2. Description of the Related Art GIS (Geographic Information System)
ms: Geographic Information System) maps, street maps, road maps,
This is a system that associates and manages information on an arbitrary object with geographical position information and spatial information based on coordinate information such as latitude, longitude, and altitude on an electronic map showing a guide map and the like. In recent years, GIS has been applied in various fields using the Internet. For example, a server system that provides information on a plurality of stores in a region using GIS is operated for each region.

In the conventional GIS, there are two main methods for searching for information of each store, as follows.
One is to request map information indicating the location of a shop, if the location of the shop is known in advance, and to display an icon (mark) corresponding to the shop displayed on the map on the user's terminal screen. By clicking on the name or name information, the information corresponding to the store is called. Another is GI
Using the search software on S, enter various conditions,
This is a method of selecting shops.

In recent years, with the improvement of functions of portable information devices, a combination of a portable information processing terminal and a portable telephone, a PHS (Personal Handy Phone System) terminal, a portable telephone having an image display function, a PHS By using a terminal, etc., access GIS using wireless communication,
For example, it has become possible to obtain information related to a moving place on the spot. In addition, G
A system that incorporates a positioning device using a PS (Global Positioning System) and a wireless communication device and displays a map around a moving position and map-related information in real time by accessing a GIS has been put to practical use.

[0005]

By the way, in the conventional system as described above, map information around a moving position is displayed on a display screen of a portable terminal, and the position of an object such as a store nearby is displayed on the map. And information indicating the type can be displayed, but such display can be performed without complicated operation input.
Systems that perform almost automatically have also been put to practical use. However, even in such a system, when trying to obtain more detailed information of a certain object on the display screen, when a plurality of objects are displayed on the display screen, a plurality of displayed objects are displayed. It is necessary to perform some selection operation for selecting a target object from objects. For example, the display information corresponding to the target object is selected by moving the cursor using the cursor keys in accordance with the display information on the display screen, the selection is made by touching the display screen, or voice input. Or an operation to make a selection. In such an operation, there is a problem that the operation content at the time of selection may change depending on the number of displayed objects, a difference in a display position, and the like, so that the operation may be complicated. .

On the other hand, from the viewpoint of providing information, even if the user of the portable terminal is located at a point closest to an object, if the user does not perform a selection operation on the object, However, there has been a problem that information on the target object is not provided to the user. That is, in the conventional system, for example, a mobile terminal (portable terminal) that the customer has from the store side to the customer walking in front of the store without the user intentionally selecting the display information. There was a problem that it was not possible to actively convey the information of the shop.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides:

In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 3 includes a control unit 31 that controls each unit, and a display / operation input including a liquid crystal panel or the like that forms a touch screen with a touch panel mounted on the front while displaying characters and image information. Unit 32, a mobile communication network connection unit 33 including a transceiver for connecting to the mobile communication network 4, and the like, and for obtaining coordinate data such as latitude, longitude, and altitude indicating the current position of the mobile terminal 3. And a position information acquisition unit 34. The position information acquiring unit 34 acquires position information by receiving radio waves transmitted from a communication satellite by GPS, for example, or transmits from a plurality of base stations provided in the mobile communication network 4. That obtains position information by receiving a received control signal, or a combination of those devices with an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, a magnetic pole sensor, and the like for detecting an angle change occurring in the portable terminal 3. It can be. If the mobile communication network 4 can obtain the position information of the mobile terminal 3, the position information obtaining unit 34 can be omitted.
In addition, the mobile communication network connection unit 33 is not necessarily the mobile terminal 3.
The communication device may not be built-in, and may be configured to be equipped with a removable card type communication device, or may be configured to be connected to a communication terminal via a cable.

Next, the flow of information between the GIS server 2 and the portable terminal 3 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 shows that the GIS server 2 is connected from the mobile communication network 4 to the portable terminal 3a (corresponding to the portable terminal 3 shown in FIG. 1).
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a flow of information when the position information of the portable terminal 3 is acquired.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a flow of information when position information is acquired from the mobile terminal b (corresponding to the mobile terminal 3 illustrated in FIG. 1). In the configuration shown in FIG. 3, communication using a predetermined control signal is performed between each base station and the mobile terminal 3a using a plurality of base stations in the mobile communication network 4, and based on the communication result, The position information of the mobile terminal 3a is obtained by estimating the distance from each base station to the mobile terminal 3a. Therefore, the position information of the mobile terminal 3a is supplied directly from the mobile communication network 4 to the GIS server 2 in response to an information provision request from the GIS server 2, or is temporarily transferred from the mobile communication network 4 to the mobile terminal 3a. After being sent to 3a, it can be transferred to the GIS server 2. On the other hand, geographic information around the portable terminal 3a is transferred from the GIS server 2 to the portable terminal 3a via the mobile communication network 4 and the Internet service provider 5.

