Various processes performed by the map information display system 100 structured as described above will be described below. On the other hand, various processes described below assume that smart watch 1 and smart phone 2 are in a state where data communication is possible with each other.

(Map information display processing)

First, map information display processing performed by the map information display system 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8 . 4 is a flowchart showing an example of map information display processing according to the present embodiment. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when a user browses map information. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when enlarging or reducing map information. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when an icon is added to map information. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when various setting changes are made.

Map information display processing is performed when a predetermined operation is performed by the operation input unit 102 of the smart watch 1 at an arbitrary timing when the user intends to browse map information.

First, as shown in FIG. 4 , CPU 101 of smart watch 1 requests map information and current location information from smartphone 2 via communication unit 106 (step S101).

Next, the CPU 201 of the smartphone 2 acquires current location information indicating the current location of the user by the satellite wave receiving module 208, acquires map information from an external server via the communication network by the communication unit 206, and In step 206, map information and current location information are transmitted to smart watch 1 (step S102). The map information acquired here is based on the acquired current location information, and is map information within a predetermined distance range centering on the current location indicated by the current location information.

Next, CPU 101 of smart watch 1 acquires map information and current location information via communication unit 106 (step S103).

Next, the CPU 101 causes the display unit 104 to display the acquired map information and current location information (step S104). Here, with reference to FIG. 5, map information displayed on the display unit 104 will be described.

On the display unit 104, for example, a screen G5a shown in FIG. 5(a) is displayed. On the screen G5a, a map within a predetermined distance is displayed centered on the current location pin P51 indicating the user's current location, and in addition, a current location button P52, a zoom button P53, a memo type button P54, and a function drawer P55 and the like are indicated. The location of the current location pin P51 on the map information is determined based on the current location information obtained in step S103.

When the display unit 104 is swiped by the user while the screen G5a is displayed, the CPU 101 scrolls map information according to the swiped direction, and displays map information around the current location pin P51, eg For example, the screen G5b shown in FIG. 5(b) is displayed on the display unit 104. Further, when the current location button P52 is tapped by the user while the screen G5b is displayed, the CPU 101 displays the screen G5a centered on the current location pin P51 on the display unit 104 again.

Further, while the screen G5a is displayed, when the user taps the zoom button P53 of the screen G5a or presses the push button switch 102a, the CPU 101 converts the zoom button P53 to the enlargement button P61 and the memo type button P54 to the reduction button P62. The screen G6a changed to is displayed on the display unit 104 (see FIG. 6(a)). When the user taps the enlargement button P61, presses the push button switch 102a, or performs a pinch-out operation on the display unit 104 while the screen G6a is displayed, the CPU 101 enlarges the map on the screen G6a at a predetermined magnification. The displayed screen G6b is displayed on the display unit 104 (see (b) of FIG. 6). Similarly, while the screen G6a is displayed, if the user taps the reduction button P62, presses the push button switch 102c, or performs a pinch-in operation on the display unit 104, the CPU 101 displays a map of the screen G6a. A screen G6c reduced by a predetermined magnification is displayed on the display unit 104 (see FIG. 6(c)). On the other hand, even when the map information enlarged or reduced is displayed, if the user swipes the display unit 104, map information around the current location pin P51 is displayed according to the swiped direction. Also, after the user swipes the display unit 104, the map information may be enlarged or reduced.

Further, when the memo type button P54 is tapped by the user or the push button switch 102c is pressed while the screen G5a is displayed, the CPU 101 changes the zoom button P53 to the mark button P71 and the memo type button P54 to the memo button P72. The screen G7a is displayed on the display unit 104 (see Fig. 7(a)). When the user taps the mark button P71 or presses the push button switch 102a while the screen G7a is displayed, the CPU 101 displays a list display screen G7b described later on the display unit 104 (see Fig. 7(b)). Further, when the user taps the memo button P72 or presses the push button switch 102c while the screen G7a is displayed, the CPU 101 displays the later-described audio standby screen G7c on the display unit 104 (see (c) in FIG. 7). ).

Further, when the user taps the function drawer P55 or swipe upward from the bottom of the display unit 104 while the screen G5a is displayed, the CPU 101 displays the function drawer screen G8 shown in FIG. 8 on the display unit 104 . On the function drawer screen G8, a "▲" button P81, a "Voice memo" button P82, a "Mark" button P83, a "History" button P84, and a "Settings" button P85 are displayed. When the "Voice memo" button P82 is tapped by the user, the CPU 101 displays the voice standby screen G7c shown in Fig. 7(c) on the display unit 104. Further, when the "Mark" button P83 is tapped by the user, the CPU 101 displays the list display screen G7b shown in FIG. 7B on the display unit 104 . Further, when the "History" button P84 is tapped by the user, the screen G15 shown in Fig. 15 described later is displayed on the display unit 104. Further, when the user taps the "Settings" button P85, the CPU 101 displays a screen (not shown) on the display unit 104 for performing various setting changes. Further, when the "▲" button P81 is tapped by the user or any one of the pushbutton switches 102a to 102c is pressed, the CPU 101 ends screen display of the function drawer screen G8, and displays screen G5a on the display unit 104, for example. display On the other hand, even if no user operation is input for a predetermined period of time while the function drawer screen G8 is displayed, the screen display of the function drawer screen G8 may be terminated.

