Description

The map-indication method of guider and this guider
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of guider that facility on map and the map is shown and the map-indication method of this guider.Be particularly related to a kind of representative icon of utilizing a plurality of facility icons on the map are fast shown the guider that increases the map identifiability and the map-indication method of this guider.
Background technology
In recent years, carrying on vehicle or portable mobile device the guider that carries out road guide for the end user is widely used.Guider carries out the demonstration of peripheral map and facility, perhaps search road target or facility's objectives in shown road-map by receiving the current location that obtains vehicle etc. from the signal of positioning systems such as GPRS.
In existing road-map shows, come the kind and the position of image expression road periphery facility usually by the facility icon of representing certain independent facility.In the display packing of existing facility icon, in general, the user need enter to set behind the picture and the facility on the map shown set by control assembly.The example of for example in Figure 11, representing the setting picture of facility icon display.Epimere in Figure 11, the user selects " setting of facility icon display " after entering the setting picture by interfaces such as touch-screens, thereby enter the facility icon display shown in Figure 11 hypomere and set picture, set in the picture in the facility icon display, demonstrate the big class title of facility, for example big class title such as " government bodies ", " automobile services ".The user can select all icons of this facility on the map are carried out " part shows ", " the full demonstration " or " not showing ", when selecting " the full demonstration " or " part shows ", on map, show all the facility icons or the part facility icon of this facility kind.All facility icons of a kind of facility are all identical or trickle difference arranged under most of situation, thereby when getting back to guide picture once more after setting, the display frame of map enters into the state that shows the facility icon shown in Figure 12 hypomere from the state that does not show the facility icon of epimere as shown in figure 12.
But, as shown in figure 12, when showing the facility icon, because the facility in some highway section is crossed to intensive, thereby a lot of facility icons mix and are superimposed on map, make picture become chaotic, the user can't see map clearly, also is difficult to therefrom select concrete facility icon to carry out further actions such as goal-setting.
At the problems referred to above, several settling modes have been proposed.For example, in patent documentation 1, disclose a kind of by the facility icon is preset set the icon make on the picture show or non-demonstration between the guider that switches.
In addition, in patent documentation 2, proposed to change according to driver's hobby or utilize the time to bring the method for automatic change facility icon display.
Above-mentioned two kinds of display packings all need each facility icon of expression same facility kind is set respectively or operated, and the minimizing effect of complicated operation and icon is also not obvious.Therefore, following guider has further been proposed in patent documentation 3, promptly, to representing representative icon of a plurality of facility icon sets of same facility kind, when the quantity of a plurality of facility icons of the same facility kind of the expression on being presented at picture surpasses some, represent all facility icon display in the specific region of display frame with representative icon, thereby reduce shown number of icons, make picture become clearer.
But, in this guider, only carry out the demonstration of automatic representative icon when the facility icon of the same facility kind of expression surpasses some, thereby all be the common demonstration of facility icon and representative icon usually in some zone, still there is certain numerous and diverse property in picture.And, when the representative icon that needs in some zone to show is too much, can only show whole representative icon in the representative icon viewing area.It is big that thereby the ratio that the viewing area of representative icon occupies on whole image becomes, and map picture becomes too small and is unfavorable for observing.And too much representative icon shows simultaneously, also has the problem of user's selection operation difficulty.
In addition, in patent documentation 3 in the display packing of disclosed representative icon, difference on not showing between each representative icon, that is to say, the DISPLAY ORDER of representative icon and position are arbitrarily, as long as can show in the viewing area of representative icon, like this owing to do not embody the priority of representative icon, therefore, be unfavorable for that also the user finds the icon of the facility of oneself wanting as early as possible.

Embodiment
Followingly embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to accompanying drawing.
And, in following each embodiment, for the convenience that illustrates, all be to be that example describes with the on-vehicle navigation apparatus 1 that carries on vehicle, but the guider that the present invention relates to is not defined as vehicle-mounted guider, can be the guider that carries on portable equipments such as portable telephone yet.
