Therefore, the present invention can be implemented in various modes by selecting any one of these functional blocks. In addition, the function part which performs each function in the figure can also be said to be a means which performs each function.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, only the various functional units necessary for carrying out the present invention are shown in the conventional navigation apparatus. For example, the map display function on the monitor is not shown. Various function parts such as a guidance route guidance function are provided. The emergency evacuation mode operation instruction unit 1 for setting the operation mode for transmitting vehicle information at the time of emergency evacuation according to the present invention is provided, and when the automatic operation instruction unit 2 is set, a disaster taken in from the outside as described later The operation of the present invention is automatically performed according to information or the like.

  Further, in the manual operation instructing unit 3, the user manually forces the automatic instructing unit 2 when the automatic instructing unit 2 is not set to invite in the automatic mode or in such a state that the automatic operation is not performed even if the automatic mode is set. Emergency evacuation own vehicle information transmission operation is performed when it is activated automatically. In the operation stop unit 4, after the series of operations according to the present invention is performed, the mode is canceled by inputting a personal identification number or the like in order to cancel the emergency evacuation mode. In response to an instruction from the emergency evacuation mode operation instruction unit 1, the various functional units of the present invention are operated and the operation is ended.

  The key removal warning processing unit 5 detects whether the key insertion / removal detection unit 6 has pulled out or inserted the accessory switch for the vehicle and the key for starting and stopping the engine. The key removal warning output unit 7 does not remove the key when it is detected that the engine key has been removed automatically when the emergency evacuation mode operation instruction unit 1 instructs the operation automatically or manually. A warning is output by a beep sound, a display on a monitor as shown in FIG. 7, for example, and voice guidance having the same purpose.

  The engine operation detection unit 8 detects the state of a key for starting and stopping the engine, the engine start detection unit 9 detects that the key is in the ON position, and the engine stop detection unit 10 is OFF. Or it detects that it is in an accessory switch position. When the engine start is detected by the engine start detection unit 8, it is output to an emergency evacuation vehicle information processing unit 35, which will be described later, and the information is transmitted to a mobile phone such as a driver that the engine has started after an emergency evacuation. Make it possible. When the engine stop detection unit 10 detects engine stop, the parking position determination unit 25 determines that the vehicle is parked, and performs position determination processing as will be described later.

  The current position detection unit 11 detects the current position of the vehicle by a signal from a GPS receiver 12 or the like provided as a normal function of the navigation device, and makes it available to various function units. The vehicle movement detection unit 13 sequentially stores signals from the current position detection unit 11 to detect that the vehicle has moved and a movement locus as the movement route. The detection result is used as data to be transmitted to the mobile phone 34 in the emergency evacuation vehicle information processing unit 35 in the example of FIG.

In the disaster information receiving unit 14, for example, disaster information such as earthquake information broadcast from a radio or television is received by the communication unit 18. In that case, for example, disaster information can be received and captured by traffic information such as VICS (registered trademark) or by information from an information providing center for various vehicles. Among them, the emergency evacuation area information receiving unit 15 takes in the information of the area instructed to perform emergency evacuation from the received disaster information, and outputs it to the parking position determination unit 25 described later, Data for determining whether the parking position of the vehicle exists in the area.

  The map data capturing unit 17 captures necessary map data from the map database 18 that is normally provided in the navigation device and makes it usable. In the example of FIG. 1, the parking position determination unit 25 uses this data to determine whether or not the current position is within the emergency evacuation area, and the emergency evacuation vehicle information processing unit 35 transmits the data to the mobile phone 34. It is also used as map data for vehicle movement information. The in-vehicle camera image capturing unit 19 captures an image of the camera 20 that specifically captures the driver in the vehicle and enables the vehicle information processing unit 35 to transmit this to the mobile phone 34 during emergency evacuation.

  The emergency evacuation vehicle information transmission telephone number registration unit 21 registers a telephone number of a mobile phone 34 or the like that transmits vehicle information formed by the emergency evacuation vehicle information processing unit 35, as will be described later. In the communication connection mobile phone detection unit 22, a mobile phone brought into the vehicle by a driver or the like has a communication function capable of communicating with each other, such as Bluetooth, and automatically communicates with this navigation device having the same function. When the device takes in the mobile phone number information, the mobile phone is automatically registered as a mobile phone that receives vehicle information during emergency evacuation. This operation can be automatically registered by detecting the telephone number when the automatic operation instructing unit 2 operates in the automatic mode as described above, and the driver performs a special operation. Even without this, a series of operations can be performed.

