For example, in the case of setting a route that traces the final destination via several sightseeing spots and searching for the route, the accommodation facility is reserved as described above for the final destination, and the surrounding parking lots are used at the transit spot. Make a reservation.

For this reason, the navigation device 20 includes a parking lot DB in the map data unit 27, and the control means 21 searches for a parking lot that can be reached by the shortest route from a point set as a waypoint.
In addition, if there is a dedicated parking lot at the place set as a transit point, it is sufficient to park it. Therefore, first, search for the presence or absence of a dedicated parking lot at the facility set as a transit point, and only park if there is no dedicated parking lot. Car search is performed.

  The reservation management server 30 makes an inquiry to the facility management device 50 through the availability check means 37, confirms the current free space and the number of reservations established, determines whether it is possible to secure a free space for the reservation, and the facility management device If it is determined by 50 that an empty space can be secured, the reservation management server 30 is notified of the establishment of the reservation as the reservation is established.

  At this time, the navigation device 20 preferably calculates the estimated arrival time to arrive at the parking lot from the route data of the route searched by the route search means 26, and the reservation management server 30 makes a reservation at the estimated arrival time. If it does in this way, it will become possible for another vehicle to park until it arrives, and it will become possible to improve the operation rate of a parking lot.

  Further, when the reservation management server 30 receives the reservation establishment notification transmitted from the facility management apparatus 50, the reservation management server 30 notifies the navigation apparatus 20 of the establishment of the reservation, and the navigation apparatus 20 makes a reservation on the display means 23. Is established and notified to the user. When the reservation is established, the control means 21 resets the point set as the waypoint until then to the parking lot where the reservation is established, and performs the route search again.

  Next, map data stored in the map data unit 27 will be described. The map data consists of display map data and network data necessary for route search.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the basic concept of network data. As shown in FIG. 3 (1), the map is not captured only at intersections, but guidance information (for example, bridges) effective at the points between intersections. , Rivers, buildings, gas stations, etc.) are captured by the concept of nodes, and nodes are connected by the concept of links. Therefore, a node indicates point data of map coordinates, and an intersection is a part of the node, while a link indicates line data and indicates a part of the road.

  By configuring in this way, at the intersection shown in FIG. 3 (2), it has data as a guide as effective guide information between the roads connecting the intersection number n and the preceding and following intersection numbers (that is, between two intersections). Can be made.

  FIG. 4 shows the column data of the node described above, and stores the attribute that distinguishes the east longitude and north latitude with respect to the node number, that is, the coordinates of the point, and valid guidance information (for example, bridge, river, building, gas station, etc.) as data. ing.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the intersection list, and its code number, intersection name, intersection number (number assigned only to the intersection among nodes), two connected node numbers as described with reference to FIG. 2 (2), Stores placemarks and attributes.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a parking lot list, which stores parking lot numbers, connecting intersection numbers, and coordinates.

  FIG. 7A shows an example of road data. As shown in FIG. 7 (2), road numbers are assigned to roads with directionality, and for each road number, the node number of the start point and end point, and the road number having the same start point is the next number. The road number with the same end point is the next number, road thickness, traffic prohibition information such as one-way traffic and vehicle traffic prohibition information, number of nodes, node string data, head address, etc. are stored .

  The facility management device 50 is a communication terminal that manages the facility reservation status provided in the parking lot and the accommodation facility. The facility management apparatus 50 includes a reservation management table 53 and communication means 52, and is connected to the reservation management server 30 to manage the reservation status of the facility. The facility management device 50 corresponds to, for example, a management system provided at the front in an accommodation facility, and the control unit 51 stores the reservation management table 53 in response to a vacancy inquiry from the availability inquiry unit 37 on the reservation management server 30 side. Refer to the availability.

  The inquiry about the vacancy may be artificial or may be made by operating on a telephone line. Further, the facility management device for the parking lot corresponds to a computer system for automatically managing entry and exit, and any device that can manage the current number of empty spaces and reservation status.

  The facility management device 50 of the accommodation facility manages the reservation status of the day using the reservation management table, but the facility management device 50 of the parking lot manages the reservation status for 24 hours. Accordingly, it is sufficient for the availability check means 37 to check the availability of the day for the accommodation facility, but for the parking lot, the time of arrival at the parking lot is designated and the availability is checked.

  Next, operation | movement of the navigation apparatus 20 concerning the Example of this invention is demonstrated using a flowchart. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the navigation device 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In the navigation device 20, the process starts when the route search is started in step S1. When the user sets a destination and starts route guidance, the route search means 26 searches for the shortest route to reach the destination by the Dijkstra method or the like, and route guidance is started.

  In step S <b> 2, the control unit 21 determines whether a waypoint is set in the route search.

  The data of the route searched by the route search means 26 is data including the road link to the final destination via the waypoint, the link cost (required distance or required time) of each road link, as in the case of a general navigation device. It is. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain the estimated arrival time at the waypoint and the estimated arrival time at the final destination based on the route data. And the reservation time of a parking lot or an accommodation facility can be set based on this estimated arrival time.

  If the waypoint is not set, the process proceeds to step S7. If the waypoint is set, the process proceeds to step S3.

  When the waypoint is set, first, it is determined whether or not there is a facility or landmark dedicated parking lot set as a waypoint in the process of step S3.

  The map data unit 27 in the navigation device 20 includes a facility DB, and determines whether there is a dedicated parking lot from the facility information stored therein. If there is a dedicated parking lot, it is sufficient to park here, so the surrounding parking lot is not searched, and the process proceeds to step S7.

