 1の衝撃を検出しな!/、場合(ステップ S204: No)、衝撃検出部 103によって第 3の衝撃を検出したか否かを判断する(ステップ S2 05)。ステップ S205において第 3の衝撃を検出しない場合(ステップ S205 : No)、衝 撃検出部 103によって第 2の衝撃を検出したと判断する (ステップ S206)。 Next, the impact applied to the moving body by the impact detection unit 103 is detected (step S203). Then, it is determined whether or not the first impact is detected by the impact detection unit 103 (step S204). In step S204! / If the first impact is not detected! /, (Step S204: No), it is determined whether or not the third impact is detected by the impact detector 103 (step S2 05). . When the third impact is not detected in step S205 (step S205: No), it is determined that the second impact is detected by the impact detection unit 103 (step S206).
[0028] ステップ S206において第 2の衝撃を検出したと判断された場合は、移動体に加え られた衝撃が物体との接触によって加えられた可能性はある力 S、移動体の挙動によ つて加えられた可能性もあるので、物体検出部 104によって移動体の至近に存在す る物体を検出する(ステップ S207)。そして、ステップ S207において検出した検出結 果に基づいて、物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断する(ス テツプ S208)。物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判断された場合 (ス テツプ S208: Yes)、ステップ S202において物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加 えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 2のメモリ 107に転 送して保存して(ステップ S209)、一連の処理を終了する。 [0028] If it is determined in step S206 that the second impact has been detected, there is a possibility that the impact applied to the moving body may have been applied by contact with the object. Since there is a possibility that the object has been added, the object detection unit 104 detects an object present in the vicinity of the moving body (step S207). Then, based on the detection result detected in step S207, it is determined whether or not an impact is applied to the moving body due to contact with the object (step S208). If it is determined that an impact has been applied to the moving object due to contact with the object (step S208: Yes), the first memory 102 is loaded when an impact is applied to the moving object due to contact with the object in step S202. The recorded video data is transferred to and stored in the second memory 107 (step S209), and the series of processing ends.
[0029] 一方、ステップ S204において第 1の衝撃を検出した場合(ステップ S204 :Yes)、 およびステップ S208にお!/、て物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられて!/、な!/ヽ 場合(ステップ S208 : No)は、ステップ S203に戻り、以降の処理を繰り返す。また、 ステップ S205において第 3の衝撃を検出した場合(ステップ S205 : Yes)、ステップ S 209に進み、ステップ S203において物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられた 際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保 存する。 [0030] なお、図 2のフローチャートにおいては、ステップ S204において第 1の衝撃を検出 したか否かを判断し、ステップ S205において第 3の衝撃を検出したか否かを判断す るとしている力 これに限るものではない。たとえば、ステップ S203において衝撃を検 出し、つぎに、ステップ S207に進み、物体を検出してもよい。 [0029] On the other hand, when the first impact is detected in step S204 (step S204: Yes), and in step S208, the impact is applied to the moving body due to the contact with the object! /! If / ヽ (step S208: No), the process returns to step S203, and the subsequent processing is repeated. Further, when the third impact is detected in step S205 (step S205: Yes), the process proceeds to step S209, and when the impact is applied to the moving body due to the contact with the object in step S203, the first memory 102 is stored. The recorded video data is transferred to the second memory 107 and saved. In the flowchart of FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the first impact has been detected in step S204, and whether or not the third impact has been detected in step S205. It is not limited to. For example, the impact may be detected in step S203, and then the process may proceed to step S207 to detect the object.
[0031] また、図 2のフローチャートにおいては、ステップ S203において衝撃検出部 103に よって移動体に加えられた衝撃を検出し、ステップ S207において物体検出部 104に よって移動体の至近に存在する物体を検出するとして!/、る力 これに限るものではな い。たとえば、衝撃検出部 103によって衝撃を検出するとともに、物体検出部 104に よって物体を検出してもよいし、物体検出部 104によって物体を検出してから、衝撃 検出部 103によって衝撃を検出してもよい。 In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the impact applied to the moving body by the impact detecting unit 103 is detected in step S203, and the object present in the vicinity of the moving body is detected by the object detecting unit 104 in step S207. It is not limited to this! For example, the impact detection unit 103 may detect the impact and the object detection unit 104 may detect the object, or the object detection unit 104 may detect the object and then the impact detection unit 103 may detect the impact. Also good.
[0032] 上述したように、実施の形態 1の映像データ記録装置 100によれば、判断部 105は 、衝撃検出部 103および物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果に基づいて、 物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断する。そして、制御部 106は、判 断部 105によって物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判断された場合は、物体 により移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データ を、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存することができる。 [0032] As described above, according to video data recording apparatus 100 of the first embodiment, determination unit 105 uses a moving object based on the detection result detected by impact detection unit 103 and object detection unit 104. It is determined whether or not an impact has been applied to. Then, when it is determined by the determination unit 105 that the impact is applied to the moving body by the object, the control unit 106 is recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving object by the object. Video data can be transferred and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102.
[0033] したがって、制御部 106は、移動体に衝撃が加えられ、さらに、物体が移動体の至 近に存在する場合にのみ映像データを保存することで、第 2のメモリ 107への不要な 記録を避け、メモリの空き容量を確保することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗 した利用者は、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、メモリの空き容量を確保すること ができる。 [0033] Therefore, the control unit 106 saves the video data only when an impact is applied to the moving object and the object is in the vicinity of the moving object. It is possible to avoid recording and secure a free memory space. As a result, a user who has boarded the mobile body can ensure free memory space without recording unnecessary video data.
[0034] また、実施の形態 1の映像データ記録装置 100によれば、制御部 106は、衝撃検 出部 103によって第 3の衝撃を検出した場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された 検出結果によらず、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されてい る映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存すること 力できる。したがって、制御部 106は、物体のみにより加えられたと判断される衝撃を 検出した場合は、物体の検出をせずに、映像データを保存することができる。これに よって、移動体に搭乗した利用者は、物体の検出をせずに、事故記録のみを保存さ せること力 Sでさる。 In addition, according to video data recording apparatus 100 of the first embodiment, control unit 106 detects the detection result detected by object detection unit 104 when the third detection is detected by impact detection unit 103. Regardless, the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when an impact is applied to the moving body can be transferred and stored in the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, if the control unit 106 detects an impact determined to be applied only by an object, the control unit 106 can store the video data without detecting the object. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving object does not detect the object and only saves the accident record. Use force S.
