Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily input the coordinate data of attribute information and to facilitate the work of developing and maintaining a map information data base by directly touch panel-inputting the coordinate of an objective map attribute from a map display screen. CONSTITUTION:A console display 12 starts a menu list means 1 so as to retrieve the map information data base 11, which is displayed in the console display 12 as a menu list. The console display 12 starts a map retrieving means 2 so as to designate a block number, an attribute segment, an attribute name, the coordinate or the like to which coordinate data is inputted among the displayed menu list, designates the corresponding map and display them in a map retrieving device 13. An operator designates the objective attribute name or the like by item numbers or the like from a display terminal in the map retrieving device 13, and then inputs the coordinates of the objective attribute name or the like by the designation of a touch panel.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for inputting coordinate data of map information (image), and in particular to a method for inputting coordinate data of map information (image), and in particular, the present invention relates to a method for inputting coordinate data of map information (image). This relates to a coordinate data input method.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of map coordinate data input has been carried out by placing a transparent mesh board on a map base paper (urban planning map, housing map, police map, etc.), reading the coordinates (x, y) by visual measurement, and inputting this by coding. Alternatively, the seat ring was input using an electrical method such as a digitizer.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional map coordinate data input requires the preparation of tools such as a mesh board and digitizer, and the preparation of a work place, as well as proficiency in the input work. Since there is no direct correspondence with the original, errors occur due to the synergy between input coordinate accuracy and display coordinate accuracy.

[Means for solving problems]

The coordinate data input method of the present invention includes a menu list means for displaying a list of maps readable from a database storing map information data in advance and specifying at least one map from among the lists; and a menu list means for specifying at least one map from among the lists. a map search means for searching and displaying the map displayed by the map search means; and inputting at least one coordinate for at least one attribute from the map displayed by the map search means through the map using a touch panel and storing it in the database. and coordinate data input means.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a general data structure diagram of a map information database, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of an embodiment of the present invention. .

One embodiment of the present invention includes a map information database 11, a console display 12, a map search device 13, and an optical disk 14.
and the console display 12 are connected by the operation of the menu list means 1, and the map search device 13 is connected by the operations of the map search means 2 and the coordinate data input means 3.

A map divided into predetermined programs is input to the map search device 13 using an image scanner or the like, and is recorded on the optical disc 14 as image information. In addition, attribute information is registered in the map information database 11 by attribute classification (for example, classifications such as town name, object base, intersection point name, etc. are generally indicated by numbers or symbols) for each block corresponding to the block division of the map. has been done.

In addition, in the map information database shown in Figure 2, the block number indicates the number of the city block, etc., and the attribute classifications include town name, object base (steel tower, monument, etc.), intersection point name, building base, etc.
Bridge names are expressed by numbers or symbols. Attribute names include ○○ town, ○O tower, ○O intersection, OO
The names of buildings, ○○ bridges, etc. are displayed, and the coordinates indicate where each attribute name is located in a predetermined mesh, and for large attribute names, the representative point or the straight line surrounding it is shown. The position of the intersection is shown. Furthermore, attributes such as shopping district, residential area, steel frame construction, reinforced concrete construction, and wooden construction are displayed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, the operator starts the menu list means 1 from the console display 12, and then specifies at least one item among the block number, attribute classification, attribute name, etc. shown in FIG. (Step ■). The map information database 11 is searched and edited according to the items specified in step ■.The results are displayed as a menu list on the console display 12 (step ■).
.

Next, from the console display 12, the map search means 2
, and specify the block number, attribute category, attribute name, coordinates or attribute, etc. for which you want to input (or delete) coordinate data from the displayed menu list, and also specify the corresponding map. Do (step ■). The map information database 11 is searched according to the items specified in step (2), and the map of the corresponding block is searched and retrieved from the image file on the optical disk 14 according to the specified map number (step (2)), and displayed on the display of the map search device 13. indicate.

Furthermore, the operator specifies the desired attribute name etc. by item number etc. from the display terminal of the map search device 13,
Next, coordinates such as a target attribute name are input by specifying the touch panel of the map search device 13 (step ■). After such a state, the input coordinate data consisting of points, area outlines, etc. is stored in the map information database 11. It is registered as the corresponding attribute information (step ■).

Furthermore, even if the above operations are completed, if there is unregistered information in that block, the process returns to step ■ and is repeated one after another until the registration is completed, and the registration of information in this block is completed. Step ■).

Next, if there is unregistered information for another block, the process returns to step (2) and continues until the registration of information for all blocks is completed (step [phase]).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows the coordinate data of attribute information to be easily inputted by directly inputting the coordinates of the target map attribute from the map display screen through a touch panel, thereby facilitating the development and development of a map information database. This has the effect of significantly improving maintenance work.
