For example, the guide information display device 1 can be used as a digital signage before the user holds the visible code 21 over the guide information display device 1 or in a standby state after a predetermined time has elapsed after displaying the route guidance. In this case, the signage management server 9 monitors the state of the guidance information display device 1, determines whether the guidance information display device 1 is in a standby state or displaying guidance information, and transmits display data such as advertisements according to the state. Operations such as display or switching display contents at a predetermined timing are controlled.

  The storage unit 33 of the computer 3 stores programs and data for displaying route guidance information and information related to guidance destinations. The control unit 30 reads the program and data stored in the storage unit 33 and executes processing according to this program.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of data stored in the storage unit 33 of the guidance information display device 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 33 stores a 3D (three-dimensional) model 33a, a standby screen image 33b, a guide destination information list 33c, a guide destination image group 33d, a setting file 33e, route data 33f, and the like.

  The 3D model 33a is a group of information for drawing a map in three dimensions, and is used when map data that is a plan view is converted into a three-dimensional map. The route guidance information generated by the route guidance generation unit 32 is drawn on a three-dimensional map.

  The standby screen image 33b is data of an image displayed on the standby screen 51 (see FIG. 9) displayed on the display 5 when the guidance information display device 1 is in the standby state. The standby state is a state that is not used by the user, for example, before the user holds the visible code 21 over the guidance information display device 1 or after displaying route guidance information or the like, after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  The guide destination information list 33c (guide destination information group) is a data group in which the code information of the visible code 21 and the guide destination are associated with each other. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the code information (registration code) of the visible code 21 and the “facility name” of the guidance destination are associated with each other. The “facility name” of the guide destination is associated with coordinates ((x, y) coordinates in the floor) and installation areas (floor, which area, etc.) as position information. Further, “guidance No.” and “page ID”, which are identification information of facility guidance information, are associated with each code information. Code information is assigned different values and code image files for each language and visible code type (Mobile / Print) for the same guidance destination (facility).

  Specifically, as the code information of the guide for "1_facility name A", the English / mobile registration code "TokyoStation_Mobile_0001_EN" and the code image file name "qr_2-1_Mobile_EN.gif" Registration code “TokyoStation_Mobile_0001_JP” and code image file name “qr_2-1_Mobile_JP.gif”, English and paper media (Print) registration code “TokyoStation_Print_0001_EN” and code image file name “qr_2-1_Print_EN.gif” are registered respectively. ing. Further, the identification number (guidance No.) of the guidance information content of “facility name A” is “0001”, and detailed information regarding the guidance destination facility A is associated with the page ID “qr — 2−1”.

  The guidance destination image 33d is image data of a guidance destination store or the like. The guidance destination image 33d is read when displaying the route guidance information and displayed on the route guidance screen 52 or the like. The guidance destination image 33d is displayed, for example, on the guidance destination detailed information display section 52a of the route guidance screen 52 (guidance destination image 61 in FIG. 10) or displayed on the three-dimensional map display section 52b (guidance destination image in FIG. 10). 52c).

  The setting file 33e is setting information referred to when the route guidance generating unit 32 or the route guidance generating server 7 generates route data or route guidance information. For example, installation information such as an installation position and an installation direction of the guidance information display device 1 is set. The installation information in the setting file 33e is set for each guidance information display device 1.

  In the route data 33f, map information and a set of node / link data from a predetermined start point to an end point are stored as a file. The route guidance generating unit 32 generates route guidance information based on the route data 33f.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the node / link data of the route data 33f. FIG. 7 shows a floor map M1 of a certain floor. Among the nodes set in advance on each point of the floor map M1, the node N1 is the starting point and the nodes N2, N3, N4, N5, and N6 are passed through. The route to reach the node N7 (end point) is shown. A link connecting each node is a link. In the case of FIG. 7, the links R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are passed. The arrow indicates the course direction. Such node / link data defining which nodes and links are passed from the start point to the end point is determined for each guide destination and stored in the storage unit 33 as route data 33f.

  The route data 33f may be stored in advance in the storage unit 33 of the computer 3 of the guidance information display device 1, or may be acquired from the route guidance generation server 7 or the like via the network 36. Further, the route data 33f may be stored in a storage device accessible via the network 36 using a mechanism such as cloud computing.

Next, each functional unit of the computer 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
The code recognition unit 31 performs processing for reading and recognizing code information from the visible code 21 held by the user over the code reader 4. Based on the recognized code information, the code recognition unit 31 searches the guidance destination information list 33c for guidance destination and display language information and notifies the route guidance generation unit 32 of the information.

  The route guidance generation unit 32 acquires information on the guidance destination and display language recognized by the code recognition unit 31. In addition, the route guidance generation unit 32 acquires installation information (installation position and installation direction information) of the guidance information display device 1 from the setting file 33e. Then, node / link data (see FIG. 7) indicating the route to the guidance destination is obtained from the route data 33f of the storage unit 33, with the acquired installation information as the start point and the guidance destination as the end point. Then, route guidance information is generated based on the route data 33f.

  The route guidance information is data obtained by drawing a route from the start point to the end point on a three-dimensional map. When generating route guidance information, the route guidance generating unit 32 refers to the 3D model 33a and draws a mark such as an arrow indicating the route on the three-dimensional map in order based on the acquired node / link data of the route. To do. For example, a three-dimensional map showing an overall image overlooking from the installation position of the guidance information display device 1 that is the current location to the location of the guidance destination that is the destination is generated, and a route is drawn on the generated three-dimensional map with an arrow. . The arrow indicating the route is drawn on the three-dimensional map in consideration of the direction of the display 5 so that the user viewing the display 5 of the guidance information display device 1 can know the direction in which the user first moves (direction of initial movement). It is desirable that

  By displaying the overall route image and the initial movement direction in this way, the user can easily grasp the approximate route from the current location to the destination (guide destination), and either direction can be advanced in the initial movement. I can understand. For this reason, intuitive space grasping becomes possible.

