Abstract

The present invention provides an in-vehicle electronic system including: an in-vehicle electronic apparatus mounted in a vehicles and a portable electronic apparatus detachably provided to the in-vehicle electronic apparatus, and the in-vehicle electronic apparatus includes: a detecting portion detecting a connection of the portable electronic apparatus; and a first controller requesting the portable electronic apparatus to display display information of the portable electronic apparatus on a display portion of the portable electronic apparatus, when detecting a connection of the portable electronic apparatus.

Claims

1. An in-vehicle electronic system comprising:

an in-vehicle electronic apparatus mounted in a vehicle; and

a portable electronic apparatus detachably provided to the in-vehicle electronic apparatus,

wherein;

the in-vehicle electronic apparatus comprises;

a detecting portion detecting an electrical connection of the portable electronic apparatus; and

a first controller determining whether or not the portable electronic apparatus is powered on when detecting the electrical connection of the portable electronic apparatus, activating the portable electronic apparatus and requesting the portable electronic apparatus to display information of the portable electronic apparatus on a display portion of the portable electronic apparatus when the portable electronic apparatus is not powered on.

2. The in-vehicle electronic system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a second controller controlling the portable electronic apparatus continuously displays information of route guide that has been displayed on the display portion before the portable electronic apparatus is attached to the in-vehicle electronic apparatus, after the portable electronic apparatus is attached to the in-vehicle electronic apparatus.

3. The in-vehicle electronic system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the second controller causes the display portion to display display information of the portable electronic apparatus, when detecting that the portable electronic apparatus is removed from the in-vehicle electronic apparatus.

4. The in-vehicle electronic system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the in-vehicle electronic apparatus comprises a switch switching between a first display displaying display information of the portable electronic apparatus and a second display displaying the display information of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus, on the display portion, in a state where the portable electronic apparatus is attached.

5. The in-vehicle electronic system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first controller turns off display of the display portion, when the switch is pushed continuously for more than a given period of time.

6. The in-vehicle electronic system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first controller displays display information of the portable electronic apparatus on the display portion, when the in-vehicle electronic apparatus is powered on.

7. An in-vehicle electronic apparatus mounted in a vehicle and detachably provided with a portable electronic apparatus, the in-vehicle electronic apparatus comprising:

a detecting portion detecting an electrical connection of the portable electronic apparatus; and

a first controller determining whether or not the portable electronic apparatus is powered on when detecting the electrical connection of the portable electronic apparatus, activating the portable electronic apparatus and requesting the portable electronic apparatus to display display information of the portable electronic apparatus on a display portion of the portable electronic apparatus when the portable electronic apparatus is not powered on.
