Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for displaying a cursor on a position information image such as a map or a floor plan and displaying a live-action image corresponding to the display position of the cursor in cooperation with each other.

  From the past, calculate the optimal route between the starting point and the destination, and display the cursor indicating the current position along the optimal route on the map in order, so that the user can move appropriately even on unfamiliar land. A vehicle navigation system exists.

In recent years, as broadband Internet usage has become widespread, it has become easier to handle large volumes of data such as maps and videos, so it is easy to provide landscape information based on live-action video according to the location on the map. It has become. For example, in Patent Literature 1, when a vehicle travels along a route guided by a guide arrow on a map screen of an area searched by a use terminal, a road traffic visual image that can be seen when the vehicle actually passes through the road in synchronization therewith. A technology related to a system for displaying the image is disclosed.
Japanese Patent No. 3809901

  However, although a technique for displaying an image traveling on a road in synchronization with the movement of a guide arrow on the map has been disclosed, information related to a specific location displayed during the travel is displayed on the map or image. Since it is not displayed, there was a problem that the exact location of the specific location could not be grasped.

  Also, there is no consideration for an automatic video playback method for viewing a landscape that does not require the user to specify the departure / destination and repeated travel directions, so the user must enter the travel direction each time. There was a problem that had to be done.

  Furthermore, since the system is based on the position coordinates of an outdoor map and the height is not considered, there is a problem that the position coordinates of each floor such as an indoor floor map cannot be distinguished.

  Also, when switching an outdoor location information image to an indoor location information image, the direction in which the switched indoor location information image is displayed is not taken into consideration, so it is difficult to recognize what is in which direction. There is a problem that it is difficult for the user to instantly grasp the position and direction. Furthermore, even when the display direction of the position information image is taken into account, the display direction of the character string given on the position information image is also changed, so that the readability of the character string is reduced depending on the rotation angle. There was a problem to do.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the information regarding the predetermined place which exists on a positional-information image can be shown effectively, and the information can be provided more simply.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the video display system according to the present embodiment. The video display system according to the present embodiment includes a client terminal 100 and a server device 200 that can communicate with each other via a communication network 300. Hereinafter, each part which each comprises the server apparatus 200 and the client terminal 100 is demonstrated.

  The server device 200 stores images, videos, and the like to be displayed on the client terminal 100. Specifically, a position information image representing a location corresponding to position information such as a map or a floor plan in a building is stored. An image storage unit 210 for storing, an intersection information storage unit 220 for storing intersection information according to position information, and a moving image storage unit 230 for storing videos taken while moving outdoors and indoor scenery. And a peripheral information storage unit 240 that stores the mark corresponding to the position information and information related to the mark in association with each other.

  The client terminal 100 reproduces a video on an image control display unit 110 that displays a position information image, a moving image control display unit 120 that reproduces and displays a video, and a position information image corresponding to a place where the video is reproduced and displayed. The video / image linkage unit 130 that displays a cursor in synchronization with each other, the marks corresponding to the video shooting start location to the video shooting end location, and information related to the mark are displayed on the displayed video and the position information image. It is the structure provided with the peripheral information control display part 140 to display, and the input part 150 which inputs operation from a user. The client terminal 100 can access an address assigned to the server device 200 via a browser installed in advance, and can be executed on a program operating on the browser or a plug-in installed in advance. Module is preloaded.

  As the communication network 300, for example, a local area network (LAN), the Internet, a public line network, a cable television network, or the like can be used. The Internet is a collection of networks linked to each other based on a predetermined protocol.

  Next, the processing operation of the video display system according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the video display system according to the present embodiment.

  First, the input unit 150 receives input of the target area and the current intersection ID in the area (step S100). For example, when the user inputs the target area “Tokyo” and the current intersection ID “A”, the input unit 150 transmits them to the image storage unit 210 as URL arguments.

  Next, the moving image control display unit 120 reads the intersection information of the target area from the intersection information accumulation unit 220 (step S101).