Further, in a state where the screens G5a, G5b, G6a to G6c, etc. are displayed on the display unit 104, and no operation by the user is input for a predetermined period of time, the CPU 101, from the display unit 104, displays the current position button P52, zoom button P53, The memo type button P54, function drawer P55, enlargement button P61, and reduction button P62 may be made to disappear. On the other hand, these various buttons P52 to P55, P61 and P62 may be made to disappear simultaneously or may be made to disappear sequentially according to the elapsed time. In addition, it is also possible to change the various buttons P52 to P55, P61, and P62 to an inconspicuous expression by making them pale or the like without disappearing them.

Next, as shown in Fig. 4, the CPU 101 determines whether or not an icon adding operation has been performed by the user (step S105). Specifically, for example, while the screens G5a and G5b shown in FIG. 5 are displayed, the memo type button P54 is tapped by the user (or the push button switch 102c is pressed), and then the mark button P71 is tapped ( or the push button switch 102a is pressed), the CPU 101 determines that an icon adding operation has been performed. Further, for example, when the user taps the &quot;Mark&quot; button P83 in a state where the function drawer screen G8 shown in Fig. 8 is displayed, the CPU 101 determines that an icon addition operation has been performed.

If it is determined that the icon addition operation has been performed (step S105; YES), the CPU 101 performs icon addition processing for adding the selected icon onto the displayed map information (step S106). Details of the icon addition processing will be described later.

If it is determined that no icon addition operation has been performed (step S105; NO), the CPU 101 omits the icon addition process of step S106 and performs the process of step S107.

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not to end the display of map information based on the user's operation (step S107). Specifically, for example, when the push button switch 102b is pressed by the user while the screens G5a, G5b, etc. shown in Fig. 5 are displayed, the CPU 101 determines that display of map information is ended.

If it is determined that the display of map information is not ended (step S107; No), the CPU 101 performs the processing of step S101. That is, CPU 101 requests and acquires current location information and map information from smartphone 2 again. Accordingly, when the user moves, the current location pin P51 on the display unit 104 also moves to a position corresponding to the current location, and the map information is automatically scrolled and displayed again so that the current location pin P51 is positioned at the center of the display unit 104. . In addition, in the process of step S106, icons may be further added to the map information after adding the icon to the map information once. In this case, an icon may be added to the same point on the map information, or an icon may be added to another point on the map information.

If it is determined that the display of the map information is to end (step S107; YES), the CPU 101 ends the map information display process.

(Icon addition processing)

Next, icon addition processing performed by the map information display system 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 . 9 is a flowchart showing an example of icon addition processing according to the present embodiment. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an icon selectable by a user. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when storing memo information.

As shown in Fig. 9, CPU 101 of smart watch 1 first presents a plurality of icons by displaying, for example, the list display screen G7b shown in Fig. 7(b) on the display unit 104 (step S201).

As shown in (b) of FIG. 7, on the list display screen G7b, among a plurality of different icons arranged in the vertical direction, an icon surrounded by a frame-shaped cursor and an icon arranged adjacent to the corresponding icon are displayed. When displayed on the display unit 104, the corresponding cursor is arranged so as to surround the icon placed at the top. In the example shown in (b) of Fig. 7, it is assumed that a specific icon A1 described later is arranged at the top, but the CPU 101 displays the icon selected immediately by the user on the display unit 104 so that it is arranged at the top. . When the icon confirmation button P73 is tapped by the user or the push button switch 102a is pressed while the list display screen G7b is displayed, the CPU 101 selects an icon surrounded by the cursor and adds the icon on the map information. Further, in the state where the list display screen G7b is displayed, when the user taps the skip button P74 or presses the push button switch 102c, the CPU 101 moves the cursor to a position that encloses the icon one below, and displays the icon and the corresponding icon. An icon adjacent to the icon is displayed on the display unit 104. An example of an icon selectable by the user is shown in FIG. 10 . As shown in Fig. 10, these icons are all reminiscent of certain predetermined information and are different from each other. These icons are stored in the storage unit 105, and the user can select an icon suitable for the situation at that time by operating the smart watch 1.

Here, in the process of step S201, it is not necessary to present all the icons stored in the storage unit 105 by displaying them on the display unit 104, but it is also possible to present only the icons extracted by the CPU 101 by displaying them on the display unit 104. For example, the CPU 101 may extract one or more icons based on the current location information acquired from the smartphone 2 in the process of step S103 in the map information display process.

Specifically, the CPU 101 may extract an icon corresponding to the current position indicated by the acquired current position information. For example, when the current location is near a river, lake, sea, etc., a plurality of icons including icon A7 reminiscent of "fish" and icon A10 reminiscent of "boat" shown in FIG. 10 are extracted. You can do it by doing it. In addition, when the current position is a high altitude point such as a mountain, a plurality of icons including the icon A8 reminiscent of "mountain" and the icon A9 reminiscent of "animal" shown in FIG. 10 may be extracted. good night. In addition to this, the CPU 101 acquires not only the current location information, but also various information such as, for example, history of the current location, moving distance, moving speed, date and time, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, user's heart rate or changes thereof, Based on these, the user's behavior may be analyzed, and an icon suitable for the situation may be extracted. In this case, the smart watch 1 may include a sensor or the like that detects various types of information, or the CPU 101 may acquire various types of information from the outside of the smartphone 2 or the like.

