Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a method for displaying vehicle driving conditions wherein provisions are made to identify, when playing back video information acquired by a drive recorder showing the actual field of vision of a driver, thereby making it possible to investigate, for example, how an accident or the like has occurred. More particularly, the invention provides a method for displaying vehicle driving conditions, including the steps of acquiring vehicle speed information and video information captured by a vehicle-mounted image capturing device, obtaining a field of vision angle based on the speed information, and displaying the video information along with a field of vision corresponding to the field of vision angle.

Claims

1. A method for displaying vehicle driving conditions, comprising the steps of:

acquiring vehicle speed information and video information captured by a vehicle-mounted image capturing device;

obtaining a field of vision angle based on said speed information; and

displaying said video information along with a field of vision corresponding to said field of vision angle.

2. The method for displaying vehicle driving conditions according to claim 1, wherein said speed information represents vehicle speed detected when said video information was acquired.

3. The method for displaying vehicle driving conditions according to claim 1, wherein said speed information provides a predetermined value.

4. The method for displaying vehicle driving conditions according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

obtained a corrected field of vision angle corrected according to age; and

displaying said video information along with a corrected field of vision corresponding to said corrected field of vision angle.

5. A method for displaying vehicle driving conditions, comprising the steps of:

acquiring a plurality of pieces of video information recorded by a vehicle-mounted drive recorder and vehicle operational information corresponding to each of said plurality of pieces of video information;

identifying, based on said vehicle operational information, a vehicle driving situation under which said video information was recorded;

displaying said plurality of pieces of video information related to each event by switching from one to another in sequence; and

displaying said vehicle driving situation identified for said displayed video information on the same screen as said video information.

6. The method for displaying vehicle driving conditions according to claim 5, wherein said vehicle driving situation is displayed in a superimposing fashion on said displayed video information.

7. A method for displaying vehicle driving conditions, comprising the steps of:

acquiring a plurality of pieces of video information recorded by a vehicle-mounted drive recorder and vehicle operational information corresponding to each of said plurality of pieces of video information;

identifying, based on said vehicle operational information, a vehicle driving situation under which said video information was recorded;

displaying said plurality of pieces of video information related to each event by playing back said video information; and

displaying said vehicle driving situation identified for said displayed video information on the same screen as said video information.

8. The method for displaying vehicle driving conditions according to claim 7, wherein said vehicle driving situation is displayed in a superimposing fashion on said displayed video information.
