Abstract:
A surrounding area monitoring apparatus receives visual field information about a driver of a surrounding vehicle of a self vehicle, and decides whether the self vehicle is outside the visual field of the surrounding vehicle or not in accordance with the visual field information. Accordingly, it can learn the present dynamic visual field range of the driver of the surrounding vehicle actually traveling around the self vehicle, and obtain more accurate visual field range. Thus, it can appropriately give information that is really necessary and suppress giving unnecessary information.

Claim (Index 1):
A surrounding area monitoring system including a first microcomputer mounted in a first vehicle and a second microcomputer mounted in at least one second vehicle,\n wherein the first microcomputer comprises:\n a first vehicle position acquirer to acquire first positional information of the first vehicle; \n a first visual field range acquirer to acquire first visual field range information of the first vehicle; \n a first communicator to transmit the acquired first positional information of the first vehicle and the acquired first visual field range information of the first vehicle to the at least one second vehicle around the first vehicle; \n wherein the second microcomputer comprises:\n a second vehicle position acquirer to acquire second positional information of the at least one second vehicle; \n a second communicator to receive the first positional information of said first vehicle and the first visual field range information of the first vehicle; \n a decider to decide whether the at least one second vehicle is outside a visual field range of said first vehicle or not, based on the acquired first positional information of the first vehicle, the second positional information of the at least one second vehicle, and the first visual field range of the first vehicle; \n a notification controller to provide an advisory or warning to the at least one second vehicle when the decider decides that the at least one second vehicle is outside the visual field range of said first vehicle.
