(First Embodiment)
The vehicle-mounted terminal 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. The in-vehicle terminal 1 is an in-vehicle device capable of providing various services to a user by executing an application. The in-vehicle terminal 1 is provided by, for example, a car navigation device.

The in-vehicle terminal 1 includes a display unit 10, an input unit 20, a first USB communication unit 30, a second USB communication unit 40, a BT communication unit 50, a WF communication unit 60, and a control device 100.

The display unit 10 is a display capable of displaying images, characters, videos, and the like, and displays the contents described later.

The input unit 20 is an input interface that accepts operations by the user. The input unit 20 is provided by a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 10, a physical switch arranged around the display unit 10, or the like. The input unit 20 sequentially provides the received operation information to the control device 100.

The first USB communication unit 30, the second USB communication unit 40, the BT communication unit 50, and the WF communication unit 60 are a plurality of communication units provided in the vehicle-mounted terminal 1. Each communication unit can be connected to the mobile terminal 200 by a specified communication method. The first USB communication unit 30 and the second USB communication unit 40 communicate with the mobile terminal 200 by wired communication (USB communication) by USB connection. The BT communication unit 50 communicates with the mobile terminal 200 by wireless communication (BT communication) according to Bluetooth (registered trademark). It is assumed that the BT communication unit 50 of the present embodiment can communicate with up to two mobile terminals 200 at the same time. The WF communication unit 60 communicates with the mobile terminal 200 by wireless communication (Wi-Fi communication) according to Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

The mobile terminal 200 connected to each communication unit can communicate with each unit by a predetermined communication method such as USB communication, BT communication, Wi-Fi communication, and the like. An application is installed on the mobile terminal 200. The application installed in the mobile terminal 200 is executed only by the mobile terminal 200 or by cooperation between the mobile terminal 200 and the in-vehicle terminal 1.

The control device 100 controls the display of information to the user based on the information from each of the above-mentioned communication units and input units 20. The control device 100 mainly includes a computer including a memory 101, a processor 102, an input / output interface, and a bus connecting them. The processor 102 is hardware for arithmetic processing. The processor 102 includes, for example, at least one of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) -CPU, and the like as a core.

The memory 101 non-transiently stores or stores a computer-readable program, data, or the like, for example, at least one type of non-transitional substantive storage medium (non-transitional memory, magnetic medium, optical medium, or the like, etc.). transitory tangible storage medium). The memory 101 stores various programs executed by the processor 102, such as a display control program described later.

The processor 102 executes a plurality of instructions included in the display control program stored in the memory 101. As a result, the control device 100 constructs a plurality of functional units for controlling the display of information to the user. In this way, in the control device 100, a plurality of functional units are constructed by causing the processor 102 to execute a plurality of instructions by the program stored in the memory 101. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the control device 100 is constructed with functional units such as a communication control unit 110, an application execution unit 120, and a display control unit 130.

The communication control unit 110 controls communication with the mobile terminal 200 via the communication unit. Specifically, the communication control unit 110 executes initial communication of the connection method corresponding to the communication unit with the mobile terminal 200, and establishes the communication. When the communication with the mobile terminal 200 is established, the communication control unit 110 provides the display control unit 130 with information about the communication unit to which the mobile terminal 200 is connected.

Further, the communication control unit 110 establishes a communication path between the application installed in the connected mobile terminal 200 and the application corresponding to the cooperation service (cooperation mode) between the in-vehicle terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 200. If there is an application that has succeeded in establishing a communication path, the communication control unit 110 determines that the application has been installed in the mobile terminal 200 and is running.

When one mobile terminal 200 is connected to a plurality of communication units at the same time, the communication control unit 110 establishes a communication path defined by the application. For example, when the USB connection is set to be prioritized in a specific application, the communication control unit 110 establishes a communication path via the USB communication unit for the application.

The communication control unit 110 specifies whether or not the application that has succeeded in establishing the communication path is actually permitted to be executed by cooperation. For example, the communication control unit 110 determines that the application is permitted to be executed by cooperation when the preset permission condition is satisfied. In addition, an application that is permitted to be executed by cooperation can be rephrased as an application that can be used in the cooperation service.

Specifically, when the priority connection method is set in the application to be determined, the communication control unit 110 determines whether or not the connection method is permitted based on this setting. That is, the communication control unit 110 is a mobile phone connected by a connection method in which the same application is not installed in another mobile terminal 200 connected by the priority connection method, or the application to be determined is prioritized. When it is installed in the terminal 200, it is determined that the execution by cooperation is permitted.

