The character data is data for displaying a place name, a facility name, a road name, etc. on a map, and is associated with coordinate data corresponding to the position to be displayed.

  The external memory 28 is a mass storage device such as a writable HDD. The external memory 28 stores a large amount of data and data that must not be deleted even when the power is turned off, and frequently used data is copied from the map data input device 26 and used. . The external memory 28 may be a removable memory having a relatively small storage capacity.

  The display device 29 displays a map for guiding the traveling of the host vehicle, a destination selection screen, a health condition diagnosis result, and the like, for example, capable of full-color display, such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL A display, a plasma display, or the like can be used. The display device 29 can also display a menu screen that displays a plurality of options, a command input screen that displays a plurality of options when an option is selected from the menu screen.

  Furthermore, the voice output device 30 outputs a guidance voice at the time of route guidance, a message at the time of voice conversation, and the like based on an instruction from the control unit 37, and can be configured using a speaker or the like. The voice input device 31 collects a driver's utterance sound such as a voice command, converts the collected voice into a digital voice signal (that is, utterance data), and outputs it to the control unit 37. Thus, it can be configured using a digital microphone or the like.

  For example, a touch switch or a mechanical switch integrated with the display device 29 is used as the operation switch group 32, and operation instructions for various functions are given to the control unit 37 by the switch operation. The operation switch group 32 includes switches for setting a departure place and a destination. By operating the switch, the driver can set the departure point and the destination from a registered point, facility name, telephone number, address, and the like.

  In addition, the driver selects a target genre such as a meal, accommodation, or play by operating the operation switch group 32, thereby performing a facility search for each purpose, and a destination candidate obtained by the search. You can also set the destination from. Further, the driver can set the destination by operating the operation switch group 32 and selecting the destination from the recommended destinations extracted by the recommended destination extraction process described later.

  The remote controller 33 is provided with a plurality of operation switches (not shown). By inputting various command signals to the control unit 37 through the remote control sensor 34 by the switch operation, the same function as the operation switch group 32 is provided. Can be executed.

  The external input unit 35 is an interface for the control unit 37 to acquire the driver's body data measured by the health state sensor 1 from the health state sensor 1. For example, physical data may be input to the external input unit 35 from the health sensor 1 via an in-vehicle LAN that conforms to a communication protocol such as CAN (controller area network), or Bluetooth (registered trademark). The body data may be input from the health sensor 1 by wireless communication such as the above.

  The communication device 36 communicates with the health management server 3 via a communication network such as a network or a mobile phone network. The communication device 36 is connected to the network via wireless communication. Thus, for example, the communication device 36 may be configured to connect to a network via a communication module. Examples of the communication module mentioned here include an in-vehicle communication module used for telematics communication such as a DCM (data communication module) mounted on a vehicle, a mobile phone connected by, for example, Bluetooth or the like. The communication device 36 corresponds to the communication means in the claims.

  The control unit 37 is configured as a normal computer, and includes a known CPU, a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, an I / O, and a bus line (none of which is shown) for connecting these configurations. Yes. The control unit 37 is based on various information input from the position detector 21, the map data input unit 26, the external memory 28, the voice input device 31, the operation switch group 32, the remote control sensor 34, the external input unit 35, and the communication device 36. , Processing as a navigation function (for example, map scale change processing, menu display selection processing, map matching processing, recommended destination extraction processing, route search execution processing, route guidance processing, current position correction processing, display screen change processing, volume adjustment Processing), processing as a voice recognition function (voice recognition processing), processing as a health diagnosis function (for example, body data collection processing, state estimation processing, health state diagnosis processing, etc.), processing as a dialog function (dialog processing) , And processing (cooperation processing) as a cooperating function with the home game machine 4 is executed.

  For example, in the route search execution process, when a destination is input from the operation switch group 32, the remote control sensor 34, or the voice input device 31, the control unit 37 satisfies predetermined conditions such as distance priority and time priority. The movement path is searched using a known Dijkstra method. In the route guidance process, well-known route guidance for guiding the traveling along the movement route obtained in the route search execution process is performed.

