The portable terminals 200a and 200b are simply referred to as the portable terminal 200 when it is not necessary to distinguish between them. The number of portable terminals 200 is not limited to two.

  In the present embodiment, in order to explain the processing of the phone book data of a plurality of mobile terminals 200, mobile terminals 200a and 200b each having at least a telephone function and storing phone book data are connected to the navigation device 100. To do. The phone book data is, for example, data in which names (names of individuals who own phones, names of organizations, etc.) and phone numbers are associated with each other.

  The navigation device 100 is mounted on a vehicle of a user (driver) and has a function of guiding (navigating) a route for the user. For example, the navigation device 100 has a function of displaying the vehicle position superimposed on a map image and a function of displaying destination candidates more easily so that the user can easily select the destination.

  In addition, the navigation device 100 has a function of controlling the connected mobile terminal 200. For example, the navigation device 100 has a hands-free call function using a portable terminal 200 having a telephone function. When the portable terminal 200 is a portable music player, the navigation device 100 may have a function of reading out music data stored in the connected portable terminal 200 and playing it back.

  The navigation device 100 includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit 121, a vehicle speed sensor 122, a storage unit 125, an arithmetic processing unit 126, a communication unit 127, an operation unit 128, and a display unit 129.

  The GPS unit 121 receives signals sent from a plurality of GPS satellites, and measures the own vehicle position (the current position of the own vehicle). The GPS unit 121 supplies position information indicating the measured vehicle position to the arithmetic processing unit 126.

  The vehicle speed sensor 122 measures, for example, a pulse signal corresponding to the rotation of the output shaft of the transmission and the driven wheel, and detects the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle speed sensor 122 supplies the detected speed information to the arithmetic processing unit 126.

  The storage unit 125 stores information necessary for display and route search, such as map information (road information) and various images. The storage unit 125 reads out necessary information and supplies it to the arithmetic processing unit 126 in response to a request from the arithmetic processing unit 126.

  The storage unit 125 can be configured by any commonly used storage medium such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an optical disk, a memory card, and a RAM (Random Access Memory).

  The arithmetic processing unit 126 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), and a built-in timer. The arithmetic processing unit 126 controls the navigation device 100 as a whole, for example, when the CPU executes a program stored in the ROM.

  The communication unit 127 transmits / receives information necessary for communication to / from the mobile terminal 200 through a connector (cable) of a predetermined standard. In addition, when the navigation apparatus 100 and the portable terminal 200 are connected by the wireless communication standard, the communication unit 127 transmits information necessary for communication with the portable terminal 200 according to the wireless communication standard.

  The operation unit 128 includes, for example, a touch panel disposed on the front surface of the display unit 129, and receives operation content (such as instruction input) from the user. Note that the operation unit 128 may be an infrared remote controller or the like.

  The display unit 129 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display and displays a map image (road image) and the like.

  Next, the functional configuration of the navigation device 100 will be described. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the navigation device 100. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the navigation device 100 includes a storage control unit 101, a reception unit 102, a determination unit 103, an integration unit 104, a display control unit 105, a first storage unit 111, and a second storage unit. 112.

  The first storage unit 111 is a storage unit that stores data (such as phone book data) read from the connected mobile terminal 200. The first storage unit 111 may be configured by a storage medium that temporarily stores data, such as a RAM. The second storage unit 112 is a storage unit for use in integrating telephone book data.

  The first storage unit 111 and the second storage unit 112 may be physically configured as different storage media, or different areas of the same storage medium are allocated to the first storage unit 111 and the second storage unit 112, respectively. You may comprise as follows. In the example of FIG. 1, the RAM in the storage unit 125 and the arithmetic processing unit 126 can correspond to the first storage unit 111 and the second storage unit 112.

  The storage control unit 101 controls the writing of various information to the first storage unit 111 and the second storage unit 112 and the reading of various information from the first storage unit 111 and the second storage unit 112. For example, the storage control unit 101 reads the phone book data stored in the connected mobile terminal 200 when the connection of the mobile terminal 200 is detected, and stores the read phone book data in the first storage unit 111. Since a plurality of portable terminals 200 can be connected, the storage control unit 101 may store each phone book data in association with identification information for identifying the portable terminal 200.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the identification information of the mobile terminal 200 and the phone book data including the name and phone number are stored in association with each other. The phone book data of a plurality of portable terminals 200 may match (for example, “name AB3, phone number NAB3” in FIG. 3). In addition, some pieces of information included in the phone book data of a plurality of mobile terminals 200 may match (for example, “name AB4” in FIG. 3).

