The prime mover operation information is information indicating whether or not the prime mover is operating. The prime mover operation information includes, for example, “ON”, “OFF”, “in operation”, “stopped”, and the like.

  When the traveling direction condition is included, the output condition is usually a logical sum (AND) of the distance condition and / or the time condition and the traveling direction information. Further, when the state condition is included, the output condition is the same as when the traveling direction condition is included.

  Further, the output condition may have a point identifier for identifying the point, for example. The point identifier may be an identifier for identifying point information. In this case, the spot information identified by the spot identifier is normally stored in the output related management information storage unit 11. The output condition may have a time condition related to time. The time condition is usually a condition related to a time condition indicating time.

  Further, the output information may include category information indicating the category of the output information. Specifically, the category information is information indicating a category of output contents indicated by the output information. For example, when the output information is text data, the category information indicates whether the content indicated by the text data is for alerting, for tourist information, or for a local quiz. It is information indicating whether or not it is. When the output information is music data, the category information is information indicating whether the content indicated by the music data is a so-called song, so-called voice, BGM, or sound effect. is there.

When the output information is moving image data, the category information indicates when the content indicated by the moving image data is, what location, what is a movie, what is a so-called drama, Is information indicating whether or not the photograph is taken.

  The output related management information may have an identifier for identifying the output information instead of the output information. In this case, the output information identified by the identifier is normally stored in the output related management information storage unit 11. The output related management information may include date / time information indicating the date / time. Further, date related information may be associated with the output related management information. The date and time is a concept that usually includes the date and time.

In the output related management information, the output condition and the output information are usually associated with one to n. n is usually 1 or more. For example, when output conditions and output information are associated with each other in a one-to-n manner, all output information included in the output related management information includes position information, and 1 for all the output information. Assume that two output conditions are associated. In such a case, the output condition may be, for example, a condition relating to the relationship between the position indicated by the position information included in the output information and the current position. The output conditions in this case are the following conditions, for example.
(1) The distance from the current position to the position indicated by the position information included in the output information satisfies a predetermined condition. (2) The required time from the current position to the position indicated by the position information included in the output information is a predetermined condition. Meeting

  (4) is that date and time information corresponding to the output information satisfies a predetermined condition. “Date information corresponding to output information” is date information associated with output information in the output related management information. (4) is, for example, that the date / time information indicates a date / time within the last week, or that the date / time information indicates a time of daytime (for example, from 12:00 to 15:00).

  The accepting unit 13 accepts output conditions or output information. Acceptance refers to accepting information input from an input device such as a touch panel or a keyboard, receiving information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line, and reading from a recording medium such as an optical disk, magnetic disk, or semiconductor memory. It is a concept that includes the reception of information that has been made.

  The output condition received by the receiving unit 13 may be, for example, spot information or position information that the output condition may have. The point indicated by the point information is, for example, a point where the road (route) is wrong, a point where the U-turn is made, a point that becomes the start point and end point of one closed circuit, or the like. The “closed path” is a path composed of two or more roads, and is a so-called loop path.

  When receiving point information indicating a wrong place on the road, the accepting unit 13 receives, for example, point information indicating a wrong place on the road from a route search unit (not shown) that searches for a route from the current position to the destination. To get. At this time, for example, when performing a reroute (research) when the mobile object has deviated from the route, the route search unit acquires point information indicating a departure place at the time of the reroute. And the reception part 13 acquires the point information which the said route search part acquired.

  When receiving point information indicating a U-turned point, the receiving unit 13 makes a U-turn from, for example, a current position information acquisition unit (not shown) that acquires current position information that is position information indicating the current position. The position information indicating the position of the point is acquired. At this time, for example, the reception unit 13 periodically acquires the traveling direction information from a traveling direction information acquisition unit (not shown) that acquires the traveling direction information indicating the traveling direction, and moves using the traveling direction information. Determine whether the body has made a U-turn. When the receiving unit 13 determines that the moving body has made a U-turn (for example, when the traveling directions indicated by the two traveling direction information acquired consecutively are opposite to each other), the receiving unit 13 receives the current position information from the current position information acquiring unit. Get location information.

