Vehicle-mounted device, information output method, and information providing system
View Patent ↗A vehicle-mounted device ( 10 ) which receives and outputs a radio wave containing at least direction information as information includes: detection means which detects the radio wave; and control means which compares the detection direction received from the direction detection means which detects the direction of the vehicle head to the direction information so as to judge whether the information is to be outputted. Thus, it is possible to provide a vehicle-mounted device which can provide only the information required by a user, a method for outputting the information, and an information providing system.
1. An information providing system, comprising:
a direction detection unit configured to detect a direction in which a vehicle head of a vehicle is oriented, and outputting the direction as a detected direction;
a roadside apparatus for transmitting a radio wave including information, the information including at least direction information related to a traveling direction of a road;
a vehicle-mounted device which includes a detection unit configured to detect the radio wave, and a control unit configured to decide whether or not the information is to be outputted, by comparing the detected direction with the direction information; and
a server apparatus for transmitting the information via the roadside apparatus,
wherein the control unit outputs emergency disaster information regardless of the direction detected by the direction detection unit when the information includes the emergency disaster information.
2. The information providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle-mounted device comprises the direction detection unit.
3. The information providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the direction detection unit comprises a terrestrial magnetism detection unit configured to detect terrestrial magnetism.
4. The information providing system according to claim 1 , wherein the information includes at least one of emergency disaster information, safe driving support information, long sentence reading out information, and local information.
