The authentication processing unit 284 reads the mobile phone ID of the mobile phone 12 stored in the EEPROM 266 and supplies it to the read control unit 282. The read control unit 282 is a response to the read command and generates a read response command including the mobile phone 12 mobile ID. The read control unit 282 transmits the generated read response command to the near field communication control device 31 via the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 263, the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 262, and the antenna 261.

  In step S35, the authentication processing unit 284 determines whether the vehicle is a registered vehicle. If there is no vehicle ID stored in advance in EEPROM 266 that matches the vehicle ID acquired in step S34, authentication processing unit 284 is not a vehicle in which the proximity communication control device 31 is provided. And the process returns to step S31. That is, transmission / reception of information with the near field communication control device 31 is not performed thereafter. Thereafter, the processing after step S31 described above is executed.

  On the other hand, in step S35, if there is a vehicle ID that matches the vehicle ID acquired in step S34 among the vehicle IDs stored in advance in the EEPROM 266, the authentication processing unit 144 is provided with the proximity communication control device 31. Is registered, and the process proceeds to step S36.

The read control unit 282 reads information requested by the read command from the EEPROM 266 and generates a read response command including the read information. The read control unit 282 transmits the generated read response command to the near field communication control device 31 via the communication control unit 281, the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 263, the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 262, and the antenna 261.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S36 that information transmission is not requested, the process of step S37 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S38.

  In step S38, the communication control unit 281 determines whether information has been transmitted. When the communication control unit 281 receives the write command transmitted from the near field communication control device 31 in step S10 or S12 of FIG. 12 described above via the antenna 261, the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 262, and the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 263. , It is determined that information has been transmitted, and the process proceeds to step S39.

  In step S40, the cellular phone 12 performs processing corresponding to the received information. Specifically, for example, when the write control unit 283 acquires a write command in step S39, the write control unit 283 stores information included in the write command in the EEPROM 266 based on the write command. For example, when the operation control unit 232 acquires a write command in step S39, the operation control unit 232 controls the processing of the mobile phone 12 based on information included in the write command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S38 that no information has been transmitted, the processes in steps S39 and S40 are skipped, and the process proceeds to step S41.

  In step S41, the communication control unit 281 determines whether to end communication. If it is determined not to end communication, the process returns to step S36, and steps S36 to S41 are repeatedly executed until it is determined in step S41 that communication is to be ended.

  Here, a specific example of a method for improving convenience of a user who uses a vehicle in which the in-vehicle system 11 is provided by using the processing of the communication system 1 described with reference to FIGS. explain.

  For example, an application program capable of generating and changing setting information for performing various settings of the vehicle while viewing the display unit 208 is installed in the mobile phone 12, and the setting generated or changed using the application program Information is stored in the mobile phone 12. When the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads the setting information from the mobile phone 12, and based on the setting information, various types of vehicles (in-vehicle devices 32) are read out. Set up.

  For example, when various switch settings of the vehicle are set by this method, the switch settings can be changed without direct operation. As a result, for example, a switch that is less frequently used can be provided in an invisible place, so that erroneous operations are reduced and the degree of freedom in designing the vehicle is improved.

  For example, the design of the instrument displayed on the instrument panel (instrument panel) of a car can be set by this method.

  For example, setting information may be generated or changed using an external device such as a personal computer in which a dedicated application program is installed, and the setting information may be input and stored in the mobile phone 12.

  Further, for example, a vehicle operation schedule set in advance on the mobile phone 12 using a predetermined application program or the like is stored. When the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads information on the operation schedule from the mobile phone 12 and transfers the read information to the navigation device that is the terminal device 32. . The navigation device quickly sets an operation route based on the acquired information and starts operation guidance. This makes it possible to register an operation schedule while planning a trip at home or the like, and to save the trouble of setting a navigation device at the time of departure.

  Furthermore, for example, sightseeing information, location information, store information, etc. acquired through a mail, a website, etc., or acquired from a reader / writer 13 installed in various stores, facilities, etc. are stored in the mobile phone 12. When the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads out the information from the mobile phone 12 and transfers the read information to the navigation device that is the terminal device 32. The navigation device quickly sets an operation route based on the acquired information and starts operation guidance. Thereby, while being able to set a desired operation route easily, the effort which sets a navigation apparatus can be abbreviate | omitted.

