(Embodiment)
(Functional configuration of information processing device)
A functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment.

  In FIG. 1, an information processing apparatus 100 is mounted on a mobile body and can perform short-range wireless communication with a mobile phone device. And various information is acquired from a mobile telephone apparatus by this near field communication, and various processes are performed. The information processing apparatus 100 includes a setting unit 101, a detection unit 102, a detection unit 103, a control unit 104, a display unit 105, an acquisition unit 106, and a search unit 107.

  The information processing apparatus 100 is activated by supplying power from a power supply source to perform various processes. However, even when the power supply to be described later is turned off, the power is supplied when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Is continued and some or all of the various processes are performed. It should be noted that a state where a part of the various processes is performed applies to a standby state described later, and a state where all the various processes are performed corresponds to a normal state described later.

  The setting unit 101 is set to either a state during use (hereinafter referred to as “normal state”) or a state where the power is turned off (hereinafter referred to as “off state”). The normal state is a state in which, for example, a map screen or a menu screen is displayed, and various processes are performed on the input from the user. The off state is a state in which the operation is stopped by backing up the memory. Specifically, the screen display of the display unit 105 and the indicator are not turned on, and various processes are performed in response to an input from the user. Is in a state where no action is taken.

  For example, when the information processing apparatus 100 is mounted on a vehicle, power is supplied from the battery of the vehicle. Note that the information processing apparatus 100 is always supplied with backup power from a backup power supply line directly connected to a battery, and is supplied with accessory power from an accessory power supply line via an accessory power switch.

  For example, the detection unit 102 detects whether accessory power is supplied or whether accessory power is not supplied. For example, the accessory power switch is usually turned on / off by the user operating the engine key of the vehicle. The detection unit 102 detects, for example, whether an accessory power supply is supplied or an accessory power supply is not supplied based on fluctuations in the power supply voltage. In this case, the state where the accessory power is supplied is the state where the power is turned on, and the state where the accessory power is not supplied is the state where the power is turned off.

  The detection unit 103 detects a mobile phone device on a placement member on which the mobile phone device can be placed. Specifically, the mounting member is a cradle. This mounting member is an extension device. For example, by mounting a mobile phone device, the mounting member can be connected to the information processing device 100 or charged with the mobile phone device. In addition, the placement member exists around the information processing apparatus 100.

  Specifically, the detection unit 103 detects the presence / absence of the mobile phone device by using, for example, a connection signal from the mounting member or sensing the mobile phone device. The detection unit 103 is not limited to detecting the presence or absence of the mobile phone device by a connection signal or sensing from the placement member, for example, from the mobile phone device that has recognized that the mobile phone device is placed on the placement member. The presence or absence of the mobile phone device may be detected by receiving a signal indicating that the mobile phone has been placed.

  When it is detected that the power is turned off in the normal state, the control unit 104 is turned off from the normal state after a predetermined time when the mobile phone device on the mounting member is detected by the detection unit 103. Transition to the state. The state where the power is turned off is, for example, a state where the accessory power described above is not supplied. That is, even if the state where the power supply is turned off is detected, the control unit 104 performs various processes by the power supply from the backup power supply line until a predetermined time elapses when the mobile phone device is detected on the placement member. The normal state or the standby state described later is maintained. It should be noted that the power-off state does not include an off state caused by pressing the main power button. The predetermined time is, for example, a range of time that is assumed to be turned on in order to display the screen again immediately after the user turns off the power, and may be set arbitrarily.

  The control unit 104 includes a measuring unit (not shown) for measuring the predetermined time. In addition, when the detection unit 102 detects that the power is turned off in the normal state, the control unit 104 passes a predetermined time when the detection unit 103 detects the mobile phone device on the placement member. Later, the normal state is shifted to the off state, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the detection unit 103 has a function of detecting whether a short-distance wireless communication connection with a surrounding mobile phone device is established. The control unit 104 is controlled by the detection unit 102 in a normal state. When it is detected that the power-off state is detected and the detection unit 103 detects that a short-range wireless communication connection with the mobile phone device has been established, the normal state is changed to the off state after a predetermined time has elapsed. You may make it transfer.

