Abstract:
1. A vehicular communication apparatus communicably connected to a portable communication terminal, comprising: an information acquisition device that acquires facility information about a facility from the portable communication terminal; an information storage device that controls a storage to store the facility information, which is obtained from the portable communication terminal by the information acquisition device, in association with the portable communication terminal; and an information display device that controls a display to display the facility information stored in the storage when the portable communication terminal providing the facility information stored in the storage is reconnected to the vehicular communication apparatus, and that controls the display not to display the facility information stored in the storage when a new portable communication terminal different from the portable communication terminal providing the facility information is connected to the vehicular communication apparatus; an information update device that updates the facility information stored in the storage; and an information update allowance device that allows and disallows the information update device to update the facility information, wherein the information storage device controls the storage to store the facility information in association with identification information of the portable communication terminal, wherein the information storage device controls the storage to store the facility information, which is acquired by the information acquisition device from only one portable communication terminal, wherein the information display device determines whether a connected portable communication terminal has same identification information as the identification information stored in the storage, wherein the information display device controls the display to display the facility information stored in the storaqe when the information display device determines that the connected portable communication terminal has the same identification information as the identification information stored in the storage, wherein the information display device controls the display not to display the facility information stored in the storage when the information display device determines that the connected portable communication terminal does not have the same identification information as the identification information stored in the storage, and wherein, when the new portable communication terminal different from the portable communication terminal providing the facility information stored in the storage is connected to the vehicular communication apparatus, the information update allowance device allows the information update device to update the facility information so that the information acquisition device acquires new facility information from the new portable communication terminal, and the information update device updates the facility information stored in the storage to the new facility information acquired from the new portable communication terminal by the information acquisition device.