  Further, the image control display unit 110 reads out the position information image centered on the current intersection ID from the image storage unit 210 and displays it (step S102).

  Here, an example of an image displayed by the processing of step S101 and step S102 is shown in FIG. A map centering on the intersection ID “A” is displayed based on the coordinates corresponding to the intersection ID “A”.

  Then, the moving image control display unit 120 displays a cursor on the coordinates on the position information image corresponding to the current intersection ID (step S103). For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, a cursor “+” indicating the current position is displayed near the intersection ID “A”.

  In addition, the moving image control display unit 120 searches the intersection information read in step S101 for the current intersection position and the next intersection position, and displays an arrow in a direction in which there is a next intersection that can be moved from the current intersection. (Step S104). For example, when the intersection information stored in the intersection information storage unit 220 is the intersection information data shown in FIG. 3B, as shown in FIG. 3A, the next move is possible from the intersection ID “A”. An arrow is displayed in the direction in which the intersection ID “B”, the intersection ID “D”, the intersection ID “E”, and the intersection ID “F” exist.

  Next, when an arbitrary arrow is designated among a plurality of arrows displayed via the input unit 150 by the user, an intersection to be moved next is determined (step S105). For example, when the user wishes to move from the intersection ID “A” to the intersection ID “B”, the user clicks the arrow pointing in the upper right direction.

  Then, the moving image control display unit 120 reads from the moving image storage unit 230 a video of the moving scenery from the current intersection to the next intersection, and reproduces and displays it (step S106).

  Then, the moving image / image linkage unit 130 calculates the reproduction time of the reproduced video and the inter-coordinate distance between the coordinates of the current intersection and the coordinates of the next intersection, and divides the inter-coordinate distance by the reproduction time. Thus, the distance traveled per unit time is obtained, and the cursor is moved from the current intersection on the position information image to the next intersection while being synchronized with the reproduction of the video (step S107).

  For example, in the case of the intersection information data shown in FIG. 3B, the video file that captures the movement from the intersection ID “A” to the intersection ID “B” is the video file name 1. Since the coordinates of the intersection ID “A” are (200, 200) and the coordinates of the intersection ID “B” are (300, 100), the distance from the current intersection to the next intersection is about 141 pixels. Here, when moving the cursor every second of the video file, assuming that the playback time of the video file is 4 seconds, the moving image / image linkage unit 130 moves the cursor to the intersection ID “A” about every 35 pixels. To the direction of intersection ID “B”. In the case of a method of partially reading the position information image in accordance with the movement of the cursor, the position information image centered on the current position is read from the image storage unit 210 and displayed.

  Subsequently, when the cursor displayed on the position information image is moved by the moving image / image linkage unit 130, the peripheral information control display unit 140 is based on the video file name of the video being reproduced. Is searched (step S108).

  Then, if a time that coincides with the playback lap time is described, the peripheral information control display unit 140 displays a mark corresponding to the video from the shooting start location to the shooting end location for a specified number of seconds, and information on the mark. Is displayed on the video being reproduced (step S109).

  For example, the peripheral information control display unit 140 inquires of the peripheral information storage unit 240 about the presence or absence of peripheral information every second when moving the cursor while reproducing the video of the intersection ID “B” from the intersection ID “A”. When the peripheral information data related to the video stored in the peripheral information storage unit 240 is the data shown in FIG. 4B, the time (playback lap time) from the start of playback of the currently played video file name 1 is T1. When T1 is reached, the mark and the balloon are displayed while moving from the coordinates (300, 100) to (10, 150) on the video as shown in FIG. Note that the balloon includes thumbnail image information, character information, and the like regarding the mark.