  This predetermined time can be appropriately changed by an input from the user. The control unit 104 does not wait for the elapse of a predetermined time when a mobile phone device on the placement member is not detected or when a short-range wireless communication connection with a peripheral mobile phone device is not established. Transition from the normal state to the off state. Further, even when the user turns off the main power button of the information processing apparatus 100, the normal state is shifted to the off state without waiting for a predetermined time. In other words, various processes are not performed by the power source from the backup power source, and the state is shifted to the off state.

  In the present embodiment, setting unit 101 is set to any one of a normal state, an off state, and a state where display screen display is suspended (hereinafter referred to as “standby state”). It may be. The standby state is a resume state. Specifically, for example, while the display unit 105, the indicator, and the like are turned off, various processes can be performed on the input from the user, as if it is stopped. It looks like it did. In the standby state, when communication connection is established with an external server, transmission / reception is appropriately performed with the external server.

  In this case, the control unit 104 detects a state in which the power is turned off by the detection unit 102 and detects that the mobile phone device is mounted on the mounting member, or When it is detected that the short-range wireless communication connection has been established, after the transition from the normal state to the standby state, the standby state is shifted to the off state after a predetermined time has elapsed. When the mobile phone device on the placement member is not detected or the short-range wireless communication connection with the mobile phone device is disconnected, the control unit 104 does not shift to the standby state and does not enter the standby state. Transition to the off state.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 104 shifts from the normal state to the standby state, and when the mobile phone device is no longer detected on the placement member by the detection unit 103 before the predetermined time elapses, or When the short-distance wireless communication connection with the mobile phone device is disconnected, the standby state may be shifted to the off state. The case where the mobile phone device is no longer detected on the mounting member is specifically, for example, a case where the user removes the mobile phone device from the mounting member, and the short-range wireless communication with the mobile phone device is performed. The case where the connection of communication is cut off is a case where the power supply of the mobile phone device is turned off or a case where the position of the mobile phone device is out of the range where short-range wireless communication is possible.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 104 shifts from the standby state to the normal state when there is an operation input from the user before the predetermined time elapses after shifting from the normal state to the standby state. You may do it. The operation input is, for example, an operation input for an operation button or an operation input by touching a touch panel. The transition from the standby state to the normal state is a transition from the state in which the display unit 105, the indicator, and the like are turned off to the operation screen, and the indicator and the like are turned on. If the mobile phone device is no longer detected on the mounting member after the operation input from the user, or the short-range wireless communication connection with the surrounding mobile phone device is disconnected , Transition to the off state.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 104 is displayed on the screen in the night display mode. After the transition from the normal state to the standby state, the control unit 104 shifts from the standby state to the off state after a predetermined time has elapsed. You may do it. The night display mode is darker than the daytime display mode. Specifically, when the night mode is displayed, the purpose is to limit the time zone. For example, after the engine is stopped at night, the mode is displayed on an unmanned vehicle. If there is a risk of being stolen, it is based on being unwary. As described above, in this configuration, at night, the screen is not displayed by shifting to the standby state immediately without maintaining the normal state.

  In the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 106 is an arbitrary component. The acquisition unit 106 acquires information on the current position. In this case, the control unit 104 detects that the current position acquired by the acquisition unit 106 is other than the vicinity of the home, and the detection unit 102 detects that the current position is set to the off state, and that the mobile phone device is mounted. Is detected, or when it is detected that a short-range wireless communication connection with the mobile phone device has been established, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the normal state is shifted to the off state.

  When the current position is in the vicinity of the home, the control unit 104 changes from the normal state to the off state without waiting for the elapse of a predetermined time when the detection unit 102 detects the state of turning off the power. Transition. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the current position is around the home by using pre-registered home position information and current position information.

  In the present embodiment, the search unit 107 is an arbitrary component. Search unit 107 searches for nearby mobile phone devices capable of short-range wireless communication at predetermined intervals in the off state. Specifically, the search unit 107 searches for nearby mobile phone devices using short-range wireless communication. More specifically, the search unit 107 performs a search by sequentially authenticating whether or not a mobile phone device registered in advance exists in the vicinity. For short-range wireless communication, a Bluetooth device is typically used, but an infrared device can also be used. Note that Bluetooth is a registered trademark.

