Publication number: 20260200491Abstract: A notification system includes a mobile terminal and a processor. The mobile terminal receives notification information for a driver of a vehicle and notifies the driver of the notification information. The processor generates the notification information and transmits the notification information to the mobile terminal. The processor causes the mobile terminal to notify the driver of the notification information until an ending condition for ending notification is satisfied. The processor changes the ending condition depending on urgency of the notification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2026Publication date: July 16, 2026Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuta MANIWA, Koichi FUJITA, Jun TOHYAMA, Daisuke AKAHO, Natsumi IZAWA, Shunichiroh SAWAI, Masahiko NAKAMURA, Kenichiro AOKI
