(2) Route guiding is handled:
Then, navigation system 10 is run in above structure.Fig. 2A is the flow chart for showing Route guiding processing.Make
User is indicated with the portions user I/F 44 proceed by Route guiding in the case of, by 20 execution route guiding of control unit handle.When
When proceeding by Route guiding processing, control unit 20 obtains by the processing of traveling predefined paths acquisition unit 21a and travels predetermined road
Diameter acquisition unit 21a (step S100).That is, control unit 20 shows picture for designation purposes in the portions user I/F 44, and lead to
It crosses the picture and receives user designated destination.
Then, control unit 20 searches for current location to the path of destination, which is with reference to cartographic information 30a
Based on GPS receiving unit 41, vehicle speed sensor 42, the output signal of gyrosensor 43 and determination.At this point, 20 reference of control unit
Cartographic information 30a and learning information 30d determines the link cost of each link.That is, regulation has the link of acquiescence in cartographic information 30a
The link cost of the acquiescence is usually considered as link cost by cost, control unit 20.
But in the case of having recorded section outside the same path of predetermined number of times or more in learning information 30d, control unit
20 are set as the link cost for the link that section includes outside the path value of the link cost less than acquiescence.For example, control
The link cost of acquiescence by subtracting the processing of given amount from the link cost of acquiescence or can be multiplied by less than 1 just by portion 20
The mode of coefficient etc. sets the value.In the state of so setting link cost, control unit 20 searches for departure place to destination
Path, the path that acquires is as traveling predefined paths.Therefore, predetermined number of times or more is had recorded in learning information 30d
Same path outside in the case of section, the road for being easy to include using section outside the path is as route searching result.
When getting traveling predefined paths, control unit 20 starts to obtain row by the processing of running history acquisition unit 21b
Sail history (step S105).That is, control unit 20 proceeds by following processing, that is, it is each periodically between (or per certain distance)
It determines the current location of vehicle, and the current location and moment is established into correspondence and are recorded as running history information 30c.
Then, control unit 20 judges whether vehicle arrives at (step S110).That is, control unit 20 is based on GPS receiver
Portion 41, vehicle speed sensor 42, the output signal of gyrosensor 43 determine current location, are located at distance in step in current location
The destination obtained in S100 both in the case of the range within set a distance, was determined as that vehicle arrived at.In step S110
In be not determined as in the case of arriving at, control unit 20 repeats step S110.That is, control unit 20 continues to obtain running history
Until arriving at.
It is determined as in step s 110 in the case of arriving at, the outer section acquisition unit 21c of 20 passage path of control unit
Processing, the outer section (step S115) of acquisition approach.That is, control unit 20 is obtained with reference to traveling predefined paths information 30b in step
The traveling predefined paths obtained in rapid S100, and obtain with reference to running history information 30c and obtained by the processing of step S105
Departure place to destination path.Then, control unit 20 will travel predefined paths and the path of departure place to destination carries out
Compare, in the case of the two difference, from different sections is extracted in running history as section outside path.Then, control unit
20 carry out path learning processing (step S120).
The processing of (2-1) path learning:
Fig. 2 B are the flow charts for showing path learning shown in step S120 and handling.Fig. 3 A~Fig. 3 D be show exist with
The figure of example outside the associated paths SA or PA in the case of section indicates traveling predefined paths, with dotted line arrow with solid arrow
Head indicates section outside path.In path learning processing, the processing of the outer section correction portion 21d of 20 passage path of control unit, judgement exists
Whether including SA or PA (step S200) in section outside the path obtained in step S115.That is, control unit 20 is with reference to cartographic information
Whether 30a judges in the link outside path in section to include establishing correspondence with the information being located in SA or PA is indicated
Link.In the case where including with indicating that the information being located in SA or PA establishes the link of correspondence, control unit 20 is determined as
Section includes SA or PA outside path.
Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B (Fig. 3 C), Fig. 3 D indicate respectively user be detached from traveling predefined paths and in SA1,PA1,SA2It is suitable to stop
The case where example.Therefore, in these examples, control unit 20 be determined as in step s 200 outside path section include SA or
PA。
In step s 200, in the case where not being determined as that section includes SA or PA outside path, control unit 20 passes through
The processing of habit portion 21e, the outer section (step S225) of learning path.That is, what control unit 20 was rested in the section not outside path
In the case of be considered as without correcting, and the information adding in section outside the path that obtains in step sl 15 will be indicated to learning information
In 30d.
In step s 200, in the case where being determined as that section includes SA or PA outside path, 20 passage path of control unit
The processing of outer section acquisition unit 21c determines whether that intelligent interchange road (step S205) is utilized.That is, control unit
20 with reference to cartographic information 30a, the link in the outer section of decision paths whether with the letter that indicates intelligent interchange road
Breath establishes correspondence.Including and is indicating the case where information on intelligent interchange road establishes the link of correspondence
Under, control unit 20 is judged to that intelligent interchange road is utilized.