  The information processing apparatus 100 can be connected to an external server by performing short-range wireless communication with a mobile phone device via a Bluetooth device. For example, the information processing device 100 is based on an individual attribute associated with the mobile phone device. It is possible to receive information.

  In the off state, not all the power is turned off, and at least power for performing a search by the search unit 107 is supplied. The predetermined time is a time interval for performing a search, and may be set arbitrarily. However, from the viewpoint that a more detailed search can be performed, it is desirable that the predetermined time is a short interval. In addition, the periphery is a range in which short-range wireless communication is possible, specifically, a range including the outside of the moving body.

  In this case, the control unit 104 shifts from the off state to the standby state when there is a mobile phone device in the vicinity according to the search result of the search unit 107. Specifically, this configuration makes it possible to shift from the off state to the standby state when the user approaches from the outside of the moving body.

  Note that the control unit 104 may shift from the off state to the normal state when a mobile phone device is present in the vicinity based on the search result of the search unit 107. Furthermore, in this case, when the controller 104 does not detect the power-on state by the detection unit 102 even after a predetermined time has elapsed, that is, the user turns on the accessory power switch or performs an operation input. If this is not the case, the normal state may be shifted to the off state. Note that the fixed time is a time required for the user to get into the vehicle after the search is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 104 shifts from the off state to the standby state based on the search result of the search unit 107, and then detects a state in which the power is turned on by the detection unit 102. You may make it transfer from a standby state to a normal state. In this configuration, when the user approaches from the outside of the moving body and shifts from the off state to the standby state, when the user turns on the accessory power switch or when there is an operation input from the touch panel, It is possible to shift from the state to the normal state. That is, when there is an input from the user, it is possible to instantaneously shift to the normal state.

(Control processing procedure of information processing apparatus)
Next, a control processing procedure of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a control processing procedure of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 100 is set to the normal state, and determines whether or not a state of turning off the power is detected in this state (step S201). If the power-off state is not detected, the process waits until the power-off state is detected (step S201: No loop). When the power-off state is detected (step S201: Yes), whether or not the mobile phone device is placed on the placement member, or a short-range wireless communication connection with the mobile phone device is established. It is determined whether or not (step S202).

  If it is determined that the mobile phone device is mounted on the mounting member or that the short-range wireless communication connection is established (step S202: Yes), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step S202). S203). Until the predetermined time elapses (step S203: No), the process proceeds to step S202. When the predetermined time elapses (step S203: Yes), the normal state is shifted to the off state (step S204), and the series of processing ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the mobile phone device is not mounted on the mounting member or when it is determined that the short-range wireless communication connection is not established (step S202: No), the process proceeds to step S204, and a predetermined value is set. Without waiting for the elapse of time, the normal state is shifted to the off state, and the series of processes is terminated.

  As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, when a state in which the power is turned off is detected in the normal state, the mobile phone device exists on the placement member. Or, when a short-distance wireless communication connection with the mobile phone device is established, after a predetermined time has passed, the normal state is switched to the off state, so even if the accessory power is not supplied The normal state can be maintained for a while. Therefore, for example, even when the user wants to use the information processing apparatus 100 even after the accessory power switch is set to “OFF”, the user does not restart the information processing apparatus 100, that is, waits. There is no time and the information processing apparatus 100 can be used immediately.

  Further, in this embodiment, if the transition from the normal state to the standby state is followed by the transition from the standby state to the off state after a lapse of a predetermined time, not only wasteful power consumption can be prevented. If necessary, the screen can be displayed immediately.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the transition from the normal state to the standby state and before the predetermined time elapses, when the mobile phone device no longer exists on the mounting member, or near field communication with the mobile phone device If the connection is disconnected from the standby state, it is possible to prevent wasteful power consumption. In other words, it can be assumed that the user is unlikely to use the information processing device 100 because the user has removed the mobile phone device from the mounting member or removed the mobile phone device. By shifting to, wasteful power consumption can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the transition from the normal state to the standby state, if there is an operation input from the user before the predetermined time elapses, if the transition from the standby state to the normal state is performed, If necessary, the screen can be displayed immediately.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the screen is displayed in the night display mode, after the transition from the normal state to the standby state, the standby state is shifted to the off state after a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, after turning off the engine at night, for example, it is possible to prevent being distracted by displaying the screen in an unattended mobile body.

