The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings, embodiments and specific examples. The following description is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In a specific embodiment, the components of the apparatus may be changed, deleted or added according to the actual situation, and the steps of the method may be changed, deleted, added or added according to the actual situation. In the drawings, the size, direction, and the like are merely illustrative, and may be changed according to actual conditions.
(first embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. First, an electronic device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The electronic device 1 is, for example, an external or internal navigation device disposed in a vehicle, or a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone having a destination setting function. In the case where the electronic apparatus 1 is a navigation apparatus, for example, a guidance route from the current position to the destination can be generated based on map data according to the current position of the vehicle and the set destination. In order to achieve the above-described functions, the electronic apparatus 1 may have: a vehicle positioning unit that determines the current position of the vehicle from a GPS positioning signal or the like, a storage unit that stores map data, and a route generation unit that generates a guidance route. In the present application, the above-described functions and structures of the electronic device 1 are not described or illustrated in detail.
The electronic apparatus 1 can utilize a plurality of applications (applications) by executing an application program by a processor, for example. The electronic device 1 can use an application installed in the device, or can use an application installed in another device (for example, a portable terminal). In the case of using an application installed on another device, it may be realized by smart interconnection technology such as Carlife or Carplay.
Elements of the electronic device 1 pertaining to the present embodiment and related to the features of the present application will be specifically described below. Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which arrows indicate directions of operation or data transmission. As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 1 of the present embodiment includes a destination setting unit 10, a destination type acquisition unit 20, an application type determination unit 30, and a priority application determination unit 40. The above-described portions of the electronic apparatus 1 may be implemented by a dedicated processor or an integrated circuit, or may be implemented by a general-purpose processor executing a program stored in a memory. Specific elements of the electronic device 1 of the present embodiment are specifically described below.
The destination setting unit 10 is used for setting a destination. For example, the destination setting unit 10 may be configured to input a destination by touching a user using a touch panel, may be configured to receive a voice input from a user using a microphone, and may recognize the destination, and the like, and is not limited thereto. The destination setting unit 10 may acquire the address of the destination from the destination name input by the user based on the map data stored in the electronic device 1, or may acquire the name of the destination from the destination address input by the user.
The destination type acquisition unit 20 acquires the destination type of the destination set by the destination setting unit 10. The location type indicates a type of a function, use, or the like of a location. For example, in the case where the place name is "a restaurant", the place type thereof is "restaurant". When the location name is "company B", the location type is "office place". The destination type acquisition unit 20 may acquire the type of the place at the certain place based on the map data stored in the electronic device 1, or may acquire the type of the place at the certain place in real time via data communication with an external device.
The application type specifying unit 30 specifies an application type corresponding to the destination point type acquired by the destination type acquiring unit 20. The application type indicates a type of function, use, or the like of a certain application. For example, in the case where the application name is "restaurant discount", the application type thereof is "restaurant". In the case where the application name is "mail", the application type thereof is "business". The application type specifying unit 30 may acquire the application type corresponding to the destination location type based on the correspondence between the location type and the application type stored in the electronic device 1, or may acquire the application type corresponding to the destination location type in real time via data communication with an external device.
The priority application determining section 40 determines an application having the application type determined by the application type determining section 30 as a priority application. The application type of the application may be preset by a developer of the application, may be set and updated by an application platform such as a issuer of the application, or may be defined by a user of the electronic device 1. Alternatively, the priority application determination unit 40 may directly determine the type of the application based on the function, name, or the like of the application. In this way, the priority application specifying unit 40 obtains the application types of the applications available to the electronic device 1, and selects, as the priority application, an application having an application type corresponding to the destination point type from among the applications. The "application that can be used in the electronic apparatus 1" is not limited to an application that is installed in the electronic apparatus 1, but may be an application that is installed in another apparatus (for example, a portable terminal) and can be used in the electronic apparatus 1 by a technology such as smart interconnection, or may be an application that can be downloaded by the electronic apparatus 1 or another apparatus (for example, a portable terminal).
According to the electronic device 1 of the present embodiment, among a plurality of applications available on the electronic device 1, it is possible to accurately specify an application that a user desires to use. In particular, when the number of applications available on the electronic apparatus 1 is large, the user can quickly find the application that the user desires to use by determining the application that has a high possibility of being used as the priority application. In addition, in the case where the electronic device 1 is a navigation device or the like of a vehicle, it is possible to reduce the time taken for the user to select an application, and to improve the driving safety of the user.
