The setting information S _3, for example, the control unit 18 determines that the registration operation is performed based on the registration read information S _1, obtained by requesting the output setting information S ₃ to the vehicle control unit 22.

The vehicle setting table generation unit 16, for example, if the reading operation of the vehicle settings are made, reads the registration of the vehicle settings indicated by the identification information S ₂ to the control unit 18 is outputted from the vehicle setting table 160, the vehicle configuration information and outputs it as S _4.

Here vehicle setting table generation unit 16, if the operator were unregistered party, at least part generates a set group is not in the initial setting described above, and outputs it as vehicle setting information S _4. The setting of each item of the unregistered person in the vehicle setting table 160 shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to this setting group.

  Specifically, the vehicle setting table generation unit 16 calculates an average for each setting registered in the vehicle setting table 160 and generates a setting group.

  More specifically, for example, in the case of the tilt position of the steering adjustment device 24, the vehicle setting table generation unit 16 sets the registrant A as “5”, the registrant B as “3”, and the registrant C as “4”. Therefore, the average of these three is calculated, and “4” is set as the tilt position of the unregistered person.

  Further, for example, in the case of the image range of the vehicle surrounding imaging device 30, the vehicle setting table generation unit 16 has the registrant A as “omnidirectional”, the registrant B as “omnidirectional”, and the registrant C as “rearward”. As an average of the three, “omnidirectional” is set as the setting of the imaging range of the unregistered person. Note that the vehicle setting table generation unit 16 sets the average of the types that are set in many cases when a value other than a numerical value is set as in the above-mentioned “omnidirectional”.

  Further, in the setting other than the numerical value, when the registered setting type is an even number and the average cannot be calculated, the vehicle setting table generation unit 16 calculates the average by using the initial setting of the setting as the setting type as an odd number. To generate a setting group. Examples of settings other than numerical values include function ON / OFF, simple menu, standard menu, and detailed menu. For example, when the shuffle which is the setting of the music playback device 44 is registered as ON, ON, OFF, OFF, the vehicle setting table generation unit 16 calculates the average with the setting type (ON and OFF) being an even number. Therefore, using the initial setting OFF of this setting, the average is turned OFF to generate a setting group of unregistered persons.

(Configuration of control unit 18)
The control unit 18 is a microcomputer composed of, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that performs operations and processes on acquired data according to a stored program, a RAM that is a semiconductor memory, a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. is there.

  As an example, the control unit 18 determines in advance the similarity between the feature points of the fingerprint pattern of the operator based on the biometric information 100 and the feature points of the fingerprint pattern of the registrant registered in the registered biometric information 120. If the threshold value is larger than the identification threshold value 180, the operator is identified as a registrant.

  The feature points are, for example, four points called a center point, a branch point, an end point, and a delta. The center point is a point that becomes the center of the fingerprint pattern. A branch point is a point where the ridges of the fingerprint are branched. An end point is a point where a ridge is broken. A delta is a collection of ridges from three directions. The control unit 18 performs collation based on the position of the feature points, the distance between the feature points, and the like, and calculates the similarity.

The vehicle control unit 22 generates individual setting information S ₃₀ to individual setting information S ₄₁ that are setting information for each in-vehicle device based on the acquired vehicle setting information S ₄ , and the corresponding in-vehicle device via the vehicle LAN 20. Output. The in-vehicle device changes to the setting registered by the registrant based on the individual setting information corresponding to itself.

  As a modification, the identification unit may be configured to identify a registrant by acquiring a face image by imaging the operator's face and comparing it with the registrant's face image. In the case of this configuration, for example, a face image is generated when the operator performs a registration operation, and is stored in the vehicle setting table 160 together with the vehicle settings.

  As another modification, the identification unit may be configured to identify the registrant by the registration reading unit 14. In the case of this configuration, for example, when the reading operation is not performed within a predetermined time after the start switch 5 is operated, the operator is identified as an unregistered person.
