Description

  The present invention relates to a store guide map that has a high scale ratio, has a wide range of listing properties, and can easily read a large number of store information while maintaining the outline of each individual building display.

  Conventionally, when displaying store or business office (hereinafter referred to as “store”) information on a residential map or other maps, for example, “Oshiro Bookstore”, “Yamada Computer Software Co., Ltd.”, “Nail Salon ・Store names such as “Julie”, “Pet Shop World”, and “◯ △ Cashing Corner” were directly described on the map.

  Therefore, it is necessary to make a large description space for each building in order to fit these descriptions within the outline of the building display. For this reason, the scale of a housing map or the like is practically required to be a size from 1/1000 to 1/500 in an urban area even if it is small.

  In addition, it is necessary to make the size of the map book relatively large so that the target store, the connecting road to the store, the situation in the vicinity, and the like can be listed. However, this causes a problem that the map book becomes too large and is inconvenient to carry.

  On the other hand, in order to make the map book small and to have a wide range of listability, it is necessary to reduce the scale of the map to 1 / 3,000 to 1 / 5,000. If the number of stores posted in such a small scale map increases, the store name cannot be stored within the outline of the building display.

  Therefore, the description range of the store name extends to the outline of the adjacent building display. In the store map, there is no need to describe the name of a normal house. Therefore, if the building adjacent to the store is a house, there is no problem even if the description of the store name is displayed on the adjacent house.

  However, if the stores are lined up next to each other, the names of the stores will erode each other's building display, making the listing crowded and difficult to see, and the original function of the map will be impaired. There was a problem.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and has a high scale ratio and a wide range of listability, and can easily read a lot of store information while maintaining the outline of each individual building display. The purpose is to provide a map.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the store guide map of the present invention is described with a road, a building display outline that displays buildings lined up along the road, and a part of the building display outline that protrudes outside. A map composed of characters or symbols in accordance with a predetermined display rule indicating the type of business of the store and a number described together with the characters or symbols, and in the description description area at the end of the map, A headline indicating the classification of the type of industry, a number arranged in ascending order, and the official name of the store indicated by a letter or symbol written on the map together with the number, a telephone number, and a description position on the map, It is described.

  This store guide map is characterized in that, for example, the advertisement details of the store where the advertisement is desired are posted at the end of the book, and for example, the description position on the map is described in the description description area at the end of the map Subsequently, the presence / absence of a store advertisement and the page number on which the advertisement is posted in the case of the store advertisement are described.

  In this store guidance map, for example, the above-mentioned characters are one or two kanji characters that actually indicate or ideographically indicate the store's business type, or a character and kanji other than kanji, and further, for example, The official name of the store that can be described in the building display outline of the store.

  Further, in this store guide map, for example, the symbols include symbols defined as symbols on the map such as symbols representing post offices, symbols representing shrines, symbols representing temples, and the like are represented on these maps.

This number correspondence table 7 is provided at the left end following the outline, although it is not particularly shown in the case of the left-page spread.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a part of the upper right portion of the page so as to make it easier to see the number correspondence table 7 at the end of the right facing page shown in FIG. In this number correspondence table 7, from left to right, description areas of a store name column 8, a TEL (telephone) column 9, a position column 10, and an advertisement column 11 are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the description area of the store name column 8 includes a headline indicating the type of store industry such as “food”, “buy”, “service”, and so on, vertically from top to bottom. Numbers arranged in ascending order as 1, 2, 3,. These numbers are number 6 shown in FIG.

When a store corresponding to a new industry appears on the map, a new industry item is displayed in the number correspondence table 7.

  Further, the number 6 is a serial number assigned to each store symbol in a unit of a spread map. This serial number is added in ascending order from the industry located first in the industry condyles defined separately. Since there are a plurality of the same store symbols because they belong to the same type of business, a lower number is added from the one located at the upper left of the map.

  The above-mentioned industry classifications are, for example, “Eating and drinking, buying and selling, services, medical care, education, nursing care, health, real estate, construction, hobbies / pets, collectives, etc.” and assigning young numbers in the order of classification Like that. “Aggregate” refers to a building in which a plurality of stores and offices are located.

