TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for guiding around a station or the like, and more particularly, to a destination guidance system for providing visually easy-to-understand guidance using map information and photographed information.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of simply providing a map in front of a station has been often used as a method of providing guidance around a station. Further, as a system for providing guidance around a station, a system for providing guidance on nearby sights, shops, buildings, and the like using a touch panel is known.
[0003]
The map installed in front of the station merely shows the geography of the surrounding area, and does not provide guidance to the destination or search by name. On the other hand, according to the peripheral guidance system using a touch panel, it is possible to receive guidance by directly entering the name of the destination, or to receive guidance by selecting by category and finally selecting the name of the destination it can. This is a system that allows you to search for pre-registered data by name or category, and displays the registered destination information such as the destination address, telephone number, access method, etc. from the search result It is a system to guide you.
[0004]
Recently, there is a system for providing peripheral guidance using a GPS by a mobile phone, and a mobile phone capable of receiving a GPS service can receive a map of a surrounding area and a guide of a famous place from current position information (for example, Patent Document 1).
[0005]
[Patent Document 1] JP-A-2002-24458, FIG.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the peripheral guidance on the touch panel or the peripheral guidance on the mobile phone, detailed guidance information cannot be obtained unless the final destination name is clearly input or selected. This has a problem that, although the name of the destination is not known, even if the characteristics of the building are known, the guide information cannot be obtained because the name is not known.
[0007]
In addition, when going to the destination on a map (including maps displayed simply in front of stations, etc., as well as those displayed by mobile phones and other devices), check the directions on the map and check the buildings and maps. The road width is used as a landmark, but the information is only the name of the building from the guidance information or the relative road width compared to other road widths on the map, so actually go to that place When you look at it, there are many cases where you can't tell the sights from the buildings or the roads are narrower than expected. As a result, there is a problem that the route to the destination is lost. Furthermore, there is a problem that it is difficult for the elderly and children to reach the purpose by learning the name of the building or the name of the street.
[0008]
The purpose of the present invention is to provide guidance only from names and directions that can be imagined on a map as described above, and to display an outline of a real building, a road width, and an outline of an intersection by using actual photograph data, The purpose of the present invention is to provide a guide that can be visually grasped and is easy to understand.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
[0015]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a station square guidance system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the station square guide system includes a user terminal screen 101 for direct operation by a user, a main terminal device 102 (for example, a personal computer) for performing a process for actually displaying an image, A hard disk 103 having a database (DB) for storing data, an information acquisition device 106 for inputting detailed information which is map information and destination guidance contents, and detailed information of map information and destination guidance contents And a photographing device 105 for photographing a real photograph and sending the photographed image information to the administrator terminal device 104.
[0016]
FIG. 2 shows an example of the appearance of the front panel of the user terminal screen 101 of FIG. 1 and selection of items. Reference numeral 201 denotes a display, in which an initial (main) menu screen is displayed. Reference numeral 207 denotes a cursor displayed on the display. 202 to 205 are various buttons, and 206 is a cursor operation button. The user can move the cursor 207 to a target item with the cursor operation button 206 in response to the guidance displayed on the display 201. The item indicated by the cursor 207 is determined by pressing the determination button 203. The menu button 202 is a button for instructing to display the initial menu shown in FIG. The return button 204 is a button for instructing to return to the previous display content and display the content. The end button 205 is a button for instructing to end the operation.
[0017]
When the cursor 207 is moved to the first item “peripheral map” of the initial menu and the enter button 203 is pressed, options for selecting a map of which area around the station to display next (for example, “around the east exit” or “west west exit”) , Etc.) are displayed. The user selects a district from such options by a similar operation, and repeats the selection, so that a map of the district including the destination can be displayed on the display 201. When the map of the district including the destination is displayed, the user can determine the destination by moving the cursor 207 to the position of the destination and pressing the determination button 203.
