Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a small-sized house map in which a resident name, a company name, and the like can be easily associated with each house, a building, etc., and the scale ratio is extremely high.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional house map, not only the address and address but also the resident's name are written together on the building display. For this reason, in order to fit these descriptions within the outline of the building display for each house, It was necessary to take a large space for the building. Therefore, the scale of a house map is practically required to be 1 / 1,000 to 1,500 in urban areas even if it is small. In addition, it is necessary to make the size of the map book relatively large so that the target buildings, the roads to the buildings and the situation in the vicinity can be listed.
[0003]
As for the attached index, only the pages corresponding to each chome and each chome of the address are posted, so in order to find the target building, a large format as described above opened by the index It was necessary to find the target building from among many buildings with the same chome but different addresses on a large table. Furthermore, because the description space of each building is large under the scale with a low scale as described above, the buildings belonging to the same chome are often described distributed over several pages, For this reason, the task of finding the intended residence (building) is complicated and cumbersome, lacking in speed, and is inefficient and accompanied by great dissatisfaction.
[0004]
In addition, it has been mandatory to include your name and address on the housing map so far. For this reason, hire part-time students and ask them to walk one by one, check the address and name, and check the housing map. The map was created by so-called human naval tactics by newly writing or correcting the house. In this way, the complexity of creating a map accompanying the description of the name and the complexity of changing the description of the name accompanying the address transfer after the creation of the map are not normal, and for such a field survey conducted every year. Labor costs accounted for a substantial portion of the expenses, which increased the cost of creating residential maps.
[0005]
Also, such a house map is cluttered and difficult to see because the address, address and name or building are written together in the same color. Therefore, it must be greatly described in order to ensure practicality that can be discerned with the naked eye. Rather, the scale of reduction was increasingly lowered. Therefore, the overall size and size of the map will be increased, and this increase in size and size of the map, combined with the above-mentioned personnel costs, will make the housing map more expensive and may be inconvenient to carry. It was.
[0006]
Due to this high price, large size, and large booklet, residential maps are not generally spread, and the utilization rate is low enough to be used only in a small part such as government offices and companies that particularly need housing-related information. It has become a thing. Moreover, for the same reason, even companies that require a housing map are not generally used individually by mobile phones, and the usage rate is low from that point as well.
[0007]
And in the use of a house map, the information required in the process of finding the target building is generally the address of the house, except for some exceptions such as public facilities and famous buildings. This is a clue for determining whether or not the search is approaching the target building. The name may be required for further confirmation when the target building is found, but it is not essential. Not only is the name of the resident of a nearby building during the search unnecessary, but it generally interferes with the search. In fact, because the name is written in kanji, a large percentage of the space is required in the building outline on the house map. As a result, the address number that is a number must be written small in one corner. Therefore, as a human habit when reading written information, not only the address and address but also unnecessary characters (names) in the vicinity are read during the search, which hinders a quick search.
[0008]
Furthermore, in the creation of an existing housing map, for example, the name of the resident is entered by looking at the nameplates of each house. Will be listed. For this reason, it has a problem also from the point of protection of privacy.
[0009]
Due to the above-mentioned various restrictions, there is a wide demand for a residential map that is affordable and easily accessible to the general public, is small and can be searched quickly, and is well-considered for protecting personal privacy. Despite this, such a map has not yet been realized.
[0010]
The object of the present invention is to make it easy to associate a resident name, a company name, etc. for each house, building, etc., taking into account the above-mentioned conventional situation, having a high scale ratio, being small and inexpensive, and having the latest contents It is to provide a housing map that is accurate, privacy-friendly and can be searched quickly.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
First of all, the residential map of the invention described in claim 1 omits the name of the resident and the name of the building, and only the address and the polygon and address of the building for general houses and buildings other than public facilities and famous buildings, etc. that are used as a guide for search A map with a wide bird's-eye view by compressing the scale, dividing each page describing the map into appropriate sections, providing an index column as an accessory, and providing the map in the index column The chome, the address and the number where all the residential buildings described in the above are located are listed and corresponded to the description page of the residential building and the symbol number of the written section on the map.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
Drawing 1 is a figure showing an example of a page of a house map in which only an address (address number and number of an address) in one embodiment was indicated. The map 1 shown in the figure is divided into eight sections by three vertical lines 2 and one horizontal line 3. The upper divisions are the first division, the second division, the third division, and the fourth division from left to right, and the numbers in parentheses at the center of the divisions are (1), (2), (3), and (4), respectively. It is appended. In the lower row, the division numbers following the above are similarly labeled (5), (6), (7) and (8) in the middle of the division. These division numbers are page numbers showing the division in an enlarged manner. For example, a detailed diagram with an address of the fourth division is posted on page 4 indicated by the division number (4). The map graphic is created using an original image, an image scanner, a vector data conversion device, a polygon (polygonal enclosing graphic) conversion device, and a computer. The address data and some names (text data) described later are Add by input by work. This map data is stored in an appropriate medium as an electronic house map with an address. Then, if necessary, it is printed out using a plotter or the like.
