Abstract: A vehicle electronic device includes a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of a current position of a vehicle; a map information storage unit configured to store map information presenting a map for identifying an area corresponding to the current position of the vehicle on the map; and an area identification unit configured to identify the area corresponding to the current position of the vehicle based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit and the map information stored in the map information storage unit. The map information is information for identifying a border of an area containing a country, a prefecture, a municipality, a state or a district. The border of the area is specified as a set of points representing the border.

Abstract: A drive recorder includes: an imaging unit, an image processing unit, a position information acquisition unit, a communication unit, and a function control processing unit. The imaging unit captures an image of a neighborhood of a vehicle. The image processing unit records the image captured by the imaging unit in a recording medium. The position information acquisition unit acquires position information on the vehicle. The communication unit communicates with a server apparatus to deliver information including the position information. The function control processing unit acquires area information transmitted from the server apparatus based on the position information, the area information relating to an area in which the vehicle is located.