  The registration screen output unit 23 outputs a predetermined screen as shown in FIG. 6A, for example, when registering a telephone number for transmitting vehicle information in an emergency as an initial setting of the navigation device in advance. To do. Further, when such registration is not performed and automatic registration by Bluetooth or the like is not performed, when the emergency evacuation mode operation instruction unit 1 instructs to start the operation, the telephone number Output a similar registration screen for registering. Note that FIG. 6B shows an example when a telephone registered in advance is displayed in order to confirm whether or not this is still acceptable. With such a screen, the manual input registration unit 24 registers the mobile phone number.

  When the parking position determination unit 25 operates in the automatic mode as described above in response to an instruction from the automatic operation instruction unit 2, when the disaster information is received by the disaster information reception unit 14, the engine operation detection unit 8 starts the engine. When it is detected that the vehicle has stopped, it is determined that the vehicle has been parked for emergency evacuation, and the current position at that time is determined. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the emergency evacuation area parking detector 26 detects the current position detector 11 based on the emergency evacuation area information 15 in the information received by the disaster information receiver 14 as described above. It is detected whether or not the present location is present in the emergency evacuation area based on the map data taken in by the map data fetching unit 17.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the parking position determination unit 25 further performs various parking position determination processing. In the emergency parking estimation unit 27, the road parking detection unit 28 therein includes After detecting the occurrence of a disaster, it is detected by the data of the current position detection unit 11 and the map data acquired by the map data acquisition unit 17 that the currently parked position is on a road where there is no parking facility on the roadside. Sometimes it detects that it is currently parked on the street and estimates that it is parked on the street for emergency.

  When the emergency parking estimation unit 27 detects that the road has been parked on the road in the event of a disaster as described above, and further detects that there is no facility that is likely to be a destination in the surrounding area, It may be determined that the road is urgently parked due to a disaster. When the parking position accumulation data 30 for accumulating data on the position where the vehicle is parked on a daily basis exists in the navigation device, the regular parking lot detection unit 29 reads the data, and the currently parked position is, for example, a parking lot at home When it is detected that the parking lot is regularly used, such as a parking lot at work, even when the automatic operation instruction unit 2 operates in the automatic mode as described above, Used as data for determining that processing is not necessary.

  The vehicle impact detection unit 31 uses an impact detection sensor such as an acceleration sensor provided in the vehicle to detect when an impact is applied to the vehicle after the driver evacuates from the vehicle when a disaster occurs. Based on the detection result, the vehicle damage estimator 32 estimates the state of vehicle damage based on data input in advance according to the position of the vehicle to which the impact was applied, the direction of the impact, the degree of the impact, and the like.

  Thus, when an impact is detected from the rear of the vehicle, it is estimated that a rear-end collision has occurred, and it is estimated that there is no problem in driving the vehicle from the degree of the impact. Further, when a large impact from the front is detected, it is estimated that there was a large damage including the engine, and it is estimated that a tow truck movement or the like is necessary. This information is output to an emergency evacuation vehicle information processing section 35, which will be described later, and is used as one of transmission data to the mobile phone 34. In addition, the fuel remaining amount detection unit 33 detects the current fuel remaining amount of the vehicle, and the emergency evacuation vehicle information processing unit 35 can transmit this to the driver's mobile phone or the like.

  The emergency evacuation vehicle information processing unit 35 processes various types of vehicle information when the driver is leaving the vehicle for emergency evacuation. As one of the processes, the emergency evacuation mode operating display unit 36 is provided, and when another person tries to move the vehicle after the driver evacuates with the key inserted as described above, for example, FIG. Warning display as shown in As a result, when the person trying to take this car off starts the engine, this display shows that the movement of the car is being monitored, so that the car can be prevented from moving easily. It will be useful for preventing theft of people.

  The communication unit 36 transmits various subsequent vehicle information to the telephone registered in the emergency evacuation vehicle information transmission telephone number registration unit 21 such as the driver's mobile phone during emergency evacuation of the driver or the like. In the example of FIG. 1, necessary information is transmitted among various information shown as the transmission vehicle information 38. As the vehicle information 38 for transmission shown in FIG. 1, vehicle movement information 39 that is information that the vehicle has moved can be transmitted.

