Warning system
First Claim
1. A warning system for use in a vehicle comprising:
- a detector that detects a driving operation that indicates a violation of a safety standard and outputs a detection signal that indicates the detection of the driving operation exceeding the safety standard (i.e., unsafe driving hereinafter);
an interface unit that is connected to the detector; and
an acquisition unit that repeatedly identifies a current position of the vehicle, acquires the detection signal output from the detector through the interface unit, and records location information (i.e., unsafe location information hereinafter) of the vehicle at a time of the unsafe driving based on an acquisition of the detection signal,wherein the acquisition unit provides a warning for a user based on a predetermined degree of closeness of the identified current position of the vehicle to a position indicated by a former record of the unsafe location information.

Abstract
A warning system warns a driver of a vehicle that a vehicle location in a record of previously detected drive operation that indicates a violation of a safety standard and a current position of the vehicle are determined to be within a predetermined distance from each other based on repeated detections of a current vehicle position by a detector and a detection of the drive operation that indicates the violation of the safety standard transmitted through an interface from a drive recorder. In this manner, the warning system for warning the driver lightens a process load of a unit that performs a position detection process and a unit that performs a record keeping process.
