A hazardous behavior determining unit () determines a vehicle that is conducting or is likely to conduct hazardous driving from among one or more vehicles around a host vehicle and a type of the hazardous driving using information indicating states of the host vehicle and the vehicles and a surrounding situation and behavior information stored in an onboard database (). A registered vehicle identifying unit () identifies a vehicle that corresponds to hazardous vehicle information stored in the onboard database () by collating numbers of a license plate detected by a number detecting unit () with numbers stored in the onboard database (). A hazard predicting unit () predicts a risk to the host vehicle using the determination result from the hazardous behavior determining unit () and the identification result from the registered vehicle identifying unit ().

An AV system that executes image recognition of an identification markprovided on headphonesin a seat side shot image taken with a camera,calculates the coordinate position of the identification markin the shot image, decides from the coordinate position of the identification markas to which one of a plurality of seats a user wearing the headphonessits on, and transmits audio data which corresponds to video data to be displayed on the display screen facing the seat, as to which a decision is made that the user sits on, to the headphonesto be produced as audio output.

A computer system comprises, a profile for each software module, a software module monitor which detects a failure as failure occurrence information at an early stage at a time of execution of an application based on execution related information recorded in the profile, and notifies a software module manager of the failure, and the software module manager which identifies a failed software module from the failure occurrence information, determines how to handle the software module on the basis of the execution related information and the failure occurrence information, and directs the execution.
