This can reduce the risk of erroneously determining that an accident has occurred. , and can perform appropriate control when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle. . On the other hand, if the drive recorder R is installed in the vehicle, the acceleration sensor output signal A signal acquisition control unit 1L acquires an output signal from the acceleration sensor RL.

[0025] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the LTE data communication control unit 1M uses the LTE wireless communication standard. It controls whether or not the LTE data communication unit RM should perform the data communication that was requested. The voice data communication control unit 1N controls the voice data communication by VoIP as VoIP voice data communication. The control unit RN controls whether or not to perform the process.

[0026] The ADAS function control unit 1O determines whether to cause the ADAS function unit RO to provide the driving assistance function. Execute the control. When the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the ADAS function control unit 1O The ADAS function unit RO does not provide driving assistance functions. As a result, power consumption can be reduced and the built-in battery RJ is used. It can be made smaller. It also reduces heat generated by the drive recorder R when it is removed from the vehicle. It is possible. On the other hand, if the drive recorder R is installed in the vehicle, the ADAS function control unit 10 causes the ADAS function unit RO to provide the driving assistance function. However, it provides driving assistance such as parking assistance, lane keeping assistance, and collision avoidance assistance.

[0027] The DMS function control unit 1P controls whether or not the DMS function unit RP provides the driver monitoring function. Execute the control. When the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the DMS function control unit 1P The driver monitoring function is not provided to the DMS function part RP. In other words, the driver monitoring function that requires complex calculations is not provided to the DMS function part RP. As a result, power consumption can be reduced and the built-in battery RJ is used. It can be made smaller. It also reduces heat generated by the drive recorder R when it is removed from the vehicle. It is possible. On the other hand, when the drive recorder R is installed in the vehicle, the DMS function control unit 1 P causes the DMS function unit RP to provide the driver monitoring function. That is, the DMS function unit RP: For example, it estimates whether the driver is looking away, yawning, or dozing off, and issues a warning if necessary.

[0028] The front camera image playback control unit 1Q controls, for example, the drive information received by the touch panel RH. In response to an input operation by the user of the recorder R, the front camera image recording control unit 1A The image in front of the vehicle (image of the vehicle captured by the front camera RA) is stored in the memory unit R1. The control to play the video (forward video) is executed. The rear camera image playback control unit 1R controls the drive recorder received by the touch panel RH, for example. In response to an input operation by the user of the rear camera R, the rear camera image recording control unit 1B stores the image in the storage unit 1B.

In response to an input operation by the user of the reader R, the in-camera video recording control unit 1C stores the video in the storage unit. Playback the video recorded in the car (video captured by the in-car camera RC) Executes control. The microphone voice reproduction control unit 1T, for example, In response to input operations by the user of R, the microphone voice recording control unit 1E records the voice in the memory unit R1. It converts the recorded audio data and controls the speaker RF to output the audio.

[0029] The setting save and restore control unit 1U controls saving the setting of the drive recorder R in the storage unit R1. and controls to restore the settings of the drive recorder R stored in the storage unit R1. When the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle (i.e., switch R2 is in removal mode), When the drive recorder R is turned on, the setting save and restore control unit 1U saves the setting of the drive recorder R at that time. The data is stored in memory R1. When the drive recorder R is installed in the vehicle (i.e., switch R2 is in the installation mode), When the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the setting save and restore control unit 1U When the drive recorder R is turned on, the settings of the drive recorder R stored in the memory unit R1 are instantly restored. This reduces the time required for setting up the drive recorder R when it is installed in a vehicle.

[0030] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the storage unit R1 and restored when the Drive Recorder R is installed in the vehicle. The white balance of the front camera RA, rear camera RB and in-camera RC is set to [DAR]. This includes the driver settings. The environment is different when the Drive Recorder R is installed in a vehicle. The white balance when the Drive Recorder R is removed from the vehicle is used to This is because it takes time to adjust the white balance when it is attached. In another example, when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the front camera RA, The white balance setting of at least one of the rear camera RB and the front camera RC is recorded. It does not have to be stored in the memory R1.

