Description

  The present invention relates to an in-vehicle telephone device, and more particularly to an in-vehicle telephone device that communicates with a counterpart via a mobile phone.

  The in-vehicle telephone device is configured to make a hands-free call with a partner via a mobile phone. Such an in-vehicle telephone device can make a call by directly inputting the other party's telephone number, but even using the telephone number of communication history data (outgoing history data, incoming history data) downloaded from a mobile phone A call can be made (Patent Document 1). In other words, the in-vehicle phone device has the latest predetermined number n of outgoing call history data (name, phone number, outgoing date) and incoming call history data (caller name, sender's phone number, incoming date) from the mobile phone, respectively. It is acquired and stored in a memory, and the outgoing call history list or the incoming call history list is scrollably displayed as required by the user, and a call can be made by selecting the name of the other party to be called.

By the way, the conventional in-vehicle telephone device sorts the communication history data (outgoing history data, incoming history data) downloaded from the in-vehicle telephone in the latest date order or date / time order. Sorts in word order of names (in alphabetical order) and saves in memory. When sorting is performed in this way, when a call is made by selecting a partner name and displaying a communication history list, a communication history list sorted in date order or date order is displayed as shown in FIG. A number of the same names will not be consecutive, and there will be no problem in selecting a calling party.
However, the above is the case where the communication history data includes a date or date / time. Depending on the mobile phone, the downloaded communication history data may not include the date or date and time, or the included communication history data and the non-included communication history data may be mixed. Conventionally, (1) If the communication history data does not include the date or date / time, it is sorted and stored in the memory in the order of phone number or name, and (2) the communication history data containing the date / date When communication history data not included is mixed, the communication history data included is sorted in the latest date order or date / time order, and the communication history data not included is sorted in phone number order or word order. Place it after the dated list and save it in memory. However, if sorting is performed in the order of telephone numbers or word names, a large number of the same names are arranged in succession. For this reason, when a call is made by selecting a partner name and displaying a communication history list, FIG. As shown, the same name (Inoue in the figure) is displayed in succession, and in extreme cases, the same name is displayed, which is inconvenient in selecting the calling party.

(A) Outline of the Present Invention FIGS. 1 and 2 are explanatory views of the outline of the present invention.
The in-vehicle in-vehicle telephone device that communicates with the other party via a mobile phone has a combination of communication history data including date or date and communication history data not including date or date in the communication history data received from the mobile phone. The communication history data including date or date / time is sorted in order of date or date / time to create a communication history list LTDT. After the sorted communication history list LTDT, communication history data not including date / date / time is sent from the mobile phone. A communication history list LTRV arranged in the order of reception is arranged and stored in the memory. If the communication history list CLST is created as described above, a large number of the same names will not continue in the communication history list CLST. This is because the mobile phone downloads the communication history data in the storage order, but it is unlikely to store the communication history data in the phone number order or the word order of the name. As described above, when the communication history list is displayed and the calling party is selected to make a call, the same name can be prevented from being displayed in succession as shown in the communication history list LTRV in FIG. Operation performance when making a call by selecting a partner is improved.

  The above is a case where communication history data including date or date / time and communication history data not including date / date / time are mixed in communication history data received from the mobile phone. May not contain a date or date / time. In such a case, the communication history list is stored in the memory in the order received from the mobile phone without sorting. If a communication history list is created in this way, the same name does not continue in the communication history list. This is for the same reason as in FIG. That is, the mobile phone downloads the communication history data in the storage order, but it is unlikely that the communication history data is stored in the phone number order or name order. As a result, when displaying a communication history list and selecting a calling party to make a call, it is possible to prevent the same name from being displayed in succession as shown in FIG. The operation performance when making a call is improved.

A communication history list LTRV arranged in the order received from the mobile phone is arranged and stored in the memory 13.
In addition, when the date is not included in all the communication history data received from the mobile phone 20, the control unit 11 stores the communication history list in the memory 13 in the order received from the mobile phone without sorting.