Next, as shown in Fig. 9, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the icon is selected (step S202). Specifically, when the icon selection button P73 is tapped by the user (or the pushbutton switch 102a is pressed) while the list display screen G7b is displayed, the CPU 101 determines that the icon has been selected. Further, in the state where the list display screen G7b is displayed, when no operation by the user is input for a predetermined period of time or when the push button switch 102b is pressed, the CPU 101 determines that no icon is selected.

If it is determined that no icon is selected (step S202; No), the CPU 101 skips the processing of steps S203 to S207 described later and ends the icon adding process.

If it is determined that the icon has been selected (step S202; YES), the CPU 101 determines whether or not the selected icon is a specific icon (step S203). That is, CPU 101 determines whether or not the selected icon is icon A1.

If it is determined that the selected icon is not the specific icon A1 (step S203; No), the CPU 101 skips the processing of steps S204 and S205 described later, and performs the processing of step S206 described later.

If it is determined that the selected icon is the specific icon A1 (step S203; Yes), the CPU 101 determines whether or not memo information has been input as information corresponding to the icon (step S204).

Here, if the selected icon is a specific icon A1, the CPU 101 displays a confirmation screen for notifying the user of predetermined information when a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, a screen displaying "Notification comes when approaching this point." G11a is displayed on the display unit 104 (see Fig. 11(a)). In this way, the specific icon A1 is added to the map information, and has a function of notifying the user of predetermined information when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

While the screen G11a is displayed, when the user taps the “Leave a memo” button P111 or presses the push button switch 102c, the CPU 101 displays the voice standby screen G7c shown in FIG. 7(c) on the display unit 104 is displayed, and when voice is input by the user, it is determined that memo information is input. Specifically, when the user makes a sound toward the smart watch 1 while the voice standby screen G7c is displayed, the voice is input through the microphone of the operation input unit 102. When the "OK" button P112 is tapped by the user while the screen G11a is displayed, the push button switch 102a or 102b is pressed, or no operation by the user is input for a predetermined period of time, the CPU 101 inputs memo information. decide not to

If it is determined that memo information has been input (step S204; YES), the CPU 101 converts the input voice into a character string, stores the character string as memo information in the storage unit 105, and acquires and stores emotion information from the input voice. It is stored in unit 105 (step S205). As a method for obtaining emotion information, a conventionally known technique can be employed, whereby the CPU 101 analyzes the voice input by the user and acquires emotion information representing the emotion of the user. In this embodiment, the emotion information indicates that the emotion of the user inputting the voice is in any one of "pain/angry", "anxiety", "stable", and "joy".

On the other hand, the CPU 101 may store the input voice in the storage unit 105 as memo information together with or instead of the converted character string. In addition, when the input voice is stored as memo information instead of the character string, the voice is output instead of displaying the character string in various processes described later.

If it is determined that no memo information is input (step S204; No), the CPU 101 omits the process of step S205 and performs the process of step S206 described later.

Next, the CPU 101 stores the selected icon in the storage unit 105 in association with the designated point information indicating the designated point, with the current position as the designated point (step S206). At this time, the CPU 101 measures the current time by the timekeeping unit 107 to obtain time information, and stores the time information in the storage unit 105 together with the selected icon.

Next, after the CPU 101 stores the various types of information described above in the storage unit 105, the screen to which the selected icon is added to the current location (specified point) on the map information, for example, shown in FIG. 11(b) The screen G1lb is displayed on the display unit 104 (step S207). Here, when the selected icon is a specific icon A1 and memo information corresponding to the specific icon A1 is input, emotion information is stored in the storage unit 105 together with the memo information. Accordingly, the CPU 101 changes the color tone of the specific icon A1 based on the emotion information stored in the storage unit 105 and displays it on the display unit 104. More specifically, the CPU 101 sets the color tone of the specific icon A1, for example, in red when the emotional information indicates "distress/angry", blue when indicating "anxiety", and when indicating "stable". In the case of green and "joy", it is displayed by changing to yellow.

Further, when the user taps a specific icon A1 while the screen G1lb is displayed, and memo information corresponding to the specific icon A1 is stored, the CPU 101 displays a character string as the memo information on the display unit 104. display In this case, as will be described later, the CPU 101 may change the display mode of the character string based on the emotion information stored together with the memo information and then display it on the display unit 104.

Icon addition processing is performed as described above.

