Abstract
An in-vehicle apparatus includes: a selection unit configured to select at least one candidate camera from plural cameras based on position information of each of the plural cameras; a reception unit configured to establish communication connection with the candidate camera selected by the selection unit and to start to receive video captured by the candidate camera; and a display control unit configured to display the video received by the reception unit in response to a predetermined display condition being satisfied.
Claims16
An in-vehicle apparatus that is mounted in a host vehicle, the in-vehicle apparatus comprising a hardware processor configured to:
- select, in response to a trigger being detected, at least one candidate camera from a plurality of cameras, the at least one candidate camera corresponding to a scene which is predicted in relation to the trigger and of which a video is desired, the at least one candidate camera being selected based on position information of each of the plurality of cameras;
- establish communication connection with the at least one candidate camera that has been selected;
- start processing that receives video captured by the at least one candidate camera;
- and
- display the video that is received as a result of the processing in response to a predetermined display condition being satisfied, the predetermined display condition being satisfied:
- (i) after the trigger is detected, (ii) after the communication connection has been established, and (iii) after the start of the processing.
A distribution system comprising:
- an in-vehicle apparatus that is mounted in a host vehicle, the in-vehicle apparatus comprising a hardware processor configured to:
- select, in response to a trigger being detected, at least one candidate camera from a plurality of cameras, the at least one candidate camera corresponding to a scene which is predicted in relation to the trigger and of which a video is desired, the at least one candidate camera being selected based on position information of each of the plurality of cameras;
- establish communication connection with the at least one candidate camera that has been selected;
- start processing that receives video captured by the at least one candidate camera;
- and
- display the video that is received as a result of the processing in response to a predetermined display condition being satisfied, the predetermined display condition being satisfied:
- (i) after the trigger is detected, (ii) after the communication connection has been established, and (iii) after the start of the processing;
- a management apparatus configured to collect position information of the at least one candidate camera and to provide the position information of the at least one candidate camera to the in-vehicle apparatus;
- and
- the plurality of cameras.
A video receiving method that is executed by a hardware processor of an in-vehicle apparatus that is mounted in a host vehicle, the method comprising:
- selecting, in response to a trigger being detected, at least one candidate camera from a plurality of cameras, the at least one candidate camera corresponding to a scene which is predicted in relation to the trigger and of which a video is desired, the at least one candidate camera being selected based on position information of each of the plurality of cameras;
- establishing communication connection with the at least one candidate camera that has been selected, starting processing that receives video captured by the at least one candidate camera;
- and
- controlling a display of the host vehicle such that the video that is received as a result of the processing is displayed in response to a predetermined display condition being satisfied, the predetermined display condition being satisfied:
- (i) after the trigger is detected, (ii) after the communication connection has been established, and (iii) after the start of the processing.
