  Next, three operations (operations 1 to 3) by the navigation system 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The operation 1 is an operation for recording spot information and the like, and has a flow shown in FIG.

  Various information is obtained using the terminal device 3 (step S31). The acquisition of various kinds of information includes acquisition of images (still images and moving images) by the imaging unit 39, input of characters (text) by the input unit 31, and input of articles on the network.

  In step S31, after obtaining various information, the navigation system 1 is activated. Specifically, the navigation software (software shown in FIG. 2) installed in the terminal device 3 is activated (step S32). Activation here refers to activation of application software in the terminal device 3 or activation of software that necessitates communication with a server using a browser.

  After step S32, whether or not to edit various information for adding additional information to the information is performed on the software (step S33). The information here includes information that can be obtained by the terminal device 3 such as a photograph (still image), a movie (moving image), an article on a WEB page, and the additional information is added to information such as text and paint information. Arbitrary information is mentioned.

  When various types of information are edited (step S34), information that has been actually edited is recorded in at least one of the terminal device 3 and the server 4, and the edited information is registered in the software (step S34). Step S35).

  Further, when various types of information are not edited in step S33, information without additional information is recorded in at least one of the terminal device 3 and the server 4, and the information is registered in software (step S35).

  When at least one piece of information is registered in at least one of the terminal device 3 and the server 4 in step S35, the software is terminated (step S36). If the operation process is forcibly terminated during this process, the operation process is terminated at that time.

  In step S32, the application software and the software that necessitates communication with the server 4 using the browser are distinguished. However, the application software does not necessarily require communication with the server 4, and the terminal This is because the navigation system 1 according to the present embodiment can be constructed even with the device 3 alone.

  The operation 2 is an operation of recording (registering) the locus route 5 and has a flow shown in FIG.

  The navigation system 1 is activated. Specifically, the navigation software installed in the terminal device 3 is activated (step S41).

  After step S41, the current position is detected by the GPS receiver 35 of the terminal device 3 (step S42).

  If the current position is not detected as a result of detecting the current position in step S42, the position is continuously detected until the current position is detected (no in step S42).

  If the position is detected as a result of detecting the current position in step S42, the current position is logged. Then, the log is continuously taken based on the preset log detection setting (logging in step S43). The log detection setting here is a condition setting for detecting a log for each preset time (for example, every 10 seconds to 5 minutes), for each distance (for example, every 1 m to 50 m), or for each combination thereof. Say.

  Then, the user holds the terminal device 3 and moves while logging to form a locus route node. Then, the locus route 5 is created by connecting the logs (nodes) with lines (links) (step S44). The locus route 5 here is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 373.

  After creating the trajectory route 5 composed of nodes and links in step S44, it is checked in the course of the trajectory route 5 whether or not there is an unnecessary route based on a preset correction condition (step S45). Specifically, the confirmation here is based on the presence / absence of information recorded in at least one of the terminal device 3 and the server 4 in the operation 1 and whether or not there is a link (overlapping route 51) with a duplicated position. Do.

  In the locus route 5, there are overlapping routes 51 whose positions overlap each other, that is, when there is a turning point ahead of the overlapping route 51, and it passes through an arbitrary place and returns to an arbitrary place as it is through another route. As a result, it can be mentioned that a part of the locus route 5 is overlapped.

  In the case where there is the former turning point (node) and information such as a spot is recorded at the turning point, the purpose is to stop at the spot point. Is left as it is (no in step S45). On the other hand, if there is a turn-back point and no information such as a spot is recorded at the turn-back point, it is simply determined that the road has been turned back incorrectly or is lost (step S45 is present), and an unnecessary route is present. Therefore, the overlapping route 51 is deleted, and the locus route 5 excluding the overlapping route 51 from the locus route 5 is corrected (route correction in step S46). Regarding the correction of the locus route 5, specifically, a log (node) at a position determined as an unnecessary route is deleted, and adjacent links are connected via the deleted node, or a node adjacent to the deleted node. Create a new link that connects them together.

  In addition, even if the latter route passes through an arbitrary place and moves in a ring shape, and as a result, a part of the locus route 5 overlaps, the same action as in the case where there is a turning point is performed, and the correction condition is set. Whether or not the locus route 5 is corrected is determined.