  In the voice recognition process, the control unit 37 performs voice recognition using a voice recognition dictionary based on the utterance data input from the voice input device 31. Note that the control unit 37 performs processing according to the result of the speech recognition processing. For example, when the utterance data is a voice command, processing according to the voice command is performed.

  Note that the speech recognition may be performed using a well-known method, and may be performed using, for example, a hidden Markov model. The dictionary for speech recognition may be configured to use a dictionary similar to a well-known dictionary used for speech recognition. For example, a word is associated with a phoneme or a phonetic symbol indicating the pronunciation of the word. A dictionary or the like can be used. Furthermore, the dictionary for speech recognition may be stored in a memory such as a ROM of the control unit 37 or the external memory 28.

  Further, in the process as the health check function, the control unit 37 collects the driver's body data, estimates the driver's lifestyle and the like based on the collected temporal change of the body data, A question corresponding to the estimated driver's lifestyle or the like and an answer to the question are received by the above-described dialog processing. Then, based on the collected body data and data on the driver's lifestyle and the like collected by the interactive process, the health condition of the driver is diagnosed.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 3, a detailed description will be given of processing related to the processing as the health check function. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process flow related to the process as the health check function. 3 may be started, for example, when the navigation apparatus 2 is powered on.

  First, in step S1, the control part 37 performs a body data collection process, and moves to step S2. In the body data collection process, body data sequentially input from the health state sensor 1 via the external input unit 35 is collected. Therefore, the control part 37 is equivalent to the body data collection means of a claim. Note that the body data collected by the control unit 37 is sent to the health management server 3 via the communication device 36 and stored in the health management server 3 by cooperation processing in the control unit 37 described later.

  In step S2, the control part 37 performs a state estimation process, and moves to step S3. Here, the state estimation process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a state estimation process flow.

  First, in step S21, the body data stored in the health management server 3 is acquired via the communication device 36, and the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, a state such as a lifestyle of the driver is estimated based on the change of accumulated body data with time, and the process proceeds to step S3. Therefore, the control part 37 is equivalent to the estimation means of a claim.

  As for the body data, for example, information on the date and time when the body data was measured by the health sensor 1 is linked, and in the state estimation process, the body data is compared using the date and time information as an index. Can take into account changes over time in accumulated body data.

  In addition, when there are a plurality of drivers using the host vehicle, the driving driver can be set via, for example, the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, the voice input device 31, and the like, and identification information for specifying each driver It is good also as a structure which manages body data for every driver by associating (for example, user ID) with body data. Hereinafter, the description will be continued by taking as an example the case where the date and time information and the user ID are associated with the body data.

  As an example of estimating the lifestyle of the driver based on changes in body data over time, if both weight and body fat percentage are increasing, eating too much or lacking exercise Estimation of dietary restriction or exercise when body fat percentage is reduced. In addition, when the body temperature is increasing, poor physical condition such as a cold is estimated, and when the blood pressure is increasing, excessive intake of salt or insufficient sleep is estimated. In addition, the estimation of a driver's lifestyle state based on changes in body data over time is, for example, a table in which changes in various body data are associated with states such as lifestyle habits considered to be the cause of the increase / decrease The configuration may be performed by referring to the above.

  Moreover, although the structure which accumulate | stores the physical data which the control part 37 collected in the health management server 3 was shown in this embodiment, it does not necessarily restrict to this. For example, the physical data collected by the control unit 37 may be stored in a memory such as an EEPROM of the control unit 37 or a writable nonvolatile memory such as the external memory 28. The accumulated body data may be configured such that, for example, the body data for a certain period such as the latest one week or one month is accumulated and deleted from the old body data.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in step S <b> 3, the control unit 37 performs a dialogue process according to the process as the health check function, and proceeds to step S <b> 4. Here, with reference to FIG. 5, a detailed description will be given of the dialogue process corresponding to the process as the health check function. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a flow of interactive processing corresponding to processing as a health check function.

