Abstract

[Problem] To provide an onboard navigation device that, even when powered off, is capable of controlling a smartphone. [Solution] An onboard navigation device (100) is powered on and off when the vehicle engine is started and stopped; therefore, when the vehicle engine is stopped, the onboard navigation device (100) is powered off. However, only a first BT-LE unit (10) is powered by a vehicle battery; therefore, by performing wireless communication with a second BT-LE unit in a smartphone, the smartphone is controlled from the onboard navigation device (100), and the second BT unit of the smartphone or a second wireless LAN unit can be switched off.

Description

車載ナビゲーション装置Car navigation system
 本発明は、車載ナビゲーション装置に関し、特に、近距離無線通信システムの通信端末が複数搭載される車載ナビゲーション装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an in-vehicle navigation device, and more particularly to an in-vehicle navigation device in which a plurality of communication terminals of a short-range wireless communication system are mounted.
 近年、車載ナビゲーション装置と、スマートフォン等をBT(BLUETOOTH(登録商標))または無線LAN等の近距離無線通信手段によって接続し、車両の運転者が運転中でもハンズフリーで通話可能となるHFP(HANDS FREE PROFILE)機能を有したシステムが車両に搭載されるようになってきた。 In recent years, an in-vehicle navigation device and a smartphone or the like are connected by a short-range wireless communication means such as BT (BLUETOOTH (registered trademark)) or a wireless LAN, and the vehicle driver can perform a hands-free call even while driving. A system having a (PROFILE) function has been mounted on a vehicle.
 スマートフォン等の携帯型の情報端末において、近距離無線通信を行う際の電力は内蔵する電池から供給されるが、このような場合には近距離無線通信の低消費電力化を図って、電池の電池残量を伸ばすことが重要である。特に、アクセスポイントを経由せずに無線通信を行う情報端末同士を無線LAN接続する場合(アドホックモード)には、無線通信可能な情報端末の存在を認識するためのビーコン信号の送信が必要となるため、その分は消費電力が大きくなる。このため、無線通信を行わないときには、無線通信機能をほぼ停止するスリープ動作にすることが必要である。 In portable information terminals such as smartphones, power for short-range wireless communication is supplied from a built-in battery. In such a case, the power consumption of the short-range wireless communication is reduced. It is important to increase the battery level. In particular, when information terminals performing wireless communication without going through an access point are connected by wireless LAN (ad hoc mode), it is necessary to transmit a beacon signal for recognizing the existence of information terminals capable of wireless communication. Therefore, the power consumption increases accordingly. For this reason, when wireless communication is not performed, it is necessary to set a sleep operation that substantially stops the wireless communication function.
 従来の車載ナビゲーション装置としては、下記の特許文献1に記載の車載ナビゲーション装置(情報端末装置)が知られている。 As a conventional in-vehicle navigation device, an in-vehicle navigation device (information terminal device) described in Patent Document 1 below is known.
 以下、図6を用いて、特許文献1に記載の情報端末装置について説明する。図6は、無線によるデータ通信を行う情報端末装置間の機能を説明するブロック図である。 Hereinafter, the information terminal device described in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating functions between information terminal apparatuses that perform wireless data communication.
 情報端末装置900は、低消費電力で無線通信が可能な第1無線通信部920と、無線LANによるデータ通信を行う第2無線通信部910と、を備えている。同様に、情報端末装置950は、低消費電力で無線通信が可能な第1無線通信部970と、無線LANによるデータ通信を行う第2無線通信部960と、を備えている。 The information terminal device 900 includes a first wireless communication unit 920 capable of wireless communication with low power consumption, and a second wireless communication unit 910 that performs data communication using a wireless LAN. Similarly, the information terminal device 950 includes a first wireless communication unit 970 that can perform wireless communication with low power consumption, and a second wireless communication unit 960 that performs data communication using a wireless LAN.
