Abstract
A drive recorder to be mounted on a vehicle includes an acquisition unit, a recording unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires data representing driving condition. The recording unit records the acquired data. The communication unit transmits the acquired data to the outside. The control unit controls the quality of the data to be transmitted based on the information received from the outside.
Claims15
An apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to perform data communication via a network;
- a storage device comprising a first storage area and a second storage area, the first storage area being different from the second storage area;
- a processor configured to execute instructions to:
- store a first video file in the first storage area based on video captured by a camera mounted on the vehicle;
- receive, from an external device via the communication interface, a command to activate video control based on a geographical the condition;
- acquire position information of the vehicle;
- determine whether the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition, wherein the geographical condition includes geographical area information, and the determining whether the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition includes determining whether a position of the vehicle represented by the position information of the vehicle is within an area represented by the geographical area information;
- in a case that the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition, store a second video file in the second storage area based on video captured by the camera and transmit, to the external device, the second video file stored in the second storage area;
- and
- transmit, to the external device, the first video file stored in the first storage area in a case that the position information of the vehicle does not satisfies the geographic condition.

A method comprising:
- storing a first video file in the first storage area based on video captured by a camera mounted on a vehicle;
- receiving, from an external device via the communication interface, a command to activate video control based on a geographical condition;
- acquiring position information of the vehicle;
- determining whether the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition, wherein the geographical condition includes geographical area, and the determining whether the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition includes determining whether a position of the vehicle represented by the position information is within an area represented by the geographical area information;
- in a case that the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition, storing a second video file in the a second storage area based on video captured by the camera and transmitting, to the external device, the second video file stored in the second storage area;
- and
- transmitting, to the external device, the first video file stored in the first storage area in a case that the position information of the vehicle does not satisfies the geographic condition.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program comprising instructions for causing a computer, to execute processing of:
- storing a first video file in a first storage area based on video captured by a camera mounted on a vehicle;
- receiving, from the external device via the communication interface, a command to activate video control based on a geographical condition;
- acquiring position information of the vehicle;
- determining whether the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition, wherein the geographical condition includes geographical area, and the determining whether the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition includes determining whether a position of the vehicle represented by the position information is within an area represented by the geographical area information;
- in a case that the position information of the vehicle satisfies the geographical condition, storing a second video file in a second storage area based on video captured by the camera and transmitting, to the external device, the second video file stored in the second storage area;
- and
- transmitting, to the external device, the first video file stored in the first storage area in a case that the position information of the vehicle does not satisfies the geographic condition.
