Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, a system and a program for displaying information on a tourist route that goes around a tourist spot.

  In recent years, car navigation systems have become essential in-vehicle items. The convenience of the car navigation system is that you can reach your destination with a simple setting. Therefore, by using the car navigation system, users can easily go out even in unfamiliar places.

  However, there are many people who leave for their destination without doing a thorough survey because of their lightness. For this reason, even if you come to a famous tourist destination far away, you often do not know the tourist spots other than the destination. Therefore, conventionally, various navigation techniques suitable for use in tourist spots have been proposed.

  For example, in the vehicle-mounted navigation device described in Patent Document 1, a technique has been proposed in which an optimal route for efficiently traveling around a visited place is searched. However, with this technique, the user has to set a destination tourist spot by looking at a guidebook or the like, and the setting work is troublesome.

  Therefore, there has been proposed a technique of generating a tourist route from a departure point by using the time and distance desired by the user as a tourist route generation condition without the user setting a tourist spot (for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 2 or the like, although the destination is not set, it is necessary to set the generation conditions of the tourist route such as the time and distance desired by the user, and the setting work is also troublesome. In particular, at a tourist spot that came for the first time, the user not only does not know the tourist spots included in the area, but also does not know the scale of the area.

  Therefore, when setting the tourist route generation condition, the user may be confused about the setting, and eventually has to resort to a guidebook or the like. Therefore, many users feel that the burden of setting the tourist route generation condition is not so different from the burden of setting the tourist spot. Moreover, in the technology of Patent Document 2 and the like, it is inevitable that the process of generating a tourist route takes time, and it is pointed out that there is a problem that the usability is poor.

  The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above problems, and its purpose is, for example, not only the setting work of a tourist spot, but also the setting work of a condition for creating a tourist route, which can be easily and quickly performed. It is to provide a system and a program capable of displaying information on a tourist route.

  When the user gets out of the vehicle to reach the tourist spot, when the user detects that the user touches the key-off button 58, the control unit 18 accepts this and the elapsed time from the time when the user touches the key-off button 58, that is, the sightseeing. Start measuring the interruption time of the guidance process. When the control unit 18 detects that the user who has finished sightseeing at the tourist spot returns to the vehicle and performs a predetermined operation to restart the radar detector 1, the control unit 18 ends the measurement of the interruption time of the tourist information, It is determined whether or not this interruption time is within a preset predetermined time (S20 in FIG. 6). The predetermined time here is a sightseeing time at a sightseeing spot (1 hour in FIG. 14).

  If the interruption time is within the predetermined time (Yes in S20 of FIG. 6), the control unit 18 determines that the user has returned to the vehicle after finishing sightseeing at the tourist spot within a preset hour. Continue the tourist guide processing and return to S17. When the interruption time exceeds the predetermined time (No in S20 of FIG. 6 ), the control unit 18 displays a message on the display screen of the display device 5 asking the user whether to continue the tourist guide. It is displayed (for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 19 which will be described later can be displayed), and based on the input from the user, it is determined whether or not the user continues the tourist guide (S21 in FIG. 6). .. When the control unit 18 receives a signal from the user indicating that the tourist guide is not continued (No in S21 of FIG. 6), the tourist guide is ended halfway (S23 of FIG. 6).

  When the control unit 18 receives a signal from the user to continue the tourist guide (Yes in S21 of FIG. 6 ), the control unit 18 displays the map information around the vehicle position on the display screen of the display device 5, and next. The position of the tourist spot which is the destination 2 is displayed, the guidance of the tourist route is continued, and the process returns to S17. Then, when the control unit 18 detects that the vehicle has arrived at the next destination, a tourist spot, displays the arrival message and the tourist time again on the display screen.

  As described above, S18 to S21 of FIG. 6 are repeated to sequentially guide the tourist route from the arrived tourist spot to the next tourist spot. When the final sightseeing spot in the sightseeing route is reached (Yes in S18 of FIG. 6), the control unit 18 displays the arrival there, the sightseeing time and the end of the sightseeing route (S22 of FIG. 6). ), and ends the tourist route guidance process.

  To summarize the flow of tourist information processing, "Display of required time zone (S11) → Determination of required time zone (S12) → Multiple display of tourist route (S13) → Determination of tourist route (S14) → Detailed display of tourist route (S15) → Start tourist route guidance (S16) → Display arrival of tourist spots (S19) → Confirm suspension time of tourist information (S20) → Confirm continuation of tourist information (S21) → Arrival of final tourist spot and tourist route Display of end (S22)”.

[Effect]
According to this embodiment, since the tourist route information grouped for each required time period is acquired, the user does not need to bother to select a tourist spot to generate a tourist route, and the user does not have to perform troublesome destination setting work. It can be opened. Therefore, even a user who knows only famous tourist spots can efficiently carry out sightseeing without carefully examining guidebooks and the like.

  As mentioned above, it is enough for tourists to try a stable and popular course, like a "set meal," rather than choosing a tourist spot, like an "a la carte" when ordering food. There are many people who say In other words, there are many people who find it difficult to choose a tourist spot while looking at a guidebook. For such people, the present embodiment that presents a sightseeing route simply by selecting a required time zone is particularly convenient.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the tourist spot arrives, the tourist time at the tourist spot is displayed as a guide. Therefore, the user can be made aware of the staying time at the sightseeing spot, and the route of the sightseeing time can be efficiently traveled around.

