[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional navigation apparatus and method, since there is no link between the map database and the guide information database efficiently, it is not possible to directly obtain the guide information around the currently set destination. It takes a long time to set a destination, and it takes time to select a destination.
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a navigation display in which guidance information on the position of a vehicle, the position of a destination, and direction is displayed on map information including landmarks as the vehicle moves, and can be selected. In the method for selecting guidance information in the above, a condition setting step of setting at least a required facility type from the information on the plurality of facilities displayed in the image, and a currently set facility type based on the set facility type A destination surrounding search step for extracting information of facilities within a predetermined range based on the position of the destination; a list displaying step for listing and displaying facilities around the extracted destination; A destination setting step of selecting the facility of the destination and setting the destination.
Is a basic feature.
[0005]
[Action]
In the condition setting step, at least the type of the required facility is set from the information on the plurality of facilities displayed in the image, and in the destination surrounding search step, the currently set purpose is set based on the set type of the facility. Information on facilities within a predetermined range is extracted based on the position of the ground. Then, the facilities around the extracted destination are listed up and displayed (list display step), and a predetermined facility is selected from the listed facilities and set as the destination.
[0006]
Embodiment
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, on a guide information screen 2 on a display screen 1, each item information 3, access 4, safety 5, and highway 6 of the guide information are displayed, and these can be arbitrarily selected. This selection may be made by, for example, operating keys or a touch panel corresponding to the display. Here, if the information 3 is selected, a display area selection screen 7 is displayed next. Here, the vicinity 8 of the vehicle position, the vicinity 9 of the destination, and the nationwide area information 20 are displayed, and any one of them can be displayed. Position data (latitude, longitude) is added to each database, and a position can be registered on a map from guide information and set as a destination as described later.
[0007]
When the vicinity 8 of the vehicle position or the vicinity 9 of the destination is selected, the guidance information within a predetermined range based on the vehicle position when the vicinity 8 of the vehicle position is selected and the destination when the vicinity 9 of the destination is selected is displayed. The information is read, the information screen 10 is displayed, and various facilities are selectively displayed. If the accommodation facility 11 is selected here, the accommodation facility screen 12 is displayed, and various accommodation facilities are displayed. If the predetermined accommodation facility 13 is selected, a predetermined accommodation facility display screen 14 showing the details of the predetermined accommodation facility 13 is displayed. When the position setting 15 is selected here, the predetermined accommodation facility 13 is set as the destination. Settings are registered. Thereby, the destination can be set directly from the guidance information. The other access 4, safety 5, and highway 6 items of the guide information screen 2 can be set as destinations in the same manner as described above.
[0008]
When an item is selected on the information screen 10, it is also possible to calculate the distance between the destination position and each facility position and display the calculated distance in ascending order of distance. The configuration in this case will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0009]
In FIG. 2, when a destination periphery 9 is selected (step 50), landmarks around the destination are read from the database, and the information screen 10, the accommodation facility screen 12, the predetermined accommodation facility display screen 14, etc., as described above. Are sequentially displayed and selected (step 51). When the position setting 15 is selected (step 52), the position is stored in the memory as the destination (step 53), and the position is displayed on the map screen (step 54). If the position setting 15 is not set, the process ends.
[0010]
In FIG. 3, when the destination periphery 9 is selected (step 55), landmarks around the destination are read from the database, and the information screen 10, the accommodation facility screen 12, the predetermined accommodation facility display screen 14, etc., as described above. The display is selected sequentially (step 56). Then, the distance between the destination and the landmark is obtained from the position data (step 57), and the distance is listed in ascending order (step 58).
When a predetermined landmark is selected and the position setting 15 is selected (step 59), the position is stored in a memory as a destination (step 60), and the position is displayed on a map screen (step 61). If the position setting 15 is not set, the process ends.
[0011]
4 and 5 will be described in detail when the national area selection 20 is selected on the display area selection screen 7. FIG. When the nationwide area selection 20 is selected, a nationwide area selection screen 16 is displayed as shown in FIG. 4, and the nationwide area is displayed. Here, when a predetermined area is selected, the screen is switched to a prefecture name selection screen 17. In this example, an example in which the Kanto area is selected is shown, and the name of each prefecture in Kanto is displayed. When a prefecture name is selected here, the display of FIG. 1C is displayed, and various facilities are selected and displayed. Here, as described above, if the accommodation facility 11 is selected, the accommodation facility screen 12 is displayed, and various accommodation facilities are displayed. Similarly, if the predetermined accommodation facility 13 is selected, a predetermined accommodation facility display screen 14 showing the details of the predetermined accommodation facility 13 is displayed. It is set and registered as a place. Thereby, the destination can be set directly from the guidance information.
FIG. 5 shows a tree of each data described above.
