Abstract
In an ETC on-vehicle device (1), notification of toll amount information is given with a sound production pattern of a buzzer (17). The toll information resulting from toll collection being conducted with a road antenna is converted to a sound production pattern by a CPU (11). For example, if the toll is 12,300 yen, the buzzer (17) sounds once with a long sound, twice with a middle sound, and three times with a short sound.
Claims16
An on-vehicle device including a numerical information notification function, the on-vehicle device being mounted in a vehicle and comprising:
- communication means for conducting communication with a roadside device to receive numerical information;
- a sounder for information notification;
- and
- control means for converting the numerical information received by the communication means into a sound production pattern corresponding to preset numerical values and sounding the sounder, wherein the control means is configured to give notification of the numerical information by differentiating the length of sounds per place of the numerical values as the sound production pattern causing the sounder to sound and causing the sounder to repeatedly produce sounds for the number of the numerical values of each place.
