  For example, it is assumed that the type information is “age” and the timing information is “immediately after activation”. Further, it is assumed that age information “25 years old” is stored in an arbitrary storage area of the terminal device 1. In this case, if the terminal device 1 is turned on and the terminal device 1 is activated, the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires “25 years old” as age information that is attribute information. For example, it is assumed that the type information is “model” and the timing information is “moving”. Further, it is assumed that the model identifier “PHN-008” is stored in an arbitrary storage area of the terminal device 1. In this case, assuming that the terminal device 1 is moving, the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires “PHN-008” as a model identifier that is attribute information.

Moreover, the attribute information acquisition part 14 may accumulate | store the acquired attribute information in arbitrary storage areas, for example. Moreover, the attribute information acquisition part 14 may calculate attribute information, for example using the attribute information stored in arbitrary storage areas. That is, the attribute information acquisition unit 14 may acquire attribute information regarding temporary attributes, or may acquire attribute information regarding past attributes. Moreover, the attribute information acquisition part 14 should just be able to acquire attribute information, and the method, a procedure, etc. are not ask | required.

  The attribute information acquisition unit 14 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the attribute information acquisition unit 14 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The attribute information acquisition unit 14 includes a static user attribute information acquisition unit, a dynamic user attribute information acquisition unit, a static terminal attribute information acquisition unit, a dynamic terminal attribute information acquisition unit, a position information acquisition unit, and a direction information acquisition. Means or the like (both not shown) may be provided. The direction information is information indicating the direction. The direction information is, for example, “north”, “south”, “northwest”, “southeast”, “180 °”, “90 °”, and the like. The static user attribute information acquisition unit acquires static user attribute information. The dynamic user attribute information acquisition unit acquires dynamic user attribute information. Further, the static terminal attribute information acquisition unit acquires static terminal attribute information. Further, the dynamic terminal attribute information acquisition unit acquires dynamic terminal attribute information. In addition, the position information acquisition unit acquires information indicating the position of the terminal device 1. Further, the orientation information acquisition unit acquires information indicating the orientation of the terminal device 1.

  The static user attribute information acquisition unit acquires, for example, static user attribute information stored in an arbitrary storage area. The dynamic user attribute information acquisition unit acquires, for example, two or more static user attribute information from an arbitrary storage area, and generates and acquires dynamic user attribute information from the static user attribute information. . The static terminal attribute information acquisition unit acquires, for example, static terminal attribute information stored in an arbitrary storage area. Further, the dynamic terminal attribute information acquisition unit acquires, for example, two or more static terminal attribute information from an arbitrary storage area, and generates and acquires dynamic terminal attribute information from the static terminal attribute information. .

  Static user attribute information acquisition timing in the static user attribute information acquisition means, dynamic user attribute information acquisition timing in the dynamic user attribute information acquisition means, and static terminal attributes in the static terminal attribute information acquisition means Timing of information acquisition, timing of acquisition of dynamic terminal attribute information in the dynamic terminal attribute information acquisition means, timing of acquisition of position information in the position information acquisition means, and timing of acquisition of direction information in the direction information acquisition means Is the same as that of the attribute information acquisition unit 14, for example.

  Static user attribute information acquisition means, dynamic user attribute acquisition means, static terminal attribute information acquisition means, and dynamic terminal attribute acquisition means can usually be realized by MPU, memory, etc. Circuit). The processing procedures of these means are usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM.

  The determination unit 15 determines whether or not the attribute information matches the attribute condition. The attribute information here is attribute information acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 14. The attribute condition here is an attribute condition stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12.

  For example, when the attribute condition is stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12, the determination unit 15 first acquires the attribute information acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 14. Then, the determination unit 15 searches the attribute condition that matches the acquired attribute condition from the attribute conditions stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12 using the acquired attribute information as a search key. Then, the determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information matches the attribute condition when the attribute condition is acquired as a result of the search. The determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information does not match the attribute condition when the attribute condition cannot be acquired as a result of the search.

  For example, when attribute condition management information is stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12, the determination unit 15 first acquires the attribute information acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 14. Then, the determination unit 15 uses the acquired attribute information as a search key, and searches for attribute conditions that match the acquired attribute information from the attribute conditions included in the attribute condition management information stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12. Then, the determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information matches the attribute condition when the attribute condition is acquired as a result of the search. The determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information does not match the attribute condition when the attribute condition cannot be acquired as a result of the search. Then, the determination unit 15 acquires a map information change instruction corresponding to the attribute condition acquired as a result of the determination.

  For example, it is assumed that the attribute condition “gender = (female)” is stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12. Further, it is assumed that the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires gender information “female”. In this case, the determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information matches the attribute condition. Further, for example, it is assumed that attribute condition management information “age group ≧ (30's) | (point name display, convenience store)” is stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12. Further, it is assumed that the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires age group information “40's”. In this case, the determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information matches the attribute condition, and acquires a map information change instruction “display location name, convenience store”.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that only the attribute condition “type = (car navigation)” is stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12. Further, it is assumed that the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires the type information “mobile phone”. In this case, the determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information does not match the attribute condition. Further, for example, it is assumed that the attribute condition management information “screen resolution ≧ (400 × 300) | (point name displayed, exists)” is stored in the attribute condition storage unit 12. Further, it is assumed that the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires the screen resolution information “300 × 200”. In this case, the determination unit 15 determines that the attribute information does not match the attribute condition, and does not acquire the map information change instruction “display location name”.