 また、情報端末装置900と情報端末装置950との間で、データ通信を行うアドホックモードでは、原則的に第2無線通信部910または第2無線通信部960をスリープ動作状態にする。但し、実際のデータ通信が必要なときには第1無線通信部920を用いて通信相手の情報端末装置950に起動信号を送信し、第2無線通信部960を起動させる。 Further, in the ad hoc mode in which data communication is performed between the information terminal device 900 and the information terminal device 950, the second wireless communication unit 910 or the second wireless communication unit 960 is basically put into a sleep operation state. However, when actual data communication is necessary, the first wireless communication unit 920 is used to transmit an activation signal to the communication partner information terminal device 950 to activate the second wireless communication unit 960.
 そして、データ通信が完了すると第1無線通信部970を用いて、相手側の情報端末装置900に停止信号を送信し、第2無線通信部910を休止させる。以上により、第2無線通信部910と第2無線通信部960とによるビーコン信号の送信を抑制して、適切な省電力化が図れる。 Then, when the data communication is completed, the first wireless communication unit 970 is used to transmit a stop signal to the counterpart information terminal device 900, and the second wireless communication unit 910 is suspended. As described above, transmission of a beacon signal by the second wireless communication unit 910 and the second wireless communication unit 960 can be suppressed, and appropriate power saving can be achieved.

 以上説明したように、BCM300は車両への運転者の乗車を検知すると、CAN200と、図示しないインターフェイスと、を介して車載ナビゲーション装置100の第1BT-LE部10を制御して、スマートフォン600の第2BT-LE部80との接続を確立する。よって、BCM300は車両エンジンが始動する前に第2BT部70をオンにさせる制御を行うことができる。従って、車両の運転者は車両エンジンを始動したときには、すぐにBT通信を使用してHFP機能を動作させることが可能となり、車両走行中の安全性を向上することができる。 As described above, when the BCM 300 detects the ride of the driver on the vehicle, the BCM 300 controls the first BT-LE unit 10 of the in-vehicle navigation device 100 via the CAN 200 and the interface (not shown) to A connection with the 2BT-LE unit 80 is established. Therefore, the BCM 300 can perform control to turn on the second BT unit 70 before the vehicle engine is started. Therefore, when the vehicle driver starts the vehicle engine, it is possible to immediately operate the HFP function using the BT communication, and the safety during traveling of the vehicle can be improved.
 次に、車両からの運転者の降車時における車載ナビゲーション装置100の動作について、図4を用いて、HFP機能が停止する場合を説明する。図4は第1実施形態に係る車載ナビゲーション装置100の動作を示すフローチャートで、手順S3-mは車載ナビゲーション装置100の処理を示し、手順S4-nはスマートフォン600の処理を示している。 Next, the operation of the in-vehicle navigation device 100 when the driver gets out of the vehicle will be described with reference to FIG. 4 when the HFP function is stopped. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the in-vehicle navigation device 100 according to the first embodiment. The procedure S3-m shows the processing of the in-vehicle navigation device 100, and the procedure S4-n shows the processing of the smartphone 600.
 手順S3-1で、車両エンジンは動作中なので、車載ナビゲーション装置100の電源はオンになっている。また、BCM300は、図示しないインターフェイスを介して車載ナビゲーション装置100に内蔵している第1マイコン20と接続されて、HFP機能の動作をしている。 In step S3-1, since the vehicle engine is operating, the power of the in-vehicle navigation device 100 is turned on. In addition, the BCM 300 is connected to the first microcomputer 20 built in the vehicle-mounted navigation device 100 via an interface (not shown) and operates as an HFP function.
 手順S3-2で、第1マイコン20は、第1BT部40を制御してスマートフォン600との間でHFP機能の動作をしている。 In step S3-2, the first microcomputer 20 controls the first BT unit 40 to operate the HFP function with the smartphone 600.
 手順S4-1で、スマートフォン600に内蔵している第2マイコン85は、第2BT部70と、携帯電話部50と、を制御して車載ナビゲーション装置100との間でHFP機能の動作をしている。 In step S4-1, the second microcomputer 85 built in the smartphone 600 controls the second BT unit 70 and the mobile phone unit 50 to operate the HFP function with the in-vehicle navigation device 100. Yes.
