Hereinafter, a case where the smartphone 100 functions as an electronic device according to the present invention and the television receiver 120 functions as another electronic device according to the present invention will be described as an example.

  The television receiver 120 has an NFC communication function and a wireless LAN communication function in addition to the function of receiving a television broadcast and displaying it on the screen, and displays the content received via the NFC or wireless LAN on the screen. Can do. The smartphone 100 includes an NFC communication unit, a wireless LAN communication unit, a control unit, and a touch panel display.

  The NFC communication unit is an example of a first communication unit in the present invention. When the NFC communication unit enters an area where communication with the television receiver 120 is possible, the NFC communication unit automatically performs short-range wireless communication with the television receiver 120 and receives setting information that defines settings of each unit of the smartphone 100. “Automatically” means A, for example, that no operation by the user is required, but in this example, the proximity of the smartphone 100 close to the TV receiving device 120 is triggered. Performs range wireless communication. In addition, the communicable area refers to a communicable range with a device other than the television receiver 120 as a communication partner intended for the television receiver 120 depending on a relative positional relationship between the smartphone 100 and the television receiver 120. However, in this example, the range is such that the smartphone 100 and the television receiver 120 are in contact with each other. The visible action of contact makes the target of information delivery visually clear.

  The setting information is information related to an image displayed on a touch panel display, for example. Specifically, examples of information relating to images include information relating to still images and information relating to moving images. The image may be a 2D image or a 3D image, for example. For example, it may be a black and white image or a color image. As information about a moving picture, it is good also as information about a sound reproduced in connection with a moving picture, or information on a moving picture itself, for example. In this example, the NFC communication unit receives information necessary for reproducing a moving image as information related to an image. Further, the NFC communication unit receives information for enabling communication with the television receiver 120 by the wireless LAN communication unit.

  “Information relating to an image” includes copy restriction information of the image. The copy restriction information is related to whether or not a restriction on copying is imposed, such as content prohibited from being copied by technology (technical protection means) for preventing unauthorized copying, or content restricted in the number of copies. Information. The control unit, for example, cancels the display of the subsequent image according to the content of the restriction, or prompts the display to be stopped on the television receiver 120 to display the continuation while avoiding infringement of the restriction. Control according to the contents.

  When the copy restriction information indicates that copying is not permitted, the control unit does not display the image displayed on the television receiver 120 on the touch panel display while the television receiver 120 displays the image. Control. More specifically, the control unit performs control so that the image is not displayed unless a notification to the effect that display of the image is finished is received from the television receiver 120. From the viewpoint of copyright protection, it is desirable to prevent an image from being displayed on either the smartphone 100 or the television receiver 120 instantaneously.

  On the other hand, when the copy restriction information indicates that copying is permitted, the control unit displays the image on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100 and selects whether or not to continue displaying the image on the television receiver 120. Output control that prompts the user to input the user's selection, and controls whether or not the television receiver 120 performs display based on the input content. For example, when the image displayed on the television receiver 120 is not prohibited from being copied, when an operation for displaying the continuation of the image on the smartphone 100 is performed, the control unit continues the image. Is displayed on the smartphone 100. At the same time, the control unit may perform control so that the user can select whether or not to display the continuation of the image as it is in the television receiver 120. In addition, when the copy restriction information allows a plurality of times of copying, the display that is displayed on the television receiver 120 for the number of times that the number of allowed copying is plural or continues to be displayed or only the smartphone 100 It is good to control so that it is possible to select whether to display it.

  When the television receiver 120 does not continue to display an image, when the display of the image on the television receiver 120 is terminated, the television receiver 120 displays a different screen from that displayed. For example, the television receiver 120 may display a television broadcast or other images. Also, nothing may be displayed on the screen, or noise (so-called sandstorm) may be displayed. After the display on the smartphone 100 starts, the television receiver 120 may be prohibited from reproducing the image again.

  A control part is an example of the control means in this invention. A control part changes the setting of the smart phone 100 based on the setting information which the NFC communication part received. A control part controls the display in the touchscreen display of the smart phone 100 based on the information regarding an image. In addition, a control part performs the transmission of the command with respect to each component of the smart phone 100, reception of the status from each structural component, etc., and supervises operation | movement of the smart phone 100 whole.