(first embodiment)
Fig. 1 is the structured flowchart of the guider 1 that the present invention relates to of expression.Wherein, mainly comprise map datum storage part 10, facility icon storage part 20, representative icon storage part 30, display part 40, judging part 50, priority level initializing portion 60 and control part 70 in the guider 1 of the present invention.Can also comprise the structure that is had in other existing guiders in the guider 1, for example receive the signal receiving part of positioning signal etc.,, omit specific description here because these parts belong to known technology.
Below each critical piece involved in the present invention is elaborated.
Map datum storage part 10 is made of the parts that ROM, RAM, semiconductor memory or register etc. have memory function, in map datum storage part 10, store the map datum in vehicle ' zone in advance, in general, map datum is provided by the map supply merchant, can comprise road information and various peripheral information (for example facilities information etc.) in the zone that relates to.
Facility icon storage part 20 is made of the parts that ROM, RAM, semiconductor memory or register etc. have memory function, in facility icon storage part 20, store with above-mentioned map datum in the corresponding facility icon of various facilities that comprises.This facility icon makes the pattern of certain icon corresponding one by one with the facility title of representative through preestablishing.In the process that user oriented navigates, with the facility icon display on the map with the position at the corresponding facility of this facility icon place on, the facility of pointing out the user to have this facility icon representative in this position for example, can make the facility icon of disc shape
Figure G200910002602XD0000051
Representative " restaurant facility " this type, thus when displayed map, there is food and drink class facility in the user in the place that icon marked of this disc shape as can be known.
In addition, when showing the facility icon of the same kind of a plurality of expressions on the map, be illustrated in the facility of this kind identical of existence in the shown zone of this map with shown number of icons.The number of the facility icon of user by grasping the same kind of expression what, can grasp the number of the facility of this kind.
In addition, the facility icon of in general representing same kind is identical icon, still, sometimes belongs to each branch of the facility of same kind for concrete refinement, also can be with the facility of the different same kinds of facility icon representation.For example the icon that will represent " automobile services " according to the cleaning of expression in " automobile services ", the difference such as cleanings of holding concurrently of refueling serves when further being divided into different facility icon, can the different facility icons that belong to same kind be shown individually by existing " part shows " function the facility icon.The display packing of this part belongs to known technology, therefore omits specific description herein.In addition, about the pattern of facility icon, do not seek unity of standard at present, generally figure or the trade mark by pictograph waits the establishment type that makes the user understand this facility icon representative.
The kind of facility icon also can be stored in layering, for example, adopts under some big class facility kinds in the specific embodiment in the present invention to exist the mode of a plurality of group facility kinds to carry out the storage of facility icon.As shown in Figure 3, in the picture of " setting of facility icon display " that the epimere of Fig. 3 shows, comprise the kind of big class facility icon, comprise government bodies, automobile services, means of transportation and cultural facility etc.The facility kind of this big class does not often have concrete facility icon.And in the scope of this big class, also there is the classification of the facility icon of concrete group.For example comprise restaurant facility, natatorium etc. in the cultural facility scope in this embodiment.Generally the facility icon according to the minimum classification shows on road-map.Certainly, this classification is arbitrarily, also different according to different guiders, and can not carry out this method of classification by different level, and directly in the picture of " setting of facility icon display " shown in Figure 3, show according to concrete facility icon (for example restaurant facility, natatorium etc.), thereby can in the picture of " setting of facility icon display ", directly select display mode respectively, also can realize the present invention various facility icons.
Representative icon storage part 30 is made of the parts that ROM, RAM, semiconductor memory or register etc. have memory function, is used for storing the representative icon that each the facility kind according to above-mentioned facility icon sets.That is to say that the difference of so-called representative icon and facility icon is here, a facility icon representative be certain concrete facility on the map, and a representative icon has been represented an establishment type, has promptly represented all facilities that belong to this establishment type.Therefore, certain representative icon is corresponding with a plurality of facility icons of the establishment type that belongs to this representative icon representative.
In addition, representative icon does not have the concrete on-site function of mark facility, because representative icon is directly pointed to its pairing a plurality of facility icons.Therefore,, can reduce the number of facility icon by the application of representative icon, and the facility kind that fast shows this zone and had.
