[1-2 Processing procedure]
Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the first embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 shows a preparation procedure necessary for a user to use the navigation communication system according to the first embodiment. First, the user downloads the flow line information application which is an application program written in a language such as Java (registered trademark) or BREW (registered trademark) by accessing the mobile phone application download site 3 from the mobile terminal 1 ( 1). Next, the user accesses the closed NW site 4 in which information of each facility (POI) such as a restaurant, a convenience store, and a hotel is stored, and the name of the facility, the type of facility, location information (GPS information), a homepage address, etc. Get (2). The POI information related to these facilities (POI) is stored in the storage circuit 7 of the portable terminal 1.

  The user is carrying the portable terminal 1 even outside the vehicle, and the user log information is taken when the facility (POI) detection condition is satisfied (3), and when the user gets on the vehicle, the portable terminal 1 It is sent to the navigation device 2 as TPO information by short-range communication (Bluetooth (registered trademark) or IrDA) (4). The navigation device 2 notifies the nearest facility (POI) by display or voice based on the received TPO information (5). The processing performed by the mobile terminal 1 and the navigation device 2 will be further described using a flowchart.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating processing executed by the mobile terminal 1. The user operates with the portable terminal 1 outside the vehicle, takes user log information from the user's behavior (flow line), and when the user gets on the vehicle, the user log information is used as TPO information, and the navigation device 2 to send. When the user operates the mobile terminal 1 to perform such processing and activates the flow line information application, processing by the control unit 10 of the mobile terminal 1 is started.

First, in S <b> 101, the current position of the user is detected by the GPS circuit 6 of the mobile terminal 1. The current position is detected at regular time intervals (for example, every minute).
Next, in S102, it is determined whether or not the location information (GPS information) of the facility (POI) where the user stopped by himself is going to be registered by his own operation. That is, even if the user visits a facility (POI) and recognizes that the facility (POI) is to be left as user log information, if the facility (POI) is relatively new, the closed NW is not always necessary. It is not necessarily registered at the site 4, and is not necessarily stored as POI information in the storage circuit 7. Therefore, the user can update the POI information by his / her own operation.

  If it is determined that this operation has been performed by the user (S102; YES), the location information of the facility (POI) is stored in the storage circuit 7 as new POI information in S103, and then the process proceeds to S104. On the other hand, if it is determined in S102 that the user has not operated (S103; NO), the process proceeds to the next S104 as it is.

  In S104, the presence / absence of a facility (POI) determined to have been visited by the user from the POI information stored in the storage circuit 7 is detected. Here, it is first determined whether or not a facility (POI) within a certain distance (for example, within a range of 5 meters) from the current position of the user is included in the POI information, and such a facility (POI) is present. Further, it is determined whether or not the user stays at the facility (POI) for a certain time (for example, about 3 minutes). When the user stays at the facility (POI) for a certain period of time, it is detected that the user has stopped at the facility (POI). About this setting condition, distance, time, etc. can also be changed according to a user's action style.

  If there is a facility (POI) that is determined to have been visited by the user in S104 (S104; YES), the facility (POI) is stored in the storage circuit 7 as user log information in S105, and then the process proceeds to S106. In this case, the date, day of the week, and time of day of the visit are also stored as user log information. On the other hand, if there is no facility (POI) determined to have visited in S104 (S104; NO), the process proceeds to the next S106.

  The user's behavior (flow line) is stored as user log information in the storage circuit 7 by the above processing. In the next processing, the user log information is stored in the navigation device 2 mounted on the vehicle as TPO information. Send as.

  That is, in S106, it is determined whether or not the user has performed an operation of transmitting user log information as TPO information to the navigation apparatus 2. When it is determined that there is an operation to transmit (S106; YES), the navigation apparatus 2 uses the user log information stored in the storage circuit 7 as TPO information by the short-range communication of Bluetooth (registered trademark) or IrDA in S107. And then the process proceeds to S108. On the other hand, if there is no operation by the user in S106 (S106; NO), the process proceeds to S108 as it is.

  In the last S108, it is determined whether or not the user has performed an operation to end the execution of the flow line information application. When it is determined that the user has performed an operation to end the execution of the flow line execution application (S108; YES), the process of the user flow line information application is ended. If it is not determined that the operation has been performed (S108; NO), the process returns to S101.

  In addition, the navigation device 2 executes navigation according to the user's preference based on the TPO information sent from the mobile terminal 1. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating processing executed by the navigation device 2 according to the first embodiment. This process starts when the user gets on the driver's seat or passenger seat and the navigation device 2 is activated.

  First, in S201, it is determined whether or not TPO information has been received. When it is determined that the TPO information has been received (S201; YES), the navigation apparatus 2 proceeds to S203 after the TPO information receiving unit 11 receives the TPO information and stores the TPO information in the TPO information storage unit 12. That is, short distance communication of Bluetooth (registered trademark) or IrDA with the mobile terminal 1 is performed, and user log information stored in the storage circuit 7 of the mobile terminal 1 is sent as TPO information (FIG. 4, S107). On the other hand, when it is not determined that the TPO information has been received (S201; NO), the process directly proceeds to the next S203.