[0018]
When the cursor 207 is moved to the second item “destination guide” in the initial menu and the enter button 203 is pressed, options such as “search by address” and “search by TEL” are displayed. When the user selects “Search by address”, address options are displayed. The user can narrow down the address by selecting options of the address, and display a map of the district including the destination on the display 201. Thereafter, the cursor 207 is moved to the position of the destination and the determination button 203 is pressed, whereby the destination can be determined. When "Search by TEL" is selected, a number is displayed, and the telephone number can be input by repeatedly pressing the enter button 203 with the cursor 207 at the number. The user can directly determine the destination by inputting the telephone number of the destination and pressing the decision button 203.
[0019]
The same applies to the "Famous place search" and "Restaurant search" of the initial menu, and the destination can be determined by selecting the displayed options. Further, although not shown, the initial menu includes an option of "category", and by selecting this, a destination can be searched by classification of various categories. For example, if you want to search for an office or department store, there are "office" and "department" options in the category menu, and a list of "office" and "department" is displayed by selecting them. The destination can be determined from them. In addition, as destination categories, features that are memorable by the five senses of a person, such as store layouts and wall colors, are also registered. Therefore, by selecting such a feature from the category menu, it is possible to search for and determine a destination (a target shop, building, etc.).
[0020]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of information that can be viewed when a user actually determines a destination and displays guidance.
[0021]
When the user determines a destination, the present system displays a map display 301 to the destination designated by the user (a map including the destination may already be displayed) on the display 201. The cursor 207 is set at the position of the determined destination 304. Also, the route from the station to the determined destination 304 is displayed by an arrow (for example, 305). Furthermore, the actual image display 302 of several spots (for example, shaded portions as indicated by 306) serving as landmarks on the route is sequentially displayed in a slide format. The real image at each point is devised so that when the point is an intersection on a route or the like, the real image is displayed at a display angle according to the traveling direction of the route. After completion of the route display, a real image display 302 of the destination pointed by the cursor 207 on the map and a destination detailed display 303 are displayed. The cursor 207 can be moved to a location such as a building or an intersection on the map by using the cursor operation button 206. When the enter button 203 is pressed after the cursor 207 is set, the position where the cursor 207 is set is newly recognized as the destination, and the destination is displayed as described above.
[0022]
As described above, the user searches for a destination by various search methods and presses the determination button 203 to display the route to the destination, the middle of the route, the photographed image display 302 of the destination, and the destination details. The display 303 can be referred to, and necessary information can be obtained. In particular, you can see live shots of several points along the route to the destination and live shots of the destination, so you can visually grasp the route to the actual destination in the scenery of buildings on the way. It is also easy to memorize. Furthermore, since the search by category can also be performed as described above, if the store setting, the color of the wall, and the like are stored in the memory, the target store can be searched even with such characteristics, and the name can be searched by referring to the actual image. Even if you do not know, you can easily and reliably find the desired store visually.
[0023]
FIG. 4 shows the configuration of each processing unit and data necessary for the main terminal device 102 to determine the content of guidance to be provided in accordance with a user's instruction. The main terminal device 102 includes a cursor control unit 410 that controls the operation of the user to select a decision item using the cursor operation button 206, a decision content processing unit 401 that processes the content selected by the user, and displays the determined content on the display 201. A display content determining unit 402 for determining an item to be performed, a data access unit 403 for acquiring actual data of the determined display content, and a display content creating unit 404 for creating content to be actually displayed from the acquired data.
[0024]
Each time the user instructs the decision with the decision button 203, the processing from the decision content processing unit 401 to the display content creation unit 404 is repeated to provide necessary information to the user. As described above, the cursor operation buttons 206 include the up, down, left, and right buttons, and by operating these buttons, the cursor moves to the item located above, below, left, and right of the item currently indicated by the cursor. In the movement on the map, the cursor control unit 410 controls so that the cursor moves only to the position on the map where the detailed information exists.
[0025]
In the DB 103 accessed by the data access unit 403, menu information 405, map information 406, destination detailed information 407, photographed image information 408, and route information 409 are registered as information necessary for display. In the map information 406, an internal key (such as an address) is set at a position that can be selected by the cursor 207, and the destination detailed information 407 and the actual image information 408 are associated with the internal key. Since a key such as a category to be displayed as the menu information 405 is also set in the destination detailed information 407, the destination detailed information 407 can be searched from the category information and the like. Furthermore, the associated actual image information 408 is acquired from the destination detailed information 407 and displayed.
