Abstract: Upon reception of content information (step S1), a control unit decides a different notification sound in accordance with an identifier attached to the received content information (step S4). The control unit causes a reproduction unit (5) to reproduce the decided notification sound. Thus, the user can guess the content of the received content information.

Abstract: Reproduction is performed so that the user can grasp the details of content information on long sentence reading the reproduction of which has been suspended. If an vehicle-mounted device (10) receives content information with higher priority of the reproduction than that of the content information on the long sentence reading during the reproduction of the content information on the long sentence reading received from a center apparatus by a reproduction section (step S4; Y), the vehicle-mounted device (10) allows the control of a control unit to suspend the reproduction of the content information on the long sentence reading (step S7) and to start the reproduction of the content information with higher priority (step S8). If the reproduction ends, the vehicle-mounted device (10) allows the reproduction means to resume the suspended reproduction of the content information on the long sentence reading (step S12).

Abstract: A roadside device (15) is provided with a corresponding table in the case where there is an item of a new version of a taste data table to take over from user taste information in an item of an old version of the taste data table. In the corresponding table, item numbers “52”, “53”, “62” and “63” in the old version of the taste table, for example, are made to correspond to item numbers “52”, “53” and “63” in the new version of the taste table. An ITS vehicle-mounted device (17) sets user taste data in the item numbers of the old version corresponding to the item numbers of the new version to default values of the items in the new version for a transmitting-destination user of the taste data table of the new version and transmits the default data to an ITS vehicle-mounted device (17) of the transmitting-destination user.

Abstract: Provided is an information distribution system (100), in which a control section (4) deletes, when a member registration cancellation of a distribution service is instructed by an input unit (1d) of a vehicle-mounted device (10), the contents information and the uplink information stored in a storage unit (1f), other than the fundamental information, thereby to set ON a member registration cancellation flag. If the member registration cancellation flag is set ON when the communication with a center apparatus (30) is established, moreover, the control section (4) writes a code indicating the member registration cancellation, in the fundamental information of the uplink information, and transmits the same to the center apparatus (30). When this center apparatus (30) receives the uplink information from the vehicle-mounted device (10), the center apparatus (30) decides whether or not the code indicating the member registration cancellation is contained in the fundamental information.

Abstract: In a distribution system comprising a center apparatus (30) for transmitting content information and a vehicle-mounted device (10) for receiving the content information, the vehicle-mounted device (10) has a cancel button (B1) for instructing to discontinue the reception of the content information and a control unit for transmitting, to the center apparatus (30), control information causing discontinuation of the transmission of the content information when the instruction to discontinue the reception is provided by the cancel button (B1), and the center apparatus (30) has a control unit for discontinuing the transmission of the content information based on the control information (characteristic information of the vehicle-mounted device (10), reception discontinuation notification information) transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device (10).

Abstract: It is an object to provide a mounted-on-a-car instrument configured to prevent duplicate reproduction of the same contents. A mounted-on-a-car instrument (10) is provided with a DSRC unit (3) that receives contents information from a center device (30) through a roadside apparatus (20) and a car navigation unit (1) that stores guide information on driving of a car. The mounted-on-a-car instrument (10) is further provided with an audio output unit (5) that outputs the contents information and the guide information, a memory unit (3c) that stores information of a position where the roadside apparatus (20) is arranged, and a control unit (4) that makes the audio output unit (5) output either the contents information or the guide information based on the position information stored in the memory unit (3c) in the case where the contents information and the guide information meet an output condition.

Abstract: An information distributing system and a vehicle-mounted device that are able to distribute or acquire information related to vehicle maintenance. The information distributing system comprises vehicle-mounted devices (10) and a center apparatus (30).