  In addition, regarding the correction of the locus route 5, fine adjustment of the locus route 5 different from the unnecessary route may be performed together. In this case, it is possible to create a trace route 5 with a clean route, not just a slight deviation from the trace route 5 due to a detour.

  Then, the locus route 5 in which the locus route 5 is corrected based on the determination of the presence or absence of an unnecessary route, or the locus route 5 in which the locus route 5 is not corrected is recorded in at least one of the terminal device 3 and the server 4. Then, the locus route 5 is registered in the software (step S47). In addition, at the time of the main registration, a part of the locus route 5 that is not on the map 7 may be on the route. At this time, a road 6 (a broken line portion of the locus route 5 shown in FIG. 7) is newly formed on the map 7 along the locus route 5. Therefore, a new road 6 can be additionally formed on the map 7 (see FIG. 8). In addition, the spot information described in the operation 1 may be recorded at the time of the main registration. Furthermore, not only the information based on the spot conditions but also the road conditions, time conditions, and popularity conditions that are requirements for the trajectory route conditions. Also record information about weather conditions, etc.

  When at least one locus route 5 is registered in at least one of the terminal device 3 and the server 4 in step S47, the software is terminated (step S48). The process in steps S43 to S46 corresponds to the creation step in the present invention, and the process in step S47 corresponds to the storage step in the present invention. If the operation process is forcibly terminated during this process, the operation process is terminated at that time.

  The operation 3 is an operation for executing navigation and has a flow shown in FIG.

  The navigation system 1 is activated. Specifically, the navigation software installed in the terminal device 3 is activated (step S51).

  After step S51, the navigation system 1 selects whether to execute using only the terminal device 3 or using the terminal device 3 and the server 4 (step S52).

  After the selection in step S52, a navigation route is selected (step S53). In this selection, one of two types of routes, the locus route 5 and a route calculation route (not shown) corresponding to normal navigation, is set (step S54). At this time, the current position is detected at the same time.

  When a route calculation route is selected in step S54 (a route calculation route is selected in step S54), a destination is selected (destination search) based on the route calculation route condition (step S55). Examples of the route calculation route condition items here include an address item as a destination setting, a telephone number item, a genre item, a peripheral facility search item, a home item, a free keyword item, and a registered memory point item.

  As a result of the destination search based on the route calculation route condition in step S55, at least one route calculation route as a candidate is displayed and output on the output unit 32 (display) (step S56).

  It is determined whether or not there is a desired route calculation route from at least one route calculation route displayed and output on the output unit 32 in step S56 (step S57). If there is a desired route calculation route in step S57, navigation by the desired route calculation route is started (Yes in step S57), and if there is no desired route calculation route, the flow returns to step S55 to select the route calculation route condition. (No in step S57).

Next, when the locus route 5 is selected in step S54 (the locus route 5 is selected in step S54), route selection based on the locus route condition is performed (step S58).

  As a result of the search based on the locus route condition in step S58, at least one locus route 5 that is a candidate is displayed and output on the output unit 32 (display) (step S59). Here, when the navigation system 1 is executed using only the terminal device 3, the locus route 5 corresponding to the search based on the locus route condition among at least one locus route 5 stored in the locus route unit 374 of the terminal device 3. When the navigation system 1 is executed using the terminal device 3 and the server 4, at least one locus route 5 stored in the locus route portion 374 of the terminal device 3 and the locus route portion 374 of the terminal device 3 are displayed. Among the stored at least one locus route 5, the locus route 5 corresponding to the search based on the locus route condition is displayed. When the navigation system 1 is executed using the terminal device 3 and the server 4, the locus route corresponding to the search based on the locus route condition out of at least one locus route 5 stored in the locus route unit 433 of the server 4. 5 may be displayed.

  It is determined whether or not there is a desired locus route 5 from at least one locus route 5 displayed and output on the output unit 32 in step S59 (step S510). In Step S510, if there is a desired locus route 5, navigation by the desired locus route 5 is started (Yes in Step S510), and if there is no desired locus route 5, the process returns to Step S58 to select a locus route condition. (No in step S510).

  Then, navigation is started by a desired locus route 5 or a route calculation route (step S511), and navigation with a unique course set as a navigation route is executed by the desired locus route 5, or a route calculation route. The navigation with the normal navigation course set as the route is executed. Then, the navigation is completed through the navigation course from start S to goal G (step S512).

