<Embodiment>
<Configuration>
A navigation system (corresponding to 100 in FIG. 1) according to an aspect of the present invention relates to a POI, and stores a map information including POI information (refer to 200 in FIG. 2) indicating POI information indicating the POI (FIG. 1). 104), a reception unit (corresponding to 102 in FIG. 1) for receiving an input related to a desired POI, a position information acquisition unit (corresponding to 106 in FIG. 1) for acquiring the current position of the host vehicle, And a setting unit (corresponding to 105 in FIG. 1) that sets a symbol indicating a desired POI received by the receiving unit at a higher priority than symbols indicating other POIs.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the navigation system 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the navigation system 100 includes a receiving unit 101, a receiving unit 102, an output unit 103, a storage unit 104, a CPU 105, and a position information acquisition unit 106. The navigation system 100 performs route guidance according to the input from the user, and displays identification information (for example, POI name, logo mark, etc.) indicating each POI.

  The receiving unit 101 is a communication interface having a function of communicating with an external device and exchanging information. The receiving unit 101 can receive, for example, POI information from an external device. In addition, the receiving unit 101 is a vehicle on which the navigation system 100 is mounted, and the position information acquisition unit that acquires position information indicating the current position of the vehicle is mounted outside the navigation system 100. Position information can also be received. The receiving unit 101 transmits various received information to the CPU 105.

  The receiving unit 102 has a function of receiving an input from a user of the navigation system 100 and transmitting it to the CPU 105. For example, regarding the POI information displayed on the map, the reception unit 102 inputs information (query) indicating what kind of POI is desired, selects a POI genre, and selects which POI is mainly displayed. Accepts input related to. The reception unit 102 can be realized by, for example, hardware keys provided in the navigation system 100, soft keys such as touch keys, and the like.

  The output unit 103 has a function of outputting instructed data to an external device in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 105. The output unit 103 may be realized, for example, by outputting a map displaying each POI information to a monitor or the like provided in the navigation system 100 according to the priority set by the navigation system 100. The monitor may be an external monitor connected to the navigation system 100.

  The storage unit 104 is a recording medium that stores various types of data including various types of programs and map information necessary for the operation of the navigation system 100. The storage unit 104 is realized by, for example, an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), or the like. The storage unit 104 stores POI information 200, which is information related to POI. Details of the POI information 200 will be described later. Although not shown, the storage unit 104 stores map information. The map information is information indicating the range of each city and the position of the road, and may include or be associated with information such as the POI position and its logo mark.

  The CPU 105 is a processor that executes a process to be executed by the navigation system 100 using a program and various data stored in the storage unit 104. When the CPU 105 causes the output unit 103 to output a map, the CPU 105 outputs a map preferentially displaying a symbol indicating the POI related to the POI desired by the user. Further, when performing route guidance, if the user inputs information related to POI, the CPU 105 performs route guidance with the shortest travel distance to the destination via the POI.

  The position information acquisition unit 106 has a function of acquiring information related to the current position of the vehicle on which the navigation system 100 is provided. The position information acquisition unit 106 can be realized by, for example, a positioning system represented by GPS (Global Positioning System). The position information acquisition unit 106 transmits the acquired current position to the CPU 105.

<Data>
FIG. 2 is a data conceptual diagram showing an example of POI information 200 that is information stored in the storage unit 104 and is an example of other information including a display name displayed on a map. The POI information 200 is information related to various POIs, and includes information such as the name, position, and content description. As shown in FIG. 2, the POI information 200 is information in which at least a POI name 201, a POI position 202, and explanation information 203 are associated with each other.

  The POI name 201 is information indicating the name given to each POI, and is information for specifying each POI.

  The POI position 202 is information indicating the location of the corresponding POI, and is represented here by longitude and latitude.

  The explanation information 203 is information indicating the contents of the corresponding POI. The information is used as, for example, an explanatory document when displaying a POI in a navigation system or the like.

  The genre 204 is information indicating to which genre the corresponding POI belongs. Although FIG. 2 shows an example in which one kind of genre is associated, a plurality of genres may be associated with one POI. The genre 204 is information used when performing POI genre search.

  The selection number 205 is information indicating the number of times (history) the corresponding POI or information related to the POI has been selected by the user. The number of selections 205 may be the total number of selections in the past, or may be the number of times counted in the most recent fixed period. Here, the selection of the corresponding POI means that, for example, the navigation system selects the destination from the user or the display of the detailed information is selected for the user to confirm the detailed information.

  The related POI 206 is information that can uniquely identify another POI when the corresponding POI is related to another POI (for example, a chain store of the same series). If there is no other related POI, the related POI 206 is blank.

  The POI information 200 is information that the navigation system 100 refers to when displaying a POI, and is also referred to when determining which POI information is to be displayed preferentially.

