Publication number: 20080088425Abstract: A notification controller allows a notification apparatus to perform notification in accordance with input of notification request information from a notification information transmitter. The notification controller determines whether or not the notification request information supplied from the notification information transmitter can be disabled from provision in accordance with a user operation. When the information supplied is determined to be disabled from provision in accordance with a user operation, the notification controller prompts a user to determine whether or not to stop the notification. The notification controller disables the notification when confirming that the user issues an instruction to stop the notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Tetsuya Hara, Hirotane Ikeda, Toshiyuki Ito, Kousuke Hara, Hirotoshi Iwasaki
