First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- circuitry of a vehicle configured todetect a remaining amount of a battery of the vehicle in a non-charging state of the battery of the vehicle,determine whether the detected remaining amount of the battery of the vehicle in the non-charging state of the battery is less than a predetermined reference value, the predetermined reference value being less than a battery full amount value,supply battery remaining-amount information regarding the remaining amount of the battery of the vehicle in the non-charging state of the battery on condition that the remaining amount of the battery of the vehicle in the non-charging state of the battery is less than the predetermined reference value,switch communication receiving parties from a first communication terminal inside the vehicle to a second communication terminal external to the vehicle at a first location, andcause wireless transmission of the battery remaining-amount information regarding the vehicle in the non-charging state of the battery to the second communication terminal external to the vehicle at the first location, the second communication terminal being configured to wirelessly transmit the battery remaining-amount information regarding the vehicle in the non-charging state of the battery to a portable mobile communication terminal at a second location different from the first location.

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.

9. A method comprising:
-
detecting a remaining amount of a battery of a vehicle as an amount of the battery is decreasing, determining whether the detected remaining amount of the battery of the vehicle as the amount of the battery is decreasing is less than a predetermined reference value, the predetermined reference value being less than a battery full amount value, outputting, using a processor, battery remaining-amount information regarding the detected remaining amount of the battery of the vehicle responsive to the detected remaining amount of the battery of the vehicle being less than the predetermined reference value, switching communication receiving parties from a first communication terminal inside the vehicle to a second communication terminal external to the vehicle at a first location, and wirelessly transmitting the battery remaining-amount information to the first communication terminal external to the vehicle at the first location, the first communication terminal being configured to wirelessly transmit the battery remaining-amount information to a portable mobile communication terminal at a second location different from the first location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 19)
