【Example】
  An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
  The drawing shows an information display method. First, the configuration of an information display device used in this information display method will be described with reference to FIG.
[0019]
  A CPU 10 on the mobile terminal X side used as a CPU of an in-vehicle navigation device is provided, and this CPU 10 is a storage means comprising a positioning sensor 11 for measuring the current position of the vehicle, and a hard disk storing road maps and various facility information. , A communication device 16 having a mobile phone function for communicating with the computer 15 of the map distribution center Y, road map information and A display unit 17 (display) for visually displaying place name information and the like and a speaker 18 are connected.
[0020]
  The above-described CPU 10 drives the communication device 16, the display unit 17, and the speaker 18 in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 19 based on necessary inputs from the positioning sensor 11, the memory 12, the switch 13, the microphone 14, and the communication device 16. The RAM 20 stores necessary data such as unique identification code data for specifying the mobile CPU 10.
  This identification code is,It is used to specify the mobile terminal X when downloading data from the computer 15 of the map distribution center Y.
[0021]
  Also,The computer 15 of the map distribution center Y described above includes a ROM, a CPU, a RAM, and a memory, in which road map information and various facility information are stored so as to be up-to-date and updatable.
  Next, the information display method will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
[0022]
  First, referring to the flowchart of FIG.,Processing on the map distribution center Y side will be described.
  In step Q1,Map distributionThe CPU in the center Y determines whether or not there is a download request from the mobile terminal X, and returns when determining NO, while moving to the next step Q2 when determining YES.
[0023]
  In step Q2, the CPU reads information requested by the mobile terminal X (that is, the latest road map data and various facility data) from the memory, and transmits the information to the mobile terminal X.
[0024]
  Next, processing on the mobile terminal X side will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
  In step S1, the CPU 10 measures the current position A (see FIG. 4) based on the input from the positioning sensor 11.
[0025]
  Next, in step S <b> 2, the CPU 10 reads a map around the current position A that has been measured from the memory 12.
  Next, in step S3, the CPU 10 determines the presence or absence of the surrounding map or the level of reliability. When the surrounding map is present or when the reliability is large (YES determination), the process proceeds to step S4, while there is no surrounding map. Or when the reliability is low (NO determination), the process proceeds to another step S5. The determination of the reliability of the map can be made based on the passage of day / time.
[0026]
  In step S4 described above, the CPU 10 controls the display unit 17 to display the surrounding map together with the current position A (see FIG. 4).
  FIG. 4 shows an example of the display in step S4, and a surrounding map and the current position A of the moving body (refer to the vehicle) are displayed on the display screen 17a of the display unit 17.
[0027]
  On the other hand, in step S5, the CPU 10 downloads the latest map information from the map distribution center Y in correspondence with no surrounding map or low reliability of the read map.
  In step S6, the CPU 10 controls the display unit 17 to display the downloaded map together with the current position A. The display contents in this case are also the same as in FIG.
[0028]
  After the above step S4 or step S6 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S7.
  In step S7, the occupant operates the switch 13 to input an operation from the current position A to the destination B (see FIG. 6), an input operation of the route guidance path, a time to arrive at the destination B, or to the destination B. When the required time is input, destination setting, route guidance path setting, arrival time (or required time) setting is performed, and the setting contents are stored in the RAM 20.
[0029]
  Next, in step S8, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the destination has been set. When NO is determined, the CPU 10 skips to step S17, but when YES is determined, proceeds to the next step S9.
[0030]
  In step S9, when the occupant operates the switch 13 to input the search condition and the search area setting condition, the search condition setting and the search area setting condition are set.
[0031]
  Here, the search condition is a condition as to how many km around the route on which the host vehicle as a moving body travels (moves) is searched, and the search area setting condition is a sub-screen 17b (see FIG. 7), the location name is displayed including the non-major location name from the current position A to how many kilometers, and only the major location name is displayed after how many kilometers from the current position A. The contents are stored in the RAM 20.
[0032]
  Next, in step S10, the CPU 10 reads the route guidance path C from the current position A to the destination B and displays it on the map on the display screen 17a. 5 and 6 show an example of the display contents in step S10, and the route guide path C (shown by a bold line for convenience of illustration) is displayed as shown in FIG. 5 on the same peripheral map as FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the current position A and the destination B are displayed together with the route guidance path C so as to appear in a single display screen 17a.
[0033]
  Here, the display form of FIG. 5 and the display form of FIG. 6 by the display unit 17 may be configured to be alternately displayed every few seconds (every predetermined time), and after the predetermined time has elapsed from the display form of FIG. 5 may be configured to return to the display mode of FIG. 5, or the display mode of FIG. 5 and the display mode of FIG.
[0034]
  Next, in step S11, the CPU 10 creates a sub screen 17b (see FIG. 7) corresponding to the current position A, the destination B, and the search area setting condition, and displays the sub screen 17b on the display unit 17.
[0035]
  This sub screen 17b,As shown as an example in FIG. 7, a place name display area E2 for displaying place names is divided and set below the map display area E1 for displaying at least a part of the map from the current position A to the destination B. The area E2 is used as the sub screen 17b. In this embodiment, the screen is divided into upper and lower parts, but it goes without saying that the screen may be divided into right and left parts.
[0036]
  As shown in FIG. 7, the main screen names between the current position A and the destination B are displayed in order on the sub-screen 17b described above. 22 includes a non-major place name (such as a local town / village name), and only a major place name (for example, a major city name) is displayed at a point far from the current position A. , 22, at least one place name on the side opposite to the destination B from the current position A is displayed. In FIG. 7, D indicates the place name of the departure place.
