Then, check whether there is facility (step ST13).That is, facility search part 31 checks whether retrieve the facility that matches with search condition.Do not have facility if be judged as in this step ST13, then program is returned step ST11, and then input is used to retrieve the search condition of wanting the facility that shows.Below, carry out the processing of step ST11~ST13 repeatedly, till in step ST13, being judged as the facility existence.
In the way of this repeatable operation, there is facility if in step ST13, be judged as, will represent that then the facility data of this facility is sent into apart from the orientation operational part 32.Then, carry out the calculating (step ST14) in distance and orientation.Promptly, calculate apart from orientation operational part 32: utilize and to put from this parking stall that the distance between the facility position shown in the facility data of putting, sending here from facility search part 31 with utilization in this parking stall shown in the data is put in this parking stall that test section 11 sends here and the orientation of the facility position of putting from this parking stall, and send in the facility symbol display control unit 33 as range data and bearing data respectively.
Then, check whether the facility that is retrieved is a plurality of (step ST15).In this step ST15, if the facility that is retrieved is not a plurality of, promptly be 1, then set the display size (step ST16) of basic symbol size as the facility symbol.That is, facility symbol display control unit 33 is set at the basic symbol size of reserving in advance with the display size of shown facility symbol.Then, program enters step ST20.
On the other hand, in step ST15, be a plurality of if be judged as the facility that retrieves, then then calculate the distance of putting each facility from this parking stall, and check it whether is facility (step ST17) farthest.In this step ST17,, set the display size (step ST18) of basic symbol size as the facility symbol for the facility that is judged as farthest.That is, facility symbol display control unit 33 is set at the basic symbol size with the display size of shown facility symbol, and then, program enters step ST20.
On the other hand, in step ST17,, then amplify basic symbol size (step ST19) corresponding to distance for being judged to be non-facility farthest.Promptly, if will arriving farthest, the distance setting of facility is Dmax, the distance setting that will arrive non-facility farthest is Dm, then facility symbol display control unit 33 calculating [the basic symbol size * (Dmax/Dm)], and set the display size of this result of calculation conduct to the facility symbol of non-facility farthest.Then, program enters step ST20.
In step ST20, carry out showing the processing of facility symbol at the periphery of this car mark.Promptly, facility symbol display control unit 33 calculate connect this parking stall put with the straight line of facility position, with the intersection point that is positioned at the formed circumference in position that leaves this car mark predetermined distance, and as the display position of facility symbol, the data that to represent the display position that this is calculated again, utilize the data of the display position of the display size of the facility symbol that the processing of step ST15~ST19 calculates and this car mark with expression, show that as the facility symbol control data sends into the symbol drawing section 42 of figure CPU16.
Symbol drawing section 42 shows control data according to the facility symbol of sending here from facility symbol display control unit 33, generates the symbol that is used for describing this car mark and facility symbol on navigation screen and describes data, and send in the display 17.By like this, for example as shown in Figure 5, be the orientation that facility exists putting, and leaving on the formed circumference in position of this car mark predetermined distance from this parking stall, according to the distance of putting the facility position from this parking stall, show and adjusted the facility symbol behind the display size.
In addition, in example shown in Figure 5,, can show the shop symbol of so-called convenience store or hospital according to search condition though be that symbol with the refuelling station is that example is represented as the facility symbol.In addition, the facility symbol can be set at translucent demonstration and constitute like that, thereby can not hinder map to show.
In addition, also can be when showing the facility symbol, notify with sound and to constitute like that.In this case, host CPU will show that with the facility symbol that facility symbol display control unit 33 generates control data is transformed to the sound control data, and send in the voice output control part 19.The sound control data that voice output control part 19 bases are sent here from host CPU 14, the sound data of from audio database 18, reading aloud, and generate the voice signal that guides the facility that retrieves.Send in the loudspeaker 20 with the voice signal that this voice output control part 19 generates.Loudspeaker 20 is according to the voice signal of sending here from voice output control part 19, sends the sound of the facility that guiding retrieves, and for example sends the distance that is directed to facility and the sound in orientation.
