First Claim
Patent Images
1. An on-vehicle electronic apparatus comprising:
- driving state detection means for detecting a driving state of an automobile;
physical condition detecting means for detecting physical conditions of a driver;
positional information collection means for collecting positional information about said automobile;
decision means for statistically deciding information output from said driving state detecting means and said positional information collecting means and said physical condition detecting means;
notification means for notifying said driver of said automobile of said statistically decided information output from said decision means; and
control means for selecting a specific piece of music for playing by said notification means based on a particular detected physical condition of said driver.

Abstract
This invention provides an on-vehicle electronic apparatus for making an automobile reach its destination in a relatively short time and preventing its driver from getting bored. A central processing unit statistically determines positional information obtained from the map information read from a mass storage unit and the information obtained from a GPS antenna for example and notifies the driver of the resultant information through a speaker or a image display unit. The novel constitution can change the planned routes to a destination and the timings of navigation to a planned route.
