Steps S601 to S603 and step S607 are the same as steps S301 to S303 and step S305 shown in FIG. 4, respectively, so description thereof will be omitted.

If it is determined in step S603 that the predetermined period has elapsed (Yes in step S603), the control unit 100A proceeds to step S604 and determines whether the current parking state is the first attribute (step S604). .

If it is determined to be the first attribute (Yes in step S604), the control unit 100A proceeds to step S605. On the other hand, if it is determined that the attribute is not the first attribute (No in step S604), the control unit 100A proceeds to step S606.

At step S605, the control unit 100A transmits the event recording data and the event detection information to other external devices (step S605). and. The controller 100A proceeds to step S607.

In step S606, the control unit 100A saves the event recording data in the recording unit 20, and transmits event detection information to other devices (step S606). Then, the control unit 100A proceeds to step S607.

As described above, in this embodiment, in the second parking record, the storage process of the event record data is switched depending on whether the parking state is the first attribute, for example, whether the parking position is a regular parking lot. be able to. Specifically, when the parking position is a regular parking position, the event record data and the event detection information are transmitted to the other device. When the parking position is not the regular parking position, the event recording data is saved in the recording unit 20, and the event detection information is transmitted to other devices. As a result, at a regular parking location such as at home, the user can appropriately respond to an event by checking other devices owned by the user. In addition, when the vehicle is parked in an emergency position, the event record data is recorded in the storage unit. can respond.
