An information acquisition interface acquires traveling condition information on a vehicle. A control interface causes a display interface to display the content when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface indicates an automatic driving level equal to or higher than a threshold value or causes the display interface to display information on traveling-based restriction when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface does not indicate an automatic driving level equal to or higher than the threshold value. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A vehicle-mounted apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising: a content acquisition interface that acquires a content; a display interface capable of displaying the content acquired by the content acquisition interface; an information acquisition interface that acquires traveling condition information on the vehicle; and a control interface that causes the display interface to display the content when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface indicates an automatic driving level equal to or higher than a threshold value or causes the display interface to display information on traveling-based restriction when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface does not indicate an automatic driving level equal to or higher than the threshold value. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The vehicle-mounted apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the content acquisition interface acquires the content executed in an information terminal apparatus through communication. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The vehicle-mounted apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface includes a value of the automatic driving level from an automatic driving ECU. ### Claim 4 A vehicle-mounted apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising: a content acquisition interface that acquires a content; a display interface capable of displaying the content acquired by the content acquisition interface; an information acquisition interface that acquires traveling condition information on the vehicle; and a control interface that causes the display interface to display the content when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface does not indicate that the vehicle is traveling or causes the display interface to display information on traveling-based restriction when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface indicates that the vehicle is traveling, wherein when the control interface receives an instruction to display the content, the control interface causes the display interface to display, before the content is displayed, a notice to indicate that the information on traveling-based restriction will be displayed when the vehicle is driven, even if the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface does not indicate that the vehicle is traveling. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The vehicle-mounted apparatus according to claim 4, wherein when, after the information on traveling-based restriction is displayed, the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface no longer shows that the vehicle is traveling, the display interface displays a screen to allow a user to select whether to display the content from the start or display the content from where it was suspended. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The vehicle-mounted apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the content acquisition interface acquires the content executed in an information terminal apparatus through communication. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The vehicle-mounted apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface includes a value of the automatic driving level from an automatic driving ECU. ### Claim 8 A vehicle-mounted system comprising: a vehicle-mounted apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle; and an information terminal capable of communicating with the vehicle-mounted apparatus, wherein the vehicle-mounted apparatus includes: a content acquisition interface that acquires a content executed in the information terminal; a display interface capable of displaying the content acquired by the content acquisition interface; an information acquisition interface that acquires traveling condition information on the vehicle; and a control interface that causes the display interface to display the content when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface does not indicate that the vehicle is traveling or causes the display interface to display information on traveling-based restriction when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface indicates that the vehicle is traveling, wherein when the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface indicates that the vehicle is traveling, the control interface notifies the information terminal that the vehicle is traveling, and when notified by the vehicle-mounted apparatus that the vehicle is traveling, the information terminal disables user operation. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The vehicle-mounted system according to claim 8, wherein when, after the information on traveling-based restriction is displayed, the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface no longer shows that the vehicle is traveling, the display interface displays a screen to allow a user to select whether to display the content from the start or display the content from where it was suspended. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The vehicle-mounted system according to claim 8, wherein the traveling condition information acquired by the information acquisition interface includes a value of the automatic driving level from an automatic driving ECU.
