  Some of the applications that can be executed by the portable device include business software and games that are not supposed to be used in a vehicle, or assumed to be used in a vehicle such as car navigation, or There are also applications suitable for in-vehicle use, and the latter is considered to be frequently used in the vehicle. Some users may always use the same application in the vehicle, or may want to use the same application in the vehicle as used last time. However, in the conventional portable device, if the user does not perform certain operations, such as displaying a home screen and touching an icon of a target application, activation of an application suitable for use in a vehicle or the like Could not switch to another application.

  Also, portable devices are generally envisioned for use as general purpose computers. Considering the use for general purpose, it is desirable to be able to perform various input operations. Therefore, in these portable devices, an input function such as a UI can be performed to perform as many input operations as possible on the assumption that the operation is at a position relatively close to the hand and / or focused on the screen. Is optimized. For example, in a hand-held operation, it is assumed that the portable device is held with the left hand at a position of about 20 cm from the eye, the left hand is bowed, and the screen of the right hand is touched and operated. On the other hand, assuming use in a vehicle, it is not appropriate to use the above input function as it is. When installed on a dashboard etc., the distance between the user and the portable device is longer than in the case of hand-held, extending the elbow to the portable device installed on the dashboard etc, and operating It is difficult to perform detailed operations because it is installed at a position not in front of the user because it does not interfere with driving visibility, etc., and there is shaking during traveling, and when the user is driving This is because the operation while watching on the screen is not preferable for safety. Therefore, it is desirable to provide an appropriate input function according to the use scene outside the vehicle and in the vehicle.

  The present application discloses an invention that addresses all or part of the above problems or other problems.

  In the present application, for example, the inventions described in the following configuration examples are disclosed.

<Configuration Example 1>
A portable device capable of operating with power supplied from a plurality of external power sources including a vehicle and power supplied from an internal battery, and capable of executing a plurality of applications,
A vehicle power supply determination function that determines the presence or absence of power supply from the vehicle;
Last, which is storage means for storing information indicating the application being executed at the time of the first transition, when there is a first transition that is a transition from a state where there is power supply from a vehicle to a state where there is no power supply. Last application storage function stored in application storage means,
It has a last application activation function for activating the application indicated by the information stored in the last application storage means when there is a second transition which is a transition from a state where there is no power supply from the vehicle to a state where there is power supply Portable device.

  According to such a configuration, when there is a second transition, it is possible to launch an application that was being executed at the time of the first transition. (Hereinafter, "the application being executed at the time of the first transition" is referred to as "last application".) Therefore, even if the user does not particularly perform the operation, the portable device is supplied with power from the vehicle. The last application can be used simply by changing from the absence state to the existence state. In this configuration example, even if an application other than the last application is used in a state where there is no power supply from the vehicle after the first transition, if there is a second transition thereafter, the last application is activated. Therefore, for example, the user enjoys the convenience that the same application as the user last used at the time of the last ride can be automatically started by the second transition even at the time of the current ride. Can. Generally, the type of application used by the user is different between the case where the portable device is used inside the vehicle and the case where it is used outside the vehicle, and it is considered that a specific application is often used inside the vehicle. It is convenient for the user that the same application used for the last ride is automatically started on the current ride.

  The determination of the presence or absence of power supply from the vehicle can be made by various methods. For example, the portable device may communicate with the vehicle to determine whether the portable device is in the vehicle, and when power is supplied in the vehicle, it may be determined that power is supplied from the vehicle.

  The information indicating the last application may be information for starting execution of the last application, for example, may be an activation path of the last application.

  When the last application storage unit is configured by a non-volatile memory, the last transition occurs even when there is a second transition even when there is a power supply loss from an external power supply, a battery depletion of a portable device, an off operation by a power button, etc. It is possible to activate the application indicated by the information stored in the application storage means.

  The storage of the last application in the last application storage means may be performed immediately after the first transition, because the storage of the last application can be made more reliable. For example, even if there is almost no remaining amount of the internal battery, it is considered that the power required to store the last application can be charged by the power supply from the vehicle before the first transition.

  In the configuration that "the operation is possible by power supply from multiple external power sources including vehicles and power supply from internal battery", when the internal battery is charged by power supply from external power source and power supply from external power source is cut off By continuing the power supply from the battery, it is preferable that the operation can be continued. The last application storage function is preferably performed when there is such a change in the power supply state, and may be performed when power is supplied from the internal battery.

  For example, a configuration in which a plurality of applications can be switched and operated in a time division manner on an operating system capable of executing a plurality of applications by, for example, multitasking is preferable as a configuration capable of executing a plurality of applications. (A dot matrix display, for example) is configured to perform drawing by executing an application program, and in particular, an area of almost the entire area of the screen by one application program (e.g., an almost entire area except an area used by the operating system) In the configuration that operates by occupying), it exerts a particularly excellent effect. For example, in order to facilitate touch operation to a touch panel provided on the screen or to reduce power consumption when executing an application, an operating system that operates by occupying almost the entire area of the screen by one application program Exerts excellent effects in application programs (eg, activities in Android). For example, since almost the entire area of the screen is occupied by one application program, the last application can be uniquely determined, and a plurality of application programs share the entire screen with, for example, a window etc. There is no need to decide which window's app to use. When the OS is Android (registered trademark), applications of “plural applications” may be activities.