  The peripheral information control display unit 140 displays a spot mark in advance on the position information image, and determines whether or not there is a spot (mark) within a predetermined range from the cursor on the position information image. As a result of searching from 240, if there is a mark within a certain range from the cursor, a part of the explanation about the mark, a thumbnail image, etc. are displayed as a balloon at the coordinates where the mark is located on the position information image. When the movement is out of the predetermined range, the balloon display is stopped (step S110).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, when the cursor moves from the intersection ID “A” to the intersection ID “B”, as a result of inquiring peripheral information data every second, the radius is within 100 pixels from the cursor. When there is content 1, a balloon is displayed at the mark on the content 1 coordinate. When the content 1 deviates from the cursor radius of 100 pixels, the balloon display is stopped. If there are many landmarks within a certain range from the cursor, they may be displayed at random or those with a predetermined priority may be displayed first.

  Next, when the cursor has not arrived at the next intersection, the process returns to step S106, and the processes from step S106 to step S110 are executed (step S111).

  On the other hand, when the cursor has arrived at the next intersection, the video playback ends, and when the user designates not to continue the processing from the input unit 150, the processing of the client terminal ends and continues. In this case, the process returns to step S100 (step S112).

  When returning from step S112 to step S100, the intersection ID at the time of arrival becomes the current intersection ID. If it is desired to change the current intersection ID, a new intersection ID may be designated from the input unit 150 again. In that case, since the already read intersection information data is used as it is in step S101, if it is desired to specify data of another area, the target area may be input again. In step S102, when there is a shortage in the position information image of the map / floor map that has already been read, the reading of the target position information image is executed again. If the center on the position information image is the same as the current intersection ID, the process of step S103 can be omitted.

  Note that the processing operations described in steps S100 to S112 are described in the case of the manual mode in which the user determines the direction in which the user can move for each intersection. However, the current movement after the arrival at the next intersection is described. An automatic mode for determining the next moving direction based on the direction may be designated. That is, as shown in step S113 of FIG. 2, the moving image control display unit 120 displays the arrow to the next intersection position after the reproduction and display of the video ends and the cursor arrives at the next intersection, Next, the angle between the direction in which the movable intersection exists and the previous movement direction is calculated, and the intersection having the closest direction, that is, the intersection having the smallest angle is determined as the next intersection. In addition, since the automatic mode is a mode in which the cursor is automatically moved to appreciate the landscape, the next intersection can be determined by selecting a movable intersection that satisfies predetermined conditions. Any method may be used.

  Next, functions further provided in the image control display unit 110 will be described. FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the image control display unit 110 of the video display system according to the present embodiment. The image control display unit 110 receives an indoor / outdoor designation by the user from the input unit 150, and an indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 that switches between outdoor and indoor image display, and a user from the input unit 150 The indoor layer display switching unit 112 that switches the display of the indoor layer in response to the specification of the indoor layer, and the rotation specification of the position information image from the input unit 150, and the position information image corresponds to the moving direction. A rotation display unit 113 for rotating the position information image, a character display unit 114 for displaying a character string on the position information image independently of the rotation according to the rotation display of the position information image, and an image display unit for displaying the position information image. 115.

  Next, the processing operation of each unit shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

  The indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 has a special mark on the building on the position information image while the outdoor position information image is being displayed, and the interior of the building is displayed when the mark is designated with a mouse or a finger. Switch to the indoor location information image that shows.

  More specifically, if there is a special mark in the building represented on the position information image during execution of steps S103 to S110 using the indoor position information image, the mark is input. When the user clicks with the mouse through unit 150, indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 switches from the outdoor positional information image to the indoor positional information image. At this time, the indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 temporarily holds the outdoor cursor position and video playback lap time before switching. For example, in the case of the indoor data shown in FIG. 3C, the “indoor” mark appearing on the building i on the map is at the outdoor coordinates (400, 150) of FIG. When the “indoor” mark is clicked with the mouse, the indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 switches to an indoor position information image as shown in FIG. 6 and a cursor is displayed at the indoor intersection ID “1st floor-K”. The

