Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the present invention is applied to a vehicle-mounted device that reproduces information distributed from the roadside apparatus 1.

  The town car life navigation system shown in FIG. 8 is one of push distribution systems, and is limited to a plurality of roadside wireless devices 1 called access points provided in a parking lot such as a gas station, a convenience store, or a restaurant. The area information is automatically distributed to the vehicle-mounted device (not shown) mounted on the automobile 2 existing in the area.

  Each roadside apparatus 1 is connected to a content distribution center 4 via a communication network 3, and the latest information for each access point is edited and distributed by the content distribution center 4.

  The information to be distributed is information closely related to the area, such as traffic information, information on nearby stores, advertisements, etc., such as service providers, information providers, reproduction conditions, expiration dates, provision times, target points, information provision points , Information on preference data and the like.

  Information related to the service provider includes a service code for identifying the service provider, a service provider display text for displaying the service provider name on the display device, and the service provider name by voice from the speaker. Service provider phonetic character string for output is included.

  Information related to the information providing company is provided by the company code, company display text for displaying the company name on the display device, company phonetic character string for outputting the company name by voice from the speaker, and the information providing company. Information display text to be displayed on the screen to select the content information to be displayed, information phonetic character string to be output by voice, what category the information is (for example, notification from the ward office, holiday doctor's notification, region Information, store information, etc.) is included. The preference data category is a bit layout in which whether or not the content corresponds to each of up to 96 categories previously classified by the service provider is displayed by 1 bit of “0” or “1”. .

The reproduction condition is used to distinguish whether the information is immediately reproduced when the information is received, accumulated and reproduced at a predetermined point, or reproduced according to a user operation.
The expiration date indicates the validity period of the content, and the provision time indicates the business hours or provision time of the content provider.

  The information about the target point includes target point coordinates indicating the latitude / longitude of the service target point, target point display text for displaying the name of the service target point (store name, etc.), and service contents. Display character data, still image display image data representing a service, phonetic character string data, compressed voice data, video data, and the like for outputting service contents by voice.

  Information about the information provision point relates to the point where the specified content is displayed in a pop-up, etc. Information provision center coordinates that specify the center of the point by latitude and longitude, information provision area that defines the radius from the center coordinate as an area, pop-up It includes display image data of a still image to be reproduced, phonetic character string data, compressed audio data, and the like. The information provision point can specify a plurality of points for one content.

  In the preference data, the content of the maximum 96-bit bit layout of the above-described preference data category is specifically classified, that is, each bit of 96 bits is associated with what category. Is indicated by a text and a phonetic character string. The preference data is classified into a major classification, a middle classification, and a minor classification, and a category code is assigned corresponding to the minor classification. This preference data is registered in a database in the vehicle-mounted device.

  Each roadside apparatus 1 transmits information distributed from the content distribution center 4 by DSRC in the 5.4 GHz band.

  On the other hand, the vehicle-mounted device receives the information transmitted from the roadside apparatus 1 by DSRC in the 5.4 GHz band, extracts the information of the genre registered in advance by the user, and temporarily stores the received information in the memory. It is played back when the vehicle-mounted device reaches the information provision point or when a search operation is performed by the user.

  For example, GPS (Global Positioning System: Global Positioning System) used in car navigation systems to automatically reproduce and output (pop-up display) when the vehicle 2 reaches the information provision point after accumulating information. System), etc., the GPS radio wave is received from the GPS satellite 5 and the current position information of the automobile 2 is acquired.

[First Embodiment]
This information providing apparatus is used as, for example, a vehicle-mounted device mounted on the automobile 2 in FIG. 8, and as shown in FIG. 1, a DSRC module 11, a GPS module 12, an operation unit 13, a preference data storage unit 14, It consists of a rejected company storage unit 15, a received data storage unit 16, a display unit 17, a control unit 18, and the like.

  The DSRC module 11 receives radio waves from the 5.4 GHz band DSRC from the roadside apparatus 1 and converts them into distribution information. The GPS module 12 receives a GPS radio wave transmitted from the GPS satellite 5 and converts it into latitude / longitude which is position information of the own vehicle. These position information and distribution information are supplied to the control unit 18.

  The operation unit 13 includes a hard key, a touch panel, a remote controller, and the like, and gives an instruction input from the user to the control unit 18.

  The preference data storage unit 14 sets in advance the genre of information that the user wants to receive. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the rejected company storage unit 15 stores a rejected company list such as a company name, a company code, and a service provider code that are rejected by the user. The service provider code is an identification code of an operator such as a content distribution center. The company name can be obtained from the company display text in the information related to the information providing company.

