Whether control part 90 is (step 8102) in full accord according to user's input decision.Selecting when in full accord, control part 90 shows the tabulation (step S103) of the first order data that retrieve corresponding to the pinyin character string.
Control part 90 is carried out phonetic retrieval with reference to the database that is stored in the facility name of memory storage 30, processes the tables of data of this result for retrieval of reflection.Tables of data by layering construct, that is, and first order data comprise after homogeneous data divides into groups father's data and as outside the object of group and remaining each data are used as subdata, second level data comprise that the data that each father's data are comprised are used as subdata.
The figure of the tables of data of the layering when Fig. 4 is explanation phonetic retrieval facility name.For example, when having imported " JYZ " as the pinyin character string, first order data 120 comprise with father's data of " JYZ " on all four " refuelling station (gasoline service station) ", with father's data of character string " JCT " on all four " JCT " etc.Second level data 122 comprise the subdata that first order father data are comprised.In other words, when a plurality of facility name of hitting through input of character string, it is gathered be one what form is father's data.
The demonstration example of the first order data 120 when Fig. 5 (a) is the phonetic retrieval facility name.On display, show with this parking stall and be changed to the map picture 130 at center and based on the tabulation 140 of the first order data that retrieve.In tabulation 140, show father's data and/or subdata.As stated, it is that a facility name forms that father's data gather a plurality of facility name, in tabulation 140, is shown as data.Thus, whole retrieval number of packages falls sharply.Because the retrieval number of packages falls sharply, therefore can in tabulation 140, show a lot of facility name.In addition, preferably, in subdata, show in the lump and put distance to destination from this parking stall, put the orientation of destination, the type under the facility from this parking stall, can discern the mark of facility etc., be used as attribute information.The information of these attribute informations registered in advance during with reference to the database of making facility name.In the example of Fig. 5 (a), show the distance of putting as attribute information 141 with this parking stall.
Then, show with reference to the tabulation shown in Fig. 5 (a), when the user from tabulating 140 when selecting desirable facility name (step 8104), control part 90 judges whether the facility name of selecting is father's data (step S105).If father's data, then control part 90 shows the tabulation (step S106) of the subdata that father's data of selecting are comprised.For example, in the example of Fig. 4, when selecting " refuelling station ", it is father's data that control part 90 is judged to be, and tabulation shows the subdata that these second level data 122 are comprised.Second level data 122 comprise distinctively: arrange in full accord 124 of forming with the on all four facility name of pinyin character and arrangement and comprise the consistent portion 126 of part that the facility name of pinyin character forms.When user's input was on all four retrieval, control part 90 tabulations showed in full accord 124 subdata.
Fig. 5 (b) is the demonstration example when from the tabulation 140 of Fig. 5 (a), having selected " refuelling station ".On display,, show the subdata " refuelling station " that father's data " refuelling station " are comprised with map picture 130 display lists 142.In addition, as the attribute information 143 of " refuelling station ", according to putting from closely showing the distance of putting with this parking stall to order far away with this parking stall.
Then; When from the tabulation of the second level shown in Fig. 5 (b) 142, having selected desirable subdata (step 8107); When perhaps from the tabulation of the first order shown in Fig. 5 (a) 140, having selected subdata, the processing (step S108) that execution is the destination with this subdata of selecting.
Then, action when the user has selected consistent retrieval of part is described.Be judged to be (step S102) when being the consistent retrieval of part, control part 90 shows the tabulation (step S110) of the first order data corresponding with the pinyin character string of being imported.The demonstration example of the first order data when Fig. 6 (a) is the phonetic retrieval facility name.On display, show with this parking stall and be changed to the map picture 150 at center and the tabulation 160 of the first order data that retrieve.In tabulation 160, not only show the also consistent facility name in display part of on all four facility name.In addition, display attribute information (distance of putting with this parking stall) 161 in the lump in subdata same as described abovely.
Then, when the user selects facility name from first order tabulation (step S111), control part 90 judges whether the facility name of selecting is father's data (step S112), when being father's data, shows the tabulation (step S113) of the subdata that father's data are comprised.Fig. 6 (b) is the demonstration example when from the tabulation 160 of Fig. 6 (a), having selected father's data " refuelling station ".As shown in Figure 4, show the facility name of in full accord 124 consistent portion 126 in 162 distinctively in tabulation with part, and then, show the attribute information (distance of putting with this parking stall) 163 of facility name in the lump.Fig. 6 (c) arranges the demonstration example that tabulation 162 forms again according to the order of the distance of putting with this parking stall.In tabulation 164, mix the facility name that ground shows that on all four facility name is consistent with part according to distance order (attribute information 165).
When the user selects desirable data from the subdata of second level tabulation 162 (step S114), control part 90 is set at the destination with the subdata of selecting, and for example begins to put from this parking stall the route searching disposal (step S08) of destination.
Like this according to present embodiment, when retrieving a plurality of facility name consistent with the phonetic retrieval character, with they gather be father's data presentation in tabulation, thereby can reduce the retrieval number of packages, the user can be easily from wherein selecting desirable facility name.In addition, through when tabulation shows subdata, showing their attribute information, even if title is identical, through with reference to attribute information, it is easy that the identification of facility name also becomes.
The foregoing description shows the example according to facility name phonetic retrieval destination, but this is an illustration, also can be other retrievals.Also can use the present invention in basis when for example other titles such as region name, residence name, type name are retrieved.And then, the invention is not restricted to guider, can also be applicable to information make database, from indexing unit of this database retrieval desired information etc.