Display part 40 is made of display units such as display or LCDs, also can be that liquid crystal touch screen etc. can instruct the display device of input, on display part 40, show the road-map that map datum generated be stored in the map datum storage part 10, and can show with this road-map and be stored in the facility icon in the facility icon storage part 20 or be stored in representative icon in the representative icon storage part 30.
Judging part 50 is made of data processors such as CPU or microprocessors, is used to judge the facility kind that is presented at each facility icon on the road-map, makes the facility icon of same facility kind point to same representative icon.
Priority level initializing portion 60 is made of data processors such as CPU or microprocessors, can carry out the ordering of priority to the representative icon of representing different facility kinds according to preset rule, perhaps the representative icon of representing different facility kinds be carried out the ordering of priority by the input of accepted user.
In the first embodiment, by the input of accepted user, can give different representative icon priority separately according to user's self hobby in real time.Here, be 10 grades with the level setting of priority, wherein, the facility that the user is most interested in is made as " 1 ", and expression priority is the highest, and user's second interested facility is made as " 2 ", and expression priority is time high, later on by that analogy.
Certainly, the quantity here " 10 " is not well-determined, can be any number according to the data-handling capacity of priority level initializing portion 60 and actual needs.And the ordering rule of data also can change according to the custom of different regions.For example " 10 " are made as the superlative degree, expression priority is the most high.
Control part 70 is made of data processors such as CPU or microprocessors, and the replacement on road-map of control device icon and representative icon shows.Specifically, be shown as a representative icon representing this facility kind with being presented on the above-mentioned display part 40 and being judged as a plurality of above-mentioned facility icon displacement that belongs to same facility kind by above-mentioned judging part 50, no longer show concrete facility icon and position thereof on the display part 40 thereby make, and the regulation that only marks off zone shows that the representative icon of a certain facility kind of unified expression gets final product on the picture of display part 40.Thus, the quantity of the icon that need show with road-map on display part 40 reduces greatly, can increase the identifiability of user to road-map.
And control part 70 increases user's operability also by the DISPLAY ORDER of representative icon in the viewing area that is controlled at representative icon.Specifically, control part 70 is according to the above-mentioned representative icon of series arrangement of the priority that is set by above-mentioned priority level initializing portion 60, and the representative icon of the every regulation number in a plurality of above-mentioned representative icon after arranging is presented on the display part 40 successively.This regulation number can be by the size of the representative icon viewing area on the display part 40 or the hobby decision of individual subscriber, only otherwise hinder identification to road-map, can be any number.In the present embodiment, bottom on the picture of display part 40 is provided with the representative icon viewing area of strip, hypothesis can show 5 representative icon at most on this representative icon viewing area, therefore, the priority order from high to low that sets according to priority level initializing portion 60 is divided into two groups that quantity equates with 10 representative icon, and the priority of each representative icon also is from high in the end in every group.This puts in order also can set by the user and changes, so that meet client's personal needs more.
And, when on road-map, only showing the representative icon of each facility kind, when having been carried out selection by the user by display part 40, certain representative icon on being presented at above-mentioned display part 40 (for example touches click action on the display screen etc.), above-mentioned control part 70 shows all facility icons of the facility kind that belongs to this representative icon representative on above-mentioned road-map, also can carry out further operations such as goal-setting thereby make the user understand concrete facility icon position.Below substitute to show that with representative icon the display mode of facility icon is called " the quick demonstration " with this.
Utilize accompanying drawing 2~4 to describe the processing sequence of this " the quick demonstration " in detail below.
Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram that carries out " the quick demonstration " in expression first embodiment.Fig. 3 is the figure that the expression first embodiment medium priority is set the example of handling.Fig. 4 is the figure of the example that map shows in expression first embodiment.
As shown in Figure 2, at first, guider begins after the display setting of road-map and facility icon, judge the facility kind that is presented at each facility icon on the map by judging part 50, make a plurality of facility icons that belong to same facility kind that are stored in the facility icon storage part 20 point to a representative icon (step S101) that is stored in the representative icon storage part 30.
Be the convenience in the explanation, in the present embodiment, it is as follows to set the concrete implication that is stored in 10 representative icon in the representative icon storage part 30:
Representative icon

Representative " natatorium " kind.