On the other hand, when the same application is installed in another mobile terminal 200 connected by the priority connection method, the communication control unit 110 determines that the execution of the application to be determined is not permitted by cooperation. .. In other words, an application that is not allowed to be executed by cooperation is an application that is restricted by cooperation. When the communication control unit 110 identifies an application whose cooperation is restricted, the communication control unit 110 sequentially provides information about the application to the display control unit 130.

Further, the communication control unit 110 specifies whether or not the application for which the communication path is not established is permitted to be executed by cooperation. For example, the communication control unit 110 acquires information from the middleware application or the OS of the mobile terminal 200 that identifies whether the application whose communication path is not established is either not started or not installed. The communication control unit 110 determines that the application that has not been installed is an application for which cooperation is not permitted. The communication control unit 110 determines whether or not cooperation is permitted by further acquiring information regarding application settings for an unstarted application.

When the switching operation of the linked application is input in the input unit 20, the communication control unit 110 executes the switching control of the linked application according to the operation. The communication control unit 110 sequentially provides the display control unit 130 with respect to changes in the cooperation state accompanying the input from the input unit 20.

Further, the communication control unit 110 also executes identification of whether or not communication is possible for each communication unit. For example, when the communication control unit 110 can communicate with only one of the two USB communication units by the roll switch and the other cannot communicate, the communication control unit 110 displays information about the communication unit that cannot communicate. It is sequentially provided to 130.

The communication control unit 110 described above is an example of a “specific unit”.

The application execution unit 120 executes an application (vehicle-mounted application) installed on the vehicle-mounted terminal 1. For example, the application execution unit 120 executes a navigation application that provides a navigation service to the destination of the vehicle. The application execution unit 120 appropriately provides the display control unit 130 with information about the application being executed. When the application (mobile side application) in the mobile terminal 200 is being executed in cooperation with the in-vehicle terminal 1, the application execution unit 120 interrupts the execution of the in-vehicle side application. Alternatively, the application execution unit 120 may execute the in-vehicle side application in the background when the mobile side application is being executed.

The display control unit 130 controls the display content related to the service provided by the in-vehicle application or the mobile application. For example, when the navigation application of the mobile terminal 200 is linked, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 10 to display the display contents related to the navigation service such as the destination search and the route guidance. The display content to be displayed on the display unit 10 may be the same as the display content on the mobile terminal 200, or may be different, such as only a part of the content permitted by the mobile terminal 200. The display control unit 130 appropriately changes the display content according to the operation information input by the input unit 20 or the operation information acquired by the operation unit of the mobile terminal 200.

Further, when the display control unit 130 needs to input authentication information such as an ID and a password in connection with the mobile terminal 200, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 10 to display an image requesting the user to input the authentication information. ..

In addition, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 10 to display contents indicating an application that can be executed by the connection state with the mobile terminal 200 and the cooperation with the mobile terminal 200. These displays may be executed in a display area different from the service display in parallel with the above-mentioned display related to the service (service display), or may be displayed switchably between the service display and the service display.

Specifically, the display control unit 130 displays the content including the in-vehicle terminal image Pv, the mobile terminal image Pm, the communication path image Pcr, and the application image Pa. The display control unit 130 indicates an application or the like that can be executed by the connection state and cooperation by combining these images.

The in-vehicle terminal image Pv indicates a plurality of communication units in the in-vehicle terminal 1. For example, the vehicle-mounted terminal image Pv includes a frame image showing the existence of the vehicle-mounted terminal 1 and a communication unit icon ICc. Further, the application image Pa is displayed in the frame image. The details of the application image Pa will be described later.

The communication unit icon ICc is an icon image showing a plurality of communication units, and indicates the communication method of each communication unit and the number of mobile terminals 200 (connectable number) that can be connected to the communication unit. In the example shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the communication unit icon ICc is an image in which a rectangular figure describing the communication method of the corresponding communication unit and a circular figure superimposed on the end of the rectangle are combined. It is regarded as an icon. The circular figure indicates a point connected by the communication path image Pcr described later. The communication unit icon ICc may indicate the communication method of the communication unit by a symbol, a symbol, or the like. The same number of communication unit icon ICc as the number that can be connected is displayed. In the case of the present embodiment, one unit can be connected to two communication unit icon ICc indicating the first USB communication unit 30 and the second USB communication unit 40, and two communication unit icon ICc indicating two BT communication units 50 that can be connected. A total of five communication unit icon ICc, one communication unit icon ICc indicating the WF communication unit 60, is displayed.