  The wireless LAN communication unit is an example of a second communication unit in the present invention. The wireless LAN communication unit performs communication having a larger communication capacity than communication performed by the NFC communication unit. The wireless LAN communication unit receives the remaining part of the setting information from the television receiver 120 using information for enabling communication by the wireless LAN communication unit received by the NFC communication unit.

  The touch panel display is an example of display means in the present invention, and displays an image and other information on the screen based on control by the control unit. The touch panel display has an input function in addition to a display function, and functions as an input / output interface that receives a user's operation input.

  The television receiver 120 displays television broadcasts and moving image content on the screen. In addition, the television receiving device 120 stores setting information for the smartphone 100 in the NFC tag. The setting information is, for example, setting information desired by the user. In the present embodiment, the setting information is information for displaying the continuation of the image displayed on the television receiver 120 on the smartphone 100. More specifically, information for displaying the continuation of the image displayed on the screen of the television receiver 120 on the smartphone 100 is the setting information. The television receiver 120 transmits / receives setting information to / from the smartphone 100 by short-range wireless communication.

  With respect to the smartphone 100 and the television receiver 120 described above, the operation when the television receiver 120 enters an area where short-range wireless communication is possible in a state where a moving image file is reproduced and displayed will be described. When the smartphone 100 and the television receiver 120 enter an area where communication is possible, the NFC communication unit of the smartphone 100 performs near field communication with the television receiver 120, and the television receiver 120 displays the setting information as a trigger. The information for displaying the continuation of the moving image on the smartphone 100 is received. Information for displaying the continuation on the smartphone 100 includes, for example, the identification information of the image displayed last, the identification information of the image displayed first as the continuation, and the playback position displayed as the continuation when the image is a moving image. Information.

  The control unit causes the touch panel display to display an image from a position after the temporal position of the moving image currently displayed in the file being reproduced by the television receiver 120. “The continuation of the image displayed on the television receiver 120 displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100” is not limited to this, and the user can recognize that the continuation image can be displayed and displayed, or It is good to be either displayed. For example, the image may be a little before the image currently displayed on the television receiver 120 or may be the image currently displayed on the television receiver 120.

  When an image is not displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100, the control unit displays the TV receiver 120 on the touch panel display of the TV receiver 120 based on the setting information received by the NFC communication unit. The continuation of the image is displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100.

  On the other hand, when an image is also displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100 when the NFC communication unit receives information about the image displayed on the television receiving device 120 from the television receiving device 120, the control unit When output control is performed to prompt the user to select which of the image displayed on the receiving device 120 and the image displayed on the touch panel display is to be displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100, and when the selection input by the user is detected, Which is displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100 is controlled based on the input content. Specifically, when the NFC communication unit receives information about the image displayed on the television receiver 120 from the television receiver 120 when the smartphone 100 has already displayed an image, Both the image displayed on the receiving device 120 and the image displayed on the smartphone 100 are displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100 to perform output control that prompts the user to select one of them, and the selection content is input. Control is performed and either one of the image displayed on the television receiver 120 and the image displayed on the smartphone 100 is displayed based on the selected content. When displaying both images on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100, the smartphone 100 uses the screen of the touch panel display in half, and displays the image displayed on the television receiver 120 and the image displayed on the smartphone 100. Display them in the same size. In this case, the two images can be easily compared, and the user can easily make a selection. In addition, the smartphone 100 may display the image that the smartphone 100 originally displayed larger than the image that the television receiver 120 displayed. In this case, it is possible to reduce interference with the audition of the originally displayed image. The input of the selection content may be, for example, an operation of dragging (for example, sliding) the image to be displayed with the fingertip toward the center of the screen. Displays the selected interface on devices with a touch panel. The Blu-ray machine also has NFC, and may be transferred directly from the Blu-ray machine to the tablet without being displayed on the television receiver 120.