[0035] また、実施の形態 1の映像データ記録装置 100によれば、制御部 106は、衝撃検 出部 103によって第 1の衝撃を検出した場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された 検出結果によらず、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されてい る映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送しないことができ る。したがって、制御部 106は、移動体の挙動のみにより加えられたと判断される衝 撃を検出した場合は、物体の検出をせずに、映像データを保存しないことができる。 これによつて、移動体に搭乗した利用者は、物体の検出をせずに、不要な事故記録 の保存を避けることができる。 In addition, according to video data recording apparatus 100 of Embodiment 1, control unit 106 uses the detection result detected by object detection unit 104 when the first impact is detected by impact detection unit 103. Regardless, the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when an impact is applied to the moving body can not be transferred to the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, if the control unit 106 detects an impact determined to be applied only by the behavior of the moving body, the control unit 106 can not store the video data without detecting the object. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving body can avoid unnecessary storage of accident records without detecting the object.
[0036] また、実施の形態 1の映像データ記録装置 100によれば、判断部 105は、衝撃検 出部 103によって第 2の衝撃を検出した場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された 検出結果に基づいて、物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断する。そ して、制御部 106は、判断部 105によって物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判 断された場合、物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録さ れている映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存 すること力 Sでさる。 In addition, according to video data recording apparatus 100 of Embodiment 1, determination unit 105 uses the detection result detected by object detection unit 104 when the second detection is detected by impact detection unit 103. Based on this, it is determined whether or not an impact is applied to the moving body by the object. Then, when the determination unit 105 determines that the impact is applied to the moving body by the object, the control unit 106 is recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving body by the object. It is possible to transfer the stored video data to the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102 and store it.
[0037] したがって、制御部 106は、物体もしくは移動体の挙動により加えられたと判断され る衝撃を検出した場合は、物体検出部 104によって物体を検出し、至近に物体が存 在する場合にのみ、映像データを保存することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭 乗した利用者は、事故記録のみを保存させることができる。 [0037] Therefore, if the control unit 106 detects an impact that is determined to be applied due to the behavior of the object or moving object, the control unit 106 detects the object by the object detection unit 104, and only when the object exists in the vicinity. Video data can be saved. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving body can store only the accident record.

(映像データ記録装置 300の機能的構成) (Functional configuration of video data recording device 300)
つぎに、この発明の実施の形態 2にかかる映像データ記録装置 300の機能的構成 について説明する。図 3は、実施の形態 2にかかる映像データ記録装置 300の機能 的構成を示すブロック図である。 Next, a functional configuration of the video data recording apparatus 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a functional configuration of the video data recording apparatus 300 according to the second embodiment.
[0039] 実施の形態 2の映像データ記録装置 300は、上述の実施の形態 1にかかる映像デ ータ記録装置 100とは、物体検出部 104を除き、計数部 301と、算出部 302と、事故 該当率判断部 303と、しきい値調節部 304と、受信部 305と、送信部 306と、を加え た点で異なる。なお、実施の形態 2においては、上述した実施の形態 1と同一部分は 同一符号で示し、説明も省略する。 [0039] The video data recording device 300 according to the second embodiment is different from the video data recording device 100 according to the first embodiment described above except for the object detection unit 104, a counting unit 301, a calculation unit 302, Accident rate determination unit 303, threshold adjustment unit 304, reception unit 305, and transmission unit 306 are added. It is different in point. In the second embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0040] 判断部 105は、衝撃検出部 103によって検出された衝撃がしきい値以上か否かを 判断する。しきい値は、あらかじめ定められた衝撃の値であり、しきい値以上の衝撃 が移動体に加えられた場合、物体との接触により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判断 される値である。また、判断部 105は、衝撃検出部 103によって検出されたあらたな 衝撃が後述するしきい値調節部 304によって調節されたしきい値以上か否かを判断 する。ここで、あらたな衝撃は、しきい値調節部 304によってしきい値が調節された後 に、衝撃検出部 103によって検出された衝撃である。 [0040] Determination unit 105 determines whether or not the impact detected by impact detection unit 103 is equal to or greater than a threshold value. The threshold value is a predetermined impact value. When an impact greater than the threshold value is applied to the moving object, it is determined that the impact is applied to the moving object due to contact with the object. The determination unit 105 determines whether or not the new impact detected by the impact detection unit 103 is equal to or greater than a threshold adjusted by a threshold adjustment unit 304 described later. Here, the new impact is an impact detected by the impact detector 103 after the threshold is adjusted by the threshold adjuster 304.
[0041] 制御部 106は、判断部 105によってしきい値以上と判断された衝撃を関連付けて、 該衝撃が移動体に加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、 第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存する。したがって、第 2の メモリ 107には、しきい値以上の衝撃が移動体に加えられた際の映像データに、その 際に加えられた衝撃が関連付けられて保存される。 [0041] The control unit 106 associates the impact determined by the determination unit 105 to be equal to or greater than the threshold value, and stores the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving object. The data is transferred and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, in the second memory 107, the impact applied at that time is stored in association with the video data when the impact exceeding the threshold is applied to the moving object.
[0042] また、制御部 106は、判断部 105によって、調節されたしきい値以上と判断された あらたな衝撃を関連付けて、該衝撃が移動体に加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記 録されている映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して 保存する。したがって、第 2のメモリ 107に保存される映像データの数は、しきい値調 節部 304によって調節されたしきい値の値によって調節される。 [0042] Further, the control unit 106 associates a new impact determined by the determination unit 105 to be equal to or greater than the adjusted threshold value, and stores it in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving object. The recorded video data is transferred to and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Accordingly, the number of video data stored in the second memory 107 is adjusted according to the threshold value adjusted by the threshold adjustment unit 304.
[0043] 計数部 301は、第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データから事故に該当する映像 データの数を計数する。また、計数部 301は、第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像デ ータの保存数を計数する。さらに、計数部 301は、たとえば、第 2のメモリ 107に保存 された映像データに時刻情報が関連付けられている場合は、所定期間に第 2のメモ リ 107から出力された映像データの数のみを計数することができる。事故に該当する 映像データは、具体的には、たとえば、事故記録として利用者や管理者などに出力 要請をされて出力された映像データである。 The counting unit 301 counts the number of video data corresponding to the accident from the video data stored in the second memory 107. In addition, the counting unit 301 counts the number of video data stored in the second memory 107. Furthermore, for example, when the time information is associated with the video data stored in the second memory 107, the counting unit 301 calculates only the number of video data output from the second memory 107 during a predetermined period. Can be counted. Specifically, the video data corresponding to the accident is, for example, video data that is output as a request for output from a user or administrator as an accident record.