Specifically, in FIGS. 2 to 4, one communication unit icon ICc described as "USB port 1" corresponds to the first USB communication unit 30, and one communication unit described as "USB port 2". The icon ICc corresponds to the second USB communication unit 40. Then, two communication unit icon ICc described as "Bluetooth" correspond to the BT communication unit 50, and one communication unit icon ICc described as "Wi-Fi" corresponds to the WF communication unit 60.

The mobile terminal image Pm is an image showing the existence of the mobile terminal 200 connected to the in-vehicle terminal 1. The mobile terminal image Pm shows the corresponding mobile terminal 200 so as to be distinguishable from other mobile terminals 200. In the example shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the mobile terminal image Pm discriminates the corresponding mobile terminal 200 from the graphic image on the rectangle showing the mobile terminal 200 and the character image of the terminal name described in the graphic. Shown as possible. Further, the mobile terminal image Pm includes a circular graphic image connected by the communication path image Pcr described later, similarly to the communication unit icon ICc. When the corresponding mobile terminal 200 is connected to a plurality of communication units at the same time, the graphic image is displayed in the same number as the number of connections. Further, when there is a communication unit in which communication is impossible, the display control unit 130 hides the mobile terminal image Pm corresponding to the mobile terminal 200 connected to the communication unit.

The communication path image Pcr shows the connection state between the mobile terminal 200 and the communication unit. The communication path image Pcr is, for example, a graphic image connecting the mobile terminal image Pm and the communication unit icon ICc, and in the examples of FIGS. 2 to 4, it has a double-headed arrow shape. That is, when the specific mobile terminal 200 is connected to the specific communication unit, the mobile terminal image Pm corresponding to the specific mobile terminal 200 and the communication unit icon ICc corresponding to the specific communication unit are connected. The communication path image Pcr is displayed. The communication path image Pcr is an example of "connection content".

The application image Pa shows the state of the application in the corresponding mobile terminal 200 or the in-vehicle terminal 1. The application image Pa is indicated by a symbol, a description of the application name, or the like. The application image Pa is displayed superimposed on each terminal image Pv, Pm, and indicates the cooperation state of the application in each terminal. Specifically, the application image Pa indicates whether or not the application can be executed by the linked service. In addition, the application image Pa indicates whether or not the application that can be executed by the linked service is running. Further, the application image Pa indicates whether the unexecutable application is installed and restricted in cooperation or not installed. The application image Pa is an example of "application content".

The display control unit 130 shows the various states described above by changing the display mode of the application image Pa, for example. Specifically, the display control unit 130 displays the application image Pa in display colors corresponding to various states. In the examples shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the display colors in the linked and activated state are shown as dot hatches, and the displayed colors in the linked and unstarted state are shown as vertical broken line hatches. In addition, the display color in the state where the cooperation is restricted is shown as a grid-like hatch, and the display color in the uninstalled state is displayed as a shaded hatch.

Specific examples of the display of the contents described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

First, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 200 is connected to the first USB communication unit 30 and the BT communication unit 50 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 1, respectively. In the following, the terminal name of the mobile terminal 200 connected to the first USB communication unit 30 will be referred to as “mobile terminal α”, and the terminal name of the mobile terminal 200 connected to the BT communication unit 50 will be referred to as “mobile terminal β”. It is assumed that the applications A and C are installed on the mobile terminal α. It is assumed that the application A is installed on the mobile terminal β and the application C is not installed. Further, it is assumed that the application A has a restriction that the USB connection is prioritized.

In this case, one communication path image Pcr is displayed so as to connect the communication unit icon ICc corresponding to the first USB communication unit 30 and the mobile terminal image Pm corresponding to the mobile terminal α. Then, another communication path image Pcr is displayed so as to connect one communication unit icon ICc corresponding to the BT communication unit 50 and the mobile terminal image Pm corresponding to the mobile terminal β.

The application image Pa showing the application A in the mobile terminal α is displayed as a state in which it can be linked and is running (dot hatching), and the application image Pa showing the application A in the mobile terminal β cannot be linked and is displayed. Displayed as a constrained state (lattice hatch). Further, the application image Pa showing the application C in the mobile terminal β is displayed as a state in which it can be linked and has not been started (hatching of a vertical broken line), and the application image Pa showing the application A in the mobile terminal β is not linked. It is displayed as possible and not installed (hatched diagonal line).

In the example shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the mobile terminals α and β of FIG. 2, the display when the mobile terminal γ is newly connected by Wi-Fi communication is shown. It is assumed that application A and application B are installed in the mobile terminal γ and are running respectively.