  First, in step S31, a timing determination process is performed, and the process proceeds to step S32. In the timing determination process, the control unit 37 determines whether or not the timing is low in driving load such as a state where the host vehicle is waiting for a signal or a state where the vehicle is traveling on a straight road without an intersection such as an expressway. Judgment. Therefore, the control part 37 is equivalent to the timing determination means of a claim. Note that the control unit 37 determines, for example, that the host vehicle is stopped from the speed of the host vehicle detected by the wheel speed sensor 24 or that the map data input device 26 is traveling on a straight road without an intersection. It may be configured to determine from the road data input from.

  If it is determined in step S32 that the timing is low in operation load (YES in step S32), the process proceeds to step S33. If it is not determined that the timing is low (NO in step S32), the process returns to step S31 and the flow is repeated.

  In step S33, in accordance with the state of the lifestyle of the driver estimated in the state estimation process of step S2, a question relating to the state of the lifestyle etc. is output from the voice output device 30, and the process proceeds to step S34. For questions related to lifestyle status, for example, the driver estimated in the status estimation process by preparing in advance a dialogue scenario described in VoiceXML for each status such as the lifestyle of the driver estimated in the status estimation process It is only necessary to ask questions according to the state of lifestyle, etc. In addition, by inserting a daily conversational sentence such as a greeting such as “Good morning” into the sentence of the question, it is assumed that a situation where the driver can easily answer the question is created. Also, the question should be a simple one that can be answered with two choices, such as YES and NO, such as affirmation and denial, to reduce the interaction load of the driver.

  In step S34, when an input of an answer from the driver to the above question output by voice output from the voice output device 30 is received via the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, or the voice input device 31 (YES in step S34), Control goes to step S35. If no answer input has been received (NO in step S34), the flow in step S34 is repeated.

  In step S35, data relating to the lifestyle of the driver is collected in response to the input of the answer from the driver to the question, and the process proceeds to step S4. Therefore, the voice output device 30, the voice input device 31, the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, the remote controller sensor 34, and the control unit 37 correspond to the dialogue means in the claims. As a means for receiving an input of an answer from the driver, the operation switch group 32 applied to the voice input device 31 and the steering switch is preferable in consideration of the driving load.

  As an example of dialogue processing, when the body fat percentage is decreasing and dietary restriction and exercise are estimated by the state estimation processing, “Good morning. Sounds good. Make a daily conversational question such as “Do you do it?” Then, when an affirmative answer such as “Yes” is received, data indicating that the driver is exercising may be collected as data related to the lifestyle state of the driver.

  On the other hand, when an input of a negative answer such as “No” is accepted, a question such as “Do you have dietary restrictions?” Is output by voice and an input of an affirmative answer is accepted The data regarding the dietary restriction may be collected as the data related to the lifestyle of the driver. According to this, it becomes possible to grasp | ascertain the lifestyle state more correctly by the control part 37 by dialog processing. In addition, what is necessary is just to let the question regarding the state of a lifestyle be a question for specifying the state of a lifestyle more correctly, for example.

  In addition, when blood pressure has increased, if you estimate that you are taking too much salt or lack of sleep, you will be asked to answer questions such as “Good morning. Are you sleeping a lot lately?” When the input is received, the data indicating that the driver is lacking in sleep may be collected as the data related to the lifestyle state of the driver.

  In addition, when the body temperature is rising, and it is estimated that the condition is poor, such as a cold, a question like "Is it hot this morning? Do you have a runny nose or cough?" When the input is received, data indicating a cold may be collected as data relating to the state of the driver.

  In addition, although the interactive process according to the process as the health check function has been described here, the interactive process is limited to a configuration that is performed to collect data related to the state of lifestyle such as the driver. For example, it may be configured to confirm the driver's intention.