  The start S and goal G here are buttons such as a start button and a goal button, which are automatically input by button input, and automatically when the current position matches the position of the start S or the position of the goal G. There are passive inputs such as start S and goal G.

  In step S512, the navigation is terminated, and if there is no other response (the above operations 1, 2, etc.) at the end point, the software is terminated (step S513).

  Note that navigation by the route calculation route may be performed before and after the execution of navigation by the locus route 5. In this case, cooperative navigation can be performed seamlessly and continuously by the route calculation route and the trajectory route 5, and the software is terminated after the cooperative navigation between the route calculation route and the trajectory route 5 ends. If the operation process is forcibly terminated during this process, the operation process is terminated at that time.

  As described above, these three operations 1 to 3 may be performed independently, or may be performed in combination by arbitrarily combining the three operations 1 to 3. A specific example in which all these three operations 1 to 3 are performed in conjunction with each other will be described below.

  As a specific example in which the operations 1 to 3 are all performed in conjunction with each other, a sightseeing spot walk will be described as an example with reference to FIGS. The navigation system 1 according to this embodiment is executed using the terminal device 3 and the server 4.

  First, the navigation system 1 (software) is activated, and the locus route 5 is selected in advance as a navigation route (steps S52 to S510 shown in FIG. 5). In the embodiment, a Kyoto station is selected from any of a genre item, a facility search item, a free keyword item, and a registered memory point item as a locus route condition. Then, when the Kyoto certain place is selected, one course stored in the trajectory route part 433 of the server 4 or the trajectory route part 374 of the terminal device 3 whose course is station 1 → island 1 → bridge 1 → temple 1 → station 2. The locus route 5 is displayed. If this trajectory route 5 is a desired route, this trajectory route 5 is selected, and if it is not the desired trajectory route 5, the trajectory route condition is changed again to search for the desired trajectory route 5. In the present embodiment, only one route is displayed. However, the locus route part 433 of the server 4 or the locus route part 433 of the server 4 and the locus of the terminal device 3 with respect to the locus route condition of Kyoto certain place. When a plurality of locus routes 5 are stored in the route unit 374, a plurality of locus routes 5 are displayed. If there is a desired trajectory route 5 from a plurality of trajectory routes 5, the desired trajectory route 5 is selected. If there is no desired trajectory route 5, the trajectory route condition is changed again to search for the desired trajectory route 5. .

  When the locus route 5 is selected and determined, navigation is started (step S511 shown in FIG. 5). When starting navigation, the current position is detected (or detected by GPS) (or center) (step S42 shown in FIG. 4). If the current position is detected, the start of recording is started at the start S position (station 1).

  If the position is detected as a result of detecting the current position in step S42 of FIG. 4, a log of the current position is taken. In this embodiment, a combination of every time (every 30 seconds) and every distance (every 30 m) is logged as a log detection setting.

  At this time, in this course, the station 1 → the island 1 → the bridge 1 → the temple 1 → the station 2 is assumed, but it is assumed that the user detours the temple 2 between the island 1 and the bridge 1. Then, the user owns the terminal device 3 and moves while logging, and uses the imaging unit 39 of the terminal device 3 at each spot (station 1, island 1, temple 1, bridge 1, temple 1, station 2). Various information (images (still images and moving images)) is obtained (step S31 in FIG. 3).

  Then, the navigation course is moved from the start (station 1) to the goal (station 2) and the navigation is terminated (step S512 in FIG. 5).

  When the navigation is finished, a new trajectory route 5 based on a plurality of displaced log trajectories is created (step S44 in FIG. 4), and the new trajectory route 5 is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 373 of the terminal device 3. The new trajectory route 5 here is a trajectory route 5 having a course of station 1 → island 1 → temple 2 → bridge 1 → temple 1 → station 2.

  After the tour of the sightseeing spot is completed, the software is activated, and editing for adding additional information (comments) to the image stored in the temporary storage unit 373 is performed on the software (steps S33 and S34 in FIG. 3). The image to which the comment is added is stored (recorded) in the spot portion 371 of the terminal device 3. Then, the edited information is registered in the software (step S35 in FIG. 3). After the image is recorded with a comment, the new locus route 5 is corrected (steps S44 to S47 in FIG. 4).