  Here, the reason why the service company code is included in the refusal company list is that the company code is given by the service company, so even if it is the same company, a different company code is given if the service company is different Because there is.

  The reception data storage unit 16 stores, as reception data, distribution information of companies that are registered in the preference data storage unit 14 and that are not registered in the rejected company list from the distribution information received by the DSRC module 11. To do.

  The preference data storage unit 14, the rejected company storage unit 15, and the received data storage unit 16 are accessed from the control unit 18. The display unit 17 displays received data edited by the control unit 18.

  The control unit 18 controls the entire information providing apparatus, and includes processing units such as an input processing unit 18a, an information storage processing unit 18b, a display processing unit 18c, and a rejected company changing unit 18d. The control unit 18 is generally composed of a computer including a processor and a memory, and the processor executes processing of each processing unit in accordance with a program stored in the memory.

  The input processing unit 18a inputs distribution information given from the DSRC module 11, position information given from the GPS module 12, and instruction input given from the operation unit 13, and performs processing according to each information. .

  The information accumulation processing unit 18b is the distribution information of companies that are registered in the preference data storage unit 14 and are not stored in the rejected company list in the rejected company storage unit 15 among the distribution information provided from the DSRC module 11. And the extracted distribution information is stored in the received data storage unit 16 as received data.

  When the current position information given from the GPS module 12 matches the information provision point of the reception data stored in the reception data storage unit 16, the display processing unit 18c edits the reception data and displays the display unit 17 Is output. In particular, in this display processing unit 18c, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the content information stored in the received data storage unit 16, the display of the distribution information of the company providing the content information is rejected. A rejection button (“Do not display information from here” button) is added and output.

  The rejected company changing unit 18d updates the company stored in the rejected company storage unit 15 as needed in accordance with an operation input from the operation unit 13. That is, when the reject button added to the content information output on the display unit 17 is pressed, the rejected company changing unit 18d adds the corresponding company name and company code to the rejected company list in the rejected company storage unit 15. To do. Further, when an instruction input for releasing the display refusal of the distribution information is given from the operation unit 13, the rejected company changing unit 18 d selects the corresponding company name from among the companies stored in the rejected company storage unit 15. The information of is to be deleted.

  Next, reception processing and display processing by the information display apparatus of FIG. 1 will be described according to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the reception process, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the distribution information is received by the DSRC module 11 in step S11, the received distribution information is given to the input processing unit 18a. In step S12, the input processing unit 18a refers to the preference data storage unit 14 and determines whether or not the genre of the received distribution information is registered as preference data desired to be received. In the case of registered preference data (step S12; yes), the process proceeds to step S13, and in the case of not registered preference data (step S12; no), the receiving process is terminated without accumulating distribution information.

  In step S <b> 13, the input processing unit 18 a refers to the rejected company storage unit 15, and the name of the company that provides the received distribution information (or a combination of the service provider code and the company code) is stored in the rejected company storage unit 15. It is determined whether or not it is registered in the refusal company list. If the company name or the like is not registered (step S13; No), the process proceeds to step S14. If the company name is registered (step S13; yes), the reception process is terminated without accumulating distribution information. In step S14, the input processing unit 18a accumulates the received distribution information in the reception data storage unit 16, and ends the reception process.

In the display process, as shown in FIG. 4B, in step S <b> 21, the display processing unit 18 c acquires current position information given from the GPS module 12.
In step S22, the display processing unit 18c searches the received data storage unit 16 to check whether there is received data whose information providing position matches the current position information. If there is no reception data corresponding to the current position of the information provision point (step S22; No), the process returns to step S21, and the processes of steps S21 and S22 are repeated. If there is received data in which the information provision point corresponds to the current position (step S22; Yes), the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S23, the display processing unit 18c reads the reception data in which the information provision point corresponds to the current position from the reception data storage unit 16, and generates a display screen based on the content information. In addition, since the display of received data is generally performed using a display device or a speaker of a car navigation system, the output method (display size and timing) while the vehicle is traveling does not interfere with vehicle travel. It is necessary to consider.

  For example, FIG. 3 shows a display example of the content information provided from the restaurant, and in addition to the content information provided by the company, a rejection button “Do not display information from here” is added. Yes. The operation button “detailed display” exists as original content information, and is used to display detailed information such as the menu of the restaurant.

