Abstract: An information processing apparatus has a controller configured to identify a driver of a vehicle on the basis of at least one of the results of first authentication based on a first part of the living body of a user and second authentication based on a user device. The controller gives higher priority to the result of first authentication than the result of second authentication in the processing of identifying the driver of the vehicle. The user device may include a first communication terminal capable of functioning as an electronic key of the vehicle and a second communication terminal incapable of functioning as an electronic key of the vehicle. The controller gives higher priority to the result of authentication of the first communication terminal than the result of authentication of the second communication terminal.

Abstract: A vehicle system for a vehicle includes a controller configured to: identify a user profile to be loaded based on communication with a user device; receive user preference packets containing a user ID from the user device; determine whether the user ID of the user preference packets matches with a user ID of the user profile to be loaded; and discard the user preference packets in response to determining that the user ID of the user preference packets does not match with the user ID of the user profile to be loaded.

Abstract: A method comprises, upon determination that one user profile is associated with a detected one or more mobile devices, loading the one user profile associated with the detected one or more mobile devices, upon determination that a plurality of user profiles are associated with the detected one or more mobile devices, loading the user profile that was most recently loaded on the vehicle, and upon determination that no user profiles are associated with the detected one or more mobile devices, loading a guest profile.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device receives first information which is a part of individual setting information of a user related to pieces of equipment provided in the vehicle from a user terminal owned by the user by short-range wireless communication. The in-vehicle device receives second information other than the first information in the individual setting information from a server device through a network. Then, the in-vehicle device transmits, to an equipment control device, the first information received from the user terminal and the second information received from the server device.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device receives personalization information including user vehicle settings from one or more user terminals within a predetermined range from the vehicle. The in-vehicle device stores the received personalization information in a storage or memory unit. The in-vehicle device performs an authentication process to identify a specific user on board the vehicle. The in-vehicle device selects the personalization information corresponding to the identified specific user from the personalization information stored in the storage unit. The in-vehicle device transmits the selected personalization information to an equipment controller for controlling equipment settings of the vehicle according to the selected personalization information.

Abstract: An information notification apparatus includes a vehicle information obtaining unit configured to obtain vehicle information regarding movement states of a plurality of vehicles, a congestion potential deriving unit configured to derive congestion potential indicating that congestion is to occur on a surrounding road in the future due to vehicles parked in a predetermined area based on the vehicle information, and a controller configured to notify a user of information regarding the congestion potential through a notification unit provided in a portable terminal or a target vehicle.

Abstract: A destination information provider server is disclosed. The destination information provider server is configured to obtain position information of an information providing target vehicle, recognize a target link, which corresponds to a link of a road on which the information providing target vehicle is traveling, based on the position information, and transmit destination information to the information providing target vehicle, the destination information being indicative of destinations of other vehicles which travel on the target link.

Abstract: There is provided an alternative vehicle guiding system wherein a communication sever system receives a fault condition information from vehicles and also transmits the necessary information to the navigation system of an alternative vehicle in order to prevent the damage of loads by quickly guiding the alternative vehicle to the fault generating vehicle position and then realizing smooth transfer of remaining work to the alternative vehicle. The navigation system, fault monitoring means and vehicle communication means are respectively provided in the vehicles for transportation work and the center server system is also provided to transmit the vehicle distribution information to the vehicles. When a fault is generated in the vehicle, the communication server system receives the information from this vehicle and the navigation system of the alternative vehicle displays the transmitted information.