  After step S44 in FIG. 4, it is confirmed whether or not there is an unnecessary route based on the presence or absence of the overlapping route 51 whose positions overlap (step S45 in FIG. 4). In the present embodiment, there is an overlapping portion (the arrow portion shown in FIG. 7) in the link of island 1 → temple 2 and the link of temple 2 → bridge 1, but spot information (image) exists in temple 2. Therefore, the temple 2 with the spot information becomes a turning point. Therefore, it becomes an overlapping part of the link aiming at approaching the spot point, and this overlapping part (arrow part shown in FIG. 7) is not determined as an unnecessary path, and the overlapping path 51 (overlapping link) is left as it is. (No in step S45 in FIG. 4). Regarding the correction of the trajectory route 5, there are traces of stopping at various shops and the like on this route, but the traces of the stop are corrected by fine adjustment of the trajectory route 5 different from the unnecessary route (FIG. 7 and 8).

  Then, the new trajectory route 5 corrected for the route including fine adjustment is stored in both the trajectory route portion 374 of the terminal device 3 and the trajectory route portion 374 of the server 4, and the trajectory route 5 is softly stored. Registration is performed (step S47 in FIG. 4). At this time, there is a route passing through the locus route 5 where no road exists within the precincts of the temple 1. In this precinct, no road exists, but a new road 6 is formed on the map 7 along the locus route 5.

  When the new locus route 5 is registered in the terminal device 3 and the server 4 in step S47 in FIG. 4, the software is terminated (S36 in FIG. 3, step S48 in FIG. 4, and S513 in FIG. 5). If the operation process is forcibly terminated during this process, the operation process is terminated at that time.

  As described above, in the specific example, all of the operations 1 to 3 can be performed in conjunction.

  In the present embodiment, the new route route 5 is stored in the route route unit 374 of the terminal device 3 so that the new route route 5 is set using the terminal device 3 even when the communication device is offline. Navigation can be performed. Further, by storing the new trajectory route 5 in the trajectory route unit 374 of the server 4, navigation in which the new trajectory route 5 is set using the terminal device 3 in a state where it can communicate with the server 4 including other users. It can be carried out.

  In the present embodiment, the navigation system 1 has been described by taking a sightseeing spot as an example. However, the navigation system 1 is not limited to this, and the usage target of the navigation system 1 is an animal walking route shown in FIG. The running / cycling route shown in FIG. 10, the mountain climbing route shown in FIG. 11, or the jet ski / boat route shown in FIG. 12 may be used.

  The map 7 shown in FIG. 9 is intended for parks, the map 7 shown in FIG. 10 is intended for public roads, and the map 7 shown in FIG. 11 is intended for mountains. The map 7 shown in FIG. 12 is for the sea. Like the sightseeing spot walk shown in FIG. 8, a favorite route 5 can be displayed arbitrarily. Therefore, each of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 has the same configuration and operation effects as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. Thus, the present invention can set a unique course as a navigation route on an arbitrary map 7.

  As described above, according to the navigation system 1, the route creation method of the navigation system 1, and the program of the navigation system 1 according to the present embodiment, the locus route 5 created by the user (moving body holding the terminal device 3) It can be set as a navigation route (trajectory route 5). Therefore, it is possible to set a unique navigation route that cannot be set by a normal route calculation route and does not use route calculation as a main condition for route setting. For example, it is possible to set a unique route that cannot be set for a route that reaches a destination by performing route calculation under conditions such as the shortest distance or a short time. The route creation method of the navigation system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a creation step of creating the locus route 5 using the locus of the position information of the terminal device 3 accompanying the movement of the mobile object holding the terminal device 3; A storage step of storing the locus route 5 created by the creation units 383 and 442 as a navigation route. In addition, the program of the navigation system 1 according to the present embodiment uses at least a computer to use a locus of positional information of the terminal device 3 associated with the movement of the mobile body that holds the terminal device 3 in the navigation system 1. 5 is made to function as storage units 37 and 43 for storing the route 5 created by the creation units 383 and 442 and the locus route 5 created by the creation units 383 and 442 as navigation routes. In the present embodiment, a program for causing a computer to function as the navigation system 1 is installed, and each component of the computer here is composed of each component constituting the navigation system 1 as described above. .

