1. An information service system for a vehicle comprising:
- an information-to-be-provided obtaining device for obtaining information-to-be-provided, which preliminarily includes classification information for defining an importance level and an urgency level of the information;
a plurality of information-to-be-provided output elements, which inform a user of the information with various sensory types;
an information-to-be-provided output element selecting device for properly selecting one type of or a combination of the information-to-be-provided output elements as an output source of the obtained information-to-be-provided according to contents of the classification information;
an information output controlling device for controlling the selected information-to-be-provided output elements to output the information to be provided; and
a physical and mental load detection device for detecting a physical and mental load of the user,wherein the information output elements include;
a first type information output element having at least one of an audio information output element for outputting the information to be provided with auditory sense to the user and a haptic information output element for outputting the information to be provided with haptic sense to the user;
a second type information output element having at least one of a visual information output element for outputting the information to be provided with visual sense to the user and an olfactory information output element for outputting the information to be provided with olfactory sense to the user,wherein the information-to-be-provided output element selecting device selects the first type information output element as the output source of the information to be provided when the classification information indicates urgency,wherein the information-to-be-provided output element selecting device selects the second type information output element as the output source of the information to be provided when the information-to-be-provided is not an urgency indication object, andwherein the information-to-be-provided output element selecting device prohibits to operate the audio information output element or the olfactory information output element when the physical and mental load detection device detects the physical and mental load equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold level.
