Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems incur high costs when transmitting captured images, which hinders efficient data transmission and can delay critical information dissemination during disasters or accidents.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that dynamically adjusts communication volumes between a first network for image transmission and a second network for terminal communication based on event determinations, such as accidents or abnormal vehicle behavior, to optimize data transfer and reduce costs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the number of timings at which an image is captured is increased to collect more captured images, then the quantity of image data is improved, but communication costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The communication control section dynamically adjusts the image capture timing based on determination results from the determination section. When a predetermined event is detected, the system increases capture frequency to collect more images; when no event is detected, it reduces capture frequency to minimize communication costs. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between collecting sufficient images and controlling communication expenses.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of image capture timing based on the occurrence of predetermined events. By transitioning between different capture frequency states (high frequency during events, low frequency during normal conditions), the system optimizes both the quantity of captured images and communication cost efficiency.
2Loss of information
If communication volume is increased to transmit more image data, then information completeness is improved, but communication efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The communication control section dynamically adjusts communication volume based on real-time determination results. When events are detected, the system increases communication volume to ensure complete information transmission; during normal periods, it reduces volume to maintain communication efficiency. This dynamic control balances information completeness with communication productivity.
3Loss of time
If communication frequency is increased to transmit captured images more often, then timeliness of information provision is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts communication frequency based on event detection. During predetermined events, communication frequency increases to ensure timely information provision; during normal conditions, frequency decreases to conserve energy. This dynamic strategy resolves the trade-off between timeliness and energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system employs periodic image capture and transmission, with the period dynamically adjusted based on event occurrence. During events, the period shortens for timely transmission; during normal operation, the period lengthens to reduce energy consumption, maintaining an optimal balance between responsiveness and efficiency.

AI summary
A communication system includes: a determination section that determines occurrence of an event; and a communication control section that relays between a first communication network communicating with an external communication apparatus and a second communication network communicating with a mobile communication terminal. The communication control section sets a control target of a communication volume of at least one of a first communication and a second communication among communications via the first communication network, based on a result of determination of occurrence of the event. The first communication is performed through other processing than relaying processing, and the second communication is performed through the relaying processing.