On the other hand, in the above icon addition process, it is assumed that the icon selected by the user is added from among a plurality of icons listed on the list display screen G7b, but it is not limited to this. That is, while the screen G7a shown in FIG. 7(a) is displayed, the memo button P72 is tapped (or the push button switch 102c is pressed) by the user, and the voice standby screen G7c shown in FIG. 7(c) is displayed. is displayed and an icon may be added by the user inputting a sound. Specifically, the CPU 101 stores the voice input through the microphone in the storage unit 105 in a state where the voice standby screen G7c is displayed, in association with the current location information. At the same time, the CPU 101 analyzes the input voice to obtain emotion information, and stores the obtained emotion information together with the voice in the storage unit 105 . After storing the voice and emotion information in the storage unit 105, the CPU 101 adds an icon A11 indicating that voice was input at that point to the current position on the map information after changing the color tone based on the emotion information; For example, the screen G7d shown in (d) of FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 104 . When the user taps the icon A11 on the screen G7d, the CPU 101 causes the output unit 109 to reproduce the inputted voice. On the other hand, the CPU 101 may convert the input voice into a character string and store the character string in the storage unit 105 together with or instead of the voice. In that case, when the user taps the icon A11 on the screen G7d, the CPU 101 may change the display mode of the character string based on the emotion information and display it on the display unit 104, as will be described later. .

In the above icon addition processing, the icon is added using the current location indicated by the current location information as the designation point, but the icon may be added using the location selected by the user on the map information as the designation point. In this case, for example, by displaying map information around the current position on the display unit 104 as shown in screen G5b shown in FIG. , an icon may be added to the center of the display unit 104 .

(notification processing)

Next, notification processing performed by the map information display system 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14 . 12 is a flowchart showing an example of notification processing according to the present embodiment. Fig. 13 is a diagram explaining conditions for notifying a user of predetermined information. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when there is a notification of predetermined information.

Notification processing continues as long as the power supply of the satellite electric wave receiving module 208 of the smartphone 2 is turned ON. In addition, notification processing is performed only when the specific icon A1 is added on the map information in the above icon addition processing, and is not performed when the specific icon A1 is not added on the map information. When a plurality of specific icons A1 are added on the map information, each is performed.

As shown in Fig. 12, first, the CPU 101 of smart watch 1 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the time when the specific icon A1 was added (step S301). Specifically, the CPU 101 determines whether, for example, one day or more has elapsed since the time indicated by the time information, based on the time information stored together with the icon in the storage unit 105 . In this way, it is possible to prevent notification of predetermined information, such as when little time has elapsed since the user added the icon to the specified point, and suppress frequent notification of information to the user to improve convenience. can

If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S301; No), the CPU 101 performs the process of step S301 again. If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S301; Yes), the CPU 101 requests current location information from the smartphone 2 via the communication unit 106 (step S302).

Next, CPU 201 of smartphone 2 acquires current location information indicating the current location of the user by satellite wave receiving module 208, and transmits the current location information to smart watch 1 by communication unit 206 (step S303).

Next, the CPU 101 of the smart watch 1 obtains the current location information via the communication unit 106 (step S304).

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the current position indicated by the current position information obtained in the process of step S304 exists within a predetermined distance range from the designated point to which the specific icon A1 is added (step S305). Specifically, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the current location indicated by the acquired current location information exists within a broken line area L within a radius of 5 km from the designated point P131 to which the specific icon A1 is added, as shown in FIG. 13 for example. judge In this way, predetermined information can be notified only when the user approaches the designated point to which the specific icon A1 is added, and convenience can be improved by suppressing frequent notification of information to the user. Further, when emotion information corresponding to the specific icon A1 is stored in the storage unit 105, the CPU 101 changes the range of the distance to be determined based on the emotion information. For example, if the emotion information indicates "stable", it is determined whether or not the current location exists within a radius of 5 km from the designated point as described above, and if the emotion information indicates "joy", the current location is specified. It is assumed that it is determined whether or not it exists within a radius of 10 km from the point, and when the emotion information indicates "distress/angry" or "anxiety", it is determined whether or not the current position exists within a radius of 3 km from the designated point.

As shown in Fig. 12, if it is determined that the point does not exist within the predetermined distance range from the specified point (step S305; No), the CPU 101 performs the process of step S302 again.

If it is determined that it exists within a predetermined distance range from the designated point (step S305; Yes), the CPU 101 determines the presence or absence of memo information corresponding to the specific icon A1 added to the designated point (step S306).

If it is determined that there is memo information (step S306; YES), the CPU 101 acquires the memo information and corresponding emotion information from the storage unit 105 (step S307). On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no memo information (step S306; No), the CPU 101 omits the process of step S307.