  Also, in this embodiment, when there is an input to turn off the power when the current position is other than the vicinity of the home, if the user shifts from the normal state to the off state after a predetermined time has elapsed, the user can The screen can be displayed for a while at a place where the information processing apparatus 100 may be used. In other words, when a state in which the power is turned off is detected, it is possible to shift to the off state at a place where the user is unlikely to use the information processing apparatus 100 such as around the home.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the off state, a search is made for a nearby mobile phone device capable of short-range wireless communication every predetermined time, and when there is a mobile phone device in the vicinity, the off state By shifting from the standby state to the standby state, when the user approaches from the outside of the moving body, it is possible to shift from the off state to the standby state. Moreover, not only the transition from the off state to the standby state, but also the transition from the off state to the normal state allows the screen to be displayed before the user gets on the moving body, eliminating the waiting time. Can do.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a state in which the power is turned on is detected after the transition from the off state to the standby state, if the transition from the standby state to the normal state is performed, the outside of the mobile body After the user approaches and shifts from the off state to the standby state, when the user turns on the accessory power switch or performs an operation input, it is possible to instantaneously shift to the normal state, and the screen The waiting time until it is displayed can be eliminated.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below. In the following description, an example in which the information processing apparatus of the present invention is implemented by a navigation device mounted on a vehicle will be described. The navigation device performs various processes by acquiring various information from the mobile phone device through short-range wireless communication. In addition, this navigation device is activated by the supply of accessory power from a power supply source and performs various processes. However, even if there is an input for turning off the power, the accessory power is not supplied if a predetermined condition is satisfied. A part or all of various processes are performed continuously.

(Hardware configuration of navigation device)
The hardware configuration of the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 3, a navigation device 300 is mounted on a moving body such as a vehicle, and short-range wireless communication is possible with a mobile phone device 330 that can be attached to and detached from the cradle 340. The navigation device 300 includes a CPU 301, ROM 302, RAM 303, magnetic disk drive 304, magnetic disk 305, optical disk drive 306, optical disk 307, audio I / F (interface) 308, microphone 309, and speaker 310. An input device 311, a video I / F 312, a display 313, a communication I / F 314, a BT (Bluetooth) device 315, a GPS unit 316, and various sensors 317. Note that Bluetooth is a registered trademark. Each component 301 to 317 is connected by a bus 320.

  The CPU 301 governs overall control of the navigation device 300. The ROM 302 records various programs such as a boot program, a current location calculation program, a route search program, a route guidance program, and a control program. These programs may be recorded in a rewritable nonvolatile memory. The RAM 303 is used as a work area for the CPU 301. Further, the CPU 301 has a built-in timer for measuring time.

  The current location calculation program, for example, calculates the current location of the vehicle (the current location of the navigation device 300) based on output information from a GPS unit 316 and various sensors 317 described later.

  The route search program searches for an optimal route from the departure point to the destination point using map data or the like recorded on a magnetic disk 305 described later. Here, the optimum route is a shortest (or fastest) route to the destination point or a route that best matches a condition specified by the user. The searched route is output to the audio I / F 308 and the video I / F 312 via the CPU 301.

  The route guidance program is based on the guidance route information searched by executing the route search program, the vehicle current location information calculated by executing the current location calculation program, and the map data read from the magnetic disk 305. Real-time route guidance information is generated. The generated route guidance information is output to the audio I / F 308 and the video I / F 312 via the CPU 301.

  The control program is a program that shifts the display state based on information on the display state and a connection signal when the mobile phone device 330 is set in the cradle 340. The display state includes a normal state when using the navigation device 300, an off state in which the power is turned off, and a standby state in which display of the display screen is suspended.

  The magnetic disk drive 304 controls the reading / writing of the data with respect to the magnetic disk 305 according to control of CPU301. The magnetic disk 305 records data written under the control of the magnetic disk drive 304. As the magnetic disk 305, for example, an HD (hard disk) or an FD (flexible disk) can be used.

  The optical disk drive 306 controls the reading / writing of the data with respect to the optical disk 307 according to control of CPU301. The optical disk 307 is a detachable recording medium from which data is read according to the control of the optical disk drive 306. As the optical disc 307, a writable recording medium can be used. In addition to the optical disk 307, the removable recording medium may be an MO, a memory card, or the like.

