[0022]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration example of data used in the point search / output device by telephone number according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of data divided for the town page and the hello page.
[0023]
The data used for the point search output device by telephone number according to the present embodiment is constituted by telephone number data, 50 sound data and point information data as shown in FIG. The phone number data stores phone numbers and point information data offsets in ascending or descending order. When a phone number is entered, a search is performed, and point information is based on the point information data offset of the phone number. Get the data. The point information data offset indicates a storage address of the point information data, for example. By using the phone number data and the location information data as search data, when a phone number is input, the location information data offset of the phone number that has been hit (matched) is searched, and the location is determined based on the location information data offset. Are searched from the point information data and displayed together with the map. The 50-sound data is the phone number subscriber's reading and the location name and location information data offset stored in the order of the 50-sound. When the reading or location name is entered, a search is performed and the reading or location name is entered. The point information data is acquired based on the point information data offset. Here, the point name is a facility name or an individual name.
[0024]
The point information data is grouped by phone number or reading in order of Japanese syllabary, grouped by address, information about the subscriber's location of the phone number, such as the location name, address, location coordinates (x, y), and identification flag. Is stored. For the input of the phone number and its reading and location name stored in the phone number data and the 50 sound data, the address is used, for example, when outputting as confirmation information, and “Aichi” is 23 for each address hierarchy. “Okazaki City” is given a code like 202. The point coordinates are used when, for example, a map centered on the point is displayed or the point is marked on the map.
[0025]
The identification flag categorizes subscribers. For example, the identification number categorizes whether a telephone number is a restricted subscriber such as an individual or an unrestricted subscriber such as an operator. Therefore, for example, based on the phone book, the phone book data of the town page (NTT trademark name, the same shall apply hereinafter) is data of operators such as facilities, stores, companies, etc., so there is no restriction, and Hello Page (NTT brand name, The same applies to the telephone directory data in the following). Since the data is private house data, the identification flag is set as having a restriction. Of course, this is excitation, and the identification information indicating whether there is a restriction based on other classifications and categories. It goes without saying that may be set. Then, as described above, in the case of an unconstrained phone number, the location information is immediately provided, and in the case of a restricted phone number, the subscriber name is checked and the location information is provided by the match. To do. In addition, when displaying an address as a character on a screen, you may comprise so that it may convert into a character from a code | cord | chord using the address database stored separately.
[0026]
FIG. 4 shows an example in which the telephone number data, 50-sound data, and point information data are divided into a non-restricted town page and a restricted hello page, respectively. In this case, identification information for identifying the town page data or the hello page data set in the point information data shown in FIG. 3 is not necessary. Therefore, when such a data structure is adopted, a mode is selected between a town page or a hello page, that is, a phone number entry with restriction or a phone number entry without restriction, and a telephone number offset is determined based on the selection. It can also be configured to search.
[0027]
Next, an example of search and guidance processing in the telephone number input mode performed using the search data will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of search and guidance processing in the telephone number input mode, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of processing for setting a spot in the telephone number input mode.
[0028]
In the telephone number input mode, as shown in FIG. 5, first, a telephone number input screen is displayed (step S11). When a telephone number is input, all digits, that is, the number of digits varies depending on the region, but from 9 digits to 9 digits. It is determined whether or not 10 digits have been input (step S12). If all digits have not been entered, it is determined whether or not a local station number has been entered (step S13). If no local station number has been entered, the input is reset (step S14). For example, a beep sound is notified to return to the telephone number re-input mode. If only the local station number has been input, the representative place is searched from the local station number and the point information is output (step S17).
[0029]
If all the digits of the telephone number have been input, a search is performed using the telephone number data (step S15), and it is determined whether there is a hit number (step S16). If there is no hit number, similar to the input up to the local station number, the representative place is searched from the local station number and the point information is output (step S17). If the number is hit, it is further determined whether or not it is a registered location (step S18), and if it is a registered location, information as a registered location is output (step S19). It is then determined whether the subscriber name is an individual (step S20). Note that the determination as to whether or not it is a registered point may be made by referring to a list of registered points (not shown) or by setting information on registered points in an identification flag.
[0030]
If the subscriber name is a business operator, the facility name and address are output (step S21). If the subscriber name is an individual, a 50-sound input screen is displayed (step S22). If a name is entered, the personal name is checked against the subscriber name of the telephone number retrieved earlier to determine whether it matches the telephone number information (step S23). If the subscriber names match, the personal location information relating to the subscriber of the entered telephone number is output (step S25). If the subscriber names do not match, the subscriber mismatch is indicated with a beep and a message or the like. Output (step S24). The telephone number input and the 50-sound input have already been proposed by the present applicant and will not be described (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 8-94377 and 9-97226). ).
[0031]
Further, the point setting process by inputting a telephone number will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, when a telephone number is input (step S31), it is determined whether or not the telephone number data matches (step S32). If it matches the telephone number data, it is further determined whether it is town page data (step S33). If it is town page data, the corresponding facility name and coordinates are acquired from the point information data (step S34), A map is displayed centering on the coordinates acquired together with the name, and a point is set (step S35).