  On the other hand, if there is no dedicated parking lot at the facility or landmark set as a transit point, reservation processing of the surrounding parking lot is performed. That is, in the process of step S4, the nearest parking lot is searched with reference to the set waypoint, with reference to the parking lot DB in the map data unit 27, and the empty state of the searched parking lot is inquired.

  As described above, the reservation management server 30 includes the availability status inquiry means 37. The availability status inquiry means 37 makes an inquiry to the facility management device 50 of the searched parking lot, and reserves based on the number of available spaces and the current number of reservations. Determine whether or not.

  When it is determined that the reservation is possible, the reservation management server 30 inquires of the navigation device 20 whether or not to execute the reservation. When the user instructs execution of the reservation, the reservation management server 30 makes a reservation by the reservation securing means 35. Is executed (step S5).

  At this time, the navigation device 20 calculates the estimated arrival time simultaneously with the route search and transmits the estimated arrival time together with the reservation ID to the reservation management server 30, and the reservation securing means 35 transmits the estimated arrival time to the facility management device 50. To do. When the reservation is secured, the process proceeds to step S6, the terminal device 20 resets the waypoint to the parking lot, performs route search again, and then starts route guidance.

  When the parking reservation process ends, the process of the navigation device 20 proceeds to the process of step S7, and then determines whether or not to reserve an accommodation facility around the final destination. For example, a message such as “Do you want to reserve accommodation around the final destination?” Is displayed to accept the user's selection. If a reservation (YES) operation is performed, the process proceeds to step S8, and the control means 21 extracts accommodation facilities around the final destination from the accommodation facility DB in the map data section 27.

  For example, a plurality of accommodation facilities that are within a radius of several kilometers from the point set as the final destination are extracted, and specific information on the accommodation facilities is transmitted to the reservation management server 30. The reservation management server 30 is provided with an availability inquiry means 37, and makes an inquiry to the facility management apparatus 50 of the accommodation facility from which the availability inquiry means 37 is extracted to determine whether there is an empty room.

  The facility management apparatus 50 that received the inquiry refers to the reservation management table 53 to determine whether there is a vacancy, and the facility management apparatus 50 that has determined that there is a vacancy notifies the navigation apparatus 20 via the reservation management server 30. In the process of step S9, the accommodation facility candidates are displayed and the user's selection decision is accepted.

  On the other hand, the facility management device 50 that has determined that there is no vacancy after referring to the reservation management table notifies the reservation management server 30 that the room is full, and in response to this, the reservation management server 30 selects the accommodation facility from the selection candidates. The user's selection decision is accepted.

  Therefore, the user can select an accommodation destination from the accommodation facilities that have vacancies, and the complexity of having to inquire about the availability of vacancies each time an accommodation destination is selected can be avoided.

  In addition, as a result of inquiring the presence or absence of vacancies for a plurality of accommodation facilities as described above, if it is determined that there are no vacancies from any of the candidate accommodation areas, the accommodation candidates are further expanded. That is, if an accommodation facility within a radius of 3 km has been extracted from the final destination, the search range is expanded to a radius of 5 km and the accommodation facility is searched.

  When the user selects a candidate, the process proceeds to step S10 to start the reservation process. That is, the accommodation facility specific information selected by the user is transmitted to the reservation management server 30, and when the reservation management server 30 receives the information, the reservation securing means 35 executes the reservation for the facility management apparatus 50.

  At this time, the reservation ID issuing means 36 issues a reservation ID and notifies the facility management apparatus 50 together with the accompanying information. The facility management apparatus 50 secures a reservation with the issued reservation ID and updates the reservation status in the reservation management table 53. To do. When the facility management device 50 secures the reservation, the facility management device 50 transmits a reservation confirmation signal to the reservation management server 30, and the reservation management server 30 notifies the navigation device 20 that the reservation has been secured and transmits a reservation ID to the navigation device 20.

  The user confirms the reservation by presenting the reservation ID transmitted upon arrival of the accommodation facility to the accommodation facility. The reservation ID is presented using the communication means 22 or a method of displaying the display screen of the navigation device 20 on which the reservation ID is displayed.

  When the reservation is established, the process proceeds to step S11, the terminal device 20 resets the accommodation facility as the final destination, performs a re-search, and starts route guidance.

  In this embodiment, the reservation process is performed when the route search is started. However, the reservation process may be automatically performed when approaching the destination. For example, when reserving a parking lot, it is conceivable that the reservation is executed when a certain time before the expected arrival time. Alternatively, the current location may always be measured by GPS, and the reservation may be executed when it is determined that the vehicle has entered a range of, for example, 5 km.

  For example, a parking lot reserved at the time of route search is specified, and information for specifying the parking lot is temporarily stored in a storage unit of the navigation device 20 (not shown). When the current position detecting unit 24 detects that the route point has approached a predetermined distance, the control unit 21 reads the specific information stored in the storage unit and transmits it to the reservation management server 30. The reservation management server 30 Make a reservation for 50.

  If it does in this way, it will become easy to avoid the situation where it cannot arrive at the reserved time by traffic congestion, a sudden route change, etc., and it will not reduce a turnover rate also as a parking lot. In this case, the navigation device always monitors the arrival time or the distance to the waypoint, and if the control unit detects that the predetermined time ago or approached the predetermined distance, the control unit instructs the reservation management server to execute the reservation. Good.
