Yet existing on-vehicle navigation apparatus is corresponding with a variety of language such as English, French, German, prepares the offset pointer for desired all language, by selecting 1 character information of specifying actual use wherein.Yet under a lot of situations, for example road name etc. only is the employed language of this state in fact by the content of datumization.That is,, in fact need a lot of offset pointer although only store character information for 2 to 3 kinds of language.
In view of such present situation, embodiment 1 related map information processing device can be constructed as follows: promptly, as the corresponding character information of 1 multilingual, not the character information of preparing all language that to set, and only prepare and the employed some language corresponding characters information in region of using map information processing device in reality.At this moment,, also need to carry out certain demonstration etc.,, in language classification code table, store the default category code in order to realize this purpose for the user who uses the non-existent language of character information.
Fig. 5 is illustrated in above-mentioned such map information processing device that constitutes, obtains the process flow diagram of the processing of character information.In this is handled, at first check the language (step ST500) that whether stores appointment.That is, processor 15 checks whether store from the language of input media 11 appointments with reference to language classification code table in cartographic information storage device 12.
At this step ST500, if be judged as the language that stores appointment, then obtain language class code corresponding characters information (step ST501) with the language of appointment.That is, processor 15 obtains by the specified character information of the pairing offset pointer of language class code that is stored in language classification code table.
On the other hand, at step ST500,, then obtain and default category code corresponding characters information (step ST502) if be judged as the language of not storing appointment.That is, processor 15 obtains by the specified character information of the pairing offset pointer of default category code that is stored in language classification code table.
According to above such map information processing device that constitutes, because storage default category code in language classification code table, therefore can generate the language classification code table of regulation to the action of all language, and the quantity of offset pointer can be suppressed at bottom line, can cut down data volume as a whole.
Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram that is illustrated in the processing in the above-mentioned processing shown in Figure 5, this processing is the pairing character information of language class code that is stored in language classification code table in order to obtain, from storing the language classification code table of default category code, obtain the number storing of the language class code of appointed language.
In this is handled, at first obtain language class code (step ST601) from language classification code table.That is, processor 15 utilizes character information acquisition unit 22, obtains 1 language class code from language classification code table, and wherein, language classification code table obtains from cartographic information storage device 12.
Next, check the number official registration (step ST602) whether of the language class code of appointment.That is, processor 15 checks whether the number (expression stores the interior number of language classification code table of the position of language class code) from the pairing language class code of language of input media 11 appointments is registered.At this step ST602, if be judged as the number official registration of the language class code of appointment, then sequential advancement is to step ST607.
On the other hand, at above-mentioned steps ST602,, then next check whether be the language class code (step ST603) of the language of appointment if the number that is judged as the language class code of appointment is not an official registration.That is, processor 15 checks that the language class code that obtains at ST601 is whether consistent with the language class code from the language of input media 11 appointments.At this step ST603, if be judged as the language class code of the language that is appointment, the then number (step ST606) of the language class code of official registration appointment.Afterwards, sequential advancement is to step ST607.
At above-mentioned steps ST603,, then next check whether be the language class code (step ST604) of acquiescence if be judged as the language class code of the language that is not appointment.That is, processor 15 checks whether the language class code that obtains at step ST601 is the language class code of acquiescence.At this step ST604, if be judged as the language class code that is not acquiescence, then sequential advancement is to step ST607.
On the other hand, at step ST604,, then register the number (step ST605) of language class code if be judged as the language class code of the language that is acquiescence temporarily.That is, processor 15 interim registrations store the position (number in the language classification code table) of default category code.Afterwards, sequential advancement is to step ST607.
At step ST607, check whether the processing of the amount of language class code number finishes.At this step ST607, do not finish if be judged as the processing of the amount of language class code number, then order is returned step ST601, repeats above-mentioned processing.On the other hand, at step ST607, finish if be judged as the processing of the amount of language class code number, then output language number (step ST608).That is, if official registration, then export the number of official registration, if not official registration, the then number of the interim registration of output.From different language offset pointer tables, select the pairing offset pointer of number of this output, be used to obtain character information.
At this moment, the default category code can determine as described as follows.(1) establishes the fixed value of arbitrary decision.If the language corresponding with fixed value served as reasons and set up the language (for example general language etc.) of country that the map datum of getting in touch represents or the arbitrary decision of region institute with the character information of this multilingual character information this moment.(2) will be for setting up the pairing language class code of language (for example general language etc.) of country that the map datum of getting in touch represents or region decision, as the default category code with the character information of multilingual character information.(3) the additional priority of the order of the arrangement of language class code is judged the default category code.At this moment, can utilize the language quantity of procedure identification also can not use same database simultaneously.When comprising the language classification that can't utilize procedure identification, can reliably select the default category code in order to make, when the primary language class code of priority is the value of the unknown, obtain second later default category code.In view of the above, can append new language keeping under the state of the interchangeability of other programs.
Next, the storage means of descriptive language class code table.To multiple character information, prepare 1 language classification code table by gathering, suppress data volume.At this moment, to the small-scale character information group who is comprised among the character information group who gathers, further allow storage language classification code table, the language classification code table that each character information is set with reference to the management unit with minimum.
Fig. 7 is the concept map of the corresponding relation of each character information of expression and corresponding language classification code table.In regional A, there are area B 1 and area B 2, in area B 1, have zone C 1 and C2 respectively, in area B 2, have zone C 3 and C4.And, only respectively at regional A, B1, C1 and C4 definitional language classification table Ta, Tb1, Tc1 and Tc4.
