Abstract

A use specifying unit specifies a “purpose of use” of a vehicle based on a running-data table. An application selection unit selects one or more information-related applications which are suitable for the “purpose of use”, from a plurality of information-related applications. Then, an execution inhibition unit inhibits execution of information-related applications which are not selected to be suitable for the specified purpose of the vehicle. As a result, it is possible to prevent information-related applications which are unnecessary for the “purpose of use” of the vehicle from being executed wastefully.
