oning System) By receiving radio waves from satellites,
It is a device that can accurately display the current position of a moving object such as a car, an aircraft, a ship, or the like, or a person having the device, in real time. Furthermore, recently, just setting the destination,
There is a car navigation system having a function of calculating a traveling route (moving route) to a destination. According to the calculation of the travel route, the user can confirm the optimal route such as the shortest distance or the shortest time to the destination only by inputting the departure place and the destination, for example. As a result, it is possible to confirm the position after confirming the optimal route, not only by merely confirming the position using the GPS,
Travel route calculation is one of the most effective functions for users.

However, there has been a problem that the same route cannot be reproduced by the car navigation provided in the vehicle on the travel route calculated by a PC at home. That is, even if the travel route from the same departure point to the same destination is calculated, the same travel route is used in other systems because the map data and calculation algorithm are different between the home PC and the car navigation system. It cannot be reproduced.

Further, in order to reproduce accurately, a driver (user) sets some relay points on the traveling route calculated by the PC by car navigation, and recalculates by the set car navigation. is there. However, in this method, it takes a lot of time to set the time until the driver runs, and the operation becomes very troublesome for the driver.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve such a technical problem, and an object of the present invention is to effectively reproduce a calculated moving route in another navigation system. is there.

As described above, the work of inputting the departure place 61 and the destination 62 using the PC 10 or the like, calculating the travel route, and confirming the route 63 on the map as shown in FIG. 3 has been performed. The travel route of the PC 10 often reproduces exactly the same travel route even if the departure point 61 and the destination 62 are similarly input in the car navigation in the vehicle due to differences in map data and calculation algorithms. I couldn't do that. In order to reproduce accurately, it is necessary to set some relay points on the traveling route in the car navigation and to recalculate by the car navigation, and it is necessary to perform a very troublesome operation. In the present embodiment, in order to eliminate the inconvenience, the traveling route calculated by the PC 10 can be recorded in the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 and can be easily transmitted to the car navigation 40 which is a car navigation.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of storing a travel route information file. In the present embodiment, in consideration of the convenience of the user, the travel route information file is stored in the card type semiconductor storage medium 30 with the determined file name of the predetermined directory, so that the user can By simply inserting the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 into the in-vehicle navigation 40, the traveling route calculated by the PC 10 can be automatically reproduced without setting work. FIG. 8 shows an example of the structure of this directory. The root (ROOT) directory 71 is managed in a hierarchical structure with a HIFI directory 72 used for audio, a VOICE directory 73 used for recording, and a position (POSION) directory 74 used for navigation. The file of the traveling route information calculated by the PC 10 of the present embodiment is stored in a position directory 74 under the root directory 71 with a file name of AutoRt.poi (AutoRt.poi).
i-file 75). When the in-vehicle navigation 40 finds the AutoRt.poi file 75 in the position directory 74, it automatically reproduces the travel route, displays the route on a map, and starts route guidance to the driver (user). Is configured.

Next, the flow of processing in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 shows a PC
10 shows a flow for calculating a travel route on the computer 10 and a flowchart for creating data for recording the calculated travel route information in the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30. First, the starting point is determined by the keyboard 19 and the mouse 20 of the PC 10.
(Step 101). Similarly, the destination is received from the keyboard 19 and the mouse 20 (step 102). The CPU 11 of the PC 10 sets a search condition (step 103) and performs a route calculation (step 1).
04). Next, the departure place information is written in a file of the card type semiconductor storage medium 30 (step 105). Note that P
It is also possible to write into the RAM 16 in C10 once, and to write to the card type semiconductor storage medium 30 when all the data is ready.

