RADAR MONITORING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A radar monitoring device that monitors a surrounding neighborhood of a vehicle using a radar unit comprising:
- a storage unit that stores radar prohibited areas, the radar prohibited areas being geographical areas in which an emission of a radar wave is prohibited;
a current position calculating unit that calculates a current position; and
a radar control unit that directs the radar unit to stop emission of a radar wave when the current position is located in one of the radar prohibited areas.

Abstract
When a vehicle moves into a radar prohibited area preset for the neighborhood of a facility that suffers adverse effects from radar waves, emission of radar waves is stopped, and a voice guidance such as “Radar monitoring is stopped” is sent to a speaker via a voice output unit. Moreover, during a period in which a vehicle is located in a radar prohibited area, an icon that indicates that a radar is being stopped, a mark that indicates an institution for which the radar prohibited area is set, and the scope of the radar prohibited area are displayed on a map image.

16. A radar unit control method for controlling, in a radar monitoring device that monitors neighborhood of a vehicle using a radar unit, operation of the radar unit, the method comprising:
-
calculating a current position; detecting, on the basis of radar prohibited areas that are geographical areas in which emission of a radar wave is prohibited and are stored in advance, whether the current position is located in one of the radar prohibited areas; and causing the radar unit to stop emission of a radar wave when the current position is located in one of the radar prohibited areas. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
