A recording apparatus includes an imaging data acquisition unit, a movement information acquisition unit, an inter-vehicle detection unit and a recording control unit. The imaging data acquisition unit acquires imaging data and voice data. The movement information acquisition unit acquires movement information including a moving speed of the vehicle. The inter-vehicle detection unit detects an inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and the other vehicle. The recording control unit determines that a voice recording condition is established when the moving speed of the vehicle is equal to or higher than a preset speed and the inter-vehicle distance is less than a preset distance, and causes the recording unit to record a first imaging data including the video data and the voice data when the voice recording condition is established or a second imaging data including the video data but not the voice data when the condition is not established.

Recording apparatus, recording method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A vehicle electronic device includes a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of a current position of a vehicle; a map information storage unit configured to store map information presenting a map for identifying an area corresponding to the current position of the vehicle on the map; and an area identification unit configured to identify the area corresponding to the current position of the vehicle based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit and the map information stored in the map information storage unit. The map information is information for identifying a border of an area containing a country, a prefecture, a municipality, a state or a district. The border of the area is specified as a set of points representing the border.

Vehicle electronic device, control method and program

A drive recorder includes: an imaging unit, an image processing unit, a position information acquisition unit, a communication unit, and a function control processing unit. The imaging unit captures an image of a neighborhood of a vehicle. The image processing unit records the image captured by the imaging unit in a recording medium. The position information acquisition unit acquires position information on the vehicle. The communication unit communicates with a server apparatus to deliver information including the position information. The function control processing unit acquires area information transmitted from the server apparatus based on the position information, the area information relating to an area in which the vehicle is located.

Drive recorder, image recording method, and recording medium for image recording

A dashcam serving as an on-vehicle image capturing and recording apparatus includes: a cancellation processing unit configured to perform cancellation processing for reducing an electronic device sound on a sound acquired by a surrounding image/sound acquisition unit based on the characteristics of an electronic device sound acquired by an electronic device sound acquisition unit; and an abnormality detection unit configured to detect an abnormality of a vehicle, in which the acquired sound of the surroundings of the vehicle and a cancel sound are temporality recorded, a recording control unit is configured to discard the cancel sound and integrate only the sound of the surroundings of the vehicle with the image and record the integrated data when the abnormality detection unit does not detect an abnormality and otherwise records the cancel sounds and the sounds of the surroundings of the vehicle along with the image as overwriting prohibited data.

On-vehicle image and sound capturing and recording apparatus, on-vehicle image and sound capturing control method, and program for on-vehicle image and sound capturing and recording based on abnormality detection

A recording control device includes: a video data acquisition unit configured to acquire data on a video obtained by shooting an outside of a vehicle; a buffer memory configured to temporarily store the data on the video; an event detection unit configured to detect occurrence of a predetermined event; a traveling information acquisition unit configured to acquire traveling information on the vehicle; and a recording control unit configured to determine a first period based on the traveling information and to record the data on the video, among the data on the video stored in the buffer memory, obtained from a time point as far back as the first period before the time point of detection of the event until a time point at which a second period has passed since the time point of detection of the event.

Recording control device, recording apparatus, recording control method, and recording control program

An on-vehicle display control device includes a video data acquiring unit that acquires video data from multiple bird's-eye view video cameras for videos of a front, a rear, a left side, and a right side of a vehicle, and video data from rear side cameras for videos of rear left-side and rear right-side views of the vehicle; a bird's-eye view video generating unit that generates a bird's-eye view video by performing a viewpoint conversion and synthesizing processes on the videos of the bird's-eye view video cameras; a confirmation request detecting unit that detects a left-right situation confirmation request; and a display controller that displays, when the confirmation request is detected, on a display in a direction of the confirmation request, the video from the rear side camera in the confirmation request direction and the video in a direction corresponding to the confirmation request direction in the bird's-eye view video.