Next, CPU 101 of smart watch 1 informs the user of predetermined information corresponding to the icon (step S308). Specifically, the CPU 101 notifies the user that the specified point has been approached by displaying a specific icon A1 on the display unit 104, and also informs the user of this when the memo information has been obtained in the process of step S307. In addition, when emotion information is obtained in the process of step S307, the color tone of the specific icon A1 and the display mode of the memo information are changed based on the obtained emotion information, and then these are displayed on the display unit 104 to notify. Specifically, the CPU 101 displays the screen G14a shown in FIG. 14(a) on the display unit 104, for example. In the memo information display area P141 of the screen G14a, a specific icon A1 is displayed in a color tone based on the emotion information acquired in the process of step S307, and at the same time, the memo information of "Tenseiro is outstanding" acquired in the process of step S307. A is displayed in a display mode based on the emotion information obtained in the process of step S307. That is, the CPU 101 changes the color tone of the specific icon A1 and the display mode of the memo information based on the emotion information obtained in the process of step S307 and then displays it on the screen G14a shown in FIG. 14(a). , an example of a case where emotion information indicates “stable” is shown. For example, the CPU 101 displays the screen G14c shown in FIG. 14(c) on the display unit 104 when the emotion information indicates &quot;joy&quot;. Further, even when the emotion information indicates "suffering/angry" or "anxiety", a screen (not shown) in which the color tone of the specific icon A1 and the display mode of the memo information are changed according to the emotion information is displayed.

Here, in the present invention, “information” refers to an aspect different from the display of map information, icons, and designated points on the display unit 104, and a higher notification effect than the display of map information, icons, and designated points on the display unit 104. , which informs the user of certain information and at the same time makes the user aware of it. Also, &quot;a notification effect is high&quot; means that the user can more easily notice the existence of predetermined information corresponding to the icon. As a notification in the present invention, for example, a specific icon A1 is displayed on the display unit 104, a screen G14a or screen G14c shown in Fig. 14 is displayed on the display unit 104, or a specific icon A1 is highlighted on the display unit 104. Examples include displaying, outputting sound or vibration through the output unit 109, or combining these. In addition, it is also possible to change the notification method based on the acquired emotion information. For example, different vibrations are output to the output unit 109 according to the emotion information, or the emotion information is "stable" or "joy". In the case of indicating, it is possible to reproduce a positive melody by the output unit 109.

Therefore, an aspect in which the map information displayed on the display unit 104 is sequentially scrolled when the user moves and approaches a specified point, and as a result, the icon itself added on the map information is displayed on the display unit 104 is not included. That is, the notification in the present invention has a higher notification effect of making the user aware of this than the icon itself appearing on the display unit 104 as a result of the user moving and approaching the specified point. .

Further, when the user taps somewhere on the display unit 104 while the screen G14a or the screen G14c is being displayed, the CPU 101 displays, for example, the screen G14b shown in FIG. 14(b) on the display unit 104. On the screen G14b, a "view on map" button P142 and a "navigate here" button P143 are displayed.

Next, as shown in Fig. 12, the CPU 101 determines whether navigation is to be executed or not (step S309). Specifically, when the user taps the “Navigate here” button P143 while the screen G14b shown in FIG. .

If it is determined that navigation is to be executed (step S309; YES), the CPU 101 executes navigation (step S310). Specifically, the CPU 101 displays a route guide from the current location to a specified point on the display unit 104 based on the current location information and map information, outputs voice guidance through the output unit 109, and the like. navigation in a way After the navigation is executed, the CPU 101 performs the process of step S301 again.

On the other hand, if it is determined that navigation is not to be executed (step S309; No), the CPU 101 determines whether or not to display map information (step S311). Specifically, in the state where the screen G14b shown in FIG. 14(b) is displayed on the display unit 104, when the user taps the "view on map" button P142, the CPU 101 determines that map information is displayed. do.

If it is determined that the map information is to be displayed (step S311; Yes), the CPU 101 displays the map information on the display unit 104 (step S312). Specifically, the CPU 101 switches the screen G14b as shown in steps S101 to S104 of the map information display process shown in FIG. 4, and specifies map information in an area approximately equal to the area L shown in the broken line shown in FIG. It is displayed on the display unit 104 together with the icon A1. In this way, the CPU 101 displays map information in which a specific icon A1 is overlapped at a designated point. After displaying the map information, the CPU 101 performs the process of step S301 again.

If it is determined not to display the map information (step S311; No), the CPU 101 skips the process of step S312 and performs the process of step S301 again.

Notification processing is performed as described above, and whenever a predetermined condition is satisfied, the CPU 101 repeatedly notifies the user of predetermined information.

On the other hand, in the notification processing described above, it is assumed that predetermined information is repeatedly notified to the user whenever a predetermined condition is satisfied, but it is not limited to this. For example, information related to a specific icon A1 stored in the storage unit 105 is deleted by a user's operation, settings are changed so that notification is not made even if a predetermined condition is satisfied by a user's operation, or notification is processed by a user's operation. When the application that performs is terminated or the like, the notification processing may be terminated. Further, for example, after notifying the user of the predetermined information, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous notifying of the predetermined information, and if it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, step S301 is performed again. can be made as

In addition, in the processing of step S301, it was determined whether or not one day or more had elapsed, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined whether or not 2 hours or more, 6 hours or more, 1 week or more, or 1 month or more have elapsed. In addition, if it is determined that the specific icon A1 has moved a predetermined distance from the designated point to which the specific icon A1 has been added, and it is determined that the current position has moved by a predetermined distance or more, it is judged "Yes" in step S301 to move to S302. It may be made with the same structure as the permission. In addition, when it is determined that the set predetermined condition (within a radius of 5 km from the designated point) has changed from being satisfied to not being satisfied, notification of predetermined information about the icon A1 to the user is permitted. That is, it is determined whether or not notification permission conditions for permitting notification of predetermined information to the user are satisfied, and when it is determined that the notification permission conditions are satisfied, notification of the predetermined information about the icon A1 to the user is permitted. On the other hand, it goes without saying that a configuration may be adopted in which notification of predetermined information related to the icon A1 to the user is permitted based on conditions other than the notification permission conditions as described above. Further, in the process of step S305, it is determined whether or not the current position exists within a radius of 5 km from the designated point to which the specific icon A1 is added, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined whether or not the current position exists within a radius of 1 km, within a radius of 10 km, or within a radius of 50 km.