[0044] 算出部 302は、計数部 301によって計数された計数結果および第 2のメモリ 107に 保存された映像データの保存数に基づいて、事故に該当する映像データの保存の 割合 (以下、「事故該当率」という)を算出する。事故該当率は、第 2のメモリ 107に保 存されているすべての映像データのうちの事故に該当する映像データの割合である 。また、事故該当率は、所定期間内に第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データのう ちの所定期間内に、事故記録として出力された映像データの割合でもよい。 The calculation unit 302 stores the video data corresponding to the accident based on the counting result counted by the counting unit 301 and the number of stored video data stored in the second memory 107. Calculate the percentage (hereinafter referred to as “accident ratio”). The accident hit rate is the ratio of the video data corresponding to the accident among all the video data stored in the second memory 107. Further, the accident hit rate may be a ratio of video data output as an accident record within a predetermined period of video data stored in the second memory 107 within a predetermined period.
[0045] 事故該当率判断部 303は、算出部 302によって算出された事故該当率が所定の 割合以上か否かを判断する。所定の割合は、利用者によって設定可能でもよぐたと えば、 70パーセントといった値である。また、たとえば、所定の割合は、 100パーセン トの場合は、事故記録として保存されるべき映像データが保存されてレ、な!/、可能性 があり、小さい値の場合は、不要な映像データが多く保存されてしまう可能性がある。 また、事故該当率判断部 303は、算出部 302によって算出された事故該当率が所定 の割合より高い割合以上か否力、を判断する。この場合、事故該当率は、 70パーセン トから 80パーセントと!/、つた幅のある値である。 [0045] The accident hit rate determination unit 303 determines whether the accident hit rate calculated by the calculation unit 302 is equal to or higher than a predetermined rate. The predetermined percentage may be set by the user, for example, 70%. Also, for example, if the percentage is 100 percent, there is a possibility that the video data to be saved as an accident record will be saved! If there is a small value, unnecessary video data will be saved. May be saved. In addition, the accident hit rate determination unit 303 determines whether or not the accident hit rate calculated by the calculation unit 302 is higher than a predetermined rate. In this case, the accident coverage rate ranges from 70 percent to 80 percent, with a wide range of! /.
[0046] しきい値調節部 304は、事故該当率判断部 303の判断結果に基づいて、しきい値 を調節する。したがって、しきい値調節部 304によってしきい値を調節し、第 2のメモリ 107に保存される映像データの数が調節されることで、事故該当率が調節される。し きい値調節部 304は、たとえば、事故該当率判断部 303によって事故該当率が所定 の割合以上ではないと判断された場合、しきい値を所定量大きくする。また、しきい値 調節部 304は、たとえば、事故該当率判断部 303によって事故該当率が所定の割合 より高い割合以上と判断された場合、しきい値を所定量小さくする。 The threshold adjustment unit 304 adjusts the threshold based on the determination result of the accident hit rate determination unit 303. Accordingly, the threshold value is adjusted by the threshold value adjustment unit 304 and the number of video data stored in the second memory 107 is adjusted, so that the accident hit rate is adjusted. The threshold value adjustment unit 304 increases the threshold value by a predetermined amount when, for example, the accident corresponding rate determination unit 303 determines that the accident corresponding rate is not equal to or higher than a predetermined rate. For example, when the accident hit rate determination unit 303 determines that the accident hit rate is higher than a predetermined rate, the threshold value adjustment unit 304 decreases the threshold value by a predetermined amount.
[0047] 受信部 305は、他の移動体における計数結果またはしきい値を受信する。受信部 3 05は、他の移動体に備えられた計数部 301によって計数された計数結果、または、 しきい値調節部 304によって調節されたしきい値を受信する。また、受信部 305は、 たとえば、移動体と他の移動体とを中継する図示しない中継装置から他の移動体に おける計数結果、または、調節されたしきい値を受信してもよい。 [0047] Receiving section 305 receives the counting result or threshold value in another moving body. The receiving unit 305 receives the counting result counted by the counting unit 301 provided in another moving body or the threshold adjusted by the threshold adjusting unit 304. In addition, the receiving unit 305 may receive, for example, a counting result in another moving body or an adjusted threshold value from a relay device (not shown) that relays the moving body and another moving body.
[0048] 送信部 306は、計数部 301によって計数された計数結果、または、しき!/、値調節部 304によって調節されたしきい値を他の移動体に送信する。また、送信部 306は、た とえば、移動体と他の移動体とを中継する図示しない中継装置に計数結果、または、 調節されたしきレ、値を送信してもよ!/、。 [0049] (映像データ記録装置 300の映像データ記録処理手順) Transmitting section 306 transmits the counting result counted by counting section 301 or the threshold adjusted by threshold / value adjusting section 304 to another mobile unit. Further, the transmitting unit 306 may transmit the count result, the adjusted threshold, or the value to a relay device (not shown) that relays between the mobile body and another mobile body, for example!

つぎに、映像データ記録装置 300の映像データ記録処理手順につ!/、て説明する。 図 4は、実施の形態 2にかかる映像データ記録装置 300の映像データ記録処理手順 を示すフローチャートである。図 4のフローチャートにおいて、まず、衝撃検出部 103 によって移動体に加えられた衝撃を検出したか否かを判断する(ステップ S401)。 Next, the video data recording processing procedure of the video data recording apparatus 300 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a video data recording process procedure of the video data recording apparatus 300 according to the second embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 4, first, it is determined whether or not the impact applied to the moving body is detected by the impact detection unit 103 (step S401).