Next, in the configuration shown in FIG.
, A GPS receiver 34a for receiving radio waves from a plurality of satellites 9, 9,..., And an angular velocity sensor 34b for detecting a change in the direction of the mobile terminal 3b are installed in the mobile terminal 3b. Position information and angle change information are acquired. Therefore, the position information of the portable terminal 3b (in this case, information including both the position and the angle change information) is transmitted from the portable terminal 3b to the GIS server 2 via the mobile communication network 4 and the Internet service provider 5. Will be transferred. Then, the geographic information is transferred from the GIS server 2 to the portable terminal 3b via the mobile communication network 4 and the Internet service provider 5.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9, a processing procedure of each information in the information display system shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing, in chronological order, main information processing procedures when displaying information provided from the GIS server 2 on the portable terminal 3. However, in this case, the Internet service provider 5 and the GIS server 2 are connected by a dedicated line, and the Internet service provider 5 manages and operates the GIS server 2. That is, the mobile terminal 3 can automatically access the GIS server 2 and acquire information by accessing the Internet service provider 5 without performing a connection process to the GIS server 2.
In addition, the mobile terminal 3 is assumed to have a configuration for acquiring angle change information as shown in FIG.

Now, as shown in the projected view of FIG. 6, the user of the portable terminal 3 moves in the traveling direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.
It is assumed that the user is walking on a road R1 in which A restaurant B1 and B restaurant B2 are arranged side by side on the right side, and C restaurant B3 and D restaurant B4 are arranged side by side on the left side. Here, if the user opens the screen cover 35 of the display / operation input unit 32 of the mobile terminal 3, the display switch of the mobile terminal 3 is turned on. Here, the mobile terminal 3
Automatically sends a call to the access number (telephone number) of the Internet service provider 5, connects to the Internet service provider 5 (that is, the access control server of the Internet service provider 5), and registers the ID ( By automatically transmitting authentication information such as an identification code) and a password, the Internet 1 can be transmitted via the Internet service provider 5.
(Step S101 in FIG. 5). Next, the position information of the portable terminal 3 (in this case, the position information is provided with angle change information acquisition means, and is therefore composed of coordinate information indicating the position and angle change information generated at predetermined intervals. ) To the Internet service provider 5 (S10)
2). The Internet service provider 5 determines whether the change in the orientation of the mobile terminal 3, that is, the change in angle satisfies a predetermined condition, based on the received position information and the information on the change in angle (S 103). The predetermined condition of the angle change is a condition for determining whether or not the mobile terminal 3 is directed to any of the target objects (in this case, A to D restaurants B1 to B4) to be guided. Here, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 3 is not pointed at any object and remains in the traveling direction, and the condition is not satisfied.

If the conditions are not satisfied, the Internet service provider 5 sends the GIS server 2 to the portable terminal 3 to display information on the surrounding map corresponding to the current location information.
A signal requesting the provision of information on the surrounding map corresponding to the current position information is transmitted to (S105). GIS server 2
Retrieves and obtains the requested information from the database in its own server, and provides it to the Internet service provider 5 (S106). Based on the provided information, the Internet service provider 5 transmits the geographic information in a form adapted to the traveling direction of the mobile terminal 3, and
The simple guide information of the closest object is transmitted (S10).
7). Then, the portable terminal 3 displays the geographic information sent from the Internet service provider 5 on the display / operation input unit 32 (S108). FIG. 7 shows an example of a display state on the display / operation input unit 32.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, on the display screen, roads R1, A to D restaurants B1 to B4 shown in FIG.
1 is displayed. In this case, the symbol △ in the symbol P1 indicates the traveling direction of the mobile terminal 3 estimated based on the past position change. Along with them, simple guide information (simple introduction information of A restaurant B1) G1 of the closest object (A restaurant B1) is automatically displayed.

Thereafter, steps S102 to S108 are repeated, and the display information is updated every predetermined cycle or every predetermined moving distance. The target and the display position of the simplified guidance information G1 are sequentially updated so as to correspond to the target closest to the current position. For example, when C restaurant B3 is closest, simple introduction information G1 of C restaurant B3 is automatically displayed.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, in a state where portable terminal 3 is located at the position shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the user turns portable terminal 3 toward A restaurant B1. The change of the display information in the case will be described. In this case, A
FIG. 5 shows the change in the angle when turning to the direction of the restaurant B1.
Satisfies the predetermined condition determined in step S103 shown in FIG. The orientation of the mobile terminal 3 is A restaurant B1
When the position information is sent after being directed in the direction of (S10)
2) In the Internet service provider 5, it is determined whether the angle change of the mobile terminal 3 satisfies a predetermined condition based on the received position information (and the angle change information) (S103).