In the case where a plurality of specific icons A1 are added on the map information, conditions determined in steps S301 and S305 may be different for each specific icon A1. Moreover, as will be described later, you may make them changeable based on a user's operation.

Further, in the notification processing, the CPU 101 changes the threshold value of the distance determined in the processing in step S305 based on the emotion information corresponding to the icon, but it is not limited to this. For example, in addition to or instead of this, the CPU 101 may change the threshold of time determined in the process of step S301 based on the emotion information corresponding to the icon.

(other actions)

In addition to the above, the operation of the map information display system 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 18. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when a user checks the history of icons added in the past. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the history of icons added on a predetermined date. Fig. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 104 when the usable capacity of the storage unit is insufficient. 18 is a graph showing an example of the change over time of the usable capacity of the storage unit.

Smart watch 1 has a function of displaying a history of icons added on map information in the past by the user.

For example, when the user taps the “History” button P84 while the function drawer screen G8 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 104 of smart watch 1, the CPU 101 displays the screen G15 shown in FIG. 15. displayed on the display unit 104. Screen G15 is a screen listing the dates on which icons were added on map information by the user in the past. On the screen G15, dates to which icons are added are arranged in an up-down direction, and those closest to the current date are arranged at the top. The CPU 101 scrolls the screen G15 based on the operation by the user and displays another date on the display unit 104 . If any of the plurality of dates displayed on the display unit 104, for example, "2017-5-30 Tue" is tapped by the user, the CPU 101 displays an icon added by the user on May 30, 2017 as an example. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a list is displayed on the display unit 104. On the display unit 104, a "view on map" button P161 is displayed below the date of "2017-5-30 Tue". In addition, below the "View on map" button P161, along with all the icons added on May 30, 2017, the time when the icon was added, and the memo information corresponding to the icon, if there is memo information is displayed. In this way, the user can review the icons he or she has added in the past, and can utilize them efficiently. When the "view on map" button P161 is tapped by the user, the CPU 101 displays map information indicating each designated point to which an icon was added on May 30, 2017 on the display unit 104 . In the case where icons are added over a wide area, the map information may be displayed at a scale such that all of them fit within the display unit 104, or the map information may be displayed at a scale such that some of them fit within the display unit 104. . Further, when any of the listed icons is tapped by the user, the CPU 101 displays map information indicating the specified point to which the icon is added, executes navigation to the specified point, and displays the icon and information related thereto. A screen for selecting deletion or the like of is displayed on the display unit 104. Further, in the state in which the screen shown in Fig. 16 is displayed, when "2017-5-30 Tue" is tapped by the user or the push button switch 102b is pressed, the CPU 101 lists dates to which icons were added in the past. The displayed screen G15 is displayed on the display unit 104 again.

In addition, the smart watch 1 has a function of notifying the user when the storage capacity of the storage unit 105 is insufficient by storing icons, designated point information, time information, memo information, and the like in the storage unit 105 .

For example, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the usable capacity of the storage in the storage unit 105 is equal to or less than a threshold value at a predetermined timing, and displays, for example, screen G17 shown in FIG. It is displayed on the display unit 104 to notify that the capacity is insufficient. On the screen G17, the message &quot;The history capacity is full, so delete the oldest history in order&quot; is displayed, and the &quot;Confirm&quot; button P171 is displayed below it. When the "Confirm" button P171 is tapped by the user, the CPU 101 ends display of the screen G17.

Further, since it is troublesome for the user to repeatedly issue the above-described capacity shortage notification, the CPU 101 determines that the usable capacity of the storage unit 105 is within a range of ±5% of the threshold after issuing the capacity shortage notification once. Capacity shortage notification is not performed again until it is out. That is, for example, when the user performs an operation such as deleting an icon or memo information added in the past, the usable capacity of the storage unit 105 increases and it is out of the range of ±5% with respect to the threshold value. do. In this case, the history of the capacity shortage notification is deleted, and capacity shortage notification is issued again when it is determined that the usable capacity of the storage unit 105 is equal to or less than the threshold value. 18 shows an example of the change over time of the usable capacity of the storage unit 105. As shown in FIG. 18, a capacity shortage notification is issued at timing T1 when the usable capacity is less than or equal to the threshold value, and the capacity shortage notification history is deleted at timing T2 when the usable capacity is out of the range R of ±5% of the threshold value. do. Then, at timing T3 when the usable capacity again becomes equal to or less than the threshold value, the capacity shortage notification is performed again.

