Is processed for a predetermined area according to the comparison result. Here, the four threshold values are the warning upper limit threshold value, the warning lower limit threshold value, the caution upper limit threshold value, and the caution lower limit threshold value.

More specifically, the processing unit 31 performs different processing depending on, for example, when the value indicated by the sensor information exceeds the threshold value of the warning upper limit and when the value falls below the threshold value of the warning lower limit. Further, the processing unit 31 performs different processing depending on, for example, a case where the value indicated by the sensor information exceeds the threshold value of the upper limit of caution and a case where the value is lower than the threshold value of the lower limit of attention.
