BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a portable GPS receiver will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the circuit configuration, and reference numeral 11 denotes a GPS antenna. The C / A code data in the L1 band (1.57542 GHz) received from the plurality of GPS satellites received by the GPS antenna is demodulated and decoded by the GPS receiver 12 having a despread LSI, and furthermore, the position calculator 13 performs predetermined decoding. By performing the calculation, the latitude, longitude, altitude, and time of the current position can be determined, and various information including the calculated current position is sent to the CPU 14.
[0010]
The CPU 14 is provided with a ROM (not shown) for storing an operation program and the like, a RAM for temporarily storing various processing data, etc., and a timer unit 15 for clocking the current time, and a detachable CPU having a memory. IC card 16, a voice converter 17 for synthesizing voice such as a buzzer sound and a message voice, a timer unit 18 for counting elapsed time according to start and stop instructions, and a display comprising, for example, a liquid crystal display panel and its driver. Section 19 is connected.
[0011]
The clock section 15 is appropriately time-corrected based on the time calculated by the position calculation section 13.
The IC card 16 has a memory such as an EEPROM or a battery-backed RAM, for example, and an area for storing data as shown in FIG. 2 is provided in the memory.
[0012]
That is, in FIG. 2, the memory has a map memory area MM for storing map information and a management memory area CM for storing a plurality of action management data.
It is assumed that the map memory area MM stores a plurality of pieces of map information in which place name information, road information, and the like, and position information including latitude and longitude information are combined.
[0013]
In the management memory area CM, the place name information PL, the position information PS, the match flag (F) AC, the time information CL, the time information TM, the first voice message information (shown as "message 1" in the figure) VM1, It is assumed that a plurality of n sets of behavior management data are stored, with the second voice message information (message 2) VM2 and the third voice message information (message 3) VM3 as one set.
[0014]
Here, the place name information PL is the place name of the target place or the name of the building, the position information PS is the latitude / longitude information of the place, the match flag AC is an identification code indicating whether or not the place has already arrived, The time information CL is the estimated time of arrival at the place, the time information TM is the available time from arrival at the place until departure for the next place, and the first voice message information VM1 is the next place. Information of a voice message to be output when the vehicle departs for the second voice message information VM2 is information of a voice message to be output when the vehicle has not yet arrived at the scheduled time of arrival at the place, The third voice message information VM3 is information on a voice message, such as a tourist guide, which is output when the vehicle arrives at the place.
[0015]
The voice converter 17 performs mode voice synthesis on the voice information sent from the CPU 14 and drives the connected speaker 20 to loudspeaker to output the first to third voice messages and the buzzer sound. .
[0016]
The display unit 19 is composed of, for example, a dot matrix type liquid crystal display panel of 20 characters × 3 lines, and constantly displays the time according to the contents of the clock unit 15 which keeps the current time. On the other hand, if necessary, the latitude / longitude information of the current position obtained by the position calculator 13, character information having the same contents as the first to third message information output by the voice converter 17 and the speaker 20, and the current As shown in FIG. 2, the map information stored in the map memory area MM of the memory in the IC card 16 whose position has been adjusted is appropriately selected and displayed.
[0017]
Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
In other words, the present device is lent and used, for example, when a travel agent has a tourist manage his / her own actions without a tour attendant. At this time, map information and action management corresponding to a sightseeing route are performed. An IC card 16 in which data is stored in advance is mounted.
[0018]
FIG. 3 mainly shows the contents of the operation processing by the CPU 14. At the beginning, the current time measured by the clock unit 15 and a plurality of times stored in the management memory area CM of the memory in the IC card 16 are shown. It is determined whether any of the time information CL of the behavior management data matches (step S1). If not, the latitude and longitude information of the current position obtained from the next position calculator 13 and the information in the IC card 16 are determined. By repeatedly performing the operation of determining whether any of the position information PS of the plurality of action management data stored in the management memory area CM of the memory matches (step S2), any of the time and the position is determined. Wait for one to match.
[0019]
If it is determined in step S1 that the current time matches one of the plurality of pieces of time information CL of the behavior management data, that is, the arrival time of one of the destinations stored in the management memory area CM has come. If it is determined, the CPU 14 then determines whether or not “1” is set in the corresponding match flag AC of the action management data whose time information CL matches, that is, the current time when the scheduled arrival time is reached. It is determined whether the vehicle has arrived at the destination (step S3).
[0020]
Here, if it is determined that "1" is set in the corresponding match flag AC, it means that the vehicle has already arrived at the destination before the scheduled arrival time, so that no processing is performed. Instead, the process returns to the process from step S1.
[0021]
If it is determined in step S3 that the coincidence flag AC is not set to "1", it means that the vehicle has not arrived at the destination even at the scheduled arrival time. After starting the counting of the elapsed time by 18 (step S4), the corresponding second voice message information VM2 is read out from the action management data, and the second voice message information is read from the speaker 20 by the voice conversion unit 17, for example. "The schedule is late, so please head for" Zentsuji "as soon as possible."
The notification is output by voice as follows.