  In this way, the number described on the map as number 6 is assigned to each industry category in a predetermined industry order in the ascending order.

  In the number correspondence table 7, next to the numbers 1, 2, 3,... Shown as the number 6, the store symbol stores indicated on the map along with the number 6 indicated by the number. For example, “Yanbaru ship”, “Kushiyaki specialty”, and so on are described.

  In the TEL column 9 following these official names, the telephone number of the store indicated by the official name is described as “XXX-XXX”. Further, in the position column 10 following the phone number of XXX-XXX, the position on the map of the store of the official name (the position of the building display outline 3 where the store symbol and the number 6 are written) For example, “lower left”, “middle upper”, “middle right”,.

  “Lower left” described in the position column 10 indicates that the store is located in the lower left of the page, “Middle upper” indicates that the store is located in the upper part of the page, and “Middle right” It shows that the store is located in the middle right of the page. Thereby, from the description of the position in the position column 10, the location of the desired store can be easily reversed on the map.

  In the description of the position column 10, the map is subdivided vertically and horizontally by a plurality of line segments. For example, by assigning numbers 1 to n to the vertical lines and A to N to the horizontal lines, the position display is “1A”. "5C" may be set in detail.

  Next, in the last advertisement column 11 following the position column 10, a description indicating whether or not the store is advertising on this store guide map is described.

Further, since the minimum store information such as the type of business and the telephone number can be obtained in the same spread, it is not necessary to turn the page to check the detailed advertisement, which is convenient.

  In addition, since a series of numbers are assigned to the stores on the map, even if it seems that the type of business is not clear by the store symbol alone or if it is not clear whether it corresponds to the store you are looking for, the number correspondence table It is possible to quickly find and specify a target store by looking at the description of the business category, official store name, and telephone number.

  In addition, it is convenient because it can be reversed directly on the map by using the number and position symbol as a clue to a good hospital from multiple store information classified as hospitals / clinics, for example, in the number correspondence table It is.

  In addition, the number of characters is reduced as much as possible by using kanji as ideograms such as “Nail Art” for store symbols such as nail art and “Inu Cat” for store symbols such as pet shops. In each spread, hundreds of store information can be posted while maintaining the function and quality of the map, and it is easy to use, and this store guide map can contribute to promoting the mobility of citizens and tourists.

Good. In that case, for example, all the restaurants that provide meals may be “food”, pubs may be “drink”, hospitals may be “disease” and “teeth”, and may be represented by their respective symbols. .

  Further, the symbols themselves may be defined in advance at the major category or middle category of the business category. Even in that case, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, “serial number” is added to each store symbol as a unit of the spread map, and a young number from the industry located first in the industry classification is added. If there are a plurality of identical symbols belonging to, a lower number is added from the one located at the upper left of the map.

  By doing so, in the number correspondence table provided at both ends of the spread, each store number is assigned to the corresponding industry in ascending order, and the official store name is listed with the phone number and location, so it is quick It is possible to search and specify a target store.

  Furthermore, it is possible to cope by omitting symbols and adding only a serial number. Even in that case, each number is assigned to each store from the industry located first in the industry classification, and also in the number correspondence table provided at both ends of the spread, it is assigned to the corresponding industry in order from the younger number In addition, since the official store name is described together with the telephone number or the like, the effect of the present invention is not impaired.

  Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to a paper map, but can be used as electronic map data in a multifunctional portable terminal or an Internet site.

  In that case, a small scale display such as 1 / 8,000 is used, and the user selects the store's business type (meal, hospital, etc.) in advance, and the screen is scrolled to move the corresponding store number. It is better that only the information of the same industry appears in the number correspondence table at the end of the screen.

  As the scale is enlarged by zooming, when a general symbol or a detailed symbol, or a store is specified, detailed store information such as a store photo, business details, business hours, etc. is enlarged and displayed in the number correspondence table. You may do it.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used for a store guide map that has a high scale ratio, has a wide range of listability, and can easily read a large number of store information while maintaining the outline of each individual building display.
