Further, in the recording unit 10, for example, map data for guidance processing for guiding the vehicle or its user using the navigation device NV, a program for performing the guidance processing, and the like are non-volatilely recorded. Using these, the processing unit 15 executes the necessary guidance processing and the like in addition to the product purchase location guidance processing according to the embodiment.

Next, regarding each of the above-mentioned product purchase place recommendation table T3 creation process and the product purchase place guidance process according to the embodiment centering on the processing unit 15 of the navigation device NV and the processing unit S of the server device SV. , Specifically, will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

First, the process of creating the product purchase place recommendation table T3 according to the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the process of creating the product purchase place recommendation table T3 according to the embodiment is performed, for example, when the amount of data in the product purchase history database PDB or the like exceeds a preset specified amount, or is set in advance. It starts every period. Then, in the creation process, first, the processing unit S of the server device SV associates the route travel history database RDB with the product purchase history database PDB using the transaction ID 30 as a clue, and provides destination data indicating each destination to the destination. The time data indicating the time when the movement was performed (for example, the departure date and time), the data of the route category corresponding to the movement, and the data of the product category purchased at the time of the movement to the destination are acquired (step S1). .. Next, the processing unit S acquires the position coordinates indicating the position of the purchase point (in other words, the position of the purchased store) of the purchased product from the store position table T2, using the transaction ID 30 and the store ID 31 as clues. (Step S2).

After that, the processing unit S determines the products purchased in the past movement based on the destination data, the time data, the route category data and the product category data acquired in step S1 and the position coordinates acquired in step S2. Regarding which point or range of stores on the travel route the product is purchased, the product is aggregated for each category to which the product belongs, and the result is reflected to newly create or create a product purchase location recommendation table T3 according to the embodiment. It is updated and recorded in the recording unit 22 (step S3).

At this time, the "destination" in the product purchase place recommendation table T3 includes, for example, the geographical range including the destination in the "destination" in addition to the destination itself in the above movement. Be done. Similarly, the "departure place" in the product purchase place recommendation table T3 is not only the departure place itself in the above movement, but also the "departure place" within a preset geographical range including the departure place, for example. Be included. It should be noted that these geographical ranges may differ depending on, for example, a product category. For example, when barbecuing at a destination, when the product is "ice", from the viewpoint of minimizing the amount of melting by the time the destination arrives, for example, compared to the case where the product is "meat" or "vegetables". Therefore, it is preferable that the geographical range centered on the destination is narrow.

After that, the processing unit S determines whether or not the creation or update of the product purchase location recommendation table T3 has been completed for all the product purchase history databases PDBs and the like at that time, thereby recommending the product purchase location according to the embodiment. It is determined whether or not to end the creation process of the table T3 (step S4). When the creation process is terminated in the determination of step S4 (step S4; YES), the processing unit S terminates the creation process as it is. On the other hand, in the determination of step S4, when the product purchase place recommendation table T3 is continuously created or updated for other data in the product purchase history database PDB or the like (step S4; NO), the processing unit S regarding the other data. The process of steps S1 to S4 is repeated.

Next, the above-mentioned product purchase place guidance process according to the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

As shown in FIG. 6, the product purchase location guidance process according to the embodiment is started, for example, when a route for movement and a destination thereof are set in the navigation device NV. Then, in the product purchase location guidance process, when the destination is set, the processing unit 15 of the navigation device NV acquires the destination data indicating the destination from, for example, the map data recorded in the recording unit 10. At the same time, the destination data and the time data indicating the current time are transmitted as a pair to the server device SV (step S5). At this time, the processing unit 15 transmits the destination data and the like together with the identification data that identifies the navigation device NV that is the transmission source of the destination data and the like from other navigation device NVs.

On the other hand, the processing unit S of the server device SV monitors whether or not the destination data, the time data, or the like is transmitted from any of the navigation devices NV when the product purchase location guidance process according to the embodiment is started. (Step S10, step S10; NO). Then, when the destination data, the time data, and the like are transmitted by the step S5 in any of the navigation devices NV, the processing unit S receives them via the interface 20 (step S10; YES).