  In step S4, the control part 37 performs a health condition diagnosis process, and complete | finishes a flow. In the health condition diagnosis process, based on the body data accumulated in the health management server 3 (that is, the body data collected by the body data collecting means) and the data on the driver's lifestyle, etc. collected by the dialogue process, Diagnose your health. As an example of the health condition diagnosis process, if it is determined from the accumulated body data that the body fat percentage is decreasing, and data indicating that dietary restrictions are being collected in the dialogue process is accumulated. The obtained body data may be configured to diagnose that “the body fat percentage is reduced by dietary restriction”. In addition, when it is determined from the accumulated body data that blood pressure is increasing, and data indicating lack of sleep is collected in the interactive process, the health status of the driver is “blood pressure increases due to lack of sleep”. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure to diagnose.

  According to this, for the driver, data for diagnosing the health condition is naturally collected in the dialogue, and it is difficult to feel resistance. In addition, the driver's health status is diagnosed based not only on the body data collected in the body data collection process but also on the lifestyle status of the driver collected in the dialogue process. Can be diagnosed. As a result, the driver can feel more useful and comfortable.

  In the health condition diagnosis process, when it is determined from the accumulated body data that the body temperature has risen, the health condition of the driver is collected by the body data collection process, such as diagnosing a “physical condition” It is good also as a structure which diagnoses the health state of a driver only from physical data.

  In the cooperation process, body data and the like can be shared between the navigation device 2 and the consumer game machine 4. In the linkage processing, the control unit 37 performs health management on the body data collected in the body data collection processing and the diagnosis result of the health state of the driver diagnosed in the health state diagnosis processing (hereinafter referred to as health state data) via the communication device 36. By sending it to the server 3 and accumulating it in the health management server 3, the body data and health status data derived from the navigation device 2 can also be used in the home game machine 4.

  Here, the flow of data from the navigation device 2 to the consumer game machine 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a data flow among the navigation device 2, the health management server 3, and the consumer game machine 4 in the health management support system 100.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6A, when body data, health status data, or the like is transmitted from the navigation device 2 to the health management server 3, the health management server 3 accumulates the data. Thereafter, when there is a transmission request for data derived from the navigation device 2 stored in the health management server 3 from the home game machine 4, the data from the navigation device 2 is sent from the health management server 3 to the home game machine 4 And the home-use game machine 4 obtains the data derived from the navigation device 2.

  According to this, in the consumer game machine 4, it is possible to execute an application that acquires body data derived from the navigation device 2 and uses the body data to display changes in the driver's body data in a graph. become. It is also possible to acquire health condition data derived from the navigation device 2 and provide a user with an exercise menu corresponding to the health condition indicated by the health condition data (that is, the driver after getting off). Specifically, when the health status indicated by the health status data is “decreased body fat percentage due to dietary restriction”, the driver exercises more intensely than when the health status is “decreased body fat percentage due to exercise” Examples of people who are not accustomed to or who have a low desire for exercise, such as providing a menu for relaxed exercise.

  In the home game machine 4, it is also possible to select an exercise suitable for the driver from a plurality of types of exercises based on the body data derived from the navigation device 2 and to provide a menu of the selected exercise. . For example, a menu of intense exercise can be selected and offered as the increase in weight or body fat percentage increases, or a relaxed exercise menu if the increase in blood pressure is large although weight or body fat percentage is increasing It is possible to select and provide.

  According to the above configuration, the driver's physical data and health status data obtained in the navigation device 2 can be used for an application relating to health management in the consumer game machine 4, so Drivers are more likely to feel the benefits of being diagnosed.

  Further, in the cooperation process, body data derived from the home game machine 4 measured by the home game machine 4 and accumulated in the health management server 3 is acquired and made available for use in the state estimation process, the health state diagnosis process, and the like. .