Next, a preferred application determination method performed by the electronic apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described, and a specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to the preferred application determination method. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the priority application determination method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The flow of fig. 2 is executed when the electronic apparatus 1 receives a setting of a destination, for example. The following step S101 is an example of a destination setting step, step S102 is an example of a destination type acquisition step, step S103 is an example of an application type determination step, and steps S104 and S105 are examples of priority application determination steps.
As shown in fig. 2, in step S101, the destination setting unit 10 sets a destination. For example, the destination setting unit 10 sets "a restaurant" as the destination based on the voice input of the user.
Next, in step S102, the destination type acquisition unit 20 acquires the destination type of the destination set in step S101. For example, the destination type acquisition unit 20 acquires the destination location type as "restaurant".
Next, in step S103, the application type specifying unit 30 specifies an application type corresponding to the destination location type acquired in step S102. For example, the application type determining unit 30 determines that the application type corresponding to the destination location type "restaurant" is "restaurant".
Next, in step S104, the priority application determining unit 40 determines whether or not the electronic device 1 has an application having the determined application type. For example, the priority application determining section 40 determines whether or not the electronic apparatus 1 has an application having an application category "restaurant".
If it is determined in step S104 that no application having the application type "restaurant" exists, the flow is ended. If it is determined in step S104 that there is an application having the application type "restaurant", step S105 is executed, and the priority application determining unit 40 determines the application having the determined application type as a priority application. For example, the priority application determination section 40 determines the application "restaurant discount" and "restaurant group purchase" having the application category "restaurant" as the priority application. The priority application may be prompted to the user, for example, by means of a display or voice output.
In step S104, the priority application determining unit 40 may determine whether or not there is not only an application having the determined application type among applications installed on the electronic apparatus 1, but also an application having the determined application type among applications installed on other apparatuses that can be used by the electronic apparatus 1 and/or applications that can be downloaded by the electronic apparatus 1.
(second embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. In this embodiment, generation and display of an application selection screen are added to the first embodiment. The differences of the present embodiment from the first embodiment will be mainly described below, and the description of the same or similar matters as those of the first embodiment will be omitted.
First, the structure of the electronic device 1A of the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 3 is a block diagram of an electronic device 1A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 1A according to the first embodiment is added with a screen generating unit 50 and a display unit 60.
The screen generating unit 50 generates an application selection screen including characters and/or icons corresponding to applications. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing specific example 1 of an application selection screen before and after inputting a destination according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The upper half of fig. 4 shows an application selection screen before inputting a destination. As shown in the upper half of fig. 4, in the application selection screen, icons corresponding to applications such as "USB", "navigation", and the like are arranged in a predetermined order. In addition, the application selection screen may include an application list in which characters corresponding to names of respective applications are arranged in a predetermined order. The predetermined order in which the applications are arranged before the input of the destination may be a default order, an order set by the user, or an order adjusted in real time according to the frequency of use or the latest time of use of the applications.
In the application selection screen, the screen generating unit 50 displays characters and/or icons corresponding to the priority application preferentially over characters and/or icons corresponding to other applications. The lower half of fig. 4 shows an application selection screen after inputting a destination. As shown in the lower half of fig. 4, after the destination "a restaurant" is entered, "restaurant discounts" and "restaurant group purchases" determined to be preferentially applied in the first embodiment are preferentially displayed. As an example, comparing the upper and lower parts of fig. 4, the order of arrangement of the priority applications is advanced in each application compared with other applications.
The display unit 60 displays the application selection screen generated by the screen generating unit 50. Here, the display unit 60 may be a display included in the electronic apparatus 1, or may be a display signal output from the electronic apparatus 1, and the application selection screen may be displayed by a HUD (head up display) or a center control display.
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing specific example 2 of an application selection screen before and after inputting a destination according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The upper half of fig. 5 represents an application selection screen before the destination is input, and the lower half of fig. 5 represents an application selection screen after the destination is input. After the destination "B company" is input, the application "mail" and the "schedule" having the application category "business" corresponding to the location category "office place" are highlighted. As an example, as shown in the lower half of fig. 5, icons corresponding to applications "mail" and "schedule" are given a shadow display. The mode of highlighting is not limited to this, and highlighting may be performed by different colors, brightness, frames, icon sizes, character sizes, or the like. In addition, the above specific examples 1 and 2 may be combined, and the emphasis display may be performed while changing the arrangement order of the priority application.
