  • Patent number: 11887334
    Abstract: The in-vehicle device transfers the selected image selected by the user from the photographed images stored in the storage device and the selected vehicle state, which is the vehicle state when the selected image is captured, to the form terminal. The portable device transmits the selected image and the selected vehicle state to the image management server only when the transmission is permitted by the user. The image management server determines whether or not the selected image is a rare image using the selected image and the selected vehicle state, and stores the selected image in the image storage device when the selected image is determined to be a rare image.

  • Patent number: 9662989
    Abstract: A fault diagnostic device of a vehicle includes a starting circuit which causes a charger mounted on the vehicle to output a charging start signal and thereby activate a control unit for controlling charging of a battery mounted on the vehicle when a charging gun is connected to the charger. The control unit causes the charger to output the charging start signal when the charger is activated in response to turning on of an ignition switch, and has a fault determination function whereby, if the control unit is not input with the charging start signal, it is judged that a disconnection or power-supply short circuit has occurred in a charging start signal circuit of the starting circuit.
