Abstract
A received information processing apparatus enables simplification of user manipulation when information relevant to an area is to be acquired. A position information extraction section extracts predetermined position information (for instance, postal codes) corresponding to the vehicle position calculated by a vehicle position calculation section. A received information extraction section extracts received information relevant to a specified area from among various kinds of information included in a data broadcast received by a digital broadcast receiver, based on position information received from the position information extraction section and predetermined extraction conditions stored in an extraction conditions storage section. Depiction data corresponding to the extracted received information is generated by a received information depiction section, and the content of the received information that is relevant to the vehicle position is displayed on a screen of a display device.
