The traveling information acquisition unit 372 receives the vehicle speed detection result by the vehicle speed sensor 490 via the SIF 390. Then, the travel information acquisition unit 372 converts the vehicle speed detection result into speed information that is a signal in a form that can be handled by the incoming call notification control unit 373. Then, similarly to the above-described travel information acquisition unit 272 of the first embodiment, the travel information acquisition unit 372 determines whether the travel state of the vehicle CR is “stop”, “normal travel”, or “congestion” based on the history of speed information. The traveling state of “traveling” is determined.

The travel information acquisition unit 372 receives the position detection result sent from the position detection unit 310. Then, the travel information acquisition unit 372 refers to the map information MPI in the map information storage unit 320 based on the position detection result, and determines the type of road on which the vehicle CR is traveling when traveling. When the vehicle CR is stopped, the current position is determined to determine whether the stop position is the user's home.

Subsequently, the travel information acquisition unit 372 sends the speed information, the travel state information, and the current position information to the incoming call notification control unit 373 as travel information.

The incoming call notification control unit 373 controls the operation of the incoming call processing device 370. Similar to the incoming call notification control unit 273 of the first embodiment described above, the incoming call notification control unit 373 determines the notification mode and arrangement position of the multiple notification units arranged in the vehicle CR and the traveling state of the vehicle CR. Based on this, the “notice level” of the user of the incoming call notification and the “risk level” of the driving operation when the information related to the incoming call is notified from each of the plurality of notification units are evaluated. Then, the incoming call notification control unit 373 creates a selection table 374 for selecting a usage notification unit based on the evaluated “degree of awareness” and “risk level” and the “emergency level” of the incoming call notification.

Further, when there is an incoming call to the mobile phone device 200B, the incoming call notification control unit 373 receives the incoming call report information including the caller's telephone number sent from the mobile phone device 200B via the TIF 380. Then, when receiving the incoming call report information, the incoming call notification control unit 373 collects the travel information acquired by the travel information acquisition unit 372 in the same manner as the incoming call notification control unit 273 of the first embodiment described above. Further, when receiving the incoming call report, the incoming call notification control unit 373 reads the attribute information given to the telephone number held in the holding unit 371 based on the telephone number included in the incoming call report.

Subsequently, similarly to the incoming call notification control unit 273 of the first embodiment described above, the incoming call notification control unit 373 refers to the selection table 374 described above on the basis of the attribute information and the collected travel information. Out of the incoming call guidance speaker 241, “display unit 242”, “vibration unit 243”, “sound output unit 330”, “display unit 340”, “head-up display display unit 410”, “sheet vibration unit 420” Then, at least one usage notification unit that notifies the driver of an incoming call is selected. Then, the incoming call notification control unit 373 transmits a notification command including information related to the incoming call to the selected usage notification unit.

The selection table 374 is created by the incoming call notification control unit 373 and stores the same contents as the selection table 274 of the first embodiment described above. This selection table 374 can be accessed by the incoming call notification control unit 373.

The input unit 345B is configured by a key unit provided in the main body of the navigation device 300B or a remote input device including the key unit. When the user operates the input unit 345B, attributes relating to each of the communication partners registered in the telephone number registration unit 230 of the mobile phone device 200B can be set in the holding unit 371. Except for this point, the input unit 345B is configured similarly to the input unit 345A of the first embodiment described above.

<Operation>
The operation of the incoming call notification device 100B configured as described above will be described mainly focusing on the incoming call related information notification processing by the incoming call processing device 370 of the “navigation device 300B”.

In the incoming call notification device 100B, the travel information acquisition unit 372 of the navigation device 300B receives the vehicle speed detection result from the vehicle speed sensor 490 via the SIF 390 and converts it into speed information. The travel information acquisition unit 372 determines the travel state of the vehicle CR based on the history of speed information.

The travel information acquisition unit 372 receives the position detection result sent from the position detection unit 310. Then, it is assumed that the travel information acquisition unit 372 performs the above-described current position determination with reference to the map information MPI in the map information storage unit 320 based on the position detection result (see FIG. 10).