In step S24, the display processing unit 18c monitors the input from the operation unit 13 and determines whether or not the reject button is pressed by the touch panel. If the button is pressed (step S24; yes), the process proceeds to step S25. If not pressed (step S24; No), the process proceeds to step S27.
When the reject button is pressed, in step S25, the company name, service provider code, company code, etc. are acquired from the received data, and in step S26, the company name, etc. is rejected in the reject company storage unit 15 in the reject company list. Then, the process proceeds to step S31 and the display is stopped.

  On the other hand, when the reject button has not been pressed (step S24; No), it is determined in step S27 whether an operation button other than the reject button has been pressed. When the operation button is not pressed (step S27; No), the process proceeds to step S29. When an operation button other than the reject button is pressed (step S27; yes), the process proceeds to step S28, and a display corresponding to the operation button is performed. After editing and outputting the screen, the process proceeds to step S29. In the display screen in step S28, a reject button is added in addition to the content information provided by the company.

  In step S29, the display processing unit 18c acquires the current position information given from the GPS module 12, and in step S30, whether or not the current position information has passed the information providing position of the currently displayed reception data. Determine whether. When it does not pass through the information providing position and still remains in the information providing point (step S30; No), the process returns to step S24, and the processes of steps S24 to S30 are repeated. When the information providing position is passed (step S30; Yes), the process proceeds to step S31 and the display is stopped. Note that the above reception process and display process are always repeated during the operation of the information providing apparatus.

  Next, the refusal cancellation process by the information display device of FIG. 1 will be described according to the flowchart of FIG. This refusal cancellation process is a process for canceling refusal to a company registered in the refusal company list in order to reject the display of content information, and displaying the content information of the company again. It is activated at any time based on the input.

  For example, when the rejected company canceling process is selected from the operation unit 13 according to the operation menu, the rejected company changing unit 18d is activated in step S41, and the company name in the rejected company list is read from the rejected company storage unit 15.

  In step S42, a rejected company release screen is created based on the company name read by the rejected company changing unit 18d. In step S43, for each company, a list of rejected company names is displayed as shown in FIG. A rejected company cancellation screen provided with a check box for designating whether or not to cancel is output to the display unit 17.

  In step S44, when a cancellation designation input for canceling the display rejection is performed from the operation unit 13, the designated company is deleted from the rejected company list in the rejected company storage unit 15 in step S45.

  As described above, the information providing apparatus according to the first embodiment creates and displays a display screen in which a reject button is added to the content information provided by the company, and when the reject button is pressed, it corresponds. The company name is registered in the refusal company list and content information of the corresponding company is not accumulated thereafter. Accordingly, there is an advantage that reception data unnecessary for the user is not reproduced, and it is less troubled by unnecessary information output.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a reception process and a display process according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The same steps as those in FIG. 4 are denoted by common reference numerals.

  In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the distribution information from the rejected company is not discarded in the reception process, but a non-display flag indicating that no display is performed is added to the distribution information. It is stored in the reception data storage unit 16 so that the distribution information for which the non-display flag is set is not displayed in the display process.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the reception process, in step S13A, it is determined whether or not the company providing the received distribution information is registered in the rejected company list, and the company name and the like are registered. If not (Step S13A; No), the process proceeds to Step S14A and the received distribution information is stored in the received data storage unit 16. On the other hand, if the company providing the received distribution information is registered in the rejected company list (step S13A; Yes), the process proceeds to step S13B, a non-display flag is set in the distribution information, and the information is displayed in step S14A. Distribution information in which the non-display flag is set is stored in the reception data storage unit 16.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, in the display process, if the received data storage unit 16 is searched in step S22 and there is received data whose information providing position matches the current position information, step S32 is performed. It is checked whether or not the non-display flag is set in the received data.

  If the non-display flag is set in the received data (step S32; set), the process proceeds to step S31 without displaying the received data, and the display process is stopped. On the other hand, when the non-display flag is not set, that is, when it is reset (step S32; reset), the process proceeds to step S23, and the reception data corresponding to the current position of the information providing point is read, and based on the content information Generate a display screen. Other processes are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  As described above, in the reception process and the display process of the second embodiment, a display screen in which a reject button is added to the content information provided by the company is created and displayed, and when the reject button is pressed, The corresponding company name is stored in the rejected company list, and the content information of the corresponding company after that is stored, but not displayed. Thereby, in addition to the same advantages as those of the first embodiment, there is an advantage that the content information of the rejected company can be displayed by an operation input from the operation unit 13 as necessary.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said 1st, 2nd embodiment, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