  In addition, when receiving point information indicating a starting point and an ending point of one closed circuit, the receiving unit 13 receives position information indicating the positions of the starting point and the ending point of one closed circuit from, for example, the current position information acquisition unit. To get. At this time, for example, the reception unit 13 periodically acquires current position information from the current position information acquisition unit, and determines whether or not the locus of the current position indicated by the current position information is a closed circuit. And when the reception part 13 judges that the said locus | trajectory is a closed circuit (for example, when the locus | trajectory which started from one position returns to the said one position, etc.), it receives from the present position information acquisition part now. Get location information. At this time, for example, the reception unit 13 may determine whether the locus of the current position within a predetermined time is a closed circuit.

  In addition, it is preferable that the output information received by the receiving unit 13 usually includes position information, point information, and the like. The “having” is a concept including correspondence. Moreover, you may provide the said positional information, for example when the reception part 13 receives output information. In addition, when the output information is image data or moving image data, it is preferable that the position information is automatically given when the image data or moving image data is captured.

  Moreover, the reception part 13 may receive output related management information and selection conditions, for example. The reception unit 13 may also receive instructions such as a power-on instruction, a power-off instruction, a map output instruction for outputting map information, and a point selection instruction for selecting a point on the map. Moreover, when the reception part 13 receives these instructions, the vehicle-mounted apparatus 1 normally performs a predetermined process according to the received instructions.

  The accumulation unit 14 accumulates the output condition or output information received by the reception unit 13 in the output related management information storage unit 11. For example, when the receiving unit 13 receives an output condition, the storage unit 14 stores the output condition and predetermined output information in the output related management information storage unit 11. For example, when the receiving unit 13 receives output information, the storage unit 14 stores the output information and a predetermined output condition in the output related management information storage unit 11. Note that the output condition and the output information may correspond to each other in the output related management information storage unit 11 as a result of accumulation. Further, the predetermined output information and the predetermined output condition are, for example, those stored in the output related management information storage unit 11 or those stored in the storage unit 14 in advance. Further, the predetermined output information and the predetermined output condition may be stored in an arbitrary storage area or a predetermined storage area. Further, the storage unit 14 may store output related management information in association with date / time information indicating the date / time at the time of storage.

  For example, when the reception unit 13 receives the spot information, the storage unit 14 may store the spot information in the output related management information storage unit 11 as an output condition. The point information indicates, for example, a point where the user has made a mistake, a point where the user has made a U-turn, a starting point and an ending point of one closed circuit, and the like. In this case, the storage unit 14 may determine whether or not to store the point information, for example, by interaction with the user. The interaction is received by, for example, the receiving unit 13 and an output unit 20 described later. Further, for example, when the reception unit 13 receives an instruction to store the spot information as a result of the interaction, the storage unit 14 determines to store the point information received by the reception unit 13. Further, when accumulating the spot information, the accumulating unit 14 holds, for example, an output condition template, and substitutes the spot information received by the accepting unit 13 into the template. Then, the storage unit 14 associates the assigned output condition with predetermined output information, and stores the output condition in the output related management information storage unit 11.

  For example, assume that the template of the output condition is “distance (current position, $ point) ≦ 1 km”. The “$ spot” in the template is a variable for substituting spot information. Further, it is assumed that the spot information received by the receiving unit 13 is spot information indicating “intersection A”. In this case, the storage unit 14 substitutes the point information for the template, and acquires the output condition “distance (current position, intersection A) ≦ 1 km”.

  For example, when the receiving unit 13 receives output information having position information, the storage unit 14 may store the position information in the output related management information storage unit 11 as an output condition. The position information indicates, for example, a position where the user has acquired the output information. In this case, for example, the storage unit 14 holds an output condition template, and substitutes the position information included in the output information received by the receiving unit 13 into the template. Then, the storage unit 14 associates the assigned output condition with the output information received by the receiving unit 13 and stores the output condition in the output related management information storage unit 11.

  For example, assume that the template of the output condition is “distance (current position, $ position) ≦ 1 km”. The “$ position” in the template is a variable for substituting position information. Further, it is assumed that the position information included in the output information received by the receiving unit 13 is “(x, y)”. In this case, the storage unit 14 substitutes the position information for the template, and acquires the output condition “distance (current position, (x, y)) ≦ 1 km”.

  Further, for example, when the receiving unit 13 receives output information having position information, the storage unit 14 stores in the output related management information storage unit 11 point information indicating points around the position indicated by the position information as an output condition. You may accumulate. In this case, the storage unit 14 holds, for example, a peripheral determination condition for determining whether or not the vicinity of a predetermined position and an output condition template. Then, the storage unit 14 searches for a point that can be determined to be around the position indicated by the position information included in the output information received by the receiving unit 13 using the surrounding determination condition. Then, the storage unit 14 substitutes the spot information indicating the searched spot in the output condition template. Then, the storage unit 14 associates the assigned output condition with the output information received by the receiving unit 13 and stores the output condition in the output related management information storage unit 11.

