an information obtaining section configured to obtain information related to travel of the vehicle from a second apparatus of the vehicle, the second apparatus being different from the first apparatus; and a storage processing section configured to store target data collected by the data collection section in association with the information related to travel of the vehicle obtained by the information obtaining section. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An on-vehicle data management device comprising: a data collection section configured to collect data that is obtained by a first apparatus of a vehicle and that is recorded in a record region provided in the first apparatus; an information obtaining section configured to obtain information related to travel of the vehicle from a second apparatus of the vehicle, the second apparatus being different from the first apparatus; and a storage processing section configured to store target data collected by the data collection section in association with the information related to travel of the vehicle obtained by the information obtaining section. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 1, wherein the storage processing section stores the target data in association with information related to travel of the vehicle, on the basis of a date and a time of recording of the target data and a date and a time of obtainment of the information related to travel of the vehicle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 1, wherein the information related to travel of the vehicle is a total travel distance of the vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 3, wherein the storage processing section embeds the total travel distance of the vehicle into a part of a file name of the target data. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 1, wherein the first apparatus deletes, from the record region, the target data collected by the data collection section. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 2, wherein the first apparatus deletes, from the record region, the target data collected by the data collection section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 3, wherein the first apparatus deletes, from the record region, the target data collected by the data collection section. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 4, wherein the first apparatus deletes, from the record region, the target data collected by the data collection section. ### Claim 9 A data management method performed by a computer device mounted on a vehicle, the data management method comprising: a collection step of collecting data that is obtained by a first apparatus of the vehicle and that is recorded in a record region provided in the first apparatus; an obtainment step of obtaining information related to travel of the vehicle from a second apparatus of the vehicle, the second apparatus being different from the first apparatus; and a step of storing target data collected in the collection step, into a storage section, in association with the information related to travel of the vehicle obtained in the obtainment step. ### Claim 10 A data structure of a data file in which on-vehicle data related to a vehicle is stored, the data structure comprising: data collected from a first on-vehicle apparatus mounted on the vehicle, wherein the collected data is associated with information related to travel of the vehicle obtained from a second on-vehicle apparatus different from the first on-vehicle apparatus. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The data structure according to claim 10, wherein the information related to travel of the vehicle is a total travel distance of the vehicle, and the total travel distance of the vehicle is embedded into a part of a file name of the collected data. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The data structure according to claim 10, wherein the collected data includes at least one of an image of a vicinity of the vehicle taken by a camera mounted on the vehicle, and data recorded in accordance with occurrence of a predetermined event. ### Claim 13 (depends on 2) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 2, wherein the information related to travel of the vehicle is a total travel distance of the vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 13, wherein the storage processing section embeds the total travel distance of the vehicle into a part of a file name of the target data. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 13, wherein the first apparatus deletes, from the record region, the target data collected by the data collection section. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The on-vehicle data management device according to claim 14, wherein the first apparatus deletes, from the record region, the target data collected by the data collection section. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The data structure according to claim 11, wherein the collected data includes at least one of an image of a vicinity of the vehicle taken by a camera mounted on the vehicle, and data recorded in accordance with occurrence of a predetermined event.
