First Claim
1. An on-vehicle apparatus connected to a terminal device having an application for transmitting to a message management system, location information representing a position of the terminal device together with message information, the message management system configured to receive the message information from the terminal device on a predetermined network and provide the received message information to other terminal devices, the on-vehicle apparatus comprising:
- a first area determination unit configured to determine whether the position of the terminal device corresponding to the location information is included in a predetermined first area; and
a posting controller configured to ban assignment of the location information before the message information is transmitted to the message management system, when the first area determination unit determines that the position of the terminal device is included in the first area.

Abstract
An on-vehicle apparatus system and a terminal device protect personal information and location information readable from message information viewed by others. The on-vehicle apparatus, which is included in a vehicle and which is connected to the terminal device, includes an application for transmitting location information representing a position of the terminal device along with message information, to a message management system, and includes a first area determination unit which determines whether the position of the terminal device represented by the location information is included in a predetermined first area, and a posting controller, which bans assignment of the location information performed before the message information is transmitted to the message management system by the application, when the first area determination unit determines that the position of the terminal device is included in the first area.
