Abstract
An electronic system has (i) an information outputting apparatus having an output device for outputting a content information including at least one of an audio information and a video information and (ii) a navigation apparatus having an input device for inputting a destination in a movement of a movable body and a calculate device for calculating a necessary time length required for the movable body to arrive at the destination. A controlling apparatus is provided with: a selecting device for selecting the content information to be outputted during the movement of the movable body until the arrival at the destination, on the basis of an output time length information indicative of a time length required to output the content information, in response to the calculated necessary time length; and an output controlling device for controlling the output device so as to output the content information selected by the selecting device.