  When viewing content recorded on a hard disk recorder or the like on the smartphone 100, complicated settings are necessary from the viewpoint of copyright protection. If communication between the device that plays back recorded content and the smartphone 100 is established using NFC, It can be easily confirmed that the device exists in a short distance where communication by NFC is possible in the same space. By using NFC that cannot communicate unless devices that communicate with each other are in close proximity to each other, it is not distributed to an unspecified number of people, but it is content in the same space, such as in a home, but at a short distance It can be inferred that it is used. For example, while watching a recorded movie in the living room, simply moving the smartphone 100 closer to the television receiver 120 or the recorder allows the screen to be transferred to the smartphone 100 and viewed while moving to the bedroom. Furthermore, if you bring it closer to the bedroom TV, you can move the screen to it. Since the screen can be shifted by a physical operation, an easy-to-understand operation method can be provided. The continuation of the Youtube video you were listening to on the smartphone 100 can also be viewed on the TV receiver 120. Further, if the digital camera 130 being played is brought closer to the television receiver 120, the playback screen can be transferred to the television receiver 120, and an image captured by the digital camera 130 can be confirmed on the large screen of the television receiver 120. Can do.

  Information related to the right to view copyright-protected content is conveyed while being passed like a relay baton using NFC as a key. At this time, it is preferable to transmit / receive information on who is given the right to view the content to whom as setting information. In addition, information regarding which part of the content to be auditioned to be displayed and information regarding how far the content has been displayed may be transmitted and received between the devices that give and receive the right to view the content. The content image data itself may be transmitted using a communication means having a large communication capacity such as a wireless LAN.

[Example of application to learning remote control]
Still referring to FIG. 1, a second embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, a smartphone 100 having a touch panel display corresponds to the electronic apparatus according to the present invention, and can be operated using a remote controller, such as a portable navigation device 110, a television receiver 120, a digital camera 130, and a radar detector. 140 and the washing machine 150 correspond to other electronic devices. Below, the case where the smart phone 100 functions as an electronic device according to the present invention and the television receiver 120 functions as another electronic device according to the present invention will be described as an example. In the present embodiment, the smartphone 100 and the television receiver 120 are both configured to perform both short-range wireless communication and wireless LAN communication.

  Since the smartphone 100 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description here is omitted for the contents that are not different in order to avoid redundant description.

  When the NFC communication unit enters an area communicable with the television receiver 120 that transmits setting information for the smartphone 100, the NFC communication unit automatically performs short-range wireless communication with the television receiver 120 to define the settings of each unit of the smartphone 100. The setting information to be received is received. The television receiver 120 holds setting information related to a remote control for operating itself, and transmits the setting information by short-range wireless communication with the smartphone 100. The setting information in the present embodiment is information relating to a remote control for operating the television receiver 120. Specifically, the setting information includes information such as the button layout of the remote controller, the design of each button, the remote control code to be transmitted when each button is pressed, and the IP address of the television receiver 120.

  Based on information related to the remote control, the control unit displays a button on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100 by simulating the remote control of the television receiver 120.

  The wireless LAN communication unit realizes wireless communication with the television receiver 120 using a wireless LAN having a communication distance longer than that of short-range wireless communication.

  When detecting the pressing of each button displayed on the touch panel display of the user, the control unit transmits a remote control code corresponding to the pressed button to the television receiver 120 via the wireless LAN communication unit. The television receiver 120 receives the remote control code and performs settings corresponding to the button pressed by the user. For example, when the user presses a button for increasing the volume displayed on the touch panel display of the smartphone 100, the television receiver 120 receives a remote control code instructing to increase the volume via the wireless LAN, and the volume according to the received remote control code. Set to increase.

  In this embodiment, NFC is used as a “setting key” so that a smartphone can be used as a remote controller for home appliances. Since the NFC communication distance is insufficient for use as a remote controller, Wi-Fi is used for actual operation. Each home appliance is equipped with a Wi-Fi function and NFC, and a smartphone application for remote control is prepared. In order to prevent interference and make settings such as button placement, first negotiate with each home appliance using NFC only once. All necessary settings can be made automatically just by linking the smartphone and each device close together. It can be operated in the same way as a normal remote control.

  Since Wi-Fi is used when the remote control code is transmitted from the smartphone to the home appliance, the remote control can be operated even if there is an obstacle on the way. A smartphone can perform bidirectional communication with each device using Wi-Fi. You can check the status of the washing machine from another room, so you can know the remaining time and the end of washing. Multiple home appliances can be operated just by switching the screen of the smartphone, and troubles such as flooding of a large number of remote controls or loss of remote controls can be avoided.

