  The current position information acquisition unit 1132 acquires current position information. The current position information acquisition unit 1132 normally acquires current position information automatically. In this case, the current position information acquisition unit 1132 acquires current position information at a predetermined timing, for example. The predetermined timing is, for example, regularly, every time a point on the map (for example, an intersection) is passed.

  Also, the current position information acquisition unit 1132 acquires current position information corresponding to the captured image, for example. The current position information corresponding to the photographed image is information indicating, for example, a position where the distance from the position where the photographed image was acquired and the position where the photographed image was acquired is so close that a predetermined condition is satisfied. In other words, the timing at which the captured image is acquired and the timing at which the current position information is acquired do not need to completely match. In other words, the position where the photographed image is acquired and the position indicated by the current position information corresponding to the photographed image may not completely match.

  When acquiring the current position information corresponding to the captured image, the current position information acquisition unit 1132 acquires the current position information in accordance with, for example, acquisition of the captured image by the imaging unit 1131.

The current position information acquisition unit 1132 normally acquires two or more current position information. Therefore, the point information acquisition unit 1133 normally acquires a total of two or more pieces of point information corresponding to the two or more pieces of current position information.

  In addition, since the method, procedure, etc. which acquire the spot information corresponding to present position information are well-known, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. The point information acquisition unit 1133 acquires, from the map information storage unit 111, for example, point information having information indicating a position that is so close that the distance from the position indicated by the current position information satisfies a predetermined condition.

  The time information acquisition unit 1134 acquires time information corresponding to the current position information. The current position information is current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 1132. Further, the time information corresponding to the current position information is information indicating the time when the current position information is normally acquired as described above. Further, the time information corresponding to the current position information may be information indicating the time after the current position information is acquired, as described above. That is, the timing at which the current position information is acquired and the timing at which the time information is acquired do not need to completely match. In other words, the time when the current position information is acquired and the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the current position information may not completely match.

  In addition, the time information acquisition unit 1134 normally acquires time information corresponding to the current position information each time the current position information acquisition unit 1132 acquires the current position information. The current position information acquisition unit 1132 normally acquires two or more current position information. Therefore, the time information acquisition unit 1134 normally acquires a total of two or more pieces of time information corresponding to the two or more pieces of current position information.

  Moreover, the time information acquisition means 1134 usually acquires time information from a clock, a device that receives standard radio waves, and the like. In this case, the time information acquisition unit 1134 may have these devices or may be realized by these devices. In addition, the processing procedure of the time information acquisition unit 1134 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM.

  Post information acquisition means 1135 acquires post information corresponding to the current position information. The posted information is information posted by the user. The posted information is usually information having characters. The character is a so-called comment.

  Post information acquisition means 1135 acquires post information corresponding to the current position information, for example, by reception. In this case, the posting information acquisition unit 1135 transmits, for example, current position information to a posting server (not shown), and receives posting information corresponding to the transmitted current position information from the posting server. Note that the posting server holds, in advance, two or more pieces of posting information associated with position information, for example. The position information is usually information indicating the position where the user has posted the posted information. Then, the posting server has two or more postings holding in advance the posting information associated with the position information indicating the position where the distance from the position indicated by the received current position information is close enough to satisfy a predetermined condition. Get from the information. Then, the posting server transmits the acquired posting information to the information processing apparatus 11.

  Also, the posted information acquisition unit 1135 acquires posted information corresponding to the current position information from, for example, accumulated posted information. In this case, the posting information acquisition unit 1135 holds, for example, two or more posting information associated with position information in advance. Then, the posted information acquisition unit 1135 stores in advance two or more pieces of posted information associated with position information indicating positions that are close enough to satisfy a predetermined condition with the position indicated by the current position information. Get from post information.

  Also, the posting information acquisition means 1135 normally acquires one or more posting information for one current position information. For example, when there is no posting information corresponding to one current position information, the posting information acquisition unit 1135 does not acquire the posting information corresponding to the current position information.

  The road-related name information acquisition unit 1136 acquires road-related name information from characters included in the posted information. The post information is post information acquired by the post information acquisition means 1135. Also, the posting information acquisition means 1135 normally acquires one or more posting information for one current position information. Therefore, the road-related name information acquisition unit 1136 normally acquires one or more road-related name information from the characters of the one or more posted information for one current position information.

  (1) For example, when the posting information acquisition unit 1135 acquires one piece of posting information for one current position information, the road related name information acquisition unit 1136 determines from the characters of the one posting information that 1 Or two or more road related name information is acquired. And the contribution information acquisition means 1135 counts the number of the said road relevant name information for every same road relevant name information. The posted information acquisition unit 1135 acquires road-related name information that is so large that the number satisfies a predetermined condition.

  (2) For example, when the posting information acquisition unit 1135 acquires two or more pieces of posting information for one current position information, the road-related name information acquisition unit 1136 includes characters of the two or more pieces of posting information. 1 or 2 or more road related name information is acquired. And the contribution information acquisition means 1135 counts the number of the said road relevant name information for every same road relevant name information. The posted information acquisition unit 1135 acquires road-related name information that is so large that the number satisfies a predetermined condition.