[0022]
Here, the second voice message information VM2 of the behavior management data actually stored in the management memory area CM is only the information of the “Zentsuji” part enclosed by “”, and the information of the other parts is the CPU 14. If the data is fixedly stored in an internal ROM (not shown), and these are combined and sound output is performed as described above, the storage capacity required for the management memory area CM can be reduced, and more action management data can be stored. Can be memorized.
[0023]
4B, the user can confirm the contents of the notification by displaying the contents of the message information that has been notified by voice on the display unit 19 as shown in FIG. 4B.
[0024]
After performing the notification output of the second message information, the process returns to the process from step S1 again while continuing the counting of the elapsed time by the timer unit 18.
[0025]
When it is determined in step S2 that the latitude / longitude information of the current position matches one of the position information PS of the plurality of action management data, that is, the person using the apparatus stores the information in the management memory area CM. If it is determined that the vehicle has arrived at one of the destinations, the CPU 14 sets "1" to the corresponding match flag AC of the action management data whose position information PS matches (step S6). It is determined whether or not the timer unit 18 is counting the elapsed time (step S7).
[0026]
Here, only when the timer unit 18 determines that the elapsed time is being counted, it is determined that the time scheduled to arrive at the destination has already elapsed. The operation is stopped (step S8), and then the other action management data stored in the management memory area CM of the memory in the IC card 16 for which the match flag AC is not set to "1", that is, during the sightseeing route The time information TM of the action management data corresponding to the place which has not yet passed is rewritten so as to be evenly shortened by the elapsed time (time delayed from the scheduled time), which is the count value of the timer unit 18 that has been stopped. After that, the time information CL is rewritten accordingly (step S9).
[0027]
Therefore, even if the person using this device cannot act as scheduled, the scheduled arrival time and sightseeing time of the subsequent sightseeing places can be properly re-established without changing the sightseeing end time of the last sightseeing place. Because it sets, you can avoid the situation that the sightseeing time at the sightseeing spot where the schedule is crazy runs out.
[0028]
In step S9, the time that is later than expected is divided evenly according to the number of remaining sightseeing places to reduce the sightseeing time. However, the sightseeing time set for each sightseeing place is set. The time to be shortened may be changed according to the magnitude of.
[0029]
After the process of step S9 is completed, or when it is determined in step S7 that the timer unit 18 is not counting the elapsed time, the timer unit 18 is reset if necessary, and then the timer unit is reset. The counting of the elapsed time by the unit 18 is started from the beginning (step S10). Thereafter, the corresponding third voice message information VM3 is read out from the action management data of the destination, and the third voice message information VM3 is read out from the speaker 20 by the voice conversion unit 17. For example, "Zentsuji, one of the eighty-eight places in Shikoku, is a temple known as the birthplace of Kobo Daishi in the headquarters of the Shingon sect Zentsuji sect. . "
As shown in FIG.
[0030]
In addition, the user can confirm the contents of the notification by displaying the contents of the message information which has been notified by voice on the display unit 19 simultaneously with the voice notification as shown in FIG. 4C.
[0031]
In this case, since the number of characters that can be displayed on the display unit 19 is limited, if the characters cannot be displayed all at once, the page is operated by operating a separately provided cursor key or the like, which is not shown in FIG. The contents are sequentially switched and displayed in a flipped manner, so that all the message contents can be recognized.
[0032]
After performing the notification output of the third voice message information VM3 in step S11, the corresponding time information TM of the behavior management data is read out, and the elapsed time from arrival at this destination counted by the timer unit 18 is counted. Then, it waits until it matches the value of the read time information TM (step S12).
[0033]
When it is determined that the elapsed time counted by the timer unit 18 matches the value of the read time information TM, it is determined that the scheduled time for departure from the point and heading for the next destination is determined. The corresponding first voice message information VM1 is read from the data, and the first message information is read from the speaker 20 by the voice conversion unit 17, for example, to "Kanekuraji" which is the next sightseeing spot because the departure time has come. Please go "
The notification is output by voice as follows.
[0034]
Here, as in the case of the above-mentioned second message information VM2, the first voice message information VM1 of the action management data actually stored in the management memory area CM is the same as the “Kanekuraji” enclosing the above “”. If only the information of the part is stored and the information of the other parts is fixedly stored in a ROM (not shown) inside the CPU 14, and these are combined to output the sound as described above, it is necessary for the management memory area CM. The storage capacity can be reduced, and more action management data can be stored.
[0035]
4A, the user can confirm the contents of the notification by displaying the contents of the message information which has been notified by voice on the display unit 19 as shown in FIG. 4A.
[0036]
After the notification output of the first message information is performed, the process returns to the process from step S1 again.
Further, the information amount of the first message information is set to be large, and after the notification output for prompting the departure as described above is performed, subsequently, for example, "take the XX line at the △△ station and Please change to and get off at ▽▽ station. "
By performing the notification output of the sound as described above and the display output on the display unit 19 as necessary, it is possible to make the device more kind and easy to use.
[0037]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a portable GPS receiver is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a navigation device for a car, a portable personal computer, an electronic organizer having a schedule function, and the like. Needless to say, various other application examples can be considered as long as the mobile body can acquire the current position and has a timekeeping function.