  Here, the flow of data from the consumer game machine 4 to the navigation device 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6B is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a data flow among the navigation device 2, the health management server 3, and the home game machine 4 in the health management support system 100.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6B, when physical data or the like is transmitted from the home game machine 4 to the health management server 3, the health management server 3 accumulates the data. Thereafter, when there is a transmission request for data from the home game machine 4 stored in the health management server 3 from the navigation device 2, the data from the home game machine 4 is sent from the health management server 3 to the navigation device 2. And the navigation device 2 acquires the data derived from the consumer game machine 4.

  According to this, since not only the body data derived from the navigation device 2 but also the body data derived from the home-use game machine 4 can be used for the state estimation process and the health condition diagnosis process, It becomes possible to perform estimation and diagnosis of health condition more accurately.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can utilize the data derived from the consumer game machine 4 other than body data in a cooperation process. For example, data regarding the usage status of the home game machine 4 (hereinafter referred to as usage status data) may be used. In this case, it is assumed that the usage status data is sent to the health management server 3 and accumulated in the health management server 3 in the same manner as the body data, and can be acquired from the navigation device 2. Here, the usage status data may be, for example, data indicating which menu in the application relating to health management has been executed, how long the driver has been used, and when it has been used.

  Here, an example of use in the case where the usage status data can be used in the health status diagnosis processing in the linkage processing will be described. For example, when the control unit 37 obtains usage status data indicating that the driver has executed a menu about exercise in an application related to health management for 30 minutes or more on the previous day, in the dialogue processing, for example, “You did exercise well yesterday. "Are you on a diet?"

  For example, when an input of an affirmative answer is received, data indicating that the person is dieting by exercise is collected as data related to the lifestyle of the driver. On the other hand, when an input of a negative answer is accepted, data indicating that the driver is exercising and not for diet is collected as data related to the lifestyle of the driver. Then, the health condition diagnosis process may be performed by using data related to the lifestyle state of the driver collected in the dialog process. In addition, as described above, the data related to the state of the driver's lifestyle and the like collected by the dialogue process may be used for a configuration other than the health condition diagnosis process.

  In the linkage process, when the control unit 37 determines the necessity of exercise for the driver based on the health condition data obtained by the health condition diagnosis process, It is good also as a structure which performs the alert | report which encourages performing the exercise | movement for health management by executing the application regarding health management with the game machine 4. FIG. Therefore, the control unit 37 corresponds to the exercise necessity determination means in the claims. For example, when the health state indicated by the health state data is a state that requires moderate exercise such as an increase in body fat percentage or an increase in body weight, the control unit 37 may determine that exercise is necessary. .

  Specifically, if the health status indicated by the health status data is “Weight increase due to lack of exercise”, it is determined that exercise is necessary, and “We are gaining weight! How about XXX games?” For example, a message prompting the user to execute an exercise for health management by executing an application related to health management may be displayed on the display device 29 or may be output from the voice output device 30 as a voice.

  According to this, since it is recommended to execute the application in the consumer game machine 4 based on the health condition diagnosis result obtained in the own vehicle, the driver is informed that the health condition is diagnosed in the own vehicle. It becomes easier to feel the benefits.

  In the above-described embodiment, body data, health data, and usage data are shown as examples of data shared between the navigation device 2 and the consumer game machine 4, but are not necessarily limited thereto. In addition, for example, it may be configured to share target value data (hereinafter, target data) related to body data such as body weight XX kilos, weight loss XX kilos, and body fat percentage XX%. The target data can be set via the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, the voice input device 31 and the like in the case of the navigation device 2, and can be set via the operation unit (not shown) in the case of the home game machine 4. do it.

  In addition, as an example of a configuration in which the target data is shared between the navigation device 2 and the home game machine 4, the target weight value derived from the home game machine 4 and the body weight collected in the body data collection process are used. On the other hand, when the control unit 37 determines that the weight of the driver has not reached the target value, it is estimated that the diet is in progress. In the dialogue process, when a question such as “Do you have a diet recently?” Is output as a voice, and an affirmative answer is accepted, a diet is given as data on the lifestyle of the driver. The data may be collected and used for health condition diagnosis processing and the like.

