The transmission application is an application that transmits information to the navigation device 12. The transmission information is information that the transmission application transmits to the navigation device 12. The transmission information is also information that the navigation device 12 uses for navigation. The transmission information stored in the storage unit 111 is information transmitted by one or more transmission applications stored in the storage unit 111.

  The transmission application is executed by an application execution unit 114 described later. The “execution” may be “activation”, for example. And a transmission application transmits transmission information to the navigation apparatus 12 by being performed. At this time, for example, the transmission application may transmit one type of transmission information, or may transmit two or more types of transmission information. The transmission application is an application having only a function of transmitting transmission information to the navigation device 12, for example. Further, the transmission application may be, for example, a so-called navigation application, a so-called map application, an application for searching for a point such as a store, or the like.

Moreover, it can be said that point information is the information regarding the point on a map, for example. The map update information is information used for updating map information. Moreover, it can be said that map update information is the information for updating map information, for example.

  The point information includes, for example, information indicating the position of the point. Further, the point information may include, for example, information for identifying the point, information indicating the type of the point, and the like. The information for identifying the point is, for example, information indicating the name of the point, information indicating the address of the point, a telephone number of the point, an ID of the point, and the like. Moreover, the kind of point is not ask | required. The types of points include, for example, an intersection, a parking lot, a rest area, a tourist attraction, a station, a store such as a restaurant, and a destination desired by the user.

  Further, for example, when the point information indicates a destination, the point information is destination information that is information indicating the destination. For example, when point information shows a parking lot, the said point information is parking lot information which is the information which shows a parking lot. Further, for example, when the point information indicates a point (for example, a gas station) where the fuel of the mobile body is replenished, the point information is fuel replenishment point information that is information indicating the fuel replenishment point.

  Hereinafter, the information indicating the position is appropriately referred to as position information. The position indicated by the position information is usually longitude and latitude. The position may be coordinates on a map, for example. Further, the position may include, for example, a height (altitude).

  Moreover, map update information is what is called a difference of map information, for example. Here, the map information is information related to the map. Moreover, the kind of map shown by map information, the data format of map information, etc. are not ask | required. The types of the maps are, for example, topographic maps, topographic maps, geological maps, land use maps, housing maps, route maps, road maps, guide maps, aerial photographs, satellite photographs, and the like. The data format is, for example, raster data, vector data, KIWI format, or the like.

  Further, the map information has, for example, one or more pieces of point information. The map information includes, for example, one or more road information. Road information is information about roads on a map. The road on the map is usually a section constituting the road on the map (hereinafter referred to as a road section as appropriate). The road information includes, for example, information for identifying a road, information indicating the type of road, information indicating positions of both ends of the road, and the like. The information for identifying the road is usually information indicating the name of the road. The information for identifying the road may be, for example, a road ID. The road information includes, for example, information indicating a road score, the number of lanes of the road, the traveling direction of the road, and the like. The score is usually a cost used for route search.

  As described above, the point update information is information including point information, road information, and the like. The point information is information indicating, for example, a newly created point or a deleted point. The road information is information indicating a newly created road, a deleted road, or the like, for example. In addition, the point information, road information, and the like may be associated with information indicating that it has been newly created or deleted, for example. The information is a so-called flag.

  Further, the map update information is information that is normally used for updating a part of the map information. Further, the map update information may be information used for updating all of the map information, for example.

  Also, a transmission application is usually associated with one or more types of transmission information transmitted by the transmission application. The method and method for the association are not limited. The “corresponding” means that, for example, a correspondence table of information for identifying the transmission application and information for identifying the transmission information is stored in the storage unit 111. Further, the “corresponding” means that, for example, a storage area (for example, a folder) used by the transmission application is determined in advance, and transmission information is stored in the storage area. For example, when the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is not stored in the storage unit 111, the transmission information is not associated with the transmission application.

  In addition, the process in which transmission information is accumulate | stored in the storage part 111 is not ask | required. The storage unit 111 stores transmission information via an input device, a communication line, a recording medium, and the like. Further, the transmission information is stored by, for example, a storage unit (not shown).

  For example, when the transmission information stored in the storage unit 111 is two point information, the two point information includes, for example, information indicating the order of arrival (hereinafter, referred to as order information as appropriate). May be supported. The order information includes, for example, a flag indicating which point the destination is reached first, a flag indicating which point the destination is reached later, and a numerical value indicating the order of arrival.