Then, check whether selected facility symbol (step ST21).That is, when utilizing facility symbol selection portion 15 to select to be shown in 1 facility symbol on the navigation screen, symbol drawing section 42 generates the facility of these facility symbols of choosing of expression and selects data, and sends in the path of navigation operational part 35 of host CPU 14.Path of navigation operational part 35 is selected data by checking this facility, judges whether to have selected the facility symbol.
In step ST21, be judged to be under the situation of not selecting the facility symbol, carry out this step ST21 repeatedly, and be in holding state.Under holding state, selected the facility symbol if be judged as, then will be with the represented facility of this facility symbol as destination or approach ground, and carry out path of navigation and explore (step ST22).That is, path of navigation operational part 35 is calculated and is put the path of navigation of being selected the represented facility of data by facility from this parking stall, and sends into the path of navigation drawing section 44 of figure CPU16 as the path of navigation data.Path of navigation drawing section 44 generates the path of navigation that is used for describing path of navigation on navigation screen and describes data, and sends into display 17.By like this, on the shown map of navigation screen, show path of navigation.Then, if path of navigation is not changed etc., then determine path of navigation (step ST23), beginning channeling conduct (step ST24).As mentioned above, the place retrieval process is finished.
Then, with reference to Fig. 3 and process flow diagram shown in Figure 4 the venue guiding processing is described.This venue guiding is handled and is begun under the state of having determined path of navigation (step ST30).At first, check whether carried out display setting (step ST31).In this step ST31, do not carry out display setting, promptly be set at not show navigator information if be judged as, then the navigation information of this car mark periphery is not shown, begin common path of navigation (step ST32).
On the other hand, in step ST31, carried out display setting, then calculated apart from orientation (step ST33) if be judged as.Promptly, apart from orientation operational part 32 calculate utilization from this parking stall put this parking stall that test section 11 sends here put this represented parking stall of data put, with the destination that configures and/or approach ground (below, be designated as [destination/approach ground]) between distance and the orientation on destination/approach ground of putting from this parking stall, and, send into facility symbol display control unit 33 respectively as range data and bearing data.
Then, check the guiding place whether have a plurality of settings, be destination/approach ground (step ST34).In this step ST35, not a plurality of guiding place, be 1 if be judged as, judge that then this guiding place is the destination, and set the display size (step ST35) of basic symbol size as the destination symbol.That is, set symbol display control unit 33 the destination symbol dimension that shows is set at pre-set basic symbol size.The basic symbol that this step ST35 sets in the processing (step ST45) of back, uses as initial displaying symbol size.Then, program enters step ST39.
On the other hand, in step ST34,, then then calculate the distance of putting each guiding place from this parking stall if be judged as a plurality of guiding place, and check whether be farthest the guiding place, be destination/approach ground (step ST36).In this step ST36, be the destination/approach ground that guides the place farthest for being judged as, then set the display size (step ST37) of basic symbol size as destination/approach ground.That is, facility symbol display control unit 33 is set at the basic symbol size with the size of the destination/approach ground symbol of demonstration.By the basic symbol size that this step ST37 sets, in the processing (step ST47) of back, use as initial displaying symbol size.Then, program enters step ST39.
On the other hand, in step ST36,, then amplify basic symbol size (step ST38) according to distance for being judged as the non-destination/approach ground that guides the place farthest.Promptly, if will arrive as guiding the distance setting on the destination/approach ground in place farthest is Dmax1, to arrive that non-to guide the distance setting on the destination/approach ground in place farthest be Dm1, then facility symbol display control unit 33 calculates [basic symbol size * (Dmax1/Dm1)], and this result of calculation is set as for the non-display size that guides the destination/approach ground symbol on the destination/approach ground in place farthest.By the symbol dimension that this step ST38 sets, in the processing (step ST47) of back, use as initial displaying symbol size.Then, program enters step ST39.
