  The same device determination unit 258 determines whether or not the BT device and the WF device are mounted on the same device based on the BT identification information and the WF identification information. Here, it is determined whether or not they are the same portable terminal. In a certain aspect, when the portable terminal is connected to the in-vehicle device 10 by the BT communication 30, the same device determination unit 258 uses the BT identification information of the BT device connected by the BT communication 30 and the WF device search unit 212.

When it is determined that the BT device and the WF device are the same device, the BT identification information and the WF identification information are used to identify the BT identification information and the WF identification information so that the BT identification information and the WF identification information can be identified. You may make it give to. Details of the method for determining whether or not they are the same device will be described later.

  When the same device determination unit 258 determines that the same device is the same device, the process execution unit 260 executes various processes. Preferably, when the BT device is connected, the processing execution unit 260 performs processing that facilitates connection with the WF device that is the same device as the BT device, or when the WF device is connected. Processing is performed to facilitate connection between the WF device and the BT device that is the same device. For example, when the device name list of a plurality of BT devices searched by the BT device search unit 202 is displayed, the process execution unit 260 displays the device names of the BT devices of the same device so as to identify and display them. To control. Alternatively, the process execution unit 260 controls the connection establishment unit 204 so that a BT device that is the same device as the WF device is automatically connected. The same applies when the relationship between the BT device and the WF device is opposite.

  Next, details of the same device determination unit 258 will be described. FIG. 5 shows a functional configuration of the same device determination unit 258. The same device determination unit 258 includes a BT mask unit 270 that masks part of the BT identification information, a WF mask unit 272 that masks part of the WF identification information, the masked BT identification information, and the masked WF identification information. And a determination unit 276 that determines whether or not the devices are the same based on the comparison result of the comparison unit 274.

  The BT mask unit 270 masks a part of the BT identification information. In an aspect, the BT mask unit 270 masks information on a predetermined position of the BT identification information. In another aspect, the BT mask unit 270 changes information to be masked according to the manufacturer of the BT device. In this case, the storage unit 150 stores mask information that defines the masking position of the BT identification information corresponding to the manufacturer type, and the BT mask unit 270 performs BT identification according to the mask information read from the storage unit 150. The information to be masked is determined.

  The WF mask unit 272 masks a part of the WF identification information. In one aspect, the WF mask unit 272 masks information on a predetermined position of the WF identification information. In another aspect, the WF mask unit 272 changes information to be masked according to the manufacturer of the WF device. In this case, the storage unit 150 stores mask information that defines the masking position of the WF identification information corresponding to the manufacturer type, and the WF mask unit 272 performs WF identification according to the mask information read from the storage unit 150. The information to be masked is determined.

  The comparison unit 274 compares the masked BT identification information with the masked WF identification information, and the comparison result is provided to the determination unit 276. The determination unit 276 determines whether the BT device and the WF device are the same device based on whether the two pieces of masked information match or whether they partially match. In the above example, the masked BT identification information is compared with the masked WF identification information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the BT identification information is compared with the WF identification information. The part may be masked.

  Next, BT identification information and WF identification information will be described. FIG. 6 illustrates BT identification information and WF identification information of each of the BT device and WF device mounted on the mobile terminal. The BT identification information and the WF identification information are identification information uniquely assigned to the BT device and the WF device, and the identification information includes character strings such as letters, numbers, and symbols.

  The BT identification information typically uses a BD_ADDR (Bluetooth address) specific to the BT device, and the WF identification information typically uses a MAC address specific to the WF device. BD_ADDR is represented by a combination of 12-digit characters or numbers, and the MAC address is similarly represented by a combination of 12-digit characters or numbers. If BT device and WF device are mounted on the same device (same mobile terminal), BD_ADDR and MAC address are different in only a part of letters or numbers of BD_ADDR and MAC address for easy management of the manufacturer. Other letters and numbers can be the same.

