(First embodiment)
First, an information processing system 1 that displays detailed information of a selected object will be described as a first embodiment of an information processing system according to the present invention. The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment is a system that provides a map to a user of an electronic device such as a mobile terminal (smart phone, mobile phone, tablet terminal, etc.) or a personal computer (hereinafter also simply referred to as “user”). It is.

  The information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 2 as shown in FIG. The information processing system 1 may further include a server (not shown). The server may be communicably connected to the terminal device 2 via a network such as the Internet. The network may be either a wired line or a wireless line, and the type and form of the line are not limited. The terminal device 2 and at least a part of the server are realized by a computer.

  The terminal device 2 is used by a user to display a map, and is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 2 may be a desktop personal computer.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the terminal device 2 includes a communication unit 20, a storage unit 21, a control unit 22, an input unit 23, and an output unit 24.

  The communication unit 20 is an interface capable of transmitting and receiving information between the terminal device 2 and the server via a network. In addition, when not transmitting / receiving information between servers, the communication part 20 may be abbreviate | omitted.

  The storage unit 21 is a data storage such as an internal memory or an external memory (such as an SD memory card), and stores various data. Note that the storage unit 21 is not necessarily provided in the terminal device 2 and may be provided in another device (for example, a server) connected to the terminal device 2 via a network so as to be communicable.

  The storage unit 21 functions as a map information storage unit that stores map information. The map information includes map data such as national or regional road maps, and includes map object information associated with the map data. The map object information includes a touring road for traveling on a motorcycle.

  The map object information may include line information other than the touring road. Line information other than touring roads includes road-related information such as cycling roads, scenic roads, tourist roads, shopping streets, and general roads, and road-related information such as traffic congestion lines. Can be drawn on the map. Further, the map object information may include plane information. Examples of the surface information include administrative districts and POIs (Point Of Interest) having regions. The POI having a region is, for example, a park, an amusement park, or a shopping mall. Further, the map object information may include point information. As point information, for example, POI which has almost no area can be cited.

  The storage unit 21 also functions as a map display setting storage unit that stores map display setting information. Here, the map display setting information is information in which map display conditions are set. The map display setting information is set according to a user instruction via the input unit 23. When there is no user instruction, the map display setting information may be information set by default.

  The map display setting information includes, for example, a map display position, a map scale, a map display direction, and a map angle. Here, the display position of the map is the center position of the map, may be the position of the mobile body or the terminal device, or may be a position shifted from the position of the mobile body or the terminal device, or the position specified by the user It may be. The display direction of the map may be a display direction in which the upper side of the map is the traveling direction of the moving object. This display direction may be set as a heading-up mode for displaying a map with the traveling direction of the moving body up. The display direction of the map may be a display direction in which the upper direction of the map is the north direction. This display direction may be set as a north up mode for displaying a map with the north direction up. Further, the display direction of the map may be a direction set by an operation of the input unit 23 independent of the setting of the display mode (for example, southeast direction). The angle of the map is, for example, 2D looking down on the map vertically or 3D looking down on the map diagonally. In addition to this, the angle of the map may include a look-down angle in 3D.

  The input unit 23 is an interface for the user to input information to the terminal device 2, and may be, for example, a touch panel or a microphone in a mobile terminal, a keyboard in a desktop personal computer, a touch pad, or a dial button.

  The output unit 24 is an interface that outputs various types of information from the terminal device 2 to the user, and is a display unit such as a liquid crystal display. Specifically, the output unit 24 displays a map and a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for accepting an operation from the user.

  The control unit 22 functions as a map display control unit. Specifically, the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 serving as a display unit to execute (display) a map display and a map detailed information display so as to be switchable in both directions. Here, the detailed information display may include a map in which at least one of the display position of the map displayed in the map display, the display scale, the map orientation, and the map display area in the screen is changed. In this case, when switching from the map display to the detailed information display, the control unit 22 controls to continuously display the map displayed in the map display and the map being displayed in the detailed information. In addition, the control unit 22 determines the map display position, the map scale, and the map display direction between the map display before moving to the detailed information display and the map display after returning from the detailed information display. Control to match. The control unit 22 may control the map display by a display unit outside the terminal device 2.

  The control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to display a map in a display mode in which an object in the map can be selected. Thereby, in the map display, an object in the map using the input unit 23 can be selected. In response to selection of an object in the map, the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to perform detailed information display based on map display setting information (that is, display position, scale, and display direction) corresponding to the selected object. The object may be a touring road. The display direction corresponding to the touring road may be a direction corresponding to north up.

