Abstract

A terminal device that includes a first execution unit that executes a first application having a navigation function for a user in a vehicle, and a second execution unit that executes a second application having a transmission function and a reception function of a message, and the second execution unit automatically replies to the message in cooperation with the first application in a case where the second execution unit receives the message to the second application while the vehicle is being driven.

Claims

1. A terminal device comprising:

a first execution unit that executes a first application having a navigation function for a user in a vehicle; and

a second execution unit that executes a second application having a transmission function and a reception function of a message, wherein

the second execution unit automatically replies to the message in cooperation with a first information processing device that controls operation of the first execution unit and/or the first application, when the second execution unit receives the message to the second application while the vehicle is being driven.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit acquires driving information indicating whether the vehicle is being driven, from the first execution unit through the first information processing device that controls operation of the first application and a second information processing device that controls operation of the second application, when the second execution unit receives the message, and automatically replies to the message, when the acquired driving information indicates that the vehicle is being driven.

3. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit acquires driving information indicating whether the vehicle is being driven, from the first execution unit through the first information processing device, when the second execution unit receives the message, and automatically replies to the message, when the acquired driving information indicates that the vehicle is being driven.

4. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit acquires driving information indicating whether the vehicle is being driven, from the first execution unit through a second information processing device that controls operation of the second application, when the second execution unit receives the message, and automatically replies to the message, when the acquired driving information indicates that the vehicle is being driven.

5. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit acquires driving information indicating whether the vehicle is being driven, from the first execution unit, when the second execution unit receives the message, and automatically replies to the message from the second application, when the acquired driving information indicates that the vehicle is being driven.

6. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit replies with an expected time of arrival of when the vehicle arrives at a destination, or a time required for the vehicle to arrive at the destination, from the second application, as a reply to the message.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6, wherein,

when the expected time of arrival or the time required has varied by a predetermined time or more, the second execution unit notifies that the expected time of arrival or the time required has varied to a transmission source of the message.

8. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit does not automatically reply to the message, when the vehicle is automatically being driven.

9. The terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an audio output unit that outputs the received message by an audio, when the audio output unit receives the message to the second application while the vehicle is being driven.

10. The terminal device according to claim 9, wherein

the audio output unit does not output the received message by an audio, when a fellow passenger exists in a passenger seat of the vehicle.

11. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the second execution unit changes content of an automatic reply message according to a transmission source of the received message.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to

execute a first application having a navigation function for a user in a vehicle;

execute a second application having a transmission function and a reception function of a message; and

,

when receiving the message to the second application while the vehicle is being driven, automatically reply to the message in cooperation with the first application.

13. An insurance condition determination device comprising:

a set information acquisition unit that acquires set information, when receiving, from a terminal device that executes a first application having a navigation function for a user in a vehicle and a second application having a transmission function and a reception function of a message, the message to the second application while the vehicle is being driven, the set information indicating whether an automatic reply function to automatically reply to the message in cooperation with the first application is set; and

an insurance condition determination unit that determines an insurance condition for the vehicle or the user on the basis of the set information acquired by the set information acquisition unit.
