  As shown in FIG. 13, an example of processing in the drive recorders (2001) to (2005) will be described. First, when a user's automobile is used, user registration / authentication (S1300) is performed, and then a time measuring unit. While performing time measurement according to (1212) (S1301), a road outside the vehicle or a parking lot is photographed (S1302), and the photographed images are sequentially stored as road information (S1303). Then, the elapse of a predetermined time is detected (S1304), and a captured image as road information outside the vehicle is transmitted to the cloud (0001) side every predetermined time (S1305). In addition to such periodic automatic transmission, the presence / absence of a voluntary transmission command by the user is detected (S1306). If there is a voluntary transmission command, the captured image is sent to the cloud (0001) side at that time. Independent transmission is performed (S1307). In this case, the self-transmission is performed, for example, when the user thinks that it is necessary to notify other users by looking at an accident, reverse running vehicle, falling object, snow cover, or the like while driving.

Also, the presence or absence of a notification of voluntary transmission by another user from the cloud (0001) side is detected (S1308), and when a voluntary transmission notification is received, display and voice output are performed (S1309), and thereafter Then, the presence / absence of a transmission information acquisition command by the received user is detected (S1310), and if there is an acquisition command, a request for road information or the like related to voluntary transmission is made to the cloud (0001) side (S1311). Thereafter, transmission of the requested road information or the like on the cloud (0001) side is detected (S1312). When there is a transmission, the road information or the like is received (S1313), and the received road information or the like is reproduced. (S1314). In such processing, the processing from the detection of the road information acquisition command to the cloud (0001) side (S1310) to the final reproduction of the road information etc. (S1314) is the case of independent transmission by the other user. Not only that, but also when the user wants to know the snowfall situation and traffic jam situation in the area where he / she intends to go by car, road information and the like are provided by the same processing.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14, an example of processing in the cloud (0001) will be described. First, user registration / authentication processing (S1400) is performed, and then road information is obtained from the drive recorders (2001) to (2005). Whether or not there is transmission is detected (S1401), and when road information is transmitted, this is stored for each predetermined area (S1402). At this time, it is determined whether the transmission of the road information is a periodic automatic transmission or an arbitrary voluntary transmission from the user (S1403). A notification is sent to the drive recorders (2001) to (2005) of other users who travel in the area and the surrounding areas to notify that there has been voluntary transmission (S1404). Thereafter, a request for transmission of road information or the like related to the independent transmission is detected from another user (S1405). If there is a transmission request, road information or the like of the area related to the independent transmission is transmitted (S1406). . At this time, if the self-transmitted road information, etc. is information that requires urgent information, such as an accident occurrence image, a reverse vehicle image on a highway, or an image of a fallen object, the other user who received this information By looking at this, it is possible to respond safely. In addition, even if it is not the said voluntary transmission report, road information is also transmitted when there is an arbitrary request for transmission of road information from the user.

  In addition, when there is the above-described independent transmission and the other user receives the road information or the like, a predetermined point is given to the user of the transmission source (S1407).

  In addition, the processing for the analysis request from the operation terminal (2007) (2008) described later will be described. First, the presence / absence of the analysis request is detected (S1408), and if there is an analysis request, the analysis request is handled. The predetermined analysis is performed (S1409), and the analysis result is transmitted to the operation terminal (2007) (2008) (S1410).

  The traveling speed, acceleration / deceleration, and traveling route of the car owned by the user are sequentially transmitted to the cloud (0001) side via GPS, and these data are stored in the data storage unit (3006) as traveling related information. To go.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15, an example of processing in the operation terminal will be described. First, an analysis reception of an accident occurrence history, a travel route history, a travel speed history, etc. is detected (S1501), and the cloud (0001) is received after the reception. An analysis request is made to the side (S1502). Then, the transmission of the analysis result from the cloud (0001) is detected (S1503), and if there is a transmission, it is received (S1504). Thereafter, the received analysis result is displayed (S1505), and thereafter, an analysis result storage command is detected (S1506), and when there is a command, the analysis result is stored (S1507).

  As a specific example of the analysis, a case in which big data of road information and travel related information accumulated in the data storage unit (3006) is used will be described.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the accident occurrence history in an area is analyzed, and as a result, if it is found that there are many accidents t at a certain point P, the local government managing the road or public security The committee (both users) knows that it is necessary to take measures to prevent accidents at this accident-prone point P, and installs new traffic lights at this point P or installs signs to alert the driver. Can be taken.

Also, as shown in FIG. 17, if the driving history r of an automobile in an area is analyzed, a route R2 having a small traffic volume in the area and a route R2 having a small traffic volume can be grasped. The section can review tourist spots based on the results of this analysis, and it is an important guideline for opening a store in a company (user) that develops a convenience store. It can also be used by national, local government and highway companies to formulate new road plans and bypass improvements.

For sharing road information among users, in addition to emergency information such as accident information, snow information on roads in a certain area, image information indicating the crowded shopping center and the roundabout in front of the station, etc. are provided. The

  According to the road information operation system using the drive recorder of the present invention, road information and travel-related information are periodically and arbitrarily transmitted to and stored in the data center from the drive recorder mounted on the user's automobile as a member. Can be used as needed, and companies, countries, and local governments can analyze and use the road information as big data, so it can be used in a wide range of fields such as tourism, road network development, and marketing. Expected to be used in the field.