  In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of application programs share, for example, the entire screen in a window or the like, one application or a plurality of applications determined by a predetermined rule may be the last application, but all applications are the last application You should do it.

<Configuration Example 2>
The feeding of power from the vehicle to the portable device and the feeding of power from an external power source other than the vehicle to the portable device are performed via cables of different specifications.
The portable apparatus characterized in that the vehicle power supply determination function determines the presence or absence of power supply from a vehicle based on a difference in specification of the cable.

  By doing this, it may be possible to automate the determination of the presence or absence of power supply from the vehicle. For example, as a cable for supplying power from a vehicle, a cable with a specific line connected to GND is used, and as a cable for power from a power supply other than a vehicle, a cable with a specific line opened is used. It is preferable to determine the presence or absence of power supply from the vehicle depending on whether the above specific line is GND or open.

<Configuration Example 3>
It also has another power source judgment function that judges the presence or absence of power supply from an external power source other than the vehicle,
When there is a third transition that is a transition from a state with power supply from an external power supply other than a vehicle to a state without power supply, information indicating the application being executed at the time of the third transition is stored in storage means A portable device characterized by not storing.

In this way, it is possible to prevent an increase in processing load due to storing information that is not used, use of storage capacity, and the like.
<Configuration Example 4>
A portable device characterized in that the last application activation function is not executed when the second transition is made while the portable device is in a power-on state.

  When the portable device is powered on, the user may be using another application, and when the application indicated by the information stored in the last application storage unit is activated, the user is in use. The application may be terminated. In this configuration example, it is preferable to be able to prevent inconveniences such as the application being used by the user being forcibly terminated by activating the last application.

<Configuration Example 5>
A portable device, further comprising: a first transition sleep function to execute transition of the portable device to a sleep state when there is the first transition.

  In this configuration example, it may be possible to prevent consumption of the internal battery when the power on state continues after the first transition. This configuration example is particularly useful in a mode in which power can be received from the vehicle only when the engine of the vehicle is on. Assuming that the portable device is used on a daily basis in a state of being connected to the power supply cable of the vehicle, in this aspect, low charge is likely to occur due to charging only while driving, so the utility of this configuration is high . Especially useful when the user's daily driving time is short, or in summer when the internal battery is not charged when the temperature is high.

<Configuration Example 6>
The first transition sleep function is
The transition to the sleep state is executed after a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from the first transition,
A portable device characterized by stopping transition to the sleep state when a predetermined operation is performed on the portable device within the standby time.

  In this configuration example, the transition to the sleep state can be stopped by a predetermined operation within a predetermined standby time, and the user can continue to use the portable device after the second transition as necessary. It will be good. The predetermined waiting time may be, for example, 5 seconds. The predetermined operation may be, for example, an operation on the power supply button or an operation on the touch panel. For example, when there is a first transition, the first transitional sleep function displays a message to notify the user that the mobile phone shifts to the sleep state after the standby time elapses, and a predetermined operation is performed within the standby time. If so, you may want to clear the display.

<Configuration Example 7>
The portable device according to claim 1, wherein the first transition sleep function stops the background task when executing the transition to the sleep state.

  In this configuration example, the background task is stopped at the time of transition to the sleep state by the first transition sleep function, so that the ability to prevent exhaustion of the internal battery is enhanced. The first transition sleep function may stop all or part of the background task. If the OS is Android®, all or part of the service may be stopped. For example, if it is configured to stop communication functions such as WLAN and Bluetooth (registered trademark), even if the user leaves the vehicle with the portable device in the vehicle, the portable device from the outside of the vehicle or It is even better because security can be enhanced, such as preventing unauthorized use of data. If the audio output is stopped at the time of transition to the sleep state by the first transition sleep function, the user may think that the portable device appears to be turned off in conjunction with the second transition. As the audio output continues, it is possible to prevent an unnatural feeling that can be given to the user.

<Configuration Example 8>
A portable device characterized by further comprising a car mode transition function of transitioning to a car mode in which the GPS function and / or the communication function of the portable device is enabled when there is the second transition.

  Applications used in vehicles often use GPS and / or communication capabilities. For example, a car navigation application may require a GPS function, and may need to connect to the net via a WLAN or the like. In addition, the application for hands-free calling requires communication with a mobile phone using wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). In the present configuration example, when there is the second transition, it is possible to shift to the car mode in which the GPS function and / or the communication function are enabled, so that the use of such an application becomes smooth. In the car mode, it is preferable to prohibit the user from disabling the GPS function and / or the communication function. In this way, it is possible to ensure smooth use of the application used in the vehicle, and since the power supply is secured by the power supply from the vehicle, the GPS function and / or the communication function are invalidated. It may be possible to give priority to the convenience of the user who does not need to set the GPS function and / or the communication function while driving, etc., rather than preventing the internal battery from being consumed accordingly.

