Then, the transmission application transmits the transmission information to the navigation device 12 by being executed. At this time, the transmission application may transmit one type of transmission information or two or more types of transmission information, for example. The transmission application is, for example, an application having only a function of transmitting transmission information to the navigation device 12.

The information for identifying the spot is, for example, information indicating the name of the spot, information indicating the address of the spot, a telephone number of the spot, an ID of the spot, and the like. Further, the type of point does not matter. The types of points are, for example, intersections, parking lots, rest areas, tourist attractions, stations, shops such as restaurants, destinations desired by the user, and the like.

  Further, for example, when the point information indicates a destination, the point information is destination information which is information indicating the destination. Further, for example, when the spot information indicates a parking lot, the spot information is parking lot information which is information indicating the parking lot. Further, for example, when the point information indicates a point (for example, a gas station) where the mobile body is refueled, the point information is the fuel replenishment point information which is the information indicating the refueling point.

  In addition, the information indicating the position will be appropriately referred to as position information hereinafter. The position indicated by the position information is usually the latitude and longitude. Further, the position may be coordinates on the map, for example. Further, the position may include height (altitude), for example.

  The map update information is, for example, a so-called difference of map information. Here, the map information is information about the map. Further, the type of map indicated by the map information and the data format of the map information do not matter. The type of the map is, for example, a topographic map, a topographic map, a geological map, a land use map, a residential map, a route map, a road map, a guide map, an aerial photograph, a satellite photograph, or the like. The data format is, for example, raster data, vector data, or KIWI format.

Road information is information about roads on a map. The road on the map is usually a section that constitutes the road on the map (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as a road section). Further, the road information has, for example, information for identifying the road, information indicating the type of the road, information indicating the positions of both ends of the road, and the like. The information for identifying the road is usually information indicating the name of the road. The information for identifying the road may be the road ID, for example. The road information has, for example, information indicating the score of the road, the number of lanes on the road, the traveling direction of the road, and the like. The score is usually a cost used for route search.

  From the above, the point update information is information having point information, road information, and the like, for example. The spot information is, for example, information indicating a newly created spot, a deleted spot, or the like. The road information is, for example, information indicating a newly created road, a deleted road, or the like. Further, the point information, the road information, and the like may be associated with, for example, information indicating that the information is newly created or deleted. The information is a so-called flag.

  Further, the map update information is usually information used for updating a part of the map information. Further, the map update information may be, for example, information used for updating all of the map information.

  In addition, the transmission application is usually associated with one or more types of transmission information transmitted by the transmission application. The method or method of the association is not limited. The term “corresponding” means that, for example, a correspondence table of information for identifying a transmission application and information for identifying transmission information is stored in the storage unit 111. In addition, “corresponding” means that, for example, a storage area (for example, a folder) used by the transmission application is predetermined, and the transmission information is stored in the storage area. In addition, for example, when the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is not stored in the storage unit 111, the transmission information is not associated with the transmission application.

  The process of accumulating the transmission information in the storage unit 111 does not matter. Transmission information is stored in the storage unit 111 via an input device, a communication line, a recording medium, and the like. The transmission information is stored by, for example, a storage unit (not shown).

May be associated. The order information is, for example, a flag indicating which point is to be reached first, a flag indicating which point is to be reached later, and a numerical value indicating the order of arrival.

  The order information associated with the two pieces of location information is usually information input by the user. The order information associated with the two spot information is, for example, information associated with spot information input in two input fields having an order according to the order of the input fields. Good. For example, it is assumed that the point information is input to each of two input fields for inputting point information (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as field A and field B). Further, it is assumed that the order of the two input fields is the order of the field A and the field B. In such a case, the spot information input in the field A is associated with, for example, a flag indicating that the destination is reached first. The information input to the field B is associated with, for example, a flag indicating that the information will arrive later.

  The execution determination unit 112 determines whether the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. The execution condition is a condition regarding execution of the transmission application. The execution condition is, for example, a condition related to the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12. Further, the determination of whether or not the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition is hereinafter referred to as execution determination as appropriate.

  The execution condition is that communication between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is normally established. The communication being established means that the communication state of the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is changed from the communication-disabled state to the communication-enabled state, for example. The execution condition may be, for example, that the mobile terminal 11 receives the information transmitted by the navigation device 12. The information is, for example, a so-called beacon signal. That is, the execution conditions are, for example, that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is so close that the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 is a communicable positional relationship. It can be said that it is in.

  The execution determination unit 112 acquires the communication state between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12, for example. Acquiring the communication state specifically means acquiring information indicating the communication state. Then, the execution determination unit 112 determines whether the acquired communication state has changed from the communication disabled state to the communication enabled state. The determination is a determination as to whether communication has been established. When the communication state changes from the communication disabled state to the communication enabled state, the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. When the communication state is the communication disabled state, the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 does not satisfy the execution condition.