  Further, the order information associated with the two pieces of point information is usually information input by the user. The order information associated with the two pieces of point information is, for example, information associated with the point information input to the two input fields having the order according to the order of the input fields. Also good. For example, it is assumed that point information is input to two input fields for inputting point information (hereinafter referred to as field A and field B as appropriate). Further, it is assumed that the order of the two input fields is the order of field A and field B. In such a case, the point information input in the field A is associated with, for example, a flag indicating that the destination is reached first. In addition, for example, a flag indicating that the information will be reached later is associated with the information input in the field B.

  The execution determination unit 112 determines whether the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. The execution condition is a condition related to executing the transmission application. The execution condition is a condition related to the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12, for example. In addition, the determination as to whether or not the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition is hereinafter referred to as an execution determination as appropriate.

  The execution condition is that communication between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is normally established. The establishment of communication means that, for example, the communication state between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 has changed from a communication disabled state to a communication enabled state. The execution condition may be, for example, that the mobile terminal 11 has received information transmitted by the navigation device 12. The information is, for example, a so-called beacon signal. That is, the execution condition is, for example, that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is close enough to satisfy a predetermined condition, and the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is communicable. It can be said that this is the case.

  For example, the execution determination unit 112 acquires the communication state between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12. The acquisition of the communication state specifically refers to acquiring information indicating the communication state. Then, the execution determination unit 112 determines whether or not the acquired communication state has become a communicable state from a state incapable of communication. This determination is a determination as to whether or not communication has been established. When the communication state changes from the communication disabled state to the communication enabled state, the execution determining unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. When the communication state is a state where communication is not possible, the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 does not satisfy the execution condition.

  For example, the execution determination unit 112 determines whether or not a reception unit (not shown) has received information transmitted from the navigation device 12. When received, the execution determining unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. If not received, the execution determining unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 does not satisfy the execution condition.

  In addition, the execution determination unit 112 performs execution determination periodically (every time a predetermined period elapses), for example.

  In addition, the execution determination unit 112 may acquire information indicating a result of determining whether or not the execution condition is satisfied, for example. This information is usually a so-called flag.

  In addition, in one device (here, the mobile terminal 11), a method or procedure for determining whether or not communication with another device (here, the navigation device 12) has been established, and the one device (here) In the portable terminal 11), since a method and a procedure for determining whether or not information transmitted from another device (in this case, the navigation device 12) is received are well known, detailed description is omitted. To do.

  The transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines whether transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is stored in the storage unit 111. Hereinafter, this determination is appropriately referred to as transmission information determination. For example, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines whether transmission information is associated with a transmission application executed by the application execution unit 114 described later. If the transmission information is associated, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines that the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is stored in the storage unit 111. If there is no correspondence, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines that the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is not stored in the storage unit 111.

  In addition, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 may perform transmission information presence / absence determination when the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition, for example. .

  Also, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 may acquire information indicating a result of determining whether or not transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is stored in the storage unit 111, for example. This information is usually a so-called flag.

  The application execution unit 114 executes the transmission application when the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship satisfies the execution condition. The transmission application is a transmission application stored in the storage unit 111. In addition, the transmission application is usually determined in advance. In addition, the transmission application may be, for example, one transmission application selected by the user from one or more transmission applications stored in the storage unit 111. In this case, for example, the application execution unit 114 outputs a user interface for selecting one transmission application from one or more transmission applications. For example, the application execution unit 114 holds the user interface in advance. Then, the application execution unit 114 receives an application selection instruction from the user via the user interface. The application selection instruction is an instruction to select a transmission application. Then, the application execution unit 114 executes the transmission application selected by the application selection instruction.

  Note that acceptance means acquisition of information input from an input device such as a touch panel or a keyboard, reading of information stored in a recording medium such as an optical disk, magnetic disk, or semiconductor memory, or via a wired or wireless communication line. It is a concept that includes reception of information transmitted in the same manner.

  For example, the application execution unit 114 determines that the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship satisfies the execution condition, and the transmission information presence determination unit 113 determines that the transmission information is stored in the storage unit 111. In this case, the transmission application may be executed.

  In addition, the transmission application executed by the application execution unit 114 transmits predetermined transmission information to the navigation device 12. The predetermined transmission information is transmission information stored in the storage unit 111, and is one or more types of transmission information associated with itself (transmission application). Further, transmission information transmitted by the transmission application executed by the application execution unit 114 is normally performed by the transmission unit 115 described later. That is, the application execution unit 114 interprets the program code (command) of the transmission application and performs processing according to the interpretation result. Then, for example, when the program code is a command for transmitting transmission information, the application execution unit 114 indicates that the transmission information associated with the transmission program being executed is transmitted to the navigation device 12 according to the command. An instruction is given to a transmission unit 115 described later. Hereinafter, this instruction is appropriately referred to as a transmission information transmission instruction.