[0050] ステップ S401において衝撃を検出した場合(ステップ S401 : Yes)、判断部 105に よってステップ S401にお!/、て検出された衝撃がしきレ、値以上か否かを判断する(ス テツプ S402)。衝撃がしきい値以上の場合(ステップ S402 : Yes)、ステップ S402に お!/、てしき!/、値以上と判断された衝撃を関連付けて、該衝撃が移動体に加えられた 際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保 存する(ステップ S403)。 [0050] When an impact is detected in step S401 (step S401: Yes), the determination unit 105 determines whether or not the detected impact in step S401 is equal to or greater than the threshold (step). S402). If the impact is greater than or equal to the threshold value (step S402: Yes), step S402 is associated with the impact determined to be greater than or equal to! /, Teshiki! /, And the impact is applied when the impact is applied to the moving object. The video data recorded in the first memory 102 is transferred to and stored in the second memory 107 (step S403).
[0051] 一方、ステップ S401において衝撃を検出しない場合(ステップ S401 : No)、ステツ プ S402にお!/、て衝撃がしき!/、値以上ではな!/、場合(ステップ S402: No)、ステップ S401に戻り、以降の処理を繰り返す。 [0051] On the other hand, if no impact is detected in step S401 (step S401: No), if step S402 is! /, The impact is squeezed! /, If it is not greater than the value! / (Step S402: No), Returning to step S401, the subsequent processing is repeated.
[0052] つぎに、計数部 301によって第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データから事故に 該当する映像データの数を計数し (ステップ S404)、算出部 302によってステップ S4 04において計数された計数結果および第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データの 保存数に基づいて、事故該当率を算出する (ステップ S405)。そして、事故該当率 判断部 303によってステップ S405において算出された事故該当率が所定の割合以 上か否かを判断し(ステップ S406)、しきい値調節部 304によってステップ S406にお いて判断した判断結果に基づいて、しきい値を調節して (ステップ S407)、一連の処 理を終了する。 [0052] Next, the number of video data corresponding to the accident is counted from the video data stored in the second memory 107 by the counting unit 301 (step S404), and the count counted by the calculating unit 302 in step S404. Based on the result and the number of stored video data stored in the second memory 107, an accident hit rate is calculated (step S405). Then, it is determined whether or not the accident hit rate calculated in step S405 by the accident hit rate determination unit 303 is greater than or equal to a predetermined ratio (step S406), and the judgment made in step S406 by the threshold adjustment unit 304 Based on the result, the threshold value is adjusted (step S407), and the series of processing ends.
[0053] なお、図 4のフローチャートにおいては、事故該当率の割合に応じて、衝撃のしきい 値を調節する構成としているが、これに限るものではない。たとえば、映像データの容 量や圧縮率、映像の明るさや音声録音レベルなどのしきい値を調節する構成として あよい。 [0053] In the flowchart of Fig. 4, the impact threshold is adjusted according to the ratio of the accident hit rate, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured to adjust thresholds such as video data capacity and compression ratio, video brightness and audio recording level.
[0054] また、図 4のフローチャートにおいては、ステップ S403において衝撃を関連付けて 、第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存 するとしている力 これに限るものではない。たとえば、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際 の時刻情報や位置情報をさらに関連付けて保存するようにしてもよい。 In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the video data recorded in the first memory 102 is transferred to the second memory 107 and stored in association with the impact in step S403. The power you are doing is not limited to this. For example, time information and position information when an impact is applied to the moving body may be stored in association with each other.
[0055] また、図 4のフローチャートにおいては、ステップ S404において計数部 301によつ て第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データから事故に該当する映像データの数を 計数するとしている力 これに限るものではない。たとえば、図示しないサーバや管理 システムなどによって他の移動体に保存された映像データから事故に該当する映像 データの数を計数し、その計数結果を受信部 305によって受信する構成としてもよい Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the power used to count the number of video data corresponding to the accident from the video data stored in the second memory 107 by the counting unit 301 in step S404. It is not limited. For example, the configuration may be such that the number of video data corresponding to the accident is counted from video data stored in another mobile unit by a server or management system (not shown), and the counting result is received by the receiving unit 305.
[0056] 上述したように、実施の形態 2の映像データ記録装置 100によれば、計数部 301に よって第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データから事故に該当する映像データの数 を計数した計数結果および第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データの保存数に基 づいて、事故該当率を算出する。そして、事故該当率判断部 303によって事故該当 率が所定の割合以上か否力、を判断した判断結果に基づレ、て、しきレ、値調節部 304 によってしきい値を調節すること力 Sできる。したがって、物体検出部 104によって検出 をしなくても、第 2のメモリ 107への不要な保存を避け、メモリの空き容量を確保するこ とができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した利用者は、物体を検出する装置がない 場合も、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、メモリの空き容量を確保することができる [0056] As described above, according to the video data recording apparatus 100 of the second embodiment, the counting unit 301 counts the number of video data corresponding to the accident from the video data stored in the second memory 107. Based on the counting result and the number of stored video data stored in the second memory 107, the accident corresponding rate is calculated. Then, based on the judgment result of judging whether or not the accident hit rate is greater than or equal to a predetermined ratio by the accident hit rate judging unit 303, the threshold value can be adjusted by the threshold value adjusting unit 304. it can. Therefore, even if detection is not performed by the object detection unit 104, unnecessary storage in the second memory 107 can be avoided and a free memory space can be secured. As a result, even if there is no device for detecting an object, a user who has boarded the mobile body can ensure free memory space without recording unnecessary video data.
[0057] また、実施の形態 2の映像データ記録装置 100によれば、衝撃検出部 103によつ て移動体にあらたに加えられた衝撃を検出した場合、判断部 105によってあらたな衝 撃がしきい値調節部 304によって調節されたしきい値以上か否かを判断する。そして 、制御部 106は、調節されたしきい値以上と判断されたあらたな衝撃を関連付けて、 該衝撃が移動体に加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、 第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存することができる。したが つて、算出部 302によって算出された事故該当率に基づいて、しきい値を調節し、保 存される映像データの数を調節することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した 利用者は、物体を検出する装置がない場合も、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、 メモリの空き容量を確保することができる。 実施例 1 Further, according to the video data recording apparatus 100 of the second embodiment, when the impact applied to the moving body is detected by the impact detection unit 103, a new impact is generated by the determination unit 105. It is determined whether or not the threshold value adjusted by the threshold value adjustment unit 304 is not less than the threshold value. Then, the control unit 106 associates a new impact determined to be equal to or greater than the adjusted threshold value, and the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving body, The data can be transferred and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, based on the accident hit rate calculated by the calculation unit 302, the threshold value can be adjusted and the number of stored video data can be adjusted. As a result, even when there is no device for detecting an object, a user who has boarded the mobile body can ensure free memory space without recording unnecessary video data. Example 1
[0058] 以下に、本発明の実施例 1について説明する。本実施例 1では、たとえば、車両( 四輪車、二輪車を含む)などの移動体に搭載されるナビゲーシヨン装置によって、本 発明の映像データ記録装置 100を実施した場合の一例について説明する。 [0058] Hereinafter, Example 1 of the present invention will be described.