Respectively exist a plurality of or respectively have 1 if the multilingual character information is recorded in C1 to C4.At this moment, the relation of the table corresponding with the data that belong to zone C 1, C2, C3, C4 is as follows.“C1→Tc1、C2→Tb1、C3→Ta、C4→Tc4”
Fig. 8 is the process flow diagram of the processing of expression decision language classification code table.In addition, following processing is carried out by processor 15.
In this was handled, at first obtaining became the multilingual of searching object character information record (step ST800).Next, set searching object (step ST801) at this multilingual character information record.That is, this multilingual character information record itself is set the searching object of language classification code table.
Next, check whether language classification code table (step ST802) is arranged in the data of searching object.At this step ST802, if be judged as language classification code table is arranged in the data of searching object, then obtain language classification code table (step ST806).That is, obtain the language classification code table of the management system that is stored in searching object.
On the other hand,, in the data of searching object, do not have language classification code table, check next then whether searching object is the superiors (step ST803) of management unit if be judged as at step ST802.That is, check whether current searching object is positioned at the upper of management system.At this step ST803,, then next generate set language classification code table (step ST805) if be judged as the superiors that searching object is a management unit.That is, owing to do not exist and language classification code table that this multilingual character information record is corresponding, so with the order production language class code table of the arrangement of set language.
At above-mentioned steps ST803,, then next searching object is set in last 1 management system (step ST804) if be judged as the superiors that searching object is not a management unit.Afterwards, order is returned step ST802.
As mentioned above, owing to, can make the other code table of class of languages general, freely set the language quantity of needs, so can suppress data volume by can free definition list in the zone of each data.
In addition, when language classification code table hierarchical was constituted, the table that is defined in lower floor can utilize the difference on upper strata to show and constitute.Fig. 9 is used to illustrate the figure that utilizes difference to come the example of definitional language class code table.Fig. 9 (a) is the language classification code table that is stored in the upper strata.Fig. 9 (b) is the difference language classification code table that is stored in its lower floor, the language classification that storage is removed for the language classification code table on upper strata.From the language classification code table shown in Fig. 9 (a) and Fig. 9 (b) as can be known, be suitable for the language classification code table shown in Fig. 9 (c) in lower region.Language classification code table shown in this Fig. 9 (c) generates on storer virtually and is used.
More than, the method for storage language classification code table has been described, but, also can had a corresponding language classification code table for the data of a part.At this moment, can be made as the arrangement of language of the acquiescence of regulation.
In the different language character information record, comprise sometimes and be used for the character information that shows in LCD monitor etc. and be used for employed pronunciation information such as sound guidance.At this moment, under present situation, be to store 1 display string and pronunciation information respectively and as 1 different language character information record.At this moment, the pronunciation information of each self-generating male sex sound and the pronunciation information of woman voice, for it being divided into different language, the language classification that is provided with is more than actual language number.At this moment, although content displayed is identical, display string is stored respectively, and management information such as offset pointer are also stored respectively.
Figure 10 represents the structure by the employed different language character information record of the related map information processing device of embodiments of the present invention 1.Different language character information record is made of string attribute, display string and a plurality of pronunciation information as character information, and having or not of pronunciation information is to be stored in the string attribute.
In said structure, the acoustic information of the pairing kind of sound that processor 15 will be switched by sound switching part 23 is sent to voice output 14b.In view of the above, export by the male sex of sound switching part 23 switchings or women's sound from voice output 14b.
According to this structure,, therefore can suppress data volume owing to can have data between the information of processing identical information on showing such as the sound of masculinity and femininity.In addition, in above-mentioned example, the situation of explanation is to use these two kinds of male sex's sound and woman voice, but as long as display string is identical, then use the situation of the different pronunciation information more than 3 kinds such as tone color, intonation or the rate of articulation, also can be by realizing with above-mentioned same method.
The map information processing device that embodiment 2. embodiments of the present invention 2 are related, be last by the related employed language classification of the map information processing device code table of embodiment 1, it is the language class code (below be called " terminal class code ") of terminal that processor 15 storages can be identified as.
The terminal class code can determine as described as follows.(1) establishes the fixed value of arbitrary decision.If the language corresponding with fixed value served as reasons and set up the language (for example general language etc.) of country that the map datum of getting in touch represents or the arbitrary decision of region institute with the character information of this multilingual character information this moment.(2) will set up the pairing language class code of language (for example general language etc.) of country that the map datum of getting in touch represents or region arbitrary decision with the character information of multilingual character information, as the terminal class code.(3) the default category code that embodiment 1 is illustrated is as the terminal class code.
Figure 11 is that the process flow diagram of terminal class code with reference to the processing of language classification code table used in expression.In this is handled, at first obtain language class code (step ST601) from language classification code table.Next, carry out appointed language determination processing (step ST110).The appointed language determination processing of carrying out at this step ST110 is identical with the processing of the ST602 to ST606 of Fig. 6.
Next, check whether the language class code that obtains at step ST601 is terminal class code (step ST111).At this step ST111, not the terminal class code if be judged as, then order is returned step ST601, repeats above-mentioned processing.On the other hand, at step ST111, be the terminal class code if be judged as, then finish with reference to language classification code table.