In step ST39, carry out showing the processing of guiding ground point symbol (destination/approach ground symbol) at the periphery of this car mark.Promptly, facility symbol display control unit 33 is calculated and is connected that this parking stall is put and the straight line of destination/position, approach ground, and be positioned at the intersection point of the formed circumference in position that leaves this car mark predetermined distance, with display position as destination/approach ground symbol, data with this display position of calculating of expression, the data of the symbol dimension of being calculated by the processing of step ST34~ST38 with expression and the display position of this car mark show that as the facility symbol control data sends into the symbol drawing section 42 of figure CPU16.
Symbol drawing section 42 shows control data according to the facility symbol of sending here from facility symbol display control unit 33, generates the symbol that is used for describing this car mark and destination/approach ground symbol on navigation screen and describes data, and send in the display 17.By like this, putting from this parking stall is the orientation that destination/approach ground exists, and,, show and adjusted the destination behind the display size/approach ground symbol according to the distance of putting destination/approach ground from this parking stall being positioned on the formed circumference in position that leaves this car mark predetermined distance.
Then, begin guiding (step ST40).Then, check whether selected destination/approach ground symbol (step ST41).Specifically, when utilizing facility symbol selection portion 15 to select to be shown in 1 destination on the navigation screen/approach ground symbol, symbol drawing section 42 generates the facility selection data of this destination/approach ground symbol of having selected of expression, and sends in the facilities information display control unit 34 of host CPU 14.Facilities information display control unit 34 is selected data by checking this facility, thereby judges whether to have selected destination/approach ground symbol.
In step ST41, selected destination/approach ground symbol if be judged as, then jump out show with the represented facilities information (step ST42) that the destination/approach ground is relevant of this destination/approach ground symbol.Promptly, facilities information display control unit 34 generates and is used to show that utilization shows control data from the facility selection data facilities information represented and destination/facilities information that approach ground is relevant that figure CPU16 sends here, and sends in the facilities information drawing section 43 of figure CPU16.
Facilities information drawing section 43 is according to the facilities information data of sending here from facility symbol display control unit 33, generates the facilities information that is used for describing facilities information on navigation screen and describes data, and send in the display 17.By like this, for example as shown in Figure 6, shown destination/approach ground adopts and jumps out to show facilities information from the circumference that is formed at the position of leaving this car mark predetermined distance.In example shown in Figure 6, represented example is that destination/approach ground is the refuelling station, shows the moment of running a shop and putting up the shutter as facilities information.
In addition, at the example shown in Fig. 6 be, the facility symbol is the refuelling station, adopt from this facility symbol and to jump out showing facilities information, constitute like that but also can jump out with range of a signal, orientation, store information, information of vehicles etc. from other employings such as shop symbol, destination/approach ground symbol, this car mark.Fig. 7 represents to adopt from this car mark the example of the demonstration information of vehicles (temperature outside residual fuel and the car) of jumping out.

In above-mentioned steps ST41, do not select your destination/approach ground symbol, the then processing of skips steps ST42 if be judged as.Then, whether moved (step ST43) if checking that this parking stall is put.This is by checking that put this parking stall that test section 11 sends here puts data and whether change and carry out from this parking stall.In this step ST43, do not put less than moving if be judged to be this parking stall, then carry out this step ST43 repeatedly, and be in holding state.
Carrying out step ST43 repeatedly and be under the state of standby, putting mobilely, then then checking the guiding place (destination/approach ground) (step ST44) that whether has a plurality of settings if be judged as this parking stall.In this step ST44, if be judged as the guiding place be not a plurality of, be 1, judge that then this guiding place is the destination, and change the display size (step ST45) of destination symbol according to displacement.Promptly, be set at Ds1 if will put distance to destination from this parking stall before moving, and will put distance to destination from this parking stall after moving and be set at Ds2, then facility symbol display control unit 33 is by with reference to the initial displaying symbol size set in step ST35, calculate [initial displaying symbol size/(Ds1-Ds2)], and with the display size of this result's setting as the destination symbol.Then, program enters step ST49.