  The accepting unit 102 accepts various information and various instructions for the navigation device 100. For example, the accepting unit 102 accepts selection of one mobile terminal 200 designated as a device that uses a telephone function among a plurality of connected mobile terminals 200. The receiving unit 102 can be configured to receive information specified by a user via the operation unit 128, for example.

  The display control unit 105 controls display processing of various information on the display unit 129. For example, the display control unit 105 reads the phone book data of the selected mobile terminal 200 from the first storage unit 111 and causes the display unit 129 to display the read phone book data.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the display control unit 105 displays all the phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111 or the data obtained by integrating the phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111. Instead of displaying, only the phone book data of the selected mobile terminal 200 is displayed. Thereby, for example, problems such as display of phone book data read from another person's mobile terminal 200 can be solved, and protection of the phone book data can be strengthened.

  On the other hand, for example, when the same user uses a plurality of portable terminals 200, it is desirable that any of the phone book data stored in the plurality of portable terminals 200 can be used by the navigation device 100. There is a case. Therefore, a condition for determining whether or not to allow display of the phone book data is set, and when this condition is satisfied, the phone book data read from a plurality of portable terminals 200 can be integrated and displayed. It is good. For example, the following determination unit 103 and integration unit 104 are used for realizing such functions. If this function is not included, the determination unit 103 and the integration unit 104 may not be provided.

  The determination unit 103 determines whether the selected operation of the mobile terminal 200 satisfies a predetermined condition regarding the operation of the mobile terminal 200. For example, whether or not the cumulative value of the number of connections of the mobile terminal 200 to the navigation device 100 exceeds a predetermined threshold, or whether the number of connections within a predetermined period (for example, a recent fixed period) exceeds a predetermined threshold (predetermined number). The presence / absence of a call from the portable terminal 200 according to an instruction from the navigation device 100 can be used as a condition. You may use the conditions which combined 2 or more of these conditions.

  When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the integration unit 104, together with the phone book data of the selected mobile terminal 200, the mobile terminal 200 (for example, the mobile terminal 200b) other than the selected mobile terminal 200 (for example, the mobile terminal 200a). The phone book data is read from the first storage unit 111, and the read phone book data is integrated. In this case, the display control unit 105 causes the display unit 129 to display the integrated phone book data.

  Note that the storage control unit 101, the reception unit 102, the determination unit 103, the integration unit 104, and the display control unit 105 are realized by causing a CPU or the like in the arithmetic processing unit 126 to execute a program, that is, by software. Can do. Each of these units may be realized by a hardware circuit such as an IC (Integrated Circuit), or may be realized by using software and hardware together.

  Next, a telephone directory display process performed by the navigation device 100 according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the phone book display process in the present embodiment.

  When the mobile terminal 200 (hereinafter also referred to as a mobile phone) is connected via the communication unit 127, for example, the arithmetic processing unit 126 is notified that the mobile phone is connected (step S101). The storage control unit 101 reads the phone book data from the mobile phone whose connection has been detected, and stores it in the first storage unit 111 (step S102). Depending on the communication standard, a plurality of mobile phones may be connected simultaneously. In such a case, the storage control unit 101 may read the phone book data from each of the plurality of mobile phones and store it in association with identification information for identifying the mobile phone.

  The display control unit 105 displays an icon corresponding to the connected mobile terminal 200 on the display unit 129 in a selectable manner (step S103). When a plurality of mobile phones are connected, the display control unit 105 may display a plurality of icons corresponding to each of the plurality of mobile phones.

  The receiving unit 102 determines whether any of the displayed icons has been designated (selected) (step S104). If not specified (step S104: No), the process is repeated until it is specified.

  When an icon is designated (step S104: Yes), the display control unit 105 reads the mobile phone phone book data corresponding to the designated icon from the first storage unit 111, and displays the read phone book data on the display unit 129. (Step S105).