The conditions for determining the change in angle will now be described. The determination condition of the angle change is determined by the user using
Is a condition for detecting that the user is intentionally pointed at an arbitrary object whose guidance information is to be displayed. Such a condition can be considered to be, for example, a condition in which the direction of the mobile terminal 3 is intentionally changed to the direction of the target and corresponds to a state where the mobile terminal 3 is stationary in the direction of the target. The condition determination in this case is that, for example, an angle change having a certain magnitude (for example, an angle change of 30 ° or more) occurs within a fixed time (for example, within 1 second), and thereafter,
It is conceivable to show only a state where the angle change is relatively small (for example, 1 second or more) and the angle change is relatively small (for example, an angle change of 15 ° or less) or to add a condition for the change (acceleration) of the angle change. Can be As another condition determination, when the current traveling direction estimated based on the past change in the movement position of the mobile terminal 3 matches the direction of an arbitrary road or passage, the line or passage of the road is determined. It is conceivable that the condition is that the direction of the mobile terminal 3 has been changed by a predetermined angle or more from the direction of the line. Further, when there are a plurality of objects around the mobile terminal 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, based on the relative positional relationship between the position of the mobile terminal 3 and the angle with each of the objects. , A process of selecting an object to which the user is directed is performed.

The information on the angle change of the portable terminal 3 has a detector for the angle information such as an angular velocity sensor 34b as shown in FIG. In this case, information on the angle based on the output of the detector can be obtained by transferring the information from the mobile terminal 3 to the Internet service provider 5, but the mobile terminal 3 does not have the angle information detector. In this case, angle change information can be easily obtained as follows. That is, when the user holding the mobile terminal 3 makes a movement such as turning his arm based on the time change of the position information (the coordinate information of the position of the mobile terminal 3), the position of the mobile terminal 3 changes. However, it is possible to detect a change in the angle of the mobile terminal 3 by estimating that the change in the angle of the arm matches the change in the angle of the direction of the mobile terminal 3.

When it is determined whether or not the angle change of the portable terminal 3 satisfies a predetermined condition by using the above-described determination conditions, if the condition is satisfied, the Internet service provider 5 sends the request to the mobile terminal 3. A request is made for guidance information corresponding to the position and angle information (S104). That is, when a change in direction that satisfies a predetermined condition occurs in the mobile terminal 3, the mobile terminal 3 requests guidance information of an object (A restaurant B1 in this case) existing at a position corresponding to the changed direction. The GIS server 2 retrieves and obtains the requested information from a database in the server itself, and provides it to the Internet service provider 5 (S106). Based on the provided information, the Internet service provider 5 transmits, as geographical information, detailed guidance information of the object in the direction in which the mobile terminal 3 is directed (S10).
7). Then, the portable terminal 3 displays the geographic information sent from the Internet service provider 5 on the display / operation input unit 32 (S108). Display in this case
FIG. 9 shows an example of a display state on the operation input unit 32.

FIG. 9 shows a display example when the display / operation input section 32 displays the detailed guide information of the restaurant A1. In this case, since all the detailed guidance information cannot be displayed on one screen of the display / operation input unit 32 at a time, a scroll bar 321 is displayed. The information in a portion surrounded by a chain line is the scroll bar 321. Is displayed by operating. In this example, the display unit 322 of the title indicating that the detailed guide information is the guide information of the restaurant A, information effective when confirming that the current display information corresponds to the target object intended by the user Display unit 32 comprising image information such as an exterior photograph
3. Display unit 32 including image information indicating the state of the store such as interior photos or image information indicating the state of the displayed products.
4. Display section 325 of information updated on a daily or weekly or monthly basis such as today's recommended menu, display section 326 of information updated on a time basis such as reservation status, and normal menu, business hours, and seats The display unit 327 includes information that does not need to be updated frequently, such as numbers, telephone numbers, and credit card availability information. The condition for switching from the state in which the detailed guidance information of the target object is displayed as illustrated in FIG. 9 to the state in which the surrounding map is illustrated as illustrated in FIG. 7 is, for example, a predetermined input to the mobile terminal 3. The case where the operation is performed, the case where the position of the mobile terminal 3 moves by a certain distance or more, and the like can be performed.