  Further, in the recommended destination extracting process, the control unit 37 extracts a recommended destination corresponding to the health condition indicated by the health condition data, based on the health condition data obtained by the health condition diagnosis process, to the driver. Present. The control unit 37 receives an input from a driver that selects a destination from among a plurality of recommended destinations displayed on the display device 29 via the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, and the voice input device 31. The recommended destination corresponding to the received input is set as the destination. Then, a route search execution process is performed based on the set destination, and a travel route that can reach the recommended destination is searched. Therefore, the control unit 37 corresponds to the health condition data acquisition unit and the recommended destination extraction unit of the claims, and the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, and the voice input device 31 correspond to the input unit of the claims.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 7, a detailed description from the recommended destination extraction processing to the destination setting will be given. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a flow from the recommended destination extraction processing to the destination setting. 7 is started when an input requesting the start of destination setting is received from the driver via the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, and the voice input device 31, for example.

  Furthermore, here, a case where the driver selects a meal as the target genre in the destination setting will be described as an example.

  First, in step S51, a recommended destination extraction process is performed, and a restaurant that provides a genre of meals according to the health condition indicated by the health condition data obtained by the health condition diagnosis process is extracted as a recommended destination. Move.

  For example, if the health condition is “blood pressure rises”, a restaurant that provides a low-salt genre meal is selected as the recommended destination, or if the health condition is “increase in body fat percentage” Or a restaurant that provides meals of a genre with low fat content may be extracted as a recommended destination.

  In addition, in the extraction of restaurants providing meals of a genre according to the health condition, for example, by referring to a table or the like in which various health conditions are associated with recommended meal genres in advance, the health condition is determined. It may be configured to select meals of different genres. And the restaurant which provides the meal of the selected genre should just be set as the structure extracted based on the data of the genre of the meal provided in the restaurant of the background data input from the map data input device 26.

  Moreover, although the structure which extracts the restaurant as a recommended destination based on the data of the genre of the meal provided at a restaurant was shown here, it does not necessarily restrict to this. For example, when background data also includes data such as meal menus and calories provided at restaurants, a configuration that extracts restaurants as recommended destinations based on data such as meal menus and calories It is good.

  Furthermore, not only the structure which acquires the data of the genre of the meal provided at a restaurant from the map data input device 26, but also a structure which can be obtained from an information center, an Internet site, etc. by a communication means (not shown).

  Subsequently, in step S52, the recommended destination extracted in step S51 is displayed on the display device 29, and the process proceeds to step S53. In step S53, when an input from a driver that selects a destination from a plurality of recommended destinations displayed on the display device 29 is received via the operation switch group 32, the remote controller 33, and the voice input device 31 (in step S53). (YES), it moves to S54. If the input for selecting the destination is not received (NO in step S53), the flow in step S53 is repeated.

  In step S54, a recommended destination corresponding to the received input (that is, a recommended destination selected as a destination from the driver) is set as the destination, and the flow is ended. After the destination is set, a route search execution process is performed based on the set destination, and a travel route that can reach the recommended destination is searched.

  Here, the configuration is shown in which the recommended destination extraction process is started when the driver sets the destination, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the recommended destination extraction process may be started according to the result of the dialogue process. As a specific example, when the driver has been on board for a predetermined time or more over a predetermined time for eating, a question such as “Have you been hungry?” Is output from the voice output device 30 as a voice. And when the input of the affirmative answer is received, the recommended destination extraction process may be started.

  It should be noted that the predetermined time and the predetermined time mentioned here can be arbitrarily set. Furthermore, what is necessary is just to set it as the structure which the control part 37 discriminate | determines that the driver is getting on, for example using the above-mentioned weight scale installed in the seat.

