Abstract

A vehicle is provided with a button that is depressed by a driver at any time for inputting intention information indicating an intention of approving a condition or an intention of rejecting the condition. The intention information inputted by the depressing operation of the button is transmitted to an information providing center. The intention information is transmitted together with position information indicating a point where the button is depressed and time information indicating a time. In the center, a server provides related information related to the transmitted intention information as a feedback. The server also supposes the reason why the transmitted intention information is inputted, and transmits the supposed reason to a closed SNS or an open SNS with a response form. The server then determines a reason of input based upon a response in accordance with the response form, and accumulates the determined reason in an information storage section so as to be retrievable in association with the intention information.