  The execution determination unit 112 also determines whether or not a reception unit (not shown) has received the information transmitted by the navigation device 12, for example. Then, when received, the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. If not received, the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 does not satisfy the execution condition.

  In addition, the execution determination unit 112 makes the execution determination, for example, periodically (every time when a predetermined period elapses).

  In addition, the execution determination unit 112 may acquire information indicating the result of determining whether or not the execution condition is satisfied, for example. The information is usually a so-called flag.

  It should be noted that in one device (here, the mobile terminal 11), a method or procedure for determining whether or not communication with another device (here, the navigation device 12) is established, and one device (here, Then, the method and the procedure for determining whether or not the information transmitted by the other device (here, the navigation device 12) is received in the mobile terminal 11) are known, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted. To do.

  The transmission information presence / absence determining unit 113 determines whether the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is stored in the storage unit 111. Hereinafter, this determination will be referred to as transmission information presence / absence determination as appropriate. For example, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines whether or not the transmission information is associated with the transmission application executed by the application execution unit 114 described below. Then, if they correspond to each other, the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines that the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is stored in the storage unit 111. If they do not correspond to each other, the transmission information presence / absence determining unit 113 determines that the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is not stored in the storage unit 111.

  Further, the transmission information presence / absence determining unit 113 may perform the transmission information presence / absence determination, for example, when the execution determining unit 112 determines that the positional relationship between the mobile terminal 11 and the navigation device 12 satisfies the execution condition. ..

  Further, the transmission information presence / absence determining unit 113 may acquire information indicating a result of determining whether the transmission information transmitted by the transmission application is stored in the storage unit 111, for example. The information is usually a so-called flag.

  The application execution unit 114 executes the transmission application when the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship satisfies the execution condition. The transmission application is a transmission application stored in the storage unit 111. Further, the transmission application is usually predetermined. Further, the transmission application may be, for example, one transmission application selected by the user from one or more transmission applications stored in the storage unit 111. In this case, the application execution unit 114 outputs, for example, a user interface for selecting one transmission application from among one or two or more transmission applications. The application execution unit 114 holds the user interface in advance, for example. Then, the application execution unit 114 receives an application selection instruction from the user via the user interface. The application selection instruction is an instruction to select a transmission application. Then, the application execution unit 114 executes the transmission application selected by the application selection instruction.

  Note that acceptance means acquisition of information input from an input device such as a touch panel or keyboard, reading of information stored in a recording medium such as an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or a semiconductor memory, or a wired or wireless communication line. It is a concept including reception of information transmitted by the user.

  In the application execution unit 114, for example, the execution determination unit 112 determines that the positional relationship satisfies the execution condition, and the transmission information presence / absence determination unit 113 determines that the transmission information is stored in the storage unit 111. In that case, the transmission application may be executed.

  In addition, the transmission application executed by the application executing unit 114 transmits predetermined transmission information to the navigation device 12. The predetermined transmission information is transmission information stored in the storage unit 111, and is one or more types of transmission information associated with itself (transmission application). The transmission of the transmission information by the transmission application executed by the application execution unit 114 is usually performed by the transmission unit 115 described below. That is, the application execution unit 114 interprets the program code (command) of the transmission application and performs processing according to the result of the interpretation. Then, for example, when the program code is an instruction to transmit the transmission information, the application execution unit 114 follows the instruction to transmit the transmission information associated with the transmission program being executed to the navigation device 12, An instruction is given to the transmission unit 115 described later. Hereinafter, the instruction will be appropriately referred to as a transmission information transmission instruction.

  The transmission unit 115 transmits one or more types of transmission information to the navigation device 12. Specifically, according to the transmission information transmission instruction from the application execution unit 114, the transmission unit 115 transmits the transmission information specified by the instruction.

  For example, the transmission information transmission instruction has transmission information to be transmitted. In this case, the transmission unit 115 transmits the transmission information to the navigation device 12.

  Further, for example, the transmission information transmission instruction has information for identifying transmission information to be transmitted. In this case, the transmission unit 115 acquires the transmission information identified by the information from the storage unit 111. Then, the transmission unit 115 transmits the acquired transmission information to the navigation device 12.

  Further, the transmission unit 115 may transmit the transmission information, for example, according to an instruction from the user. In this case, the transmission unit 115 outputs, for example, a user interface for selecting whether to permit the transmission of the transmission information before transmitting the transmission information according to the transmission information transmission instruction from the application execution unit 114. .. The user interface is held in the transmission unit 115 in advance, for example. Then, the transmission unit 115 receives a transmission permission instruction or a transmission non-permission instruction from the user via the user interface. The transmission permission instruction is an instruction to permit transmission of transmission information. The transmission disapproval instruction is an instruction not to permit the transmission of the transmission information. Then, the transmission unit 115 transmits the transmission information when, for example, a transmission permission instruction is received. Further, the transmission unit 115 does not transmit the transmission instruction when, for example, the transmission non-permission instruction is received.

