Whether route guidance information output from a navigation device to which an external device is connectable is provided by a navigation function of the external device or by that of the navigation device is able to be identified. A navigation device () that outputs route guidance information to HMI devices () to () and an external device () having a navigation function connected to the navigation device are included. The navigation device includes an external device detection means () that detects an input from the external device and an output control means () that controls output of route guidance information to the HMI devices. When the external device detection means has detected an input from the external device, the output control means outputs route guidance information provided by the navigation function included in the external device to the HMI devices in an output mode different from when route guidance information is output to the HMI devices by a navigation function included in the navigation device.

Navigation system and navigation device

A voice processing device includes a voice recognition unit for extracting a command contained in an input voice, and a control unit for controlling operation of the voice processing device itself and/or instructing external devices to operate, based on the extracted command and/or operation instruction information provided. The control unit stores, in a storage device as an operation history, operation information associating the command or a part thereof and/or the operation instruction information or a part of the operation instruction information with details of the operation which is performed by the voice processing device and/or the external device based on the command and/or the operation instruction information. When a voice is input anew, the control unit extracts from the operation history an operation record containing a command or a part of a command, and controls operation of the voice processing device itself and/or instructs an external device to operate.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a server, navigation device, and distribution exclusion area setting method in an advertising information distribution system, which avoid unnecessary distribution of advertising information and improve precision of a distribution area of the advertising information. When distributing advertising information relating to a facility in the vicinity of the present location of the navigation device, at least a portion of the area of a travel area which has recently been traversed is excluded from an area for distribution of the advertising information; therefore, it becomes unnecessary to distribute the advertising information of the facility which is in a site to which it would be necessary to double back from the present location, and it is possible to improve the precision of the distribution area of the advertising information.

An information display device includes: a communications part that receives, from multiple external devices, information on a time zone of the current position identified by the multiple external devices; a time zone-identification part that identifies a time zone of the current position of the self-device, on the basis of the information received from the multiple external devices; and a display control part that displays time in the identified time zone of the current position on a display part, in which the time zone-identification part repeatedly calculates, for a first predetermined time length, an accumulated time in which time zones received from a predetermined number of the external devices match one another, and when the accumulated match time is not shorter than a predetermined time, identifies the matched time zone as the time zone of the current position.

Time information display device

A terminal detection unit detects a mobile terminal located inside a vehicle. An action history information generation unit and storage unit associate the mobile terminal detected by the terminal detection unit and an action of the vehicle associated with each other and store them as action history information. An action suggestion unit searches the action history information stored in the storage unit for the action associated with the mobile terminal detected by the terminal detection unit and suggests the found action to a passenger of the vehicle.
