1. An in-vehicle apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing a check direction table in which an unparking direction of an own vehicle, a traveling direction of a roadway, a check direction, and a detection range are registered in association with each other,
wherein the processor
determines the unparking direction of the own vehicle in which the in-vehicle apparatus is loaded;
receives positioning signals transmitted from a GPS satellite, and calculates a latitude and a longitude of the own vehicle as positional information based on the received positioning signals;
acquires parking-lot map information including information of the traveling direction of the roadway within a parking lot based on the positional information wherein the traveling direction of the roadway is orthogonal to the unparking direction of the own vehicle, and the traveling direction of the roadway is one way from a left of the unparking direction of the own vehicle, one way from a right of the unparking direction of the own vehicle, or a two-way pass;
specifies the roadway adjacent to a stall where the own vehicle is parked based on the parking-lot map information, the positional information, and the unparking direction of the own vehicle;
determines the check direction of the one way from the left or the right of the unparking direction of the own vehicle or the two-way pass for which a driver of the own vehicle needs to do a checking action for checking safety before the own vehicle enters the roadway by referring to the check direction table;
acquires direction information showing at least one of a line of sight or a facing direction of a face of the driver driving the own vehicle;
sets the detection range in the check direction by referring to the check direction table based on the check direction and determines whether or not at least one of the line of sight or the facing direction of the face of the driver is within the detection range so as to determine occurrence of the checking action;
controls a display, a speaker, or a vibrator disposed in the own vehicle to execute a notification action when determining that the checking action by the driver has not occurred;
stores, in the memory, records associating the check direction, the direction information, and occurrence information showing whether or not the notification action has occurred;
registers, in the memory, contents of the notification action when the notification action occurred, and updates accumulated value corresponding to number of records in which the direction information and check direction are the same;
detects a direction in which the driver tends to neglect checking safety when the accumulated value reaches a set value or more; and
gives an instruction to execute an action to notify the driver the direction in which the driver tends to neglect checking safety and a direction for which the driver has neglected checking safety, based on the direction in which the driver tends to neglect checking safety, wherein the direction in which the driver tends to neglect checking safety is left of the unparking direction of the own vehicle, right of the unparking direction of the own vehicle, or left and right of the unparking direction of the own vehicle.
