Abstract

A method of processing a continuously recorded image, with the use of a computer, comprising the steps of: judging whether a continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval, and storing the continuously recorded image as a data file when the continuously recorded image is stored at a certain interval.

Claims

1. A method of processing a continuously recorded image, with the use of a computer, comprising the steps of:

judging whether a continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval, and

storing the continuously recorded image as a data file when the continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein a certain interval corresponds to an activation time of the vehicle.

3. A method of processing a continuously recorded image, with the use of a computer, comprising the steps of:

extracting events of a continuously recorded image recorded by a vehicle-mounted device, and

making a list of the events.

4. The method according to claim 3, further comprising the step of:

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one of the event in the list of the events.

5. The method according to claim 3, further comprising the steps of:

making a time chart on which the events are marked, and

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the marks of the event.

6. The method according to claim 3, further comprising the steps of:

making a map on which the events are marked, and

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the marks of the event.

7. The method according to claim 3, further comprising the steps of:

making a list of values of G above a predetermined value detected when the image is continuously recorded, and

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the values of G.

8. The method according to claim 3, further comprising the steps of:

reproducing the continuously recorded image,

temporarily pausing the continuously recorded image,

specifying a range between a point of time before a first time length form the temporary pause and a point of time after a second time length from the temporary pause, and

saving the continuously recorded image included in the specified range.

9. A computer-readable medium for processing a continuously recorded image, with the use of a computer, comprising the steps of:

judging whether a continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval, and

storing the continuously recorded image as a data file when the continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval.

10. The medium according to claim 9, wherein a certain interval corresponds to an activation time of the vehicle.

11. A computer-readable medium for processing a continuously recorded image, with the use of a computer, comprising the steps of:

extracting events of a continuously recorded image recorded by a vehicle-mounted device, and

making a list of the events.

12. The medium according to claim 11, further comprising the step of:

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one of the event in the list of the events.

13. The medium according to claim 11, further comprising the steps of:

making a time chart on which the events are marked, and

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the marks of the event.

14. The medium according to claim 11, further comprising the steps of:

making a map on which the events are marked, and

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the marks of the event.

15. The medium according to claim 11, further comprising the steps of:

making a list of values of G above a predetermined value detected when the image is continuously recorded, and

reproducing the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the values of G.

16. The medium according to claim 11, further comprising the steps of:

reproducing the continuously recorded image,

temporarily pausing the continuously recorded image,

specifying a range between a point of time before a first time length form the temporary pause and a point of time after a second time length from the temporary pause, and

saving the continuously recorded image included in the specified range.

17. A drive recorder comprising a computer for processing a continuously recorded image:

the computer judging whether a continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval, and storing the continuously recorded image as a data file when the continuously recorded image is recorded at a certain interval.

18. The computer according to claim 17, wherein a certain interval corresponds to an activation time of the vehicle.

19. A reproduction device comprising a computer for processing a continuously recorded image:

the computer extracting events of a continuously recorded image recorded by a vehicle-mounted device, and making a list of the events.

20. The reproduction device according to claim 19, wherein the computer reproduces the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one of the event in the list of the events.

21. The reproduction device according to claim 19, wherein the computer makes a time chart on which the events are marked, and reproduces the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the marks of the event.

22. The reproduction device according to claim 19, wherein the computer makes a map on which the events are marked, and reproduces the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the marks of the event.

23. The reproduction device according to claim 19, wherein the computer makes a list of values of G above a predetermined value detected when the image is continuously recorded, and reproduces the continuously recorded image at an image portion for an event recorded several seconds before the time of the occurrence of the selected event at the time of selecting one the values of G.

24. The reproduction device according to claim 19, wherein the computer reproduces the continuously recorded image, temporarily pauses the continuously recorded image, specifies a range between a point of time before a first time length form the temporary pause and a point of time after a second time length from the temporary pause, and saves the continuously recorded image included in the specified range.
