Abstract

When a vehicle detects that it has been rendered in a prescribed state, the vehicle acquires prescribed state detection position data indicating a position where the vehicle is located when it detects the prescribed state and prescribed state detection time data indicating a time of the detection of the prescribed state. The vehicle sends, to a recording apparatus, a request message that contains the position data and the time data.

Claims

1. An image requesting apparatus, comprising:

state detecting section for detecting a state of a movable body;

position data acquiring section for acquiring position data indicating a position where the movable body is located when the state detecting section detects a prescribed state;

time data acquiring section for acquiring time data indicating a time when the state detecting section detects the prescribed state;

request message sending section for sending a request message that contains the position data and the time data to a recording apparatus.

2. The image requesting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the request message includes the message to save a recording data based on the position data and the time data.

3. A recorder system comprising plural recording apparatus provided with shooting section and an image requesting apparatus, wherein:

the image requesting apparatus comprises;

state detecting section for detecting a state of a movable body;

position data acquiring section for acquiring position data indicating a position where the movable body is located when the state detecting section detects a prescribed state;

time data acquiring section for acquiring time data indicating a time when the state detecting section detects the prescribed state; and

request message sending section for sending a request message that contains the position data and the time data to a recording apparatus;

each of the plural recording apparatus comprises;

receiving section for receiving the request message sent from the image requesting apparatus; and

saving section for saving image information that was taken by the shooting section when the request message is received by the receiving section.

4. The recorder system according to claim 3, wherein the request message includes message to save the image information based on the position data and the time data.

5. The recorder system according to claim 4, wherein each of the recording apparatus further comprises image information regularly acquiring section for regularly acquiring image information taken by the shooting section;

and

wherein the saving section selects, on the basis of the position data and the time data included in the request message, at least one piece of image information from pieces of image information that were taken regularly by the image information regularly acquiring section and saves the selected at least one piece of image information, when the request message is received by the receiving section.
