The management device 1 is, for example, a server, and a point in time when the occurrence of a predetermined event that triggers the recording of a captured image obtained by the imaging of the imaging device 2 installed in the vehicle 4 is detected via the communication network 5 The event detection information including the position information indicating the position of the vehicle 4 is received from the imaging device 2. Further, the management device 1 determines whether or not the position indicated by the position information included in the event detection information received from the imaging device 2 is a position where it is estimated that the driver has visited a plurality of times.

The imaging device 2 is, for example, a drive recorder, and is mounted on the vehicle 4. The photographing device 2 photographs the traveling direction of the vehicle 4. The imaging device 2 generates event recording information including imaging data at a specific point in time based on a point in time when the occurrence of a predetermined event is detected, as a trigger that the occurrence of the predetermined event is detected. The imaging data is at least one captured image. Specifically, the imaging device 2 performs a first period from the time when the occurrence of the predetermined event is detected to a predetermined time before and the second from the time when the occurrence of the predetermined event is detected to a predetermined time after Event recording information including shooting data of a third period including a period of In addition, the imaging device 2 transmits, to the management device 1, event detection information including position information indicating the position of the vehicle 4 at the time when the occurrence of a predetermined event is detected.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the management apparatus according to the first embodiment.

The management device 1 includes a communication unit 11, a control unit 12, and a storage unit 13.

The communication unit 11 communicates with an external device such as the imaging device 2 via the communication network 5 such as the Internet, using wireless or wired communication, and transmits and receives information.

The control unit 12 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and includes an event detection information acquisition unit 121, a danger determination unit 122, and a tag addition control unit 123.

The storage unit 13 includes an event detection information storage unit 131, an action history information storage unit 132, an associate information storage unit 133, and another device information storage unit 134.

Here, the predetermined event indicates various events that occur with the occurrence of a near-miss event that does not lead to an accident but may possibly lead to an accident in some cases. As an example of the predetermined event, there is an event that the acceleration generated by the driver's act of pressing the brake suddenly exceeds a threshold. Also, as another example of the predetermined event, there is an event that the amount of change in the steering angle or the yaw rate or roll rate of the vehicle 4 generated by the driver's sudden turning of the steering wheel exceeds a threshold. Further, as another example of the predetermined event, there is an event which occurs due to an action of the driver quickly stepping on the brake from the accelerator, or a time from releasing the accelerator to stepping on the brake falls below a threshold.

The event detection information storage unit 131 stores the event detection information acquired by the event detection information acquisition unit 121.

The danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is visited a plurality of times based on at least one of action history information indicating the action history of the driver of the vehicle 4 and related person information related to the related person of the driver. It is determined whether or not the position is estimated.

As a result, although the route that drivers usually use and the events that occur in places that they usually pass are not caused by an accident, they may be caused by a dangerous situation that may lead to an accident in some cases. It is possible to estimate. It is highly likely that a dangerous situation has occurred that the driver suddenly applies the brakes despite the familiar road. Therefore, when it is determined that the event detection position is a position where it is estimated that the driver has visited a plurality of times, it is possible to estimate that the captured image captured at the event detection position is an image that shows a dangerous situation. .

The danger determination unit 122 determines, based on the movement history of the vehicle 4, whether or not the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is a position at which the vehicle 4 has passed a plurality of times in the past. Specifically, the danger determination unit 122 extracts a traveling route having the number of times of traveling equal to or more than a predetermined number of times from the traveling route information storage unit 1321, and the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is present on the extracted traveling route. It is determined whether to do. If the danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position is a position at which the vehicle 4 has passed a plurality of times in the past, it determines that the event detection position is a position estimated to have been visited a plurality of times by the driver. Do.

