What is claimed is: 1. An operational omission notification method for performing operational omission notification to a terminal unit of a user of a vehicle when the user forgets to operate an equipment of the vehicle after the vehicle has been parked, the method comprising: receiving, using a communication device, information relating to a state of the equipment of the vehicle after the vehicle has been parked; detecting, using a notification determination unit, an operational omission of the equipment installed on the vehicle after the vehicle has been parked on the basis of the information relating to the state of the equipment received by the communication device; calculating, using the notification determination unit, a distance between the vehicle and the terminal unit and determining whether the distance is more than a predetermined threshold; determining, using the notification determination unit, whether the vehicle is parked in a facility for servicing the vehicle; and notifying the terminal unit of the operational omission when it is determined that the vehicle is not parked within the facility for servicing the vehicle and the distance between the vehicle and the terminal unit is more than the predetermined threshold. 2. An operational omission notification system for performing operational omission notification to a terminal unit of a user of a vehicle when the user forgets to operate an equipment of the vehicle after the vehicle has been parked, the system comprising: a communication device that receives information relating to a state of the equipment of the vehicle after the vehicle has been parked; and a notification determination unit that detects an operational omission on the basis of the information relating to the state of the equipment received by the communication device, determines whether a distance between the vehicle and the terminal unit is more than a predetermined threshold, determines whether the vehicle is parked in a facility for servicing the vehicle, and when it is determined that the vehicle is not parked within the facility for servicing the vehicle and the distance between the vehicle and the terminal unit exceeds the predetermined threshold, determines to notify the terminal unit of the user of the operational omission.
