Description

The idea is to display passenger operating information, such as the current ship position and the estimated arrival time at the port of arrival, for passengers on general liner vessels that carry an unspecified number of passengers, mainly passenger ships. The present invention relates to an operation information display device.

Conventionally, when displaying the current position of the ship on the corresponding regular route on a screen, an electronic map or / and an electronic chart of a certain range including the entire regular route is always displayed, or displayed by a human operation. The range and display method of the electronic map and / or electronic chart are switched and displayed.

Since this device displays operation information for an unspecified number of passengers in a cabin, it is desired to display more convenience information useful for an unspecified number of passengers.

The useful information useful to an unspecified number of passengers may include the name of the place of departure and arrival, the estimated arrival time of the destination, and the current position of the ship on the entire regular route. After arriving at the pier, go down the ship and walk or use other means of transportation to move to each person's final destination, so if you display a detailed map of the area near the port before entering the port, you can move after disembarkation It is very convenient to help.

However, since the liner of regular liners often has a relatively long distance of several kilometers to several tens of kilometers one way, in order to display the current position of the own ship with respect to the entire liner, it is necessary to cover a wide area that includes the entire line. The display magnification must be relatively small so that it can be displayed, and at that display magnification, due to the general screen resolution of the display, roads near the port of entry that will help passengers move after disembarkation It is difficult to display an electronic map showing detailed information of a railway station, a main building, and the like.

In order to solve the above problems, it is sufficient for passengers to operate the screen themselves before entering the port and display a detailed electronic map near the port of entry on the screen, but this operation information display device is an unspecified number of passengers Because a detailed electronic map near the port of entry will be displayed on the screen immediately after departure due to the convenience of some passengers, the current There is a risk that other passengers who want to know the position of the ship may be annoying.

Further, in this case, it is up to the passenger to operate or not operate the screen, and it is conceivable that the method of operating the screen is not understood during a limited time during boarding, and it may not be possible to operate the screen.

On the other hand, the crew of the passenger ship, not the passenger, operate the screen to display the current position of the ship on the entire liner and the screen displaying a detailed electronic map near the port of entry at regular intervals, such as every minute. By switching to and displaying, it is possible to correspond to both passengers who want to see the current position of their own ship with respect to the entire regular route and passengers who want to see a detailed electronic map near the port of entry. It is practically difficult for the crew to perform the above operation during the busiest and nervous hours.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and automatically displays a detailed electronic map display near the port of entry (enlarged area display 24) and the current ship position display (whole area display 23) for the entire regular route before entering the port. An operation information display device capable of switching and displaying the information is provided.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, according to the invention of claim 1, when the position of the own ship enters a range of a preset enlarged area 22, the whole area display 23 and the enlarged area are displayed according to the elapsed time thereafter. The operation information display device automatically switches and displays the display 24. As a result, the entire area display 23 and the enlarged area display 24 are automatically switched and displayed without any operation by passengers or crew members, and passengers who want to see a detailed electronic map near the port of entry also receive requests for the entire regular route. Both the demands of the passengers who want to see the current position of the ship are satisfied, and the convenience of the entire passengers is improved.

As described above, according to the invention of claim 1, the whole area display 23 and the enlarged area display 24 are automatically switched and displayed without any operation by passengers or crews, and a detailed electronic map near the port of entry is displayed. Both the demand of the passenger who wants to see and the demand of the passenger who wants to see the current position of the own ship with respect to the entire regular route are satisfied, and the convenience of the whole passenger is improved.