[0037]
  In addition, corresponding to the names of each place on the sub-screen 17b in FIG. 7, at this time (the time of processing in step S11), the sights, specialties and special products of each place may be displayed in advance in characters and figures. In addition, the circles in FIG. 7 corresponding to the names of places have icon functions. Furthermore, the display contents of the map display area E1 and the place name display area E2 shown in FIG. 7 are sequentially scrolled as the moving body moves (see FIGS. 7, 16, and 12).
[0038]
  Next, in step S12, the CPU 10 determines whether or not there has been a facility search operation by operating the occupant icon 23 (see each circle in FIG. 7). If NO is determined, the process skips to step S17. The process proceeds to step S13.
[0039]
  In step S13, the CPU 10 controls the display unit 17 to switch the map display area E1 from the display of the surrounding map shown in FIG. 7 to the search genre selection screen 17c as shown in FIG. 8, and to display the place name display sub-screen 17b. In addition, icons J1 to J11 corresponding to each genre are displayed so as to be selectable.
[0040]
  For example,When the icon 23 corresponding to Okayama city is operated in step S12 described above, in this step S13, a search menu around Okayama city is displayed so as to be selectable by the icons J1 to J11 as shown in FIG.
  Each of the icons J1 to J11 described above is configured to display a sub-genre or a lower genre when operated (when a genre is selected).
[0041]
  The sub-genre by each icon J1-J11 is illustrated below.
  Specialties ... Peach, Muscat, Festival Sushi
  Sightseeing ... Korakuen, Okayama Castle, hot spring
  Eat ... Japanese, Chinese, Italian, French and other restaurants
  Stay ... hotels, pensions, inns
  Amusement facilities such as movie theaters and pachinko parlors
  Sports ... Sports facilities, sports shops
  Shopping… Supermarket, convenience store, department store, souvenir shop, boutique, jewelry shop
  Transportation ... Station, airport, ferry port
  Gasoline ... Gas station
  Emergency… Police, hospital, dealer, road service.
[0042]
  Next, in step S14, after selecting the genre by the icons J1 to J11 and selecting the subgenre, the CPU 10 corrects the area displayed on the sub screen 17b in accordance with the search area setting condition and the number of search conditions. . For example, correction is performed so that the place name where the genre-selected facility is located is displayed.
[0043]
  Next, in step S15, the CPU 10 calculates the number of search conditions after selecting the genre, and displays the number of searches on the sub-screen 17b of the display unit 17. For example,If Okayama peach is selected by icon J1,,As shown in FIG. 9, the number of searches is displayed.
[0044]
  Next, in step S <b> 16, the CPU 10 executes facility display of the selected search genre corresponding to the input condition and the search condition. For example,When the peach of Okayama is selected by the icon J1, a peach sales store or a store (facility) where the peach can be eaten is displayed on the road map on the display screen 17a of the display unit 17 on the road map.otherVisible display in figure, but when the arrival time or required time margin for destination B is large,As shown in FIG. 10, when a large number of facilities existing in a relatively wide area from the route guidance path C are displayed and the margin is small,,As shown in FIG. 11, a small number of facilities present in a relatively narrow range from the route guidance path C are displayed.
[0045]
  In this embodiment, the peach marks shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 have functions as icons m1, m2, m3, m4, and m5, respectively.
  Next, the process proceeds to step S17. In this step S17, the CPU 10 executes another navigation control.,For example, when the icon m2 in FIG. 10 is operated, a route that is short in terms of distance and time is selected for the facility selected from the current position A with the icon m2 in consideration of traffic information such as traffic congestion, and route guidance is performed. When moving from the facility corresponding to the icon m2 toward the destination B again, there is a traffic jam from the facility to the destination B.DoIn consideration of the traffic information, a short route in terms of distance and time is selected and route guidance is performed.
[0046]
  On the other hand, the moving body travels (moves) toward the destination B, and this moving body,For example, when the vicinity of Hamamatsu is reached, if “genre of Hamamatsu” is selected in the above-described step S13, the CPU 10 is displayed on the sub-screen 17b corresponding to the search area setting condition and the number of searches in the next step S14. After correcting the area, the CPU 10 calculates the number of searches after selecting a genre in the next step S15.ShiAs shown in FIG. 12, the number of search items is displayed on the sub-screen 17b of the display unit 17.
[0047]
  Next, in step S16, the CPU 10 executes facility display of the selected search genre with respect to the condition and search condition input by the operation. In this case, a store (facility) where “eel rice cake” can be eaten is visually displayed on the road map on the road map as characters, marks, patterns or other figures on the display screen 17a. If the time margin is large,As shown in FIG. 13, a large number of facilities existing in a relatively wide area from the route guidance path C are displayed.,As shown in FIG. 14, a small number of facilities existing in a relatively narrow range from the route guidance path C are displayed.
[0048]
  In this embodiment, the “eel” marks shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 have functions as icons n1 to n7, respectively.
  Next, the process proceeds to step S17. In this step S17, the CPU 10 executes another navigation control.,For example, when the icon n1 in FIG. 13 is operated, a route that is short in terms of distance and time is selected from the current position A with respect to the facility selected by the icon n1 in consideration of traffic information such as traffic congestion. When moving from the facility corresponding to the icon n1 toward the destination B again, there is a traffic jam from the facility to the destination B.DoIn consideration of the traffic information, a short route in terms of distance and time is selected and route guidance is performed.
[0049]
  Thus, the information display method of the embodiment shown in FIGS.Step S7 for setting the current position and destination,Current location A to destination BThe route toSetting step S7;Associated with the route,A step S11 for displaying main place names between the current position A and the destination B in order;, SpecialStep S13 for displaying a specific search genre in a selectable manner andSelected as a place nameSearch GenreAnd based onFacilitySearch step S15 and the searched facilityStep S16 for performing display.