  Further, since a new road is formed on the map 7 along the locus route 5, the frequency of updating the map 7 can be increased, and as a result, it is suitable for creating a detailed map 7.

  In addition, since the storage units 37 and 43 store a plurality of the trajectory routes 5, it is possible to obtain various unique navigation routes that cannot be experienced with a normal route calculation route. In other words, you can get multiple unique navigation routes.

  In particular, when a plurality of trajectory routes 5 are created using trajectories of position information for each terminal device 3 possessed individually by each user, the trajectory routes 5 created by various users can be set as navigation routes. it can. Thus, according to the present embodiment, navigation routes can be added, and the number of unique navigation route options can be increased. Note that in a normal navigation system, the number of navigation routes cannot be increased without changing the information on the map 7 and without changing the conditions of the route calculation route. The navigation system 1 according to this embodiment is different from the normal navigation system.

  The creation units 383 and 442 determine whether or not there is an unnecessary route based on the correction condition set in advance in the locus route 5, and when it is determined that there is an unnecessary route based on this determination, the unnecessary route is determined. Since the route correction for deleting is performed, unnecessary routes can be efficiently deleted in the navigation route creation.

  Further, the correction condition is whether or not there is an overlapping route in the locus of the position information of the terminal device 3. In the creation units 383 and 442, if there is an overlapping route in the locus route 5, the overlapping route is deleted. Since the route correction is performed, it is possible to delete an unnecessary route due to the movement such as turning back the route when the route is lost especially in the creation of the navigation route.

Further, the correction condition is whether or not there is an overlapping route 51 that overlaps in the locus of the position information of the terminal device 3, and the storage units 37 and 43 store the point information having the position information, and the creation unit 383 In 442, when the overlapping route 51 exists in the locus route 5 and the point information is located on or in the vicinity of the overlapping route 51, the point information on the overlapping route 51 to the end point (node) of the overlapping route 51 is obtained. since the its root correction not delete the path, if any spot information may that you do not delete the duplicate path 51 in consideration of the information.

  In addition, when creating a route for navigation, it is possible to delete unnecessary routes such as turning back when the route is lost. Furthermore, if there is spot information, it is possible to set a unique navigation route that cannot be enjoyed with a normal route calculation route in consideration of the information.

  In addition to the trajectory route 5, the storage units 37 and 43 store the route computation route created by performing the route computation based on the preset route computation route condition. In addition to the route, it is possible to set a normal route calculation route with the theme of arriving at a destination such as a normal shortest distance or a short time, and it is possible to set a route with high flexibility.

  In this embodiment, the mobile body is applied to the user. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mobile device moves such as a two-wheeled vehicle, a water bike, or a four-wheeled vehicle, and holds the terminal device. If it is a thing, the form will not ask | require.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the navigation system 1 is comprised with the some terminal device 3 and the server 4, it is not limited to this, It comprises with the one terminal device 3 and the server 4. Alternatively, it may be composed of a plurality of terminal devices 3, or may be composed of only one terminal device 3. That is, the navigation system 1 creates the trajectory route 5 using the trajectory of the position information of the terminal device 3 as the mobile object holding the terminal device 3 moves, and the creation units 383 and 442 create Storage units 37 and 43 that store the locus route 5 as navigation routes, the creation units 383 and 442 may be in either the server 4 or the terminal device 3. 43 may exist in any of the server 4 and the terminal device 3, and the form of the navigation system 1 is not limited. When the navigation system 1 is composed of at least a plurality of terminal devices 3, the trajectory route 5 can be directly transmitted and received between a plurality of terminals.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the one locus | trajectory route 5 is displayed on the map 7, the number is not limited and you may display the 2 or more locus | trajectory route 5 or more.

  In the present embodiment, the creation units 383 and 442 create a locus route and a route calculation route. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only the locus route may be created. In this case, the storage units 37 and 43 may not include the route calculation route condition units 376 and 435.

  In the present embodiment, there is a return point at the end of the overlapping link (overlapping route 51), and there is a spot at the return point. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If there is a spot in the middle of the overlapping path instead of the end point of the overlapping path as a turn-back point, the path from the spot to the end point of the overlapping path may be deleted.