Further, the CPU 11 determines whether there is a route change point up to the destination 62 (step 10).
6). If there is a route change point, the route information up to the route change point is written in a file of the card type semiconductor storage medium 30 (step 107). Then, the information of the route change point is written to the file as the transit point information (step 10).
8). Thereafter, the process returns to the determination in step 106, and it is further determined whether there is a route change point. On the other hand, step 106
If there is no route change point, the route information to the destination 62 is written to a file of the card type semiconductor storage medium 30 (step 109), and the destination information is written to a file (step 110). A series of processes for recording information in the file of the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 ends. As described above, in the present embodiment, a point on the calculated traveling route where the road name, the type of road, or the like is changing is picked up as a route change point, and each time a route change point is found, the route information and It is possible to write location information, such as, to a file on the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for reproducing a route in the vehicle-mounted navigation 40. The travel route information calculated by the PC 10 by the processing shown in FIG.
And the travel route is reproduced by recalculating by the in-vehicle navigation 40. First, after the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 is inserted, the CPU 41 of the in-vehicle navigation 40 stores the traveling route information file (AutoRt.poi file 75) in the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30.
It is determined whether or not there is (step 111). If not, the process ends. If it exists, the information of the departure point 61 is extracted from the travel route information file,
Origin (search start point) is set (step 112). Next, the route information is extracted from the travel route information file, and Rout
e Condition (search condition) is set (step 113).
Then, the waypoint information or the destination 62 is extracted from the travel route information file, and the Route Destination (search end point) is extracted.
Is set (step 114). In addition, from Route Origin
A route search is executed under the Route Condition up to the Route Destination (step 115). It is determined whether the reading from the travel route information file has been completed (step 11).
6) Upon completion, all the searched paths are combined, displayed as one path on the LCD 46 (step 117), and a series of processing ends. On the other hand, if the processing has not been completed in step 116, the value of Route Destination is set to Route Origin (step 118), and the setting from step 113 is repeated. As described above, in the on-vehicle navigation 40 in the present embodiment, the traveling route information file (AutoRt.poi file 7
5), the departure point 61, the transit point, and the destination 62 are sequentially extracted, and between the departure point 61 and the transit point, between the transit points, and the transit point and the destination 62, respectively. The route calculation conditions are also read. Then, using the read route calculation condition as a search condition, a route calculation is performed for each route, and it is possible to reproduce a travel route that is exactly the same as the travel route calculated by the PC 10.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the automatic route reproduction process according to this embodiment. First, it is determined whether or not the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 has been inserted into the in-vehicle navigation 40 (step 121). If not, the process ends. If inserted, it is determined whether the AutoRt.poi file 75 exists in the position directory 74 of the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 (step 12).
2). If not, the process ends. If there is, the travel route is reproduced by the CPU 41 of the in-vehicle navigation 40 (step 123), and the reproduced travel route is displayed on the map of the LCD 46 (step 124). Then, the positioning by the GPS receiver 47 and the route guidance by the gyro 48 are started for the driver (user) (step 125).

As described above, there has been a demand for confirming a traveling route using a PC 10 or the like at home before traveling by car.
The exact route could not be reproduced due to differences in map data and calculation algorithm between the two, and the mutual use could not be effectively utilized. However, according to the present embodiment,
The travel route calculated by the PC 10 can be easily transmitted to the in-vehicle navigation 40 via the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30. Further, simply by inserting the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30 into the in-vehicle navigation 40, the traveling route calculated by the PC 10 is automatically reproduced, so that the driver (user) is troublesome, for example, to input all the relay points. It is possible to omit the work, the driver
It is possible to provide an excellent navigation system that is convenient for (users).

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the card type semiconductor storage medium 30 is used has been described.
The present embodiment is not limited to this, and it is possible to arbitrarily select a semiconductor storage medium other than a card type or a magnetic recording medium. In some cases, it is possible to transmit the travel route information via a wireless or wired network without media. However, according to the card-type semiconductor storage medium 30, it is not necessary to provide a large-scale drive device for reading and writing, and the medium is excellent in portability, and is very suitable for executing this embodiment.

Although the description format for recording the travel route is described using XML as an example, the present invention is not limited to this description format, and a recording format other than XML, such as HTML, may be employed. Further, the map data of the PC 10 and the in-vehicle navigation 40 are read from the CD-ROMs 14 and 44, but are not limited thereto.
It is also possible to use map data on optical recording media other than D-ROM, such as DVD and MO, magnetic recording media such as tape and hard disk, and semiconductor recording media. In addition, although the traveling route is described based on the road, the traveling route is not necessarily limited to this, and may be a route such as a ferry, a railroad, or a euro tunnel in Europe. In such a case, for example, the name of the port or the station
It will be. Further, although the traveling route information file is the AutoRt.poi file 75 in the position directory 74, another file name in a directory with another name may be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the method of reproducing the route calculated by the PC 10 by the on-vehicle navigation 40 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and is reproduced by a portable information terminal or a notebook PC other than the on-vehicle navigation 40. It is also possible. Conversely, the traveling route calculated by the in-vehicle navigation 40 may be configured to be reproduced by the PC 10, or may be configured to be reproduced by another car navigation, a portable information terminal, a notebook PC, or the like. It is possible. In the present embodiment, the departure place and the destination are configured to be input by the user. However, the departure place (current position) may be recognized by, for example, the GPS receiving unit 47, or the PC 10 may be set in advance. If the place can be registered, it is not necessary to input it every time the route is searched.

A program for executing each function of the present embodiment is stored in advance in each device (PC 10, on-board navigation 40), or a CD-ROM or the like in which these execution programs are stored. It is also possible to configure so as to read the program from the storage medium. In addition, by distribution using the Internet, etc.,
A mode in which the program is installed in the PC 10 or the like is also conceivable. In particular, in the PC 10, the functions according to the present embodiment will often be added later as an application program.