Then, in step S102, control part 70 will be judged as all facility icons that belong to above-mentioned same establishment type by judging part 50 and be replaced as a representative icon on display part in step S101, promptly conceal all facility icons of a certain establishment type of expression that on road-map, shows, and show corresponding representative icon in the representative icon viewing area.
At this moment, in step S103, enter the priority level initializing picture, set the priority of each representative icon, thereby carry out the demonstration of representative icon according to the order of priority by priority level initializing portion 60.Fig. 3 shows an example of priority level initializing picture.Express the option that in " facility icon display " picture, has increased " the quick demonstration " at the epimere of Fig. 3, after entering " the quick demonstration ", can shown in Fig. 3 stage casing, select the group facility kind under the corresponding big class establishment type, for example kind " restaurant " is set afterwards in click, the representative icon shown in Fig. 3 hypomere occurs and carry out the priority level initializing picture of priority level initializing " restaurant " facility, because priority has 10 grades in this embodiment, so the user can select the priority of a grade as above-mentioned facility kind " restaurant " in 10 grades.Here, be " 1 " with the level setting in " restaurant ", expression priority is the highest.
Representative of graphics to other is carried out same processing, thereby the prioritization that forms is as follows:
Grade 1: Grade 2:

Grade 10:
Then, the representative icon that configures priority according to separately priority packet,, is divided into one group with grade 1~5 here, class 6~10 are divided into one group, form two groups (step S104).
Next, control part 70 makes display part 40 show this two groups successively, for example can in order each group be shown the stipulated time respectively, and demonstration again circulates.So far, the display setting to representative icon finishes.
In addition, will be stored in a plurality of facility kinds in the facility icon storage part 20 in advance at judging part 50 points to certain representative icon in the representative icon storage parts 30 and has set up under the situation of corresponding relation, when perhaps the user wishes to change the priority relationship of setting before, also can omit step S102, directly the interface of setting by picture enters display priority and sets picture, carries out the selection of the priority of representative icon and sets.
On the other hand, when guider 1 when dispatching from the factory by producer according to initial settings such as market surveys initial priority when order of representative icon, also can omit step S103, guider 1 carries out the demonstration of representative icon according to original start.
In addition, the stipulated time of each group demonstration can be set according to the requirements such as speed of User Recognition.Situation when figure 4 illustrates first group of representative icon of display part 40 demonstrations.In this Fig. 4,5 representative icon in first group are arranged backward according to priority order from high to low in the past and are shown.In this embodiment, think that the representative icon that comes top position is the easiest representative icon of being noted by the user, successively, arrange in proper order that the icon (icon that priority is the highest) that the user is most interested in is placed on the foremost according to this.But can certainly be out of shape accordingly display packing and position according to the difformity of representative icon viewing area, point out priority the highest representative icon at first to the user as long as can accomplish.For example in the representative icon viewing area of perpendicular shape, also representative icon can be arranged from top to bottom according to priority order from high to low.
Next, when the user has carried out selection to the icon of " 24 hours convenience stores " in the display frame shown in Fig. 4 epimere (clicking or double-click selection etc.), the picture demonstration transfers the display frame shown in Fig. 4 hypomere to, control part 70 is at all facility icons that show the facility kind belong to this representative icon representative on the above-mentioned road-map (on this picture totally three places), the facility icon that belongs to a certain facility kind by so independent demonstration, can point out the facility of corresponding this kind of user's periphery, and dwindled the scope of selecting, avoided confusion reigned.
In addition, also can be by triggering corresponding representative icon once more, hide the facility icon and only show representative icon.
Variation 1
In the above-described embodiment, two groups divide into groups to show by 10 representative icon are divided into 5: 5, but the quantity of each group in fact may not be identical, as long as the quantity of the representative icon in maximum one group of quantity is no more than the load that can show the representative graph target area, for example also 10 representative icon can be divided into " 4,4,2 " three groups, the time interval shows each group according to the rules.Because the 3rd group the minimum and minimum number of priority also can must be lacked the 3rd group demonstration time set than other two groups.