  Note that the control unit 22 may be realized by a processor in the terminal device 2 executing a predetermined program.

  Next, an operation example of the information processing system 1 in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to execute map display including a touring road (step S1). At this time, the control unit 22 may cause the output unit 24 to perform map display based on the map display setting information stored in the storage unit 21 as a default setting. In addition, the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to execute a map display in a display mode in which the map display setting information can be changed using the input unit 23.

  Here, the screen transition from the map display to the detailed information display will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the screen transition from the map display to the detailed information display as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a map screen SC_1 including the first to third touring roads R_1 to R_3. FIG. 3B is a diagram showing a selection state of the first touring road R_1 for the map screen SC_1. FIG. 3C is a diagram showing a detailed information screen SC_2 when the first touring road R_1 is selected.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the control unit 22 displays a map screen SC_1 including first to third touring roads R_1 to R_3. As shown in FIG. 3A, the map screen SC_1 may include a vehicle position mark M_1, a mark M_2 indicating that a touring road is superimposed on the map, and a scale change button B_1. .

  Of the map display setting information corresponding to the map screen SC_1 in FIG. 3A, the map display position is a position shifted from the own vehicle position. The scale is 20 km. The display mode is a heading up mode. The direction is southeast. The angle is 2D.

  Subsequently, the control part 22 determines the presence or absence of the change operation of map display setting information (step S2). When there is a change operation (step S2: Yes), the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to execute map display based on the changed map display setting information (step S3). The storage unit 21 stores the changed map display setting information when the map display setting information is changed.

  Next, the control unit 22 determines whether or not a touring road is selected on the map screen SC_1 (step S4). This determination is performed both in the case of executing the map display based on the changed map display setting information (step S3) and in the case of not changing the map display setting information (step S2: No).

  When the touring road is selected (step S4: Yes), the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to execute detailed information display based on the map display setting information corresponding to the touring road (step S5). The map display setting information corresponding to the touring road is map display setting information suitable for the touring road display. At this time, the control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to execute the detailed information display in a display mode capable of receiving an input operation for returning to the map display. On the other hand, when the touring road is not selected (step S4: No), the process returns to the determination (step S2) of whether or not the map display setting information is changed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the first touring road R_1 is touch-operated with the hand H from the map screen SC_1, the control unit 22 performs the first operation as shown in FIG. A panoramic view of one touring road R_1 may be displayed north-up. By displaying the full view of the Touring Road north-up, you can see the full view on the north-facing map that you are familiar with in daily life. Moreover, it is easy to remember that the user has seen the whole view of the same touring road by displaying the whole view having a constant display direction regardless of the traveling direction. Therefore, the visibility of the map and the distinguishability can be improved by displaying the entire view of the touring road in the north-up manner.

  It should be noted that the detailed information display of the selected touring road is not limited to the display of the whole view as long as the display is in a scale that can accommodate the start point and the end point of the selected touring road. For example, a part of the section between the start point and the end point may deviate from the screen.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the detailed information screen SC_2 includes a return button B_2 for selecting to return to the map display. Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, the detailed information screen SC_2 may include a name of the selected touring road R_1 and a destination setting button B_3 for setting the touring road R_1 as a navigation destination. Good.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 22 determines whether or not to return to the map display has been selected (step S6).

  And when returning to a map display is selected (step S6: Yes), the control part 22 makes the output part 24 perform the map display based on the last map display setting information. The immediately preceding map display setting information may be the map display setting information at the beginning of the map display (step S1), or may be the map display setting information after the change (step S3).