  For example, it is assumed that the peripheral determination condition is “within 1 km” and the template of the output condition is “distance (current position, $ point) ≦ 500 m”. Further, it is assumed that a point within 1 km from the position indicated by the position information included in the output information received by the receiving unit 13 is an “intersection A”. In this case, the storage unit 14 substitutes the spot information indicating the spot in the template, and acquires the output condition “distance (current position, intersection A) ≦ 500 m”.

  Further, for example, when the reception unit 13 receives the spot information, the storage unit 14 stores the spot information according to the accumulation permission / inhibition information indicating whether or not the spot information is to be accumulated in the output related management information storage unit 11. May be. The accumulating availability information is normally accepted by the accepting unit 13. For example, when the receiving unit 13 receives a selection condition, the storage unit 14 normally stores the selection condition in the selection condition storage unit 12.

  Further, the storage unit 14 stores, for example, an output condition including an output condition including a condition related to a traveling direction information acquired by a traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 described later when the receiving unit 13 receives an output condition or output information. It may be accumulated in the unit 11. The condition relating to the traveling direction information is also a condition relating to the traveling direction indicated by the traveling direction information. For example, when the traveling direction information is “north”, the accumulating unit 14 accumulates the output condition including the condition “traveling direction = north” regarding the traveling direction information in the output related management information storage unit 11.

  Further, the storage unit 14, for example, outputs an output condition including a condition related to state information acquired by a state information acquisition unit 17 (described later) when the reception unit 13 receives an output condition or output information. You may accumulate in The condition relating to the state information is also a condition relating to the state of the moving object indicated by the state information. For example, when the state information is “running”, the accumulation unit 14 accumulates output conditions including the condition “state = running” related to the state information in the output related management information storage unit 11.

  The current position information acquisition unit 15 acquires current position information indicating the current position of the moving object. The current position information acquisition unit 15 normally acquires current position information periodically. In addition, the current position information acquisition unit 15 may acquire the current position information according to an instruction from the user, for example. The current position information acquisition unit 15 acquires current position information from a satellite navigation system (such as a GPS receiver) or a device that receives position information from a base station for mobile communication. In this case, the current position information acquisition unit 15 may have these devices or may be realized by these devices.

To get. For example, when acquiring relative direction information indicating whether the traveling direction of the moving body is a direction approaching or away from the home, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16, for example, includes the current position and the home indicated by the current position information. The distance is calculated and acquired periodically. Then, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 acquires relative direction information indicating that the direction approaches the home if the distance is decreased, and is a direction farther from the home if the distance is increased. Relative direction information indicating that is acquired. The distance may be a linear distance or a route distance. Moreover, when it is a linear distance, the traveling direction information acquisition part 16 is the relative direction information which shows that it is a direction which approaches a home, for example, even if the distance acquired regularly is decreasing and it increases temporarily, for example. May be obtained. Conversely, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 acquires, for example, relative direction information indicating that the distance is regularly increased even if the distance acquired periodically increases and temporarily decreases, even if the distance decreases temporarily. May be.

  Further, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 acquires route information indicating a route to the home, for example. Then, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 determines whether or not the current position indicated by the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 is on the route indicated by the route information. You may acquire the relative direction information which shows that it is a direction which approaches a home. At this time, for example, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 may acquire relative direction information indicating that the current position is away from home if the current position is not on the route.

  Further, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 acquires, for example, absolute direction information and information indicating the home direction (absolute direction) viewed from the current position. Then, the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 acquires relative direction information indicating that the direction is closer to the home if the directions indicated by the two information are substantially the same, and the directions indicated by the two information are substantially the same. If the opposite is true, relative direction information indicating the direction away from home may be acquired. “Substantially match” means, for example, that a difference (error) between two directions satisfies a predetermined condition (a condition for determining that they substantially match). Further, “substantially opposite” means that, for example, a difference (error) between two directions satisfies a predetermined condition (a condition for determining that it is substantially opposite).

  The state information acquisition unit 17 acquires state information indicating the state of the moving body. The state information acquisition unit 17 normally acquires state information periodically.