  As the vehicle movement information 39 at this time, information on the current vehicle position 40 can be transmitted as minimum information. This can be obtained from the data of the current position detecting unit 11 and the map data from the map data capturing unit 17. The vehicle movement trajectory 41 can be transmitted to the mobile phone after the emergency evacuation based on the vehicle movement data detected by the vehicle movement detection unit 13.

  As information transmitted from the communication unit 37 to the mobile phone, the vehicle damage information 42 captured from the vehicle damage estimation unit 32 can also be transmitted. Further, the present fuel remaining amount 43 of the vehicle detected by the fuel remaining amount detecting unit 33 can be transmitted. Further, when the camera 20 for photographing the inside of the vehicle is provided, the image can be captured and transmitted to the mobile phone as the in-vehicle camera image 44. In addition, although the example which used the mobile telephone as a telephone which receives vehicle information was shown in FIG. 1, it was equipped with the function similar to the mobile telephone which has been widely used in recent years, or more functions. A landline telephone can also be used.

  A navigation system including functional blocks as shown in FIG. 1 can be implemented by, for example, an operation flow as shown in FIG. In the example of vehicle information processing at the time of emergency evacuation shown in FIG. 2, it is first determined whether or not the system is in an automatic mode in which the system automatically operates (step S1). That is, in the operation of the vehicle information processing at the time of emergency evacuation in the present invention, there is no manual operation mode in which a user such as a driver manually starts the operation by judging the surrounding situation, and there is no instruction by such a user. There is an automatic mode that is set in advance so that the vehicle can also be operated. Here, it is determined whether or not at least the current vehicle is set to operate in the automatic mode. This operation is performed by detecting whether or not the automatic operation instruction 2 is made in the emergency evacuation mode operation instruction unit 1 of FIG.

  When it is determined that the current automatic mode is set, it is determined whether or not disaster information has been received (step S2). This operation is performed by the disaster information receiving unit 1 in FIG. 1 by receiving disaster information on radio or television, or by receiving disaster information from an information center that provides traffic information and various information to vehicles. The disaster information includes, for example, the epicenter of the earthquake, the magnitude of the earthquake, the seismic intensity of each place, and information on the area where emergency evacuation should be performed if the earthquake is a severe earthquake.

  When it is determined in step S2 that disaster information has been received, the current position is acquired (step S3), and then it is determined whether or not the current vehicle is in an emergency evacuation area in the disaster information (step S4). The determination is performed by specifying the range of the emergency evacuation area from the map data from the map data capturing unit 17 of FIG. 1 and detecting whether or not the current position is within the range.

  When it is determined in step S4 that the current position is within the emergency evacuation area, it is determined whether or not the engine is stopped (step S5). If it is determined that the engine has not yet been stopped, the process returns to step S1 and the above operation is repeated. At that time, when the automatic mode is set to determine whether or not the automatic mode is set, it is determined that the disaster information has already been received in step S2, and a new current position is acquired by moving the vehicle in step S3. In step S4, it is determined whether the current position is still within the emergency evacuation area, and if it is in the area, the operation of determining whether the engine is stopped again in step S5 is continued.

  As described above, when it is determined in step S4 that the own vehicle is present in the emergency evacuation area in the current disaster information, if it is determined that the engine is stopped in step S5, the parking position is determined in step S6 in the example of FIG. Determines whether the vehicle is on the road. That is, in the example of FIG. 1, when the emergency evacuation mode is automatically entered and the engine stops, it is determined that the vehicle is parked, and it is determined whether or not the parking position is on the road.

  If it is determined in step S6 that the parking position is not on the road, it is then determined whether or not the parking position is a normally used parking lot. In this determination, it can be estimated as a regular parking lot such as a parking lot at a house or a parking lot at a work place by the permanent parking lot detection unit 29 in the emergency parking estimation unit 27 in FIG.

  When it is determined in step S7 that the current parking position is a parking lot that is normally used as described above, the process proceeds to step S14 and the process is terminated. This end process is the same as step S50 in FIG. That is, in the example of FIG. 2, when the currently parked position is a parking lot that is normally used, the processing is started in the automatic mode in step S2 as described above, and the engine is operated even after each processing is performed. When the parking lot is normally used at the time of stopping, there is no need to perform subsequent key removal warning processing, door lock release maintenance operation, vehicle information transmission processing after driver emergency evacuation, etc. .

