Abstract

A navigation device includes: a hands-free call unit that is connected to a mobile-phone handset and provides a hands-free call; an acquisition unit that acquires from the mobile-phone handset data related to a phone number stored in the mobile-phone handset; a display control unit that displays a screen based upon the data related to the phone number acquired by the acquisition unit; a storage unit in which the screen displayed by the display control unit when power is turned off is stored; and a redisplay control unit that calls and redisplays the screen stored in the storage unit when the power is turned on again after having been turned off.

Claims

1. A navigation device, comprising:

a hands-free call unit that is connected to a mobile-phone handset and provides a hands-free call;

an acquisition unit that acquires from the mobile-phone handset data related to a phone number stored in the mobile-phone handset;

a display control unit that displays a screen based upon the data related to the phone number acquired by the acquisition unit;

a storage unit in which the screen displayed by the display control unit when power is turned off is stored; and

a redisplay control unit that calls and redisplays the screen stored in the storage unit when the power is turned on again after having been turned off.

2. A navigation device according to claim 1, wherein:

an incoming and outgoing call history related to a same phone number acquired by the acquisition unit includes only a latest one history with respect to each type of incoming answered calls, incoming missed calls, and outgoing calls.

3. A navigation device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a name input unit that inputs a name of the data related to the phone number; and

a name record unit that records individual identifying information of the mobile-phone handset and the name having been input by the name input unit while being associated with each other.

4. A navigation device according to claim 3, further comprising:

a search unit that searches data related to a phone number based upon the individual identifying information; and

an update unit that updates the data related to the phone number having been searched by the search unit to the data related to the phone number having been acquired by the acquisition unit.

5. A navigation device according to claim 4, wherein:

when the acquisition unit newly acquires latest data of the data related to the phone number, the search unit searches, based upon the individual identifying information, for the data related to the phone number having been acquired in a past by the acquisition unit, and the update unit updates the data related to the phone number having been searched by the search unit to the latest data.
