An enhanced map information processing unitof a driving assistance deviceacquires from a determination unitinformation on surroundings of a vehicle which is needed to perform autonomous driving, and acquires from a server deviceenvironment information on surroundings of a route on which autonomous driving is performed. On the basis of the acquired environment information, the enhanced map information processing unitextracts, as an autonomous driving unsuitable location Pn, a location at which the accuracy of the acquirement of the sensor unitis predicted not to satisfy a standard for acquiring the information on the surroundings of the vehicle needed to perform autonomous driving. An informing unitalerts the extracted autonomous driving unsuitable location Pn to a user.

Route search device, control method, program and storage medium

A storing-reproducing unitrecognizes a free space of a contents storage area by a storage-area-administrating device, sets a recording timing duration based on the recognized free space of the contents storage area, and selects a schedule information of a contents to be recorded from recording schedule list information. Hence, frequency of storing the contents in the HDDcan be reduced, thereby avoiding that the contents which has not yet watched is erased by self-erasing, so that the contents can be effectively recorded. Therefore, a user can secure flexibility in time in watching the contents.

Information processor, method thereof, program for executing the method, recording medium storing the program and information storage

A CPUof a recording/reproducing deviceacquires automatic video recording request information, and generates, based on EPG data previously acquired, new automatic reservation information incorporating basic video recording information with video recording start date and time or video recording finish date and time for contents corresponding to a keyword in the automatic video recording reservation request information and priority information indicating that the priority is 'intermediate'. When the CPUdetermines that the video recording time indicated by the reservation information corresponding to a manual video recording reservation incorporated in a video recording reservation list information and that for the new automatic reservation information overlap each other, the CPUdeletes the reservation information corresponding to the manual video recording reservation from the video recording reservation list information, and incorporates the new automatic reservation information as reservation information in the video recording list information.