  Further, for example, when the user puts the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads the mail received by the mobile phone 12, and reads the read mail as a navigation device or an audio that is the in-vehicle device 32. Transfer to device. The navigation device or the audio device notifies the content of the mail by voice. Thereby, the content of the mail can be confirmed even while driving. When a plurality of people are on board, the contents of the mail may be notified by bioconducting means such as bone conduction so that the contents of the mail are not known to other people.

  Further, for example, program information in which a list of desired programs is set is stored in the mobile phone 12 based on a TV program guide, a radio program guide, or the like displayed on the display unit 208. When the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads out the program information from the mobile phone 12, and the read program information is the television device or audio device that is the in-vehicle device 32. Forward to. The television apparatus or the audio apparatus sequentially receives a program set in the program information and displays or outputs it. Thereby, the trouble of operating the television device or the audio device in order to watch or listen to a desired program can be omitted, and for example, the user can concentrate on driving.

  Further, for example, when the user puts the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads an image captured by the camera 210 or stored in the mobile phone 12 and reads the read image. It transfers to the navigation apparatus or television apparatus which is the vehicle equipment 32. The navigation device or the television device displays the acquired image. The proximity communication control device 31 can also read a predetermined mail address from the mobile phone 12 and transfer the image to the read mail address via the communication device 33. Note that, for example, an image of biometric information such as a face or fingerprint, an image indicating a feature amount of biometric information, an authentication image registered in advance in the mobile phone 12 is read from the mobile phone 12, and a driver is used using the read image. It is also possible to perform authentication.

  Further, for example, when the communication device 33 performs communication by a method such as wireless LAN (Local Area Network) or Bluetooth (trademark) that requires setting of ID or the like for communication, the ID or the like is given to the mobile phone 12. This information is stored. When the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads information such as an ID stored in advance in the mobile phone 12, and based on the read information, the communication device 33 is set. As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of performing an input operation such as an ID at the start of communication.

  In addition, for example, the maintenance record information of the vehicle is stored in the mobile phone 12 using the reader / writer 13 installed in a store or a maintenance service store. When the user puts the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 reads the maintenance record information from the mobile phone 12 and stores it in the storage unit 113 or the like, for example. Thereafter, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, when a predetermined period has elapsed since the previous vehicle maintenance, the near field communication control device 31 controls the in-vehicle device 32 to display a message prompting the maintenance with an image or sound. The user is notified by, for example. Thereby, the user can know necessary information at a necessary time. Conversely, when the user puts the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 transmits the maintenance record information to the mobile phone 12 and uses the mobile phone 12 to maintain the vehicle. You may be able to view the records.

  Furthermore, for example, when the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the setting of the mobile phone 12 can be changed according to the state of the vehicle. For example, when the user puts the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31 while the vehicle engine is operating, the proximity communication control device 31 transmits information instructing the mobile phone 12 to set to the driving mode. Then, the mobile phone 12 can be set to the driving mode. Note that it may be possible to set in the mobile phone 12 whether or not the change of the setting is permitted.

  In addition, for example, when the user puts the mobile phone 12 on the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 provides the mobile phone 12 with information indicating the state of the vehicle, such as travel distance, fuel consumption information, and the number of passengers. You may make it memorize | store. As a method of using such information, for example, it is conceivable that a store, a facility, or the like provides various services using the information. For example, according to the distance traveled, it is possible to provide a free oil replacement privilege or a new vehicle discount privilege. In addition, for example, when a toll road toll is settled using the electronic money function of the mobile phone 12, a discount service according to the travel distance is provided, or an environmental discount service according to the number of passengers (for example, The more passengers there are, the better the energy efficiency, so the tolls can be reduced accordingly). Furthermore, for example, various environmental discount services such as a gasoline price discount can be provided according to the fuel consumption of the vehicle.

  Further, for example, when the mobile phone 12 is placed on the proximity communication control device 31 using a holder or the like, the position information acquired from the in-vehicle device 32 when the state of the vehicle changes, for example, when the vehicle stops or leaves. It is also possible to store the time information, the state of the vehicle, etc. in the mobile phone 12. For example, when an abnormality (for example, failure or theft) occurs in the vehicle, information stored in the mobile phone 12 may be an important clue for solving the abnormality.

  Further, for example, when the user places the mobile phone 12 over the proximity communication control device 31, the proximity communication control device 31 transmits the vehicle body number of the vehicle to the mobile phone 12. When recall information and campaign information obtained using a medium such as an email, a website, or a magazine are stored in the mobile phone 12, the obtained body number is used to store the information on the vehicle that the user owns. It can be made to make mobile phone 12 discriminate whether it is applicable information.

