  • Publication number: 20130007644
    Abstract: A GUI part selector 13, on the basis of background information received from a question controller 11 and GUI information retrieved from a GUI storage 14, generates background/GUI-related information, and generates an output determination table on the basis of the condition of the respondent as determined by a user determinator 15. The GUI parts selector 13, on the basis of the output determination table, selects GUI parts information used in the display of question information corresponding to the background information received by the question controller 11. An output screen generator 16 generates an output screen using the GUI parts information selected by the GUI part selector 13, and the question information received by the question controller 11 and transmits it to a respondent terminal 6.

  • Patent number: 8125530
    Abstract: An accident judgment device (105) judges whether or not an accident has occurred based on a detection signal of an impact sensor (104). Upon judging that an accident has occurred, an image saving device (106) extracts an image within several seconds before and after occurrence of the accident from a ring buffer (103) to save the same in a save memory (107). Upon judging that the accident has occurred, an image-record requesting device (108) transmits an image-recording request to a drive recorder (10) of target vehicles existing in the vicinity of the accident spot. Upon receiving the image-recording request, an image saving device (106) of the drive recorder (10) on the target vehicle extracts the image within several seconds before and after occurrence of the accident from the ring buffer (103) to save the same into the save memory (107).