 手順S3-3で、車両の運転者は車両エンジンを停止する。次に、車載ナビゲーション装置100の電源はオンからオフに移行するので、第1マイコン20と第1BT部40の動作はオフになる。よって、スマートフォン600を車載ナビゲーション装置100から制御できなくなり、スマートフォン600の第2BT部70を自動的にオフ状態に移行させる制御信号を送信することができない状態となる。また、BCM300は、第1マイコン20との接続は切断されて、CAN200と、図示しないインターフェイスと、を介して第1BT-LE部10との接続に切り替える。 In step S3-3, the vehicle driver stops the vehicle engine. Next, since the power supply of the vehicle-mounted navigation device 100 shifts from on to off, the operations of the first microcomputer 20 and the first BT unit 40 are turned off. Therefore, the smart phone 600 cannot be controlled from the in-vehicle navigation device 100, and the control signal for automatically shifting the second BT unit 70 of the smart phone 600 to the off state cannot be transmitted. Further, the BCM 300 is disconnected from the first microcomputer 20 and switched to the connection with the first BT-LE unit 10 via the CAN 200 and an interface (not shown).
 手順S3-4で、BCM300は、CAN200と、図示しないインターフェイスと、を介して、第1BT-LE部10を制御してHFP機能を停止する要求をスマートフォン600に内蔵されている第2BT-LE部80に対して送信する。また、BCM300は、車両内に設置されている図示しないマイクおよびスピーカー等に対して、HFP機能の動作を停止する制御を行う。 In step S3-4, the BCM 300 controls the first BT-LE unit 10 via the CAN 200 and an interface (not shown) to request the second BT-LE unit built in the smartphone 600 to stop the HFP function. To 80. In addition, the BCM 300 performs control to stop the operation of the HFP function for a microphone and a speaker (not shown) installed in the vehicle.
 手順S4-2で、第2BT-LE部80は、第1BT-LE部10からのHFP機能を停止する要求を受信して、スマートフォン600に内蔵されている第2マイコン85に送る。次に、第2マイコン85は、携帯電話部50と第2BT部70にHFP機能を停止する制御を行う。次に、第2マイコン85は、第2BT部70をオフ状態に移行する制御を行う。 In step S4-2, the second BT-LE unit 80 receives the request to stop the HFP function from the first BT-LE unit 10 and sends the request to the second microcomputer 85 built in the smartphone 600. Next, the second microcomputer 85 controls the mobile phone unit 50 and the second BT unit 70 to stop the HFP function. Next, the second microcomputer 85 performs control to shift the second BT unit 70 to the off state.
 手順S3-5で、スマートフォン600を携帯した車両の運転者が車両から降車する。次に、車両運転席側のシートセンサー等は車両の運転者が車両から降車したことを検知して、図示しないインターフェイスを介してBCM300に検知信号を送る。BCM300はCAN200と、図示しないインターフェイスと、を介して第1BT-LE部10を制御し、一定の時間間隔で第2BT-LE部80に対して接続要求を行うことを再開する。 In step S3-5, the driver of the vehicle carrying the smartphone 600 gets off the vehicle. Next, a seat sensor or the like on the vehicle driver's seat side detects that the vehicle driver has got off the vehicle, and sends a detection signal to the BCM 300 via an interface (not shown). The BCM 300 controls the first BT-LE unit 10 via the CAN 200 and an interface (not shown), and resumes making a connection request to the second BT-LE unit 80 at regular time intervals.
 以上説明したように、車両の運転者が車両エンジンを停止すると、車載ナビゲーション装置100の電源はオフにされる。しかし、第1BT-LE部10は常時起動しているので、スマートフォン600側の第2BT-LE部80と近距離無線通信を行うことで、車載ナビゲーション装置100からスマートフォン600を制御して第2BT部70をオフにすることができる。 As described above, when the driver of the vehicle stops the vehicle engine, the power of the in-vehicle navigation device 100 is turned off. However, since the first BT-LE unit 10 is always activated, the second BT unit is controlled by controlling the smartphone 600 from the in-vehicle navigation device 100 by performing short-range wireless communication with the second BT-LE unit 80 on the smartphone 600 side. 70 can be turned off.
 よって、スマートフォン600の消費電力を低減することができ、電池95の電池残量を伸ばすことができる。 Therefore, the power consumption of the smartphone 600 can be reduced, and the remaining battery level of the battery 95 can be increased.
