In addition, in the visit determination process, when using information that uniquely identifies a position by a character string as position information, the determination unit 155 includes a character string as the position information of the visited site and a character string as the position information of the device itself. It may be determined whether or not a visit has been made by determining whether or not. In this way, the determination unit 155 performs the visit determination process by comparing the numerical values or the character strings of the position information of the visited site and the position information of the own device.

  When one of the location information of the visited site and the location information of the own device is represented by a numerical value and the other is represented by a character string, the determination unit 155 represents the positional information represented by the numerical value by a character string. Or after converting the position information represented by a character string into position information represented by a numerical value, a visit determination process based on either the numerical value or the character string may be performed.

  Moreover, the determination part 155 resets the said determination about the visit destination determined as having visited before, and performs the non-visit determination process determined not to have visited, for example regularly. In the unvisited determination process, for example, the determination unit 155 determines whether the number of days elapsed from the last visit date is equal to or greater than a predetermined period such as January, and the number of days elapsed from the last visit date is equal to or greater than the predetermined period. It is determined that no visit has been made. Further, for example, the determination unit 155 determines whether or not the elapsed days from the last visit date is a time that is half or more of the visit interval, and the elapsed days from the last visit date is a time that is more than half of the visit interval. If it is determined that the visit has not been made. Further, the determination unit 155 determines whether or not the number of days until the next visit deadline is less than a predetermined period, and determines that no visit has been made when the number of days until the next visit deadline is less than the predetermined period. If it is determined that no visit has been made, the determination unit 155 updates the value of the visit determination flag included in the visit information regarding the visited site to “FALSE”.

  The display control unit 156 acquires map data from the map data storage unit 141. In addition, the display control unit 156 acquires the visited location information from the visited location information storage unit 142. In addition, the display control unit 156 acquires visit information from the visit information storage unit 143. The display control unit 156 generates a map image based on the map data. The display control unit 156 identifies the location of the visited location on the map image based on the visited location information. The display control unit 156 generates an image that shows information indicating whether or not a visit to the visit destination has been made based on the value of the visit determination flag included in the visit information for the identified visit destination position. The display control unit 156 displays the generated image on the display unit 120.

Next, the determination unit 155 acquires the position information of the own device detected by the detection unit 130 via the own device position acquisition unit 154 (step S102). Next, the determination unit 155 determines whether or not a visit has been made based on the visited location information and the location information of the device itself (step S103).

  If it is determined that no visit has been made (step S103; NO), the determination unit 155 returns the process to step S102. When it is determined that a visit has been made (step S103; YES), the determination unit 155 updates the visit information regarding the visit destination that has been determined to have been visited (step S104). Specifically, first, the determination unit 155 acquires visit information from the visit information storage unit 143. The determination unit 155 rewrites the value of the visit determination flag included in the visit information to “TRUE”. Further, the determination unit 155 rewrites the information on the last visit date, the visit interval, and the next visit deadline included in the visit information based on the current date. Then, the determination unit 155 updates the visit information by storing the rewritten visit information in the visit information storage unit 143. Thereafter, the determination unit 155 returns the process to step S102.
