  Next, the portable terminal selection operation in the in-vehicle device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, the operation when the mobile terminal 30A is first connected to the in-vehicle device will be described.

  First, the mobile terminal search unit 106 searches for mobile terminals in an area where wireless communication is possible (S100). Next, the address acquisition unit 122 acquires a MAC address that is a unique address of the searched mobile terminal (S102). The acquired MAC address is stored by the account storage unit 130 (S104). When the MAC address is acquired from the connectable portable terminal, the selection screen creation unit 124 creates a selection screen based on the acquired MAC address (S106). The selection screen creation unit 124 may create a vendor name (maker name) of each mobile terminal based on the MAC address. The vendor name can be specified from the upper six digits of the MAC address. The created selection screen is displayed on the display by the display unit 112 (S108).

  The selection screen displays the MAC address of a mobile terminal that has not been connected in the past, and the MAC address and account information of a mobile terminal that has been connected in the past. The user selects an item corresponding to the desired portable terminal from the selection items presented on the selection screen, and thereby the portable terminal 30A is connected to the in-vehicle device (S110).

  When the connection unit 108 is connected to the mobile terminal 30A, the account acquisition unit 128 acquires account information from the mobile terminal 30A (S112). For example, the account acquisition unit 128 requests the mobile terminal 30A to transmit account information or requests activation of an application that transmits account information.

  When the account information is acquired, the account storage unit 130 stores the account information in association with the MAC address of the mobile terminal 30A, and sets the flag to “1” (S114. By this series of operations, the account storage unit 130 As shown in FIG. 4, if the mobile terminal has a connection record, the MAC address and the corresponding account information are stored in association with each other. If the mobile terminal has no connection record, only the MAC address is stored. Is memorized.

  Next, the operation when connecting a portable terminal that has been connected in the past will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the mobile terminal search unit 106 searches for a mobile terminal in an area where wireless communication is possible (S200), and the address acquisition unit 122 acquires a MAC address that is a unique address of the connectable mobile terminal (S202). When the MAC address is acquired, the determination unit 132 searches the MAC address of the flag “1” stored in the account storage unit 130 and determines whether there is account information corresponding to the corresponding MAC address ( S204).

  If it is determined that the account information is stored correspondingly (S204), the account creation instruction unit 134 instructs the selection screen creation unit 124 to create account information on the selection screen (S206). In response to this instruction, the selection screen creation display unit 124 creates account information in parallel with the MAC address in the selection item of the selection screen (S208). If the account information is not stored, the account information is not added to the selection item. When the processing for all connectable mobile terminals is completed, the created selection screen is displayed by the display unit 112 (S210). By referring to the account information displayed in the selection item, the user can easily identify the mobile terminal and select a desired mobile terminal (S212). When selection of the selection item is executed, the mobile terminal selected by the connection unit 106 is connected to the in-vehicle device.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the MAC address of the connected mobile terminal and the account information are stored in association with each other, and when the mobile terminal is connected again, that is, after the second time, the account information is stored. Since it is automatically displayed on the selection screen, even if there are a plurality of connectable mobile terminals, the mobile terminals can be easily distinguished and connected.

  Next, an example when a plurality of pieces of account information are acquired from one mobile terminal will be described. When a plurality of pieces of account information are acquired from the mobile terminal connected by the account acquisition means 128, the account storage means 130 is used in each of the applications A to D for one MAC address as shown in FIG. A plurality of account information is stored.

  For example, in the case of the MAC address “A1: B2: C3: A8: 32: 48”, four pieces of acquired account information are stored. The account creation instructing means 134 can also instruct that four account information be created, but all account information is stored in view of the limitation of display space on the selection screen, design, ease of selection, etc. Display is not always preferable. Therefore, when a plurality of pieces of account information are acquired, the account creation instructing unit 134 compares the character strings of the account information, preferentially selects account information with high similarity, and displays it. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the character strings of the four account information of the head MAC address are compared, and the group A having a high similarity including the common character “Taro” is displayed with priority over the others. To. Account information with high similarity can be regarded as a naming convention for character strings that the user likes and is likely to be easily understood by the user.

  As another method, the account creation instructing unit 134 displays application account information acquired in common among a large number of portable terminals. In the example of FIG. 7, since the account information of the application B shown in the group B is used by three portable terminals, the account information of the group B is displayed preferentially. Since this service is commonly used by users in the car, it may be easy for users to recognize.

  Which method, such as group A or group B, is used for display can be determined based on the acquired account information. If none of them correspond, all account information may be displayed, or may be displayed on the sub-screen or the details screen when the selection item is selected.

  In the above embodiment, the MAC address is used as the unique information and the account information is used as the user information. However, other information may be used for the unique information and the user information instead of the MAC address and the account information. As user information, for example, a user name, a device name, a telephone number, or the like may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the account information is displayed together with the MAC address when the account information can be displayed as the user information. However, for example, only the account information may be displayed instead of the MAC address.

  In the above embodiment, when there is a plurality of account information, an example of acquiring a plurality of account information is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and account information used in a preset specific application (such as “TuneIt”) May be obtained. If there is no set specific application, account information can be acquired from another application.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the invention described in the claims. In addition, the present invention can include carrying out the first or second embodiment individually or in combination.
