Have. The genre information included in the facility information SJH is information in which genres are hierarchized. At least the upper genre information (first genre information) indicating the highest upper genre (first genre) and the facilities classified into the upper genres. Detailed genre information (second genre information) indicating a detailed genre (second genre) for further classifying (first facility) is associated with each other. For example, the genres of “fast food”, “hamburger”, “ramen”, and “gyudon” will be described. When “fast food” is high-level genre information, “hamburger” is used as detailed genre information of “fast food”. ”,“ Ramen ”, and“ Gyudon ”. That is, in this case, the genres for further classifying “fast food” are “hamburger”, “ramen”, and “gyudon”.

  The touch panel 12 includes a display panel 12a (display unit) and a touch sensor 12b (detection unit).

  The display panel 12 a has a panel such as a liquid crystal display or an EL (Electro Luminescent) display, and displays various information under the control of the control unit 10.

  The touch sensor 12b is arranged so as to overlap the display panel 12a, detects a user's contact operation, and outputs it to the control unit 10. The contact operation refers to an operation performed when a predetermined position of the touch panel 12 is touched by an indicator such as a fingertip. Specifically, when the touch panel 12 is touched, the touch sensor 12b outputs a signal indicating a touched position (hereinafter referred to as “contact position”) to the control unit 10. Some capacitive touch panels and the like detect an operation when the indicator comes close to the touch panel even when there is no physical contact of the indicator with the touch panel. The detected operation is also included in the concept of the contact operation of this embodiment.

  When a signal indicating the contact position is input from the touch sensor 12b, the control unit 10 determines the contact position in a predetermined coordinate system for representing an arbitrary position of the display panel 12a by coordinates based on the input signal. Coordinates (hereinafter referred to as “contact position coordinates”) are detected.

  The GPS receiver 13 receives GPS radio waves from GPS satellites via the GPS antenna 13a, and obtains the position coordinates indicating the current position of the vehicle and the traveling direction from the GPS signals superimposed on the GPS radio waves by calculation. The GPS receiving unit 13 outputs the acquisition result to the control unit 10.

  The relative orientation detection unit 14 includes a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor (not shown). The gyro sensor is constituted by, for example, a vibrating gyroscope and detects a relative direction of the vehicle (for example, a turning amount in the yaw axis direction). The acceleration sensor detects acceleration (for example, vehicle inclination with respect to the traveling direction) acting on the vehicle. The relative orientation detection unit 14 outputs the detection result to the control unit 10.

  The vehicle information acquisition unit 15 acquires a vehicle signal related to the state of the vehicle on which the navigation device 1 is mounted, and outputs the vehicle signal to the control unit 10. The vehicle signal includes at least a vehicle speed pulse signal indicating the traveling speed of the vehicle.

The voice input / output unit 16 collects, for example, the voice of the user who is in the vehicle by the microphone 16 a under the control of the control unit 10. The voice input / output unit 16 outputs voice based on the voice data input from the control unit 10 from the speaker 16b, and outputs, for example, guidance information for route guidance by voice.

By the way, in order to set the destination of the route on which the vehicle travels, the user may search for a facility located on the map based on a genre for classifying the facility. However, when the user does not know the genre of the destination facility or when searching for the wrong genre, the user repeatedly searches for the facility. Even if a list of genres of facilities is displayed and a target genre is selected from among them, the number of genres for classifying facilities is enormous, and it is difficult to narrow down the genres of facilities as destinations.
Therefore, the navigation device 1 of the present embodiment performs the following operation.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the navigation device 1.

  The control unit 10 of the navigation device 1 determines whether or not there has been a touch operation (hereinafter referred to as “touch operation”) (first operation) that is touched with two fingers on a screen that displays a map based on the map data 11a. A determination is made (step SA1). When there is a touch operation with two fingers (hereinafter referred to as “two fingers”) (step SA1: YES), the control unit 10 designates a position 1 based on the contact position of the two fingers. The designated position is set (step SA2).

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the setting of the designated position.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, when a touch operation with two fingers is performed on a screen 100 that displays a map, the control unit 10 sets a designated position. More specifically, when the finger F1 and the finger F2 contact the screen 100, the control unit 10 determines the contact position P1 based on a signal indicating the contact position P1 of the finger F1 and a signal indicating the contact position P2 of the finger F2. The contact position coordinates and the contact position coordinates of the contact position P2 are detected.

  Next, the control unit 10 acquires intermediate coordinates that are intermediate coordinates between the contact position coordinates of the contact position P1 and the contact position coordinates of the contact position P2 in a predetermined coordinate system. For example, when the contact position coordinates of the contact position P1 are (x1, y1) and the contact position coordinates of the contact position P2 are (x2, y2), the control unit 10 ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) The coordinates of / 2) are acquired as intermediate coordinates.

  Next, when acquiring the intermediate coordinates, the control unit 10 specifies a position on the screen 100 corresponding to the intermediate coordinates. In the case of FIG. 3, the control unit 10 specifies the position Pt as the position on the screen 100 corresponding to the intermediate coordinates. Next, when the position Pt is specified, the control unit 10 acquires a position corresponding to the position Pt for the position on the map displayed on the screen 100. When acquiring the position on the map corresponding to the position Pt, the control unit 10 sets the position as the designated position.

  The method for setting the designated position is not limited to the method described above.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 2, the control unit 10 searches for peripheral facilities located around the set designated position based on the map data 11a (step SA3). The control unit 10 sets a circle area having a preset radius (for example, 1 km) on the map with the designated position as the center as a search area for searching for a peripheral facility, and a facility located in the search area as a peripheral facility. Search for.

  Next, the control unit 10 targets the searched peripheral facility, refers to the genre information associated with the facility information SJH of the peripheral facility, and specifies the number of peripheral facilities classified into the genre for each genre indicated by the genre information. To do. Here, the control unit 10 specifies the number of peripheral facilities (first facilities) classified into the higher genre for each higher genre indicated by the higher genre information in the hierarchical genre information (step SA4).