  6A is an example of the BD_ADDR of the BT device and the MAC address of the WF device mounted on the mobile terminal A of the manufacturer A, and FIG. 6B shows the BD_ADDR and the MAC of the mobile terminal B of the same manufacturer A. It is an example of an address. 6C is an example of the BD_ADDR and the MAC address of the mobile terminal C of the manufacturer B, and FIG. 6D is an example of the BD_ADDR and the MAC address of the mobile terminal D of the manufacturer C.

  In the case of FIG. 6A, only the information “AA” and “AB” in the last two-digit position 340 are different, and the other information is the same. Also in the case of FIG. 6B, only the information “6F” and “70” of the last two-digit position 342 are different, and the other information is the same. In the case of FIG. 6C, only the information “ac” and “BC” in the 7- to 8-digit position 344 are different, and the remaining information is the same. In the case of FIG. 6D, except for the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters, only the information “eb” and “EA” in the last two-digit position 346 are different, and the other information is the same. As described above, the BD_ADDR and the MAC address of the BT device and the WF device mounted on the same device have a characteristic that only part of the information is different and other information is the same. Therefore, if BD_ADDR and a part of the information of the MAC address are masked and the remaining information of both matches, it can be determined that the BT device and the WF device are mounted on the same device.

  Since the position where the BD_ADDR and the MAC address have a difference is different depending on the manufacturer, it is desirable that mask information defining information masked by the BD_ADDR and the MAC address is stored in the storage unit 150 in advance for each manufacturer. If the BT identification information and the WF identification information include the manufacturer ID of the BT device and the WF device, the BT mask unit 270 and the WF mask 272 read the mask information corresponding to the manufacturer from the storage unit 150, and follow the mask information. A portion of the BD_ADDR and MAC address can be masked.

  On the other hand, when the manufacturer cannot be identified from the BT identification information and the WF identification information, the BT mask unit 270 and the WF mask unit 272 may not mask the BD_ADDR and the MAC address at all. In this case, when the BT device and the WF device are mounted on the same device, the comparison result by the comparison unit 274 is not a complete match but a partial match. The determination unit 276 may determine that the devices are the same if the percentage of partial matches or the number of partial matches is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

  Next, FIG. 7 shows a flowchart for determining whether the BT device and the WF device in the in-vehicle apparatus of this embodiment are the same device. Here, an example is shown in which a mobile terminal is first connected to the in-vehicle device 10 by BT communication 30 and then connected to the same mobile terminal by WF communication.

  First, the portable terminal is connected to the in-vehicle device 10 by the BT communication 30 (S100). Thereby, the BT identification information acquisition unit 254 acquires BT identification information including BD_ADDR (S102). Thereafter, when the user inputs an instruction for setting WF communication to the in-vehicle device 10, in response to this, the WF device search unit 212 searches for a mobile terminal capable of WF communication within a certain range (S104). ). When the WF device is searched, the WF identification information acquisition unit 256 acquires the WF identification information including the MAC address from the WF device search unit 212 (S106).

  The same device determination unit 258 determines whether or not the manufacturer of the BT device and the WF device can be identified based on the BT identification information and the WF identification information (S108). If it is determined that the manufacturer can be identified, the same device determination unit 258 reads the mask information of the corresponding manufacturer from the storage unit 150 (S110), and the BT mask unit 270 and the WF mask unit 272 follow the mask information. , BD_ADDR and a part of the MAC address are masked (S112). On the other hand, when it is determined that the manufacturer is not identifiable, the BT mask unit 270 and the WF mask unit 272 mask information on predetermined positions of the BD_ADDR and the MAC address, or do not perform masking at all (S114). ). Next, the comparison unit 274 compares the BD_ADDR with the MAC address (S116), and the determination unit 276 determines whether or not they are the same device based on the comparison result (S118). When it is determined that they are the same device, the process execution unit 260 executes a process for promoting the connection of the searched WF device (S120). If it is determined that they are not the same device, it is determined whether there is another searched WF device (S122). If there is another searched WF device, the processing from step S108 is repeated.

  The flow shown in FIG. 7 shows a case where the mobile terminal is connected first by BT communication and then WF communication is performed. On the contrary, the mobile terminal is connected first by WF communication, and then The same processing is executed when BT communication is performed.