<Configuration Example 9>

  In this configuration example, since two types of launcher screens in which icons of different sizes are arranged can be used, user convenience may be enhanced. In addition, when the last application is the first launcher application, the second launcher screen in which the large-sized icon is arranged by the second transition is displayed. The second launcher screen is easy to operate because the size of the icon is large. When the portable device is installed in a vehicle and used, the distance between the user and the portable device increases, the user extends and operates the elbow with respect to the portable device installed in the dashboard, etc., the user Because the portable device is installed at a position not in front of the user in order not to disturb the driving visibility etc. of the user, there is shaking during traveling, and the user can not gaze at the screen during driving, etc. It is difficult to perform detailed operations, and the convenience of the user may be improved by displaying a second launcher screen that is easy to operate instead of the first launcher screen.

  The icon may be, for example, an image to which a function such as activating an application corresponding to the icon is assigned when the icon is operated. For example, when the icon of the second launcher screen is activated in its entirety and configured to execute the function corresponding to the icon 121 regardless of which part of the icon is operated, the ease of operation improves. So good.

<Configuration Example 10>
It also has a navigation bar display function that displays a navigation bar with icons arranged,
The second launcher screen has an icon placement area where icons can be placed and a blank area where no icons are placed,
The portable device, wherein the blank area is disposed between the navigation bar and the icon arrangement area.

  In this configuration example, since the blank area is arranged between the navigation bar and the icon arrangement area, a user who intends to operate the icon in the icon arrangement area is less likely to have a disadvantage such as erroneously operating the navigation. So good. In this configuration example, in the configuration provided with an icon for transitioning to the first launcher screen in the navigation bar, the user erroneously operates the icon and the transition to the first launcher screen where the operation in the on-vehicle use situation is difficult This is particularly preferable because the inconvenience of causing the problem does not easily occur. In the present configuration example, in a portable device in which the navigation bar is always displayed by the OS, the necessity of the configuration example is high in order to prevent an erroneous operation of the navigation bar.

A portable apparatus characterized by further comprising a voice command execution function of executing a function assigned to the registered icon when the speech recognition of any of the words is performed.

  In this configuration example, since the user can operate the icon of the second launcher screen by uttering a voice command, operability may be further improved. When the voice command registration function is configured to register any voice command selected from a plurality of voice commands, the target of voice recognition is limited to the plurality of voice commands, so the process relating to voice recognition is simplified. Because it is done, it is good. If the voice command registration function is configured not to register the same voice command with respect to a plurality of icons, the processing performed by the voice command execution function may be simplified. The voice command execution function may execute the function of the icon only when the second launcher screen is displayed.

<Configuration Example 12>
The icon arranged on the second launcher screen has a name display unit,
In the name display unit of the icon for which the word is not registered, the name of the function assigned to the icon is displayed;
A portable apparatus characterized by displaying the word / phrase registered to the icon on the name display unit of the icon in which the word / phrase is registered.

  In this configuration example, the user may easily recognize the voice command that needs to be uttered in order to operate the icon.

<Configuration Example 13>
A second launcher application displays a predetermined voice mark on an icon in which the word / phrase is registered.

  In this configuration example, the user may recognize that the voice command is registered in the icon by the voice mark. If the voice mark is, for example, a mark having a shape representing a person speaking, the user may understand that the user is asked to speak. For example, in the configuration example 11 which cites the configuration example 10, the user can operate the icon by reading out the name display portion of the icon with the voice mark, which may be easy for the user to understand.

<Configuration Example 14>
A unique name call is set for each of the positions where icons can be arranged on the second launcher screen,
A portable apparatus characterized by further comprising a second voice command execution function of executing a function assigned to the icon placed at the set position where the recognized call is made, when the call is voice-recognized.

  In this configuration example, the user can operate the icon of the second launcher screen also by uttering the appellation set for each arrangement position of the icon. The ease of operation is further improved. Since the position of the icon determines the admonition for icon operation, the user may easily remember the adjective required for the operation of each icon. For example, arranging the icons in a matrix form and setting serial numbers such as 1, 2, 3... From the upper left may be easily understood by the user.

  FIG. 5A shows an example of the home screen 110. In the home screen 110, icons 111 for executing various applications are arranged. When each icon 111 is touched on the home screen 110, the control unit 31 activates an application corresponding to the icon 111. For example, when the icon 111 a (the icon of “car navigation”) in FIG. 5 is touched, a screen 112 by an application corresponding to the icon 111 a is displayed on the application display unit 101 as shown in FIG.

  The user can arrange, on the home screen 110, the icon 111 corresponding to any installed application (for example, an application that the user often uses) stored in the application storage unit 33a. The size of the icons on the home screen 110 is relatively small, and more icons 111 can be arranged. Thus, the user can conveniently launch more types of applications from the home screen 110. The size and arrangement interval of the icons 111 are determined such that the operability is comfortable when the user holds the portable device 1 with one hand and operates at a position relatively close to the eye. Each icon 111 is only activated near the center, and the corresponding application is only touched when the center is touched, so that the trouble of unintentionally activating the application when touching the adjacent icon 111 is reduced. Is supposed to start.