  Next, the control unit 10 displays upper genre information indicating the upper genre having a large number of peripheral facilities based on the number specified for each upper genre (step SA5). In the present embodiment, the control unit 10 displays the top five top genre information with a large number of peripheral facilities. For example, out of 100 peripheral facilities, 30 peripheral facilities classified in the higher genre of “fast food”, 20 peripheral facilities classified in the upper genre of “convenience store”, and “gas station” 20 surrounding facilities, 10 surrounding facilities classified in the upper genre of “Familys”, 10 surrounding facilities classified in the upper genre of “Parking”, and classified in the upper genre of “Super” If there are 5 peripheral facilities and 5 peripheral facilities classified in the top genre of “Drug Store”, the top 5 “Fast Food”, “Convenience Store”, “Gas Station”, “ The upper genre information indicating “family restaurant” and “parking lot” is displayed. In the present embodiment, the case of displaying the top five genre information with a large number of cases is exemplified, but the number of top genre information to be displayed is arbitrary, for example, the top four cases or the top six cases may be displayed. Good.

When the button IB is operated, the control unit 10 changes the map displayed in the corresponding map area 100b. This will be described later.

  The facility display area 100c is located in the search area and displays a list of facility name images indicating names of peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the detailed genre image displayed in the detailed genre area SJA of the operation area 100a. That is, the facility name image is assigned an identification number, and the identification number assigned to the facility name image corresponds to the identification number assigned to the facility position image displayed in the corresponding map area 100b. Thus, the user can recognize where the peripheral facility indicated by the facility name image displayed in the facility display area 100c is located in the search area.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the facility display area 100 c is located in the search area, and has a facility name as a peripheral facility classified into one of the detailed genres of “hamburger”, “ramen”, and “gyudon”. Images NG1 to NG8 are displayed. The facility name image NG1 indicates a peripheral facility with the name “ABC Burger A”, and is given an identification number of “1”. The facility name image NG2 indicates a peripheral facility having the name “DEF Burger B Store”, and is given an identification number “2”. The facility name image NG3 shows a peripheral facility with the name “ABC Burger C Store”, and is given an identification number of “3”. The facility name image NG4 shows a peripheral facility with the name “ZZZ Beef Bowl D” and is given an identification number of “4”. The facility name image NG5 shows a peripheral facility with the name “ZZZ Gyudon E shop”, and is given an identification number of “5”. The facility name image NG6 shows a peripheral facility with the name “XXX Burger F store”, and is given an identification number of “6”. The facility name image NG7 shows a peripheral facility with the name “VVV Ramen G store”, and is given an identification number of “7”. The facility name image NG8 shows a peripheral facility with the name “YY Ramen H store”, and is given an identification number of “8”. The identification numbers “1” to “8” assigned to the facility name images NG1 to NG8 respectively correspond to the identification numbers “1” to “8” assigned to the facility position images IG1 to IG8 displayed by the corresponding map area 100b. doing.

  In FIG. 5, the facility display area 100c does not display the facility name images corresponding to the facility position images IG9 to IG12, but the facility position image IG9 is displayed when the user operates the button SHB indicating “display further”. The facility name image corresponding to IG12 is displayed. In the present embodiment, the button SHB is provided when the information on the peripheral facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c exceeds eight cases.

  As described above, when the cursor image CS moves to the selection image for selecting the upper genre information and determines that the upper genre information is selected, the control unit 10 displays the operation area 100a and the corresponding map area on the screen 100. 100b and a facility display area 100c are provided. As described above, the operation area 100a is an area for selecting peripheral facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c. The corresponding map area 100b is an area for displaying a map corresponding to the search area and the positions of surrounding facilities according to the operation of the operation area 100a. The facility display area 100c is an area for displaying the names of surrounding facilities according to the operation of the operation area 100a. Therefore, the user can select a peripheral facility located in the search area using the operation region 100a, and can confirm the position and name of the peripheral facility according to the operation. Improve sexiness.

  In addition, the control unit 10 detects a touch operation and displays high-level genre information indicating high-level genres of peripheral facilities located in the search area with the specified position as a reference at a predetermined interval with the specified position as a reference. A first display process indicating the process is performed, a drag operation is detected, a second display process is performed that is classified into the upper genre indicated by the selected upper genre information and is a process for displaying peripheral facilities located in the search area. . Therefore, the user can display peripheral facilities located in the search area and classified in the selected high genre by selecting a high genre by touch operation and drag operation. Can be searched and a genre can be selected.

  In addition, the following effects can be obtained when the first display process and the second display process are executed using a two-finger touch operation and a drag operation as a trigger. Normally, when performing an operation on the screen 100, the number of fingers may be one. Here, by using two fingers as a trigger, the user can distinguish from a normal contact operation, and erroneous operations on the screen 100 can be suppressed.

  As described above, the control unit 10 changes the map displayed in the corresponding map area 100b in accordance with the operation of the button IB.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining changes in the map displayed in the corresponding map area 100b.

  In the description of FIG. 6, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 6, when the screen 100 is viewed from the front, the upward direction is the upward direction, the downward direction is the downward direction, the left direction is the left direction, The direction to the right is the right direction.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the button IB includes an upper button IBT for moving the map upward, a lower button IBD for moving the map downward, and a map displayed on the map displayed by the corresponding map area 100b. The left button IBL for moving the map to the left and the right button IBR for moving the map to the right button.

  The control unit 10 changes the map displayed in the corresponding map area 100b in accordance with operations on the up button IBT, the down button IBD, the left button IBL, and the right button IBR. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user operates the down button IBD with the finger F, the control unit 10 moves downward from the set designated position by a predetermined distance on the map. The set position is reset as the specified position. And the control part 10 displays the map corresponding to the search area centering on the reset designated position on the corresponding map area 100b. As described above, the control unit 10 moves the map displayed in the corresponding map area 100b downward by the down button IBD, and changes the map displayed in the corresponding map area 100b. At this time, the map displayed on the screen 100 also moves downward by a predetermined distance as the map of the corresponding map region 100b moves.