つぎに、本実施例 1にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置 500のハードウェア構成について 説明する。図 5は、本実施例 1にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置のハードウェア構成を示 すブロック図である。図 5において、ナビゲーシヨン装置 500は、 CPU501と、 ROM5 02と、 RAM503と、磁気ディスク卜、ライプ、 504と、磁気ディスク 505と、光ディスク卜、ラ イブ 506と、光ディスク 507と、音声 I/F (インターフェース) 508と、マイク 509と、スピ 一力 510と、人力デノ イス 511と、映像 I/F512と、ディスプレイ 513と、通信 I/F51 4と、 GPSユニット 515と、各種センサ 516と、カメラ 517と、を備えている。各構成き 0;!〜 517は、バス 520によってそれぞれ接続されている。 Next, a hardware configuration of the navigation device 500 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a hardware configuration of the navigation device according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 5, the navigation device 500 includes a CPU 501, a ROM 502, a RAM 503, a magnetic disk 卜, a rip, 504, a magnetic disk 505, an optical disk 卜, a live 506, an optical disk 507, and an audio I / F.

[0083] (Gセンサイ直のしきいィ直) つぎに、図 6を用いて、各種センサ 516が備える Gセンサによって検出される Gセン サ値のしきい値について説明する。図 6は、 Gセンサ値のしきい値を示す説明図であ る。図 6において、縦軸が事故の確率を示し、横軸が Gセンサによって検出される G センサイ直を示している。 [0083] (G Sensei direct threshold) Next, the threshold value of the G sensor value detected by the G sensor included in the various sensors 516 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the threshold value of the G sensor value. In Fig. 6, the vertical axis indicates the probability of an accident and the horizontal axis indicates the G sensory detected by the G sensor.
[0084] 図 6においては、 G1および G2の 2つのしきい値が示されている。 G1は、事故の確 率が無視できないポイントであり、事故によって検出された Gセンサ値の可能性はあ る力 車両の運転操作などの事故ではない原因によって検出された Gセンサ値であ るともみなせる値である。一方、 G2は、事故の確率が飛躍的にあがるポイントであり、 G2以上の Gセンサ値を検出した場合は、事故によって出力された Gセンサ値である とみなせる値である。 G1および G2は、車両の走行速度によって設定を変更してもよ い。 [0084] In FIG. 6, two threshold values G1 and G2 are shown. G1 is a point where the probability of an accident cannot be ignored, and there is a possibility that the G sensor value detected by the accident may be a G sensor value detected by a non-accident cause such as driving operation of the vehicle. It is a value that can be considered. On the other hand, G2 is a point where the probability of an accident dramatically increases. When a G sensor value greater than or equal to G2 is detected, it can be regarded as a G sensor value output by the accident. G1 and G2 may be changed depending on the vehicle speed.
[0085] また、図 6の説明においては、事故の確率が飛躍的にあがっているポイントを G2と しているが、これに限るものではない。たとえば、事故の確率が飛躍的にあがるポイン トより所定量小さい値を G2としてもよい。また、たとえば、事故の確率が 100パーセン [0085] In the description of Fig. 6, the point where the probability of an accident is dramatically increased is G2, but this is not restrictive. For example, G2 may be a value that is a predetermined amount smaller than the point at which the probability of an accident dramatically increases. Also, for example, the probability of an accident is 100 percent
[0086] (Gセンサ値のしき!/、値によって判断される車両の状態) [0086] (G sensor value threshold! /, Vehicle state determined by the value)
つぎに、図 7を用いて、 Gセンサ値のしきい値によって判断される車両の状態につ いて説明する。図 7は、 Gセンサ値のしきい値によって判断される車両の状態につい て示した説明図である。車両に加えられる衝撃は、事故による衝撃、つまり物体の接 触によって車両に加えられる衝撃と、事故以外による衝撃、つまり通常走行時や車両 速度の加減速によって車両に加えられる衝撃とに区別される。 Next, the state of the vehicle determined by the threshold value of the G sensor value will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of the vehicle determined by the threshold value of the G sensor value. The impact applied to the vehicle is distinguished from the impact caused by an accident, that is, the impact applied to the vehicle by contact with an object, and the impact caused by other than the accident, that is, the impact applied to the vehicle during normal driving or acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle speed. .
[0087] まず、 Gセンサ値が G1未満の場合は、通常走行時の衝撃ではある力 物体の接触 による衝撃ではないと判断される。 Gセンサ値が G1以上 G2未満の場合は、通常走 行時の衝撃とも判断される力 S、物体の接触による衝撃であるとも判断される。 Gセンサ 値が G2以上の場合は、通常走行時の衝撃ではなぐ物体の接触による衝撃であると 判断される。したがって、 Gセンサ値が G1未満の場合は、事故による衝撃ではないと 判断されるためドライブレコーダ用画像を保存しない。そして、 Gセンサ値が G2以上 の場合は、事故による衝撃であると判断されるためドライブレコーダ用画像を保存す る。また、 Gセンサ値が G1以上 G2未満の場合は、 Gセンサのみでは事故による衝撃 か否かを判断できない。したがって、各種センサ 516に備えられた赤外線センサや超 音波センサによって、車両に衝撃が加えられた際に至近に物体があるか否かを検出 することで、事故による衝撃か否かを判断する。 [0087] First, when the G sensor value is less than G1, it is determined that the impact is not an impact caused by contact of a force object, which is an impact during normal traveling. When the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G1 and less than G2, it is also judged that the force is S, which is judged as an impact during normal running, and an impact caused by contact with an object. When the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G2, it is determined that the impact is due to the contact of an object rather than the impact during normal driving. Therefore, if the G sensor value is less than G1, it is determined that there is no impact due to an accident, so the drive recorder image is not saved. If the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G2, it is determined that the impact is due to an accident, so the drive recorder image is saved. The Also, if the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G1 and less than G2, it is not possible to determine whether the shock is due to an accident with the G sensor alone. Therefore, it is determined whether there is an impact due to an accident by detecting whether there is an object nearby when an impact is applied to the vehicle by using an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor provided in the various sensors 516.
