Specifically, the event information specifying unit 406 sets the display coordinates of the walking facility within the predetermined time (for example, within 10 seconds) from the display of the event information by the processing of S006 based on the information acquired from the input receiving unit 402. It is determined whether or not a predetermined position on the corresponding touch panel 51 has been touched. If the touch on the icon is not accepted (No in step S007), the event information specifying unit 406 returns the process to step S001 to specify the event information to be displayed. The output processing unit 403 maintains the current display screen 520 until the event information to be displayed is specified.
