First Claim
1. An object management apparatus comprising:
- a destination-oriented object-list storage section for storing therein a list of necessary objects depending on a destination;
a destination setting section for setting the destination for travel of a vehicle;
an object detector for detecting objects carried by the vehicle;
a missing-object determination section for determining a list of necessary objects based on a genre associated with the destination set by said destination setting section and for comparing the objects detected by said object detector with the determined list to determine whether any object included in the list is missing or not; and
a missing-object notification section for providing a notice when an object is determined to be missing by said missing-object determination section;
wherein said missing-object notification section provides the notice by displaying a list of the missing objects, and the missing-object list included in the notice provided by said missing-object notification section includes information indicative of a degree of necessity of each of the missing objects.