  The signage management unit 34 displays information content such as advertisements transmitted from the signage management server 9 in a standby state, for example. It is desirable that the information content changes according to the current time, situation, and position. For example, it is desirable to generate information including advertisements of facilities around the place where the guidance information display device 1 is set and the current congestion status of the facilities. The signage management unit 34 accesses the signage management server 9 via the network 36 while displaying the route guidance information, acquires information content suitable for the guidance destination from the signage management server 9, and displays the information content on the display 5. You may do it.

Next, the operation of the guidance information display device 1 will be described.
FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram for explaining the processing flow of each part of the guidance information display device 1 performed in response to the operation of the user 7. FIG. 8 illustrates an operation when route data to each guidance destination is stored in advance in the storage unit 33 of the computer 3 of the guidance information display device 1.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the user approaches the guidance information display device 1 with a medium (paper medium 2 a or mobile terminal 2 b) on which the visible code 21 is printed or displayed (step S <b> 101), and places the medium in the code reader 4. Hold it over (step S102).

  It is assumed that a standby state is set before step S102, and a standby screen 51 as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display 5 of the guidance information display device 1, for example. The standby screen 51 displays a map around the place where the guidance information display device 1 is installed, an advertisement, and the like. The displayed content may be either a still image or a moving image. If necessary, the user may perform a touch operation on the screen before holding the visible code 21.

  When the user holds the visible code 21 over the code reader 4, the code reader 4 reads the visible code 21 (step S103). The computer 3 (code recognition unit 31) of the guidance information display device 1 identifies the code information based on the read information (step S104). The computer 3 (code recognition unit 31) searches the guidance destination information list 33c in the storage unit 33 based on the identified code information, and acquires information on the guidance destination and the display language (step S105).

  The computer 3 (route guidance generating unit 32) acquires route data (node / link data) from the installation position of the guidance information display device 1 to the guidance destination (step S106). Then, route guidance information is generated based on the acquired route data (step S107). The route guidance information includes detailed information of the guidance destination in addition to an arrow indicating the route drawn on the three-dimensional map, a mark (balloon) indicating the guidance destination, a guidance destination image, a mark indicating the current location, and the like. The route guidance information is generated in the display language acquired in step S105. The computer 3 (route guidance generating unit 32) sends the generated route guidance information to the display 5 (step S108).

  The display 5 displays route guidance information (step S108).

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the route guidance screen 52. As shown in FIG. 10, the route guidance screen 52 includes a guidance destination detailed information display unit 52a and a three-dimensional map display unit 52b.
The guidance destination detailed information display unit 52a displays detailed information such as the guidance destination image 61, the facility name of the guidance destination, the distance to the guidance destination, and the required time.
In the three-dimensional map display section 52b, a route 52d from the current location (installation position of the guidance information display device 1) to the guidance destination is displayed on the three-dimensional map. The route 52d is represented by an arrow or the like. Further, a mark (balloon or guide image) 52c indicating the guide destination is displayed at the position of the guide destination on the three-dimensional map, and a mark 52e indicating the current location is displayed at the current position (installation position of the guide information display device 1). Is done.

  The route guidance information is not limited to one screen, and may be displayed by switching a plurality of screens. An animation may be displayed. In that case, the computer 3 first displays an overall image of the route 52d from the current location to the guidance destination on the three-dimensional map, as shown in FIG. The three-dimensional map is desirably drawn so that the entire route is viewed from a direction that matches the direction of the line of sight of the user facing the display 5, for example.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11B, an arrow 52d is drawn so as to indicate the direction of the initial movement of the user, starting from the position of the user facing the display 5. In the example of FIG. 11B, since the arrow is drawn so as to proceed in the left direction, it is understood that the user should first proceed to the left. Alternatively, the guidance destination image 52c may be displayed in the vicinity of the mark 52e indicating the current location, and an arrow 52f indicating the traveling direction toward the guidance destination may be displayed on the guidance destination image 52c. Thereafter, the control unit 30 may display an animation that follows an arrow indicating the route 52d.

  In addition, when a route 52d or a point that becomes a landmark is included on the route 52d, it is desirable to display a mark 52g as a mark at a corresponding position on the three-dimensional map as shown in FIG. .

  The screen examples in FIGS. 9 to 12 are examples written in Japanese. However, when the display language identified from the code information in step S105 is English, the route guidance generation unit 32 of the computer 3 uses the English language. A route guidance screen 53a is generated. FIG. 13 shows an example of the route guidance screen 53a for English. Detailed information on guides and marks on the map are written in English.

  The route guidance generating unit 32 further requests the signage management unit 34 for display information corresponding to the information (guidance destination, display language) acquired in step S105 (step S109). The signage management unit 34 requests the signage management server 9 for detailed information such as information on the guide destination, detailed information on the peripheral facilities of the guide destination, advertisements, and the like, and acquires the information. The signage management unit 34 generates information content in the designated display language and sends it to the display 5 (step S110). When the signage management unit 34 requests the information content from the signage management server 9, information content can be generated by obtaining real-time information according to the requested date and time and the conditions such as the weather at that time.