  The audio I / F 308 is connected to the microphone 309 and the speaker 310. The microphones 309 are installed near the sun visor of the vehicle, for example, and the number may be one or more. The sound received by the microphone 309 is A / D converted in the sound I / F 308.

  The speaker 310 outputs sound. Specifically, the speaker 310 outputs voice related to route guidance and call voice of the other party by the mobile phone device 330 during a hands-free call. Examples of the input device 311 include a remote controller having a plurality of keys for inputting characters, numerical values, various instructions, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and the like. The input device 311 may be realized by any one form among a remote controller, a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel, or may be realized by a plurality of forms.

  The video I / F 312 is connected to the display 313. Specifically, the video I / F 312 includes, for example, a graphic controller that controls the entire display 313, a buffer memory such as a VRAM (Video RAM) that temporarily records image information that can be displayed immediately, and a graphic controller. Based on the output image data, the display 313 is configured by a control IC or the like.

  The display 313 displays icons, cursors, menus, windows, or various data such as characters and images. As the display 313, for example, a CRT, a TFT liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or the like can be adopted. The display 313 is installed near the dashboard of the vehicle, for example. Further, the display 313 displays various types of information in either the night display mode or the daytime display mode in accordance with a command from the video I / F 312. Note that the video I / F 312 gives an instruction to the display 313 to switch from the daytime display mode to the nighttime display mode by turning on the ignition key of the vehicle, for example.

  The communication I / F 314 is connected to a network via wireless and functions as an interface between the navigation device 300 and the CPU 301. The communication I / F 314 is further connected to a communication network such as the Internet via wireless, and also functions as an interface between the communication network and the CPU 301.

  The communication I / F 314 includes a BT device 315. The BT device 315 performs short-range wireless communication with the mobile phone device 330, and transmits / receives voice information, Internet site information, and the like during a hands-free call. The BT device 315 communicates with a mobile phone device 330 within a predetermined range using, for example, 2.4 GHz radio waves. In addition, the BT device 315 searches for the surrounding mobile phone device 330 every predetermined time in the off state of the navigation device 300 under the control of the CPU 301.

  For example, a signal requesting transmission of a device ID or the like is transmitted to the peripheral mobile phone device 330. Then, based on the search result, authentication processing is performed with the surrounding mobile phone device 330 to establish a short-range wireless communication connection. The communication I / F 314 detects a connection state of short-range wireless communication with the mobile phone device 330. A signal indicating the detection state (whether connection is established or connection is disconnected) is transmitted to the CPU 301 as necessary.

  The GPS unit 316 receives radio waves from GPS satellites and outputs information indicating the current location of the vehicle. The output information of the GPS unit 316 is used when the CPU 301 calculates the current location of the vehicle together with output values of various sensors 317 described later. The information indicating the current location is information for specifying one point on the map data, such as latitude / longitude and altitude. The CPU 301 determines whether the current position is around the home from the current location of the vehicle and the location information of the home recorded in advance on a magnetic disk or the like. Whether it is in the vicinity of this home is determined, for example, based on whether the distance to the home is within 100 m.

  The various sensors 317 output information that can determine the position and behavior of the vehicle, such as a vehicle speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, and an angular velocity sensor. The output values of the various sensors 317 are used for the calculation of the current location of the vehicle by the CPU 301 and the measurement of the change in speed and direction.

  The cellular phone device 330 has a built-in device similar to the BT device 315 and can perform short-range wireless communication with the navigation device 300. The mobile phone device 330 can be connected to an external server. For example, the mobile phone device 330 can receive information based on attributes for each individual linked to the mobile phone device 330. Information received by the mobile phone device 330 is output from the speaker 310 or the display 313 via the BT device 315.

  The cradle 340 corresponds to a placement member. The cradle 340 is a stand-type expansion device. For example, by setting the mobile phone device 330, the cradle 340 can be connected to the navigation device 300 and charged with the mobile phone device 330. In order to detect that the mobile phone device 330 is set in the cradle 340, a connection signal from the cradle 340 may be used, or the mobile phone device 330 on the cradle 340 may be sensed. Alternatively, the BT device 315 may detect the signal indicating that the cradle 340 has been set from the mobile phone device 330 that has been set. The cradle 340 is installed around the navigation device 300.