[0088] (ナビゲーシヨン装置 500の処理の内容) [0088] (Contents of processing of navigation device 500)
つぎに、本実施例 1にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置 500の処理の内容について説明 する。図 8は、本実施例 1にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置の処理の内容を示すフローチ ヤートである。図 8のフローチャートにおいて、まず、 CPU501がカメラ 517を制御し て、ドライブレコーダ用画像の撮影を開始する(ステップ S801)。ドライブレコーダ用 画像は、たとえば、車両に搭載されたカメラ 517から車両の前方方向を撮影した画像 などでもよい。この画像には、たとえば、自車両の他に、対向車両、交差点、交差点 付近の様子、信号機、道路標識などが映し出される。 Next, processing contents of the navigation device 500 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the contents of the processing of the navigation device according to the first embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 8, first, the CPU 501 controls the camera 517 to start shooting a drive recorder image (step S801). The image for the drive recorder may be, for example, an image obtained by photographing the front direction of the vehicle from the camera 517 mounted on the vehicle. In this image, for example, in addition to the host vehicle, an oncoming vehicle, an intersection, a state near the intersection, a traffic light, a road sign, and the like are displayed.
[0089] そして、ステップ S801において撮影されたドライブレコーダ用画像を上書き記録す る(ステップ S802)。具体的には、たとえば、 CPU501の制御により、磁気ディスクド ライブ 504を制御して、ドライブレコーダ用画像を上書き記録用の記録媒体に上書き 記録する。 Then, the drive recorder image taken in step S801 is overwritten and recorded (step S802). Specifically, for example, the CPU 501 controls the magnetic disk drive 504 to overwrite and record the drive recorder image on an overwriting recording medium.
[0090] つぎに、 CPU501は Gセンサ値を検出したか否かを判断する(ステップ S803)。 G センサ値の検出は、たとえば、各種センサ 516に備えられた Gセンサの出力によって Gセンサ値を検出したか否かを判断する。ステップ S803において Gセンサ値を検出 した場合 (ステップ S803 :Yes)、 Gセンサ値が G1以上か否かを判断する(ステップ S 804)。 Gセンサ値が G1以上の場合(ステップ S804 :Yes)、つぎに、 Gセンサ値が G 2以上か否かを判断する (ステップ S805)。 Next, the CPU 501 determines whether or not a G sensor value has been detected (step S803). For the detection of the G sensor value, for example, it is determined whether or not the G sensor value is detected based on the output of the G sensor provided in the various sensors 516. If a G sensor value is detected in step S803 (step S803: Yes), it is determined whether the G sensor value is equal to or greater than G1 (step S804). If the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G1 (step S804: Yes), it is next determined whether or not the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G 2 (step S805).
[0091] ステップ S805において Gセンサ値が G2未満の場合(ステップ S805 : No)、赤外線 センサが物体を検出したか否かを判断する(ステップ S806)。ステップ S806におい て物体を検出した場合(ステップ S806 : Yes)、ステップ S806において検出した物体 と自車両との相対距離を算出し (ステップ S807)、ステップ S807によって算出された 相対距離が所定の距離より短いか否かを判断する。つまり、 自車両と接する位置に 物体があるか否かを判断し (ステップ S808)、自車両と接する位置に物体がある場合 (ステップ S808 : Yes)、ステップ S802において上書き記録をしているドライブレコー ダ用画像を保存用の記録媒体に転送し保存する(ステップ S809)。 [0091] If the G sensor value is less than G2 in step S805 (step S805: No), it is determined whether the infrared sensor has detected an object (step S806). If an object is detected in step S806 (step S806: Yes), the relative distance between the object detected in step S806 and the host vehicle is calculated (step S807), and the relative distance calculated in step S807 is greater than the predetermined distance. Judge whether it is short or not. That is, it is determined whether or not there is an object at a position in contact with the own vehicle (step S808). (Step S808: Yes), the drive recorder image that has been overwritten in Step S802 is transferred to the storage medium for storage (Step S809).
[0092] 一方、ステップ S803において Gセンサ値を検出しない場合(ステップ S803 : No)、 ステップ S804において Gセンサ値が G1未満の場合(ステップ S804: No)、ステップ S806iこお!/、て物体を検出しなレ、場合(ステップ S806: No)、ステップ S808iこお!/、 て自車両と接する位置に物体がな!/、場合(ステップ S808: No)、ステップ S803に戻 り、以降の処理を繰り返す。 [0092] On the other hand, if the G sensor value is not detected in step S803 (step S803: No), if the G sensor value is less than G1 in step S804 (step S804: No), step S806i koo! / If not detected (step S806: No), step S808i Koo! /, If there is an object in contact with your vehicle! / (Step S808: No), return to step S803, and the subsequent processing repeat.
[0093] また、ステップ S805において Gセンサ値が G2以上の場合(ステップ S805 : Yes)、 ステップ S809に進み、ステップ S802において上書き記録をしているドライブレコー ダ用画像を保存用の記録媒体に転送し保存する。 [0093] If the G sensor value is greater than or equal to G2 in step S805 (step S805: Yes), the process proceeds to step S809, and the drive recorder image that has been overwritten in step S802 is transferred to a storage medium for storage. And save.
[0094] なお、図 8のフローチャートにおいては、ステップ S806において赤外線センサが物 体を検出したか否かを判断している力 これに限るものではない。たとえば、超音波 センサや接触検知センサなどにより物体を検出してもよい。 In the flowchart of FIG. 8, the force for determining whether or not the infrared sensor has detected an object in step S806 is not limited to this. For example, an object may be detected by an ultrasonic sensor or a contact detection sensor.
[0095] また、図 8のフローチャートにおいては、ステップ S807において相対距離を算出す るとしているがこれに限るものではない。たとえば、ステップ S806において物体を検 出する検出距離をあらかじめ所定の距離に設定することで、ステップ S807において 相対距離を算出する構成を省略してもよい。 [0095] In the flowchart of Fig. 8, the relative distance is calculated in step S807, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the configuration for calculating the relative distance in step S807 may be omitted by setting the detection distance for detecting the object in step S806 to a predetermined distance in advance.
