Portable terminal and on-vehicle information processing device
First Claim
1. A portable terminal which is capable of being connected to an on-vehicle device, comprising:
- a bi-directional data communication device;
a display capable of displaying text and image information;
a memory for storing data; and
a processor for receiving/transmitting various data from/to an information center in accordance with connected/disconnected sates of the portable terminal with respect to the on-vehicle device, said information center being separate from the on-vehicle device and the portable terminal, said processor, when the portable terminal is disconnected from the on-vehicle device, displaying data on said display based on data obtained from the on-vehicle device when the portable terminal is in a connected state.

Abstract
A portable terminal and an on-vehicle device are combined such that effective navigation can be provided. The portable terminal provided with communication function is connected with the on-vehicle information processing device when placed on a cradle. The portable terminal transmits a destination to an information center, and shows obtained route data on a display while transmitting the route data to the on-vehicle device which outputs guidance speech from a speaker. On arriving near the destination, the on-vehicle information processing device provides the portable terminal with map data for the vicinity of the destination. A user can remove the portable terminal from the cradle and reach the destination while viewing a map shown on the display of the portable terminal.