  As the car launcher display function causes the application display unit 101 to display the car launcher screen 120 by the control unit 31 executing the second launcher application stored in the application storage unit 33a, the setting button 103f in the navigation bar 103 Is a function to display additional. The car launcher display function performs this display when the car launcher button 103 e is touched and according to the control of the state transition function described later. If there is a forward application at the time of executing the car launcher display function, the control unit 31 causes the car launcher screen 120 to be displayed after the forward application is put on the back stack and is put to sleep.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the car launcher screen 120. The car launcher screen 120 occupies the entire area of the application display unit 101. The car launcher screen 120 has an icon arrangement area 120 a located above the application display unit 101 and a blank area 120 b located below the application display unit 101. In the icon placement area 120a, eight icons 121 of a relatively large size and roughly square are arranged at equal intervals in two rows and four columns.

  Each icon 121 includes a number display portion 121a for displaying icon numbers 1 to 8, a pattern display portion 121b for displaying a pattern representing an application, a voice mark display portion 121c for displaying a voice mark, and a name display portion 121d. Have. The pattern display unit 121b and the name display unit 121d are displayed only on the icon 121 for which the application is registered by an application registration function described later, and the voice mark display unit 121c is an icon for which a voice command is registered by a voice command registration function described later. It is displayed only at 121. However, when the voice command function described later is off, the car launcher display function hides the voice mark. The name of the application is displayed on the name display unit 121 d. The display of the name display unit 121 d will be described later. Only the number display unit 121 a is displayed on the icon 121 for which the application has not been registered.

  When an icon 121 registered with an application is touched on the car launcher screen 120, the control unit 31 activates a corresponding application. For example, in FIG. 6A, when the icon 121 of the icon number 1 (the icon of "car navigation") is touched, the screen 112 by the application corresponding to the icon 111a is an application display unit as shown in FIG. It is displayed on 101.

  The entire icon 121 is active, and when any part of the icon 121 is touched, the control unit 31 activates an application corresponding to the icon 121. The icon 121 is not arranged in the blank area 120b. Even if the blank area 120 b or the icon 121 for which the application has not been registered is touched, the control unit 31 does not perform any operation.

  Since the number of icons 121 is small and the arrangement thereof is determined, the user can easily recognize the position of each icon 121 even while driving. In addition, since the icon 121 is large and the application is activated regardless of which part is touched, even if the position of the portable device 1 is relatively far from the user (the positional relationship is such that the user reaches out and operates) Also, even if the user can not watch the screen while driving, the user can easily operate it. Since the blank area 120b is provided between the icon arrangement area 120a and the navigation bar 103, the concern that the user mistakenly operates the navigation bar 103 is reduced.

  As described above, in addition to the home screen display function of displaying the home screen 110 excellent in operability when the portable device 1 is held and operated by hand, the portable device 1 is fixed to the vehicle and operated, etc. By having the car launcher function of displaying the car launcher screen 120 excellent in operability when operated, the operation at both the time of carrying and when being fixed to the vehicle becomes easy.

  The application registration function is a function in which the control unit 31 assigns the application stored in the application storage unit 33 a to the icon 121 based on the user's operation.

  Specifically, when the setting button 103 f is operated, the control unit 31 displays a button displaying the character “setting” in the blank area 120 b, and when the button is operated, the control unit 31 displays the application An application addition / editing screen 130 shown in FIG. 7A is displayed on the display unit 101.

  In the application addition / editing screen 130, eight setting areas 131 corresponding to eight icons 121 are provided. Each setting area 131 has a number display portion 131a, a pattern display portion 131b, a voice mark 131c, a name display portion 131d, and a button display portion 131e.

  The control unit 31 displays the number display unit 131a, the pattern display unit 131b, the voice mark 131c, and the name display unit 131d only in the setting area 131 where the application corresponds to the already registered icon 121. The display contents of the number display portion 131a, the pattern display portion 131b and the name display portion 131d are the same as the number display portion 121a of the icon 121, the pattern display portion 121b and the name display portion 121d. The control unit 31 displays the pattern display unit 131 b, the voice mark 131 c, and the name display unit 131 d only in the setting area 131 corresponding to the icon 121 whose application has been registered. The edit button is displayed on the button display 131e of the setting area 131 corresponding to the icon 121 for which the application is already registered, and the registration button is displayed on the button display 131e of the setting area 131 corresponding to the unregistered icon 121. Do.

  When the registration button in the setting area 131 corresponding to the icon 121 whose application is not registered is touched by the user, the control unit 31 displays all the installed applications (except those already registered) on the application display unit 101. If one of them is touched by the user, the application is registered for the icon 121. For example, when an application named “high performance camera” is registered by the operation of the registration button of the setting area 131 whose icon number is 4th, the control unit 31 sets 4th as shown in FIG. 7B. Information corresponding to the application is displayed on the number display portion 131a, the pattern display portion 131b and the name display portion 131d of the setting area 131, and the voice mark 131c is displayed, and further, the edit button is displayed on the button display portion 131e.

