  In addition to the above, the processing unit 10 uses, for example, the contents of the operation performed in the operation unit 16, the position data output from the sensor unit 17, the map data recorded in the recording unit 15, and the like. While displaying a necessary map or the like on the display D, the guidance processing according to the embodiment is executed.

  Next, the control table T according to the embodiment recorded in the recording unit 15 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  As the control table T according to the embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 3, for example, the hobby relevance degree table T1, the destination relevance degree table T2 and the destination relevance degree table T3 are recorded in the recording unit 15 in a nonvolatile manner. It is done. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the hobby relevance degree table T1 is displayed by the user's hobbies or preferences of the navigation device NV according to the embodiment, the icon predicted to be displayed on the display D, etc. It is a control table which defines the content on the information regarding the content, the preset degree of association between them, and the size on the display screen of the display D such as an icon corresponding to the degree of association. Here, the "size of the icon or the like" means, in addition to the size of the so-called icon used when displaying the information related to the content on the display screen, the information related to the content in part on the display screen It includes the size of the so-called display window when displaying on. On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the destination relevance table T2 is displayed by the destination of the guidance processing by the navigation device NV according to the embodiment, the icon predicted to be displayed on the display D, etc. It is a control table which defines the content on the information regarding the content, the preset degree of association between them, and the size on the display screen of the display D such as an icon corresponding to the degree of association. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the destination related degree table T3 is in advance between the destination and the birthplace of the creator of the content displayed by the icon or the like expected to be displayed on the display D. It is a control table which defines the set degree of association and the size on the display screen of display D, such as an icon corresponding to the degree of association. As the control table T, a control table T having contents defined in advance may be recorded in the recording unit 15, and the user may define each time using, for example, the operation unit 16 and newly define the control table T. The attached information may be recorded in the recording unit 15 in a non-volatile manner as the control table T.

  Next, display control according to an embodiment centering on the processing unit 10 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. Display control according to the embodiment is started, for example, by the user's instruction using the operation unit 16 or at predetermined intervals as so-called interrupt processing.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4 of the corresponding flowchart, when the display control according to the embodiment is started, the processing unit 10 first acquires user related information related to the user, for example, via the interface 1 (step S1). ). The user-related information acquired in step S1 is, for example, information indicating the hobbies or preferences of the above-mentioned user who uses the navigation device NV, if the control table T illustrated in FIG. There may be mentioned position information indicating a destination to be reached under guidance processing by the NV, position information indicating the current position as the guidance processing, and the like.

  Next, the analysis unit 11 of the processing unit 10 analyzes the content of the information related to the content displayed by one or a plurality of icons or the like that can be displayed on the display D at that time corresponding to the user related information acquired in step S1. (Step S2).

  Here, for example, navigation content indicating a destination of guidance processing being executed in the navigation apparatus NV, a navigation position indicating a joining position in the case where there are merging passengers, etc. and listening at that time are generally recommended. Recommended song content indicating the song being played (so-called "recommended song"), AV (Audio Visual) content indicating the song title etc. of the song currently being played by the music playback unit (not shown) of the navigation device NV It is assumed that news content indicating the latest news and date content indicating the date can be obtained through the interface 1 respectively. In this case, the analysis unit 11 displays a navigation content display area 21 for displaying the navigation content, and the recommended content, as exemplified in FIG. 5A on the display screen displayed on the display D at that time. Content display area 22 for displaying information related to the AV content, an AV content display area 23 for displaying information related to the AV content, a news display area 24 for displaying information related to the news content, and the date content And the date content display area 25 for displaying information related to.

  Then, the determination unit 12 of the processing unit 10 refers to the control table T based on the analysis result in step S2, and displays the user related information acquired in step S1 and the display DNO display screen at that time. The degree of association between the information related to the content displayed by a possible icon or the like is determined (step S3). For example, by referring to the control table T as this step S3, the degree of association is determined to be higher for the content matching the user's taste or preference (see the taste association degree table T1 in FIG. 3), and The degree of association of contents corresponding to the destination to which the user moves is also determined high (see the destination association degree table T2 in FIG. 3), and the contents created by the author corresponding to the destination to which the user moves The degree of association is determined to be high (refer to FIG. 3 destination association degree table T3). On the other hand, with regard to content that does not match the user's hobbies or preferences, the degree of association is determined to be lower, and it corresponds to events held at points unrelated to the destination where the user moves For content, the degree of association is determined to be lower.