Next, the processing unit S extracts the past route travel history data that has moved to the destination indicated by the received destination data at the time indicated by the received time data from the route travel history database RDB. Then, the determination unit 3 of the processing unit S extracts the product purchase history data associated with the extracted route travel history data via the transaction ID 30 from the product purchase history database PDB, and the product category included in the product purchase history data. Is extracted (step S11). In addition to this, the determination unit 3 refers to the product purchase place recommendation table T3 using the data of the extracted product category, and is associated with the product category extracted by step S11 in the product purchase place recommendation table T3. Extract the recommended purchase place (step S11).

After that, the determination unit 3 refers to the store position table T2 using the data indicating the recommended purchase place extracted in step S11, and acquires the position coordinates of the store corresponding to the recommended purchase place, the store name, etc. as the purchase recommended place data. do. After that, the processing unit S uses the acquired identification data transmitted together with the destination data received in step S10 as a clue to the navigation device NV that has transmitted the destination data or the like. Send (reply) (step S12).

After that, the processing unit S determines, for example, whether or not the operation unit 23 has executed the operation to end the product purchase location guidance process according to the embodiment, thereby determining the product purchase location guidance process as the server device SV. It is determined whether or not to end (step S13). When the product purchase location guidance process is terminated in the determination of step S13 (step S13; YES), the processing unit S ends the product purchase location guidance process as it is. On the other hand, in the determination of step S13, when the product purchase place guidance process is continued (step S13; NO), the processing unit S returns to the monitoring of step S10.

On the other hand, the processing unit 15 after transmitting the necessary target data and the like in step S5 acquires the purchase recommended place data in step S12 when it is transmitted (step S6), and the acquired purchase recommended place. The purchase recommended place corresponding to the data is searched on the map data, and the information indicating the searched purchase recommended place is presented to the user of the navigation device NV by using, for example, the display 14 (step S7). ..

At this time, by the processing of steps S5 to 7 in the navigation device NV and steps S10 to S13 in the server device SV, for example, the user who moves the route R from the departure point STT illustrated in FIG. 7 to the destination DT. When trying to purchase the ice used in the destination DT, even if the stores that can purchase the ice on the route R are the three stores SP1, the store SP2, and the store SP3, the store closest to the destination DT. The store name of SP3 and its position coordinates are displayed on the display 14 as, for example, points on the map (step S7).

After that, the processing unit 15 executes the lost item confirmation display according to the embodiment (step S8). Specifically, as the processing of the lost-and-found confirmation display, first, the processing unit 15 first inputs the data of the product category extracted by the processing of the above step S11 in the server device SV or the data indicating the product corresponding to the product category to the server device SV. Get from. Then, the processing unit 15 displays the product indicated by the acquired product category data or the like on the display 14 as a product to be purchased when moving to the destination at that time, for example, near the departure place (step S8). .. As a specific display mode in this case, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 8, when the season indicated by the above time data is spring and the destination is the Shonan coast, a forgotten item confirmation list (for example, (for clamming)). ) Includes "bucket" and "rake". See Fig. 8 (a).) Or when the season indicated by the above time data is summer and the destination is also the Shonan coast. A list (including, for example, "sunscreen" and "sandals" (for bathing). See FIG. 8B)) may be displayed. The forgotten item confirmation display in step S8 above is the time of departure from the place of departure. Not only that, it may be configured to be executed, for example, when returning home from the destination. In this case, the souvenir is forgotten, for example, by displaying a forgotten item confirmation display for the souvenir to be purchased in the vicinity of the destination. You will be able to buy it and go home.

When the lost item confirmation display is executed by the process of step S8, the processing unit 15 then determines whether or not the operation unit 13 has executed, for example, an operation to end the product purchase location guidance process according to the embodiment. By doing so, it is determined whether or not to end the product purchase location guidance process as the navigation device NV (step S9). When the product purchase location guidance process is terminated in the determination of step S9 (step S9; YES), the processing unit 15 ends the product purchase location guidance process as it is.
