Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<A> Printed matter. As described above, gourmet information magazines, travel information magazines, and other printed materials mainly include steaks and ramen for sale, or photos of hotel exteriors and pools, and articles and menus around the Examples are included for easy reading. In the system of the present invention, in particular, the latitude of a specific point, such as the store of the advertiser, along with such photos, articles,
And a latitude / longitude display field for displaying information indicating the latitude and longitude as a GPS code. This GPS code combines information consisting of 6 to 7 digits consisting of degrees, minutes and seconds indicating latitude, and information consisting of 7 to 8 digits consisting of degrees, minutes and seconds representing longitude. It is geographical coordinate display information, and a specific position can be displayed on a map of a display unit such as a system. Therefore, even if the destination is a place that the user does not recognize or is a frontier where a lot number is not originally attached, the destination can be specifically displayed on the map. In addition,
In addition to a general publication, a printout of Internet information with a GPS code can be considered as a printout.

<B> Input device for longitude and latitude information. The destination is selected from the various information (the photograph of the ramen, the photograph of the pool, etc.) in the above-mentioned printed matter. Since the latitude and longitude information is displayed together with the information, the input device inputs the information. This input device is usually integrated with the navigation device and forms a part thereof.

<C> Search device. The navigation device is further provided with a search device. This search device transmits a signal for searching map information from input latitude and longitude information to an information storage device described later, and from a large number of information groups stored in the information storage device,
This is a device for searching and extracting information corresponding to the latitude and longitude information. For example, based on the latitude and longitude information described in the frame of the ramen shop of the printed matter, the information of the corresponding ramen shop is searched from the vast information inside the information storage device.

<D> Information storage device. On the other hand, an information storage device as an information center is installed at a fixed position. The information stored in the information storage device is information corresponding to the latitude and longitude information described in the printed matter.
For example, information such as the name, telephone number, content, address, latitude and longitude (GPS code), digital map, and the like of the ramen shop of the printed matter is stored. This information is updated each time the information is updated in the printed matter. Therefore, all information that the advertiser wants to update in the printed matter, such as a change in the product handled, a change in the price, and the like, as well as the relocation of the store, are updated and accumulated as they are. Further, the advertiser who does not provide information on the latest printed matter is also deleted in the information storage device, so that there is no waste of searching for a store closed last week, for example, and there is no distrust of the printed matter. . From the vast amount of accumulated information, specific information can be searched for and called up by the search device based on the latitude and longitude information.

<E> Information taking means. When the information storage device searches for the relevant information, the relevant information, that is, the information corresponding to the input latitude / longitude information, is loaded into the navigation device. For this purpose, the information storage device has an information transmitting device, and the navigation device has an information fetching means. The transmission and capture of this information is performed by means other than the wire. For example, in addition to general communication, a mobile phone, digital broadcasting, short-range wireless communication, and the like are also conceivable.

<F> Display device. The navigation device is further provided with a display device. This display device is a device for displaying information taken from an information storage device, and employs a known liquid crystal screen or the like. This display device displays information corresponding to a printed matter and a digital map, or displays only information or only a digital map, but it is not necessary to directly display latitude / longitude information on a screen.

<G> Selection device. If a plurality of pieces of information are taken in, a selection device for selecting one of them is provided. For example, FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment in which not only the information corresponding to the input latitude / longitude information but also related information from the information storage device is taken in at the same time. Once a number of related information has been captured, a selection device is used to select the desired information from among them. The related information is, for example, “ABC Ramen” in Kawasaki as a search target, and the related information is information on other ramen shops in the Kawasaki area. Therefore, by selecting one restaurant in the Kawasaki area by the selection device, information on other ramen shops in the Kawasaki area can be simultaneously taken in.

<H> Guidance device. The navigation device is provided with a guidance device for guiding by GPS to a point corresponding to the information taken from the information storage device according to the search result of the search device. In other words, the guidance device is a device that specifies the route to the point selected by the above-described means and displays the route while displaying the position of the vehicle obtained by satellite navigation on the digital map displayed on the display device. . In this way, it is possible to reach the corresponding position based on the latitude and longitude information displayed on the printed matter.

[0018]

Since the navigation according to the present invention is as described above, the following effects can be achieved. <B> The navigation system of the present invention can immediately display various information corresponding to or related to the latitude and longitude information on the display device by inputting the latitude and longitude information displayed on the printed matter. , A GPS system can be used to accurately guide the user to a target position. <B> In addition, since the information taken from the information storage device is all the latest information updated in accordance with the issuance of a printed material, it has high reliability. <C> Because it does not depend on the house display or phone number,
Areas with too large a home display, areas without addresses such as sunrise spots, or even phone numbers can be reached accurately. <D> It is also possible to retrieve related information by inputting one latitude / longitude information, and to search for the relevant information.
Therefore, for example, by inputting the latitude / longitude information of the ABC ramen shop in Kawasaki, it is possible to take in information of many other ramen shops in the Kawasaki area. For this reason, it can be used to search for other ramen shops based on the latitude and longitude information of one shop, and a wide search is possible.