On the other hand, in step ST44, be a plurality of if be judged as the guiding place, then then calculate the distance of putting each guiding place from this parking stall, check whether be farthest the guiding place, be destination/approach ground (step ST46).In step ST46,, change the display size (step ST47) of destination/approach ground symbol according to displacement for being judged as being the destination/approach ground that guides the place farthest.Promptly, if will put the distance setting on the destination/approach ground in conduct guiding place farthest from this parking stall before moving is Dmax1, to put as non-that to guide the distance setting on the destination/approach ground in place farthest be Dmax2 from this parking stall after moving, then facility symbol display control unit 33 is by the initial displaying symbol size of reference by step ST37 setting, calculate [initial displaying symbol size/(Dmax1-Dmax2)], and this result of calculation is set as being the display size of the destination/approach ground symbol on destination/approach ground for farthest guiding place.Then, program enters step ST49.
On the other hand, in step ST46,, then change the display size (step ST48) on destination/approach ground according to displacement for being judged as the destination/approach ground that is not to guide farthest the place.Promptly, non-to guide the distance setting on the destination/approach ground in place farthest be DA1 if will put from this parking stall before moving, to put that non-to guide the distance setting on the destination/approach ground in place farthest be DA2 from this parking stall after moving, then facility symbol display control unit 33 is by with reference to the initial displaying symbol size that is configured by step ST38, calculate [initial displaying symbol size/(DA1-DA2)], and this result of calculation is set as for the non-display size that guides the destination/approach ground symbol on the destination/approach ground in place farthest.Then, program enters step ST49.
In step ST49, carry out showing the processing of guiding ground point symbol (destination/approach ground symbol) at the periphery of this car mark.Promptly, facility symbol display control unit 33 is calculated and is connected that this parking stall is put and the straight line of destination/position, approach ground, and be positioned at the intersection point of the formed circumference in position that leaves this car mark predetermined distance, and as the display position of destination/approach ground symbol, and will represent the display position that this is calculated data, utilize the data of the display position of symbol dimension that the processing of step ST44~ST48 calculates and this car mark with expression, show control data and send in the symbol drawing section 42 of figure CPU16 as the facility symbol.
Symbol drawing section 42 shows control data according to the facility symbol of sending here from facility symbol display control unit 33, generates the symbol that is used for describing this car mark and destination/approach ground symbol on navigation screen and describes data, and send in the display 17.By like this, putting from this parking stall is the orientation that destination/approach ground exists, and be positioned on the formed circumference in position that leaves this car mark predetermined distance, according to the distance of putting destination/approach ground from this parking stall, show destination/approach ground symbol of adjusting behind the display size, that is,, show display size is become big destination/approach ground symbol along with put near destination/approach ground this parking stall.
Then, whether arrive destination/approach ground periphery (step ST50) if checking that this parking stall is put.In this step ST50, put and do not arrive destination/approach ground periphery if be judged as this parking stall, then program is returned step ST43, and above-mentioned steps repeatedly.Put arrival destination/approach ground periphery if be judged as this parking stall, then flicker shows destination/approach ground symbol (step ST51).That is, facility symbol display control unit 33 is sent into the facility symbol demonstration control data that is generated in the symbol drawing section 42 of figure CPU16 off and on.By like this, flicker shows destination/approach ground symbol.
Then, check whether also there be destination/approach ground (step ST52).In this step ST52, also exist destination/approach ground if be judged as, then program is returned step ST43, and above-mentioned repeatedly processing.On the other hand, in step ST52, do not have destination/approach ground if be judged as, then be judged as and arrive destination (step ST53), the navigation information relevant with this destination becomes non-display message, and finishes venue guiding and handle.
Such as described above, guider according to the invention process form 1, show that with symbol the facility consistent with the search condition of user's input constitutes like that in this car mark periphery concentrated area because be, so can not under the situation of moving view point, grasp distance, direction and location information on a large scale instantaneously the user from this car to facility.As a result, the user can select facility more easily.
In addition, even since in route guidance way also the periphery at this car mark show destination/approach ground symbol, and consider the distance on destination/approach ground, the display size on destination/approach ground is changed constitutes like that, therefore can easily grasp this car close/away from the navigation information of destination etc.