  The setting unit 101, the detection unit 102, the detection unit 103, the control unit 104, the display unit 105, the acquisition unit 106, and the search unit 107 included in the information processing apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. The CPU 301 executes a predetermined program using the programs and data recorded in the ROM 302, the nonvolatile memory, the RAM 303, the magnetic disk 305, the optical disk 307, etc. in the navigation device 300 shown, and controls each part in the navigation device 300. The function is realized by.

  That is, the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment executes the control program recorded in the ROM 302 or the non-volatile memory as a recording medium in the navigation device 300, thereby providing the functions of the information processing device 100 shown in FIG. The control processing procedure shown in FIG. 2 can be executed.

(An example of control processing when the navigation device is on)
Next, an example of a control process in the on state performed by the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a control process in the on state performed by the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 4, the navigation device 300 is assumed to be in a normal state, and determines whether or not a state of turning off the power is detected (step S401). It is in a standby state until a state of turning off the power is detected (step S401: No loop). If it is determined that the power-off state has been detected (step S401: Yes), it is determined whether or not the current position is around the home (step S402). When it is determined that the current position is not around the home (step S402: No), it is determined whether or not the mobile phone device 330 is set in the cradle 340 (step S403).

  When it is determined that the mobile phone device 330 is set in the cradle 340 (step S403: Yes), time measurement is started by a timer with t = 0 (step S404). Then, it is determined whether or not the screen display used is the night display mode (step S405).

  When it is determined that the display mode is nighttime (step S405: Yes), the normal state is shifted to the standby state (step S406). On the other hand, when it is determined that the display mode is not night mode (step S405: No), the normal state is maintained, and the process proceeds to step S407. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (n) has elapsed since the measurement was started (step S407).

  If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S407: No), it is determined whether the cellular phone device 330 has been removed from the cradle 340 (step S408). When the mobile phone device 330 is not removed from the cradle 340 (step S408: No), it is determined whether or not there is an operation input from the user (step S409). Note that the operation input from the user is, for example, an operation input by touching the touch panel.

  Until there is an operation input (step S409: No), the process proceeds to step S407. When there is an operation input (step S409: Yes), the standby state is changed to the normal state (if the normal state is maintained, the normal state is maintained) (step S410), and the series of processes is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the current position is around the home (step S402: Yes), the normal state is shifted to the off state (step S411), and the series of processes is terminated. If it is determined that the mobile phone device 330 is not set in the cradle 340 (step S403: No), the process proceeds to step S411.

  Furthermore, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S407: Yes), the process proceeds to step S411. When it is determined that the mobile phone device 330 has been removed from the cradle 340 (step S408: Yes), the process proceeds to step S411.

  According to the above-described processing, the normal state can be maintained for a while even when the power-off state is detected in the normal state. Therefore, even when the user wants to use the navigation device 300 even after the engine key is positioned “OFF”, the user does not restart, that is, there is no waiting time, and the navigation device 300 immediately. Can be used.

  Note that each of determining whether the mobile phone device 330 is set in the cradle 340 and determining whether the mobile phone device 330 is removed from the cradle 340 is performed with the mobile phone device 330. Processing is performed in place of each of determining whether the connection of short-range wireless communication has been established and determining whether the connection of short-range wireless communication with the mobile phone device 330 has been disconnected. You may do it.

  In addition, after the transition from the normal state to the standby state, after a predetermined time has passed, the transition from the standby state to the off state can be performed, so that not only wasteful power consumption can be prevented, but if necessary, The screen can be displayed immediately.

  In addition, when the mobile phone device 330 is removed from the cradle 340 after the transition from the normal state to the standby state and before the elapse of a predetermined time, the standby state is shifted to the off state. Consumption can be prevented.

  In addition, after the transition from the normal state to the standby state, when there is an operation input from the user before the lapse of a predetermined time, the standby state is shifted to the normal state. Can be displayed on the screen.

  In addition, when it was displayed on the screen in the night display mode, after shifting from the normal state to the standby state, after a predetermined time has elapsed, it was shifted from the standby state to the off state, so at night, After the engine is turned off, for example, the screen display is performed in an unmanned vehicle, so that it can be prevented from being unnecessarily.