  In the recommended destination extraction process, the control unit 37 extracts the surrounding hospital as a recommended destination and presents it to the driver when the health condition data obtained by the health condition diagnosis process indicates poor physical condition. It is good also as composition to do. The peripheral hospital referred to here may be a hospital that exists within a predetermined range from the current position of the host vehicle, or may be a hospital that can be reached within a predetermined time from the current position of the host vehicle. Further, the predetermined range and the predetermined time mentioned here can be arbitrarily set.

  As a specific example, when it is estimated in the state estimation process that the body temperature has risen to 37.5 degrees and is in poor health, "There is a body temperature of 37.5 degrees. When a question such as “?” Is output by voice and an input of an affirmative answer is accepted, data indicating that the patient is in poor health is collected as data relating to the lifestyle of the driver. Then, a voice message such as “Would you like to find a hospital?” Is output as a voice, and when the process of searching for nearby hospitals is started and an affirmative answer is accepted, the extracted surrounding hospitals are recommended destinations. As shown in FIG.

  Further, the control unit 37 outputs the question “Would you like to find a hospital?” As a voice and, in addition to the configuration for starting the process of searching for nearby hospitals, based on the information on the hospital where the driver is located, It may be configured to search and guide a travel route that can reach the hospital, and to perform a process related to appointment of the examination at the hospital, using identification information such as an examination number for specifying the driver. It should be noted that identification information such as information on the hospital where the driver is visiting and the examination number are stored (registered) in advance in a memory such as an EEPROM of the control unit 37 or a writable non-volatile memory such as the external memory 28. That's fine. Therefore, the control unit 37 and the external memory 28 correspond to the registration means in the claims.

  In addition, as processing related to the appointment of the examination at the hospital, the identification information such as the examination number is transmitted to the server device of the hospital where the driver visits via a communication network such as the Internet by a communication means (not shown) and the appointment of the examination is made. It is good also as a structure performed automatically. In addition, the identification information such as the examination number is transmitted to the server server of the hospital where the driver visits via a communication network such as the Internet by a communication means (not shown), and a hands-free call with the reception desk of the hospital is started. It is good also as a structure which a driver | operator can make a reservation of a medical examination by hands-free call.

  In addition, after going to the hospital, the data indicating that the patient has been in the hospital is sent to the health management server 3 and stored, whereby the data indicating that the patient has been in the hospital is stored in the navigation device 2 and the home game machine 4. It may be configured to be shared between the devices, and the home-use game machine 4 may be asked to ask, “Mr. XXX, went to the hospital the other day, how are you?”

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to diagnose a health condition in a game-like dialogue and naturally recommend a destination that matches the driver's health condition, and thus the convenience is further improved.

  The portion related to the processing as the navigation function of the navigation device 2 corresponds to the route guidance device in the claims, the processing as the voice recognition function of the control unit 37, the processing as the health check function, the processing as the dialogue function (dialogue The portion related to the processing) and the processing as the linkage function with the consumer game machine 4 corresponds to the vehicle-mounted device in the claims.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the health management support system 100 includes the health management server 3 is shown, but the configuration is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the navigation device 2 and the home game machine 4 may be configured to exchange biometric data and health status data without going through the health management server 3.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the consumer game machine 4 is used as the computer device of the claims is shown, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. As the computer device of the claims, it is possible to exchange data directly or indirectly with the navigation device 2 and to execute an application relating to health management using biometric data or health condition data Any device that can be used can be used. For example, a personal computer may be used as the computer device in the claims, or a mobile device such as a mobile phone or a mobile game machine may be used.

  Moreover, when it is set as the structure which uses a mobile telephone as a computer apparatus of a claim, it is good also as a structure which exchanges biometric data and health data directly with the navigation apparatus 2 by wireless communications, such as Bluetooth.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the navigation device 2 includes both the portion corresponding to the route guidance device in the claims and the portion corresponding to the vehicle-mounted device is shown, but the configuration is not necessarily limited thereto.
