Original Abstract Submitted

An in-vehicle radio device includes a memory storing a program, a processor coupled to the memory and performing processing by executing the program, and an antenna configured to receive radio signals. The program includes deriving preference information of a user based on service channel selection history of the user, calculating information indicating a size of a reception area for each of a plurality of services that are selectable by the radio signals received by the antenna, extracting one or more services recommended from the plurality of services that are selectable by the radio signals received by the antenna, based on the preference information and the information indicating the size of the reception area, and displaying the one or more extracted services on a screen.
