Abstract

An in-vehicle system is mountable on a vehicle having an automated driving function for automatically controlling at least one of steering and a vehicle speed of the vehicle. The in-vehicle system includes: an information presentation unit configured to present information related to automated driving to a driver of the vehicle; and a call management unit connectable to a mobile terminal capable of wireless communication. When a situation in which the information presentation unit presents information related to automated driving is detected, the call management unit automatically restricts an operation of the mobile terminal.

Claims (13)

1. An in-vehicle system mountable on a vehicle having an automated driving function for automatically controlling at least one of steering and a vehicle speed of the vehicle, the in-vehicle system including:

an information presentation device that includes a display area that is configured to present information related to automated driving to a driver of the vehicle; and

a call management unit connectable to a mobile terminal capable of wireless communication,

wherein when a situation in which the information presentation device presents information related to automated driving is detected, the call management unit automatically restricts an operation of the mobile terminal and

wherein when the operation of the mobile terminal is restricted or a restriction of the operation of the mobile terminal is expected, the call management unit automatically transmits information related to the restriction to a second terminal communicating with the mobile terminal.

2. The in-vehicle system according to claim 1 ,

wherein when it is expected that a first state where the operation of the mobile terminal should be restricted occurs, the call management unit presents advance notice information related to operation restriction of the mobile terminal at a time of a second state at least a certain time or a predetermined distance before the vehicle reaches the first state.

3. The in-vehicle system according to claim 1 ,

wherein when it is expected that a first state where the operation of the mobile terminal should be restricted occurs, the call management unit automatically switches an extent of the operation restriction of the mobile terminal according to an amount of a remaining time or distance until the vehicle reaches the first state.

4. The in-vehicle system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the call management unit executes communication restriction between the mobile terminal and the second terminal after a process for transmitting the information related to the restriction is finished.

5. The in-vehicle system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information related to automated driving is information demanding the driver to take over driving from the vehicle performing automated driving.
