The action schedule (location, time, action content) to be taken is stored.

  The interest information update determination unit 110, when notified from the in-vehicle device information detection / determination unit 101 that the latest information on transportation has been acquired, selects the interest information stored in the personal adaptation DB 106 and the scheduled action personal adaptation information. The timing which notifies the passenger | crew of the vehicle the latest information on the transportation system narrowed down by the part 102 is controlled. This is because if the latest information on transportation is notified to the vehicle driver at an inappropriate timing, safe driving may be hindered.

  Then, the interest information update determination unit 110 refers to the personal adaptation DB 106 to determine the interest of the vehicle occupant narrowed down by the personal adaptation information selection unit 102. Furthermore, the interest information update determination unit 110 compares the initial transportation information acquired by operating the mobile phone 900 and the latest transportation information stored in the personal adaptation DB 106 to update the transportation information. Determine if there is a change.

  In other words, the interest information update determination unit 110 refers to the personal adaptation DB 106, and the vehicle information detection / determination regarding the passenger's interest information (here, the transportation information) estimated by the interest estimation unit 109b. The latest transportation information acquired by the unit 101 and the transportation information acquired from the mobile phone 900 are compared to determine whether there is a change in the occupant's interests.

  If there is a change in the occupant's interest, the interest information update determination unit 110 permits the occupant to notify the notification control unit 103 of a change in transportation information (outputs a permission signal). The interest information update determination unit 110 functions as an interest information acquisition unit that acquires the occupant interest information estimated by the interest estimation unit 109b with reference to the personal adaptation DB 106.

  The above-mentioned comparison is not limited to the occupant's interest but may be any item. Moreover, the structure which notifies only the information regarding a passenger | crew's concern may be sufficient. In addition, when the occupant to be notified is a driver, the interest information update determination unit 110 sets a timing at which driving may be permitted when permitting the notification control unit 103 to notify the occupant of a change in transportation information. Timing control is performed so as to select and output a permission signal.

  The display display request reception determination unit 111 detects the pressing of the display request SW 111 a and outputs an alternative transportation information notification on signal that permits notification of alternative transportation information to the notification control unit 103.
