First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a monitor that displays an image corresponding to a video signal obtained by a video camera attached to the vehicle;
a battery that provides power for the vehicle; and
circuitry configured todetect a battery remaining-amount of the battery of the vehicle,cause display of battery remaining-amount information of the battery of the vehicle on the monitor based on the detected battery remaining-amount,detect whether a transmission gear of the vehicle enters a reverse position,cause display of the image corresponding to the video signal on the monitor and output of first predetermined distance information associated with a first of a plurality of predetermined distance-based reference values responsive to detection of the transmission gear entering the reverse position, the first predetermined distance information being stored in memory of the vehicle, andcause output of second predetermined distance information associated with a second of the plurality of predetermined distance-based reference values based on movement of the vehicle, the second predetermined distance information being stored in the memory of the vehicle,wherein each of the first predetermined distance information and the second predetermined distance information is representative of a pre-set distance amount behind the vehicle,wherein the first predetermined distance information consists of a first portion and a second portion,wherein the second predetermined distance information consists of a third portion and a fourth portion, the fourth portion being the same as the second portion of the first predetermined distance information, and the third portion being different from the first portion of the first predetermined distance information, andwherein only one of the first predetermined distance information and the second predetermined distance information is output at a time.

Abstract
A feature extracting unit obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensors to calculate each feature. When an event determining unit determines the occurrence of an event based on each feature, a display data constructor generates remote-controller display data for displaying the event, and controls a remote-controller display device to display the remote-controller display data. When a user decision is input from a user input IF based on this display, a control unit controls the sensors to be turned ON or OFF. When an infrared sensor detects an abnormality, a microwave sensor whose power consumption is small after the infrared sensor is turned ON. When the microwave sensor detects an abnormality, a video camera and a microphone are turned ON, and the microwave sensor is turned OFF. A communication unit wirelessly transmits an image signal captured by the video camera and an audio signal processed by the microphone. Then, if the infrared sensor does not detect an abnormality, the video camera and the microphone are turned OFF. With this arrangement, power consumption can be suppressed. The present invention is applied to, for example, a security system, for example, for monitoring outside a vehicle by a video camera disposed in the vehicle when the vehicle is parked.

14. A method comprising:
-
detecting, using a processor, whether a transmission gear of a vehicle enters a reverse position; causing, using the processor, display of an image corresponding to a video signal obtained by a video camera attached to the vehicle on a display and output of first predetermined distance information associated with a first of a plurality of predetermined distance-based reference values responsive to said detecting that the transmission gear enters the reverse position, the first predetermined distance information being stored in memory of the vehicle; and outputting, using the processor, second predetermined distance information associated with a second of the plurality of predetermined distance-based reference values based on movement of the vehicle, the second predetermined distance information being stored in the memory of the vehicle, wherein the first predetermined distance information consists of a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second predetermined distance information consists of a third portion and a fourth portion, the fourth portion being the same as the second portion of the first predetermined distance information, and the third portion being different from the first portion of the first predetermined distance information, and wherein only one of the first predetermined distance information and the second predetermined distance information is output at a time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 32)