  In (1) and (2) above, the road-related name information acquisition unit 1136 performs a unique process on overlapping road-related name information, for example. Moreover, the method and procedure etc. which acquire road related name information from a character do not ask | require. The road related name information acquisition unit 1136 holds, for example, two or more road related name information in advance. Then, for example, the road related name information acquisition unit 1136 determines whether or not the two or more road related name information is included in the characters included in the posted information. Then, the road related name information acquisition unit 1136 acquires the road related name information determined to be included. Moreover, the road related name information acquisition means 1136 acquires road related name information from the character which contribution information has, for example by what is called pattern matching. The pattern in the pattern matching is, for example, a so-called regular expression. In addition, the pattern is, for example, “National road [0-9] {1, 3} line”, “Prefectural road [0-9] {1, 3} number”, “[^ -a] + road”, etc. is there.

  The moving map information acquisition unit 1137 acquires moving map information from the map information storage unit 111. The moving map information acquisition unit 1137 normally acquires moving map information after the movement is completed. After completion of movement, for example, when a reception unit (not shown) receives an instruction to turn off the power, when a reception unit (not shown) receives an instruction to end acquisition of the current position information, When receiving an instruction to turn off the function for acquiring the current position information, the distance between the position indicated by the position information included in the point information indicating the destination and the position indicated by the current position information satisfies a predetermined condition. When it becomes close. The point information indicating the destination is stored, for example, in a predetermined storage area.

  A method or procedure for acquiring map information (here, moving map information) indicating a map including two or more positions (here, two or more positions indicated by two or more current position information) is publicly known. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.

  The moving recording base information acquisition unit 113 may accumulate, for example, one or more types of moving recording base information acquired at a certain timing in a predetermined storage area at each timing.

  The movement record information creation unit 114 creates movement record information using the movement record base information acquired by the movement record base information acquisition unit 113. For example, the movement record information creation unit 114 creates movement record information when acquisition of movement record base information is completed. Further, the movement record information creating unit 114 creates movement record information each time one type or two or more types of corresponding movement record base information is acquired.

  (1) For example, the movement record information creation unit 114 corresponds to the movement record base information stored in a predetermined storage area in the order of the timing at which the movement record base information is acquired and for each timing. The mobile recording base information is configured. For example, at a certain timing, a captured image and road-related name information are acquired, and the captured image and road-related name information are stored. In such a case, the movement record information creation unit 114 configures partial movement record information by associating the captured image with road-related name information. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 creates movement record information by connecting the configured partial movement record information in the order of the configuration.

  (2) The movement record information creation unit 114 holds, for example, a template (template) of movement record information in advance. The model is a model related to partial movement record information. In addition, the template has one or more variables for substituting one or more types of movement record base information such as a photographed image, point information, time information, road-related name information, and movement map information. The variable does not normally include a variable for substituting the current position information, but may include it. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 acquires, for example, movement record base information stored in a predetermined storage area in the order of the timing at which the movement record base information is acquired and for each timing. . The movement record information creation unit 114 copies the template every time the movement record base information is acquired. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 creates the partial movement record information by substituting the acquired movement record base information into the variable of the copied template. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 creates movement record information by connecting the created partial movement record information in the order of creation.

  (3) For example, each time the mobile recording base information acquisition unit 113 acquires one type or two or more types of corresponding mobile recording base information, the mobile recording information creation unit 114 stores the mobile recording base information. To configure partial movement record information. For example, when one type of movement recording base information is acquired, the movement recording information creation unit 114 configures partial movement recording information by acquiring the movement recording base information as partial movement recording information. Further, for example, when two or more types of corresponding movement recording information are acquired, the movement recording information creating unit 114 configures partial movement recording information by associating the two or more types of movement recording base information. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 creates movement record information by connecting the configured partial movement record information in the order of the configuration.

  (4) The movement record information creation unit 114 holds, for example, a template (template) of movement record information in advance. The model is a model related to partial movement record information. In addition, the template has one or more variables for substituting one or more types of movement record base information such as a photographed image, point information, time information, road-related name information, and movement map information. The variable does not normally include a variable for substituting the current position information, but may include it. Then, for example, each time the moving recording base information acquisition unit 113 acquires one type or two or more types of corresponding moving recording base information, the moving recording information creation unit 114 copies the template. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 substitutes the acquired movement record base information for the variable of the copied template and creates partial movement record information. Then, the movement record information creation unit 114 creates movement record information by connecting the created partial movement record information in the order of creation.

The user identification information is user identification information stored in the user identification information storage unit 112.

  The receiving unit 116 receives one or more pieces of movement record information. The receiving unit 116 normally receives movement record information in response to an instruction from the user. In addition, the receiving unit 116 normally receives one or more pieces of movement record information from the server device 12. For example, a reception unit (not shown) receives a movement record request instruction. The movement record request instruction is an instruction for requesting movement record information. Further, the movement record request instruction includes, for example, position information, movement record identification information, and the like. Then, the transmission unit 115 transmits the movement record request instruction to the server device 12.