[0018]
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged page of the fourth section of the page shown as an example, that is, four pages. The enlarged map 4 shown in the figure is partitioned (divided) into six sections up and down by five partition lines 5. These sections are marked with section numbers 1, 2,..., 6 from the top on the left outer side. The enlarged map 4 is a house map to be searched, and the map 1 in FIG. 1 is an overhead view used to know the whole image near the searched address after detecting the whereabouts of the search. .
[0019]
FIG. 3 further enlarges the sixth section of the enlarged map 4 of FIG. 2 for convenience of explanation. As shown in FIG. 3, in the sixth section, the character name (Azana) 6 of “Hagiwara”, which is the place name of this whole area, is written on the left side. Concentrated slightly to the right, houses and other buildings (hereinafter referred to as buildings) are represented by polygons, and in addition to the description “7 × Public hall” of public facilities, ordinary houses and buildings The name of the resident and the name of the building are omitted. The building is marked with a sunspot and only the street address is added. This black dot is attached in order to manage polygon data by attribute inside the computer.
[0020]
In the sixth section shown in the figure, 30, 32, 33, 35, 52, 53-1, 55, 56, 57, 60, 61, 64, 65, 66, 69, 70, 1539, 1539-2, 1804 , 1808, 1812, 1813-1, 1813-2, 1814, 1821-3, 1821-2 are scattered in random order.
[0021]
In this way, the address locations are in random order within one section because the addresses are assigned according to administrative divisions that are divided on topography and road boundaries, and are simply partitioned into squares. This is because it does not fit in the order of the map. In this way, if the address arrangement is out of order, nearby addresses will not immediately serve as a guide for searching, so if the name is listed here as in the past, the name description will interfere with the field of view. It is not easy to find the building at the target address by visual inspection. As shown in the figure, if the name is not described but only the address is described, it is easy to visually find the building at the target address even if the addresses are described in any order. In the present embodiment, an index field is provided on the map as an attachment so that a building can be easily searched by knowing the address.
[0022]
FIG. 4 is a chart showing an example of the index field. The figure shows an example of a character name (town name in an urban area)
The address of the house (hereinafter referred to as the house address) included in the letter name, and the map page on which the building of the house address is posted and its division are described in a list.
[0023]
In the index column shown in the figure, there are three character names: Kohara, Otohara, and Sugawara. The first house address with the character name Kohara is “8-14-5”, the corresponding page is “1”, and the division is “4”. This means that Kobara's 8th, 9th, ..., 14th and 5th are listed in the 4th section of 1 page.
[0024]
“˜” in the house address “8-14-5” indicates that the description of the intermediate address is omitted.
That is, the smallest address and number listed in the fourth section on page 1 is “8” (no number), and the largest address and number is “14-5”. . Therefore, if you know from the phone book that Kohara's “○ ike △ Taro” resides in address 9, address 9 is included in the range of “8-14-5”. Find the 4th section. In addition, the correspondence column of the house address of the above-mentioned Kohara and the page and section is 3 rows × 10 columns, and there are relatively many numbers. It is because it is scattered in the division.
[0025]
For example, in the above-mentioned Kohara, the addresses in the range from address 8 to address 100 No. 4 are scattered in a total of 3 sections of the 3rd section, the 4th section, and the 6th section, and the number is divided into 6 places. .
[0026]
In addition, where the addresses are concentrated, as described in Otohara in the same figure, many addresses from address 23 to address 133 in the same range as above are divided into the second and third sections on one page. It fits in only two sections, and the street address is not divided. In this way, where the addresses are concentrated, the index column is described within one line.
[0027]
In addition, the address published in the character name “Hagiwara” area of the sixth section on page 4 shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3 is the first line in the column of the character name “Hagiwara” in the index column of FIG. In the middle column, the above-mentioned 30, 32, 33, 35, 52, 53-1, 55, 56, 57, 60, 61, 64 as house address "30-70", page "4", section "6" , 65, 66, 69, and 70 are shown, and in the middle column of the eighth row, the above-mentioned 1539, 1539 are described as the house address “1539-1821-3”, page “4”, and section “6”. -2, 1804, 1808, 1812, 1813-1, 1813-2, 1814, 1821-3 and 1821-2 are shown.
[0028]
By this, when searching for a house of “X Kaki ○ Jiro” in Kashihara, look up the page of Kashihara area in the phone book, search for X Kaki ○ Jiro, and the address listed with the phone number, for example, The search map on page 4 shown in FIG. 2 from the character name “Hagiwara”, the house address “30 to 70”, the page “4”, and the section “6” in the index column of FIG. In the sixth section of No. 4, the building 8 at address 52 (see the enlarged view of FIG. 3) can be found.