[0026]
The main terminal device 102 includes a search auxiliary function unit 411 as an auxiliary function for searching for a destination. It provides a name input function when searching for a destination by name, a function to enter a part of the name to search and display multiple destination candidates, a telephone number input function when searching by telephone number, etc. This provides a function for directly searching for a destination.
[0027]
Each unit of the main terminal device 102 performs processing in accordance with the content determined by the user, and finally, the detailed information of the object and the photographed information are displayed on the display.
[0028]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a basic procedure in the main terminal device 102 until the user operates the user terminal screen 101 to obtain target information.
[0029]
First, the user selects, by using the cursor operation buttons 206 on the user terminal screen 101, an item that may include information to be known (S501). At this time, in the main terminal device 102, the cursor control unit 410 is performing processing. When the user decides the selected item with the decision button 203 (S502), in the main terminal device 102, the decision content processing unit 401, the display content decision unit 402, the data access unit 403, and the display content creation unit Processing is performed in 404, and information requested by the user is displayed on the user terminal screen 101.
[0030]
The user checks the displayed content based on the content determined by the determination button 203, and determines whether the target information has been obtained (S503). In this case, if all the target information has been obtained, the process is terminated, and if not, the same operation is repeated from the cursor operation in S501 again (S504).
[0031]
In this way, any user (even an elderly person or a child) can easily understand a route to a destination by simply repeating a predetermined simple operation, and can obtain detailed information on the destination. .
[0032]
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing processing in the administrator terminal device 104 for storing data in the database 103.
[0033]
The administrator terminal device 104 has an external data acquisition unit 601 to take in map information, destination detailed information, and real image information from outside. The external data acquisition unit 601 acquires external data from each medium (digital camera, CD-ROM, etc.). The data acquired from the outside needs to be stored in the DB 103 in association with each other, and the data association application unit 602 performs the association.
[0034]
FIG. 7 shows a specific example in which map information, destination detailed information, photographed image information, and route information are stored in a DB in association with each other. Reference numeral 701 denotes map coordinate data representing an actual map on coordinates. Since there are a plurality of maps, each map coordinate data 701 is specified by a map ID. In each of the map coordinate data 701, the position of a destination, or the position of an intersection where a photographed image useful for guidance along a route to the destination is registered is determined, and the coordinates of those positions are acquired. In the map coordinate data 701 of FIG. 7, the positions of the circles are such positions, and the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of each position are illustrated. Since those positions can be specified by a map ID and an X coordinate and a Y coordinate in the map, the map ID, the X coordinate, and the Y coordinate of the position are stored in the map data 702. Further, in the map data 702, addresses at respective positions are stored in association with each other.
[0035]
Route 1 and route 2 in the map data 702 are columns for storing route information of each position. As the route information, the coordinates of the position immediately before the position in the route from the station to the position are stored. For example, the position of the coordinates (23, 13) in the map coordinate data 701 is stored as a record in the first line of the map data 702, and the coordinates (20, 17) of the route 1 are coordinates from the station. The coordinates correspond to the position immediately before the coordinates (23, 13) in the route to (23, 13). With such route information, each position in the route from any destination to the station can be found retroactively by the map data 702, so that the route from the station to the destination can be obtained. In addition, since the route from the station to the destination may have another route other than the recommended route, a route 2 which is another route may be set in addition to the route 1 which is the recommended route. Here, since the way of seeing an intersection or the like differs depending on which route the vehicle has taken, a column of “route” is provided in the actual image data 705, and a plurality of actual image data viewed from different directions are registered at the same point. Is also good. In the example of FIG. 7, “Tokyo 3 chome 3-1” (CC intersection) is seen when coming from route (6, 13) and when coming from route (14, 6). Are registered.
[0036]
Also, since the station is always the starting point, the route 1 and the route 2 of the record of the map data 702 corresponding to the position of the station are blank. In addition, as the information of the station serving as the departure point, a plurality of points such as “station east exit” and “station west exit” may be registered.
[0037]
The above-described map coordinate data 701 and map data 702 correspond to the map information 406 and the route information 409 in FIGS.