  Although not shown here, in the POI information 200, each POI may be further associated with information indicating the logo mark of the corresponding POI. Further, the logo mark may be stored in the storage unit 104 together with information indicating which POI the logo mark corresponds to.

<Operation>
From here, the operation of the navigation system 100 will be described. This process is executed every time an input of information regarding POI is received from the user. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the reception unit 102 of the navigation system 100 receives input of information related to the POI desired by the user from the user (Step S <b> 301). For example, the reception unit 102 receives an input of a genre regarding a desired POI. The accepting unit 102 transmits the accepted input content to the CPU 105.

  The CPU 105 searches the POI information 200 for a POI that matches the received input content with reference to the POI information 200 according to the received input content (step S302). For example, if the input of POI information is a POI genre, the genre 204 is referred to and a POI having a genre corresponding to the input genre is searched.

  The CPU 105 determines that the corresponding selection number 205 is a predetermined number (for example, ten times. The number of selections 205 is not limited to ten times, but is a suitable number for searching the POI from the selection number 205 among the POIs extracted by searching. It is determined whether or not there is any more (step S303). If there are POIs whose selection count 205 is a predetermined number or more (YES in step S303), the POI is set to a priority higher than the display priority of other POIs (step S304).

  The CPU 105 causes the output unit 103 to display a map that preferentially displays the logo mark of each POI in accordance with the set POI priority within a range displayed by the navigation system 100 on a monitor that displays a map ( Step S305). Here, “preferential display” means that only the logo mark of POI set to high priority may be displayed, or the logo mark of POI set to high priority stands out from the logo mark of other POIs. It is good also as displaying as follows. For example, a high-priority POI logo mark is displayed in the foreground, or a high-priority POI display mode is set to another high-priority. Display styles that differ from the logo mark of non-POI (for example, a symbol indicating a high priority POI is displayed so as to be surrounded by a bold line, or the brightness and color tone are adjusted so that the color is brighter than other symbols) Etc.).

  On the other hand, if there is no POI with the number of selections 205 greater than or equal to the predetermined number among the POIs obtained by the search (NO in step S303), the CPU 105 displays the logo mark of the searched POI on the output unit 103. The shown map is displayed (step S306).

  The CPU 105 determines whether an input for selecting one of the POIs displayed from the user is received via the receiving unit 102 (step S307). If an input for selecting one of the POIs has not been accepted (NO in step S307), the process ends.

  On the other hand, when an input for selecting one of the displayed POIs is received from the user (YES in step S307), the CPU 205 increments the POI by adding 1 to the selection count 205 corresponding to the selected POI. The information 200 is updated, and the process ends.

  In this way, the navigation system 100 can preferentially display the POI logo desired by the user on the map. Therefore, it is possible to provide a navigation system 100 that displays a POI suitable for each user. In addition, a user who uses each navigation system 100 can receive the selection input from the user via the touch panel as an input unit for the displayed POI logo mark and the like, and the number of selections can be added to the user. Can provide navigation specialized for

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing another example of the POI display method by the navigation system 100 and an operation example when performing the POI display method with route guidance. Since the processing shown in FIG. 4 is after step S303 in FIG. 3 and the processing up to step S307 is different, the description of the processing up to step S302 and the processing after step S307 is omitted. Here, the processing after step S303 is explained. To do.

  In step S303, when there is a selection number 205 that is greater than or equal to the predetermined number of POIs obtained by searching (YES in step S303), the CPU 105 determines whether or not there is route information (step S303). S401). This determination is made based on whether or not a route has already been set in the navigation system 100 or whether or not the receiving unit 102 has received a destination input from the user and is searching for a route in step S303.

  If there is route information (YES in step S401), the CPU 105 sets the shortest POI from the routes indicated by the route information to the highest priority from among the POIs whose number of selections is a predetermined number or more (step S402). . Here, the POI having the shortest route indicated by the route information is the POI genre received by the receiving unit 102 from the current position to the destination, and is close to the POI of the genre. This is the POI with the shortest route (travel distance) to the destination.

  The CPU 105 causes the output unit 103 to preferentially display the logo mark of the POI set to the highest priority (step S403), and displays the route information via the POI, and then proceeds to the process of step S307 in FIG. To do.

  In step S401, when there is no route information (NO in step S401), a POI having a number of selections equal to or greater than a predetermined number is set to a higher priority than the display priority of other POIs (step S404).

  The CPU 105 causes the output unit 103 to display a map that preferentially displays the logo mark of each POI in accordance with the set POI priority within a range displayed by the navigation system 100 on a monitor that displays a map ( Step S405). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S307 in FIG.

  CPU105 determines whether there exists route information, when there is no selection frequency more than predetermined number in POI obtained by searching (NO of step S303) (step S406).

  If there is route information (YES in step S406), the shortest POI from the route is set to the highest priority (step S407). The difference in the processing result between step S407 and step S402 appears as a difference in whether or not the result of the selection history by the user is reflected.