  Here, the screen transition from the detailed information display to the map display will be described. FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are diagrams illustrating an example of screen transition from detailed information display to map display as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 4A is a surface showing a selection state of the return button B_2 on the detailed information screen SC_2. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a map screen SC_1 including the first to third touring roads R_1 to R_3.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the return button B_2 is touched on the detailed information screen SC_2, the control unit 22 displays the same map as FIG. 3A as shown in FIG. The screen SC_1 is displayed on the output unit 24.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a map display transitioned from the detailed information display as a comparative example. In this example, when the detailed information screen SC_2 in FIG. 4A transitions to the map screen SC in FIG. 5, the map screen SC_1 before transitioning to the detailed information screen SC_2 in FIG. A map screen SC having a display mode different from that in ()) is displayed. Specifically, the map screen SC in FIG. 5 is displayed in a north-up manner as in the background art with the position of the mobile object or the terminal device as the center, and is vertically inverted with respect to the map screen SC_1 in FIG. ing. Therefore, it is different from the positional relationship of each of the touring roads R_1 to R_3 grasped by the user when viewing the map screen SC_1 in FIG. For example, the absolute position in the screens R_1 to R_3 is different between the map screen SC_1 in FIG. 3A and the map screen SC in FIG. Moreover, the relative position between each touring road differs. Specifically, R_3 displayed at the lower part of the screen R_1 on the map screen SC_1 in FIG. 3A is displayed at the upper left of the screen R_1 on the map screen SC in FIG. Therefore, it is difficult for the user who has viewed the map screen SC of FIG. 5 to recognize R_1 to R_3 based on the information recognized by viewing the map screen SC_1 of FIG. As a comparative example different from FIG. 5, the detailed information screen SC_2 in FIG. 4A transitions to a north-up map (not shown) centered on the first touring road R_1 designated on the screen SC_2. In this case, the first touring road R_1 is displayed above the case of FIG. As a result, the second touring road R_2 positioned above (north side) the first touring road R_1 may not be visible on the screen unless the screen is scrolled. Therefore, when switching to the north-up map centered on the designated point as described in the background art, it is more difficult to recognize R_1 to R3.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the same map screen SC_1 as the map screen SC_1 before the transition to the detailed information screen SC_2 is displayed. Accordingly, the user can easily recognize R_1 to R_3 when returning to the map screen SC_1 based on the positional relationship of the touring roads R_1 to R_3 that was grasped before the transition to the detailed information screen SC_2. .

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the map display position and the map scale between the map display before moving to the detailed information display and the map display after returning from the detailed information display. And the display direction of the map can be matched. Thereby, the visibility and convenience of the map display when returning to the map display after transition from the map display to the detailed information display can be improved.

(Modification)
Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described. In the description of this modification, the same reference numerals are used for the components corresponding to the information processing system 1 in FIG. 6A to 6E are examples of screen transitions through zoom-in animation and rotation from map display to detailed information display as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the modification of the first embodiment. FIG. Specifically, FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a selection state of the first touring road R_1 on the map screen SC_1. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a screen SC_3 obtained by zooming in on a map in the vicinity of the first touring road R_1 with respect to the screen SC_1 in FIG. FIG. 6C is a diagram illustrating a screen SC_4 obtained by zooming in and rotating the map near the first touring road R_1 with respect to the screen SC_3 in FIG. 6B. FIG. 6D is a diagram showing a screen SC_5 obtained by zooming in and rotating the map near the first touring road R_1 with respect to the screen SC_4 in FIG. 6C. FIG. 6E is a diagram showing a detailed information screen SC_2. Thus, in the example of FIG. 6, when switching from the map display to the detailed information display, an animation display for zooming in while rotating the map is performed.

  The information processing system 1 of this modification differs from the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1 in that the control unit 22 displays a zoom-in animation on the output unit 24 when switching from map display to detailed information display. . The control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to display a zoom-in animation based on the map, the map scale of the map display, and the map scale of the detailed information display. That is, when switching the display from the map display to the detailed information display, the zoom-in animation is displayed by gradually changing from the map scale of the map display to the map scale of the detailed information display. The zoom-in animation is displayed when the scale of the map before transition (map display) is smaller than the map after transition (detailed information display). When the scale of the map before transition (map display) is larger than the map after transition (detailed information display), a zoom-out animation is displayed. When the map display direction is the same as the predetermined detailed information display direction (for example, north up), the screen need not be rotated when zooming in.

  According to this modification, by displaying the zoom-in animation, the transition from the map display to the detailed information display can be performed seamlessly, that is, seamlessly. As a result, the screen is switched while the user is aware of the scale switching direction (from wide area to detail, or from detail to wide area) and the degree of change, and the user recognizes the relationship between the scale of the map display and the detailed information display. It's easy to do. In addition, since the screen is switched while allowing the user to recognize the switching direction of the orientation and the degree of switching of the orientation by adding rotation in the case of fiber, the angle difference between the orientation of the map display and the detailed information display is recognized. Cheap. As a result, the visibility of the map can be further improved.

