Abstract

A recording device according to an embodiment includes an imaging data acquisition unit configured to acquire imaging data including video data and audio data, an event detection unit configured to detect occurrence of an event; and a recording control unit configured to record first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in a recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is caused by the event detected by the event detection unit, and record second imaging data including the video data and not including the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is not caused by the event.

Claims (20)

1. A recording device comprising:

an imaging data acquisition unit configured to acquire imaging data including video data and audio data imaging an inside of a vehicle or an outside of the vehicle to which the recording device is mounted;

an event detection unit configured to detect occurrence of an event for the vehicle;

a passenger detection unit configured to detect presence or absence of a passenger other than a driver in the vehicle; and

a recording control unit configured to record first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in a recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is caused by the event detected by the event detection unit and record the first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is not caused by the event and the passenger is not detected by the passenger detection unit, and record second imaging data including the video data and not including the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is not caused by the event and the passenger is detected by the passenger detection unit.

2. The recording device according to claim 1 , further comprising a buffer memory configured to temporarily store the imaging data acquired by the imaging data acquisition unit, wherein

the recording control unit is configured to

migrate the first imaging data obtained by not erasing the audio data from the imaging data to the recording unit when migrating the imaging data from the buffer memory to the recording unit is caused by the event detected by the event detection unit, and

migrate the second imaging data obtained by erasing the audio data from the imaging data to the recording unit when migrating the imaging data from the buffer memory to the recording unit is not caused by the event detected by the event detection unit.

3. The recording device according to claim 1 , wherein the recording control unit is configured to record the first imaging data in a recording unit as overwrite-prohibited data, and record the second imaging data in the recording unit as overwritable data.

4. A recording method in a recording device comprising:

acquiring imaging data including video data and audio data imaging an inside of a vehicle or an outside of the vehicle to which the recording device is mounted;

detecting occurrence of an event for the vehicle;

detecting, by a passenger detection unit, presence or absence of a passenger other than a driver in the vehicle; and

recording first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in a recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is caused by the event detected, recording the first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is not caused by the event and the passenger is not detected by the passenger detection unit, and recording second imaging data including the video data and not including the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data is not caused by the event and the passenger is detected by the passenger detection unit.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:

acquiring imaging data including video data and audio data imaging an inside of a vehicle or an outside of the vehicle to which a recording device is mounted;

detecting occurrence of an event for the vehicle;

detecting, by a passenger detection unit, presence or absence of a passenger other than a driver in the vehicle; and

recording first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in a recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is caused by the event detected, recording the first imaging data including the video data and the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data in the recording unit is not caused by the event and the passenger is not detected by the passenger detection unit, and recording second imaging data including the video data and not including the audio data in the recording unit when recording of the imaging data is not caused by the event and the passenger is detected by the passenger detection unit.