[0096] 上述したように、実施例 1のナビゲーシヨン装置 500によれば、判断部 105は、衝撃 検出部 103および物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果に基づいて、物体 により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断する。そして、制御部 106は、判断部 105によって物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判断された場合は、物体により 移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存することができる。 [0096] As described above, according to the navigation device 500 of the first embodiment, the determination unit 105 causes the object to impact the moving body based on the detection results detected by the impact detection unit 103 and the object detection unit 104. It is determined whether or not is added. When the determination unit 105 determines that an impact has been applied to the moving body by the determination unit 105, the control unit 106 displays the image recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving body by the object. Data can be transferred and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102.
[0097] したがって、制御部 106は、移動体に衝撃が加えられ、さらに、物体が移動体の至 近にある場合にのみ映像データを保存することで、第 2のメモリ 107への不要な記録 を避け、メモリの空き容量を確保することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した 利用者は、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、メモリの空き容量を確保することがで きる。 [0098] また、実施例 1のナビゲーシヨン装置 500によれば、制御部 106は、衝撃検出部 10 3によって第 3の衝撃を検出した場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果 によらず、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像デ ータを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存することができる 。したがって、制御部 106は、物体のみにより加えられたと判断される衝撃を検出した 場合は、物体の検出をせずに、映像データを保存することができる。これによつて、 移動体に搭乗した利用者は、物体の検出をせずに、事故記録のみを保存させること ができる。 Therefore, the control unit 106 stores unnecessary video data in the second memory 107 only when an impact is applied to the moving object and the object is in the vicinity of the moving object. Can be secured and free memory space can be secured. As a result, a user who has boarded the mobile body can ensure free memory space without recording unnecessary video data. Further, according to the navigation device 500 of the first embodiment, when the control unit 106 detects the third impact by the impact detection unit 103, it does not depend on the detection result detected by the object detection unit 104. The video data recorded in the first memory 102 when an impact is applied to the moving body can be transferred and stored in the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, if the control unit 106 detects an impact determined to be applied only by an object, the control unit 106 can store the video data without detecting the object. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving body can store only the accident record without detecting the object.
[0099] また、実施例 1のナビゲーシヨン装置 500によれば、制御部 106は、衝撃検出部 10 3によって第 1の衝撃を検出した場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果 によらず、移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像デ ータを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送しないことができる。したが つて、制御部 106は、移動体の挙動のみにより加えられたと判断される衝撃を検出し た場合は、物体の検出をせずに、映像データを保存しないことができる。これによつ て、移動体に搭乗した利用者は、物体の検出をせずに、不要な事故記録の保存を避 けること力 Sでさる。 In addition, according to the navigation device 500 of the first embodiment, the control unit 106 does not depend on the detection result detected by the object detection unit 104 when the first detection is detected by the impact detection unit 103. When the impact is applied to the moving body, the video data recorded in the first memory 102 can not be transferred to the second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, if the control unit 106 detects an impact determined to be applied only by the behavior of the moving body, the control unit 106 can not store the video data without detecting the object. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving body can avoid storing unnecessary accident records without detecting the object.
[0100] また、実施例 1のナビゲーシヨン装置 500によれば、判断部 105は、衝撃検出部 10 3によって第 2の衝撃を検出した場合、物体検出部 104によって検出された検出結果 に基づいて、物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたか否かを判断する。そして、制御 部 106は、判断部 105によって物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられたと判断された 場合、物体により移動体に衝撃が加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている 映像データを、第 1のメモリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存することが できる。 [0100] Also, according to the navigation device 500 of the first embodiment, the determination unit 105 detects the second impact by the impact detection unit 103, based on the detection result detected by the object detection unit 104. Then, it is determined whether or not an impact is applied to the moving body by the object. When the determination unit 105 determines that an impact has been applied to the moving body, the control unit 106 records the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving body by the object. Can be transferred and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102.
[0101] したがって、制御部 106は、物体もしくは移動体の挙動により加えられたと判断され る衝撃を検出した場合は、物体検出部 104によって物体を検出し、至近に物体があ る場合にのみ、映像データを保存することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した 利用者は、事故記録のみを保存させることができる。 [0101] Therefore, if the control unit 106 detects an impact that is determined to be applied due to the behavior of the object or moving object, the control unit 106 detects the object by the object detection unit 104, and only when the object is nearby. Video data can be saved. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving body can save only the accident record.
[0102] 以上説明したように、本発明の実施例 1の映像データ記録装置、映像データ記録 方法、映像データ記録プログラム、および記録媒体によれば、移動体に加わった衝 撃を検出した際に、さらに、移動体の至近の物体を検出することで、事故である場合 にのみドライブレコーダ用画像を保存する。したがって、ドライブレコーダ用の画像の 不要な記録を避け、メモリの空き容量を確保すること力 Sできる。これによつて、移動体 に搭乗した利用者は、事故記録を記録し逃すことを避けることができる。 [0102] As described above, the video data recording apparatus and video data recording of Example 1 of the present invention According to the method, the video data recording program, and the recording medium, when an impact applied to the moving body is detected, an object close to the moving body is further detected, so that the drive recorder is used only in the case of an accident. Save the image. Therefore, it is possible to avoid unnecessary recording of images for drive recorders and to secure free memory space. As a result, the user who has boarded the moving body can avoid recording and losing accident records.

[0103] つぎに、本発明の実施例 2について説明する。本実施例 2では、たとえば、物体を 検出する装置を搭載しない車両(四輪車、二輪車を含む)などの移動体に搭載され るナビゲーシヨン装置によって、本発明の映像データ記録装置 300を実施した場合 の一例について説明する。なお、本実施例 2にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置のハードウ エア構成については、図 5とほぼ同様であるため説明を省略する。 [0103] Next, Example 2 of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, for example, the video data recording device 300 of the present invention is implemented by a navigation device mounted on a moving body such as a vehicle (including a four-wheeled vehicle and a two-wheeled vehicle) that does not include a device for detecting an object. An example of the case will be described. Note that the hardware configuration of the navigation device according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as that shown in FIG.

つぎに、本実施例 2にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置 500の処理の内容について説明 する。図 9は、本実施例 2にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置の処理の内容を示すフローチ ヤートである。図 9のフローチャートにおいては、 CPU501がカメラ 517を制御して、 撮影したドライブレコーダ用画像が上書き記録用の記録媒体に常時上書き記録され ている。 Next, processing contents of the navigation device 500 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the contents of the processing of the navigation device according to the second embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 9, the CPU 501 controls the camera 517, and the captured drive recorder image is always overwritten and recorded on the recording medium for overwriting recording.