  When the edit button in the setting area 131 corresponding to the application 121 having been registered is touched by the user, the control unit 31 displays a delete icon on the application display unit 101 and all installed applications (registered ones). When the application is touched and any application is touched by the user, the application registered for the icon 121 is changed. Also, when the delete icon is touched, the control unit 31 cancels the registration of the application for the icon 121. For example, when the delete icon is touched after the edit button of the fourth setting area 131 is touched, the application addition / editing screen 130 is in the state of FIG. 7A.

  After the application registration function registers or changes / cancels the application for the icon 121, the car launcher display function subsequently displays the car launcher screen 120 reflecting the registration or change / cancellation.

  The voice command registration function is a function for the control unit 31 to register a voice command for the icon 121 with which the application has been registered, in accordance with the user's operation. Specifically, when the voice mark 131c in the setting area 131 corresponding to any of the icons 121 for which the application has been registered is touched on the application addition / editing screen 130, the control unit 31 performs a voice command on the setting area 131. The selection field 140 is displayed.

  An example of the voice command selection field 140 is shown in FIG. The control unit 31 displays the character "none" and a plurality of voice commands (except for the registered ones) stored in the voice command storage unit 33c in a list format in the voice command selection field 140, When the voice command is touched, the control unit 31 registers the voice command in the corresponding icon 121.

  Further, the control unit 31 displays the registered voice command on the name display units 121 d and 131 d in which the voice command is registered. For example, when the voice command of "camera" is touched in the voice command selection column 140 of FIG. 8 after touching the voice mark 131c of the setting area 131 of the icon No. 4 of FIG. The characters “camera” are displayed on the corresponding name display portions 121 d and 131 d in the car launcher screen 120 and the application addition / editing screen 130. Thus, the name display portions 121 d and 131 d of the icon 121 in which the voice command is registered display only the registered voice command (for example, “camera”), and the name of the application (for example, “high performance camera”) Does not display. This allows the user to easily recognize the voice command to be pronounced to activate the icon.

  Note that the characters “none” in the voice command selection field 140 are displayed only when the voice mark 131 c in the setting area 131 corresponding to the icon 121 for which the voice command has been registered is touched. When “none” is touched, the voice command registration function cancels the registration of the voice command for the icon 121.

  The GPS function is a function by which the control unit 31 detects the current position by the GPS reception unit 34. The WiFi function and the Bluetooth function are functions in which the control unit 31 communicates with an external device via the communication unit 40.

  The car navigation function is a function realized by the control unit 31 executing “car navigation” which is an application, and displays the road map 113 on the application display unit 101 and additionally displays the current position detected by the GPS function. It is a function of displaying a mark 114 indicating a mark and a mark indicating a notification target (see FIG. 5B), and providing route guidance and alerting during driving by voice from the speaker 38.

  The hands-free function is a function realized by the control unit 31 executing “hands-free” which is an application, and by performing communication with a paired mobile phone or smartphone using the Bluetooth function, This function is to make a telephone call or the like via the portable device 1. That is, control unit 31 receives voice data during a call such as a mobile phone using the Bluetooth function and outputs it from speaker 38, and sends voice data input from microphone 37 to the mobile phone using the Bluetooth function. .

  The television viewing function is a function realized by the control unit 31 executing “TV”, which is an application, and displays a television broadcast image and sound on the basis of a broadcast wave such as one segment received by the television tuner 35. It outputs from 32 and the speaker 38.

  The voice recognition function is a function that the control unit 31 recognizes the speech of the user by analyzing the sound data from the microphone 37.

  In the voice command function, when the voice recognition function recognizes the voice command registered in the icon 121 while the car launcher screen 120 is displayed, the control unit 31 activates the application registered in the icon 121. Function. In the second voice command function, while the car launcher screen 120 is displayed, the user of the voice recognition function is uttered by the user with numbers on the number display portion 121a, such as "first", "niban", "sanban", etc. When the control unit recognizes the event, the control unit activates the application registered in the icon 121 of the corresponding icon number. By using the voice command function and the second voice command function, the control unit 31 activates the application registered in the icon 121 even when any voice command or numeral utterance registered in the icon 121 is recognized. For example, when the voice recognition function recognizes that the user has uttered "car navigation" or "most" while the car launcher screen 120 of FIG. 6 is displayed, the control unit 31 controls the icon 121 of the icon number 1. Launch the corresponding application.

  The user setting function is a function by which the control unit 31 sets the operating condition of the portable device 1 according to the operation of the user. User setting function can be set items, GPS function on / off, WiFi function on / off, Bluetooth function on / off, voice command function on / off, handsfree function on / off, no operation There is an audio volume and power saving operation for the standby time (hereinafter referred to as “sleep standby time”) until transition to the sleep state. The voice command function on / off, handsfree function on / off, sleep standby time, and audio volume can be set individually for each of two operation modes (tablet mode and car mode). The GPS function on / off, the WiFi function on / off, and the Bluetooth function on / off can only be set for the tablet mode. The operation conditions made by the user setting function are stored in the configuration storage unit 33 d.

