  In addition, instead of selecting and saving address information from the guide mail in step S801, the mobile phone 40 browses the Internet to search for information on the destination store, etc., and selects address information from the searched information. And may be configured to be saved.

  Next, the guidance process (steps S804 to S815) will be described. First, the reception unit 523 receives selection of address information as a destination (step S804). The left and center display screens in FIG. 10 represent examples of display screens when accepting selection of address information. That is, as shown in the left display screen of FIG. 10, when the user selects information corresponding to the destination address from the list in the phone book, the selected information is displayed as shown in the central display screen of FIG. Detailed information such as a telephone number corresponding to is displayed. In the figure, as shown in the central display screen, an example in which the user selects a telephone number as address information is shown. The accepting unit 523 accepts the address information selected in this way.

  When the user designates a predetermined button or the like for setting the selected address information as the destination (“non-contact” button in the example of FIG. 10), for example, the display screen on the right side of the figure is displayed. That is, a message indicating that the selected address information is transmitted via the non-contact I / F (antenna 416 and non-contact IC 417) of the mobile phone 40 and the non-contact RW 109 of the car navigation device 10 is displayed.

  When the user instructs transmission of address information (“Yes” button is pressed in the example of FIG. 10), the selected address information is transmitted to the car navigation device 10 (steps S805 and S806).

  The transmission / reception unit 501 of the car navigation device 10 receives the transmitted address information. The guide unit 503 specifies the position of the point represented by the address information on the map data held in advance by the system from the received address information. Then, the identified point is synthesized on the map data, and the map data is displayed on the display unit 115 (step S807).

  In addition, the determination unit 502 determines this point as a route guidance destination (step S808). In addition, when the dialog screen for confirming whether or not the point corresponding to the received address information is set as the destination is displayed and the user instructs that the destination may be set, the determination unit 502 receives You may comprise so that the point corresponding to the address information made may be determined as a destination.

  Thereafter, the guide unit 503 starts route guidance (navigation processing) to the destination (step S809). When arriving at the destination, the guide unit 503 displays on the display unit 115 a message that prompts the mobile phone 40 to transmit arrival information indicating arrival at the destination (step S810). For example, the guide unit 503 displays a message prompting the user to hold the mobile phone 40 over the non-contact RW 109 in order to write arrival information on the display unit 115.

  When the mobile phone 40 is brought close to the non-contact RW 109, the transmission / reception unit 501 of the car navigation device 10 transmits arrival information to the mobile phone 40 via the non-contact RW 109 (steps S811 and S812).

  The transmitting / receiving unit 521 of the mobile phone 40 receives the transmitted arrival information (step S813). The storage unit 522 stores the received arrival information in the USIM 20 in association with the corresponding address information (step S814).

  Thus, by returning the arrival information to the mobile phone 40, for example, the following processing can be executed. That is, the transmission / reception unit 521 of the mobile phone 40 transmits the arrival information to the server 30 when the arrival information is received (step S815). The server 30 as the transmission destination can be specified by address information associated with the arrival information. When receiving the arrival information, the transmission / reception unit 511 of the server 30 transmits a coupon mail or the like corresponding to the arrival information to the mobile phone 40 that transmitted the arrival information (step S816).

  At this time, for example, the determination unit 512 of the server 30 sets (1) a coupon with a larger discount rate as the arrival frequency history increases. You may comprise so that the kind of coupon mail transmitted according to rules, such as, etc. may be determined.

  In this way, the user of the mobile phone 40 can obtain and use an appropriate coupon at a necessary timing. The method of using arrival information is not limited to this. For example, address information with a larger arrival frequency history may be configured to be displayed with priority when displayed on the list screen. That is, the address information may be weighted according to the value of the arrival frequency history.

  In the above description, the address information to be set as the destination is selected from the address information stored in the USIM 20. On the other hand, for example, the address information obtained by browsing the Internet or the like may be transmitted to the car navigation apparatus 10 as address information directly as a destination without being registered in the USIM 20. For example, when a “non-contact” button is provided instead of the “registration” button on the central display screen in FIG. 9 and this “non-contact” button is pressed, the selected address information is not registered in the USIM 20. You may comprise so that it may transmit to the car navigation apparatus 10. FIG. In this case, for example, when arrival information is received, the corresponding address information may be registered in the USIM 20.

  Further, the URL used for browsing the Internet may be configured to be specified from a bookmark stored in advance in the memory 415 of the mobile phone 40 or the USIM 20.

  As described above, according to the navigation system of the present embodiment, the address information and the like stored in the mobile phone can be transmitted to the navigation device by the non-contact I / F as the destination of the route guidance.
