An on-board apparatus () is provided with: a touch panel () for detecting information about a position touched by an operator; a display mode recognition unit () that recognizes a mode displayed on an image display unit (); a gesture recognition unit () that recognizes a gesture inputted via the touch panel; and an operation mode determination unit () that determines an operation mode depending on the travel status of the vehicle and on the basis of the gesture. Thus, the function that is not displayed on the image display unit () can be simply operated by the gesture for implementing the function that is limited during travel.