(C) Overall operation and display example of in-vehicle phone FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 are explanatory diagrams of operations and display examples until the in-vehicle phone of the present invention downloads and displays communication history data from a predetermined mobile phone.
A telephone screen is displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel, and the Setting menu 14a is selected (FIG. 4A). The in-vehicle phone may be a dedicated device, but may be an in-vehicle device having an intelligent function such as a hands-free function (automobile telephone function), an in-vehicle navigation function, and an audio function. When such an in-vehicle device is an in-vehicle telephone, a telephone screen, a navigation screen, an audio screen, and the like can be displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel. Therefore, when using the in-vehicle device as a hands-free telephone, it is necessary to display a telephone screen on the display unit 14.
When the Setting menu 14a is selected, as shown in FIG. 4B, the display unit 14 displays the Search Bluetooth menu 14b and selects the menu. As a result, the Bluetooth communication unit 12 starts searching for Bluetooth devices (such as a mobile phone having a Bluetooth communication function) existing in the area around the in-vehicle phone 10 and capable of Bluetooth communication. As shown in 4 (C), a search screen indicating that the search is in progress is displayed. When the search for the Bluetooth device (such as a mobile phone) is completed, the control unit 11 displays a list of Bluetooth device lists found by the search on the display 14 (FIG. 5A). In this state, the user selects a Bluetooth device to be used for telephone communication from the list display. Actually, a mobile phone equipped with a user-owned Bluetooth communication function should be selected.

If a mobile phone having a Bluetooth communication function is selected, the control unit 11 displays a message prompting the user to input a pass key on the display unit 14 (FIG. 5B). Here, when the user inputs a predetermined passkey, the Bluetooth communication unit 12 starts pairing with the selected mobile phone. If the pairing is successful, that is, if communication with the selected mobile phone becomes possible, the Bluetooth communication unit 12 The mobile phone 20 is requested to send and receive calls. The display on the display unit 14 returns to the initial telephone screen (FIG. 5C).
When the call history and the call history are requested, the mobile phone 20 downloads the call history data and the call history data stored in the built-in memory to the control unit 11 via the Bluetooth communication unit 12.

If the transmission history data and the incoming history data are downloaded, the control unit 11 sorts the outgoing history data and the incoming history data according to FIGS. 7 and 8, which will be described later, and the outgoing history list OCLST obtained by the sorting and The incoming call history list TCLST is stored in the memory 13.
When the Dialed List menu 14c is selected while the outgoing call history list OCLST and the incoming call history list TCLST are stored in the memory, the control unit 11 uses the outgoing call history list OCLST to display the display unit 14 as shown in FIG. When the Called List menu 14d is selected, the call history is displayed on the display unit 14 as shown in FIG. 6B using the call history list TCLST.
Note that a mobile phone that has already been paired automatically downloads outgoing call history data and incoming call history data without performing the above operation.

(D) Sorting process FIG. 7 shows a sorting process flow according to the present invention.
When the outgoing call history data and the incoming call history data are downloaded from the mobile phone 20, the control unit 11 temporarily stores them in the working memory (step 101). The sorting process is performed separately for outgoing call history data and incoming call history data. Hereinafter, the sorting process will be described assuming that these are called communication history data.
Then, it is checked whether all communication history data has a date or not, or whether communication history data with a date and communication history data without a date are mixed (step 102). “Date” means both a date only and a date and time unless otherwise specified.
If all the communication history data has a date, the communication history data is sorted in the date order (or date order) from the latest one, and the communication history list as the sorting result is stored in the memory 13 (step 103).
In step 102, if there is no date in all the communication history data, the communication history list is saved in the memory 13 in the order of download from the mobile phone 20 (reception order) without sorting (step 104).

  On the other hand, if the communication history data with the date and the communication history data without the date are mixed in step 102, the communication history data with the date is sorted in the date order (or the date order), and the list LTDT (FIG. 1) (step 105), and then a list LTRV in which communication history data not including the date is arranged in the order received from the mobile phone is created (step 106), and there is a date as shown in FIG. After the list LTDT, the list without date LTRV is combined and stored in the memory 13 (step 107).

FIG. 8 is a processing flow of steps 103 and 105 in FIG. 7 when the time information is not included in the date. First, i = 1 (step 201), out of the communication history data with date, the i-th communication history data is taken out from the working memory and sorted in date order (step 202). Next, it is checked whether or not there is communication history data with the same date as the i-th communication history data in the sorted data (step 203), and if there is, it is arranged in the order of reception (step 204).
Thereafter, it is checked whether or not the sorting is completed for the communication history data with all dates (step 205). If not completed, i is incremented (i + 1 → i, step 206). continue.
If the communication history list is created as described above, when the call history list is displayed and the other party's name is selected to make a call, the same name is not displayed in succession, and the calling party can be selected. It can be easily performed and the operation performance can be improved.
As described above, in the embodiment, the case where Bluetooth communication is performed between the in-vehicle phone and the mobile phone has been described. However, other communication methods such as wireless communication, infrared communication, and wired communication are also possible.
In the embodiment, the communication history data not including the date is arranged in the order received from the mobile phone to create a list. The communication history data not including the date is sorted in the order of the word name or the phone number, and the same phone number If there are names, only one can be left and others can be duplicated.
