Abstract
A vehicle-mounted apparatus includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) reading unit for reading an RFID signal from an RFID tag attached to an article placed in a vehicle, a system controller for determining the nature of the article in the vehicle on the basis of the read RFID signal, and an user interface unit for outputting the nature. The system controller determines whether the article placed in the vehicle is dangerous or not. If the article is determined to be dangerous, the system controller outputs information for warning a user via the user interface unit.