  The control unit 10 resets the position corresponding to the operation of the button IB as the designated position, and changes the search area. Therefore, the control unit 10 changes the peripheral facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b as the search area moves. That is, the control unit 10 displays the facility name image and the facility position image according to the operation of the button IB.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the down button IBD is operated with the finger F and the corresponding map area 100b no longer displays the peripheral facilities corresponding to the facility position image IG3, that is, the peripheral facilities are within the search area. When it is no longer positioned, the control unit 10 does not display the facility name image NG3 in the list of facility name images displayed in the facility display area 100c. At this time, the control unit 10 newly reassigns the identification number. When a peripheral facility that is located in the moved search area and is classified into the detailed genre is newly searched by operating the down button IBD, a facility position image and a facility name image related to the peripheral facility are displayed. .

  As described above, by operating the button IB, it is possible to execute a search for facilities located outside the search area based on the first designated position, and the information on the surrounding facilities changes as the search area moves, so that the user Convenience can be improved. In particular, when there is no peripheral facility desired by the user in the search area based on the first designated position, it is not necessary to set the designated position again by the contact operation.

  In addition, although the button IB illustrated the structure provided with each button about the up-down and left-right directions, it is not limited to this, For example, the structure provided with the button for a map to move to the diagonal direction may be sufficient.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, when the peripheral facility classified into the upper genre indicated by the upper genre image corresponding to the selected image to which the cursor image CS has moved is displayed, the control unit 10 selects the displayed peripheral facility. It is determined whether or not to execute a filter process that is a process based on the above operation (step SA9).

  When it is determined that the filter process is to be executed (step SA9: YES), the control unit 10 executes the filter process (step SA10). Here, as a filtering process performed by the control unit 10, a filtering process based on a detailed genre and a filtering process based on an initial of the name of the surrounding facility will be exemplified, and the filtering process will be described.

<Filter processing based on detailed genre>
First, filter processing based on the detailed genre will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the navigation device 1 when the filtering process based on the detailed genre is executed.

  The control unit 10 of the navigation device 1 determines that the filtering process is to be performed when the detailed genre image displayed in the detailed genre area SJA is touched, and determines whether the detailed genre is selected (step SB1). ). For example, when the control unit 10 performs a contact operation (hereinafter referred to as “tap operation”) for releasing the detail genre image displayed in the detailed genre area SJA immediately after the user touches the screen 100, the details are displayed. It is determined that a genre has been selected.

  When the detailed genre image detects a tap operation by the user, the control unit 10 determines that the detailed genre has been selected (step SB1: YES), and displays surrounding facilities classified into the selected detailed genre (step SB2). ).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the screen 100 when the detailed genre is selected.

  A screen 100 illustrated in FIG. 8A is the same as the screen 100 illustrated in FIG. That is, the screen 100 transitions when the user selects the upper genre image JG1 indicating “fast food” on the screen 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 8A illustrates a case where the user selects the detailed genre image SJ2 with the finger F.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the detailed genre image SJ2 is selected by the user by a tap operation, the control unit 10 changes the screen 100 to the screen 100 shown in FIG. 8B.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the detailed genre image is selected, the control unit 10 selects the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the selected detailed genre image among the peripheral facilities located in the search area. Do not display other facilities. That is, the control unit 10 displays the facility name image in the facility display area 100c and the facility position image in the corresponding map area 100b for peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the selected detailed genre image. do not do.

  FIG. 8B illustrates a case where a detailed genre indicating “ramen” is selected by the user and peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen” are displayed. As shown in FIG. 8A, when the detailed genre image SJ2 indicating “ramen” is selected, the control unit 10 displays the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c as shown in FIG. 8B. Among the displayed peripheral facilities, peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities classified in the detailed genre indicating “ramen” are not displayed. That is, the control unit 10 displays the facility position images IG7 to IG9 of peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen” among the facility position images IG1 to IG12 in the corresponding map region 100b, and other peripheral facilities The facility location image is not displayed. In addition, in the facility display area 100c, the control unit 10 displays the facility name images NG7 to NG9 among the facility name images corresponding to the facility position images IG1 to IG12, and does not display the facility name images of other surrounding facilities. At this time, the control unit 10 reassigns the identification numbers to the facility position images IG7 to IG9 and the facility name images NG7 to NG9 to be displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 8B, since there are three peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen”, the facility display area 100c is not provided with the button SHB indicating “further display”.

  The detailed genre image SJ2 indicating the selected “ramen” is displayed in a different color from the other detailed genre images. In the case illustrated in FIG. 8B, the detailed genre image SJ2 indicating “ramen” is displayed in a different color from the detailed genre image SJ1 indicating “hamburger” and the detailed genre image SJ3 indicating “gyudon”. Accordingly, the user can recognize which detailed genre the peripheral facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c are classified into.

  Thus, by selecting the detailed genre displayed in the detailed genre area SJA, the names and positions of the peripheral facilities are not displayed for the peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities classified into the selected detailed genre. Therefore, by selecting a detailed genre image, peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the non-selected detailed genre image are not displayed, so that the peripheral facilities can be easily narrowed down, and the peripherals classified into the selected detailed genre are also displayed. Since the name and position of the surrounding facility can be confirmed for the facility, the convenience of the user is improved in searching for the surrounding facility.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 7, when it is determined that the detailed genre is not selected (step SB1: NO), the control unit 10 accepts the movement of the detailed genre (step SB3). For example, when the user performs a contact operation (hereinafter referred to as “hold operation”) that does not move for a predetermined period while touching the screen 100 with respect to the detailed genre image, the control unit 10 selects the detailed genre. Without a determination, a detailed genre movement operation (exclusion operation) is accepted.

  Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the detailed genre image has moved to the detailed genre excluded area JAJA (step SB4). When it is determined that the detailed genre image has moved to the detailed genre excluded area JJA (step SB4: YES), the control unit 10 selects peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the detailed genre image moved to the detailed genre excluded area JJA. Then, the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c are excluded from the objects of the surrounding facilities (step SB5).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the screen 100 when the detailed genre image is moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JJA.