  Next, an example of other processing executed by the communication system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  First, the settlement process executed by the near field communication control device 31 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that this process is started, for example, when the user inputs a predetermined pay service settlement instruction provided by the server 15 via the input unit 103.

Specifically, the payment processing unit 149 acquires a payment service payment command input by the user. The payment processing unit 149 supplies information indicating the pay service for which payment is instructed by the user to the pay information acquisition unit 150.

  The paid information acquisition unit 150 transmits information requesting transmission of information related to the paid service designated by the user to the server 15 via the bus 121, the SCC 112, the in-vehicle network 41, the communication device 33, and the network 16. . The CPU 501 of the server 15 receives information transmitted from the near field communication control device 31 via the communication unit 507, the input / output interface 512, and the bus 511. The CPU 501 transmits information on the designated pay service recorded in the recording unit 506 to the in-vehicle system 11 via the input / output interface 512, the communication unit 507, and the network 16. The pay information acquisition unit 150 receives information related to the pay service transmitted from the server 15 via the communication device 33, the in-vehicle network 41, the SCC 112, and the bus 121.

  In addition, as this pay service, for example, various contents of digital broadcasting, map information for navigation devices, and the like are conceivable. In addition, when parking at a predetermined place (eg airport parking lot) that is highly likely to suffer damage such as theft or vandalism, a short-term vehicle provided by a management company that manages the place Insurance can be considered.

The settlement processing unit 149 reads out information for instructing acquisition of electronic money information (for example, the balance of electronic money) of the mobile phone 12 and supplies the information to the control unit 142. The read control unit 142 generates a read command for requesting reading of electronic money information. The read control unit 142 transmits the generated read command to the mobile phone 12 via the communication control unit 141, the modulation unit 115, and the antenna 102.

  The mobile phone 12 receives the read command transmitted from the near field communication control device 31 in step S94 of FIG. 16 to be described later. In step S95, the mobile phone 12 sends a read response command that is a response to the read command and includes electronic money information. Send.

This determination process is repeatedly executed until it is determined that transmission of electronic money information is requested. The communication control unit 281 uses the antenna 261, the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 262, and the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 263 to read out the electronic money transmitted from the near field communication control device 31 in step S65 of FIG. If a command is received, it is determined that transmission of electronic money information is requested, and the process proceeds to step S95.

  In step S95, the read control unit 282 transmits electronic money information. Specifically, the communication control unit 281 supplies the received read command to the read control unit 282. The read control unit 282 reads the requested electronic money information from the EEPROM 266 and generates a read response command including the electronic money information. The read control unit 282 transmits the generated read response command to the near field communication control device 31 via the communication control unit 281, the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 263, the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 262, and the antenna 261.

  In step S96, the communication control unit 281 determines whether or not electronic money information has been transmitted. This determination processing is repeatedly executed until it is determined that electronic money information has been transmitted. When the communication control unit 281 receives the write command transmitted from the near field communication control device 31 in step S70 of FIG. 15 described above via the antenna 261, the ASK modulation / demodulation unit 262, and the BPSK modulation / demodulation unit 263, It is determined that money information has been transmitted, and the process proceeds to step S97.

  In step S97, the writing control unit 283 stores the electronic money information, and the electronic money process ends. Specifically, the communication control unit 281 supplies the write command received in step S96 to the write control unit 283. The write control unit 283 stores the electronic money information included in the write command in the EEPROM 266 based on the write command. Thereby, the information of electronic money is updated to the information after settlement.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S93 that the vehicle is not a registered vehicle, the processes in steps S94 to S97 are skipped, and the electronic money process ends.

  In this way, payment for a paid service related to the vehicle can be easily performed using the mobile phone 12.

  In the above description, an example of processing in the case of making a payment before using the toll service has been shown. However, the present invention can be applied after using the toll service (for example, when paying a toll on a toll road). The present invention can also be applied to processing for settlement.