For example, in the example shown in Fig. 3 D, SA2It can including exiting road Re and intelligent interchange road Ri conducts
With the road exited from SA.In addition, section is shown when vehicle is from SA outside path2From intelligent interchange road when exiting
Ri is exited.Therefore, in example shown in Fig. 3 D, control unit 20 is judged to that intelligent intercommunication solid is utilized in step S205
Crossroad.Conversely, in the example shown in Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, SA1And PA1Only this is left including going to the road Re conducts of exiting of main road
Road is exited in a little regions, without including intelligent interchange road.Therefore, in these examples, control unit 20 is in step
It is not judged to that intelligent interchange road is utilized in S205.
In step S205, in the case where being judged to that intelligent interchange road is utilized, control unit 20 passes through
The processing of study portion 21e, the outer section (step S225) of learning path.That is, in the facility with intelligent interchange road
It in the case of not returning to main road after stopping, is estimated as facility in the running history and is not applied alone in rest, and be used as the one of path
Part.Therefore, in this case, there is learning value along the path stopped in facility.Therefore, intelligent interchange
The hobby that user is reflected using history on road, control unit 20 is by preferably search reflects in the Route guiding after next time
The path of the hobby.In addition, control unit 20 is considered as in this case without being modified, expression is obtained in step sl 15
Path outside section information adding to learning information 30d in.
In step S205, in the case where not being judged to that intelligent interchange road is utilized, control unit 20 passes through
The processing of section acquisition unit 21c outside path, whether the outer section of decision paths along the path stopped in SA, PA only by constituting (step
S210).That is, control unit 20 determines the SA or PA for being judged as being included in outside path in section in step s 200, and with reference to ground
Figure information 30a determine go to the SA or PA into approach Ra and that leaves the SA or PA exit road Re.
Then, control unit 20 is with reference to cartographic information 30a, and by the node into approach Ra in main road side, (SA or PA's is opposite
The node of side) it is determined as the fork place diverged from main road.In addition, control unit 20 will move out road Re's with reference to cartographic information 30a
Node (node of the opposite side of SA or PA) in main road side is determined as returning to the return place of main road.Then, in fork place
In the case of being present on traveling predefined paths with return place, control unit 20 is determined as that section is only by suitable in SA, PA outside path
The path stopped is constituted.
For example, in the example shown in Fig. 3 A, it is pre- that fork place Pb and return place Pr is present in traveling shown in solid
Determine on path.Therefore, in this case, control unit 20 be determined as section outside path shown in dotted line only by SA, PA along stopping
Path is constituted.Conversely, in the example shown in Fig. 3 B, fork place Pb and return place Pr are not present in traveling shown in solid
On predefined paths.Therefore, in this case, control unit 20 be determined as outside path shown in dotted line section only by SA, PA along stopping
Path constitute.
In step S210, being determined as section outside path only by the case where SA, PA are constituted along the path stopped, control
The processing of the outer section correction portion 21d of 20 passage path of portion, deletes section (step S230) outside path, and terminate at path learning
Reason.That is, outside path section only by the case where SA, PA are constituted along the path stopped, control unit 20 be considered as should not next time with
Reflect section outside the path in the search of traveling predefined paths afterwards, and deletes section outside path.In this case, not to learning
Information 30d adds new information.
Conversely, in step S210, it be not determined as that section is only by the case where SA, PA are constituted along the path stopped outside path
Under, the processing of the outer section correction portion 21d of 20 passage path of control unit is deleted from section outside path along the path (step stopped
S215).That is, control unit 20 from section outside path delete in step S210 determine from fork place to return place road
Diameter.For example, in the example shown in Fig. 3 B, control unit 20 deleted from section outside path shown in dotted line from fork place Pb to
Return to the section Z of place Pr.
Then, the section (step S220) outside the path connection path different from the suitable path stopped of control unit 20.That is, control
Portion 20 with reference to cartographic information 30a, search determined in step S210 in from fork place to the path for returning to place, with from
The different path in the path deleted in section outside path.For example, in the example shown in Fig. 3 B, due to from fork place Pb to
In the section for returning to place Pr, the section different from section outside path is only road R shown in Fig. 3 C1, therefore control unit 20 with
With road R1The mode of connection fork place Pb to return place Pr correct section outside path.As a result, outside path shown in Fig. 3 B
It is such that section is corrected for arrow shown in dotted line in Fig. 3 C.
After having carried out the amendment, control unit 20 executes step S225.Therefore, for being deleted along the path stopped in facility
Path outside section (dotted arrow etc. shown in Fig. 3 C) be appended in learning information 30d.If as previously discussed in this way, will
The learning information 30d learnt is reflected in the search of traveling predefined paths, then the section of dotted line shown in Fig. 3 C is easily searched
For path, but pass through PA from fork place Pb1The path for reaching return place Pr is not easy to be searched.Therefore, even if user
It is frequently utilized that PA1, in PA1It is obtained along the path stopped also not high for the possibility of search result.
