  • Patent number: 9369417
    Abstract: An on-vehicle apparatus system and a terminal device protect personal information and location information readable from message information viewed by others. The on-vehicle apparatus, which is included in a vehicle and which is connected to the terminal device, includes an application for transmitting location information representing a position of the terminal device along with message information, to a message management system, and includes a first area determination unit which determines whether the position of the terminal device represented by the location information is included in a predetermined first area, and a posting controller, which bans assignment of the location information performed before the message information is transmitted to the message management system by the application, when the first area determination unit determines that the position of the terminal device is included in the first area.

  • Publication number: 20110306389
    Abstract: In an image display control system for multiple apparatuses, a portable information portable apparatus is connected to an in-vehicle apparatus by a communication link. The system displays different images in the portable apparatus display and on the in-vehicle apparatus, respectively. A main image is displayed on the in-vehicle apparatus, and an auxiliary image is displayed in the portable apparatus. When rotation of the portable apparatus is detected, the system determines that the user wants to view the image in greater detail on the portable apparatus. Appropriate images are then displayed on the respective image display screens in various modes. When the function of the in-vehicle apparatus is activated, an image transmitted from the in-vehicle apparatus is displayed in the portable apparatus.