According to the electronic device 1A of the present embodiment, it is possible to present the user with an application having a high possibility of use in an intuitive manner on the application selection screen, and the convenience is further improved.
(third embodiment)
A third embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. In this embodiment, the storage location type data is added to any of the above embodiments. The differences between the present embodiment and any of the above embodiments are emphasized below, and the description of the same or similar matters as those of any of the above embodiments is omitted in the present embodiment. Further, an example of modification of the first embodiment will be described below.
First, the structure of the electronic device 1B of the present embodiment will be described.

As shown in fig. 6, the electronic device 1B further includes a location type storage unit 70 in addition to the electronic device 1 of the first embodiment.
The location type storage unit 70 stores location type data in which locations and location types are associated. The location type storage unit 70 may be implemented by a nonvolatile memory included in the electronic device 1B, such as a flash memory, a hard disk memory, or a ROM.
The location type data stored in the location type storage unit 70 may be, for example, map data, or a correspondence table of locations and location types. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a point-to-point type correspondence table according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 7, the spot "a restaurant" corresponds to the spot category "restaurant", and the spot "B company" corresponds to the spot category "office". The "C zoo" corresponds to the "child place" and "sightseeing place" of the place types, that is, one place may correspond to a plurality of place types. The destination type acquisition unit 20 acquires the destination type of the destination set by the destination setting unit 10 based on the above-described destination type data.
Thus, the destination point type can be acquired quickly by using the point type data stored in the electronic device 1B, and stability can be ensured without being affected by the network communication condition.

The correspondence relation storage unit 80 stores a correspondence relation in which the location type and the application type are associated. The correspondence relation storage unit 80 may be implemented by a nonvolatile memory included in the electronic device 1C, such as a flash memory, a hard disk memory, or a ROM.
The correspondence stored in the correspondence storage unit 80 is, for example, a correspondence table. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a correspondence table according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 9, the place category "restaurant" corresponds to the application category "restaurant", the place category "office" corresponds to the application category "business", and the place category "child place" corresponds to the application category "child". In addition, the place category "sightseeing place" corresponds to the application category "ticket offer" and "scenic spot introduction", or the like, that is, one place category may correspond to a plurality of application categories. Of course, one application category may correspond to a plurality of location categories. The application type specifying unit 30 specifies the application type corresponding to the destination point type acquired by the destination type acquiring unit 20 based on the correspondence relation as described above.
Thus, the application type corresponding to the destination location type is acquired by using the correspondence relation stored in the electronic device 1C, and the application type can be quickly determined, and the stability is ensured without being affected by the network communication condition.

The external device is, for example, a mobile terminal, a server, or the like, and the data transmission unit 90 may be a wired transmission system such as USB, or a wireless transmission system such as bluetooth or network communication.
A specific example of the priority application determination method executed by the electronic device 1D of the present embodiment will be described below. Fig. 11 is a flowchart of a specific example 1 of a priority application determination method according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
When the destination is set by the destination setting unit 10 in step S101, step S201 is executed, and the data transmission unit 90 of the electronic apparatus 1D transmits a destination type acquisition request to the external device. The destination type acquisition request may request the external device to transmit the correspondence between the location and the location type. Alternatively, the destination type acquisition request requests the external device to transmit the set destination and requests the external device to transmit the destination type.
Next, the external device (for example, a mobile terminal or a server) executes step S202 to transmit feedback information to the electronic apparatus 1D. The feedback information may be different depending on the content of the destination type acquisition request of the electronic device 1D, and may be transmitted in association with the destination type of the destination or may be transmitted directly.
Next, the destination type obtaining unit 20 of the electronic device 1D obtains the destination type of the destination set by the destination setting unit 10 based on the feedback information of the external device. The subsequent steps S103 to S105 are the same as those described in the first embodiment by using fig. 2, and are not described here.
Thus, by acquiring the destination location type from the external device in real time, the electronic device 1D does not need to store location type data, and can reduce the required storage capacity, acquire the location type updated by the external device in real time, and ensure timeliness of the location type.
Fig. 12 is a flowchart of a specific example 2 of a priority application determination method according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The steps S101 to S102 are the same as those described in the first embodiment by using fig. 2, and are not described here.
When the destination type acquisition unit 20 acquires the destination type in step S102, the data transmission unit 90 of the electronic apparatus 1D executes step S203 to transmit an application type determination request to the external device. The application type determination request may request the external device to transmit the correspondence between the location type of the destination and the application type. Alternatively, the application type determination requests the external device to transmit the acquired destination location type, and requests the external device to transmit an application type corresponding to the destination location type.