  In addition, when the current position is other than the vicinity of the home and the power-off state is detected, the user uses the navigation device 300 since the normal state is switched to the off state after a predetermined time has elapsed. It can be displayed on the screen for a while at a place where there is a possibility. In other words, when there is an input to turn off the power, it is possible to shift to the off state at a place where the user is unlikely to use the navigation device 300 such as around the home.

(Example of registration information for mobile phone devices and Bluetooth device addresses)
Next, an example of registration information of the mobile phone device 330 and the Bluetooth device address (BD address) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of registration information of the mobile phone device 330 and the Bluetooth device address (BD address).

  In FIG. 5, the registration information 500 includes a mobile phone device 330, a BD address 501, and an automatic on setting 502. The cellular phone device 330 and the BD address 501 are registered in association with each other. The automatic on setting 502 is a setting as to whether or not to search the surrounding mobile phone device 330 every predetermined time in the off state.

  When the automatic on setting 502 is set, if there is a mobile phone device 330 registered in the vicinity as a result of the search, the automatic on setting 502 is automatically shifted to the standby state. “◯” shown in the automatic on setting 502 indicates that the automatic on setting 502 is set, and “−” indicates that the automatic on setting 502 is not set. The automatic on setting 502 can be changed as appropriate according to input from the user. Based on such registration information 500, the BT device 315 searches for the mobile phone device 330 associated with the BD address 501.

(Example of control processing in the off state performed by the navigation device)
Next, an example of the control process in the off state performed by the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of control processing in the off state performed by the navigation device 300 according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 6, it is assumed that the navigation device 300 is in an off state, and determines whether or not it is time to perform a peripheral search on the mobile phone device 330 (step S601). It is in a standby state until it is time to perform a peripheral search (step S601: No loop).

  When it is time to perform the peripheral search (step S601: Yes), the peripheral search is started by the BT device 315 (step S602). Then, it is determined whether or not the registered mobile phone device 330 exists (step S603). For example, it is determined whether or not there is a response to a transmission request such as a device ID from the cellular phone device 330 associated with the BD address 501. When it is determined that there is a registered mobile phone device 330 (a mobile phone device 330 having an automatic on setting 502 of “◯” exists) (step S603: Yes), the mobile phone device 330 shifts from an off state to a standby state (step S603). S604).

  Then, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the transition to the standby state (step S605). If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the transition to the standby state (step S605: No), it is determined whether or not the power is off (step S606).

  When it is determined that the power is turned off (step S606: Yes), the process proceeds to step S605. When it is determined that the power is not turned off (step S606: No), that is, when the user operates the engine key to input power on or operates the touch panel or the like When there is an input, the process shifts from the standby state to the normal state (step S607), and the series of processing ends. Details of the display screen immediately after the transition to the normal state in step S607 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S603 that there is no registered mobile phone device 330 (the mobile phone device 330 having the automatic ON setting 502 of “◯” does not exist) (step S603: No), a series of processing is performed. finish. In step S605, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the transition to the standby state (step S605: Yes), the standby state is shifted to the off state (step S608), and the series of processing ends.

  According to the above-described processing, the mobile phone device 330 in the vicinity in which the short-range wireless communication is possible is searched for every predetermined time in the OFF state, and the mobile phone device 330 exists in the vicinity. Since the state is shifted to the standby state, when the user approaches from the outside of the vehicle, it is possible to shift from the off state to the standby state. Also, not only the transition from the off state to the standby state, but if the transition from the off state to the normal state is made, the screen can be displayed before the user gets into the vehicle, and the waiting time can be eliminated. it can.

  In addition, after the transition from the off state to the standby state, when the power is no longer turned off, the transition from the standby state to the normal state is made, so the user approaches from the outside of the vehicle and the off state After the transition from the standby state to the standby state, when there is an input from the user, the standby state can be immediately shifted to the normal state. Therefore, when the user places the engine key at the “accessory power” or when an operation is input from the touch panel, the normal state can be instantaneously changed, and the waiting time until the screen is displayed. Can be eliminated.

(Example of display screen displayed on the display)