  The determination unit 15 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the determination unit 15 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The control unit 16 instructs the later-described output unit 17 to change the map information output by the output unit 17. Here, “instructing to change map information” usually means sending a map information change instruction.

  The control unit 16 normally sends the map information change instruction acquired by the determination unit 15 to the output unit 17. That is, the control unit 16 acquires the acquired map information change instruction as a result of determining whether or not the attribute information of the determination unit 15 matches the attribute condition, and sends the map information change instruction to the output unit 17. . For example, when the determination unit 15 acquires a point information change instruction that is a map information change instruction, the control unit 16 sends the point information change instruction to the output unit 17. For example, when the determination unit 15 acquires a road color change instruction that is a map information change instruction, the control unit 16 sends the road color change instruction to the output unit 17.

  Moreover, the control part 16 may send a map information change instruction | indication using attribute condition management information, for example. In this case, the attribute condition management information is normally held by the control unit 16, but may be stored in an arbitrary storage area. In this case, for example, the control unit 16 first acquires the attribute information determined as a result of the determination by the determination unit 15 that the attribute information matches the attribute condition. Then, the control unit 16 uses the acquired attribute information as a search key to search for an attribute condition that matches the acquired attribute information from the attribute conditions of the held attribute condition management information. Then, the control unit 16 acquires a map information change instruction.

  For example, the control unit 16 may generate a map information change instruction from the attribute information acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 14 and send the map information change instruction to the output unit 17. In this case, the control unit 16 may generate a map information change instruction using, for example, map information change instruction generation information. The map information change instruction generation information is information relating to a procedure or pattern for generating a map information change instruction. The map information change instruction generation information includes, for example, type information and a generation procedure. The type information is information indicating the type of attribute information. The generation procedure is information indicating a procedure or pattern for generating a map information change instruction from the attribute information. In addition, the type information and the generation information are usually associated one to one.

  The type information includes, for example, “user attribute”, “sex”, “age”, “age group”, “terminal attribute”, “type”, “model”, “screen resolution”, and the like. The generation procedure is, for example, “road color change, ((S = female)? (Software): (bright))”, “point name display, INT (AGE / 40)”, or the like. Here, “S” is a symbol indicating gender information. “INT ()” is a symbol indicating a function for converting a value designated in “()” into an integer. “AGE” is a symbol indicating age information.

  For example, the control unit 16 first acquires type information indicating the type of the attribute information from the attribute information acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 14. Then, the control unit 16 acquires a generation procedure corresponding to the type information from the map information change instruction generation information using the type information as a search key. And the control part 16 produces | generates a map information change instruction | indication from the said production | generation procedure and the attribute information which the attribute information acquisition part 14 acquired.

  For example, it is assumed that the attribute information acquisition unit 14 acquires gender information “female”. Further, it is assumed that the type information “gender” and the generation procedure “change road color, ((S = female)? (Software) :( bright))” are associated with the map information change instruction generation information. In this case, the control unit 16 uses the “gender” indicating that the information acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 14 is gender information as a search key, and the generation procedure “change road color, ((S = female)? (Software) : (Bright)) ”. Then, the control unit 16 replaces “S” indicating the gender information with the gender information “female”, evaluates “(female = female)? (Software) :( bright)”, and acquires “soft”. The map information change instruction “road color change, software” is generated.

  The map information change instruction generation information is normally held by the control unit 16, but may be stored in an arbitrary storage area.

  The control unit 16 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the control unit 16 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The output unit 17 outputs map information in response to the output instruction. That is, the output unit 17 first acquires the output instruction received by the receiving unit 13. And the output part 17 acquires the map information stored in the map information storage part 11 according to the said output instruction | indication. Then, the output unit 17 outputs the acquired map information.

  The output unit 17 changes the output of the map information in accordance with the map information change instruction. That is, the output unit 17 first acquires the map information change instruction sent by the control unit 16. And the output part 17 changes the content of the map information currently output according to the said map information change instruction | indication. And the output part 17 outputs the map information which changed the said content.

  For example, it is assumed that the output unit 17 has acquired a point information change instruction. In this case, the output unit 17 is, for example, the spot information included in the map information being output, the spot information indicated by the spot information change instruction is kept displayed, and the other spot information is hidden. Change the display or non-display of the point information on the map indicated by the map information.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that the output unit 17 has acquired a road color change instruction. In this case, for example, the output unit 17 acquires the road information included in the output map information, and uses the color information indicated by the information included in the road color change instruction for the color information included in the road information. The color change process is performed, the road information subjected to the process is output, and the color of the road on the map indicated by the map information is changed.

  The color changing process is a process for changing color information. The color change process includes, for example, a color replacement process, a hue change process, a color reset process, and the like. The color replacement process is a process for replacing color information with other color information. Also, the hue change process is a process for changing the color information so as to be indicated by the shade of the color indicated by the designated color information. The color reset process is a process for returning the color information to the original color information. In the color replacement process, for example, the color information “(R, G, B) = (128, 255, 64)” is replaced with the color information “(R, G, B) = (255, 64, 128)”. . In the hue change process, for example, the color information “(R, G, B) = (128, 255, 64)” is changed to the color information “(R, G, B) = (128, 0, 0)”. change. In the color reset process, for example, the color information “(R, G, B) = (128, 255, 64)” is changed to the color information “(R, G, B) = (128, 0, 0)”. If it has been changed, the color information is returned to the color information “(R, G, B) = (128, 255, 64)”.

  The output unit 17 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 17 can be realized by driver software for an output device or driver software for an output device and an output device.