  The feeding determination function is a function by which the control unit 31 determines the feeding state of the terminal 12 from the external power supply. Specifically, when power is supplied to the terminal 12 (the voltage of the VBus pin is 5 V), the controller 31 supplies power from the vehicle if the ID pin of the terminal 12 is shorted to GND. If it is open, it is determined that power is supplied from the AC adapter. When open, the control unit 31 further determines whether or not the + D and -D pins are shorted. When shorted, the control unit 31 normally AC when not shorted by the rapid charging AC adapter. It is determined that power is supplied by the adapter. Furthermore, based on the determination of the power supply state, the power supply determination function is a transition from a state in which power is supplied from the vehicle to a state in which power is not supplied from the vehicle. The second transition which is the transition of The control unit 31 performs the above-described power supply determination function every predetermined time (for example, one second) regardless of the operation state of the portable device 1 (power on / off, sleep, what application is running, etc.) Run.

  In the last application storage function, when the first transition is determined by the power supply determination function, the control unit 31 determines whether the forward application (the application using the application display unit 101 is selected when the first transition is determined). It is a function to perform the following processing depending on whether or not there is an application other than the first and second launcher applications. That is, when there is a forward application, the control unit 31 stores the activation path of the forward application in the last application storage unit 33b. (Hereafter, the application whose activation path is stored in the last application storage unit 33b may be referred to as "last application".) When there is no forward application (only the first or second launcher application is being executed in the foreground In the case of (1), the control unit 31 erases the activation path of the application stored in the last application storage unit 33b.

  The last application storage function executes the above process immediately after determining the first transition. This makes it possible to more reliably store and delete the start path. This is because when the first transition is determined, the battery 41 is considered to be charged with power sufficient to store the start path by power feeding from the vehicle immediately before the first transition.

  The first transition sleep function refers to a function in which the control unit 31 executes the following processing when the first transition is determined by the power supply determination function. Specifically, when there is the first transition, the control unit 31 cancels the message 151 of "automatic sleep will be on soon" superimposed on the screen 150 currently displayed on the application display unit 101 at that time. The button 152 is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) (see FIG. 9). If the cancel button 152 is not operated or the power supply to the terminal 12 is not resumed during that time, the control unit 31 shifts the portable device 1 to the sleep state. When the cancel button 152 is touched within a predetermined time, or when the power supply to the terminal 12 is resumed, the control unit 31 does not shift to the sleep state and erases the message 151 and the cancel button 152.

  The last application activation function is a function in which the control unit 31 executes the last application activation process S100 when the second transition is determined by the power supply determination function in the sleep state or the power-off state. FIG. 10 shows the last application activation process S100.

  As illustrated, in step S101, the control unit 31 reads an activation path of the last application storage unit 33b of the NVRAM, determines the presence or absence of the activation path in step S102, and stores the activation path in the last application storage unit 33b. If it has, then in step S103, the last application is activated according to the activation path. If no activation path is stored, the second launcher application is activated in step S104.

  By performing such processing, if there is a forward application being executed at the time of the previous first transition, the forward application is activated in the second transition of this time. Therefore, even if the user does not perform any operation, it is convenient to connect the terminal 12 to the cigar socket with a dedicated cable, and the same application as that of the previous drive can be used, which is convenient. Also, if there is no forward application running at the time of the previous first transition, simply by connecting the terminal 12 to the cigar socket with a dedicated cable, the car launcher screen 120 that can be easily operated even in the drive is displayed So convenient.

  Even if the second transition occurs in the power-on state of the portable device 1, the last application activation function does not activate the application of the activation path stored in the last application storage unit 33b. Therefore, by connecting the terminal 12 to the cigar socket from the dedicated cable, it is possible to prevent such a disadvantage that the application being used by the user is forcibly terminated.

  The tablet mode transition function is a function for setting the operating condition of the portable device 1 to the tablet mode by executing the tablet mode setting process S200 in the state transition process described later. FIG. 11 shows a tablet mode setting process S200. As illustrated, after executing the screen lock release of the display device 32 (step S201, step S202), the control unit 31 turns on / off the GPS function according to the setting for the tablet mode stored in the configuration storage unit 33d. Setting (step S203, step S204), WiFi function on / off setting (step S205, step S206), Bluetooth function on / off setting (step S207, step S208), setting sleep standby time (step S209, step S210) Audio volume setting (step S211, step S212), voice command function on / off setting (step S213, step S214), handsfree function on / off setting (step S215, step S2) 6) are sequentially executed.

  The car mode transfer function is a function for setting the operation condition of the portable device 1 to the car mode by executing the car mode setting process S300 in the state transfer process described later. FIG. 12 shows a car mode setting process S300. As illustrated, after the screen lock release (step S301, step S302) of the display device 32 is performed, the control unit 31 performs the GPS function (step S303, step S304), the WiFi function (step S305, step S306), Bluetooth The function (steps S307 and S308) is forcibly turned on, and sleep is not set (steps S309 and S310). Thereafter, according to the setting for the car mode stored in the configuration storage unit 33d, Audio volume setting (step S311, step S312), voice command function on / off setting (step S313, step S314), handsfree function on / off setting (step S315, step S316) are sequentially implemented. To.