The registration information storage unit 1322 stores a route or a destination registered in advance in the vehicle 4. The registration information storage unit 1322 stores a registered route registered in advance in the car navigation device disposed in the vehicle 4 or a destination registered in advance in the car navigation device disposed in the vehicle 4. The car navigation apparatus receives an input of a destination by a driver, calculates a travel route from the current position to the destination, and registers the calculated travel route as a registered route. In addition, the car navigation device guides the driver according to the registered route. The car navigation device transmits the registered registration route or destination to the management device 1. The communication unit 11 of the management device 1 stores the registered route or the destination received from the car navigation device in the registration information storage unit 1322. The registration information storage unit 1322 associates and stores vehicle identification information for identifying the vehicle 4 and the registered registration route or destination.

The danger determination unit 122 determines whether or not the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is a position existing on the registered registered route, or the destination where the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is registered. From this, it is determined whether or not the position is within a predetermined range. When the danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position is a position existing on the registered registered route, or the event detection position is a position within a predetermined range from the registered destination. When it determines with, it determines with an event detection position being a position estimated that the driver has visited several times.

In addition, the registration information storage unit 1322 may store an implementation place registered in advance as a place where the driver has performed a specific action. The implementation location is, for example, a location at which the driver eats and drinks, a location at which the driver has stayed, or a location at which the driver has purchased, and the like, and is input by the car navigation device or the terminal device. The danger determination unit 122 may determine whether the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is a position existing within a predetermined range from the implementation location. When the danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position is a position existing within a predetermined range from the implementation location, the danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position is a position where it is estimated that the driver has visited multiple times.

The driver movement history storage unit 1323 stores the movement history of the driver. The movement history of the driver is acquired by a terminal device possessed by the driver. The terminal device is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a wearable device. The terminal device includes a position measurement unit such as a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, and measures position information of the terminal device, that is, position information of a driver who holds the terminal device. The terminal device periodically measures the position information of the driver, and transmits the movement route of the driver to the management device 1 as the movement history of the driver. The communication unit 11 of the management device 1 stores the driver movement history received from the terminal device in the driver movement history storage unit 1323. The driver movement history storage unit 1323 associates and stores driver identification information for identifying the driver, a past movement route of the driver, and the number of times the driver has moved the movement route.

Note that the driver movement history storage unit 1323 distinguishes and stores a movement route where the driver travels on the vehicle and a movement route where the driver travels off the vehicle based on the driver mode information added to the position information. It is also good. For example, position information measured in a state where the driver mode of the terminal device is on is processed as information on a travel route traveled by the driver by the vehicle. Further, the position information measured in a state where the driver mode of the terminal device is off is processed as information of a moving route where the driver has moved on foot. And the process of the below-mentioned danger determination part 122 may be performed using only the movement route which the driver moved by the vehicle.

The danger determination unit 122 determines, based on the movement history of the driver, whether or not the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is a position at which the driver has passed a plurality of times in the past. Specifically, the danger determination unit 122 extracts the movement route having the movement number of times equal to or more than the predetermined number from the driver movement history storage unit 1323 and the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information exists on the extracted movement route. It is determined whether to do. If the danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position is a position at which the driver has passed several times in the past, it determines that the event detection position is a position at which it is estimated that the driver has visited multiple times. .

The related party information storage unit 133 stores related party information related to the related party of the driver. The driver's associates are, for example, the driver's friends, relatives and lovers, etc., who are the ones with whom the driver frequently meets. The concerned party information includes a residence place registered in advance as a place where the concerned party lives. The car navigation device or the terminal device receives an input of the residence place of the person concerned by the driver. The car navigation device or the terminal device transmits information indicating the input residence location to the management device 1. The communication unit 11 of the management device 1 stores the information indicating the place of residence received from the car navigation device or the terminal device in the concerned person information storage unit 133. The related party information storage unit 133 stores driver identification information for identifying a driver in association with the registered place of the related party.

In addition, related party information may be stored automatically. Specifically, the related party information may be generated from destination information registered in a car navigation device or the like. For example, the car navigation device transmits the registered purpose information to the management device 1. When the destination information includes information such as “friend's house” as the attribute of the destination, the related information storage unit 133 associates the position information of the position included in the destination information with the driver identification information. Remember.

