[Information sharing system]
Next, an information sharing system including a plurality of navigation devices 1 will be described. FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the information sharing system. In FIG. 2, the information sharing system 100 includes a plurality of navigation devices 1a to 1c. Each of the navigation devices 1a to 1c has the configuration shown in FIG. That is, each navigation device 1 a to 1 c communicates with the server 101 or another navigation device 1 using the communication device 38.

  Basically, each navigation device 1 a to 1 c can transmit and receive information by connecting to the server 101. For example, when the user A who operates the navigation device 1a provides certain information to the other users B and C, the user A uploads the information to the server 101, and the users B and C receive the information from the server 101. Download to navigation devices 1b and 1c. When each navigation device 1a to 1c is configured to be able to communicate peer-to-peer (hereinafter referred to as “P2P”), as shown by a broken line 107 in FIG. Information can be sent and received directly without going through.

  Each user A-C operates each navigation apparatus 1a-1c, logs in to the communication network which comprises the information sharing system 100, and becomes a member of the information sharing system 100, and can share information. Specifically, each user inputs a predetermined user name, password, and the like on the navigation device 1 and logs in to the communication network. The logged-in navigation device 1 recognizes another navigation device 1 that has already logged in on the communication network, and is recognized by the other navigation device 1. Thus, the user becomes a member of the information sharing system 100 until logging out of the communication network. Further, as a basic function, the navigation device 1 constituting the information sharing system (that is, logging in) periodically transmits the current position information of its own vehicle to the navigation devices 1 of other members. As a result, while participating in the information sharing system, each member can mutually recognize the current position of the vehicle of the other member.

[Information transmission / reception method]
Next, a basic information transmission / reception method in the information sharing system 100 will be described. In this embodiment, each navigation device 1 transmits and receives music data reproduced by the audio output unit 50 to each other in the information sharing system 100. That is, music data is an example of provided information in the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the music data transmission / reception method will be described in detail. Now, in FIG. 2, the user A who uses the navigation device 1a becomes the information provider (that is, the information sender), the users B and C who use the navigation devices 1b and 1c become the information receivers, and the music data Is assumed to be transmitted and received.

  The navigation apparatus 1a of the user A who is an information provider includes a music DB 110 that stores a large number of music data. The navigation device 1a also includes a music list 120 that is a list of a large number of music data stored in the music DB 110. The music DB 110 and the music list 120 can be stored in the data storage unit 36 shown in FIG.

  The basic flow of the music data providing method is shown in FIG. In this example, it is assumed that the user B requests the music list and the music from the user A, and the user A provides the music data to all users including the user B.

  First, the user B operates his / her own navigation device 1b to request the music list 120 from the user A who is an information provider (step S1). On the other hand, the navigation device 1a of the user A transmits the music list 120 to the navigation devices 1 of all members of the information sharing system 100 (step S2).

  Each user who receives the music list 120 refers to the music list, selects a music to be played, and transmits a request for transmitting the music (also referred to as “request”) to the navigation device 1a of the user A (step). S3). In response to this, the navigation device 1a of the user A transmits the music data of the requested music to the navigation devices 1 of all the members participating in the information sharing system 100 (step S4). In this way, members participating in the information sharing system 100 can share the music data stored in the navigation device 1 of the user A.

  FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of music data transmission processing. This transmission process is realized by the system controller 20 of the navigation device 1 used by a user who is an information provider executing a program prepared in advance. Now, as illustrated in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the information provider is the user A and the information receivers are the users B and C.

  First, the user B or C who is the information receiver operates the navigation device 1 and requests the music list from the user A who is the information provider. The navigation device 1a of the user A determines whether or not there is a music list request from another navigation device 1 (step S11). If there is no request for the music list, the process ends. When there is a request for the music list, the navigation device 1a of the user A transmits the music list to the navigation devices 1 of all members participating in the information sharing system 100 (that is, all users who are logged in) (step S12). ). In this example, the music list is transmitted to the navigation devices 1b and 1c of the users B and C.

