Abstract: A processing server detects an incident of a vehicle by analyzing one of position information about the vehicle, image information about the periphery of the vehicle, and traveling data about the vehicle, which are acquired from the vehicle, and selects a new function corresponding to the detected incident. Then, the processing server gives notice of the proposal for the new function to the vehicle, as an estimated timing when a user having encountered the incident has cooled down while the user's memory about the incident is clear.