  The screen 100 illustrated in FIG. 9A is a screen 100 that is transitioned to when the user selects a higher genre indicating “fast food” in the screen 100 illustrated in FIG. FIG. 9A illustrates a case where the user performs a drag operation with the finger F on the detailed genre image SJ1 indicating “hamburger” from the detailed genre area SJA to the detailed genre excluded area JJA.

  When detecting a hold operation on the detailed genre image SJ1 indicating “hamburger”, the control unit 10 receives an operation of moving the detailed genre image SJ1. Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the detailed genre image SJ1 is moved to the detailed genre excluded area JJA by the drag operation, the control unit 10 changes the screen 100 to the screen 100 shown in FIG. 9B. Transition.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the detailed genre image SJ1 receives an operation of moving to the detailed genre exclusion area JAJ, the control unit 10 selects the moved detailed genre image among the peripheral facilities located in the search area. The peripheral facilities except the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre shown are displayed. That is, the control unit 10 includes, in the facility display area, peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities classified in the detailed genre indicated by the detailed genre image moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JJA among the peripheral facilities located in the search area. The name image is displayed, and the facility position image is displayed in the corresponding map area 100b. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the detailed genre image moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JJA is not displayed.

  FIG. 9B illustrates a case where the detailed genre indicating “hamburger” is excluded by the user and peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen” and “gyudon” are displayed. As shown in FIG. 9A, when the detailed genre image SJ1 indicating “hamburger” moves to the detailed genre excluded area JJA as shown in FIG. 9A, as shown in FIG. Among the peripheral facilities displayed in the display area 100c, the peripheral facilities except for the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “hamburger” are displayed. That is, the control part 10 is a facility position image that is a facility position image of a peripheral facility classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen” and “gyudon” among the facility position images IG1 to IG12 in the corresponding map region 100b. IG4, facility position image IG5, facility position image IG7, facility position image IG8, facility position image IG9, facility position image IG10, and facility position image IG12 are displayed. Further, the control unit 10 displays the facility position image IG4, the facility position image IG5, the facility position image IG7, the facility position image IG8, the facility position image IG9, the facility position image IG10, and the facility position image IG12 in the facility display area 100c. The corresponding facility name images NG4, facility name image NG5, facility name image NG7, facility name image NG8, facility name image NG9, facility name image NG10, and facility name image NG12 are displayed. At this time, the control unit 10 reassigns the identification number to the facility position image displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility name image displayed in the facility display area 100c. In the example shown in FIG. 9B, since the total of the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen” and “gyudon” is seven, “further display” is displayed in the facility display area 100c. The button SHB is not provided.

  As described above, when the user moves the detailed genre image displayed in the detailed genre area SJA to the detailed genre excluded area JAJ by a drag operation, the moved detailed genre image of the peripheral facilities located in the search area indicates. For the peripheral facilities excluding the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre, the names and positions of the peripheral facilities are displayed. Therefore, by excluding peripheral facilities classified in the detailed genre that the user does not want, it is possible to easily narrow down the peripheral facilities, and the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c are displayed in accordance with the narrowing down. Since the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre not desired by the user can be excluded from the facilities, the convenience of the user is improved in searching for the peripheral facilities.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 7, the control unit 10 excludes the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JJA from the peripheral facilities to be displayed in the corresponding map area 100 b and the facility display area 100 c. After that, it is determined whether or not the button MB indicating “return” has been operated by the user (step SB6). When button MB is not operated (step SB6: NO), control part 10 ends filter processing. On the other hand, when the button MB indicating “return” is operated (step SB6: YES), the control unit 10 displays again the detailed genre image moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JJA in the detailed genre area SJA (step SB7). ). Next, the control unit 10 includes peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the detailed genre image displayed again in the detailed genre region SJA, and displays the peripheral facilities in the corresponding map region 100b and the facility display region 100c (step SB8). .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the detailed genre image indicating “ramen” is moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JAJ, and is classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen” as shown in FIG. 9B. In this case, it is assumed that the button MB indicating “return” is operated. The control unit 10 displays the detailed genre image indicating “ramen” again in the detailed genre area SJA, and displays the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genres indicating “ramen”, “hamburger”, and “gyudon”. Are displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c.

  In this way, by operating the button MB indicating “return”, the control unit 10 displays again the detailed genre image moved to the detailed genre exclusion area JJA in the detailed genre area SJA, and the details indicated by the detailed genre image. A peripheral facility including a peripheral facility classified as a genre is displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c. Therefore, since the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre excluded by the user can be displayed again by operating the button MB indicating “return”, when displaying the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre once excluded, It can be displayed again with a simple touch operation, improving the convenience for the user.

<Filter processing based on the initial letters of the names of surrounding facilities>
Next, the filtering process based on the initial letters of the names of surrounding facilities will be described.

  When executing the filtering process based on the initial name of the peripheral facility name, the control unit 10 displays a screen 100 for executing the filtering process based on the initial name of the peripheral facility name. The control unit 10 displays the screen 100 when the button KB indicating the “initial” provided in the operation area 100a is operated. As will be described later, in this case, the control unit 10 provides an initial region KA for displaying initial information indicating initials of names of surrounding facilities as an initial image instead of the detailed genre region SJA in the operation region 100a. . In addition, the control unit 10 provides an initial character exclusion area KJA for excluding an initial image in the operation area 100a instead of the detailed genre exclusion area JMS.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the navigation device 1 when executing the filtering process based on the initials of the names of the surrounding facilities.

  The control unit 10 of the navigation device 1 determines that the filter process is to be executed when a contact operation is performed on the initial image displayed by the initial region KA. Then, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the initial information has been selected (step SC1). Next, when it is determined that an initial image has been selected (step SC1: YES), the peripheral facility of the initial name indicated by the selected initial image is displayed (step SC2).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the screen 100 when an initial image is selected.

