1. A vehicle-mounted information displaying device comprising:
an input unit that receives operations from a user;
a movement state evaluating unit that evaluates a state of driving of a vehicle;
a display information generating unit that generates screen information including a plurality of user interface elements to be displayed on a display of the vehicle-mounted information displaying device, based on a layout selected from predetermined layouts according to the state of driving of the vehicle; and
an operation detecting unit that detects the operations on each of the user interface elements, and counts a frequency of the operations on each of the user interface elements in a period that the state of driving is traveling and not when the vehicle is stopped, wherein
the display information generating unit generates the screen information based on a basic layout displaying a first predetermined number of the user interface elements when the vehicle is stopped,
the display information generating unit generates the screen information based on a travel layout when the vehicle is traveling displaying preferentially a second predetermined number of user interface elements with higher frequencies of the operations and less than the first predetermined number on the display;
the display information generating unit generates displays the user interface elements in the travel layout in sizes that are larger than in the screen information based on the basic layout,
the display information generating unit generates the screen information which divides the display into a plurality of divided areas, each of the divided areas are assigned to display a different predetermined function,
the input unit receives an operation to change a plurality of sizes of the divided areas,
the display information generating unit displays a user interface element, which was not displayed prior to the change of the sizes of the divided areas, in the divided area enlarged by the change of its size, and
the operation detecting unit counts the frequency of the operations for each of the user interface elements.