  As described above, in the car mode, the GPS function, the WiFi function, and the Bluetooth function are forcibly turned on, and these can not be turned off by the operation of the user. This is because these functions are functions that are necessary for the operation of many applications that are expected to be used in vehicles, such as “car navigation” and other applications for driving assistance, and “hands free”. Prevents the user's inconvenience when these functions are turned off in the car mode intended for internal use, and the above application does not work properly when the user turns off these functions by mistake This is to prevent the user from being confused or dissatisfaction with the portable device 1 or the like. In addition, since the power supply is secured by the power supply from the vehicle, it is not necessary to consider the consumption of the battery by turning on these functions. In addition, the reason for setting so as not to sleep is that it is considered inappropriate to shift to sleep while using a "car navigation system" or the like.

  The state transition function is a function of performing transition between the power on / off state of the portable device 1 and the sleep state by performing the state transition process shown in FIGS. 13 to 18.

  FIG. 13 shows a part related to the transition from the power-off state of the portable device 1 to the power-on in the state transition process.

  As illustrated, when the power button 6 is operated for 2 seconds or more (hereinafter, "long press") from the standby state of power off (step S401), the control unit 31 determines the power feeding function in steps S402 to S404. To determine the power supply status. Specifically, in step S402, it is determined whether or not power is supplied to the terminal 12. If power is supplied, it is determined in step S403 whether power is supplied from the vehicle. If negative (N), the AC adapter is selected in step S404. The type is determined, and in steps S405 and S406, charging at a speed according to the type of AC adapter is started. In the case of the normal AC adapter, the level of the battery 41 is determined in step S407. If it is determined in step S402 that there is no power supply, the level of the battery 41 is determined in step S408. Then, if it is the AC adapter for quick charging in step S404 and if the battery level is high in step S407 and step S408, the portable device 1 is turned on in step S409 and the OS is started. The tablet mode setting process S200 is performed, and thereafter, the portable device 1 is operated in the tablet mode. If there is no power supply in step S402, the level of the battery 41 is determined, and if it is a low battery, it returns to the standby state.

  If power supply to the terminal 12 is detected in the power off standby state (step S411), it is determined in step S412 whether or not power is supplied from the vehicle. If negative (N), the AC adapter is selected in step S413. In step S415 and step S416, charging at a speed according to the type of AC adapter is started, and then in step S418, the charging state is displayed, and the power-off standby state is continued. Also in the case where the battery level is low in step S407, the charging state is displayed in step S418, and the power-off standby state is continued.

  If the determination in step S403 or step S412 is affirmative (Y), charging is started in step S414, and then the portable device 1 is turned on in step S417 to start the OS, and then the car mode setting is performed. After the process S300 is performed, the last application activation process S100 is performed, and thereafter, the portable device 1 is operated in the car mode.

  FIG. 14 shows a part related to the transition from the sleep state to the tablet mode or the car mode in the state transition process.

  When the power button 6 is operated when the portable device 1 is in the sleep state (step S501), the control unit 31 determines the presence or absence of the power supply to the terminal 12 in step S502. Then, if the determination in step S502 is affirmative (Y), and if power feeding to terminal 12 is detected in the sleep state (step S503), control unit 31 determines whether power is fed from the vehicle in step S504. If not (N), the type of AC adapter is determined in step S505.

  Then, if it is determined in step S502 that there is no power feeding, and if it is determined in step S504 that the power is not fed from the vehicle, the control unit 31 cancels sleep in steps S509 to S511, and then releases the tablet. The mode setting process S200 is executed to start the operation in the tablet mode. If it is determined in step S502 that there is no power supply, charging is started at a speed according to the type of AC adapter in steps S506 and S507.

  If the determination in step S504 is affirmative (Y), the control unit 31 starts charging in step S508, then cancels sleep in step S512, and then executes the car mode setting process S300 to start the last application. After the process S100 is performed, the portable device 1 is operated in the car mode.

  FIG. 15 shows the transition to the tablet mode or the car mode when the power supply to the terminal 12 is detected when the power of the portable device 1 is on in the state where there is no power supply to the terminal 12 in the state transition processing. Indicates the relevant part.

  If the control unit 31 detects the start of power supply to the terminal 12 in step S601, it determines in step S602 whether power is supplied from the vehicle or not (N), determines the type of AC adapter in step S603. In steps S604 and S605, charging at a speed according to the type of AC adapter is started, tablet mode setting processing S200 is executed, and thereafter, the portable device 1 is operated in the tablet mode. If the determination in step S602 is affirmative (Y), the control unit 31 executes the car mode setting process S300 after starting charging in step S606, and operates the portable device 1 in the car mode thereafter.

  As described above, when the portable device 1 is powered on, even if the first transition (step S602: Y) occurs, the last application activation process S100 is not executed. If the power is on, the user may be using another application, but by not performing the last application activation process S100, such an application in use violates the user's intention. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience such as the end of the

  FIG. 16 shows a part related to the transition from the car mode to the sleep state in the state transition process.