  A screen 100 shown in FIG. 11A is a screen 100 displayed when the user selects the button SB indicating “Initial”. In FIG. 4A, a genre indicating “fast food” is selected. In this case, the screen 100 displayed is exemplified.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, when the user selects the button SB indicating “Initial Character”, the initial character area KA is provided in the operation area 100a instead of the detailed genre area SJA. An initial image is displayed as initial information in the initial region KA. In FIG. 9, an initial image KG1 indicating an initial “A”, an initial image KG2 indicating an initial “D”, an initial image KG3 indicating an initial “Z”, and an initial “X” are displayed in the initial area KA. ”, An initial image KG5 indicating the initial character“ V ”, and an initial image KG6 indicating the initial character“ Y ”. These acronym images are located in the search area and indicate the initial letters of the names of the surrounding facilities that are classified into the genre of “fast food”. That is, the name of the surrounding facility indicated by the facility position image displayed in the corresponding map area 100b is any one of “A”, “D”, “Z”, “X”, “V”, and “Y”. Indicates an initial letter. Further, as shown in FIG. 11A, the control unit 10 provides an initial exclusion area KJA in the operation area 100a. When the user moves the initial image from the initial region KA to the initial exclusion region KJA, the control unit 10 executes processing to be described later.

  FIG. 11A illustrates a case where the user selects the initial image KG2 with the finger F. For example, when the user performs a tap operation on the initial image displayed in the initial region KA, the control unit 10 of the navigation device 1 determines that the initial image is selected, and the screen 100 is displayed as shown in FIG. A transition is made to the screen 100 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when an initial image is selected, the control unit 10 starts with the initial character indicated by the selected initial image among the peripheral facilities located in the search area based on the name information. Do not display other facilities other than the one with the name. That is, the control unit 10 does not display the facility name image in the facility display area 100c and the facility position image in the corresponding map area 100b for the peripheral facility having the initial name indicated by the selected initial image.

  FIG. 11B illustrates a case where an initial character indicating “D” is selected by the user, and a peripheral facility with the initial character name indicating “D” is displayed. When the initial image KG2 indicating “D” is selected as shown in FIG. 11A, the control unit 10 displays the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c as shown in FIG. 11B. Among the displayed peripheral facilities, peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facility having the initial name “D” are not displayed. That is, in the corresponding map area 100b, the control unit 10 displays only the facility position image IG2 of the surrounding facility having the initial name “D” among the facility position images IG1 to IG12, and displays other facility position images. Do not show. Moreover, the control part 10 displays the facility name image NG2 corresponding to the facility position image IG2 among the facility name images corresponding to the facility position images IG1 to IG12 in the facility display area 100c, and displays other facility name images. do not do. At this time, the control unit 10 reassigns an identification number to the facility position image IG2 and the facility name image NG2 to be displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 11B, since there is only one peripheral facility with the initial name “D”, the control unit 10 provides a button SHB indicating “further display” in the facility display area 100c. Absent.

  The initial image KG2 indicating the selected “D” is displayed in a different color from the other initial images. In the case shown in FIG. 11B, the detailed genre image SJ2 indicating “D” includes an initial image KG1 indicating “A”, an initial image KA3 indicating “Z”, and an initial image indicating “X”. KA4, the initial image KA5 indicating “V”, and the initial image KA6 indicating “Y” are displayed in different colors. As a result, the user can recognize which initial name is the peripheral facility displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c.

  As described above, by selecting the initial image displayed in the initial region KA, the name and position of the peripheral facility for the peripheral facility other than the peripheral facility of the initial name indicated by the selected initial image. Is not displayed. Therefore, by selecting the initial image, the peripheral facilities of the initial name indicated by the initial image that is not selected are not displayed, so that the peripheral facilities can be easily narrowed down. Since the name and position can be confirmed, the convenience of the user is improved when searching for surrounding facilities. In addition, when the names of the peripheral facilities desired by the user are recognized, the peripheral facilities can be quickly narrowed down by narrowing down the peripheral facilities based on the detailed genre.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 10, when it is determined that the initial image is not selected (step SC1: NO), the control unit 10 accepts the movement of the initial image (step SC3). For example, when the user performs a hold operation on the initial image, the control unit 10 does not determine that the initial image is selected, but accepts an operation for moving the initial image (exclusion operation).

  Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the initial image has moved to the initial exclusion area KJA (step SC4). When it is determined that the initial image has moved to the initial exclusion area KJA (step SC4: YES), the control unit 10 determines the peripheral facility of the initial name indicated by the initial image moved to the initial exclusion area KJA, It excludes from the object of the peripheral facilities displayed on the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c (step SC5).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the screen 100 when the initial image moves to the initial exclusion area KJA.

  The screen 100 illustrated in FIG. 12A is displayed when the user selects the upper genre indicating “fast food” and selects the button KB indicating “initial” on the screen 100 shown in FIG. 4A. This is a transition screen 100. FIG. 12A illustrates a case where the user moves the initial image KG3 indicating “Z” from the initial region KA to the initial exclusion region KJA by a drag operation with the finger F.

  When detecting a hold operation on the initial image KG3 indicating “Z”, the control unit 10 accepts an operation for moving the initial image KG3. Then, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the initial image KG3 is moved to the initial exclusion area KJA by a drag operation, the control unit 10 changes the screen 100 to the screen 100 shown in FIG. Let

  As shown in FIG. 12B, when the initial image KG3 receives an operation of moving to the initial exclusion area KJA, the control unit 10 indicates the moved initial image among the peripheral facilities located in the search area. Displays the surrounding facilities except the ones with the initial name. That is, the control unit 10 sets the facility name in the facility display area 100c for the peripheral facilities that are located in the search area, except for the peripheral facilities with the initial name indicated by the initial image moved to the initial exclusion area KJA. The image is displayed, and the facility position image is displayed in the corresponding map area 100b.