Next, the external device (for example, a mobile terminal or a server) executes step S204 to transmit feedback information to the electronic apparatus 1D. The feedback information may be different depending on the content of the application type determination request of the electronic device 1D, and may be transmitted in association with the application type, or may be directly transmitted in association with the application type.
Next, the application type specifying unit 30 of the electronic device 1D specifies the application type corresponding to the destination location type based on the feedback information of the external device. The subsequent steps S104 to S105 are the same as those described in the first embodiment by using fig. 2, and are not described here.
Thus, by determining the application type corresponding to the destination location type from the external device in real time, the electronic device 1D does not need to store the correspondence relation between the location type and the application type, and can reduce the required storage capacity, acquire the application type corresponding to the real-time update of the external device, and ensure timeliness of the application type.
The above-described specific example 1 of the present embodiment may be combined with the fourth embodiment. That is, the electronic device obtains the destination point type through data transfer with the external device, and then determines the application type corresponding to the destination point type through the correspondence relationship stored therein.
Alternatively, the above-described specific example 2 of the present embodiment may be combined with the third embodiment. That is, the electronic device obtains the destination point type from the internally stored point type data, and then determines the application type corresponding to the destination point type from the data transfer to the external device.
Alternatively, both of the above-described specific examples 1 and 2 of the present embodiment may be combined. Furthermore, both of the above-described specific examples 1 and 2 of the present embodiment may be combined with both of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment. For example, the above-described specific examples 1 and 2 of the present embodiment are applied to the case where the data transmission condition of the data transmission unit 90 is normal, the destination point type is acquired by data transmission with the external device, and the application type corresponding to the destination point type is determined, and the third and fourth embodiments are applied to the case where the data transmission condition of the data transmission unit 90 is poor or disconnected, the destination point type is acquired by the internally stored point type data, and the application type corresponding to the destination point type is determined by the internally stored correspondence relation.
(sixth embodiment)
A sixth embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. In this embodiment, priority application recommendation downloading is added to any of the above embodiments. The differences between the present embodiment and any of the above embodiments are emphasized below, and the description of the same or similar matters as those of any of the above embodiments is omitted in the present embodiment. Further, an example of modification of the first embodiment will be described below.
First, the structure of the electronic device 1E of the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 13 is a block diagram of an electronic device 1E according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 13, the electronic device 1E further includes a priority application detecting unit 100 and a priority application recommendation downloading unit 110 in addition to the electronic device 1 of the first embodiment.
The priority application detecting section 100 detects whether the priority application determined by the priority application determining section 40 is currently available on the electronic apparatus 1E. The electronic device 1E may be used by being mounted on the electronic device 1E, or may be used by being mounted on a portable device, for example, and by being mounted on the electronic device 1E by smart interconnection technology such as Carlife or Carplay.
The priority application recommendation downloading unit 110 recommends the user to download the priority application when the priority application detecting unit 100 detects that the priority application is currently unavailable in the electronic apparatus 1E. For example, the priority application recommendation downloading unit 110 may recommend that the user download the priority application to the electronic apparatus 1E, or recommend that the user download the priority application to the portable device and use the priority application on the electronic apparatus 1E by using an intelligent interconnection technology such as Carlife or Carplay.
Thus, in the case where the priority application is currently unavailable to the electronic apparatus 1E, by recommending the user to download the priority application, the user can be prevented from searching for the application by himself and performing a complicated download operation.
In addition, in the case where the present embodiment is modified from the second embodiment or the like, the screen generating unit 50 of the present embodiment may display characters/icons of the application recommended for download by the priority application recommendation downloading unit 110 in a unique display manner on the application selection screen so as to recommend the user for download. For example, an icon or the like recommending a downloaded application may be displayed with a dashed border. Alternatively, the user may be prompted in text or voice to download the priority application to the application store. Thus, the user can easily recognize the priority application of the recommended download, and convenience is further improved.
(seventh embodiment)
A seventh embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. In this embodiment, the number of application types corresponding to the location type is increased in addition to any of the above embodiments. The differences between the present embodiment and any of the above embodiments are emphasized below, and the description of the same or similar matters as those of any of the above embodiments is omitted in the present embodiment. The structure of the electronic device of this embodiment may be the same as that of any of the above embodiments, and will not be described here.
Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the preferential application of the seventh embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 14, in the case where the destination is "C zoo", the place category of the destination includes "child place" and "sightseeing place". The place category "child place" corresponds to the application category "child", and the place category "sightseeing place" corresponds to the application category "ticket offer" and "attraction introduction". That is, there are a plurality of application types corresponding to the destination point type. In this case, the priority application determining unit 40 determines an application having at least one of the plurality of application types as a priority application, and assigns priorities to the plurality of application types, respectively, thereby assigning priorities to the plurality of priority applications, respectively.
In the example of fig. 14, the priority application determining unit 40 determines applications (nursery rhyme play, baby carriage lease, ticket reservation, and scenic spot information) having application categories such as "child", "ticket offer", and "scenic spot introduction", as priority applications, and gives priority to the application categories such as "child", "ticket offer", and "scenic spot introduction", respectively. Here, priority may be given to the application type according to the use frequency, use urgency, and the like of the application type. For example, since the application type "child" has the highest urgency of use, the priority application determining section 40 gives the highest priority to the application type "child". In this way, applications "nursery rhyme play" and "bassinet rental" are given high priority, facilitating the user's selection of these applications that are urgently needed for utilization.
Thus, when there are a plurality of application types corresponding to the destination point type, it is possible to further facilitate the user in selecting an application of an application type having a high possibility of being used by giving priority to the plurality of application types.
(eighth embodiment)
An eighth embodiment of the present invention is specifically described. The present embodiment further describes a case of using an application installed in another device such as a mobile terminal, in addition to any of the above embodiments. The differences between the present embodiment and any of the above embodiments are emphasized below, and the description of the same or similar matters as those of any of the above embodiments is omitted in the present embodiment. Further, an example of modification of the first embodiment will be described below.
First, the priority application determination system of the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 15 is a block diagram of the configuration of a priority application determination system according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 15, the priority application determination system of the present embodiment includes an electronic device 1 and a portable terminal 2. The electronic device 1 and the portable terminal 2 are connected by an intelligent interconnection technology such as Carlife, carplay. By wired or wireless connection based on these technologies, applications installed in the mobile terminal 2 such as a smart phone can be directly utilized in the electronic device 1 such as a navigation device of a vehicle.
However, in the portable terminal 2 such as a smart phone, a large number of applications are generally installed and utilized. In the operating environment of the portable terminal 2, even if there is no problem in selecting a desired application from among a large number of applications, in the case of using the portable terminal 2 in the electronic device 1 such as a navigation device, if it takes a lot of time for the user to select an application on the electronic device 1 side, it is very dangerous to easily cause distraction during driving. In contrast, by applying the embodiments of the present invention, the time spent by the user in selecting the application can be reduced, and the driving safety of the user can be greatly improved.
Among the applications installed in the electronic device 1 and/or the applications installed in the mobile terminal 2, the priority application determining unit 40 of the electronic device 1 may determine an application having the application type determined by the application type determining unit 30 as a priority application. One specific example is described below. Fig. 16 is a diagram showing a specific example of an application selection screen before and after inputting a destination according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 16, on the application selection screen of the electronic apparatus 1, the application mounted on the electronic apparatus 1 is indicated by a thick frame, and the application mounted on the portable terminal 2 is indicated by a thin frame. After setting the destination "a restaurant", the application "restaurant discount" of the application type "restaurant" installed in the electronic apparatus 1 and the application "restaurant group purchase" of the application type "restaurant" installed in the portable terminal 2 are determined as priority applications, and the arrangement order thereof is advanced.
In this way, when the electronic device 1 uses an application installed in another device such as the mobile terminal 2, it is possible to determine a priority application for both the application installed in the electronic device 1 itself and the application installed in another device such as the mobile terminal 2, and convenience is further improved.
In the present embodiment, the electronic device 1 and the mobile terminal 2 may determine a priority application among the applications installed in the respective devices according to the set destination. At this time, both the electronic apparatus 1 and the portable terminal 2 can be regarded as the electronic apparatus in the present invention.
The above description of the embodiments and examples of the present invention makes reference to the accompanying drawings. The foregoing embodiments and examples are merely specific examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications, combinations, and reasonable omissions of the elements and the embodiments based on the technical ideas of the present invention, and the manner in which they are obtained is also included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the above embodiments and specific examples may be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention.
The steps included in the priority application determining method according to the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as steps included in the priority application determining program or as a recording medium in which the priority application determining program is recorded, and similar technical effects are obtained.