  Conversely, when a special mark is clicked with the mouse through the input unit 150 during the execution of steps S103 to S110 using the indoor positional information image, the indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 causes the indoor positional information to be displayed. It is also possible to switch from an image to an outdoor location information image. For example, if the mouse clicks on the “outdoor” mark shown in FIG. 6, the vicinity of the building i centering on the outdoor intersection ID “B” in FIG. 3A is shown based on the indoor data shown in FIG. The display is switched to the position information image, and the cursor is displayed at the intersection ID “B”. If the cursor position or video playback lap time on the outdoor location information image that was being processed is temporarily held before switching the indoor location information image, the cursor position and video playback are based on that information. And switch in a state that reproduces.

  As another indoor / outdoor position information image switching method different from the above, when a special intersection ID is provided from the outdoor (indoor) intersection ID and the direction is selected, the indoor (outdoor) position is changed. It is also possible to switch to an information image. For example, when the direction of the intersection ID “building i-G” is selected from the intersection ID “B” shown in FIG. 3A, the indoor / outdoor image display switching unit 111 displays the indoor position information image shown in FIG. It is also possible to switch.

  When the rotation display unit 113 is designated to rotate the position information image via the input unit 150 at any point in the processing step shown in FIG. 2 before switching from the outdoor to the indoor position information image. The indoor position information image is rotated and displayed so that the moving direction is at the top. For example, the position information image shown in FIG. 7 is a floor diagram rotated so that the moving direction is at the top. On the other hand, when the rotation of the position information image is not designated, as shown in FIG. 6, the same direction as that displayed in the outdoor position information image, that is, the upper direction is north. Display the indoor location information image. Even in the case of an outdoor position information image, if there is an instruction for rotation, the map can be rotated and displayed so that the moving direction is at the top, as described above. is there.

  In addition, when rotating a position information image, the coordinate used as the rotation axis on a position information image is predetermined. If the coordinates serving as the rotation axis are not determined, the center coordinates of the position information image may be used as the coordinates of the rotation axis. Alternatively, when the current position is displayed as the center of the image, the coordinates of the current position may be the coordinates of the rotation axis. Further, when rotating the position information image, it is necessary to change the position where the peripheral information or the like is displayed at the place represented on the position information image, and thus it is necessary to perform coordinate calculation. Since the specific coordinate calculation method of the position information image is the same as the coordinate calculation method in the case of rotating the position of the character string display shown on the position information image, which will be described later, description thereof is omitted here.

  When a character string such as a store name is given in the building, if the position information image is rotated and displayed, the character string is also rotated and displayed due to the rotation as shown in FIG. May not be able to accurately grasp the rotated characters. Therefore, the character display unit 114 overwrites and displays the character string that prevents the character string from being rotated on the rotated reference image in which other than the character string is described. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the image without the character string is rotated, and the character string of each store displayed on the image before the rotation is the image after the rotation. As shown in FIG. 8C, the coordinates corresponding to the coordinates on the upper side are grasped and displayed so as not to rotate the character string at each store of the rotated image. More specifically, the character string display on the image after rotation in the case where it is specified that the north-facing floor plan is a reference image and the movement direction is the upper part will be described below with reference to FIG. Continue.

  First, the rotation angle of the image is calculated based on the reference north-facing vector and the moving direction vector. Here, the positive angle is clockwise and the negative angle is counterclockwise. For example, in FIG. 9B, the rotation angle when the movement direction vector is rotated to the reference vector is + α degrees.

  Next, the coordinates on the image after being rotated so that the moving direction is at the top are calculated from the coordinates of the display position of the character string displayed on the reference image. On the reference image, the vector from the rotation axis coordinate to the character string display position coordinate can be obtained by rotating the vector by the previous rotation angle. For example, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the vector from the rotation axis to the coordinates of the character string “iii” in the reference image is rotated by + α degrees, the coordinates of the character string “iii” on the rotated image are changed. Can be sought.