  However, since the sightseeing time included in the time required for the sightseeing route is only a guide, how much time you spend at the sightseeing spots depends on the situation at that time. In other words, the user does not always finish sightseeing according to the standard sightseeing time, but if the user eats lunch at a sightseeing spot or stays long at a favorite place, the sightseeing time will be longer, on the contrary, If sightseeing spots are vacant and sightseeing is completed early, sightseeing time will be shortened.

  This kind of situation cannot be understood until you arrive at a tourist spot and actually try sightseeing. Therefore, even if the user selects the sightseeing time at the time of starting the sightseeing guide processing, the selected sightseeing time is often not utilized as it is. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sightseeing time included in the required time is intentionally fixed instead of being selected.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the degree of freedom in selecting the sightseeing time is not ensured, but the user's time and effort for selecting the sightseeing time is saved, and priority is given to reducing the selection work. Moreover, since the tourist route information according to the present embodiment does not accept editing from the user, the user only needs to select the required time zone. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the selection work as much as possible, and it is possible to quickly display the tourist route information.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the time zones of "3 hours", "5 hours", and "7 hours" that are every two hours are set as the required time zones of the sightseeing route. Therefore, it is possible to give the user a good feeling by making the user roughly understand the required time of the sightseeing route without worrying about the required time in minute units such as seconds and minutes.

  Further, these required time zones are suitable as options for the required time zone required for one day sightseeing. That is, when "3 hours" is selected as the required time zone of the sightseeing route, it is suitable for the sightseeing route for sightseeing in the morning or after lunch and in the evening. When "5 hours" is selected as the required time zone of the sightseeing route, it is suitable when sightseeing is performed including one meal time. If the time required for the sightseeing route is set to "7 hours", it is most suitable when the user wants to go sightseeing during the day.

  Further, the sightseeing time in this embodiment is "30 minutes" if the required time period is "3 hours", "60 minutes" if the required time period is "5 hours", and "7 hours" at the required time period. If so, it is fixed in proportion to the length of the required time, such as "90 minutes". That is, if the required time period is short, the sightseeing time is short, and if the required time period is long, the sightseeing time is long. Therefore, it is possible to provide a sightseeing route in which the sightseeing time and the required time are well balanced.

  Further, the guide of the tourist route in the present embodiment guides a route from one tourist spot on the tourist route to the next tourist spot, and when the tourist spot which is the end point of the route is reached, Guide the route to the next tourist attraction. Therefore, the tourist route is divided into tourist spots and displayed, and a part of the tourist route can be displayed large on the display screen of the display unit 5, and good visibility can be obtained.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of sightseeing routes are displayed as in the display screen of FIG. 10, and then the display screen of FIG. 11 is switched to before starting the tourist guidance. Therefore, it is possible to allow the user to consider the contents of the tourist route over a certain amount of time. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately give the user the tourist guide desired by the user.

[Other Embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and includes the following other embodiments.
(1) Embodiment in which sightseeing time is selected In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the sightseeing guidance function is realized, the sightseeing time at each sightseeing spot is fixed, but it may be selected. At this time, for example, the sightseeing route information may be grouped and displayed for each sightseeing time that is a staying time at the sightseeing spot, and the selection from the user may be accepted.

  In this embodiment, the control unit 18 controls the display unit 5 to display the sightseeing time, and when the selection of the sightseeing time is received from the user, displays the sightseeing route information belonging to the stay time on the display unit 5. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, on the screen for accepting the required time zone desired by the user, a sightseeing time selection button 53 displayed as “Select sightseeing time” is displayed on the touch panel 6.

  Then, when it is detected that the user touch-operates the sightseeing time selection button 53, the control unit 18 accepts the touch operation, opens a screen displaying a plurality of sightseeing times on another screen, and displays “30 minutes” on the touch panel 6, “ The sightseeing time display buttons 54 to 56 having the display of "60 minutes" and "90 minutes" are displayed (see FIG. 16).

  Then, by the user's touch operation, the control unit 18 accepts the selection of the required time period and the tourist time (in FIG. 16, the required time period is “5 hours” and the sightseeing time is “30 minutes”, respectively). The control unit 18 displays on the touch panel 6 a tourist route (that is, a tourist route in which the required time period is "5 hours" and the tourist time at each tourist spot is "30 minutes") that simultaneously satisfies the two selection conditions. can do.

  In the above embodiment, since the sightseeing route information grouped for each sightseeing time is acquired, it is possible to provide the user with the sightseeing time as a criterion when selecting the sightseeing route. Therefore, the user can select the sightseeing route information based on the sightseeing time in consideration of his/her own convenience.

