As shown in the figure, in this process, the occurrence of reception of the push delivery information URL from the roadside device 210 is monitored via the DSRC communication device 118 and the communication control device 117 (step 302). The pushed distribution information URL is stored in the storage device 119 as a current URL (step 304).

  Then, it is checked whether the already-viewed conditions are satisfied (step 306). If not satisfied, the process proceeds to step 308. If satisfied, the process proceeds to step 320. Here, the already viewed condition is that the received push distribution information URL is equal to the registered URL stored in the storage device 119, and the ID of the roadside system 2 that is the transmission source of the received push distribution information URL is stored in the storage device 119. It is assumed that the registration time is equal to the stored registration ID, and the registration time stored in the storage device 119 is a time within the past predetermined period Th (Th is 6 hours, for example) from the current time.

Since the registration URL, registration ID, and registration time are not stored in the storage device 119 in the initial state, the process always proceeds to step 308 after step 306 is executed for the first time.
When the process proceeds to step 308, the first window 410 as shown in FIG. 4B is displayed in a form superimposed on the guide image 400 displayed on the display device 112 via the GUI control unit 113. (Step 308). Here, the first window 410 includes a display 411 that information that can be browsed has occurred, and a “yes” / “no” button 412 that accepts whether or not information browsing is necessary. In step 308, a voice message indicating that information has been provided may be output via the voice output device 120.
Here, when a vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle system 1 enters the communication area of the roadside system 2 and receives the push distribution information URL from the roadside system 2 for the first time, the first window is displayed because the already viewed conditions are not satisfied. 410 is displayed.

  Then, when the user has instructed to browse by operating the “Yes” button 412 in the first window 410 (step 310), the push delivery information URL received in step 302 is stored in the storage device 119 as a registration URL. Then, the ID of the roadside system 2 that is the transmission source of the push distribution information URL received in step 302 is stored in the storage device 119 as a registration ID, and the current time is stored in the storage device 119 as a registration time (step 312).

  Then, after deleting the display of the first window 410 (step 314), the Web browser 115 is instructed to access the push delivery information URL received in step 302 (step 316), and the process returns to step 302. Here, the web browser 115 instructed to access the push delivery information URL uses the IP connection with the roadside system 2 to acquire the web page of the URL indicated by the push delivery information URL, and is shown in FIG. 4d. The acquired web page 430 is displayed on the display device 112 via the GUI control unit 113.

  On the other hand, when the user gives an instruction to view or not by the operation of the “No” button 412 of the first window 410 (step 310), the display of the first window 410 is deleted (step 318). Return to processing. However, in step 318, the same processing as in step 312 is performed, that is, the push delivery information URL received in step 302 is stored in the storage device 119 as a registration URL, and the source of the push delivery information URL received in step 302 is stored. A process of storing the ID of the roadside system 2 in the storage device 119 as a registration ID and storing the current time in the storage device 119 as a registration time may also be performed.

If it is determined in step 306 that the viewing conditions are satisfied and the process proceeds to step 320, the second window 420 as shown in FIG. 4C is displayed on the display device 112 via the GUI control unit 113. The information is displayed for a certain period (for example, 10 seconds) in a form superimposed on the displayed guide image 400, and the process returns to step 302. Here, the second window 420 is a window having a size smaller than that of the first window 410, and is displayed on the periphery of the display device 112 so as not to hinder the visual recognition of the guide image 400. The second window 420 only includes a display indicating that there is information that can be browsed and that an operation for displaying the information provided from the menu can be performed.
Here, for a break or the like after the user browses the Web page 430 of the push delivery information URL notified from the roadside system 2 when the vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle system 1 enters the communication area of the roadside system 2. When parking in the communication area for a short time and turning off the accessory power supply, when the accessory power supply is turned back on after that, the viewing conditions are satisfied, so only the second window 420 is displayed. It becomes.

  Note that the control unit 122 uses the menu screen displayed in response to the operation of the menu button 401, and if the user gives an instruction to display the provided information, the control unit 122 uses the Web browser to access the URL held as the current URL. As a result, the Web browser 115 displays the Web page 430 of the URL indicated by the last received push delivery information URL, as shown in FIG. 4D.
