Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for receiving directions from a current location where a telephone call is being made to a destination location (equipped with a telephone) using a telephone. The present invention relates to a route guidance service system.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, when you don't know the directions to a destination (for example, Company B), you can (1) look up route 1@ on a map and make a note of it, or (li) call Company B and ask them for directions. (,
This method has the disadvantage of being time-consuming. Especially if you are going to a place that is unfamiliar to you for the first time, if you get lost on the way, you will not know exactly where you are, and you may need to call Company B etc. to make arrangements. The disadvantage was that it was inconvenient to be unable to accurately explain one's current location.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Therefore, in the present invention, when going to a geographically unfamiliar place, it is possible to easily find the route to the place without much effort.
Another problem that needs to be solved is to make it easy to find out where you are even if you get lost and don't know where you are. Therefore, the aim of the ``Misfire EJA'' is to provide a telephone-based route guidance service system that enables the above-mentioned functions.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] In the present invention, the current location of a makeshift person who is trying to arrange a route by talking α is determined based on the telephone number of the telephone from which the makeshift person made the call, and the destination position is determined by Using the phone number database of the phone number of the phone installed in your home, office, etc., find the address where the phone is installed, and then use the map database to find the address between the current location and the destination location. Its most important feature is that it knows map information and provides directions to those who make it.

〔Example〕

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The figure is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of the "Unexploded".

In the figure, 1 is a telephone, 2 is a display device, 3 is a telephone, 4 is a public communication network, 5 is a register circuit, 6 is a control device,
7 is a database, 8 is an automatic guide device, 9 is a reception desk device, 10 is an input section, 11 is a display section, 12 is a database, and 13 is a manual guide device.

The display device 2 is composed of a CRT, a FAX, or the like, and has a function of displaying a guide map that is also transmitted to the automatic guide device 8 or the manual guide device 15.

The automatic guide device 8 is composed of a register circuit 5, a control device 6, and a database 7. The register circuit 5 is connected to the telephone 1.
Automatically answers the incoming call, and the makeshift person A calls! PB (push button dial) input from B, 1 via public communication network 4
It has a function of receiving signals, or a function of voice recognition and reception of the numbers uttered by makeshift person A.

Database 7.12 stores information showing the correspondence between telephone numbers, addresses where telephones with the telephone numbers are installed, names of people using the telephones, and map information including the area of the addresses. has been done. The control device I', i 6 receives (,/(the telephone number DNA of the telephone 1 at the current location, and the telephone number DNB of the telephone B at the destination location) in the register circuit 5.
It has the function of searching a database based on the above information to find the biographical places corresponding to the two telephone numbers, and outputting a guide map showing the positions of the two addresses to the display device 2 on the telephone 1 side.

- 10,000, manual guide device 13, reception control device 9, input section 1
0, a display section 11, and a database 12, the reception control device 9 has the function of responding to an incoming call from the telephone 1 via the public communication network 4 by operator operation, and the function of responding to an incoming call from the telephone 1 via the public communication network 4, and Search the database 12 based on the telephone number DNA of the telephone 1 at the current location and the telephone number DNB of the telephone B at the destination location provided by the elderly person, search the database 12 to find the address corresponding to both telephone numbers, and locate the address. It has a function of outputting a guide map clearly indicating the information to the display unit 11 or the display device 2.

Note that the same applies even if only one of the automatic guide device 8 and the manual guide device 13 is installed, or if a plurality of devices are installed. Also, database 7.12
The same applies even if the automatic guiding device 8 and the manual guiding device 13 share the same function, or even if the device ff1U (stands for ff1U) is used in common. The same applies to filling machines and public telephones.

Because of this structure, the current location of makeshift person A can be determined from the phone number DNA of phone 1 that makeshift person A made a call to, and the phone number DNB of phone B of destination company B, etc. , - The destination position can be accurately displayed on the map.

As a result, the route from the current location to the destination location,
You can find out exactly and easily by using the telephone.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the current location and the destination location can be accurately displayed on the map based on the telephone number of the matchmaker's current location and the telephone number of the destination location. There is an advantage when it is possible to accurately and easily guide the route from the current location to the destination location to a makeshift person.