  Next, when the user who has received the music list views the music list and sends a request for the music to be played back, the navigation device of the information provider receives it (step S13; Yes), and totals the number of requests for each music. The result is displayed on the display 44 of the navigation device 1a (step S14). The total number of requests indicates the number of requests for each song in the song list. Then, user A sees the result of the request and designates the music to be transmitted, and navigation device 1a receives the designation (step S15). Then, the navigation device 1a transmits the music data designated by the user A to all members (step S16). Thus, the music requested by a specific user who is a member of the information sharing system is transmitted to the navigation devices 1 of all the members and reproduced. Note that the music data transmitted to each navigation device 1 in step S16 can be stream data. Thereby, the user of each navigation apparatus 1 can hear the transmitted music immediately.

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of music data reception processing. This transmission process is realized by the system controller 20 of the navigation device 1 used by the user who is the information receiver executing a program prepared in advance. 2, it is assumed that the information provider is the user A and the information receivers are the users B and C.

  First, the user B who is an information receiver operates the navigation device 1b to request a music list from the navigation device 1a of the user A (step S21), and receives the music list (step S22). Next, when the user B refers to the received music list and designates the music to be played (step S23; Yes), the navigation device 1b transmits a playback request for the music to the navigation device 1a of the user A (step). S24). And the navigation apparatus 1b of the user B receives and reproduces the music data transmitted from the navigation apparatus 1a of the user A.

  Since the information provider is set to transmit music data to all members, the navigation device 1c of the user C can also receive and play the music requested by the user B. Thus, if one of the members requests a music list from a user who is an information provider, and one of the users who has received the music list requests a user who is an information provider to play a music, information sharing is performed. All members of the system 100 can obtain the song. Also, by providing music data as stream data, all members can listen to the same music almost simultaneously.

  In the above example, the navigation device 1 of the information provider transmits the music list to all members in step S12. Instead, a specific member including at least the member who has requested the music list in step S11. It is good also as transmitting a music list only to.

  Further, in the above example, the result of request summarization is displayed in step S14, and finally the music to be transmitted by the user is designated from among them. Instead, the information provider's navigation device 1 may sequentially transmit all the requested music pieces to each member without displaying the result of the request aggregation. In addition, the fact that the request has been made is displayed on the navigation device 1 of the information provider and notified, and the music data of the requested music is transmitted only for the request that has been confirmed by the information provider user. It is good.

  In the above example, the music data is transmitted to all members in step S16. Instead, the music data may be transmitted only to specific members including at least the member who requested the music. Absent.

[Display screen example]
Next, an example of a display screen displayed to the user during the music data transmission / reception operation will be described. Hereinafter, an operation procedure by the user will be described with reference to a display screen example of the navigation device 1.

  FIG. 6A shows a display screen example of the navigation device 1b used by the user B. In this example, it is assumed that the users A to C log in to the communication network using the navigation devices 1a to 1c, respectively, and are members of the information sharing system as shown in FIG. In this example, it is assumed that the users A to C are performing so-called chat using the communication network of the information sharing system 100. Note that chatting generally means that a plurality of users who are accessing the Internet or personal computer communication have conversations in real time using characters on the screen. In this example, the user uses the navigation device 1 as a terminal device and exchanges character string (text) data in real time with a user who uses another navigation device. Note that character information input by a certain user is basically displayed on the navigation devices 1 of all users participating in the chat.

  A display screen 130 is displayed on the display 44 of the navigation device 1b of the user B as shown in FIG. The display screen 130 includes a map, various input buttons, and a chat message. Specifically, a map near the current position of the vehicle including the road 131 on the map is displayed on the display screen 130, and a current position mark 132 indicating the current position of the vehicle and a route currently being guided are displayed on the map. The guide route 133 and the current position marks 134a and 134c of the vehicles of other members participating in the chat are displayed. The current position mark 134a corresponds to the user A's vehicle including the navigation device 1a, and the current position mark 134c corresponds to the user C's vehicle including the navigation device 1c. Further, a message window 145 showing a chat message is displayed on the display screen 130.