Further, the related party information may be generated based on a mode (hereinafter, also referred to as a driving mode) that restricts the function of the terminal device during driving provided in the terminal device of the driver. For example, the related party information storage unit 133 stores the position information of the position where the driving mode is switched on and off frequently (for example, a predetermined number of times or more) from the position information received from the terminal device in association with the driver identification information Do. The point at which the driving mode changes frequently is estimated to be the point at which the driver often rides on and off the vehicle, ie, the point at which the driver often visits.

The danger determination unit 122 determines whether or not the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is within a predetermined range from the place of residence of the person concerned. When the danger determination unit 122 determines that the event detection position is a position existing within a predetermined range from the place of residence of the person concerned, the event detection position is assumed to be a position estimated to have been visited a plurality of times by the driver. judge.

When it is determined that the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is a position estimated to have visited a plurality of times, the tag addition control unit 123 controls the recording of the captured image. When it is determined that the event detection position indicated by the event detection position information is a position estimated to have been visited a plurality of times, the tag addition control unit 123 detects the occurrence of a predetermined event via the communication unit 11. Tag application instructing information for instructing to add event information to tag information indicating that shooting data of a predetermined period including the time point of shooting is shooting data showing a dangerous situation is transmitted to the shooting apparatus 2.

The photographing unit 22 is a camera, mounted on a vehicle, and photographs a vehicle or the surroundings of the vehicle. The imaging unit 22 periodically (eg, once every 30 milliseconds) stores imaging data obtained by imaging in the imaging information storage unit 273.

The position measurement unit 23 is, for example, a GPS receiver, and measures position information of the imaging device 2, that is, position information of a vehicle. The position information measured by the position measurement unit 23 is used, for example, as position information of the photographing device 2 when a predetermined event is detected by the event detection unit 25. Position information of the photographing apparatus 2 at the time when a predetermined event is detected by the event detection unit 25 is added to the event detection information as event detection position information.

The own device information storage unit 271 stores own device information indicating information on the photographing device 2. The own device information includes at least identification information for identifying the imaging device 2. The identification information is added to the transmission information when transmitting the information from the imaging device 2 to the management device 1. For example, when the event detection information is transmitted from the imaging device 2 to the management device 1, the communication unit 21 adds the identification information to the event detection information, and transmits the event detection information to which the identification information is added. Thus, the management device 1 can recognize which imaging device 2 has transmitted the event detection information.

Next, the event recording information recording control unit 261 extracts, from the shooting information storage unit 273, shooting data of a predetermined period before and after the time when the occurrence of an event is detected. Then, the event recording information recording control unit 261 includes the acquired position information and time information as event detection position information and event detection time information, respectively, and generates event recording information including the extracted shooting data, and generates the generated event recording information. The recording information is stored in the event recording information storage unit 274.

Send. When the event detection unit 25 detects the occurrence of a predetermined event, the event detection information transmission control unit 262 acquires position information of the imaging device 2 from the position measurement unit 23. Then, the event detection information transmission control unit 262 generates event detection information including the acquired position information as event detection position information, and transmits the generated event detection information to the management device 1.

The timing at which the event detection information transmission control unit 262 transmits event detection information to the management device 1 may be any timing. For example, the event detection information transmission control unit 262 may transmit the event detection information to the management device 1 at the timing when the event recording information is stored in the event recording information storage unit 274. In this case, the event detection information transmission control unit 262 can transmit the event detection information to the management device 1 at a timing close to real time, so that the management device 1 captures an image showing a dangerous situation It can be determined whether it contains data.

In addition, as another example of the timing which transmits event detection information to the management apparatus 1, the case where the transmission instruction input of a driver may be received may be sufficient, and it may be regular.

The tag attachment instruction information reception control unit 263 receives the tag attachment instruction information transmitted by the management device 1.