  When the power button 6 is operated for less than 2 seconds (hereinafter, "short time operation") while the portable device 1 is operating in the car mode (step S701), whether power is supplied to the terminal 12 in step S702 To judge. Then, if this is affirmative (Y), it is judged at step S703 whether power is supplied from the vehicle, and if this is negative (N), the type of AC adapter is judged at step S704, and charging according to the type is performed. Are started (steps S706 and S707). If the determination in step S702 is negative (N), charging is not performed (step S705).

  When the portable device 1 is operating in the car mode, when the state in which power is supplied to the terminal 12 changes to a state in which power is not supplied (step S711), the control unit 31 ends charging in step S712 and waits in step S713. Is set to 5 seconds, the message 151 and the cancel button 152 are displayed on the application display unit 101 in step S714, and it is determined in step S715 whether or not power is supplied to the terminal 12. If this is negative (N), the step In step S716, it is determined whether the cancel button 152 has been touched, and if this is negative (N), the standby time is counted down in step S717, and it is determined whether the standby time has timed out in step S720. In the case of), the process proceeds to step S715.

  If the determination in step S715 is affirmative (Y), the message 151 and the cancel button 152 are erased in step S719, and the operation in the car mode (FIG. 16) is continued. If the determination in step S716 is affirmative (Y), the message 151 and the cancel button 152 are erased in step S718, and then the car mode operation is continued with the power of the battery 41.

  If the determination in step S720 is affirmative (Y), it is determined in step S721 whether or not there is a forward application, and if there is (Y), the activation path of the forward application is stored in the last application storage unit 33b in step S722. If not (N), the activation path of the last application storage unit 33b is erased in step S723.

  After steps S705, S706, S707, S722, and S723, the power saving setting is read out from the configuration storage unit 33d in step S731, and it is determined in step S732 whether the power saving mode is on. If the determination is affirmative (Y), the GPS function, the WiFi function, and the Bluetooth function are turned off in steps S732 to S735, and the audio output is muted in step S736, and the portable device 1 is selected in step S737. Move to sleep state. If the determination in step S732 is negative (N), step S733 to step S736 are skipped and step S737 is executed. The purpose of muting the audio output in step S 736 is to shift to the sleep state (step S 737), and it is considered that it appears to the user that the portable device 1 is turned off. If it is continued, the user may feel anxious or unnatural, so this is prevented.

  FIG. 17 shows the process in the case where the short-time operation of the power button 6 or the power supply at the terminal 12 is cut off during the operation in the tablet mode in the state transition process.

  FIG. 18 shows a process when there is a long press on the power button 6 during the operation in the car mode or the tablet mode in the state transition process.

  If the power button 6 has been pressed for a long time (step S 901) or if the power-off button 6 is selected on the menu screen displayed when the power button 6 is pressed for a long time, In step S902, the control unit 31 determines whether there is power feeding to the terminal 12, and in the case of negative (N), ends the charging in step S905. If the determination in step S902 is affirmative (Y), the type of external power supply is determined in steps S903 and S904, and in steps S906 and S907, charging at a speed according to the type of external power supply is started. After the step S905 to the step S907, the portable device 1 is shut down (power off) in a step S908, and then it stands by.

  The state notification function is a function that the control unit 31 performs display for notifying of the operation state of the portable device 1. Specifically, when the portable device 1 is operating in the car mode, and when the voice command function is on, a notification notifying that the car command is operating and the voice command function is on Icons are displayed in the left area 102b of the status bar 102, and those are displayed in the notification panel 102e.

  The preferred embodiment has been described above, but the shape, dimensions, material, function, operation mode, control mode, control mode, etc. of the device, system and program or elements thereof in the above embodiment are examples. Are described as, and they can be modified.

  For example, although the above embodiment shows the case where the activation path of the last application storage unit 33b is stored, it is not the activation path but other information indicating the application being executed when the first transition occurred. It may be stored, and the last application activation function may activate the application indicated by the information.

  In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the activation path of the last application storage unit 33b is erased when there is no forward application when there is a first transition, but, for example, when there is a first transition, the second If the launcher application is being executed, the launch path of the second launcher application may be stored. Also, if the first launcher application is being executed when there is the first transition, information indicating that is stored, and if the information is stored, the last application activation function May launch the second launcher application when there is a second transition.

  In the above embodiment, the last application storage function is an application stored in the last application storage unit 33b only when only the first or second launcher application is being executed in the foreground when the first transition is determined. However, for example, even when the program for setting the operation of the portable device 1 is being executed in the foreground when the first transition is determined, the last application storage unit The application activation path stored in 33b may be erased.

  In the above embodiment, the last application activation process S100 is not executed even if the second transition (step S602: Y) occurs when the portable device 1 is powered on. Even when the second transition (step S602: Y) occurs in the ON state, the last application activation process S100 may be executed. By doing this, the program can be simplified, and a bug is generated. Can reduce the occurrence of In addition, since the last application activation process S100 is executed in response to a series of operations of mounting on a car and turning on the engine, the user does not feel much discomfort.
