IN-VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM AND IN-VEHICLE MONITORING METHOD
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle monitoring system that comprises:
- a plurality of monitoring cameras and a plurality of emergency call devices mounted on a vehicle of a train;
a display unit that displays information transferred within the vehicle; and
an information control device that transmits imaging data from the monitoring cameras to the display unit, and that monitors inside of the vehicle by using images taken by the monitoring cameras, whereina table, in which an IP address of a same monitoring camera is stored in association with IP addresses of two or more emergency call devices and an IP address of a same emergency call device is stored in association with IP addresses of two or more monitoring cameras, is set in the information control device, andupon receiving a call signal from an operated emergency call device, the information control device specifies IP addresses of two or more monitoring cameras corresponding to an IP address of an emergency call device included in the call signal from IP addresses of the monitoring cameras by referring to the table, selects imaging data from monitoring cameras having specified IP addresses from pieces of imaging data from the monitoring cameras, and transmits selected imaging data to the display unit.

Abstract
An in-vehicle monitoring system including monitoring cameras and emergency call devices, a display unit, and an information control device, and monitoring inside of a vehicle by using images taken by the monitoring cameras, wherein a table, in which IP addresses of the emergency call devices and IP addresses of the monitoring cameras are stored in association with each other in a one-to-one relationship or a one-to-many relationship, is set in the information control device, and upon receiving a call signal from an operated emergency call device, the information control device specifies an IP address of a monitoring camera corresponding to the operated emergency call device from the IP addresses of the monitoring cameras based on the table, selects imaging data from the specified monitoring camera from pieces of imaging data from the monitoring cameras, and transmits it to the display unit.

6. An in-vehicle monitoring method executed in an in-vehicle monitoring system that comprises a plurality of monitoring cameras and a plurality of emergency call devices mounted on a vehicle of a train and a display unit that displays information transferred within the vehicle, and that monitors inside of the vehicle by using images taken by the monitoring cameras, the method comprising:
-
specifying, upon receiving a call signal from an operated emergency call device, IP addresses of two or more monitoring cameras corresponding to an IP address of an emergency call device included in the call signal from IP addresses of the monitoring cameras by referring to a table in which an IP address of a same monitoring camera is stored in association with IP addresses of two or more emergency call devices and an IP address of a same emergency call device is stored in association with IP addresses of two or more monitoring cameras; selecting, from pieces of imaging data from the monitoring cameras, imaging data transmitted from monitoring cameras having IP addresses specified at the specifying; and transmitting imaging data selected at the selecting to the display unit.

7. An in-vehicle monitoring method executed in an in-vehicle monitoring system that comprises a plurality of monitoring cameras and a plurality of emergency call devices mounted on a vehicle of a train and a display unit that displays information transferred within the vehicle, and that monitors inside of the vehicle by using images taken by the monitoring cameras, the method comprising:
-
transmitting imaging data to a multicast address corresponding to an IP address in a table, in which IP addresses of the monitoring cameras and multicast addresses are stored in association with each other, on a basis of the table; specifying, upon receiving a call signal from an operated emergency call device, a multicast address corresponding to an IP address of an emergency call device as a source of the call signal from a plurality of multicast addresses on a basis of a table in which an IP address of one emergency call device is stored in association with two or more multicast addresses and a multicast address associated with an IP address of one emergency call device is stored in association with another emergency call device; and transmitting imaging data in a multicast packet transmitted from a multicast address-specified at the specifying to the display unit.