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1 that the vehicle is not in the automatic mode, and when it is determined in step S2 that disaster information has not been received, and in step S4, the host vehicle is within the emergency evacuation area in the current disaster information. When it is determined that there is no, the process proceeds to step S12 to determine whether or not the user has set the emergency evacuation mode. If it is determined that the user has not set the emergency evacuation mode, the process returns to step S1 and the above operation is repeated.

 As a result of this processing, even if it is determined in step S1 that the operation mode is automatically set in advance, when disaster information cannot be received in step S2, the user performs various operations during emergency evacuation. When it is determined to start, the process can be started in the manual mode. Further, even when the disaster information is received, if the current position is not in the emergency evacuation area or the determination cannot be made, various processing at the time of emergency evacuation can be performed at the user's judgment in step S12.

  When it is determined in step S12 that the user has set the emergency evacuation mode, it is determined whether or not the engine is stopped as in step S6 (step S13), and when it is determined that the engine has not been stopped yet, step Returning to S1, confirm the subsequent mode change and continue the operation.

  In step S6 during operation in the automatic mode, when it is determined that the parking position is on the road, and when it is determined that the parking position is not a parking lot that is normally used, it is not shown in FIG. When it is determined that there is no facility or the like that will be the destination in particular around the parking position, and when the engine is stopped when operating in the manual mode, the process goes to step S8. Then, registration confirmation processing of the vehicle information transmission destination telephone as shown in FIG. 3 is performed.

  Thereafter, a key removal warning process as shown in FIG. 4 is performed (step S9), and then the door lock release maintaining operation is performed so as not to perform the door lock (step S10). Accordingly, in step S9, a key removal warning is given to warn the user to leave the vehicle with the key inserted, and at that time, the door is locked so that the rescue team can move the vehicle. Preventing people from getting into the car. After that, vehicle information transmission processing after driver emergency evacuation as shown in FIG. 5 is performed (step S11), and the series of processing ends.

  When performing the vehicle information transmission destination mobile phone registration confirmation process in step S8 of FIG. 2, for example, the process shown in FIG. 3 is performed. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 3, it is first determined whether or not the user-owned mobile phone and the navigation device are connected so that automatic communication is possible (step S21). Here, when the navigation device mounted on the vehicle and the mobile phone brought into the vehicle by the driver or the like are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other by a communication function such as Bluetooth, the process proceeds to step S29, and the mobile phone Shows an example of preferential registration as a telephone with the highest certainty as an information transmission destination.

  When it is determined in step S21 that the mobile phone possessed by the user and the navigation device are not connected so that automatic communication is possible, it is determined in step S22 whether or not a vehicle information receiving telephone is registered. For this reason, in this navigation device, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 6A is displayed as an initial setting in advance, and a telephone number such as a mobile phone that transmits vehicle information during emergency evacuation is entered and registered. deep. The phone registered here is often a mobile phone as described above, but other than that, it has the same function as a mobile phone, which has been widely used in recent years, and also the same as a personal computer. It is also possible to register a fixed-line telephone having a large-capacity communication data storage function.

  When a specific telephone is registered as an emergency contact in this way, in the example of FIG. 3, in step S23, a screen for confirming whether or not this is really appropriate for the registered telephone is displayed and registered. When it is determined that a telephone other than the telephone is appropriate, a new telephone number is entered and registered on the screen. In that case, for example, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the phone number registered in advance is displayed, and when it is determined that the other phone is more appropriate, the phone number that seems to be appropriate at that time Is entered on this screen and registered by a confirmation operation. In addition, when it confirms without inputting a new telephone number here, the telephone registered beforehand will be used as it is.

  In the above example, even if the contact information at the time of emergency evacuation is registered in advance, considering that the registration is old data several years ago, the current vehicle In this example, the mobile phone brought in is given the highest priority, and a confirmation is made as to whether the previously registered phone is acceptable. It is also possible to automatically register a mobile phone brought into the vehicle when not performing the check. In that case, it is not necessary to output the confirmation screen of the registered telephone.

