On-vehicle video playback system and car navigation device
First Claim
1. An on-vehicle device which is placed in a vehicle and connected to an external image taking device via the Internet such that the on-vehicle device is able to communicate with the image taking device via the Internet, the external image taking device having a function of detecting an emergency at least within an area in which an image is captured and a call, and a function of transmitting an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification to a previously designated destination when an emergency or a call is detected, the on-vehicle device comprising:
- communication means for communicating with the image taking device via the Internet;
reception notification means for notifying a user that the communication means receives an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification from the image taking device;
display means for displaying a video image of video data received by the communication means from the image taking device;
vehicle'"'"'s stopped state detection means for detecting whether or not the vehicle is stopped; and
control means for checking the vehicle'"'"'s stopped state detection means to determine whether or not the vehicle is stopped when the communication means receives an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification from the image taking device, receiving video data from the image taking device via the communication means and causing the display means to display a video image of the video data if the vehicle is stopped, and notifying the user of an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification by the reception notification means if the vehicle is not stopped.

Abstract
An on-vehicle device 11, 21, 31, which is connected to an external image taking device 211 via the Internet so as to allow communication therebetween, includes a communication section 12, 112, a reception notification section 413, 115, 315, a display section 115, 315, a vehicle'"'"'s stopped state detection section 116, 117, 118, and a display control section 111. When the communication section receives an emergency (or call) detection notification from the image taking device, the display control section checks the vehicle'"'"'s stopped state detection section to determine whether or not a vehicle is stopped. If the vehicle is stopped, the display control section receives video data from the image taking device via the communication section for causing the display section to display a video image of the video data. Otherwise, the display control section notifies a user of an emergency (or call) detection notification via the reception notification section.

12. A remote monitoring system, in which an on-vehicle device placed in a vehicle and an external image taking device are connected via the Internet so as to allow communication therebetween, the system is capable of displaying an image captured by the image taking device by the on-vehicle device, wherein
the image taking device includes: -
an emergency or call detecting sensor for detecting an emergency at least within an area in which an image is captured or a call; and
transmitting means for transmitting an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification to a previously designated destination via the Internet when the emergency or call detecting sensor detects an emergency or a call, and the on-vehicle device includes;
communication means for performing communication with the image taking device via the Internet;
reception notification means for notifying a user that the communication means receives an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification from the image taking device;
display means for displaying video image data received by the communication means from the image taking device;
vehicle'"'"'s stopped state detection means for detecting whether or not the vehicle is stopped;
video image playback instruction input means for accepting an input of a video image playback instruction from the user; and
display control means for checking the vehicle'"'"'s stopped state detection means to determine whether or not the vehicle is stopped when the communication means receives an emergency detection notification or a call detection notification from the image taking device, receiving video data from the image taking device via the communication means and causing the display means to display a video image of the video data if the vehicle is stopped, and receiving video data from the image taking device via the communication means at least when a video image playback instruction is input from the video image playback instruction input means and causing the display means to display a video image of the video data if the vehicle is not stopped.