  In FIG. 12B, the initial image KG3 indicating “Z” is excluded by the user, and the names of the initial characters indicating “A”, “D”, “X”, “V”, and “Y” are excluded. The case where a peripheral facility is displayed is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 12A, when the initial image KG3 indicating “Z” is moved to the initial exclusion area KJA, the control unit 10, as shown in FIG. Of the peripheral facilities displayed in the display area 100c, the peripheral facilities except for the peripheral facility with the initial name “Z” are displayed. That is, in the corresponding map area 100b, the control unit 10 includes the vicinity of the initial name indicating “A”, “D”, “X”, “V”, and “Y” among the facility position images IG1 to IG12. The facility position images IG1 to IG3 and the facility position images IG7 to IG12, which are facility position images of the facility, are displayed. Moreover, the control part 10 is the facility name image NG1-NG3 and the facility name image NG7 which are the facility name images corresponding to the facility position images IG1 to IG3 and the facility position images IG7 to IG12 in the facility display area 100c. ~ NG12 is displayed. At this time, the control unit 10 reassigns the identification number to the facility position image displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility name image displayed in the facility display area 100c. In the example shown in FIG. 12B, the total number of peripheral facilities with initial names “A”, “D”, “X”, “V”, and “Y” is nine. In the facility display area 100c, 8 out of 9 are displayed. In this case, the control unit 10 is provided with a button SHB indicating “further display” in the facility display area 100c, and displays the ninth case when the user operates the button SHB.

  As described above, when the user moves the initial image displayed in the initial region KA to the initial-exclusion region KJA by a drag operation, the initial image displayed in the peripheral facility located in the search region is indicated. For the peripheral facilities except the peripheral facility with the initial name, the name and position of the peripheral facility are displayed. Therefore, by excluding peripheral facilities with names that the user does not want, it is possible to easily narrow down the peripheral facilities, and with this narrowing, the user can select from the peripheral facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c. Since a peripheral facility with an undesired name can be excluded, convenience for the user is improved in searching for the peripheral facility.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart in FIG. 10, the control unit 10 displays the peripheral facility having the initial name indicated by the initial image moved to the initial exclusion region KJA in the corresponding map region 100 b and the facility display region 100 c. Then, it is determined whether or not the button MB indicating “return” has been operated by the user (step SC6). When the button MB indicating “return” is not operated (step SC6: NO), the control unit 10 ends the filtering process. On the other hand, when the button MB indicating “return” is operated (step SC6: YES), the control unit 10 displays the initial image moved to the initial exclusion area KJA again in the initial area KA (step SC7). ). Next, the control unit 10 includes the peripheral facility having the initial name indicated by the initial image displayed again in the initial region KA, and displays the peripheral facility in the corresponding map region 100b and the facility display region 100c (step SC8).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the initial image indicating “Z” is moved to the initial exclusion area KJA, and as shown in FIG. 12B, the name of the initial character indicating “Z” is changed. It is assumed that the button MB indicating “return” is operated when the peripheral facilities are excluded. The control unit 10 displays the initial image indicating “Z” again in the initial region KA, and displays “A”, “D”, “Z”, “X”, “V”, and “Y”. Is displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c.

  In this way, by operating the button MB indicating “return”, the control unit 10 displays the initial image moved to the initial exclusion area KJA and returns it to the initial area KA, which is indicated by the initial image. The peripheral facilities including the peripheral facility with the initial name are displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c. Therefore, since the facility around the name of the initial character indicated by the initial image excluded by the user can be displayed again by operating the button MB indicating “return”, the name of the initial character indicated by the initial character image excluded once is displayed. When the peripheral facility is displayed again, it can be displayed again with an easy operation, which improves the convenience for the user.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, when executing the filtering process, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the destination has been set (step SA11). If it is determined that the destination is set (step SA11: YES), the control unit 10 displays a route to the destination (step SA12).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining setting of a destination.

  FIG. 13A illustrates the screen 100 after the filter process is executed, and illustrates the screen 100 when the detailed genre image SJ2 of “ramen” illustrated in FIG. 8B is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, facility name images NG7 to NG9 are displayed in the facility display area 100c for the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicating “ramen”, and facilities in the corresponding map area 100b. Position images IG7 to IG9 are displayed. The facility name images NG7 to NG9 and the facility position images IG7 to IG9 are displayed so as to be selectable. FIG. 13A illustrates a case where the user selects the facility name image NG7 indicating “VVV ramen shop” with the finger F.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, when the user selects a facility name image, the control unit 10 makes detailed information on the peripheral facility for the peripheral facility indicating “VVV ramen shop” as shown in FIG. A button SSB for displaying information and a button MSB for setting a peripheral facility as a destination are displayed.

  When the user selects and operates the button SSB on the screen 100 shown in FIG. 13 (B), as shown in FIG. 13 (C), the control unit 10 uses the map data 11a to indicate the peripheral facility indicating “VVV ramen shop”. Name information, information indicating the characteristics of the surrounding facility, information indicating the telephone number of the surrounding facility, information indicating the address, information indicating business hours, and the like are displayed on the screen 100. The control unit 10 may be configured to acquire and display these information from the server by a communication unit (not shown) that communicates with the server. In the case of this configuration, it is possible to display more detailed information on surrounding facilities.

  As shown in FIG. 13C, the control unit 10 cancels the display of the button MSB for setting the peripheral facility as the destination and the detailed information of the peripheral facility together with the detailed information on the peripheral facility. Button GMB is provided. When the button MSB is selected by the user, the control unit 10 sets the peripheral facility indicating the “VVV ramen shop” as the destination, and indicates the current position M of the vehicle as shown in FIG. The route to the destination is displayed (step SA12).

  13B, when the button MSB is selected by the user, the control unit 10 sets a peripheral facility indicating “VVV ramen shop” as a destination, and as shown in FIG. 13D, The current position M of the vehicle is displayed and the route to the destination is displayed (step sA12).

  Here, returning to the description of step SA6 in the flowchart of FIG. 2, when the control unit 10 determines that two fingers are not in contact with the screen 100 (step SA6: NO), the peripheral facility is displayed regardless of the upper genre. (Step SA18). That is, in FIG. 4A, when the cursor image CS is not moved to any selected image and two fingers are separated from the screen 100, the periphery located in the search area indicated by the search area image KG regardless of the upper genre. The facility is displayed (step SA18). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 10 provides a facility display area 100c, a corresponding map area 100b, and an operation area 100a on the map, and displays surrounding facilities regardless of the upper genre. Thus, even when the user searches for a nearby facility regardless of the upper genre, the user can narrow down the nearby facility by the detailed genre or initial.