Since the remote control code is transmitted from each home appliance to the smartphone simply by touching, it is easier to set than the conventional learning remote control. Further, if negotiation with each home appliance is performed by NFC only once, troublesome settings such as button arrangement are automatically performed, and interference prevention can be linked simultaneously.
[Example of application to radar detectors]

  A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the present embodiment, the radar detector 300 corresponds to an electronic device according to the present invention, and the tablet computer 320, the notebook computer 340, and the smartphone 360 correspond to other electronic devices. Hereinafter, a case will be described as an example where the radar detector 300 functions as an electronic device according to the present invention and the tablet computer 320 functions as another electronic device according to the present invention.

  The radar detector 300 detects a radar wave emitted from a radar-type velocity measuring device, an automatic speed violation control device (commonly known as “Obis”), etc., and detects a radar wave by chime sound, LED blinking, character display, voice announcement, etc. It is a radar detector that informs detection. The radar detector 300 includes an NFC communication unit, a wireless LAN communication unit, a control unit, a position information acquisition unit, a database, a radar detection unit, and an interface unit.

  A control part is an example of the control means in this invention. In addition, the control unit controls the overall operation of the radar detector 300 by transmitting a command to each component of the radar detector 300 and receiving a status from each component. The radar detection unit detects a radar wave having a predetermined frequency and notifies the control unit of the detection.

  The interface unit includes an input function for receiving a user operation and an output function for presenting information to the user. The input function is realized by an operation button, a touch panel, a microphone, and the like, and the output function is realized by a liquid crystal display, an LED (light emitting diode), a speaker, and the like.

  The database stores position information of traffic monitoring points, position information of cancellation points that should be ignored even if radar waves are detected, position information of points that have been notified in the past, and the like. The position information acquisition unit is an example of a position information acquisition unit in the present invention, and is configured by, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System). The position information acquisition unit acquires current position information of the radar detector 300.

  The NFC communication unit is an example of a first communication unit in the present invention, and is a communication unit that enables short-range wireless communication. The wireless LAN communication unit is an example of a second communication unit in the present invention, and enables a wireless LAN communication unit having a communication capacity larger than that of short-range wireless communication and a long communication distance.

  The radar detector 300 configured as described above notifies the user that a radar wave has been detected in the following manner. When the control unit is notified that a radar wave has been detected from the radar detection unit, the control unit acquires the current position information from the position information acquisition unit, queries the database for the current position information, and the current position corresponds to the cancellation point. Check if it does. When the current position corresponds to the cancellation point, the control unit does not notify the interface unit. On the other hand, when the current position does not correspond to the cancellation point registered in the database, the position information of the traffic monitoring point and the control unit set the current position as a new cancellation point based on the position information of the point that has been notified in the past. Determine whether or not to do so. When it is determined that the current position should be set as a new cancellation point, the control unit automatically registers the current position information as a cancellation point in the database and ends the process without notification. When determining that the current position should not be set as a new cancellation point, the control unit controls the interface unit to inform the user that a radar wave has been detected by chime sound, LED blinking, character display, voice announcement, or the like. When the user confirms that traffic monitoring is not performed at the position, the user can manually register the current position as a cancellation point in the database by operating the radar detector 300.

  As described above, cancellation points are registered or accumulated in the database automatically or manually. In the radar detector 300, in addition to the cancellation point, a point at which traffic monitoring is performed can be automatically or manually registered. The radar detector 300 has editing functions such as correction of position information and name assignment for the position information accumulated in this way. However, the operability of the editing function is not always good due to the interface restrictions of the radar detector 300.

  The tablet computer 320 is a general-purpose tablet terminal having a short-range no-communication function and a wireless LAN communication function. An application that provides a function of editing data registered in the database of the radar detector 300 is installed in the tablet computer 320, and the user can use this application with a higher degree of freedom than in the radar detector 300. You can edit the data.

  When the radar detector 300 enters an area where the tablet computer 320 can communicate with the tablet computer 320 in a state where the application that provides the function of editing data in the tablet computer 320 is set to the “data read mode”, the radar detector 300 Information stored in the database is transmitted to the tablet computer 320 via the NFC communication unit.