  Various input buttons are displayed at the left and right positions of the display screen 130. The music list request button 136 is used when a user who is an information receiver requests a user who is an information provider to transmit a music list. The music request button 137 is used when a user who is an information receiver makes a music request to a user who is an information provider. The request display button 138 is used when a user who is an information provider displays a count result of requests for music transmitted from other users and transmits music data. The music playback button 139 is used when the user who is the information provider transmits the music data to each member and plays it back without request from the user who is the information receiver.

  In this example, the navigation device of the information provider transmits music data to all members of the information sharing system 100 in principle. However, the music data can be transmitted only to a specific member by the selection of the user A who is the information provider.

  First, on the display screen 130 shown in FIG. 6A, when the user B who is the information receiver presses the music list request button 136, a request for a music list is sent from the navigation device 1b to the navigation device 1a and responds to this. Then, the music list is transmitted from the navigation device 1a to the navigation device 1b. When the music list is received, as shown in FIG. 6A, the navigation device 1b notifies the user B by displaying that fact on a message window 145, for example.

  Next, when the user B presses the music request button 137, a music list screen 140 shown in FIG. 6B is displayed on the display 44 of the navigation device 1b. A music list including a plurality of music is displayed on the music list screen 140, and the user can select the music bar 141 by operating the input device 60 such as a remote control or a touch panel. When the user B selects one or a plurality of music pieces that the user B desires to play, selects the music piece by the music bar 141, and presses the send button 142, the request for the music piece selected by the user B is sent to the navigation apparatus 1a of the user A. Sent. Thereafter, the display screen 130 shown in FIG. 6A is displayed on the display 44 of the navigation device 1b.

  When the navigation device 1a of the user A receives the music request from the navigation device 1b of the user B, the message indicating that the music request has been received is displayed in the message window 145, as shown in FIG. When the user A presses the request display button 138, as shown in FIG. 7B, a screen 160 showing the result of request aggregation is displayed on the display 44. On the screen 160, the number of requests is displayed in each music bar 141. User A refers to the tabulated result of the request, selects the music bar 141, selects the music to be transmitted to the member, and presses the send button 142. Thereby, the music data of the music selected by the user A is transmitted to the navigation devices 1 of all members of the information sharing system 100 and reproduced.

  In the above embodiment, the user A is always an information provider, but in reality, the roles of the information provider and the information receiver change from moment to moment. That is, at a certain point in time, among users of a plurality of navigation devices constituting the information sharing system, a user who has received a music list request from another user becomes an information provider, and all other users receive information. Become a person. When a music list request is made to another user at the next time point, the user who receives the request becomes an information provider. Therefore, the members of the information sharing system can request the music possessed by other members and play them on their own navigation devices as necessary.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the information sharing system, when a user who is an information receiver requests a music list from a user who is an information provider, all users who configure the information sharing system are requested. The music list is transmitted, and each user can make a music request. When each user makes a music request, the navigation device of the user who is the information provider displays the totaled result of the request. The totaled result of the request is a kind of questionnaire for each user, and the user who is the information provider can see the totaled result and transmit music that satisfies the members.

[Modification]
In the above example, music data is cited as information shared by members of the information sharing system, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, information on points to be registered in the navigation device can be shared. For example, a user who is an information provider provides a list of registered points to other members, and each member selects a destination he / she wants to go to and makes a request to the information provider. The information provider determines the destination with reference to the total result of the request, and transmits the position information of the destination and / or route information to the destination to the navigation devices of all members. Thereby, the same destination can be set in the navigation devices of all the members.

  In the above embodiment, the music list and the music request, and the music list and the music data are transmitted / received mainly via the server. However, as described with reference to FIG. It is also possible to send and receive data using P2P communication. In particular, the music list request, the music data transmission request, and the music list itself are suitable for transmission by P2P because they have a smaller data amount than the music data.

  The present invention can be used for a mobile navigation apparatus represented by a vehicle or the like.