In addition.Can not divide into groups yet, but be the interval with per 2 seconds for example, according to these 10 representative icon of ordering roll display of priority, thus per 2 seconds, come that top representative icon is concealed and correspondingly increase a representative icon in the back, middle representative icon is advanced successively.Like this, 10 set representative icon can carry out showing according to the sequence alternate of priority.
2 seconds time intervals here also were when guider dispatches from the factory or the numerical value that is set by the user, and can change accordingly according to the requirement of user's custom and processing power.
In addition, under the situation of representative icon negligible amounts (for example 2~4), after can sorting to representative icon according to priority orders, all representative icon are presented on the display part, just needn't set in this case the time interval.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, above-mentioned control part 70 is arranged backward according to priority order from high to low in the past and is shown, but custom difference according to the client, also can be for example with last as the easiest position of being noticed by the user, show thereby arrange backward in the past according to priority order from low to high.
In the first embodiment, because can be according to the arrangement of priority, reveal at least one representative icon in a plurality of representative icon of consumer taste in representative icon viewing area display body, even thereby since on the screen icon number that can show limited and can't show all representative icon fully the time, also can be according to predefined priority, arrange icons comes to show successively in order certain the several representative icon in a plurality of representative icon, thereby and can not produce prior art like that owing to need the representative icon quantity of demonstration too much to hinder the problem of road-map identifiability.
And the setting of priority improves the present situation of existing lack of alignment representative icon, thereby has improved the navigation performance of guider.
Variation 2
In the above-described embodiment, if pre-defined 10 representative icon and not having under the situation of change, the situation that on road-map, can have the establishment type that does not have all representative icon representatives in the shown map area sometimes, if the change of all pointing out the user to carry out representative icon kind and priority in this case at every turn, work can be more loaded down with trivial details.And, when periphery does not have certain facility and shown the representative icon of representing this kind facility kind in the viewing area of representative icon, the user is misunderstood.
Therefore, in variation, periphery is put in for example this parking stall in road-map does not have corresponding facility kind time-like, and control part 70 can remove the representative icon of peripheral non-existent corresponding establishment automatically when according to priority representative icon being sorted, thereby also can not show this icon on display part.For example in above-mentioned example, when there be not " postal facility " of class 6 in periphery, do not consider the existence of class 6 during ordering, when the time according to from high to low rank order of priority, is grade 7 after the class 5, thus representative icon that also can display level 6 on display part 40.Priority level initializing portion 60 carries out the ordering of priority again to 9 remaining representative icon after removing " postal facility " this facility kind, thereby the priority level middle grade 6 after upgrading is " airport installation " kind.
In addition, also can be, control part 70 is when showing this non-existent representative icon, as shown in Figure 5, originally selectable representative icon becomes and can not select, when for example there is not McDonald in selectable McDonald icon in this zone in Fig. 5 epimere by control part 70 change in the picture of Fig. 5 hypomere can not selection mode (for example shade state), do not have the shop of McDonald thereby the user can know the residing position of this car periphery at a glance.
(second embodiment)
The component parts of the guider 1 in second embodiment is identical with component parts in first embodiment shown in Figure 1, therefore to the identical label of identical parts mark and omit specific description.
In addition, the difference of second embodiment and first embodiment is, the action difference of priority level initializing portion 60.Guider 1 in second embodiment can also be set the priority different according to the difference of time period by 60 pairs of a plurality of representative icon of priority level initializing portion except carrying out the demonstration of the representative icon in first embodiment.
Wherein, guider 1 mainly comprises map datum storage part 10, facility icon storage part 20, representative icon storage part 30, display part 40, judging part 50, priority level initializing portion 60 and control part 70 as mentioned above.Below describe the processing sequence of setting priority in second embodiment according to the time period in detail.
Fig. 6 carries out the process flow diagram that map shows in expression second embodiment.Wherein, step S201 and step S202 are identical with step S101 and S102 among Fig. 2, therefore omit to specify.On the other hand, difference between first embodiment and second embodiment is, enter utilize the pattern that representative icon fast shows after, the user can also be the special priority of setting representative icon of certain day a certain period according to a certain period in the middle of one day, can be called " self-defined setting " according to the mode that the hobby of oneself is set the priority of time segment especially with this here.