  When switching from the detailed information display to the map display, the control unit 22 may cause the output unit 24 to display a zoom-out animation based on the map. Similarly to the zoom-in animation, the control unit 22 may cause the output unit 24 to display the zoom-out animation based on the map, the map scale of the map display, and the map scale of the detailed information display. In the zoom-out animation, the map may be rotated in the opposite direction to that in the zoom-in animation. By displaying the zoom-out animation, the transition from the detailed information display to the map display can be performed seamlessly. As a result, the visibility of the map can be further improved.

  In addition to the above, the first embodiment may be variously changed. For example, an object that can be selected for displaying detailed information in the map display is not limited to the touring road, but may be the POI as an area or a spot such as a traffic jam line or administrative district described above. When selecting a traffic congestion line, you may set the display position and scale where only the traffic congestion line will be displayed when displaying detailed information, or specify the road related to the traffic congestion line and the specified road will fit on the screen The display position and scale may be set. When selecting a POI, a display position and a scale where the periphery of the POI fits may be set when displaying detailed information. There may be a plurality of types of objects that can be selected in the map display.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, an embodiment for displaying weather will be described as a second embodiment of the information processing system 1 according to the present invention. In the description of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the components corresponding to the first embodiment, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating an example of screen transition from map display to detailed information display as an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 7A is a diagram showing the map screen SC_1, and FIG. 7B is a diagram showing the detailed information screen SC_2.

  The information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that weather information is displayed in detailed information display as compared to the first embodiment. Specifically, in the second embodiment, the input unit 23 can select display of weather in a predetermined area in map display. The predetermined area is, for example, an area indicated by a map in map display. The predetermined area may be an area outside the area indicated by the map in the map display. The control unit 22 causes the output unit 24 to display the weather in the area indicated by the map in the detailed information display in response to the user's selection of weather display via the input unit 23.

  The selection of weather information display by the input unit 23 may be performed as a touch operation of the button B_4 on the map screen SC_1 as shown in FIG. By touching the button B_4, as shown in FIG. 7B, a three-dimensional rainfall graph G may be superimposed and displayed on the map as weather information.

  Here, when displaying weather information, it is easier to grasp the rain spot when showing a certain area rather than showing a local area. In addition, it is easier to grasp the precipitation location when displaying the weather information in the north up where the geography can be easily grasped at the absolute position than in the heading up where the geography can be easily grasped in relation to the traveling direction. In addition, in order to show precipitation at the height of the rainfall graph G at various places on the map, 3D bird's-eye view display is easier to understand than 2D. For this reason, on the detailed information screen SC_2 in FIG. 7B, a map with a reduced scale (30 km) smaller than that in FIG. Further, the detailed information screen SC_2 in FIG. 7B includes a button B_5 for returning to the map screen SC_1 in FIG.

  The weather information may be acquired by the communication unit 20 from an external server (not shown).

  According to the second embodiment, the same map screen SC_1 as the map screen SC_1 before the transition to the weather display can be displayed by touching the button B_5 after the transition to the weather display. Thereby, similarly to 1st Embodiment, the visibility and convenience of map display in the case of returning to map display after changing from map display to detailed information display can be improved.

  Note that the second embodiment may be variously changed. For example, similarly to the modification of the first embodiment, switching between map display and detailed information display may be made seamless by zooming in or zooming out. Further, the map may be rotated in either the horizontal direction or the vertical direction.

  In addition to weather information, pollen information and disaster information (such as tsunami information) may be displayed. Pollen information and disaster information may be acquired by the communication unit 20 from an external server.

  At least a part of the information processing system described in the above-described embodiment may be configured by hardware or software. When configured by software, a program for realizing at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be stored in a recording medium such as a flexible disk or a CD-ROM, and read and executed by a computer. The recording medium is not limited to a removable medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk, but may be a fixed recording medium such as a hard disk device or a memory.

  Further, a program that realizes at least a part of the functions of the information processing system may be distributed via a communication line (including wireless communication) such as the Internet. Further, the program may be distributed in a state where the program is encrypted, modulated or compressed, and stored in a recording medium via a wired line such as the Internet or a wireless line.

  Furthermore, the information processing system may be caused to function by one or a plurality of information processing apparatuses. When a plurality of information processing apparatuses are used, one of the information processing apparatuses may be a computer, and the function may be realized as at least one means of the information processing system by the computer executing a predetermined program.

  Based on the above description, those skilled in the art may be able to conceive additional effects and various modifications of the present invention, but the aspects of the present invention are not limited to the individual embodiments described above. . Various additions, modifications, and partial deletions can be made without departing from the concept and spirit of the present invention derived from the contents defined in the claims and equivalents thereof.