[0105] 図 9のフローチャートにおいて、まず、各種センサ 516によって衝撃を検出したか否 かを判断する(ステップ S901)。衝撃の検出は、各種センサ 516が備える Gセンサな どによって検出する。ステップ S901において衝撃が検出された場合 (ステップ S901 : Yes)、衝撃がしきい値 T以上か否かを判断する(ステップ S902)。そして、衝撃がし きレ、値 T以上の場合(ステップ S902: Yes)、ステップ S902にお!/、てしき!/、値 T以上 と判断された衝撃を関連付けて、常時上書き記録がされているドライブレコーダ用画 像を保存用の記録媒体に転送し保存する(ステップ S903)。 In the flowchart of FIG. 9, first, it is determined whether or not an impact is detected by the various sensors 516 (step S901). The impact is detected by a G sensor provided in various sensors 516 or the like. If an impact is detected in step S901 (step S901: Yes), it is determined whether the impact is greater than or equal to a threshold value T (step S902). If the impact is greater than or equal to the value T (step S902: Yes), step S902 is associated with the impact determined to be! /, Teshiki! /, Greater than or equal to the value T and always overwritten. The drive recorder image is transferred to a storage medium for storage and stored (step S903).
[0106] 一方、ステップ S901において衝撃が検出されない場合(ステップ S901 : No)、ステ ップ S902にお!/、てしき!/、値 T以上ではな!/、場合(ステップ S902: No)、ステップ S90 1に戻り、以降の処理を繰り返す。 [0106] On the other hand, if no impact is detected in step S901 (step S901: No), if step S902 is! /, Protect! /, If the value is not over T! /, (Step S902: No), Step S901 is returned to and the subsequent processing is repeated.
[0107] つぎに、ステップ S903において保存されたドライブレコーダ用画像のうち、関連付 けられた衝撃がしきい値 T以上の画像数 Cを計数する(ステップ S904)。さらに、 C [0107] Next, among the drive recorder images saved in step S903, the association is performed.

[0110] 上述したように、実施例 2のナビゲーシヨン装置 500によれば、計数部 301によって 第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データから事故に該当する映像データの数を計 数した計数結果および第 2のメモリ 107に保存された映像データの保存数に基づ!/、 て、第 2のメモリ 107から出力された映像データの事故該当率を算出する。そして、事 故該当率判断部 303によって事故該当率が所定の割合以上か否力、を判断した判断 結果に基づいて、しきい値調節部 304によってしきい値を調節することができる。した がって、物体検出部 104によって検出をしなくても、第 2のメモリ 107への不要な保存 を避け、メモリの空き容量を確保することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した 利用者は、物体を検出する装置がない場合も、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、 メモリの空き容量を確保することができる。 [0110] As described above, according to the navigation device 500 of the second embodiment, the counting result obtained by counting the number of video data corresponding to the accident from the video data stored in the second memory 107 by the counting unit 301. Based on the number of video data stored in the second memory 107, the accident hit rate of the video data output from the second memory 107 is calculated. The threshold adjustment unit 304 can adjust the threshold value based on the determination result obtained by determining whether or not the accident corresponding rate determination unit 303 determines whether the accident corresponding rate is equal to or higher than a predetermined ratio. Therefore, even if the detection is not performed by the object detection unit 104, unnecessary storage in the second memory 107 can be avoided and the free space of the memory can be secured. As a result, even when there is no device for detecting an object, a user who has boarded the mobile body can ensure free memory space without recording unnecessary video data.
[0111] また、実施例 2のナビゲーシヨン装置 500によれば、衝撃検出部 103によって移動 体にあらたに加えられた衝撃を検出した場合、判断部 105によってあらたな衝撃がし きい値調節部 304によって調節されたしきい値以上か否かを判断する。そして、制御 部 106は、調節されたしきい値以上と判断されたあらたな衝撃を関連付けて、該衝撃 が移動体に加えられた際に第 1のメモリ 102に記録されている映像データを、第 1のメ モリ 102とは異なる第 2のメモリ 107に転送して保存することができる。したがって、算 出部 302によって算出された事故該当率に基づいて、しきい値を調節し、保存される 映像データの数を調節することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した利用者は 、物体を検出する装置がない場合も、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、メモリの空 さ容量を確保すること力 Sでさる。 [0111] Also, according to the navigation device 500 of the second embodiment, when a shock newly applied to the moving object is detected by the impact detection unit 103, a new impact is applied by the determination unit 105. It is determined whether or not the threshold value adjusted by the threshold value adjustment unit 304 is exceeded. Then, the control unit 106 associates a new impact determined to be equal to or greater than the adjusted threshold value, and the video data recorded in the first memory 102 when the impact is applied to the moving object, It can be transferred and stored in a second memory 107 different from the first memory 102. Therefore, based on the accident hit rate calculated by the calculation unit 302, the threshold value can be adjusted, and the number of video data to be stored can be adjusted. As a result, even if there is no device for detecting an object, a user who has boarded the moving body can avoid unnecessary video data recording and can secure the free space of the memory.
[0112] 以上説明したように、本発明の実施例 2の映像データ記録装置、映像データ記録 方法、映像データ記録プログラム、および記録媒体によれば、移動体に加わった衝 撃を検出した際に、しきい値以上の衝撃が検出された場合にのみドライブレコーダ用 画像を保存する。そして、メモリから出力された映像データの数を計数し、事故該当 率を算出することで、ドライブレコーダ用の画像の不要な記録を避け、メモリの空き容 量を確保することができる。これによつて、移動体に搭乗した利用者は、物体を検出 する装置がない場合も、不要な映像データの記録をさせず、メモリの空き容量を確保 すること力 Sでさる。 [0112] As described above, according to the video data recording device, the video data recording method, the video data recording program, and the recording medium of the second embodiment of the present invention, when an impact applied to the moving body is detected, Save the drive recorder image only when an impact exceeding the threshold is detected. Then, by counting the number of video data output from the memory and calculating the accident hit rate, unnecessary recording of images for the drive recorder can be avoided, and free memory space can be secured. As a result, even if there is no device for detecting an object, a user who has boarded the moving body can avoid recording unnecessary video data and use the power S to secure a free memory space.
