Based on position information indicating a position of a vehicle on a map, whether the vehicle has arrived at an entrance of an area in a vicinity of a destination of the vehicle where road links do not exist is determined, a history of the vehicle having parked in the area is stored as parking information, the parking information is referenced when it is determined that the vehicle has arrived at the area, and guidance information is output as information which guides the vehicle based on recommendation information and which includes at least a parking position in the area.

In-vehicle apparatus and processing method thereof

An in-vehicle apparatus mounted in a vehicle includes: an assistance processing unit that executes assistance processing for providing a user with specified information; and a display control unit that performs control to display a list according to a sequential order of the assistance processing executed by the assistance processing unit.

In-vehicle apparatus and information presentation method

An in-vehicle apparatus mounted in a vehicle includes: a map information storage unit that stores map information; a communication control unit that acquires traffic information; a travel history database in which a travel history of the vehicle with respect to each road is recorded; a route estimation unit that estimates a travel route of the vehicle by using the map information and the travel history database; a traveling time calculation unit that calculates actual traveling time of the vehicle with respect to the travel route and calculates predicted traveling time required when traveling the travel route estimated by the route estimation unit by using the traffic information; and a display control unit that performs control to display a map screen indicating the travel route and display the actual traveling time and the predicted traveling time together with the map screen.

An information processing device is installed in a vehicle and comprises an action history DB which stores a plurality of action histories including a combination of a content that was played based on an instruction of a user and a situation in which the content was played, and an automatic playing unit which, when a current elapsed time as an elapsed time from a time that an ignition switch of the vehicle was most recently turned ON or a current travel distance as a travel distance from a time that an ignition switch of the vehicle was most recently turned ON matches any one of the action histories of the action history DB, plays a content included in the matching action history.
