ABSTRACT:
In an ETC on-vehicle device (1), notification of toll amount information is given with a sound production pattern of a buzzer (17). The toll information resulting from toll collection being conducted with a road antenna is converted to a sound production pattern by a CPU (11). For example, if the toll is 12,300 yen, the buzzer (17) sounds once with a long sound, twice with a middle sound, and three times with a short sound.
