It becomes.

JP 2009-267535 A

  By the way, some recent cellular phones can include “display name” in addition to “phone number”, “last name”, and “first name” as phone book data. In the case of an individual, a “first name” is often assigned to the display name, but the contents that the user wants to display can be set regardless of the first name and the last name, such as “Prefix / suffix”. When such telephone directory data is transferred from the mobile phone to the in-vehicle device in the hands-free telephone system disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the display name may not be displayed correctly. For example, when an individual's full name is used as the “display name”, the order of the first name and the last name may be reversed. This is mainly due to the fact that the order of surnames and given names when writing personal names in Japanese is opposite to the order when writing in English, and works with overseas mobile phones and overseas operating systems. This may be the case when a mobile phone is used. Specifically, when “Last Name” in Japanese is associated with “Last Name” in English, and “First Name” is associated with “First Name” in the order of “First Name”, “Last Name” When “display name” is set by manual input (or in the case of automatic generation), the display name has the order of “first name” and “last name” in Japanese. If the phone book data including such a display name is received by the in-vehicle device and the display name is displayed as it is, the order of “first name” and “last name” will be in order, resulting in an uncomfortable feeling.

  In addition to the hands-free telephone system, there is a similar problem when personal information including at least first and last names and display names is taken from an external device and displayed on the in-vehicle device, and a countermeasure is desired.

  The present invention was created in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide an in-vehicle device capable of accurately displaying a display name when personal information is captured from an external device and displayed. It is in.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the in-vehicle device of the present invention is included in personal information acquisition means for acquiring personal information including at least a surname, first name, and display name from an external device, and personal information acquired by the personal information acquisition means. The correctness / incorrectness determination means for determining the correctness of the displayed name, and when the correctness / incorrectness determination means determines that the display name is incorrect, the display is based on the last name and first name included in the personal information corresponding to the display name. Display name correcting means for correcting the name to the correct content, and display means for displaying the display name after being corrected by the display name correcting means. When the personal information is acquired, whether the display name included in the personal information is correct or incorrect is determined, and when there is an error, the display name is displayed after correction. Therefore, the display name can be accurately displayed.

  Further, it is desirable that the above-described correct / incorrect determination means perform the correct / incorrect determination when the display name includes only the surname and first name. As a result, when the display name includes anything other than the first name and last name (Adana, etc.), the correctness judgment or correction processing is not performed. Therefore, when any content other than the first name is set as the display name, the setting content is changed. It is possible to display the display name with respect.

  Further, it is desirable that the correctness determination unit described above determines that there is an error in the display name when the order of the last name and the first name included in the display name is opposite to the predetermined order. Specifically, the predetermined order is desirably a predetermined order or an order set by the user. Thereby, the correctness determination process of a display name can be simplified. Alternatively, the predetermined order described above is preferably the order corresponding to the language used for personal information. Thereby, the display name can be accurately displayed in consideration of the order of the surname and the first name that differs for each language used.

  The external device described above is preferably a mobile phone, and the personal information is preferably phone book data. As a result, when the phone book data stored in the mobile phone is taken into the in-vehicle device and used, specifically, the display name can be accurately displayed in a hands-free phone system or the like.

Correspond to each. In addition, the mobile phone 10 described above corresponds to an external device.

  The hands-free telephone system of the present embodiment has such a configuration. Next, operations related to correct / incorrect determination of the display name included in the telephone directory data will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the control unit 68 in the hands-free telephone device 50 related to the correctness determination of the display name.

  The phone book data income unit 70 determines whether or not the mobile phone 10 is connected (whether or not the phone book data can be acquired through Bluetooth communication) (step 100). Make a decision and repeat this decision. If the mobile phone 10 is connected, an affirmative determination is made in step 100, and the phone book data acquisition unit 70 acquires phone book data from the mobile phone 10 (step 102). The acquired phone book data is stored in the phone book storage unit 62. Instead of acquiring the phone book data when the mobile phone 10 is connected, the phone book data may be acquired when an instruction to acquire the phone book data is given by the user.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the user has instructed display of the phone book (step 104). If no display instruction is given, a negative determination is made, and this determination is repeated. In addition, when the user instructs to display the phone book using the operation unit 60, an affirmative determination is made in the determination of step 104.