  The CPU 105 preferentially displays the logo mark of the POI set to the highest priority on the output unit 103 (step S408) and displays the route information via the POI, and then proceeds to the process of step S307 in FIG. .

  If there is no route information (NO in step S406), the CPU 105 causes the output unit 103 to display the POI searched in step S302 (step S409), and then proceeds to the process of step S307 in FIG. To do.

  By performing the processing shown in FIG. 4, the navigation system 100 can be used when the user wants to go to some POI (for example, a gas station) when the vehicle is traveling toward the destination. Thus, it is possible to provide a route that can approach the POI desired by the user with a route having the shortest distance to the destination. In particular, by using the selection history of the user so far, the navigation system 100 can specify a POI preferable for the user and propose a route that can be approached to the POI.

<Display example>
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of priority display when the processing illustrated in FIG. 3 is performed. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing a display example of a map before priority display is performed, and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a map display example after the processing shown in FIG. 3 is performed.

  In the map shown in FIG. 5A, each circle is a POI logo mark (see logo marks 503 and 504). In these logo marks, the same alphabets are assigned to the same series of POIs.

  In such a map, depending on the scale of the map, a plurality of POIs may have to be displayed overlapping each other. For example, as shown in an area surrounded by a dotted line 501a in FIG. 5, three logo marks “A”, “B”, and “C” are displayed in an overlapping manner, or are shown in an area surrounded by a dotted line 502a. In addition, two logo marks “A” and “I” may be displayed in duplicate.

  At this time, according to the navigation system 100, by receiving input of information related to a desired POI from the user, it is possible to preferentially display the information related to the POI (logo mark). For example, the navigation system 100 displays the logo as shown in the area surrounded by the dotted line 501b in FIG. 5B when the information related to the user's desired POI is related to the store of the series “A”. By displaying the mark “A” in the foreground or displaying only the logo mark “A” as shown in the area surrounded by the dotted line 502b, priority display can be performed. In the map shown in FIG. 5B, an example of different priority display is shown by dividing the area (see 501b and 502b). However, in reality, the navigation system 100 uses the unified priority for the entire map. Display.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of priority display when the processing illustrated in FIG. 4 is performed. FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a display example of a map before the priority display is performed, and FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating a map display example after the processing illustrated in FIG. 4 is performed.

  FIG. 6A is a display example when the navigation system 100 displays a map in a state where the route 603 from the host vehicle 601 to the destination 602 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 6A, a plurality of POI logo marks are also displayed in the map display range. At this time, it is assumed that the accepting unit 102 accepts an input about a store of the “A” series as a desired POI from the user.

  Then, the CPU 105 of the navigation system 100 searches for stores of the “A” series. Here, for the sake of brevity, the selection number 205 is not touched. The CPU 105 searches the “A” series stores 613, 615, and 617 within the predetermined range from the own vehicle 611 for the searched “A” series stores. Then, a route to the destination 612 is searched through each searched store. In the example of FIG. 6B, a route 614 indicated by a dotted line passing through the store 613, a route 616 indicated by a solid line passing through the store 615, and a route 618 indicated by a one-dot chain line passing through the store 617 are formulated. Suppose that

  The CPU 105 calculates the distance from the current position of each of the established routes 614, 616, 618 to the destination 612. As a result, the CPU 105 causes the output unit 103 to present the route 616 having the shortest distance from the current position to the destination 612 as a route to reach the destination 612 via the store “A”. Therefore, conventionally, when the route 614 that passes through the store A613 that is the closest store from the current position is presented, the navigation system 100 is not the route 614 that passes through the store A613 that is closest to the current location, but the destination 612. It is possible to present a route 616 that has the shortest travel distance of the route up to and through the desired store A.

<Summary>
The navigation system 100 can preferentially display information on the POI desired by the user in accordance with the input from the user. Therefore, the navigation system 100 can provide a map that allows the user to confirm the location of the POI desired by the user at a glance even when information on a large number of POIs is displayed on the map.

  In addition, when performing route guidance for a desired POI, the navigation system 100 can perform route guidance so that the route from the present to the nearest POI is the shortest to the destination. . The said structure can suppress that a user will be burdened when the path | route to the destination becomes long conversely according to the latest POI.

  (5) In the above embodiment, when presenting a route to the destination after approaching the desired POI input by the user, an example is presented in which the route with the shortest distance is presented. However, this is not the case. The navigation system 100 may present a route other than the shortest according to the setting related to the route proposal in the navigation system 100 set by the user. Examples of routes other than the shortest route include routes with the least number of right and left turns, routes with a small amount of traffic, and routes that travel as much as possible on roads with many lanes, but are not limited thereto. is not. Thus, a navigation system with excellent usability can be provided by proposing a route other than the shortest route.