  The transmission unit 115 transmits one or more types of transmission information to the navigation device 12. Specifically, according to the transmission information transmission instruction from the application execution unit 114, the transmission unit 115 transmits the transmission information specified by the instruction.

  For example, the transmission information transmission instruction includes transmission information to be transmitted. In this case, the transmission unit 115 transmits the transmission information to the navigation device 12.

  For example, the transmission information transmission instruction includes information for identifying transmission information to be transmitted. In this case, the transmission unit 115 acquires transmission information identified by the information from the storage unit 111. Then, the transmission unit 115 transmits the acquired transmission information to the navigation device 12.

  Moreover, the transmission part 115 may transmit transmission information according to the instruction | indication from a user, for example. In this case, for example, the transmission unit 115 outputs a user interface for selecting whether to permit transmission of transmission information before transmitting transmission information in accordance with a transmission information transmission instruction from the application execution unit 114. . For example, the transmission unit 115 holds the user interface in advance. Then, the transmission unit 115 receives a transmission permission instruction or a transmission non-permission instruction from the user via the user interface. The transmission permission instruction is an instruction that permits transmission of transmission information. The transmission non-permission instruction is an instruction that does not permit transmission of transmission information. For example, when the transmission unit 115 receives a transmission permission instruction, the transmission unit 115 transmits the transmission information. For example, when the transmission unit 115 receives a transmission non-permission instruction, the transmission unit 115 does not transmit the transmission instruction.

  Further, for example, when the transmission information is two pieces of spot information, the sending unit 115 may, for example, associate the order information with the two spot information and send it to the navigation device 12. In this case, for example, the transmission unit 115 outputs a user interface for inputting order information before transmitting the two pieces of point information. For example, the transmission unit 115 holds the user interface in advance. And the transmission part 115 receives order information from a user via the said user interface. Then, the transmission unit 115 associates the received order information and transmits the two pieces of spot information. When the order information is already associated with the two pieces of spot information, the transmission unit 115 transmits the two pieces of spot information together with the associated order information.

  In addition, the transmission unit 115 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication unit, but may be realized by a broadcasting unit.

  The navigation map information storage unit 121 stores map information.

  The navigation receiving unit 122 receives one or more types of transmission information from the mobile terminal 11. The navigation receiving unit 122 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast.

  The navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 acquires current position information. The current position information is information indicating the current position. Further, the current position is the current position of the navigation device 12. In addition, the current position is also the current position of the mobile body on which the navigation device 12 is installed, for example. In addition, the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 acquires the current position information periodically (every time a predetermined period elapses), for example. In addition, the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 acquires current position information each time an instruction is given, for example. The instruction is, for example, an instruction from a user, an instruction from a navigation processing unit 124 described later, or the like.

  The navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 usually acquires current position information from a satellite navigation system (such as a GPS receiver) or a device that receives position information from a base station for mobile communication. In this case, the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 may have these devices or may be realized by these devices. Further, the processing procedure of the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM.

  The navigation processing unit 124 performs processing according to the transmission information. The transmission information is one or more types of transmission information received by the navigation receiving unit 122. Further, the processing is, for example, acquisition of information, update of information, and the like.

  For example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives point information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires route information indicating a route from the current position to the point indicated by the point information, for example. Specifically, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information, the current position information, and the point information to search for a route from the current position indicated by the current position information to the point indicated by the point information. The map information is map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. The current position information is current position information acquired by the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123. Then, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires route information that is information indicating the route. The route information includes, for example, one or more pieces of position information indicating a position through which the route passes. Further, the route information includes, for example, road information indicating a road connecting the one or more positions.