  For example, it is assumed that data as shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the first storage unit 111, and the mobile phone icon whose identification information is “mobile phone A” is selected in step S104. In this case, the display control unit 105 reads the phone book data associated with the mobile phone A from the first storage unit 111 and causes the display unit 129 to display it. As a result, it is possible to avoid the display of the phone book data of a mobile phone that is not selected and whose identification information is “mobile phone B”.

  The accepting unit 102 determines whether any of the telephone numbers of the displayed phone book data has been selected (step S106). If not selected (step S106: No), the process is repeated until it is selected. When selected (step S106: Yes), the arithmetic processing unit 126 makes a call to the selected telephone number from the designated mobile phone by using, for example, a hands-free call function (step S107). The storage control unit 101 stores the outgoing call history in a storage unit such as the second storage unit 112 (step S108). The outgoing call history includes, for example, the number of outgoing calls for each phone book data (phone number).

  Next, a description will be given of a phone book display process in a case where the phone book data is integrated and displayed when the condition is satisfied. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the phone book display process in such a configuration.

  Steps S201 and S202 are the same as steps S101 and S102 in FIG.

  The storage control unit 101 stores the connection date / time and the connection count of the connected mobile phone in a storage unit such as the second storage unit 112 (step S203). Since these pieces of information are referred to in the condition determination process by the determination unit 103, it is desirable to store them in a nonvolatile storage unit.

  The determination unit 103 determines, as an example of a predetermined condition relating to the operation of the mobile phone, a condition as to whether or not the number of connections of the connected mobile phone is a predetermined number or more (step S204). When this condition is not satisfied (step S204: No), the same processing as step S103 to step S105 in FIG. 4 is executed (step S205 to step S207). That is, the phone book data of a plurality of mobile phones is not integrated, and only the phone book data of the designated mobile phone is displayed.

If the condition is satisfied (step S204: Yes), the integration unit 104 performs an integration process for integrating the phone book data (step S208). First, the integration unit 104 reads the phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111 into the second storage unit 112 using, for example, the storage control unit 101. When the phone book data of a plurality of mobile phones is stored, the integration unit 104 reads the phone book data of each mobile phone. The integration unit 104 integrates, for example, phone book data having a common name and telephone number among the read phone book data, and stores it in the second storage unit 112 and the like. The integration unit 104 may integrate telephone book data having at least one of a name and a telephone number.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of integrated telephone directory data. In FIG. 6, since the phone book data whose name is “name AB3” and whose phone number is “phone number NAB3” is common to the phone book data of the mobile phones “mobile phone A” and “mobile phone B”, 1 An example integrated into one record is shown. Further, in FIG. 6, since the phone book data having the name “name AB4” is common to the phone book data of the mobile phones “mobile phone A” and “mobile phone B”, an example in which the phone book data is integrated into one record is shown. It is shown. In the latter case, since the telephone numbers are different, each telephone number is associated with a common name “name AB4”.

  The phone book data to be integrated is the phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111, but is not limited to this. In addition to the first storage unit 111, for example, when there is a storage unit that stores phonebook data input in advance, the phonebook data stored in the storage unit may be the integration target. Further, the phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111 may be only the phone book data of the currently connected mobile phone, or may include the phone book data of the mobile phone connected in the past.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the display control unit 105 displays the integrated icon on the display unit 129 so as to be selectable (step S209). The integrated icon is not an icon corresponding to a specific mobile phone, but an icon for making the telephone function usable by referring to the integrated telephone directory data.

  The receiving unit 102 determines whether or not the displayed icon is designated (selected) (step S210). If not specified (step S210: No), the process is repeated until it is specified.

  When an icon is designated (step S210: Yes), the display control unit 105 reads the integrated phone book data and displays the read phone book data on the display unit 129 (step S211).

The processing after Step S207 and Step S211 (Step S212 to Step S214) is the same as Step S106 to Step S108 in FIG. When the integrated icon is displayed and a plurality of mobile phones are connected, in step S213, the arithmetic processing unit 126 may make a call from any of the plurality of mobile phones. A mobile phone to be prioritized may be set in advance, and the arithmetic processing unit 126 may determine a mobile phone to be transmitted according to this setting. In addition, a plurality of mobile phone icons and mobile phone device names may be displayed and a call may be made from the mobile phone with the specified icon.

