Abstract

A car A/V 4 has the function of freely setting conditions for acquiring data pertaining to information related to an operation condition obtained from an in-vehicle sensor of a mobile body and run environment information surrounding the mobile body. The car A/V 4 stores in-vehicle sensor data in accordance with set condition(s) for acquiring data. The in-vehicle sensor data stored in memory A of main controller 17, the navigation data stored in a second memory B, and car window photograph data stored in a third memory C of a car A/V 4 are converted into a data block for each mutually identical time identifier. The converted data block is transmitted to a controller C25 by an operation of the main controller 17. The transmitted data block is stored one by one in a hard disk 30 for each data block by an operation of controller C25.

Claims

1. A service provision system, at least comprising:

a portable information equipment being communicable with a car audio/video apparatus (A/V) equipped in a mobile body and having a storage medium accumulating information related to information of a run environment surrounding the mobile body; and

a service provision entity providing a service including a diagnosis of the mobile body based on the information accumulated on the storage medium of the portable information equipment, wherein

a car navigation system included in the car A/V provides the portable information equipment with position information as information of a run environment surrounding the mobile body,

the portable information equipment has a built-in camera which photographs a vehicle window picture as information of a run environment surrounding the mobile body, and

the storage medium stores the position information and the vehicle window picture together.

2. The service provision system according to claim 1, wherein

said car A/V comprises a data setup unit for setting a data acquisition condition of an in-vehicle sensor, wherein

said data setup unit performs a vehicle window picture setup related to a photographing condition of said built-in camera of said portable information equipment.

3. The service provision system according to claim 2, wherein

said data setup table storing a condition set by said data setup unit is comprised of nonvolatile memory.

4. The service provision system according to claim 1, wherein

said information related to information of a run environment of said mobile body is stored on a specific partition zone divided into a hard disk of said car navigation system.

5. The service provision system according to claim 4, wherein

said information related to said information of said run environment accumulated on said hard disk is sent to said portable information equipment.

6. The service provision system according to claim 1, wherein

said car navigation system comprises a navigator transmission unit, wherein

said navigator transmission unit controls navigator array data, adds a data identifier to each element of array data, further adds time of obtaining data in a set time interval to the head or tail end of the array data and stores the resultant in memory within the data transmission unit.

7. The service provision system according to claim 2, wherein

said car A/V makes it possible to handle said acquisition condition of said data setup unit in a display unit of said car navigation system.

8. The service provision system according to claim 7, wherein

said car A/V comprises a main controller, wherein

said main controller temporarily stores a run environment condition information which includes said time identifier and converts it to a data block for each mutually identical time identifier.

9. The service provision system according to claim 8, wherein

said main controller controls transmission and reception to and from said mobile body, and also controls transmission and reception to and from said portable information equipment.

10. A car audio/video apparatus (A/V), comprising:

a car navigation system for obtaining position information;

a main controller for controlling transmission(s) and reception to and from a mobile body and also controlling transmission and reception to and from a portable information equipment; and

a memory for storing a vehicle window picture photographed by a built-in camera in the portable information equipment and the position information together.

11. The car A/V according to claim 10, wherein

said main controller temporarily stores position information which includes a time identifier, vehicle window picture information photographed by a built-in camera of said portable information equipment and information related to said operating condition obtained from said in-vehicle sensor equipped in said mobile body, converts them into a data block for each mutually identical time identifier.

12. A portable information equipment being communicable with a car audio/video apparatus (A/V) equipped in a mobile body and comprising a storage medium accumulating information related to information of a run environment surrounding the mobile body, comprising

a camera, wherein

said camera photographs a vehicle window picture as information of said run environment surrounding said mobile body and provides the vehicle window picture,

a car navigation system included in said car A/V provides position information as information of said run environment surrounding said mobile body, and

said storage medium stores said position information and said vehicle window picture together.