  Thereafter, the character display unit 114 displays the character string to be displayed on the rotated image at the calculated coordinates. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, a character string “iii” that is not rotated is displayed on the rotated image. That is, the character display unit 114 has a function of rotating the character string independently of the rotation of the position information image. In addition, when the rotation process of the image is repeated by specifying the moving direction, the position information similar to the method described with reference to FIG. 9 is internally converted into the coordinate system on the reference image. Recalculate.

  Finally, indoor movement, unlike outdoor movement, requires cursor movement processing with respect to height. Therefore, by providing a special intersection ID from the intersection ID, the indoor hierarchy display switching unit 112 can switch the image to the upper floor or the lower floor of the floor when the direction is selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), when the cursor moves to the staircase on the first floor, the intersection information data shown in FIG. 10 (b) is confirmed. When the intersection ID “2nd floor-N” is selected, the indoor hierarchy display switching unit 112 switches from the position information image indicating the first floor to the position information image indicating the second floor shown in FIG. The cursor is moved to the intersection ID “2nd floor-N”.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10A, the indoor hierarchy display switching unit 112 displays the floor selection list as a balloon when the cursor moves to the intersection ID “1st floor-Q” indicating an elevator. Here, if the third floor is selected, as a result of confirming the intersection information data shown in FIG. 10B, the position information image indicating the third floor is switched and the cursor is moved to the intersection ID “3rd floor-Q”. It is also possible to move to.

  Furthermore, when the indoor floor display switching unit 112 selects a desired floor from a specially provided list or menu during the processing from step S103 to step S110 shown in FIG. 2, the intersection shown in FIG. As a result of confirming the information data, it is also possible to switch to the floor image of that floor and move the cursor to a predetermined intersection ID where the default position of the intersection information data shown in FIG. 10B is not “x”.

  Finally, the client terminal 100 and the server device 200 are electronic devices having a main storage device (memory) including a central processing unit (CPU) having at least a calculation function and a control function, and a RAM having a function of storing programs and data. It consists of a typical device. Each device may include an auxiliary storage device such as a hard disk in addition to the main storage device.

  In addition, programs for executing various processes according to the present embodiment are stored in the client terminal 100 and the server device 200 described above. The program can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, or a DVD-ROM, or can be distributed via a communication network.

  According to the present embodiment, the client terminal 100 displays the position information image read out from the image storage unit 210 and reproduces and displays the video read out from the moving image storage unit 230. At the place where this video is reproduced and displayed. A cursor is displayed on the corresponding position information image in synchronism with the reproduction of the video, and a mark corresponding to the video from the shooting start location to the shooting end location and information on the mark are read from the peripheral information storage unit 240. Since it is displayed on the displayed video and the position information image, it is possible to effectively present information relating to a predetermined location existing on the position information image. In addition, since the video corresponding to the cursor movement on the position information image is displayed in cooperation, it is possible to provide realistic information.

  According to the present embodiment, the input unit 150 is capable of designating a manual mode in which the next movement direction is determined by user designation and an automatic mode in which the next movement direction is determined based on the current movement direction. Therefore, the user can appreciate the scenery automatically without performing the operation of specifying the departure / destination and repeated moving directions.

  According to the present embodiment, the image control display unit 110 switches and displays the outdoor position information image and the indoor position information image, and thus provides detailed information on each floor related to a tall building or the like. be able to.

  According to the present embodiment, the image control display unit 110 rotates and displays the position information image, so that it is possible to more easily present information regarding a predetermined place existing on the position information image. In other words, when the position information image is switched from outdoor to indoor, or from indoor to outdoor, the position information image is rotated in the same direction as the direction that actually enters indoors, etc. Location can be provided.

  According to the present embodiment, since the image control display unit 110 can rotate the character string independently of the rotation of the position information image, information regarding a predetermined place existing on the position information image can be more easily obtained. Can be presented. That is, it is possible to prevent the readability of the character information from being lowered with the rotation of the position information image.
