Abstract

An electronic device includes a first acquisition part that acquires a first set speed set on the basis of a speed limit which is (i) recognized on the basis of an image of a sign of a road on which a vehicle is located, captured by an imaging part or (ii) identified from map information of the road; a second acquisition part that acquires a second set speed set by a user of the vehicle; and a notification control part that causes a notification part to provide a first notification when a vehicle speed exceeds the first set speed, and causes the notification part to provide a second notification which is distinguishable from the first notification when the vehicle speed exceeds the second set speed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a first acquisition part that acquires a first set speed set on the basis of a speed limit which is (i) recognized on the basis of an image of a sign of a road on which a vehicle is located, captured by an imaging part or (ii) identified from map information of the road; a second acquisition part that acquires a second set speed set arbitrarily by a user of the vehicle; and a notification control part that causes a notification part to provide a first notification when a speed of the vehicle exceeds the first set speed, and causes the notification part to provide a second notification which is distinguishable from the first notification when the speed exceeds the second set speed, wherein the first acquisition part updates the first set speed when the speed limit changes, and the notification control part causes the notification part to provide a third notification when the second set speed exceeds the first set speed updated by the first acquisition part.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first set speed is a set speed obtained by adding a predetermined speed to the speed limit.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a receiving part that receives one of a plurality of addition speeds as the predetermined speed, wherein
the first acquisition part acquires the first set speed obtained by adding the one addition speed received by the receiving part to the speed limit.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the notification part includes a display part that displays a first icon related to the speed limit and a second icon related to the second set speed on a screen, and
the notification control part changes a display mode of the first icon when the speed exceeds the first set speed, and changes a display mode of the second icon when the speed exceeds the second set speed.

5 . The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein
the notification control part flashes the first icon when the speed exceeds the first set speed and flashes the second icon when the speed exceeds the second set speed.

6 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the notification part includes a display part that displays a first icon related to the speed limit and a second icon related to the second set speed on a screen, and
the first icon and the second icon are displayed at positions apart from each other on the screen.

7 . The electronic device, according to claim 6 , wherein
the display part includes a display region for displaying speed information about the speed of the vehicle, and
the first icon and the second icon are positioned apart from each other so as to sandwich the display region on the screen.

8 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first acquisition part updates the first set speed every time the speed limit which is recognized on the basis of the image of the sign captured by the imaging part changes.

9 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first acquisition part updates the first set speed on the basis of the speed limit identified from the map information in a case where the speed limit identified from the map information changes after setting the first set speed on the basis of the speed limit recognized on the basis of the image of the sign captured by the imaging part.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second set speed is equal to or lower than the first set speed, and
the notification control part causes the notification part to provide the first notification when the speed exceeds the first set speed, and causes the notification part to provide the second notification when the speed exceeds the second set speed and does not exceed the first set speed.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second acquisition part updates the second set speed to a value equal to or lower than the first set speed when the second set speed exceeds the first set speed.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein
after updating the value of the second set speed, the second acquisition part changes the updated second set speed to an initial set speed which is initially set as the second set speed by the user, triggered by the fact that the first set speed is higher than the initial set speed before the update.

13 . A vehicle comprising:
the electronic device according to claim 1 ; and an imaging part that captures the sign of the road.

14 . A notification control method executed by a processor comprising:
acquiring a first set speed set on the basis of a speed limit which is (i) recognized on the basis of an image of a sign of a road on which a vehicle is located, captured by an imaging part or (ii) identified from map information of the road; acquiring a second set speed set arbitrarily by a user of the vehicle; and causing a notification part to provide a first notification when a speed of the vehicle exceeds the first set speed, and causing the notification part to provide a second notification which is distinguishable from the first notification when the speed exceeds the second set speed, wherein the first acquisition part updates the first set speed when the speed limit changes, and the notification control part causes the notification part to provide a third notification when the second set speed exceeds the first set speed updated by the first acquisition part.

15 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute:
acquiring a first acquisition part that acquires a first set speed set on the basis of a speed limit which is (i) recognized on the basis of an image of a sign of a road on which a vehicle is located, captured by an imaging part or (ii) identified from map information of the road; acquiring a second set speed set arbitrarily by a user of the vehicle; and causing a notification part to provide a first notification when a speed of the vehicle exceeds the first set speed, and causing the notification part to provide a second notification which is distinguishable from the first notification when the speed exceeds the second set speed, wherein the first acquisition part updates the first set speed when the speed limit changes, and the notification control part causes the notification part to provide a third notification when the second set speed exceeds the first set speed updated by the first acquisition part.