[0031] When the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, GPS signal acquisition control In an example where the unit 1K does not allow the GPS receiver RK to receive a GPS signal, the drive recorder R When the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, it is stored in the memory unit R1. The settings of the drive recorder R that are restored when the GPS receiver RK receives the GPS signal are When the Drive Recorder R is removed from the vehicle, The PS receiver RK does not receive GPS signals and the drive recorder R is not installed in the vehicle. When driving, the GPS receiver RK receives the GPS signal, so the environment is different between the two, and the driving When the recorder R is installed in the vehicle, the GPS receiver RK receives the GPS signal. This is because setting up the system takes time. In another example, when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the GPS receiver RK The settings for receiving PS signals do not have to be stored in the storage unit R1.

[0032] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the storage unit R1 and restored when the Drive Recorder R is installed in the vehicle. The settings of the driver R include settings for the ADAS function unit RO to provide driving assistance functions. When the Live Recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the ADAS function unit RO will perform the driving assistance function. When the drive recorder R is installed in the vehicle, the ADAS function unit RO Since the driving support function is provided by the Drive Recorder R, the environment is different between the two. When the driver is connected, the ADAS function unit RO sets up the driver assistance function (initial This is because it takes time to perform the analysis. In another example, when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the ADAS function unit RO The settings for providing the driving assistance function do not have to be stored in the memory unit R1.

The ADAS function unit RO receives the signal, and the DMS function unit RP receives the driving assistance function. Driver monitoring function, cooling function for the drive recorder R by fan RI, rear view video recording function It has a function to record images taken by the rear camera RB for images, and an in-car camera for recording images. This includes the ability to record images captured by the Mela RC. "The function of making the GPS receiver RK receive GPS signals" is not included in "specific functions." That's fine. The recording control device 1 of the first embodiment is configured to operate when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle. In this case, playback of recorded video by the drive recorder R may be prohibited.

[0044] In another example of the drive recorder R to which the recording control device 1 of the first embodiment is applied, When the Drive Recorder R is removed from the vehicle and in use, When the temperature reaches a threshold value (for example, 40°C, 43°C, 45°C, etc.), the recording control device 1 will stop all functions other than those related to recording with the Drive Recorder R and The quality of the recording may be controlled to be below a predetermined level until the temperature of the exterior surface falls below a threshold temperature.

[0045] Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the recording control device and program of the present invention will now be described. The recording control device 1 of the second embodiment is the same as the recording control device of the first embodiment described above, except for the points that will be described later. Therefore, according to the recording control device 1 of the second embodiment, Except for the points described above, the recording control device 1 of the first embodiment can achieve the same effects as those of the recording control device 1 of the first embodiment. Cut.

[0046] As described above, in the drive recorder R to which the recording control device 1 of the first embodiment is applied, An acceleration sensor RL is provided in the drive recorder R. On the other hand, in the drive recorder R to which the recording control device 1 of the second embodiment is applied, the acceleration sensor Sensor RL is not provided in Drive Recorder R, and Drive Recorder R is the output signal of the acceleration sensor (i.e., the acceleration sensor that detects the acceleration acting on the vehicle) Get.

[0047] In the drive recorder R to which the recording control device 1 of the second embodiment is applied, the acceleration sensor output The force signal acquisition control unit 1L determines whether to acquire the output signal of the acceleration sensor provided in the vehicle. Execute the control. When the Drive Recorder R is removed from the vehicle, the acceleration sensor output signal acquisition control The control unit 1L does not acquire the output signal of the acceleration sensor provided in the vehicle. The output signal of the acceleration sensor is acquired when the recorder R is removed from the vehicle. As a result, it is possible to reduce the risk of erroneously determining that an accident has occurred. That is, to perform appropriate control when the drive recorder R is removed from the vehicle. can be done. On the other hand, if the drive recorder R is installed in the vehicle, the acceleration sensor output signal The signal acquisition control unit 1L acquires an output signal from an acceleration sensor provided in the vehicle.
