Abstract

Music information is output to an operator, such as a vehicle operator, through the use of a portable electronic device. The operator's behavior may be determined on the basis of data received from one or more systems of a moving object which is being controlled or otherwise operated by the operator. One or more individual pieces (or playlists) of music may be respectively stored as music information, for example, corresponding to different detected behaviors or moods of the operator and/or the operation conditions.