[0038]
Reference numeral 703 denotes destination detailed data corresponding to the destination detailed information 407. The destination detailed data 703 includes, for each position registered in the map data 702 such as a destination (not necessarily all of them), a name of the position (a building name, an intersection name, etc.) using an address as a key. It is a table in which a plurality of categories are stored in association with each other. The destination detailed data 703 and the map data 702 are associated by an address. Although not shown, it is assumed that telephone numbers are stored in the same manner as categories. For a position without a telephone number, it may be left blank.
[0039]
The photographed image data 705 is a table in which, for each position registered in the map data 702, an actual photographed ID is stored in association with an address as a key. The real image ID is an ID for specifying the real image data 704. The real image data 704 is image data of an actual real image. In addition, when a photographed image oriented in a plurality of directions is required for one position, the photographed image is stored for each direction. The actual image data 705 and the actual image data 704 correspond to the actual image information 408.
[0040]
With the above data, the destination specified on the map can be displayed on the user terminal screen 101 in association with the destination detailed information and the actual photographing information.
[0041]
Further, in the administrator terminal device 104 in FIG. 6, a menu can be created by the data association application unit 602 and the data creation unit 603. At this time, a menu is created in association with the category and the address.
[0042]
FIG. 8 shows a specific example of menu creation and association with data. Reference numeral 801 denotes menu data corresponding to the menu information 405 in FIGS. The menu is created by creating the menu data 801. First, “main” to be displayed as an initial menu is set as a key first, and the contents of the menu to be displayed are set in order of menu 1, menu 2,. If there is a submenu, the submenu is set in the menu data 801 in the same manner. At this time, the key is the name of the menu (menu 1, menu 2,...). For example, when "peripheral map" is selected from the first initial menu, a "peripheral map" menu is displayed as a submenu. The menu of the “surrounding map” is a menu having items such as “around the east exit” and “around the west exit”.
[0043]
As a result of the user performing a selection decision operation in the menu, if the next display is not the submenu but the actual destination information, the data is set to the category or address using the destination information as a key. Keep it. Thus, when the destination is determined, by searching the destination detailed data 703, the map data 702, and the photographed data 705 from the category or the address, it is possible to obtain each information on the destination.
[0044]
FIG. 9 shows a procedure of a route display method in the main terminal device 102.
[0045]
First, the destination address determined on the user terminal screen 101 is acquired from the destination detailed data 703 (S901). Next, coordinates and route information are acquired from the map data 702 using the acquired destination address as a key (S902). As described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, as a method for the user to determine the destination by operating from the initial menu, (1) display the surrounding map and directly move the cursor to the destination on the map. Method of pressing the determination button together, (2) Method of determining destination by searching by address or phone number, (3) Method of determining destination by selecting by category such as search for places of interest or restaurant search, etc. There is. In the case of (1), the coordinates of the destination on the map are designated, and by searching the coordinates from the map data 702, the address and route information corresponding to the coordinates can be obtained. Further, by searching the obtained address from the destination detailed data 703, detailed data such as a corresponding name can be obtained. In the case of (2), since an address and a telephone number are specified, detailed data such as the corresponding address and name can be obtained by searching them from the destination detailed data 703. Further, by searching the acquired address from the map data 702, it is possible to acquire coordinates and route information corresponding to the address. In the case of (3), the address and name of the destination can be acquired from the category specified by the user with reference to the destination detailed data 703. Further, by searching the acquired address from the map data 702, it is possible to acquire coordinates and route information corresponding to the address. As described above, in any of the cases (1) to (3), the address, coordinates, route information, and the like of the selected destination can be acquired from the destination detailed data 703 and the map data 702 as shown in S901 and S902.
[0046]
The processing from S903 to S905 is processing for acquiring the route from the destination to the departure point (station) by sequentially following the coordinates of the route information registered in the map data 702. For example, in the case of the coordinates (23, 13) of the destination, since the coordinates (20, 17) are registered in the route 1 of the record of the coordinates of the map data 702, the process proceeds from S903 to S904, and the X coordinate 20 , Y coordinate 17 is retrieved from the map data 702, and the address of the record and the coordinates (17, 17) of the route 1 are obtained. The acquired address is registered in a predetermined work area on the memory in S905. In addition, since the coordinates (17, 17) of the route 1 have been obtained, the process proceeds from S903 to S904 again, and next, the record of the X coordinate 17 and the Y coordinate 17 is searched. When such a process is repeated and a record in which a route is not registered is acquired, it becomes a departure point (station).