  Further, for example, when the transmission information is two pieces of location information, the transmission unit 115 may associate the order information with the two pieces of location information and transmit the pieces of information to the navigation device 12. In this case, the transmission unit 115 outputs, for example, a user interface for inputting sequence information before transmitting the two pieces of location information. The user interface is held in the transmission unit 115 in advance, for example. Then, the transmission unit 115 receives the order information from the user via the user interface. Then, the transmission unit 115 associates the received order information with each other and transmits the two pieces of location information. If the order information is already associated with the two pieces of location information, the transmission unit 115 transmits the two pieces of location information together with the associated order information.

  The transmitting unit 115 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a broadcasting means.

  The navigation map information storage unit 121 stores map information.

  The navigation receiver 122 receives one or more types of transmission information from the mobile terminal 11. The navigation receiving unit 122 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast.

  The navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 acquires current position information. The current position information is information indicating the current position. The current position is the current position of the navigation device 12. The current position is also the current position of the moving body in which the navigation device 12 is installed, for example. In addition, the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 acquires the current position information, for example, periodically (every time when a predetermined period elapses). Further, the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 acquires the current position information, for example, every time there is an instruction. The instruction is, for example, an instruction from the user or an instruction from the navigation processing unit 124 described later.

  The navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 normally acquires the current position information from a satellite navigation system (GPS receiver or the like) or a device that receives the position information from a base station for mobile communication. In this case, the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 may have these devices or may be realized by these devices. The processing procedure of the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM.

  The navigation processing unit 124 performs processing according to the transmission information. The transmission information is one or more types of transmission information received by the navigation receiving unit 122. Further, the processing is, for example, acquisition of information, update of information, or the like.

  For example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives the spot information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires, for example, route information indicating a route from the current position to the spot indicated by the spot information. Specifically, the navigation processing unit 124 searches for a route from the current position indicated by the current position information to the point indicated by the point information by using the map information, the current position information, and the point information. The map information is map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. The current position information is the current position information acquired by the navigation current position information acquisition unit 123. Then, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires route information which is information indicating the route. The route information has, for example, one or more pieces of position information indicating a position through which the route passes. Further, the route information has, for example, road information indicating a road connecting the one or more positions.

  Moreover, a solution method (algorithm) of the shortest path problem is usually used for the search of the path. The “solution of the shortest path problem” is, for example, the Dijkstra method or the A * algorithm. Since these solutions are known, detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, since the method and procedure for acquiring the route information are publicly known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, for example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives the point information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires, for example, map information indicating a map including the point indicated by the point information. Hereinafter, the acquired map information will be appropriately referred to as output map information. Specifically, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information and the point information, and outputs output map information indicating a map of a predetermined area including the point with the point indicated by the point information as the center. get. The map information is map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. That is, it can be said that the output map information is, for example, map information indicating a part of the map indicated by the map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121. In addition, from one piece of map information (here, map information stored in the navigation map information storage unit 121), map information (here, output map information) showing a part of the map indicated by the map information is acquired. Since methods and procedures are well known, detailed description will be omitted.

  Further, for example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives two pieces of point information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires, for example, route information and output map information. In this case, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information, the current position information, and the point information of one of the two point information, from the current position indicated by the current position information to the point indicated by the point information. The route up to is searched and the route information indicating the route is acquired. Further, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information and the other point information of the two point information to output output map information indicating a map including the point indicated by the point information, to the navigation map information storage unit 121. To get from. Further, in this case, it is preferable that the two pieces of point information are, for example, destination information and parking lot information. Then, it is preferable that the navigation processing unit 124 acquires the route information by using the destination information, for example. In addition, it is preferable that the navigation processing unit 124 acquires the output map information using the parking lot information, for example. Further, it is preferable that the parking lot information is, for example, information indicating a parking lot near the destination indicated by the destination information.

  Further, for example, when the navigation receiving unit 122 receives two pieces of point information, the navigation processing unit 124 acquires only the route information, for example. In this case, the navigation processing unit 124 uses the map information, the current position information, and the two pieces of point information to find one of the two pieces of point information from the current position indicated by the current position information. A route to the point indicated by the other point information of the two point information via the indicated point is searched, and the route information indicating the route is acquired. Further, in this case, it is preferable that the two pieces of point information are, for example, destination information and parking lot information.
