An information communication system transmits an advertisement to a first terminal device used by a first user based on transmission of a message from the first terminal device to a second terminal device used by a second user. The information communication system causes the first terminal device to display an operation part operable to transmit the advertisement to the second terminal device. The information communication system transmits the advertisement to the second terminal device in response to operation of the displayed operation part by the first user. The information communication system executes processing of giving a reward to the first user based on recognition that the second user takes an action corresponding to a successful result of the advertisement after the second user selects the advertisement.

An information communication system acquires first user information indicating a first user and second user information indicating a second user based on transmission of a message from a first terminal device used by the first user to a second terminal device used by the second user. The information communication system transmits, to the first terminal device, a first advertisement corresponding to an attribute of the first user indicated by the acquired first user information. The information communication system transmits, to the second terminal device, a second advertisement corresponding to an attribute of the second user indicated by the acquired second user information.

An information communication system transmits an advertisement to a second terminal device used by a second user based on transmission of a message from a first terminal device used by a first user to the second terminal device. The information communication system executes processing of giving a reward to the first user based on recognition that the second user takes an action corresponding to a successful result of the advertisement after the second user selects the advertisement.

A vehicle control system includes a control device configured to execute automatic driving control of a vehicle; an image capturing device configured to capture a surrounding image of the vehicle; and a recording device configured to record the surrounding image. The control device includes: a function classifying unit configured to classify functions of the automatic driving control into a first automatic driving function and a second automatic driving function; a state determining unit configured to determine whether the recording device is in a recordable state; and a function restricting unit configured to permit use of the first automatic driving function in a case where the state determining unit determines that the recording device is in the recordable state, and to prohibit the use of the first automatic driving function in a case where the state determining unit determines that the recording device is not in the recordable state.

A vehicle control system includes a recording device configured to record vehicle information in files. The recording device includes: an event information receiving unit configured to receive information about prescribed events; a tag providing unit configured to provide protection tags to the files, the protection tags being of different types according to magnitude of the events; and an overwriting setting unit configured to prohibit overwriting of the files provided with the protection tags of a same type in a case where the number of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type is within a prescribed upper limit number, and to permit the overwriting of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type in a case where the number of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type exceeds the upper limit number.

A vehicle control system includes a control device configured to execute specific automatic driving control; an image capturing device configured to capture a surrounding image of a vehicle; a display device configured to display the surrounding image; and a recording device configured to record the surrounding image. The control device includes: a first determining unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is present on a road where the specific automatic driving control is executable; and a second determining unit configured to determine whether a request to display the surrounding image is present. In a case where the first determining unit determines that the vehicle is present on the road where the specific automatic driving control is executable and the second determining unit determines that the request to display the surrounding image is absent, the recording device records the surrounding image.