The notification processing of the incoming call related information by the incoming call notification device 100B is received by the mobile phone device 200B. It starts by sending it to the control unit 373.

In the second embodiment, when the incoming call related information is notified, the incoming call notification control unit 373 executes the same processing as steps S11 to S15 of FIG. 7 in the first embodiment. In the following, the processing of the steps corresponding to each of steps S11 to S15 in FIG. 7 will be described using the corresponding step numbers in FIG.

Upon receipt of the incoming report, the incoming call notification control unit 373 first accesses the holding unit 371 in step S11, and based on the telephone number included in the incoming report, the urgency level is attribute information given to the telephone number. Read. Next, in step S12, the incoming call notification control unit 373 collects the travel information acquired by the travel information acquisition unit 372.

Next, in step S13, the incoming call notification control unit 373 selects a usage notification unit that performs incoming call notification. When selecting such a usage notification unit, the incoming notification control unit 373 corresponds to a combination of the collected travel information and the read urgency level, similar to the incoming notification control unit 273 of the mobile phone device 200A in the first embodiment. The notification unit is read from the selection table 374 (see FIG. 5). Then, the incoming call notification control unit 373 selects the read notification unit as the usage notification unit.

Subsequently, in step S14, the incoming call notification control unit 373 determines whether or not the usage notification unit is selected in step S13. If the result of this determination is negative (step S14: N), the incoming call related information notification process for the current incoming call is terminated without performing the incoming call notification to the driver of the vehicle CR.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S14 is affirmative (step S14: Y), the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, the incoming call notification control unit 373 generates a notification command to be transmitted to the selected usage notification unit. Then, the incoming call notification control unit 373 transmits the generated notification command to the usage notification unit.

When generating and transmitting the notification command, the notification unit (“A: display unit 242”, “B: incoming call guidance speaker 241”, “C: vibration unit 243”) included in the mobile phone device 200B is selected as the usage notification unit. When received, the incoming call notification control unit 373 generates a notification command corresponding to the selected usage notification unit, and transmits the notification command to the mobile phone device 200B via the TIF 380.

Further, a notification unit (“D: display unit 340”, “E: sound output unit 330”) included in the navigation device 300B, a notification unit (“F: head-up display display unit 410”, “ When G: seat vibration unit 420 ") is selected as the usage notification unit, incoming notification control unit 373 generates a notification command corresponding to the selected usage notification unit, and transmits the notification command to the selected notification unit.

As a result, information on the incoming call is notified to the driver of the vehicle CR from the selected usage notification unit.

Every time there is an incoming call to the mobile phone device 200B, the processes of the above steps S11 to S15 are performed, and the incoming call related information is notified.

As described above, in the second embodiment, when the mobile phone device 200B receives an incoming call, the mobile phone device 200B sends an incoming call report including the caller's telephone number at the time of the incoming call via the NIF 290 to the navigation device. It is sent to the incoming call processing device 370 of 300B. In the incoming call processing device 370 that has received the incoming report, the incoming call notification control unit 373 collects the travel information acquired by the travel information acquisition unit 372, accesses the holding unit 371, and based on the telephone number included in the incoming report. Then, the urgency level which is attribute information given to the telephone number is read.

Subsequently, the incoming call notification control unit 373 reads the notification unit corresponding to the combination of the collected traveling information and the read urgency level from the selection table 374 in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above. The notified notification unit is selected as a usage notification unit.

When the usage notification unit that performs the incoming notification to the driver of the vehicle CR is thus selected, the incoming notification control unit 373 transmits a notification command including information related to the incoming call to the selected usage notification unit. . Upon receiving the notification command, the selected usage notification unit notifies the driver of the vehicle CR of information related to the incoming call.

For this reason, when there is an incoming call to the mobile phone device 200B during the boarding of the vehicle CR, it is possible to perform an incoming call notification corresponding to the traveling state of the vehicle CR and the urgency level of the incoming call, thereby further improving the safety of the vehicle operation. Can be increased.

Therefore, according to the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment described above, information related to the incoming call to the mobile phone device can be appropriately notified to the driver of the vehicle.