  The user uses the application of the tablet computer 320 to edit the data read from the radar detector 300 with a high degree of freedom. In order to overwrite the edited data in the database of the radar detector 300, the radar detector 300 can communicate with the tablet computer 320 in short-distance wireless communication with the application of the tablet computer 320 set to the “data overwrite mode”. Enter the area. Then, the NFC communication unit of the radar detector 300 receives the edited data from the tablet computer 320 by short-range wireless communication, and the control unit stores the received data in the database. In this way, data stored in the database of the radar detector 300 can be edited using the editing function with a high degree of freedom of the tablet computer 320, and can be easily written back to the radar detector 300.

  By the way, in order to appropriately notify the user, various kinds of position information stored in the database of the radar detector 300 need to be updated to the latest information. In a conventional radar detector, update data is written into a memory card using a personal computer, the memory card is inserted into the radar detector, and the update data is read into the radar detector.

  As will be described below, the radar detector 300 of this embodiment receives update data through communication with the tablet computer 320 and updates the database. The tablet computer 320 acquires update data from a server 380 that distributes update data via a network such as the Internet, 3G (third generation mobile communication system), LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution), and the like.

  When the user touches the radar detector 300 with the tablet computer 320 that has acquired the update data, the NFC communication unit performs short-range wireless communication with the tablet computer 320 and receives setting information from the radar detector 300. By using NFC, update data can be provided only to the radar detector 300 in contact with the radar detector 300 even in a situation where there are a large number of radar detectors in the vicinity.

  The setting information includes, for example, update data of the position information of the traffic monitoring point, and the radar detector 300 may receive the update data from the tablet computer 320 by short-range wireless communication.

  As another method, the setting information may be information such as an IP address necessary for performing wireless LAN communication with the tablet computer 320, and key information (for example, an ID or a password) for providing update data. The radar detector 300 transmits the key information received from the tablet computer 320 to the tablet computer 320 via the wireless LAN communication unit and receives permission to receive update data. The radar detector 300 receives update data from the tablet computer 320 via the wireless LAN communication unit. According to this method, data can be transferred even when the data amount of the update data is larger than the data amount allowed in the short-range wireless communication. Further, since only the information and key information necessary for wireless LAN communication can be received by short-range wireless communication, contact between the radar detector 300 and the tablet computer 320 may be short.

  The control unit updates the database based on the update data received from the tablet computer 320. The database can be updated without requiring a complicated operation simply by inserting the tablet computer 320 storing the update data into an area communicable with the radar detector 300. For example, even in a limited space such as the inside of a vehicle, and even in the radar detector 300 where the operability of the input / output interface is not good, the database relating to the position information of the traffic monitoring point can be easily updated. it can. Further, the tablet computer 320 can provide update data only to a partner device that has been in contact and has performed short-range wireless communication. Therefore, even when there are a large number of radar detectors within a range where wireless LAN communication is possible (for example, an environment such as a parking lot), update data can be sent only to the intended radar detector. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the data in the database of the radar detector 300 from being updated unintentionally.

  Unlike conventional update methods using personal computers and memory cards, all work can be completed on the spot. There is no need to start a personal computer at home or carry a memory card to transfer data, so it can be easily updated to the latest information anytime and anywhere. Furthermore, if a dedicated application is prepared, it is possible to perform update work more easily than a personal computer operation, and it is possible to increase the chances of cultivating undeveloped users such as users with low personal computer skills and user groups who have not thought about updating due to annoyance. When the memory card reading / writing function is not required from the radar detector 300 and replaced with the NFC function, it is not necessary to provide an opening in the card mounting part or the housing, which is advantageous in terms of cost and design. The number of users who do not have a PC is increasing due to the spread of smartphones and tablets. In addition, with the spread of high-speed communication such as LTE, an infrastructure that can handle a large amount of data on a mobile terminal has been established. Diverse update methods can be provided without forcing the use of personal computers and memory cards.

  Do not force the use of a PC or memory card to update data. The threshold of data update can be made low and simple. Radar is not effective unless the data is rewritten because the location of the control is updated, but until now, the firmware has been exchanged in a PC or memory card. Data can be easily updated using a smartphone or tablet. Even a person who does not have a PC can capture data from a server with a smartphone or tablet and transfer it via short-range wireless communication.