  Thereby, the change display unit 2 of the processing unit 10 refers to the control table T based on the degree of association determined in step S3, and displays the display D such as an icon for displaying information on the content having the determined degree of association. The size of the display area on the display screen is changed from the original size and displayed on the display D (step S4). At this time, when step S4 is performed while the map for guidance processing is displayed as step S4, it is preferable to execute step S4 with the map as a background (see FIG. 5). Then, specifically as the step S4, for example, when the display screen illustrated in FIG. 5A is displayed on the display D together with the clock display 20, for example, the user is approaching the destination, When the performance where the recommended content displayed in the recommended content display area 22 is played at or near the destination is performed (for example, “ASO ROCK” illustrated in FIG. 5), the change display unit 2 The area within the display screen of each of the navigation content display area 21 and the AV content display area 23 (in other words, the occupancy ratio of the display D to the entire display screen; the same applies hereinafter) is also narrowed by both New display screen illustrated in FIG. 5B by enlarging the area in the display screen of the content display area 22 And displays with clock display 20 to display D.

  At this time, the change display unit 2 displays the display area for displaying the information related to the content, etc., which needs to be continuously displayed regardless of the user approaching the destination. The area in the screen continues to be displayed as unchanged. Here, in the above example, “the icon etc. for displaying information related to the content that needs to be displayed regardless of approaching the destination” is the above-mentioned news content when it is exemplified in FIG. And a date content display area 25 for displaying information on the date content. Therefore, in the step S4, the area in the display screen of the news content display area 24 and the date content display area 25 for displaying these is continuously displayed on the display D as unchanged. In step S4, the change display unit 2 changes the positions of the respective display areas in the display screen according to, for example, the same method as in the related art, along with the change of the area in the display screen of each display area. Make sure that there is no space on the display screen.

  After that, the processing unit 10 determines whether or not to end the display control according to the embodiment, for example, because the vehicle equipped with the navigation device NV has reached the destination (step S5). When the display control is ended in the determination of step S5 (step S5; YES), the processing unit 10 ends the display control as it is. On the other hand, when the display control is continued in the determination of step S5 (step S5; NO), the processing unit 10 returns to step S1 and continues the series of display control described above.

  As described above, according to the display control according to the embodiment, the size of the display area such as the icon when displaying the information related to the content to be noticed by the user of the navigation device NV is the user related to the user Since the information is changed and displayed corresponding to the related information, the information related to the content can be displayed by the display area of the size corresponding to the user's taste / taste etc., and the convenience of the user regarding the content is improved. Can.

  Further, when the size of the display area is changed in correspondence with the information acquired from the external network, the information on the content can be displayed in the display area corresponding to the external information and the user, The convenience of the user regarding the content can be further improved.

  Further, the degree of association between the user related information and the information related to the content is determined, the size of the display area is changed based on the determined degree of association, and an icon etc. displaying the information related to the content is displayed. It is possible to objectively judge and effectively display the content to which the user should be focused.

  Furthermore, the degree of association between the user related information and the information from the external network, and the information on the content is determined, and the area of the display area is changed based on the determined degree of association to obtain the information on the content In the case of displaying an icon or the like to be displayed, it is possible to objectively judge and effectively display information related to the content to be noticed by the user after taking into consideration the information from the outside.

  In addition, since the size of the display area is largely changed and the icon or the like for displaying information on the content is displayed as the determined degree of association is higher, the display area is By enlarging the information, the information on the content can be displayed in a more easily viewable state. On the other hand, when displaying the icon etc. which changes the size of a display area small and displays the information regarding a content, so that the determined degree of association is low, the icon etc etc which display the information regarding a content with a low degree of association By making the display area smaller, it is possible to display the information in a state where it is possible to prevent attention to information on the content.

Furthermore, since the user-related information is at least one of information indicating the user's taste or preference, information indicating the current position of the user, or information indicating the destination of the movement of the user, By determining the degree of association with the information or the like to be shown, the convenience of the user regarding the content can be further improved.