  In the example of FIG. 3, after displaying the screen for confirming the registered mobile talk in step S23, it is determined whether or not a new telephone number has been input in step S24. The registered telephone is used as a vehicle information receiving telephone. When a new telephone number is input, the input telephone number is registered as a vehicle information receiving telephone (step S25).

  When it is determined in step S22 that the vehicle information receiving telephone is not registered, in step S26, for example, a vehicle information receiving telephone registration screen as shown in FIG. The telephone number of the receiving telephone is input (step S27). By confirming this input, the input telephone number is registered as a vehicle information receiving telephone (step S25). These operations are performed in the emergency evacuation vehicle information transmission telephone number registration unit 21 in FIG.

  After the vehicle information transmission destination mobile phone is registered as described above, a key extraction warning process as shown in FIG. 4 is performed in step S30. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the key removal warning process in step S9 of FIG. 2 determines whether or not the key is first removed (step S31). When it is determined that the key has been removed, in step S32, for example, FIG. Warning output is made so as not to remove the key because of the emergency evacuation mode as shown in.

  With such a screen display, the user notices that the key should not be extracted and inserts the key (step S33). After performing such a key removal warning process, the process proceeds to step S10 in FIG. 2 to perform the door lock release maintaining operation as described above, and then to transmit vehicle information after the driver's emergency evacuation as shown in FIG. Process.

  In the example of the vehicle information transmission process after the driver's emergency evacuation shown in FIG. 5, it is first determined whether or not a predetermined impact or more has been applied to the vehicle (step S41). If it is determined that a predetermined or more impact has been applied, the vehicle damage state is estimated (step S42).

  Here, an XYZ-axis three-dimensional acceleration sensor or the like provided on the vehicle is used, and a predetermined impact or more on the vehicle is applied, for example, from the rear of the vehicle, from the front, from the left or right side, and from the upper side of the vehicle. And the degree of the impact are measured, and the state of vehicle damage due to the impact is estimated based on the data inputted in advance. These operations are performed by the vehicle damage estimation unit 32 estimating the degree of damage to the vehicle based on the detection data of the vehicle impact detection unit 31 of FIG.

  Thereafter, when it is determined in step S41 that the vehicle does not receive a predetermined impact or more, the process proceeds to step S43 to determine whether or not the engine has been started. When it is determined that the engine has been started, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, it is displayed to the monitor that the emergency evacuation mode is in progress and vehicle movement information is transmitted to the owner or driver of the vehicle. (Step S44). If it is determined in step S43 that the engine has not been started, the process returns to step S41 to repeat the operation of detecting the impact on the vehicle.

  After the display as shown in FIG. 8 is performed in step S44, it is determined whether or not the vehicle has moved (step S45). When it is determined that the vehicle has moved, the vehicle information is transmitted to the registered telephone (step S46). Various types of vehicle information to be transmitted at this time can be transmitted, but various types of information can be transmitted as shown in the transmission vehicle information 38 of FIG. However, at the time of actual use, it is assumed that the current position of the vehicle is transmitted at a minimum, and any desired one can be selected and transmitted thereafter.

  Vehicle information to be transmitted to the registered mobile phone shown in FIG. 5 includes vehicle movement information 461 such as the current position of the vehicle and the movement trajectory of the vehicle, and vehicle damage information, as in the case of the transmission vehicle information 38 in FIG. An example is shown in which 462, a fuel remaining amount 463, a vehicle interior camera image 464, and the like are transmitted. As a result, users such as drivers of this vehicle who urgently evacuated due to the occurrence of disaster can know that the vehicle has moved by telephone and can know the state of movement, and the destination where the vehicle finally arrived and other Various vehicle information can also be known.

  FIG. 9 shows a display example on the cellular phone at this time, and various types of vehicle information as shown in FIG. 9 (a) and FIG. When selected, the current position and travel locus of the vehicle as shown in FIGS.

  As a result of such display, the vehicle can be easily taken to the place thereafter. At that time, it is possible to know that the vehicle is damaged and cannot move, and that the amount of fuel is low. In particular, when a camera-in-camera image is transmitted, it is effective as a vehicle theft countermeasure by notifying the police that the vehicle is about to be stolen, the criminal image, and the location where the vehicle is traveling.

  After performing the transmission process as described above in step S46, it is determined whether or not the engine has been stopped (step S47). When it is determined that the engine has not been stopped yet, the process returns to step S41 and the above operation is repeated. .
