Patent ID: 8918228

Claim:
A vehicle behavior data storing apparatus comprising: a reference value memory part for storing a reference value; a vehicle behavior value inputting part for inputting a vehicle behavior value indicating a degree of vehicle behavior; a vehicle behavior data inputting part for inputting a vehicle behavior data indicative of the vehicle behavior; a vehicle behavior data memory part for storing the vehicle behavior data inputted by the vehicle behavior data inputting part; a computer processor comprising: a memory control part for comparing the vehicle behavior value inputted by the vehicle behavior value inputting part with the reference value stored in the reference value memory part, and storing in the vehicle behavior data memory part the vehicle behavior data inputted by the vehicle behavior data inputting part when a comparison result indicates that the vehicle behavior value satisfies a predetermined condition relative to the reference value; and a reference value changing part for changing the reference value stored in the reference value memory part when the vehicle behavior data is stored in the vehicle behavior data memory part; wherein the reference value changing part is configured to change the reference value stored in the reference value memory part immediately after the memory control part stores the vehicle behavior data in the vehicle behavior data memory part such that the vehicle behavior data is stored less frequently in the vehicle behavior data memory part than before the change.