  An application that can edit registration information such as cancellation points and various settings on a smartphone or a personal computer is prepared, and the arranged data is transferred to the radar detector 300. Using the map service of smartphones and PCs, it is possible to check the registered position in detail, adjust the position, and register a new position. Furthermore, when a point that is no longer needed is deleted, editing work that has been forced to be performed in a small space of the radar detector 300 or in a small space inside the vehicle can be comfortably edited on a large screen of a smartphone, personal computer, or tablet.

  Registration of cancellation points and the like can be performed by the radar detector 300 as before. The radar detector 300 transfers registration information to a smartphone or a personal computer using NFC. The tablet computer 320 uses a dedicated application to organize / edit registration information. The organized information is written back to the radar detector 300 again using NFC.

  The same registration information sucking, organizing / editing, and writing back processes can be applied to a car navigation system. The information of the point in the car navigation system is sucked out to the tablet via NFC, edited on the tablet, and written back to the navigation via NFC. Car navigation systems have large operational restrictions, and tablet editing means have few operational restrictions. Conventionally, the location information acquired by a sensor such as GPS is registered at the timing designated by the user, and editing such as naming is performed in the navigation. According to this, it is possible to improve difficult editing work that is forced in a small space in the vehicle.

[Application Example 1 to Navigation Device]
A fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a navigation device. In the present embodiment, the navigation device 400 corresponds to an electronic device according to the present invention, and the NFC tag 410 corresponds to another electronic device.

  The navigation device 400 has a thin rectangular case body that is installed on the dashboard of the vehicle. A display unit is provided on the front surface of the case body, and a touch panel for detecting which part of the display unit is touched is provided on the display unit. The navigation device 400 includes a storage unit, and map data and the like are recorded in the storage unit. The navigation device 400 performs map data when performing such navigation using the map data stored in the storage unit. In addition, the navigation device 400 includes an NFC communication unit, and when an external electronic device enters an area where the NFC communication unit can communicate with the NFC communication unit, the navigation device 400 performs short-range wireless communication with the electronic device and receives setting information from the electronic device. To do. The navigation device 400 further includes a control unit, and the control unit sets the navigation device 400 according to the setting information received by the NFC communication unit. The navigation device 400 further includes a GPS unit that detects position information of the current location, and a navigation unit that searches for a route from the current location to the set destination and guides the route according to the obtained route.

  The NFC tag 410 has a predetermined memory capacity (for example, about several hundred bytes), and can perform short-range wireless communication (for example, wireless communication of about 10 cm or communication with a communication distance as a distance between devices). A thin electronic device formed as a sticker, card, key holder, strap, or the like. Setting information for the navigation device 400 is stored in the memory in the NFC tag 410. The setting information stored in the NFC tag 410 may be any setting as long as it is a setting for the navigation device 400 such as a destination, a search condition such as “high speed priority” and “priority for general roads”, and a display mode of the screen. Good. A plurality of items of setting information may be stored in one NFC tag 410.

  In the navigation device 400 of this embodiment, the destination can be set immediately by simply holding the NFC tag 410 registered with the destination over the navigation device 400. If a plurality of tags are prepared for each destination, users who are not good at electronic devices quickly and easily can be freed from the hassle of searching for a destination by operating the touch panel of the navigation device 400 and scrolling through a long registration point list. The destination can be set with a simple operation by simply holding the tag. Setting can be made easier by providing a space on the surface of the tag where the registered content can be written, or by preparing multiple colors and shapes for the tag itself so that it can be easily identified. For example, in the case of an NFC tag for which high speed priority is set, it may be formed in a color or shape resembling a highway road sign, and an NFC tag for setting the home as a destination may be formed in the shape of a house. The NFC communication unit of the navigation device 400 may be configured to receive setting information stored in each NFC 410 when a plurality of NFC tags 410 are held together. According to such a configuration, it is possible to easily perform a desired setting by combining the NFC tags 410 by holding the NFC tags 410 for each setting item together. For example, by simultaneously holding an NFC tag that sets high-speed priority and an NFC tag that sets home as the destination, it is possible to collectively set the home as the destination with high-speed priority. Needless to say, the NFC tags 410 corresponding to the setting items can be collectively held in a free combination for other setting items.

  The navigation device 400 is equipped with a function for easily registering a current location or an arbitrary point on a map, and a mechanism for easily creating a new NFC tag is provided. For example, when it is desired to come to the current location again, the navigation device is set to the NFC writing mode and the NFC tag 410 is held over, so that the current location is stored in the NFC tag 410 as the destination.