In addition, smart watch 1 has a function of changing the settings of various processes and functions described above.

For example, when the user taps the “Settings” button P85 while the function drawer screen G8 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 104 of Smart Watch 1, the CPU 101 displays a screen for changing various settings (shown). is omitted) is displayed on the display unit 104. By this, the user can, for example, change the conditions in the notification process (elapsed time from the time the icon was added to the specified point, range of distance from the specified point, etc.), change the type of map, It is possible to perform operations such as changing notification processing not to be executed.

<Technical effect of this embodiment>

According to this embodiment, smart watch 1 acquires current location information, obtains map information based on the current location information, selects an icon from a plurality of different icons reminiscent of predetermined information, and selects a user's A CPU 101 that adds an icon to a designated point in map information based on an operation, and informs the user of predetermined information corresponding to the icon added to the designated point when a predetermined condition for the selected icon is satisfied, together with the map information Since the display unit 104 displays icons added by the CPU 101 and corresponding designated points, the user can obtain predetermined information without actively reviewing or confirming icons added in the past. Accordingly, the user can effectively and simply utilize the information added on the map information.

In addition, since the CPU 101 notifies the user of the predetermined information corresponding to the icon in a mode different from that displayed on the display unit 104 and has a higher notification effect than the display on the display unit 104, the user is notified of the predetermined information. It is easy to notice that there is

Further, after the CPU 101 notifies the user of the predetermined information corresponding to the icon added to the designated point, when the predetermined condition is satisfied again, the CPU 101 notifies the user of the predetermined information corresponding to the icon added to the designated point, multiple times. It is possible to notify the user of certain information over the course. As a result, the user can utilize the information added on the map information more efficiently.

In addition, as a result of the user moving and approaching a designated point, the CPU 101 notifies predetermined information corresponding to the additional information in a manner different from that in which the additional information itself added on the map information is displayed on the display unit 104. , the user can more reliably notice that there is additional information on the map information, and can utilize the corresponding information more reliably and effectively.

In addition, since the CPU 101 notifies the user of predetermined information corresponding to the icon when the current position indicated by the current position information is within a predetermined distance range from the designated point, the user approaches the designated point to which the icon is added. Certain information can be communicated. In this way, it is possible to suppress frequent notification of information to the user and improve convenience.

Further, since the CPU 101 notifies the user of predetermined information corresponding to the icon based on the elapsed time from when the icon is added to the designated point, the predetermined information can be notified only after the predetermined time has elapsed. In this way, it is possible to suppress frequent notification of information to the user and improve convenience.

In addition, since the predetermined information corresponding to the icon is memo information input by the user, the user can obtain information based on his/her own experience at a predetermined timing and make use of the past experience.

In addition, since the memo information is voice-input by the user, the user can easily input detailed information based on his/her experience.

In addition, since a manipulation input unit 102 or a display unit 104 is included to provide an interface for inputting memo information to the user, the user can easily input memo information.

In addition, since the CPU 101 notifies the user of predetermined information corresponding to the icon, map information indicating the specified point is displayed, so that the user can immediately check the map information when the predetermined information is notified.

Also, since the CPU 101 displays the icon added to the specified point superimposed on the specified point on the map information, the user can immediately check the specified point to which the icon is added on the map information when a notification of predetermined information is received. .

In addition, since the CPU 101 navigates to a specified point based on the current location information and map information after predetermined information corresponding to the icon is known to the user, the user can easily reach the specified point to which the icon has been added. can be reached

Further, since the CPU 101 lists and displays the icons added to the specified points according to the time series based on the times added to the specified points, the user can review the icons added on the map information in the past, and on the map information information can be used effectively.

In addition, since the CPU 101 notifies only predetermined information corresponding to a specific icon among a plurality of different icons, it is possible to suppress frequent notification of information to the user and improve convenience.

In addition, since the CPU 101 presents at least one icon among a plurality of different icons and adds the icon selected by the user among the presented icons to the designated point, the user can more easily select the icon to be added to the designated point. there is.

Also, since the CPU 101 extracts one or more icons from among a plurality of different icons based on the current location information and presents the extracted icons, the user can easily select an icon suitable for the situation.

In addition, since the CPU 101 displays a list of two or more icons among a plurality of different icons, and arranges the icon selected immediately before by the user at the beginning (e.g., top) of them, the user can easily select the icon with high frequency of use. can choose to

Further, since the CPU 101 adds an icon to the current location indicated by the current location information as a designated point, the user can add an icon to the map information with a simpler operation.

Further, when the CPU 101 adds an icon to a location selected by the user among map information as a designated point, the user can add an icon to a desired point on the map information.

In addition, since the CPU 101 acquires emotion information representing the user's emotion and controls the icon or predetermined information corresponding to the icon based on the acquired emotion information, the user's emotion-related information can be utilized.

Further, since the CPU 101 changes the display mode based on the obtained emotion information and then adds the selected icon, information on the user's emotion can also be added to the map information. In this way, the user can recognize his or her feelings when adding the icon by confirming the icon displayed on the display unit 104 .