  In such an embodiment, the user can be strongly impressed with the sightseeing time at the tourist spot, and thus the user can effectively use the time at the tourist spot that he or she has decided. For this reason, the user can enjoy the tourist spots mentally with ease without being tied up or tied up at the tourist time decided by others.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to expand not only the sightseeing time but also the options of the sightseeing route itself according to the needs of the user. In other words, a user who wants to slowly visit sightseeing spots can lengthen the sightseeing time and keep the number of visiting sightseeing spots small. On the contrary, a user who wants to visit as many tourist spots as possible can shorten the tourist time and increase the number of tourist spots to visit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to appropriately meet the needs of the user by presenting the sightseeing time to stay at the sightseeing spot in the unit of "30 minutes". For example, by displaying the sightseeing route information with the sightseeing time set to “30 minutes”, it is suitable when the user desires a short stay by reducing the number of tour points at the sightseeing spots.

  Further, displaying the sightseeing route information with the sightseeing time of “60 minutes” is suitable when the user wants to take some time for a tour or the like. Furthermore, displaying the sightseeing route information with the sightseeing time of “90 minutes” is suitable for the case where the user desires a long stay including meals at sightseeing spots.

  The above embodiment focuses on the sightseeing time, which is the staying time at the sightseeing spots, and selects the sightseeing routes by setting the options regarding the sightseeing time, but does not generate the sightseeing routes by checking the sightseeing spots one by one. , Which is the same as the previously described embodiment. Therefore, it is possible to select a sightseeing route that suits the taste of the user with a simple work, and a high usability can be exhibited.

(2) Embodiment in which genre of tourist route is selected The present invention also includes an embodiment in which the genre is set in the tourist route and the user selects it. In this embodiment, the tourist route information is grouped according to genres of tourist content, and the control unit 18 displays the genres of the tourist routes on the touch panel 6 and, when accepting the selection of the genre from the user, belongs to the accepted genre. The control for displaying the tourist route information on the display 5 is performed.

  The genre of the tourist route may be determined depending on, for example, the type of facility of the tourist spot included in the tourist route. If the sightseeing spot is "shrines and temples", the genre of the sightseeing route is "shrines and temples", and if the sightseeing spot is "museums and museums", the genre of the sightseeing route is "museums and museums" And so on. The screen display example of FIG. 17 is an example in which genres such as “shrines and temples”, “museums/museums”, “restaurants/diners”, and “scenic spots” are displayed. The display form of the genre is not limited to the character information and the symbol information as long as the content can be expressed, and may be image information, for example.

  It is not necessary for all the tourist spots included in the tourist route to be of the same genre. For example, if about half of all the tourist spots have the same genre, they may be defined as a tourist route of the genre. For example, in a tourist route that tours three tourist spots, if the two tourist spots are the same, the genre of the tourist spot may be set as the genre of the tourist route itself.

  Alternatively, the genres may be displayed in a hierarchical structure, and the genres may be displayed step by step from higher levels to lower levels. For example, “soba restaurant”, “local gourmet”, etc. may be provided in a subordinate category of “restaurant/dining hall”. In this case, when "Restaurant/Diner" is selected by the user's touch operation, the screen display is switched and the subordinate genres such as "Sobaya" and "local gourmet" are displayed on the display unit 5. (See FIG. 18).

  Alternatively, a "famous place" may be provided in the higher genre of "shrine/buddha", and a "historic site/castle" may be provided in parallel with the "shrine/buddha" in the lower genre of "famous place". Further, for example, "cultural facility" may be provided in the upper genre of "museum/museum", and "concert hall/theater" may be provided in parallel with the "museum/museum" in the lower genre. In such an embodiment, since the tourist route information is grouped by genre, the user can select the tourist route information according to his or her preference.

  In the present embodiment, the number of genres, the number of layers, or the required time zone or the number of sightseeing time groups can be appropriately selected, but one of the objects of the present invention is to select a sightseeing route. It is in mitigation. Therefore, it is desirable that these numbers do not become too large, and 5 or less, and preferably 2 to 3 are appropriate.

(3) Embodiment in which option of tourist route information is switched and displayed The controller 18 may display the option on the display 5 while switching required time, tourist time and genre as options of tourist route information.

Further, in such an embodiment, the required time, the sightseeing time and the genre can be alternately displayed in any order. Therefore, the display area of each item can be enlarged, and the required time, the sightseeing time, and the genre can be easily displayed.

  The time required, the sightseeing time, and the display order of the genre can be switched freely by the user, and the time required, the sightseeing time, and the priority of the user in the genre are reflected, and the sightseeing route May be selected. Further, in order to reduce the load of the selection operation by the user, the display of the required time, the sightseeing time, and the genre may be automatically switched in a predetermined order.

(4) Embodiment in which display of tourist route is restricted By the way, if the user has already arrived at a famous tourist spot, the user cannot go to the tourist spot. Therefore, when the current location of the vehicle is detected as a tourist spot by the GPS log function, it is unnecessary to display the tourist route from the current location to the tourist spot. Therefore, when the present location is a tourist spot, an embodiment in which the display of the tourist route whose destination is the tourist spot is excluded can be proposed. According to such an embodiment, the display efficiency of the tourist route can be improved.

(5) Embodiment in which summary information of tourist route information is displayed Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, control is performed so that summary information of the tourist route is displayed on the display 5 instead of the required time of the tourist route.
