Description

The present invention is an application that can be installed on a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, search for regional information on an electronic map loaded with regional information of the area from current location information, set a destination, and provide route guidance.

Up to now, when searching for regional information, a method of inputting relevant information on a portal site or the like and searching by pinpoint has been used.

In addition, by using an GIS engine and viewing an electronic map on which local information linked to a local government homepage or the like is viewed, it has been possible to see local information in the administrative community of the local government.

In addition, there are local governments that are developing apps for mobile terminals to transmit local information, and if installed on mobile terminals, local information on the local government's administrative community could be viewed.

However, since the conventional regional information application has been created for each local government or region, the user needs to install the regional information app for each local government or region, and seamlessly view information across administrative boundaries and regions. I couldn't.

Furthermore, there is a local information application created by the local government and an application specialized for disaster prevention / disaster, but there is a problem that if the user does not install it during normal times, it will not be used during a disaster.

Conventional regional information apps have the problem that the application provider and the local information provider are the same and fixed, so that it is not possible to provide diverse, large-scale, and multiple regional information.

When searching for regional information, there is a problem that an application that requires keyword input may lose the opportunity to find information that the keyword cannot be thought of.

The present invention is intended to solve such a conventional problem. It is possible to view local information seamlessly without being limited to the administrative world, and the application provider and the electronic map provider are divided into various types.・ The purpose is to post a large amount and multiple information, to ensure continuity during a disaster from normal times, and to search for regional information without using keyword input.

The mobile terminal application according to the present invention, which meets the above-described object, uses the GPS function of the mobile terminal to search seamless local information that is not bound by the administrative world and search for local information around the current position. The position is acquired, and an electronic map loaded with one or more pieces of geospatial information having area information around the current position is automatically acquired and displayed in the application catalog area as shown in 2 of FIG.

In order to ensure continuity at the time of disaster from normal times, a convenient function that can be used by the user at normal times is required. As a first measure for improving user convenience, a function for enhancing user convenience is added to the route guidance function. It is to display calorie consumption at the time of route guidance by walking, and to obtain in real-time the roads that road managers such as local governments cannot input and to avoid the roads.

Second, we built a screen interface that can display an electronic map with two operations after starting the application.

Third, in conjunction with the existing functions that allow the electronic map creator to freely add various background maps such as topographic maps, aerial photographs, and old maps according to the purpose of the electronic map, the electronic map on the mobile terminal application side The background map set by the creator can be freely changed by the user according to the purpose.

An electronic map created on a cloud service with a “G-moty Mobile” tag so that diverse, large-scale, and multiple regional information can be searched with the application of the present invention without limiting the electronic map creator Is obtained and displayed in the catalog area of the application as shown in 2 of FIG.

As a search method that replaces the keyword search, in the search method when searching for the local information from the current position information, the road network information is used for walking (5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes) and cars (15 minutes, 30 minutes). ) And reachable area information within that area.

In the mobile terminal application according to the present invention, it was possible to realize seamless search of regional information that is not bound by the administrative world and display an electronic map loaded with regional information around the current position in the catalog area of the application. As a result, the user can view the local information around the current position without being aware of the administrative world.

Since the area information around the current position can be searched in the reachable area for each time calculated from the road network information, it is possible to search in accordance with the time taken for the user to go to the location of the area information.

In order to avoid the route at least in the event of an emergency such as a disaster, the user can avoid the road that cannot pass at all and efficiently reach the destination. can go.

By displaying the calorie consumption at the time of route guidance by walking in the navigation function for mobile terminals, the user can know the amount of energy consumed before going to the destination.

By building a screen interface that can display an electronic map with two operations after the application is started, the user can quickly display the region information that he / she wants to see.

It will be possible to select a background map that suits the purpose of the electronic map by using an existing function that allows an electronic map creator to freely add various background maps such as topographic maps, aerial photographs, and old maps. In addition, the user can freely change the background map registered by the electronic map creator or the existing background map provided by the cloud service from the list according to the use, and can search the city. For example, when the user selects an old map of the Edo period as the background map, the user can search for the town while checking the surrounding situation of the Edo period on the map.

An electronic map created on the cloud service with the tag “G-moty Mobile” is acquired and displayed in the catalog area of the application as shown in 2 of FIG. By tagging “moty Mobile”, an electronic map can be mounted on the application of the present invention, and the amount of information posted in the application can be increased. As a result, the user can view a lot of area information with this application.
