PARKING POSITION SEARCH ASSISTING APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM

摘要

An image-taking control section (17) determines, based on information outputted from a location information obtaining section (14), whether a vehicle has entered a car park. When the vehicle has entered the car park, an image storage section (18) stores, at predetermined time intervals, images of a view in a traveling direction of the vehicle, which images are taken by a vehicle-mounted camera (20). Image taking is terminated when the vehicle is parked at a parking space and a parking brake is applied. Thereafter, the taken images are transmitted via a transmission section (22) to a mobile terminal held by a user. The user is allowed to easily recognize the parking position of his/her vehicle by viewing the images with the mobile terminal.
