Communication device, method of controlling communication device, and recording medium

A method of controlling a communication of a vehicle, comprising steps of:

• detecting a state of the vehicle based on a detection value of a sensor provided in the vehicle and outputting a detection result to the display;
• notifying, to a driver of the vehicle, the state of the vehicle by displaying an image corresponding to the state of the vehicle as indicated by the detection result, and outputting an image identification assigned to each of notification contents with a state value which is a value indicating the state of the vehicle and which is associated with each image identification in advance;
• determining whether or not the image identification outputted is the image identification of a type that is outputted for the first time after an ignition power source of the vehicle is turned on;
• when determining that the image identification outputted is the image identification of the type that is received for the first time after the ignition power source is turned on, and the state value of the image identification outputted indicates a change to a particular value after the ignition power source of the vehicle is turned on, acquiring, from the sensor, a vehicle data including a power source state data indicating a current power source state, a current position data indicating a current position of the vehicle, and a vehicle speed data indicating a current speed of the vehicle;
• and
• recording, in a memory, the vehicle data acquired in association with the image identification outputted,
• wherein the image identification having the same image identification outputted and the vehicle data associated with the image identification is restricted from being re-recorded in the memory until a prescribed condition is established.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a communication control program executed by a processor of a vehicle to:

• detect a state of the vehicle based on a detection value of a sensor provided in the vehicle and output a detection result to the display;
• notify, to a driver of the vehicle, the state of the vehicle by displaying an image corresponding to the state of the vehicle as indicated by the detection result, and output an image identification assigned to each of notification contents with a state value which is a value indicating the state of the vehicle and which is associated with each image identification in advance;
• determine whether or not the image identification outputted is the image identification of a type that is outputted for the first time after an ignition power source of the vehicle is turned on;
• when determining that the image identification outputted is the image identification of the type that is received for the first time after the ignition power source is turned on, and the state value of the image identification outputted indicates a change to a particular value after the ignition power source of the vehicle is turned on, acquire, from the sensor, a vehicle data including a power source state data indicating a current power source state, a current position data indicating a current position of the vehicle, and a vehicle speed data indicating a current speed of the vehicle;
• record, in a memory, the vehicle data acquired in association with the image identification outputted;
• and restrict re-recording, in the memory, the image identification having the same image identification acquired and the vehicle data associated with the image identification until a prescribed condition is established.