  Next, the phone book data reading unit 72 reads the phone book data to be displayed (step 106). In addition, the correctness / incorrectness determination unit 74 extracts one display name from the read telephone directory data (step 108), and determines whether or not the extracted display name is composed only of a surname and a first name. (Step 110). If the display name is composed only of a surname and a first name, an affirmative determination is made, and then the correctness determination unit 74 performs a correctness determination of this display name (step 112). Specifically, this correct / incorrect determination is performed by checking whether the order of the last name and the first name constituting the display name is correct. In addition, whether or not the order of surname and first name is correct is determined by employing one of the following criteria.

  (1) Assume that the order of surnames and given names is correct when the order is determined in advance. For example, regarding the hands-free telephone device 50 mounted on a vehicle sold for domestic use, this order is correct when “last name” comes first and “first name” comes later.

  (2) Assume that the order of surname and given name is correct when the order is set by the user. For example, when a Japanese user uses the hands-free telephone device 50 mounted on a vehicle traveling in Japan, the user uses the operation unit 60 to set the “last name” first and the “first name” later. This order is assumed to be correct.

  (3) The use language of the last name and the first name is determined, and it is assumed that the order of the last name and the first name corresponding to each use language is correct. The language used is the type of character code used (for example, it is determined to be Japanese when a shift JIS code is used), or the Unicode table when Unicode is used. It can be determined by examining which area of the is used. Alternatively, when the mobile phone 10 stores the nationality and language used of the user as data, this data may be acquired to determine the language used.

  As a result of the correct / incorrect determination in step 112, if the order of the last name and the first name constituting the display name is incorrect (the order is reversed), the display name correction unit 76 changes the order of the last name and the first name. Correction is performed (step 114).

  Next, or after a negative determination is made in the determination in step 110 when the display name includes something other than a surname and first name, or after it is determined that the order is correct in the correct / incorrect determination of the display name in step 112 The correctness / incorrectness determination unit 74 determines whether or not there is another display name that has not been subjected to the correctness / incorrectness determination in the read phonebook data (step 116). If the correct / incorrect determination is not completed, an affirmative determination is made, and the process returns to step 108 to extract the next display name.

  If the correct / incorrect determination is completed for all display names in the read phonebook data, a negative determination is made in the determination in step 116. Next, the phone book display processing unit 78 displays the phone book on the display unit 66 (step 118). Further, the phone book display processing unit 78 determines whether or not a page change is instructed for the currently displayed phone book (step 120). The phone book data reading operation in step 106 and subsequent steps are repeated for the page phone book. If no change instruction is given, a negative determination is made in the determination in step 120, and the phone book display is continued.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a specific example of the phone book screen. FIG. 4A shows a display example of the first page of the phone book, and FIG. 4B shows a display example of the second page of the phone book. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the phone book screen includes a “phone book” indicating that the phone book screen is displayed, and “1, 2, 3, 4, ... ”,“ Display name ”and“ Phone number ”as item names of the phone book list, page change buttons 100 and 102 for instructing to change the display page of the phone book, and scrolling of the contents of the phone book list Scroll buttons 104 and 106 for instructing.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the phonebook screen of the first page includes specific data of display names and phone numbers for the first four phonebook data. In this state, for example, when the user points the page change button 104 with a finger or the like, the display is switched to the phonebook screen of the second page shown in FIG. Further, the display name included in the telephone directory screen displayed in this way displays the content after being corrected as necessary. In other words, if the display name consists of only the first name and last name and the order is correct, the content without correction is displayed, and if the order is incorrect, the corrected content with the order changed is displayed. . Further, when the display name includes a surname and a name other than the first name, for example, when the nickname is used, or when “san” is added after the first name, the content without correction is displayed.

  As described above, in the hands-free telephone device 50 according to the present embodiment, whether or not the display name included in the phone book data is correct is determined, and if there is an error, the display name is displayed after correction. Can be displayed. In addition, if the display name includes anything other than the first name and last name (Adana, etc.), the correctness judgment and correction processing are not performed, so if any content other than the first name is set as the display name, the setting content is respected Thus, the display name can be displayed.

  Further, when the order of the last name and the first name included in the display name is opposite to the predetermined order, it is determined that there is an error in the display name. Specifically, the predetermined order can be a predetermined order or an order set by the user. Thereby, the correctness determination process of a display name can be simplified. Or the predetermined order mentioned above can be made into the order corresponding to the working language of telephone directory data. Thereby, the display name can be accurately displayed in consideration of the order of the surname and the first name that differs for each language used.