[Application Example 2 to Navigation Device]
The fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a navigation device. In the present embodiment, the navigation device 500 corresponds to an electronic device according to the present invention, and the smartphone 510 corresponds to another electronic device.

  The configuration of the navigation device 500 is the same as that of the navigation device 400 described in the above-mentioned “Application Example 1 to Navigation Device”, and therefore the description of matters that are not different will be omitted here.

  Smartphone 510 includes an NFC communication unit, a network communication unit, a control unit, and a touch panel display. The NFC communication unit is a communication unit that enables short-range wireless communication. The network communication unit is connected to a network such as the Internet and can access various information connected to the network. The control unit executes a setting application for the navigation device. In addition, the control unit controls the overall operation of the smartphone 510 by transmitting a command to each component of the smartphone 510 and receiving a status from each component.

  The user searches for a destination with the smartphone 510 and acquires various types of information regarding the destination. At that time, the user also acquires location information (for example, address, latitude / longitude) of the destination, and sets it as a setting application. Register as a destination. Along with the position information, the target name is also registered in the setting application. The keyword used during the search may be set as the destination name. In this state, when the smartphone 510 is held over the navigation device 500, the destination registered in the setting application is sent to the navigation device 500 by short-range wireless communication, and is set as the destination by the control unit of the navigation device 500. When this destination is not registered as a registered spot in the navigation device, the control unit registers the destination as a new registered spot.

  The point searched by the smartphone 510 or the tablet computer 520 equipped with the NFC function is immediately transferred as the destination. Even if you do not know a new leisure spot or address or name accurately, you can search for a small amount of information and search for it by searching the Internet. The conventional navigation device 500 has been difficult to find a place that the user does not know or a place that has been made after purchasing the navigation device 500, but in cooperation with the smartphone 510 and the tablet computer 520, the navigation device that can always acquire the latest information. Continue to evolve to 500. It is also possible to designate and transfer a destination by voice search of the smartphone 510, and to release from complicated button operations.

This is simpler than the conventional method of registering the map against the display of the navigation device, and a new destination can be easily set even by a user who is not familiar with the operation.

[Application Example 3 to Navigation Device]
A sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a navigation device. In the present embodiment, the navigation device 600 corresponds to an electronic device according to the present invention, and the smartphone 610 corresponds to another electronic device.

  The configurations of the navigation device 600 and the smartphone 610 are the same as those of the navigation device 400 and the smartphone 410 described in “Application Example 2 to Navigation Device”, respectively, and therefore, the description of items that are not different will be omitted here.

  The user uses an SNS (Social Networking Service) on the smartphone 610 and sets a category of interest in the SNS. Examples of SNS include, but are not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn, mixi, GREE, Mobage, and Ameba. In the SNS, the user registers so as to acquire SNS post information in which the so-called “timeline” and the posts of the user himself / herself and other users selected by the user and posts related to the selected keyword are displayed in time series. In addition, the user sets a destination in the navigation device 600 and starts guidance to the destination. For example, when the user departs toward the destination, the user holds the navigation device 600 over the smartphone 610 and transmits the SNS posting information to the navigation device 600 using short-range wireless communication. The SNS post information transmitted to the navigation device 600 may be post information for a predetermined period (for example, the past one hour). The information on the navigation device 600 side is not updated unless the smartphone 610 is held over again.

  The navigation unit of the navigation device 600 analyzes the SNS posting information acquired from the smartphone 610, extracts information on spots along the guide route to the destination, and presents the information to the user. The navigation unit may display an alert on the map displayed on the display unit when approaching a predetermined distance to the extracted spot. In the analysis of SNS posting information, information on categories set in advance by the user may be extracted, but a series of information included in the SNS posting information is clustered to infer a category in which the user is highly interested and automatically More preferably, the category to be extracted is determined. It should be noted that the SNS posting information is generally narrowed down by a smartphone, and detailed information processing is preferably performed by the navigation device 600. The amount of information to be transmitted by short-range wireless communication can be suppressed, and the total processing time can be shortened by sharing the processing.

