wherein the attachment target device is provided in a vehicle,
wherein the operation mode is:
a first operation mode corresponding to use of the terminal device by a passenger of the vehicle other than a driver of the vehicle; or
a second operation mode corresponding to use of the terminal device by the driver,
wherein the controller switches the operation mode to the first operation mode in a case where the terminal device is in a non-attachment state with respect to the attachment target device and the communication is established, and