  Returning to the description of step SA7 in the flowchart of FIG. 2, when the control unit 10 determines that the position of the cursor image CS is not located on the selected image corresponding to the upper genre image (step SA7: NO), It is determined whether or not it is located on the selected image SG6 corresponding to the genre display image JG6 indicating "other genres" (step SA13). When it is determined that the cursor image CS has moved to the selected image SG6 corresponding to the genre display image HG indicating “to other genres” (step SA13: YES), the control unit 10 selects higher genres other than the upper five. The upper genre information shown is displayed (step SA14).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen 100 displayed when “other genre” is selected.

  FIG. 14A shows a case where the user selects a genre display image HG indicating “other genres” with two fingers on the screen 100 displaying the upper genre information when the designated position is set. Illustrate.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, when a genre display image HG indicating “genre other than this” is selected by the user, as shown in FIG. Displays the top genre information. That is, as shown in FIG. 14B, the control unit 10 superimposes and displays the upper genre images JG7 to JG12 indicating upper genre information other than the upper five. The upper genre image JG7 is an image showing upper genre information of “administrative facility”. The upper genre image JG8 is an image showing upper genre information of “cafe”. The upper genre image JG9 is an image showing upper genre information of “drug store”. The upper genre image JG10 is an image showing upper genre information of “hospital”. The upper genre image JG11 is an image indicating upper genre information of “super”. The upper genre image JG12 is an image showing upper genre information of “shopping”. The upper genres indicated by the upper genre images JG7 to JG12 are upper genres in which the number of peripheral facilities is the upper six or less in the search area.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the control unit 10 displays the selection images SG7 to SG12 for selecting the upper genre images JG7 to JG12 superimposed on the map. The selection image SG7 is an image for selecting the upper genre image JG7 indicating “administrative facility”. The selection image SG8 is an image for selecting the upper genre image JG8 indicating “cafe”. The selection image SG9 is an image for selecting the upper genre image JG9 indicating “drug store”. The selection image SG10 is an image for selecting the upper genre image JG10 indicating “hospital”. The selection image SG11 is an image for selecting the upper genre image JG11 indicating “super”. The selection image SG12 is an image for selecting the upper genre image JG12 indicating “shopping”. Each of selection image SG7 to selection image SG12 is displayed in the vicinity of the upper genre image so as to correspond to the upper genre image to be selected. That is, the selection image SG7 is displayed in the vicinity of the upper genre image JG7 so as to correspond to the upper genre image JG7, and the selection image SG8 is displayed in the vicinity of the upper genre image JG8 so as to correspond to the upper genre image JG8. SG9 is displayed in the vicinity of the upper genre image JG9 so as to correspond to the upper genre image JG9, the selected image SG10 is displayed in the vicinity of the upper genre image JG10 so as to correspond to the upper genre image JG10, and the selected image SG11 is displayed in the upper order. It is displayed near the upper genre image JG11 so as to correspond to the genre image JG11, and the selected image SG12 is displayed near the upper genre image JG12 so as to correspond to the upper genre image JG12.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the control unit 10 displays the genre selection image JSG indicating “to genre selection screen” together with the upper genre images JG7 to JG12. A selection image SG13 for selecting the genre selection image JSG is displayed in the vicinity of the genre selection image JSG.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart in FIG. 2, when the control unit 10 displays the top genre information other than the top five having a large number of surrounding facilities, it is determined whether or not the genre selection image JSG indicating “to genre selection screen” is selected. Is determined (step SA15). When the higher genre image is selected instead of the genre selection image JSG indicating “to genre selection screen”, the control unit 10 displays peripheral facilities classified into the higher genre indicated by the selected higher genre image. On the other hand, when the genre selection image JSG indicating “to genre selection screen” is selected (step SA15: YES), the control unit 10 displays a list of genres (step SA16).

  In the case of the example in FIG. 14B, when the user moves the cursor image CS to the selected image SG13 by a drag operation, the control unit 10 based on the map data 11a as shown in FIG. A list of genre information indicating the genres of peripheral facilities located in the search area is displayed. As described above, by providing the screen 100 for displaying the list of genre information for the genres of the peripheral facilities located in the search area, even when there is no upper genre desired by the user among the upper genres having a large number of cases, Selection can be made by displaying a list of higher genres.

  As shown in FIG. 14C, when the genre selection image JSG indicating “To genre selection screen” is selected, the control unit 10 displays a list of genres of peripheral facilities located in the search area. The genres displayed in the list are displayed so that genre images can be selected as genre information. When the user selects one genre image from the list, the control unit 10 accepts the selection of the genre image (step SA17) and displays peripheral facilities classified into the genre indicated by the genre image.

  As described above, the navigation apparatus 1 (information processing apparatus) according to the present embodiment displays the image and the storage unit 11 that stores the map data 11a including the map information TJH and the facility information SJH including the genre information. Display panel 12a (display unit) to be displayed, and display panel 12a displays a map based on map information TJH, accepts a selection operation for a genre for classifying a facility searched based on facility information SJH, and accepts it on the map And a control unit 10 that displays facilities classified into genres according to the operation performed.

  As a result, the selection operation can be performed for the genre for classifying the searched facilities, and the facilities are displayed according to the selection operation. Therefore, the facilities can be easily narrowed down in the facility search.

  The genre information includes first genre information (first genre information) indicating a higher genre (first genre) for classifying facilities, and a detailed genre (further genre) for further classifying facilities (first facilities) classified into higher genres Detailed genre information (second genre information) indicating the second genre). The control unit 10 displays selectable detailed genre information corresponding to the higher-level genre information of the searched peripheral facilities, and when the detailed genre information is selected, the peripheral facility (categorized into the detailed genre displayed on the display panel 12a ( Among the second facilities), peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the detailed genre information other than the selected detailed genre information are not displayed.