[0047]
When the route to the departure point (station) can be obtained, the address is taken out of the predetermined work area on the memory in the reverse order of following the departure point (station), and the destination address and the detailed destination data 703 are taken with the taken out address. The data 704 is searched, and the obtained information is displayed (at this time, an arrow is inserted in the route from the station to the destination) (S906 to S908). Thereby, the route from the station to the destination can be displayed on the user terminal screen 101 in a slide format as described with reference to FIG. Finally, the information of the selected destination is displayed on the user terminal screen 101 (S909).
[0048]
The above is the method of displaying the recommended route based on the registration information of the route 1. However, when the user designates the display of another route, the point where the route 2 is registered in the map data 702 is the side of the route 2 May be searched with priority, and another route from the station may be displayed.
[0049]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of an editing function performed by the data association application unit 602 of the administrator terminal device 104. Information registered in the DB 103 can be added, updated, and deleted by this editing function.
[0050]
First, it is determined whether it is new registration or other (update, delete) (S1001). If it is new, a map ID such as a destination and an intersection, coordinates, an address, and route information are registered in the map data 702 (S1002). Next, the address, name, and category of the position are registered in the destination detailed data 703 (S1003). Further, real image data 704 at the position is registered (S1004), and real image data 705 for associating the real image data 704 with the address is registered (S1005).
[0051]
In the case of deletion, the process proceeds from S1001 to S1006 and S1007, and the record designated as the deletion target is deleted from the destination detailed data 703 (S1007). The record in the photographed data 705 associated with the record and the photographed image data 704 associated with the record in the photographed data 705 are also deleted (S1008).
[0052]
In the case of updating, the process proceeds from S1001 to S1006 and S1009, where the destination detailed data 703 is updated (S1009), the photographed data 705 is updated (S1010), and the photographed image data 704 is updated according to the instructed update. Update (S1011). For example, when the name of the destination is changed, the name of the destination detailed data 703 may be updated, and when the building is newly renovated, the photographed image data 704 may be updated. Further, when the route from the station to the destination is changed, for example, when a shortcut is made to the destination, the related route information in the map data 702 may be updated.
[0053]
The associated data is made storable in the database 103 by the data creation unit 603, and is stored in the actual database 103 via the data access unit 403 of the main terminal device 102.
[0054]
In the above embodiment, the case where the number of the main terminal device 102 and the number of the user terminal screens 101 is one has been described. However, a plurality of the user terminal screens 101 are prepared, and the plurality of The user terminal screen 101 may be configured to be controlled. Also, the user terminal screen 101 has been described as having a configuration including a display and buttons, but any form may be used as long as there is a display for displaying information and an operation unit operated by the user. For example, a touch panel or the like can be applied. In addition, the actual image at the position on the way to the destination is displayed as a slide, and then the actual image at the final destination is displayed. It may be displayed each time.
[0055]
Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the guidance system set in front of the station but also to other navigation systems.
[0056]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a photographed image of a destination or a position on the way to the destination is displayed, so that anyone can easily and visually provide guidance on the destination and route guidance to the destination. Can receive.
[0057]
For example, even if you do not know the name of the destination, you can visually find it from the characteristics and appearance of the building, and find the route to the destination on the map, and find buildings and intersections that are likely to be landmarks Because it is possible to check the actual photograph, it is easy to find the actual building or intersection, and as a result, it is easy to reach the destination without getting lost. That is, it is not necessary to completely memorize the names of the buildings and the names of the intersections, and it is only necessary to memorize them together with the sight, so that even elderly people and children can easily recognize the destination and reach the destination.
[0058]
In addition, since map information, detailed information of destination guidance, and actual image information are managed by separate tables in a database, changes can be easily made, and as a result, maintenance costs can be reduced. it can. Furthermore, since the guide information can be increased at any time only by registering the coordinates and the address in the map information, the guide information can be easily enhanced.