  In some cases, the toll road fee, gasoline fee, and the like are divided by the number of passengers, but the proximity communication terminal device 31 may be provided with the following dividing function. That is, for example, the proximity communication terminal device 31 is made aware of the number of passengers by inputting the number of passengers or by placing all the mobile phones in turn in the proximity communication terminal device 31. The proximity communication terminal device 31 calculates the amount per person by dividing the settled amount by the number of passengers. After that, by placing all the mobile phones again in the proximity communication terminal device 31 in order, the proximity communication terminal device 31 performs the settlement by subtracting the calculated amount from the balance of the electronic money of the cellular phone that has not performed the settlement. The total amount of money deducted from the electronic money of another mobile phone is added to the balance of the electronic money of the mobile phone.

  Furthermore, information that limits stores and facilities that can be settled by the above-described processing is registered in the mobile phone 12, and this processing is used only for paid services provided by the registered stores and facilities. You may make it possible to settle.

  Next, an example of still another process using the communication system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the authentication process of the near field communication control device 31. This process is started, for example, when a power switch (not shown) of the near field communication control device 31 is turned on.

  If it is determined in step S121 whether or not communication with the mobile phone 12 is possible as in the above-described process of step S1 of FIG. The process proceeds to step S122.

  In step S122, authentication information is exchanged with the mobile phone 12 in the same manner as in step S2 of FIG.

  If it is determined in step S123 whether or not the mobile phone 12 in communication is a registered mobile phone, as in the process of step S3 in FIG. 12 described above, and it is determined that the mobile phone 12 is a registered mobile phone The process proceeds to step S124.

  In step S124, the in-vehicle device control unit 147 performs processing at the time of authentication permission, and the authentication processing ends. Specifically, for example, the in-vehicle device control unit 147 controls the in-vehicle device 32 to unlock a door lock or a trunk key of an automobile or start an engine of a vehicle. Thereby, for example, when the key of the keyless entry system is forgotten, the mobile phone 12 can be used as an auxiliary key. Further, for example, the in-vehicle device control unit 147 controls the in-vehicle device 32 to change the display of the instrument panel on the instrument panel to a design preset for the authenticated user.

  Further, for example, when the vehicle in which the in-vehicle system 11 is provided is an electric vehicle, the in-vehicle device control unit when the mobile phone 12 is placed on the proximity communication control device 31 provided in the power supply port and authentication is permitted. 147 controls the in-vehicle device 32 to permit the use of the power supply port. The charging device is also provided with an authentication function, and the mobile phone 12 is placed over the charging device so that charging can be started when authentication is permitted.

  On the other hand, when the authentication on the charging device side is not permitted, the charging device notifies the user with, for example, an image or sound, and permits charging by charging. In this case, for example, the charging device performs control so that the power supply cable is not disconnected from the power supply port of the automobile until the charged amount is input (until the charged amount is paid).

  Note that the content of the permitted processing may be switched for each mobile phone 12 (mobile ID). For example, the doors that can be unlocked may be limited for each mobile phone 12 (mobile ID) (for example, limited to only the sliding door behind the automobile, or limited to the door of the driver's seat).

  If it is determined in step S123 that the mobile phone is not registered, the authentication process proceeds to step S125.

  In step S125, the in-vehicle device control unit 147 performs processing when authentication is not possible, and the processing ends. Specifically, for example, the in-vehicle device control unit 147 controls the in-vehicle device 32 to display a warning display on the instrument panel in order to prevent the vehicle from being stolen.

  In this way, the mobile phone 12 can be used for authentication before various operations of the vehicle are performed.

  As described above, the convenience of the user who uses the vehicle in which the in-vehicle system 11 is provided can be improved. In addition, the operation of a plurality of in-vehicle devices, which has been conventionally performed by using a dedicated remote controller or key, or by using an operation unit of the in-vehicle device, is operated by using one mobile phone 12. be able to.

Detection is based on information read from the integrated IC tag. It is also possible to make payment at the gas station using the mobile phone 12 by the processing described above with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. Furthermore, it is possible to receive a member privilege using the mobile phone 12 instead of presenting the member card by the process described above with reference to FIGS. As described above, since the operation of the fuel filler, the settlement, and the enjoyment of the member benefits are performed collectively using the mobile phone 12, the convenience of the driver is improved. In the case of an electric vehicle, the fuel tank control device 626 may control charging through the power supply port of the vehicle.

  As described above, the near field communication control device 31 performs processing of the communication device 33, the navigation device 621, the audio device 622, and the video recorder 623 connected to the AV network 631, based on the information read from the mobile phone 12. And the processing of the opening / closing section control device 624, the engine control device 625, and the fuel tank control device 626 connected to the in-vehicle network 632 is controlled.