[0032]
If it is not town page data in the determination in step S33, that is, if it is a hello page, for example, a screen for selecting "personal home", "city code area map", and "address list" is displayed (step S36). Then, it is determined whether or not “personal home” has been selected (step S37). When “personal home” is selected, a personal name input screen is displayed (step S38), personal name input processing is performed (step S39), and whether or not the input telephone number matches the personal name. Is determined (step S40). If they do not match, the process returns to step S36, and if they match, the coordinates are acquired from the point coordinate data (step S41), the map is displayed centering on the acquired coordinates, and the point is set (step S42).
[0033]
If it is determined in step S32 that the telephone number data does not match, the selection screen of “local station number surrounding map” and “address list” is displayed (step S43), and “local station number surrounding map” is selected. It is determined whether or not (step S44). This determination process is also performed when “personal home” is not selected in step S37.
[0034]
When “local area code surrounding map” is selected in step S44, the representative coordinates of the local area number of the inputted telephone number are acquired (step S45), and the map is displayed around the acquired representative coordinates. Spot setting is performed (step S46). If “address list” is selected, an address is selected from the address list (step S47), the coordinates of the selected address are acquired (step S48), and the map is centered on the acquired coordinates. Display and set the point (step S49).
[0035]
Furthermore, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific screens and transition examples.

Enter a number using the numeric keypad on this screen and enter a search key to start the search, depending on whether you enter 9 digits to 10 digits, an entry to the local area code, or no entry to the local area code. Branch like so.
[0037]
First, when there is an input of 9 to 10 digits, depending on whether the number hits at the registration point, the town page or the hello page, or there is no number to hit, as shown in FIG. When hitting, the destination can be set with the registered point name, and the destination map display can be changed. When hitting with the town page, the destination can be set with the facility name. When the hit is made with the hello page, the map display screen shown in FIG. If there is no hit number, the screen transitions to the selection screen shown in FIG. In addition, in the case of input up to the local station number, the screen changes to the selection screen shown in FIG. 10, and when there is no input up to the local station number, a beep sound is generated and the telephone number input shown in FIG. Return to the screen.
[0038]
The selection screen shown in FIG. 9 that is displayed when a hit is made on the hello page is that the telephone number is a personally subscribed telephone number that is restricted in providing information. -701) is a screen for selecting whether to display a map around the area, or to select and input an address in the area and display a map of the address. Here, when a private home is selected, the screen changes to a 50-sound input screen shown in FIG. When the subscriber name is entered with the first name, full name, initials, etc. on the 50-sound input screen, the phone number is determined to match the subscriber name. Pinpoints are displayed on a map as shown in FIG. Therefore, the destination is determined by selecting “go here”. However, if the telephone number does not match the subscriber name, for example, a message such as “The input telephone number does not match the subscriber” is displayed, and then the selection screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed again.
[0039]
In addition, when “052-701 and surrounding map” is selected on the selection screen shown in FIG. 9, a transition is made to the surrounding map display screen of the local area code shown in FIG. 15. The destination can be set by transitioning to the map display screen shown in FIG. 14 in large letters, small letters and lot numbers. The transition of the screen by selecting the surrounding map and the address list is the same from the selection screen shown in FIG.

It is a figure for demonstrating the example of the process in the case of outputting a private house list.
[0041]
In the above embodiment, when a telephone number is entered and searched, if there are restrictions on the subscriber of the telephone number, the subscriber name, initials, surname, etc. are input and the phone number is entered by matching them. However, in this case, a list may be displayed instead of a 50-sound input, and a designation input may be performed from the list. For example, in the case of a subscriber name, a similar name, the name of the same surname as shown in FIG. 16 is searched and displayed in the vicinity, and a name different from the subscriber name of the input telephone number is designated and input. Disagreement processing. Therefore, if multiple searches are not made in a certain area, until the multiple searches are made, from the smallest block, for example, small letters → large letters → municipalities → prefectures, small letters → adjacent small letters, the subscriber point of the corresponding telephone number The range may be expanded stepwise with a circle, rectangle, or polygon.
[0042]
In addition, when a phone number is input and a hit is made at a private home, a plurality of personal homes in the vicinity of the private home may be searched and displayed as a list as shown in FIG. 17, or the name, initials, head of the subscriber may be displayed as a list. A character, a zip code, an address, or the like may be displayed, and a distance and direction from a specific point may be added and displayed as shown in FIG. In this way, not only the same family name but also information about other subscribers similar to information about the subscriber of the entered telephone number may be included as dummy information, or a fictitious private home is prepared as data as dummy information. Alternatively, a random number generator or the like may be randomly extracted from the list and included in the list. Of course, instead of the list display, each point may be displayed on the map, and the name, initials, initials, postal code or address of the subscriber may be displayed. Furthermore, in the event that a hit is made at a private home, the specific information for identifying the subscriber is input in order to release the restriction on the telephone number, and the specific information is provided as the specific information for the purpose of providing specific information by the match. Instead of the name of the house, an address, initial, initial, postal code or the like may be used.
