Accordingly, the control unit 11 continuously photographs the still image according to at least one of the manual mode, the automatic mode, and the event mode.

The control unit 11 determines that the continuous shooting button 42 has been automatically input at predetermined time intervals when the impact sensor 34 detects a predetermined amount of impact or more in the event mode, And outputs a control signal such that the still images are alternately photographed at predetermined time intervals.

The operation of the continuous image photographing apparatus for a vehicle black box according to the present invention thus constructed will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

First, in FIG. 2, a driver of a vehicle inputs a set button 41 of a button input unit 40 provided at one side of a vehicle-mounted black box 10 installed in a room, and sets shooting conditions of still images (S1). At this time, when the setting button 41 is input, the control unit 11 displays information on the number of still images, the shooting speed, the selection of daytime and nighttime, the special effect, and the like on the screen of the display unit 35 Allows the operator to select and set. Therefore, any one of about 1 to 30 frames is selected as the number of still images continuously shot at one time under the setting conditions displayed on the screen of the display unit 35 of the driver (S2) The recording speed is 1 second, 1/2 second, 1/4 second, 1/8 second, 1/15 second, 1/30 second, 1/60 second, 1/125 second, 1/250 second, 1 second / 500 seconds or 1 / 1,000 seconds is selected (S3). Then, a condition is selected in which the still image is photographed according to the daytime, nighttime, daytime and nighttime (S4), and a special effect including a resolution or a shading effect is selected (S5). The shooting conditions of still images selected and set by the setting button 41 are stored in the memory unit 30 (S6). The photographing condition stored in the memory unit 30 can be corrected by the driver by the input of the setting button 41. [ The control unit 11 displays a setting image corresponding to the setting button 41 on the screen of the display unit 35 in addition to the input of the setting button 41 provided at one side of the vehicle black box 10, The user can manually select and set the shooting conditions by touching the touch screen 36 coupled to the screen of the display unit 35. [

3, the driver of the vehicle inputs the continuous shooting button 42 of the button input unit 40 provided at one side of the vehicle-mounted black box 10 installed in the room, and selects the continuous shooting button 42 for any one of the front, rear, The still image is successively photographed (S11). At this time, the setting of the operation of the front camera 21, the rear camera 22, or the side camera 23 of the camera unit 20 may be preceded by the setting button 41. [ When the continuous shooting button 42 is input, the camera 20 of the vehicle black box 10 stops shooting the moving image (S12). The camera unit 20 captures a still image according to the value set in the memory unit 30 under the control of the control unit 11 (S13). That is, if the photographing condition stored in the memory unit 30 is 10 sheets for 1/15 seconds, the corresponding number of still images are taken for the corresponding time. Then, the control unit 11 performs pre-processing or post-processing for the special effect of the still image or the still image taken during the day, night, or the like as the shooting condition for the captured still image. For example, unlike the daytime, the control unit 11 detects the illuminance outside the vehicle from the illuminance sensor 37 when the nighttime, the rain, the fog, the overcast weather, the season, etc., So that a clearer still image is photographed for the corresponding area around the vehicle. In addition, it is possible to add a special effect to the photographed still image so as to save the sense of presence. The control unit 11 causes the camera unit 20 to continuously capture a still image after the still image is captured in the set shooting condition (S14). When the continuous shooting button 42 is pressed, the control unit 11 judges whether the vehicle is running or paused in the starting state, whether the vehicle is parked while the starting is stopped, (Step S15). This classifies a still image of a group of still images taken in accordance with the driving, stopping, parking, or the like of the vehicle so that the driver can easily and easily search the still image stored in the memory unit 30. [ When the still image photographed in the memory unit 30 is stored in the memory unit 30, the control unit 11 displays the facts repeatedly or periodically through the display unit 35 or the sound output unit 33 (S16).

