Abstract
A vehicular terminal receives an input of a condition via an input unit, such that the input may be performed via manual operation or voice recognition. An input restriction function restricts a reception of the condition by manual operation during vehicle travel. The vehicular terminal determines whether an input reception restriction function is in effect during the reception of the condition by manual operation via the input unit. When it is determined that the input reception restriction function is in, the vehicular terminal switches an input method for reception of the input of the condition from manual operation to voice recognition, thereby allowing a continuous reception of the condition.