  In order to search for a route, a solution (algorithm) for the shortest route problem is usually used. “Solving the shortest path problem” is, for example, the Dijkstra method or the A * algorithm. Since these solutions are well-known, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, since the method and procedure for acquiring the route information are well known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  For example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives the spot information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires, for example, map information indicating a map including the spot indicated by the spot information. Hereinafter, the acquired map information is appropriately referred to as output map information. Specifically, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information and the point information, and outputs output map information indicating a map of a predetermined region including the point, with the point indicated by the point information approximately as the center. get. The map information is map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. That is, it can be said that the output map information is, for example, map information indicating a part of the map indicated by the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. Note that map information (here, output map information) indicating a part of the map indicated by the map information is acquired from one map information (here, the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121). Since methods and procedures are well known, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  For example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives two pieces of spot information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires route information and output map information, for example. In this case, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information, the current position information, and one of the two pieces of point information to detect the point indicated by the point information from the current position indicated by the current position information. A route up to is searched, and route information indicating the route is acquired. In addition, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information and the other point information of the two pieces of point information to output output map information indicating a map including the point indicated by the point information, to the navigation map information storage unit 121. Get from. In this case, the two pieces of point information are preferably destination information and parking lot information, for example. And it is suitable for the navigation process part 124 to acquire the said route information, for example using the said destination information. Moreover, it is suitable for the navigation process part 124 to acquire the said output map information, for example using the said parking lot information. The parking lot information is preferably information indicating a parking lot near the destination indicated by the destination information, for example.

  For example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives two pieces of point information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires only route information, for example. In this case, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information, the current position information, and the two point information to determine whether one of the two pieces of point information is present from the current position indicated by the current position information. A route to the point indicated by the other point information of the two point information via the indicated point is searched, and route information indicating the route is acquired. In this case, the two pieces of point information are preferably destination information and parking lot information, for example. Then, for example, the navigation processing unit 124 preferably acquires route information indicating a route from the current position to the parking lot indicated by the parking lot information via the point indicated by the destination information. The parking lot information is preferably information indicating a parking lot near the destination indicated by the destination information, for example.

  When acquiring the route information and the output map information, the navigation processing unit 124 may acquire the route information and the output map information based on the order information associated with the two pieces of spot information, for example. Good. That is, in this case, for example, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires route information indicating a route whose destination is the point indicated by the point information, using the point information indicated to be visited first by the order information. . For example, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires output map information indicating a map including a point indicated by the point information indicated to be visited later by the order information.

In other words, in this case, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the order information to route through the point indicated by the point information indicated to be visited first, and the route indicated by the point information indicated to be visited later The route information indicating is acquired.

  In addition, acquisition of route information indicating the route from the current position to the parking lot indicated by the parking lot information via the point indicated by the destination information is obtained, for example, after the family has got off at the destination. This is useful when going to the parking lot.

  For example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives the map update information, the navigation processing unit 124 updates the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121 using the map update information. For example, when the map update information includes point information indicating a newly created point, the navigation processing unit 124 adds the point information to the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. For example, when the map update information includes point information indicating the deleted point, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the same point information as the point information from the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. Is deleted. For example, when the map update information includes road information indicating a newly created road, the navigation processing unit 124 adds the road information to the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. . For example, when the map update information includes road information indicating the deleted road, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the same road information as the road information from the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. Is deleted.

In addition, the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121 is updated using the map update information.

  The navigation output unit 125 outputs the information acquired by the navigation processing unit 124.

  For example, when the navigation processing unit 124 acquires route information, the navigation output unit 125 outputs the route information. At this time, for example, the navigation output unit 125 outputs the route indicated by the route information together with the map information so that the route is displayed on the map. The map information is map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121.

  For example, when the navigation processing unit 124 acquires the output map information, the navigation output unit 125 outputs the output map information. At this time, for example, the navigation output unit 125 outputs the output map information so that the spot indicated by the spot information used for acquiring the output map information is displayed on the map indicated by the output map information. For example, the navigation output unit 125 outputs an icon at a position corresponding to the point on the map.

  An icon represents a pattern, a pattern, a symbol, a character, or the like. The icon is usually a so-called image, but the format of the image is not limited. That is, the image may be raster data, vector data, or other data. The icon may have one or more pieces of attribute information indicating the icon attributes. The attribute is, for example, color, size, shape, or the like. The icon may have an icon identifier for identifying the icon.

  Output refers to display on a display, projection using a projector, printing on a printer, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, delivery of processing results to another processing device or another program, etc. It is a concept that includes In addition, regarding transmission, accumulation, and delivery of processing results, an output target is finally presented to the user.

  The navigation output unit 125 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The navigation output unit 125 can be implemented by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device.

  The storage unit 111 and the navigation map information storage unit 121 are preferably non-volatile recording media, but can also be realized by volatile recording media. Further, the process of storing predetermined information in the storage unit 111 or the like does not matter. For example, the predetermined information may be stored in the storage unit 111 or the like via a recording medium, a communication line, an input device, or the like.

  In addition, the execution determination unit 112, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113, the application execution unit 114, and the navigation processing unit 124 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like.