(Modification 1)
When displaying the phone book data, the display order may be sorted and displayed according to the usage history (number of times of use). FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of sort information creation processing by the navigation device 100 of Modification 1 configured as described above. The sort information creation process is a process for creating usage history sort information used for sorting the display order. The sort information creation process may be executed independently of the telephone directory display process, or may be executed during the telephone directory display process (for example, before step S105).

  For example, the storage control unit 101 reads the use history for each telephone number from the second storage unit 112 (step S301). The usage history may be, for example, the transmission history stored in step S108, or the usage history read out from each mobile phone and stored together with the phone book data or separately from the phone book data.

  The storage control unit 101 determines whether or not the read usage history is data of a connected mobile phone (step S302). If it is data of the mobile phone being connected (step S302: Yes), the storage control unit 101 selects the read data (step S303). If it is not the data of the connected mobile phone (step S302: No), the storage control unit 101 does not select the read data (step S304).

  The storage control unit 101 determines whether or not the read usage history is the last data (step S305). If the usage history is not the last (step S305: No), the storage control unit 101 returns to step S302 and repeats the process. If it is the last data (step S305: Yes), the storage control unit 101 creates usage history sort information from the selected data, and stores it in the second storage unit 112, for example (step S306).

The usage history sort information may be any information as long as the phone book data to be displayed can be sorted according to the usage history. For example, the phone book data and order information indicating the display order may be associated with each other as use history sort information. In this case, the display control unit 105 may display the corresponding phone book data on the display unit 129 according to the order information. That is, the display control unit 105 may refer to the usage history sort information and cause the display unit 129 to display telephone book data with a high usage count in preference to telephone book data with a low usage count. The order information may be the number of times of use itself, or may be a numerical value indicating the result of sorting according to the number of times of use.

(Modification 2)
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a modification of the integration process in step S208. FIG. 8 shows an example of integration processing when integrating telephone directory data having the same name.

  The integration unit 104 reads the phone book data stored in the first storage unit 111 into the second storage unit 112 (step S401). When the phone book data of a plurality of mobile phones is stored, the integration unit 104 reads the phone book data of each mobile phone. The integration unit 104 determines whether there is other phone book data with the same name among the read phone book data (step S402). If it does not exist (step S402: No), the integration process is terminated.

  If there is phone book data with the matching name (step S402: Yes), the integration unit 104 determines whether the phone numbers of the phone book data with the matching name match (step S403). If they match (step S403: Yes), the integration unit 104 integrates the phone book data having the same name and telephone number into one phone book data (step S404). If they do not match (step S403: No), the integration unit 104 integrates the phone book data in which only the names match with the phone book data in which the matched names are associated with a plurality of phone numbers that do not match (step S405). ). For example, the above-described phone book data of “name AB4” in FIG. 6 corresponds to the phone book data integrated in this way.

  Thus, in the navigation device according to the present embodiment, only the phone book data corresponding to the selected mobile terminal is displayed on the display unit. Thereby, it is possible to avoid the display of the phone book data of the mobile terminal that is not selected, and to enhance the protection of the phone book data to be used and improve the security. In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the phone book data of the mobile terminals that are not selected can be integrated and displayed. Thereby, the convenience of the user who owns a some portable terminal can be improved, for example.

  A program executed by the navigation apparatus according to the present embodiment is provided by being incorporated in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The program executed by the navigation apparatus according to the present embodiment is a file in an installable format or an executable format, and is a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), a flexible disk (FD), a CD-R (Compact Disk Recordable). ), A DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) or the like may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium and provided as a computer program product.

  Furthermore, the program executed by the navigation device according to the present embodiment may be provided by being stored on a computer connected to a network such as the Internet and downloaded via the network. The program executed by the navigation device according to the present embodiment may be configured to be provided or distributed via a network such as the Internet.

  The program executed by the navigation device according to the present embodiment can cause a computer to function as each unit of the navigation device described above.