  By selecting the detailed genre image displayed in the detailed genre area SJA, the facility position image and the facility name image are displayed for peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the selected detailed genre image. Not. Therefore, by selecting a detailed genre image, peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the non-selected detailed genre image are not displayed, so that the peripheral facilities can be easily narrowed down, and the peripherals classified into the selected detailed genre are also displayed. Since the name and position of the surrounding facility can be confirmed for the facility, the convenience of the user is improved in searching for the surrounding facility.

  The control unit 10 displays detailed genre information associated with the upper genre information of the searched peripheral facilities. In addition, the control unit 10 receives a movement operation (exclusion operation) for excluding peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the displayed detailed genre information from the peripheral facilities displayed on the display panel 12a. When the detailed genre information receives an operation of moving to the detailed genre exclusion area JAJ, the control unit 10 displays the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre indicated by the moved detailed genre information on the peripheral facility displayed on the display panel 12a. Remove from the subject.

  By moving the detailed genre image displayed in the detailed genre area SJA to the detailed genre exclusion area JAJ by the drag operation, the peripheral genre located in the search area is classified into the detailed genre indicated by the moved detailed genre image. For the peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities to be displayed, the names and positions of the peripheral facilities are displayed. Therefore, by excluding peripheral facilities classified in the detailed genre that the user does not want, it is possible to easily narrow down the peripheral facilities, and the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c are displayed in accordance with the narrowing down. Since the peripheral facilities classified into the detailed genre not desired by the user can be excluded from the facilities, the convenience of the user is improved in searching for the peripheral facilities.

  The facility information SJH includes name information indicating the name of the facility. When the upper genre information is selected, the control unit 10 displays information on the positions and names of peripheral facilities classified into the upper genre indicated by the selected upper genre information. Moreover, the control part 10 displays the initial information which shows the initial of the name of a surrounding facility so that selection is possible about the surrounding facility classified into the selected high-order genre based on name information. When the initial information is selected, the control unit 10 does not display the peripheral facility with the initial name indicated by the initial information other than the selected initial information among the peripheral facilities displayed on the display panel 12a.

  By selecting the initial image displayed in the initial region KA, the facility position image and the facility name image are not displayed for peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facility of the initial name indicated by the selected initial image. . Therefore, the selection of the initial image does not display the peripheral facilities of the initial name indicated by the initial image that is not selected, so the peripheral facilities can be easily narrowed down, and the initial character indicated by the selected initial image Since the name and position of the peripheral facility can be confirmed for the peripheral facility of the name, the convenience of the user is improved in searching for the peripheral facility.

  In addition, when the upper genre information is selected, the control unit 10 displays information on the positions and names of peripheral facilities classified into the upper genre indicated by the selected upper genre information. Moreover, the control part 10 displays the initial information which shows the initial of the name of a surrounding facility about the surrounding facility classified into the selected high-order genre. In addition, the control unit 10 receives a movement operation (exclusion operation) for removing the peripheral facility having the initial name indicated by the displayed initial character information from the target of the peripheral facility displayed on the display panel 12a. When the control unit 10 receives an operation in which the initial information is moved to the initial exclusion area KJA, the control unit 10 selects the peripheral facility of the initial name indicated by the moved initial information from the peripheral facilities displayed on the display panel 12a. remove.

  When the user moves the initial image displayed in the initial region KA to the initial exclusion region KJA by a drag operation, the peripheral facility located in the search region is classified into the initial characters indicated by the moved initial image. For the peripheral facilities other than the peripheral facilities to be displayed, the names and positions of the peripheral facilities are displayed. Therefore, by excluding peripheral facilities with initial names that the user does not want, the peripheral facilities can be easily narrowed down, and the peripheral facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c in accordance with this narrowing down Therefore, it is possible to exclude peripheral facilities with initial names that the user does not want from, so that convenience for the user is improved in searching for peripheral facilities.

  In addition, the control unit 10 receives designation of a position on the map displayed on the display panel 12a, searches for peripheral facilities located around the designated position, and displays the genre information of the peripheral facilities for the searched peripheral facilities on the display panel 12a. Is displayed in a selectable manner. When the upper genre information is selected, the control unit 10 displays peripheral facilities classified into the upper genre indicated by the selected upper genre information.

  Thereby, since the higher genre information of the peripheral facilities located around the designated position is displayed in a selectable manner, the peripheral facilities can be searched by selecting the higher genre information, and the facilities can be easily searched by the higher genre. In particular, since the top genres with a large number of surrounding facilities are displayed preferentially, it is easier for the user to select a genre than when the user selects a genre from among a large number of facilities. Easy to do.

  In addition, the navigation device 1 includes a touch sensor 12b (detection unit) that detects a touch operation on the screen 100 that displays information including a map. When the touch operation (first operation) for designating a position on the map displayed on the screen 100 is detected by the touch sensor 12b, the control unit 10 uses the genre information of the searched peripheral facilities as a reference for the designated position. Display at predetermined intervals. When the touch operation is detected and then the touch sensor 12b detects a drag operation (second operation) for selecting the displayed genre information, the control unit 10 is classified into the genre indicated by the selected genre information. Display nearby facilities.

  Accordingly, when the screen 100 such as the touch panel 12 is operated by touching with a finger or the like, the peripheral facilities classified into the selected genre can be displayed by the contact operation corresponding to the first operation and the second operation. The user can search for facilities by a simple contact operation.

  In addition, when the upper genre information is selected, the control unit 10 provides a corresponding map area 100b and a button IB (movement button) for moving the designated position on the map. When the button IB is operated, the control unit 10 moves the designated position in accordance with the operation of the button IB, and moves the map displayed by the corresponding map area 100b according to the movement of the designated position, so that the corresponding map area 100b is displayed. The surrounding facilities displayed in the corresponding map area 100b and the facility display area 100c are made different according to the movement of the map to be performed.

  As a result, the facility other than the search area can be searched by moving the designated position with the move button, so that convenience for the user is improved.

  The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of one aspect of the present invention, and can be arbitrarily modified and applied without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
