Drive recorder, drive recorder system, method of controlling drive recorder, and program

Abstract

Provided is a drive recorder comprising imaging means (140) for imaging the scene ahead of the vehicle when the vehicle is traveling, moving image data generation means (150) for generating moving image data from the captured video signal, a storage unit (17) for storing the moving image data, recording means (170) for recording the moving image data in the storage unit (17), event occurrence detection means (130) for detecting an accident occurrence, still image data generation means (160) for generating still image data including still images at predetermined time intervals from the video signal, first transmission means (210) for transmitting the still image data to an external device via a wireless network when the event occurrence detection means (130) detects occurrence of an accident, and second transmission means (220) for transmitting the moving image data after the transmission by the first transmission means (210). The recorder of can reduce the risk of loss of evidence data of when an accident occurs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a drive recorder, a drive recorder system, a drive recorder control method and a program for recording moving image data inside and outside a running vehicle for the purpose of recording evidence data for finding out the cause of an accident. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, as this type of driving recorder, the dynamic image data is stored in non-volatile memory such as MRAM, and when an accident is detected and the data is required to be kept, the save flag is turned on, so as to prevent accidents when an accident occurs. The device for data disappearance is widely known (for example, Patent Document 1) [0003] Patent Document 1: JP Unexamined Publication No. 2003-69936 [0004] However, in the drive recorder described in Patent Document 1, when the vehicle is burned due to a serious accident, the MRAM itself is also burned, resulting in the loss of moving image data. In other words, it is expected t...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the drive recorder described in Patent Document 1, when the vehicle is burned due to a serious accident, the MRAM itself is also burned, resulting in the disappearance of moving image data.

In other words, it is expected that even though moving image data is recorded as evidence data for the purpose of finding out the cause of an accident, the evidence disappears due to the accident.