  Next, the process for facilitating connection of the same device shown in step S120 of FIG. 7 will be described. In the first preferred mode, when connecting the BT device or the WF device, a process is performed to facilitate selection of the BT device or the WF device of the same device.

  FIG. 8 is an example of a list 400 displayed on a screen for setting a BT device or a WF device. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, when a WF device is searched, the device name of the searched WF device is listed in the list 400. When the user selects a WF device to be connected from the list 400, the connection establishment unit 214 establishes communication with the selected WF device. The list 400 displays WF devices searched by the WF device search unit 212. In addition, the list 400 displays WF devices searched in the past by the WF device search unit 212 and WF devices connected in the past. There is. As a result, a large number of device names of a plurality of WF devices that can be connected or have been connected in the past are displayed in the list 400. Therefore, the user has to search for the WF device of the same device by operating the scroll key 410 or the like, and the operation becomes complicated.

  The process execution unit 260 executes identification display so that the device name of the WF device determined to be the same device by the same device determination unit 258 can be distinguished from other device names. When it is assumed that the WF device of the same device is the device 20, FIG. 8A is an example of the list before the identification display is executed, and the device 20 is not displayed on the first page of the list. In order to facilitate the selection of the device 20, the process execution unit 260 highlights the device 20 as shown in FIG. 8B, for example, and displays the device 20 on the first page without operating the scroll 410. Is automatically sorted so as to be displayed, or the identification mark 420 is added to the device 20. With such identification display, the user can easily recognize the WF device of the same device and connect it to the WF.

  In the above example, the case where a WF device is selected from a list has been described. Needless to say, such an identification display can also be applied to a list displaying a BT device.

  In the second preferred mode, the process execution unit 260 automatically connects the WF device or the BT device of the same device. In the example of FIG. 7, when it is determined that the WF device is the same device, the process execution unit 260 can control the connection establishment unit 214 to automatically connect the WF device of the same device. By such automatic connection, user input for selecting a WF device from the list as shown in FIG. 8 can be omitted. Similarly, even when it is determined that the BT device is the same device, the BT device can be automatically connected.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Normally, when pairing by BT communication is performed for the first time, mutual authentication information (passkey or PIN code) must be exchanged to perform device authentication. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the mobile terminal is connected by the WF communication 40, the WF communication unit 210 acquires the authentication information held in the BT communication unit of the mobile terminal, and uses the authentication information as the WF device. Are stored in association with the same BT device. Thereby, when the BT device is automatically connected, it is not necessary to acquire authentication information again, and pairing can be easily performed.

  FIG. 9 shows an operation flow for acquiring authentication information necessary for pairing of the BT communication 30 from the portable terminal when the in-vehicle device 10 and the portable terminal are connected by the WT communication 40. The communication connection program 250 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the mobile terminal is connected to the in-vehicle device 10 by the WF communication unit 210 (S200). When it is determined that the mobile terminal is connected by WF communication, the same device determination unit 258 specifies a BT device mounted on the same device as the connected WF device (S202). Specifically, the BT identification information corresponding to the WF identification information of the connected WF device is searched from the list shown in FIG.

  Next, the communication connection program 250 controls the WF communication unit 210 and transmits a control signal requesting transmission of authentication information of the BT device (device having the same profile) of the mobile terminal connected via WF communication. (S204). In response to the control signal, the portable terminal transmits authentication information of the BT device via WF communication, which is received by the data transmission / reception unit 216 (S206). Next, the communication connection program 250 stores the received authentication information in association with the corresponding BT device (S208). As described above, by acquiring authentication information of the BT device in advance, pairing with the BT device is facilitated, and automatic connection of the BT device can be enabled even if it is the first pairing. .

  The above example shows an example of acquiring authentication information of a BT device mounted on a mobile terminal connected via WF communication, but WF mounted on a mobile terminal connected via BT communication. You may make it acquire the authentication information of an apparatus.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention described in the claims. Deformation / change is possible.
