An in-vehicle deviceregularly transmits to an information distribution serveran acquisition request that includes an own vehicle position and a facility search condition, and acquires facility information matching the condition around the vehicle. The in-vehicle devicecontrols the number of displays of the facility information on the basis of the information in an in-vehicle sensor groupwhen displaying the acquired facility information on a map.

An evaluation information posting device determines a rest state of a vehicle on the basis of rest information, determines a facility at which the vehicle has stopped off by using position information showing a rest position of the vehicle, map information including facility information about facilities located in an area surrounding the position shown by this position information, and a keyword about a facility at the rest position of the vehicle, and, by using both stop-off facility information about the facility which is a result of the determination, and a keyword about an evaluation which is provided for this facility, generates evaluation information about the stop-off facility and posts this evaluation information to an evaluation information managing server.

A water supply apparatus is provided to meet demands for energy saving by controlling the rotational speed of a pump (), for example, so as to lower the rotational speed in the time zone when water is not used much while avoiding the time zone when water is used in large quantities. The water supply apparatus includes the pump () configured to pressurize and deliver water, a frequency converter configured to supply electric power to the pump () to operate the pump () at a variable speed, and a controller () configured to send operating signals to the frequency converter so as to operate the pump () either at a first operation or at a second operation with less power consumption than the first operation. The controller () is configured to judge whether the operation of the pump () should be shifted from the first operation to the second operation based on an operational state of the pump ().