  The navigation unit receives vehicle information related to the state of the vehicle using OBD (On-board diagnostics), and selectively presents spot information to the user based on the vehicle information. For example, the navigation unit uses the OBD to receive the remaining amount of gasoline, and when the remaining amount of gasoline is equal to or less than a predetermined value, extracts information on a gas station along the guide route with a lower unit price from the SNS posting information. A button that prompts the user to add a place to the destination is displayed on the display unit. The user may add the destination by pressing the displayed button, or may not add the destination without pressing the button. When a predetermined time elapses without the addition of the destination, the navigation unit terminates the button display on the display unit and sets the gas station at the position corresponding to the gas station on the map displayed on the display unit. The icon to show is displayed. Thereafter, when the user presses the icon, the navigation unit causes the display unit to re-display a button that prompts the user to add the emergency location to the destination. In the case of the navigation device 500 installed in an electric vehicle, the remaining amount of the battery is received using the OBD, and the charging station information is extracted from the SNS posted information and presented to the user when the remaining amount is equal to or less than the predetermined value. Good.

  The navigation unit selectively presents the spot information to the user based on the current time. For example, when the current time is close to lunch time, the navigation unit extracts information on restaurants and reputable stores along the guidance route from the SNS posting information, and prompts the user to add the extracted stores to the destination Is displayed on the display. The navigation unit may preferentially present to the user information that has a lot of poster recommendations (for example, “Like” or “Retweet”) in the SNS post information. Information about the restaurant may be displayed for 30 minutes before and after a meal time (for example, noon), or the information display may be discontinued until a predetermined time (for example, 14:00). When determining the display closing time, it is preferable to consider the average closing time of the store. A navigation part selects the shop shown to a user based on the character string of SNS contribution information. For example, the navigation unit assigns a score to each store based on the character string of the SNS posting information, and determines the priority of presentation according to the score. Stores mentioned in posts that included strings such as “delicious”, “cheap”, and “deal” increased the score and included strings such as “break” and “sorry” Decrease the score for the store mentioned in the post.

  In addition, the navigation unit may analyze the SNS post information with emphasis on the information transmitted by the user in the SNS post information. For example, if the information transmitted by the user includes a character string “I am hungry”, information about the restaurant is preferentially presented.

  A navigation part changes the frequency which shows the information of a spot to a user according to the time which passed since the user finally held the smart phone 610 over the navigation apparatus 600 and received SNS posting information. For example, the navigation unit frequently presents information immediately after receiving the SNS posting information, and reduces the frequency of presenting information as time passes. Since it is considered that the user holds the smartphone 610 over the navigation device 600 as an intention indication that the user wants spot information, it is preferable to present spot information around the guidance route immediately after updating the SNS post information. Further, when the SNS posting information is not updated over a long period of time, it is highly likely that the user is concentrated on arriving at the current destination, so it is preferable to reduce the frequency of information presentation. When the SNS posting information is not updated over a long period of time, the navigation device 600 may prompt the user to update the SNS posting information. A user who simply forgets to update can be reminded to update the SNS posting information.

  According to the navigation device 600 described above, if a category of interest such as a cheap gas station or a gourmet spot is set in the smartphone 610, information is automatically obtained from the SNS and transferred to the navigation device 600 using NFC. The navigation device 600 can alert when the place is approached. It should be a little weaker than the destination registration, and it should be a system that can provide timely information on the roads that have passed. When linked with OBD, only information that is organized as if controlled by artificial intelligence, such as gas station information rising only when the remaining amount of gasoline is low, gourmet information is linked with the clock, alerted only during meals, etc. It is good to prepare it so that it will come up.

  The smart phone 610 and the tablet can check the SNS information according to the information on the category to be obtained in advance according to the state and time of the car, and can be transferred to the navigation device 600. Notify at a good timing when passing nearby. The navigation device announces information that is useful but not necessary to make it a destination according to time and place. It is displayed when there is a recommended store (restaurant or reputable restaurant at the time of meal) instead of the destination, along the route searched along the route (along the route). Navi senses what you need and gives you information. The information flowing on the SNS is narrowed down by the travel location, time zone, etc. with the smartphone 610 or the navigation device 600 and notified. Information along the guidance route is used so that it does not pass through places close to SNS topics, such as places with many likes, recommended sightseeing spots, superb view points, shooting points, etc. 600 is automatically presented.