  The navigation device 2 performs navigation according to the user's preference based on the TPO information received from the mobile terminal 1. In S203, it is determined whether there is a facility (POI) included in the TPO information near the vehicle. That is, the current position of the vehicle is detected by the GPS function as the general navigation system configuration 16, the current position of the vehicle is compared with the position information (GPS information) of the TPO information stored in the TPO information storage unit 12, and the vehicle It is determined whether or not there is a facility (POI) near. For example, it can be set to determine whether or not the vehicle is in the vicinity of one kilometer. This condition can be changed by the user.

  In addition, conditions can be set in consideration of information related to time such as date, day of the week, and time included in the user's TPO information. That is, it is possible to divide the time zone of the day into several blocks and set so that only the TPO information in the block is notified. For example, it is possible to divide the 24 hours of the day into 12 pieces, determine whether or not there is TPO information within a range of every 2 hours, and set so that only the TPO information within the range is notified to the user. Conceivable. More specifically, if a restaurant that stopped by lunch on a weekday was registered as a log, the daytime time zone of the weekday was 11:00 to 1 pm when driving the vehicle. It can be set to notify the facility (POI) in a limited manner.

  If there is no TPO information that satisfies the conditions in S203 (S203; NO), the facility (POI) is not notified and the process jumps to S207. If there is something that satisfies the conditions (S203; YES), the process proceeds to the next S204.

In S <b> 204, it is determined whether or not information about the facility (POI) that satisfies the condition exists in the local database (DB) in the navigation device 2.
When the facility (POI) information exists in the local database (S204; YES), the process proceeds to S205. In S205, the POI emphasizing unit 14 highlights the facility (POI) on the map on the screen. In addition, the user can change the mode of the navigation device 2 so that the facility (POI) is informed by sound guidance guidance or some warning sound. After the process of S205, the process proceeds to S207.

  On the other hand, when there is no facility (POI) information in the local database of the navigation device 2 (S204; NO), the process proceeds to S206. In S206, the simple POI icon creation unit 15 creates a simple icon representing the facility and displays it on the map on the screen. In this case, it is also possible to use voice guidance or alert sound. After the process of S206, the process proceeds to S207.

In the next S207, it is determined whether or not the user has performed an operation to end the processing of the navigation device 2. When the user performs an operation to end the processing of the navigation device 2 (S207; YES), the navigation device 2 ends the processing. If the user does not perform an operation to end the process (S207; NO), the process returns to S201.
[1-3 Effects]
As described above, according to the navigation communication system of the first embodiment, information on a facility (POI) where a user has stopped outside the vehicle is stored as user log information in the mobile terminal 1 and is used as short-distance communication as TPO information. It is transmitted to the navigation device 2. And the navigation apparatus 2 performs the navigation according to a user preference using TPO information. According to the navigation communication system of the first embodiment, the navigation device 2 can effectively use information relating to user behavior outside the vehicle (user flow line).

  The user log information stored in the mobile terminal 1 includes not only information on the type and location of the facility (POI) but also information on time such as the date, day of the week, and time when the user stopped by the facility (POI). included. Therefore, the navigation apparatus 2 can notify the location information of the facility (POI) only during a predetermined time period, and can notify more appropriate information according to the user's preference. That is, the time period of the day can be divided into several blocks, and the condition can be set by satisfying only the TPO information in the block. For example, it is possible to divide the 24 hours of the day into 8 pieces, determine whether or not there is TPO information within a range of every 3 hours, and set so that only TPO information within the range is notified to the user. Conceivable. As a result, information unnecessary for the user can be removed, and information relating to the user's flow line (flow line) can be utilized in navigation more accurately.

  Furthermore, when POI information is not stored in the portable terminal 1 for a certain facility, new POI information can be stored by a user operation (S102 and S103). Thereby, even when the POI information is not stored in the mobile terminal 1 in advance, the facility location information (POI information) can be newly stored. That is, even if it is a facility (POI) that is not stored in the portable terminal 1, an effect that it can be utilized for navigation as TPO information is obtained.

  Further, when the POI emphasis unit 14 or the simple POI icon creation unit 15 of the navigation device 2 determines that the vehicle driven by the user has approached the facility (POI) corresponding to the TPO information, the location information of the facility (POI) (S203). As a result, when the user is driving the vehicle using the navigation device 2, the user can know only the information on the facility (POI) necessary for the user by excluding information on the facility (POI) that is not necessary. The effect that it is possible can be obtained.

  Furthermore, according to the navigation apparatus 2, the location of the facility corresponding to the facility (POI) is displayed on the map on the screen and notified through S205 or S206. This provides an effect that the user can visually know the positional relationship between the facilities.

In S205 or S206, the location information of the facility (POI) can be notified by voice or warning sound according to the mode setting of the user. This allows the user to know the position of the facility (POI) even if he / she is driving and cannot look at the display of the navigation device 2 or pays attention to the display of the navigation device 2. The effect that it can be obtained.
