Abstract
An information providing center calculates an estimated traveling time to elapse before a vehicle arrives at a destination by using traveling information transmitted from an on-vehicle system and determines contents information to be provided to the on-vehicle system in conformance to the calculated traveling time. The information providing center prepares a program list containing the contents information that has been selected, information indicating the order in which the contents information is to be played and media information indicating how the contents information is to be obtained and transmits the program list to the on-vehicle system. The on-vehicle system obtains and plays the contents information as indicated in the transmitted program list.