4, the driver of the vehicle separates the vehicle black box 10 installed in the room, and the driver photographs the still image directly from the outside of the vehicle to the corresponding area (S21). When the driver inputs the continuous shooting button 42 (S22), when the continuous shooting button 42 is input, the camera 20 of the vehicle black box 10 stops shooting the moving image (S23). The camera unit 20 captures a still image according to the value set in the memory unit 30 under the control of the control unit 11 (S24). The still images photographed by the camera unit 20 are stored in the memory unit 30 (S25). When the still image photographed in the memory unit 30 is stored in the memory unit 30, the control unit 11 displays the facts in a certain number of times or periodically through the display unit 35 or the sound output unit 33 (S26). Therefore, the vehicle black box 10 installed inside the vehicle can be separated and the driver can photograph the desired still image while carrying it with the general camera. At this time, it is preferable to stop the shooting of the moving picture when the driver disconnects the black box. This may stop the shooting state of the moving image at the selection of the driver by the input of the setting button 41. [ When the black box is detached and carried from the vehicle, it may be useful when photographing a scene such as a collision or a contact accident of the vehicle, or allowing the driver to take an emergency situation.

5, the driver of the vehicle inputs the search button 43 of the button input unit 40 provided at one side of the vehicle-mounted black box 10 installed in the room, and searches for the still image stored in the memory unit 30 (S31) . When the search button 43 is input, the control unit 11 displays the first image image list of the still images stored in the memory unit 30 on the screen of the display unit 35 (S32). That is, the control unit 11 exposes the image of the first cut of the still image of the corresponding group on the screen of the display unit 35 from the still images of the series group stored in the memory unit 30. The control unit 11 provides a list of still images captured during driving or pausing while a still image of a group of still images is being started and a list of still images captured during parking while the start of the still image is stopped, So that the image of the first cut of the display unit 35 is displayed on the screen of the display unit 35 (S33). Accordingly, when the driver selects the first image image of the still images displayed on the screen of the display unit 35 or the image image separated and displayed according to the driving condition of the vehicle in step S34, The position, and the number of images, on the screen of the display unit 35 (S35).

6, the driver of the vehicle enters the delete button 44 of the button input unit 40 provided at one side of the vehicle-mounted black box 10 installed in the room, and all or any of the still images stored in the memory unit 30 are deleted (S41). The control unit 11 displays information for enabling the user to selectively delete all of the still images stored in the memory unit 30 on the display unit 35 when the delete button 44 is input. Accordingly, the driver selects a deletion method displayed on the screen of the display unit 35 to delete a plurality of still images (S42). The deletion method is to delete all the still images stored in the memory unit 30 in order, delete them in the order of the recorded and stored time, delete them by event, delete the still images taken while the vehicle is running, Delete still image, delete still image taken when the start is stopped, and delete by date. Therefore, when the operator selects a desired deletion method, the control unit 11 deletes the still image according to the selected deletion method (S43).

In FIG. 7, when an event occurs when the photographing condition based on the input of the setting button 41 of the button input unit 40 is selected, the continuous photographing button 42 is input (S51). In the event that the vehicle is in a running or stopped state, the control unit 11 operates the camera unit 20 when an impact of a certain level or more is detected from the impact detection sensor 34 so that the still images are continuously photographed according to the set shooting conditions S52). The still images photographed by the camera unit 20 are stored in the memory unit 30 (S53). When the still image is stored in the memory unit 30, the control unit 11 displays the information on the display unit 35 or the sound output unit 33 at a predetermined number of times or periodically (S54). Accordingly, the control unit 11 causes the continuous shooting button 42 to be manually entered by the driver, or to shoot automatically under the shooting conditions set by the external impact detection of the vehicle.

In the present invention, in addition to the manual mode in which the driver directly inputs the continuous shooting button 42 for continuous shooting by using the setting button 41 of the button input unit 40, the control of the control unit 11 And the continuous shooting button 42 is automatically inputted when an impact is detected from the outside by the impact detection sensor 34.