[0029]
In this way, if the name is known, it is possible to easily find the residence position on the map using the telephone directory and the index field. If the address is known, it can be immediately searched from the index column. And according to the test result of measuring the search speed in the present embodiment, it has been found that the search can be performed at a speed approximately ten times faster than a conventional house map with a name.
[0030]
Further, as described above, since this house map only describes the address, it can be reduced to a small scale so that the address can be read. Experimenting with various practical scales of the maximum scale, we have further reduced the vertical scale to 1/5 and horizontal to 1/5 of the typical scale of 1/1000 in conventional urban areas. Thus, it can be seen that it can be formed to a scale of 1/5000. This is a compression of a data amount of 1/25 in terms of area with respect to the conventional 1/1000 scale. That is, a small residential map of about 1/25 can be realized.
[0031]
In the search map 4 shown in FIG. 2, the division is divided into six columns and is not divided in the horizontal direction. However, in the city or other places where buildings are crowded, a division is further provided in the horizontal direction. It's okay.
[0032]
FIG. 5 shows an example in which the same search map 4 as in FIG. 2 is divided vertically and horizontally into a total of 24 sections. In this way, when dividing vertically and horizontally, for example, as shown in the figure, alphabetical characters such as A, B, C, and D are used to indicate the division symbols in the horizontal direction, and the index column in FIG. Describes the vertical division number and horizontal division symbol as “1A”, “6C” in the division description column. As a result, the addresses in the 24 sections can be described corresponding to each section.
[0033]
Government agencies and housing-related companies may still need a residential map with their names. Even in such a case, the housing map in the present embodiment, but in this case, the electronic housing map with the address that has been digitized and the telephone directory that has also been digitized, and so on, A map can be created.
[0034]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a method of creating the electronic house map with the names of all households. The electronic database 11 shown in the figure is an electronic telephone book of the type stored in, for example, a commercially available CD-ROM. Alternatively, each page of the phone book is read using a commercially available scanner, and this is also converted into text data by using a commercially available image / text conversion software to create a personal electronic phone book in advance. May be.
[0035]
And the electronic house map 12 with an address of the figure is an electronic house map containing only the address which concerns on this invention mentioned above. As shown in the figure, a personal computer 13 reads the electronic telephone book 11 and the electronic house map 12 with the address, and uses the address (address number and number) as a key to store the name data of the electronic telephone book 11 and The polygon data of the addressed electronic house map 12 is connected. As a result, the electronic house map 14 with the names of all households is generated.
[0036]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a data structure of the potential house map 14 with the name of all households. As shown in the figure, the electronic house map 14 including the names of all households has the address data 15 as a connection key, one of which corresponds to the vector map data (polygon data, etc.) 16 of the addressed electronic house map 12 and the other. A table is created corresponding to the name data 17 of the electronic telephone book 11. The electronic house map 14 with the names of all households is stored and stored in a hard disk of the personal computer 13, a readable / writable CD-ROM, a plurality of floppy disks, and the like.
[0037]
If the name is input from the keyboard of the personal computer 13, the electronic house map 14 with the name of all households is displayed on the display device of the personal computer 13 with the name of the building where the person resides. Is added and the mark flashes. It is also possible to print out a map of an appropriate range of the area using a plotter.
[0038]
As for the correction of the map due to the new construction of the house, etc., the lot number closest to the new house is searched by the computer on the electronic house map data, and the circle within a certain radius around the lot number is colored on the PC screen. It is possible to display or print out the data on paper to obtain the location information of the new house. This makes it possible to efficiently update the newly-built house map data by limiting the scope of the survey in advance and discriminating with satellite data or aerial photographs, or by conducting a field survey.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a user searches for a target building by searching based on the crest and address of a highly reliable database such as a telephone directory. Because there is no need to describe it, only the street address is included in the house map. Therefore, it is possible to create a map with a high reduction scale without requiring a large description base, and therefore, a small, thin, easy-to-handle and inexpensive price. Can provide a simple residential map. For the same reason, it is possible to provide a low-priced and accurate searchable house map without requiring an enormous amount of labor, such as a field survey for writing a name, when creating a house map. Furthermore, for the same reason, except for public facilities and well-known buildings, etc., only the house addresses are listed, and for all buildings, the posted pages and the corresponding sections in the pages can be easily identified. By attaching a detailed index column, it is possible to provide a housing map that is simple, easy to see and can be searched quickly. In addition, since the phone book data updated every year is used as a search key, there is no need to change the description of the map with the relocation of residents, so a residential map that can always be referred to accurately and practically at a low price is provided. be able to. In addition, the map correction associated with the new construction of a house can be easily registered by using an electronic database or the like, so that an efficient and inexpensive correction can be made. In addition, the name is not written on the house map, and on the other hand, the name data and search for the electronic house map with the name of all households are based on the phone book database. Can be automatically excluded from search, thus providing a well-maintained residential map with privacy protection.
