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: A road-vehicle communication system enabling resumption of the transmission/reception from the rest of data between the vehicle and the road if the transmission/reception is interrupted. Specifically, the road-vehicle communication system includes a roadside apparatus for distributing a content and a vehicle-mounted device which can play a distributed content, the roadside apparatus is connected communicatively with the vehicle-mounted device, and a series of contents are distributed from the roadside apparatus to the vehicle-mounted device. The roadside apparatus includes a control unit for determining a content which the roadside apparatus starts transmitting to the vehicle-mounted device, which is a communication party, from among the series of contents and distributing the other contents succeeding the determined transmission start content. Thus, if the transmission/reception of data between the road and vehicle is interrupted, the transmission/reception can be resumed.

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: 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). Each vehicle-mounted device (10) includes a communication part (3b) that communicates with the center apparatus (30) via a roadside apparatus (20); a storing part (3c) that stores uplink information including information related to the driving of a target vehicle (C); and a control part (4) that causes the uplink information to be transmitted to the center apparatus (30).

Abstract: An advertisement distributing system and a vehicle-mounted device that are able to give or acquire some benefits for viewing advertisement information. The advertisement distributing system comprises vehicle-mounted devices (10), roadside apparatuses (20) and a center apparatus (30). Each vehicle-mounted device (10) includes a communication part (3b); a storing part (3c) for storing advertisement viewing history information as to whether to have viewed advertisement information; and a control part (4) that causes the communication part (3b) to transmit the advertisement viewing history information toward the center apparatus (30).
