CENTER DEVICE, IN-VEHICLE EQUIPMENT, CONTENT INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION METHOD, CONTENT INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly reproduce content in ITS (Intelligent Transport System) in-vehicle equipment 17 which receives an information group including content and its relevant information by DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication).

SOLUTION: Relevant information includes a pre-period reproduction prohibition flag and a post-period reproduction prohibition flag in addition to a valid period. When receiving a content reproduction instruction, the valid period of the content is checked. When the current date is before or after the valid period, a pre- or post-period reproduction processing routine is executed. In the pre-period reproduction processing routine, when a pre-period reproduction prohibition flag is set, information indicating that the content cannot be reproduced because the valid period is not reached is displayed instead of the reproduction screen (S114). When the pre-period reproduction prohibition flag is not set, the reproduction screen for the content is displayed with the information showing that the valid period is not reached (S112, S113).