In the processing procedure described with reference to FIG. 5, the Internet service provider 5 and the GIS server 2 are connected by a dedicated line, and the Internet service provider 5 manages and operates the GIS server 2. However, it is not always necessary to use such a management form. For example, the Internet service provider 5 performs data transfer processing and
Alternatively, another server that manages the GIS server 2 may perform data processing. That is, G
The IS server 2 or another server that manages the GIS server 2 performs an authentication process with the mobile terminal 3 and performs various processes such as determination of angle information of the mobile terminal 3 in the server. 3 may be prepared. In addition, simple guidance information G automatically displayed
1 is not limited to the information of the object closest to the mobile terminal 3; for example, in the example of FIG. 7, information of the restaurant A1 first, information of the restaurant C3 after a certain time, and so on.
It is also possible to automatically display information on a plurality of objects while switching display information one after another.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a description will be given of a processing procedure when updating the guidance information registered in the GIS server by accessing the GIS server 2 from the Internet access terminal 6 shown in FIG. . In the example shown in FIG. 10, as in FIG. 5, as an example, it is assumed that the Internet service provider 8 and the GIS server 2 are connected by a dedicated line, and the Internet service provider 8 manages and operates the GIS server 2. In this case, the database in the GIS server 2 has already been stored in the database of the GIS server 2 by the user of the Internet access terminal 6 as a name or icon displayed on the electronic map as information relating to (linking) the object on the electronic map. It is assumed that guide information and detailed guide information when an object is selected are registered. The detailed guidance information is in HTML (Hype
It is assumed that information described in rText Markup Language (RText Markup Language) and a data file such as image information is registered in a database in the GIS server 2 together with a description body in HTML.

First, the user I between the Internet access terminal 6 and the Internet service provider 8
D, an authentication process using a password or the like is performed (S20).
1). When the user selects the GIS information update processing from the function list provided by the Internet service provider 8 displayed on the display screen of the Internet access terminal 6 (S202), the access control server in the Internet service provider 8 The GIS server 2 requests geographic information registered by the user based on the authentication information of the user (S20).
3). The GIS server 2 transmits the requested information to geographic information (S204). The Internet service provider 8 transmits the received geographic information to the Internet access terminal 6 (S205). Then, the received current registration information is displayed on the Internet access terminal 6 (S206).

When the user enters the Internet access terminal 6
And enter the information to be updated and the communication content,
Update request information based on the information is transmitted (S20).
7). The Internet service provider 8 transfers the received update request information to the GIS server 2 (S20)
8). The GIS server 2 updates the registration information based on the received update request information (S209). Through the above procedure, the registration information registered in the predetermined database in the GIS server 2 is updated.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to display the geographic information corresponding to the current position on the portable terminal with a simpler operation than in the past. Further, in the mobile terminal, information on a store closest to the user can be displayed as information that automatically changes in accordance with the position of the user. In the above, the basic configuration of the information display system according to the present invention and the operation corresponding to each configuration have been described. However, an actual application example of the information display system according to the present invention is as follows, for example.

When constructing the information display system according to the present invention, first, a person at each store makes a home page introducing his / her own store. Next, the Internet service provider creates a GIS on the Internet for each region. Next, the person at each store pastes a home page introducing his / her store on the GIS created by the provider company, and pastes a link. Next, when the user turns on (or opens the screen) the mobile terminal held in his hand at the street corner, the map information automatically adjusted to the current position of the user is automatically displayed on the terminal. At this time, the map information in the terminal is also displayed in the same direction according to the direction of the mobile terminal. Next, on the map information of the user terminal, the introduction information of the shop closest to the point where the user is now is automatically displayed one after another. During walking, the information of the nearest shop is automatically replaced and displayed one after another, depending on the walking location. Here, the shop provides various kinds of guided contents to attract customers to the shop. Next, the user turns his or her mobile terminal to a store whose appearance is favorable. Then, the introduction information of the store to which the mobile terminal is directed is automatically displayed on the mobile terminal in hand.

According to this application example, it is difficult for a first-time shop to enter easily, but by using this system, the user can understand the inside of the shop and the atmosphere even at the first-time shop, and can easily enter. On the other hand, the store can easily draw a person walking in front of the house into the store. There are more opportunities for customers to pass by. In addition, even if the appearance of the store is not sudden, the possibility of the customer's entry can be increased by devising the content introducing the store. The system according to the present invention can be effectively used as a new approach in which the shop side actively provides shop information to people walking in front of the shop.

The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to those described above, and can be modified as appropriate, such as the configuration and operation, and the operation of each component performed or distributed by another configuration. For example, by capturing a change in the direction of the mobile terminal 3 as a three-dimensional change, when a plurality of objects exist in the building a plurality of times, the elevation angle of the mobile terminal 3 can be changed outside the building. It is also possible to specify an object to which the detailed guidance information is provided in accordance with the angle change. Further, the information selection based on the change in the orientation of the mobile terminal 3 may be performed using the operator of the mobile terminal 3 together, or alternatively, the selection based on the orientation and the one based on the operator may be selectively performed. . In addition, the direction of the map at the time of display may be switched at predetermined value intervals such as 90 degrees.