Then, it is determined which of the output conditions included in the one or more output related management information stored in the output related management information storage unit 11 is met. Further, for example, when the output condition has a state condition, the output information acquisition unit 19 outputs the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 and the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit 17 as output related. It is determined which of the output conditions of one or more output related management information stored in the management information storage unit 11 is met.

  For example, it is assumed that the output condition is “distance (current position, OO tower) ≦ 1 km”. Further, it is assumed that the distance between the current position calculated by the function indicated by the “distance (current position, XX tower)” and the XX tower is “800 m”. At this time, the output information acquisition unit 19 uses the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 and the point information indicating the XX tower included in the output condition, and the distance between the current position and the XX tower. Is calculated. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 matches the output condition.

  For example, it is assumed that the output condition is “(distance (current position, OO tower) ≦ 2 km) & (traveling direction = XX tower: near)”. The traveling direction condition “traveling direction = XX tower: near” in the output condition means that the traveling direction of the moving body is a direction approaching the XX tower. Further, it is assumed that the distance between the current position calculated by the function indicated by the “distance (current position, XX tower)” and the XX tower is “1.5 km”. Further, it is assumed that the traveling direction information (relative direction information) acquired by the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 is “XX tower: near”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 and the traveling direction information acquired by the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 match the output conditions.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that the output condition is “(time (current position, OO tower) ≦ 15 minutes) & (running state = stopped)”. The state condition “running state = stopped” in the output condition means that the moving body is stopped. Further, it is assumed that the required time between the current position calculated by the function indicated by “time (current position, XX tower)” and XX tower is “15 minutes”. Further, it is assumed that the state information (running information) acquired by the state information acquisition unit 17 is “stopped”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 and the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit 17 match the output conditions.

  Further, for example, it is assumed that the output condition is “(time (current position, XX tower) ≦ 15 minutes) & (travel direction = XX tower: near) & (running state = stopped)”. Further, it is assumed that the required time between the current position calculated by the function indicated by “time (current position, XX tower)” and XX tower is “10 minutes”. Further, it is assumed that the traveling direction information (relative direction information) acquired by the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16 is “XX tower: near”. Further, it is assumed that the state information (running information) acquired by the state information acquisition unit 17 is “stopped”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 includes the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15, the traveling direction information acquired by the traveling direction information acquisition unit 16, and the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit 17. Are determined to satisfy the output condition.

  The output information acquisition unit 19 acquires the output information included in the output related management information having the output condition that the determination unit 18 determines that the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 matches. The “output information included in the output related management information having the output condition” is output information associated with the output condition in the output related management information stored in the output related management information storage unit 11.

  For example, in the output related management information stored in the output related management information storage unit 11, the output condition “distance (current position, XX tower) ≦ 1 km” and the output information “XX tower.mp3” are associated with each other. Suppose that The output information is music data or an identifier for identifying music data. Then, it is assumed that the determination unit 18 determines that the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 matches the output condition. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 acquires the output information.

  For example, when the selection condition is stored in the selection condition storage unit 12, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the determination unit 18 determines that the current position information acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 15 matches. Of the output information corresponding to the condition, output information that matches the selection condition may be acquired.

  For example, assume that the output information has format information “text”. Further, it is assumed that the selection condition is “format = text”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the format information included in the output information matches the selection condition, and acquires the output information. Further, for example, assume that the output information includes category information “Landmark”. Further, it is assumed that the selection condition is “category = (landmark or ruins)”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the category information included in the output information matches the selection condition, and acquires the output information. Further, for example, it is assumed that the point information associated with the output information includes the point category information “tourist spot”. In addition, it is assumed that the selection condition is “point category = tourism spot or restaurant”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the spot information corresponding to the output information matches the selection condition, and acquires the output information. Further, for example, it is assumed that the date and time information associated with the output information is “2012/06/06 15:30:45”. Further, it is assumed that the selection condition is “2012/06/01 ≦ date and time <2012/06/07”. In such a case, the output information acquisition unit 19 determines that the spot information corresponding to the output information matches the selection condition, and acquires the output information.

In addition, regarding transmission, accumulation, and delivery of processing results, an output target is finally presented to the user. Further, the output unit 20 normally outputs the output information in an output mode suitable for the format of the output information. For example, when the output information includes format information, category information, position information, and the like, the output unit 20 normally does not output these information.

  In the present embodiment, a route from the current position to a predetermined point is normally searched by a route search unit (not shown).
