Surroundings exhibiting system and surroundings exhibiting method
First Claim
1. A surroundings exhibiting system for use in a transportation device, the surroundings exhibiting system comprising:
- an image capturing section arranged to capture a multi-directional image of the surroundings of the transportation device;
a display section arranged to display at least a portion of the multi-directional image captured by the image capturing section;
a door sensor arranged to detect at least one of unlocking a door, opening the door, and closing the door; and
an ignition instruction detection sensor arranged to detect an operator'"'"'s ignition instruction to the transportation device;
whereinthe image capturing section is arranged to capture an image in synchronization with the detection of the at least one of unlocking the door, opening the door, and closing the door; and
the display section is arranged to display the image captured by the image capturing section in synchronization with the ignition instruction to show the operator the surroundings of the transportation device in a stopped state.

Abstract
There is provided a system for showing a multi-directional image of surroundings of transportation device requiring a manual maneuver, when starting the transportation device in a parked state (stop state). The surroundings exhibiting system is constituted by an omnidirectional camera, an ignition instruction detection sensor, a control section including a CPU and a frame memory, and a liquid crystal panel. The omnidirectional camera captures an omnidirectional image of the surroundings around the transportation device in synchronization with a driver'"'"'s ignition instruction detected by the ignition instruction detection sensor. Further, the captured image data is temporally stored in the frame memory, and the stored image data is sequentially transmitted to the liquid crystal panel so as to be displayed thereon.