By connecting the mobile terminal γ, the display control unit 130 further displays the mobile terminal image Pm corresponding to the mobile terminal γ and the new communication path image Pcr. The new communication path image Pcr is displayed so as to connect the newly displayed mobile terminal image Pm and the communication unit icon ICc corresponding to the WF communication unit 60.

Here, it is assumed that an operation of switching the cooperation of the application A with the in-vehicle terminal 1 on the mobile terminal α to the cooperation of the application A on the mobile terminal γ is input to the input unit 20. In this case, the application image Pa showing the application A on the mobile terminal γ is changed from the display color indicating the uncoordinated and restricted state to the display color indicating the coordinating and running state. On the other hand, the application image Pa showing the application A on the mobile terminal α is changed from the display color indicating the state in which cooperation is possible and in operation to the display color indicating the state in which cooperation is not possible and the constraint state by the operation of switching the cooperation. To.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal α is connected to the first USB communication unit 30 by USB, is connected to the BT communication unit 50 via Bluetooth, and is further connected to the WF communication unit 60 by Wi-Fi. It is assumed that the application A in the mobile terminal α is linked to the vehicle-mounted terminal 1 by USB communication, and the application C is linked to the vehicle-mounted terminal 1 by Wi-Fi communication.

In this case, the display control unit 130 displays the communication path image Pcr so as to indicate the communication unit with which each application in the mobile terminal 200 communicates. Specifically, two communication path images connecting the communication unit icon ICc corresponding to the first USB communication unit 30 and the application image Pa showing the application A of the mobile terminal 200 via a circular graphic image of the mobile terminal image Pm. Pcr is displayed. In addition, two communication path images Pcr connecting the communication unit icon ICc corresponding to the WF communication unit 60 and the application image Pa showing the application C of the mobile terminal 200 via a circular graphic image of the mobile terminal image Pm are displayed. Will be done.

The display control unit 130 stores the connection state between the in-vehicle terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 200 and the cooperation state of the application in a storage medium such as a memory 101 when the power of the vehicle is turned off. The display control unit 130 displays the previous connection state and the cooperation state as the initial display when the in-vehicle terminal 1 is started next time.

In the display control of the connection state and the cooperation state, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 10 to display, for example, a plurality of image contents. Hereinafter, an example of the image content displayed by the display control unit 130 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

Next, the flow of the display control method executed by the control device 100 in collaboration with the functional blocks will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In the flow described later, "S" means a plurality of steps of the flow executed by a plurality of instructions included in the program.

The flow of FIG. 5 is started when the in-vehicle terminal 1 is activated. First, in S10, the display control unit 130 executes initial display regarding the connection state between the in-vehicle terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 200 and the cooperation state of the application. Next, in S20, the communication control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a connection with the mobile terminal 200. If it is determined that the mobile terminal 200 is not connected, the process waits until the connection is detected. When it is determined that there is a connection with the mobile terminal 200, the process proceeds to S30, and the communication control unit 110 performs initial communication with the mobile terminal 200 to establish the connection.

In the following S40, the communication control unit 110 establishes a communication path with the in-vehicle terminal 1 for the application in the mobile terminal 200 for which the connection has been established. Further, in S50, the display control unit 130 displays the connection state with the mobile terminal 200 and the cooperation state with the application on the display unit 10. Then, in S60, the communication control unit 110 determines whether or not the mobile terminal 200 that has established communication has changed, that is, whether or not the connection of the mobile terminal 200 has been disconnected or the connection of a new mobile terminal 200 has been detected. do. When it is determined that the mobile terminal 200 for which the connection has been established has changed, the display of the connection status and the cooperation status is updated by returning to the processing of S40 and S50. The control device 100 repeats the above processing until the power of the in-vehicle terminal 1 is turned off.

The flow of FIG. 6 is repeatedly executed while the display control unit 130 displays the connection state and the cooperation state. First, in S70, the display control unit 130 determines whether or not there is a cooperation switching operation. If it is determined that there is a cooperation switching operation, the process proceeds to S80, and the communication control unit 110 switches the application to be linked. Next, in S90, the display control unit 130 updates the display of the cooperation state, and a series of processes is completed.

Therefore, the state of the application that can be executed by cooperation can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner.

Further, according to the first embodiment, the application image Pa showing an application that cannot be executed by cooperation is displayed in different display modes depending on whether the application is not installed or installed. Therefore, the user can understand the reason why the corresponding application cannot be executed due to the cooperation. Therefore, the state of the application that cannot be executed can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner by cooperation.

Further, according to the first embodiment, a communication path image Pcr indicating which communication unit the application executed by cooperation in the mobile terminal 200 connected at the same time to the plurality of communication units communicates with is displayed.
