Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tour course instructing and confirming device which is used in a transportation business, a delivery business, and the like that travels around many stores.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the transportation and delivery industries, a plurality of stores requiring delivery, their order, estimated arrival time, etc. are determined for each course, and these are usually handed to the driver in writing as a course instruction sheet. .

The driver confirms the position of each store in the delivered course instruction sheet from the address, and sets the course to be visited based on the order. If the location is unknown, a road map may be turned.

[0004]

As described above, the instructions in the paper course instruction sheet require the driver to assemble the routes in the order, which depends on the degree of geographical knowledge of the driver.

[0005] For example, a new driver or a driver who is dispatched from a remote place for relief such as an earthquake must have a great deal of labor, such as having to confirm with a road map book each time. However, there is a risk that driving will be hindered.

[0006] In addition, although there is no vehicle equipped with a car navigation device in recent years, the course instruction is given every day, and if the course changes every day, it may be registered in advance in this car navigation device. It is impossible.

Therefore, even if a car navigation device is mounted on each vehicle, the route between the current position and the store to which the vehicle is heading is displayed on the monitor of this car navigation device, but all the stores to be visited are displayed in order. It is not possible. As a result, the route to the next store had to be displayed on this car navigation device each time.

[0008] On the other hand, the administrator can only check the route and time as instructed in the course instruction sheet by the verbal report from the driver, and the accurate management cannot be performed.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconvenience of the above-mentioned conventional example, to enable a person who is not familiar with geography to issue a patrol instruction in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. It is to provide a tour course instruction and confirmation device that can be accurately obtained and ideally managed.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a traveling course instruction device which is a card reader / writer connected to a personal computer installed in an office or the like. , The order, and put this memory card on the card reader of the business unit attached to the car navigation device mounted on the vehicle, and the multiple destinations, which are the recorded contents of the memory card, and their order are stored in the car navigation device. The point is that the route to the destination is displayed in line order in each of the above-mentioned order by overlaying it on the map information that displays the current position on the monitor, and the estimated arrival time is displayed beside the destination. To do.

Further, as the tour course confirmation device, in the tour course instruction device according to claim 1, the card reader of the business unit attached to the car navigation device is a card reader / writer capable of being a writer. The destination and the order and time of the tour on the memory card are recorded, and the recorded contents of the memory card are read by a card reader / writer connected to a personal computer installed in an office, etc. The point is to output in comparison with.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the patrol instruction given to each course every day is called from a personal computer installed in an office or the like and recorded in a memory card, and the memory card is given to the driver. . When the driver puts the passed memory card on the card reader of the business unit attached to the car navigation device of his car, the driver superimposes it on the map information that displays the current position on the monitor of the car navigation device and displays it to the destination. Since the route is displayed as a line instruction in each of the above-mentioned order, it is possible to accurately visit the destination by observing the route.

According to the present invention of claim 2, further,
By displaying the estimated arrival time beside the destination, it becomes possible to give a more appropriate patrol instruction.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above operation, the card reader of the business unit attached to the car navigation device is a card reader / writer capable of being a writer, and the card reader is circulated to the memory card. If you use a card reader / writer that records the destination, its sequence and time, and connects this memory card to a personal computer installed in an office, etc. Since the contents that have been patrolled are compared and output, this enables accurate management.
