To appropriately provide information for safe driving in accordance with an attention state of a driver.
An attention object detection part 3 for detecting an object to which attention should be given on the basis of a signal measured by an input part 2 extracts one or more object which is not immediately dangerous but to which attention should be given. Signals of brain waves measured by a living body signal detection part 4 attached to the driver 1 are analyzed and an amount of attention is estimated by an attention amount estimation part 5. In an information decision part 6, it is decided which information is to be presented to the driver 1 among objects detected by the attention object detection part 3 on the basis of the attention amount obtained by the attention amount estimation part 5. For example, when an attention amount of the driver 1 decreases, presentation of many objects disturbs driving, so that control is performed in order to decrease the number of displayed objects.