Further, since the CPU 101 displays a character string based on the voice input by the user as predetermined information corresponding to the icon after changing the display mode based on the emotional information obtained from the voice, the user can By confirming the character string displayed at 104, it is possible to recognize one's feelings when the character string is input.

Further, since the CPU 101 changes the predetermined condition for the icon based on the acquired emotion information, the timing and frequency of notification can be changed according to the user's emotion when the icon is added.

<Modification 1>

Modification 1 of the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment will be described. Except for the points described below, it is assumed that the configuration is similar to that of the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment.

The map information display system according to Modification Example 1 differs from the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment in the following points. That is, the map information display system according to the modified example 1 does not include the smartphone 2 and is configured only with the smart watch 1. Therefore, in the map information display system according to Modification Example 1, smart watch 1 alone performs various processes performed by the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment. For this reason, it is sufficient for the user to possess only the smart watch 1, and the smart watch 1 does not have to be in a state where data communication with the smartphone 2 is possible.

For example, the map information display system according to Modification Example 1, that is, smart watch 1, performs map information display processing and notification processing as follows. On the other hand, the icon addition process according to Modification Example 1 is similar to the icon addition process performed by the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment.

(Map information display processing)

First, the map information display system according to Modification Example 1, that is, map information display processing performed by smart watch 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 19 . Fig. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of map information display processing according to Modification Example 1.

Map information display processing is performed when a predetermined operation is performed by the operation input unit 102 of the smart watch 1 at an arbitrary timing when the user wants to check the map information.

First, the CPU 101 of the smart watch 1 obtains current location information indicating the user's current location by means of the satellite radio wave receiving module 108 (step S401). Next, the CPU 101 acquires the map information previously stored in the storage unit 105 (step S402). The map information acquired here is map information within a predetermined distance range centered on the current position indicated by the current position information acquired in step S401.

Next, the CPU 101 displays map information and current location information on the display unit 104 (step S403).

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not an icon addition operation has been performed by the user (step S404).

If it is determined that the icon-adding operation has been performed (step S404; YES), the CPU 101 performs an icon-adding process similar to the above embodiment, adding an icon desired by the user on the displayed map information (step S405). If it is determined that no icon addition operation is performed (step S404; No), the CPU 101 omits the icon addition process of step S405 and performs the process of step S406.

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not to end the display of map information based on the user's operation (step S406).

If it is determined that the display of the map information is not ended (step S406; No), the CPU 101 performs the process of step S401 again. If it is determined that the display of the map information is to end (step S406; YES), the CPU 101 ends the map information display process.

(notification handling)

Subsequently, notification processing performed by the map information display system according to Modification Example 1, that is, smart watch 1, will be described with reference to FIG. 20 . 20 is a flowchart showing an example of notification processing according to Modification Example 1.

Notification processing continues as long as the power supply to the satellite radio wave receiving module 108 of smart watch 1 is turned on. In addition, notification processing is performed only when the specific icon A1 is added on the map information in the icon addition processing, and is not performed when the specific icon A1 is not added on the map information. When a plurality of specific icons A1 are added on the map information, each is performed.

First, CPU 101 of smart watch 1 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the time when the specific icon A1 was added (step S501). Specifically, the CPU 101 determines whether, for example, one day or more has elapsed since the time indicated by the time information, based on the time information stored together with the icon in the storage unit 105 .

If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S501; No), the CPU 101 performs the process of step S501 again.

If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S501; YES), the CPU 101 acquires current location information indicating the current location of the user by the satellite electric wave receiving module 108 (step S502).

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the current location indicated by the current location information acquired in the process of step S502 exists within a predetermined distance range, for example, within a radius of 5 km from the specified point to which the specific icon A1 is added ( Step S503). Further, when emotion information corresponding to the specific icon A1 is stored in the storage unit 105, the CPU 101 changes the range of the distance to be determined based on the emotion information.

If it is determined that it is not within the predetermined distance range from the designated point (step S503; NO), the CPU 101 performs the process of step S502 again.

If it is determined that it is within the predetermined distance range from the designated point (step S503; Yes), the CPU 101 determines whether there is memo information corresponding to the specific icon A1 added to the designated point (step S504).

If it is determined that there is memo information (step S504; YES), the CPU 101 acquires the memo information and corresponding emotion information from the storage unit 105 (step S505). On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no memo information (step S504; No), the CPU 101 omits the process of step S505.

Next, the CPU 101 notifies the user of predetermined information corresponding to the icon (step S506).

Next, the CPU 101 determines whether navigation is to be executed or not (step S507). If it is determined that navigation is to be executed (step S507; YES), the CPU 101 executes navigation (step S508). After the navigation is executed, the CPU 101 performs the process of step S501 again.

On the other hand, if it is determined that navigation is not to be executed (step S507; No), the CPU 101 determines whether or not to display map information (step S509).

If it is determined that the map information is to be displayed (step S509; Yes), the CPU 101 displays the map information on the display unit 104 (step S510). After displaying the map information, the CPU 101 performs the process of step S501 again.

If it is determined not to display map information (step S509; No), the CPU 101 omits the process of step S510 and performs the process of step S501 again.

Notification processing is performed as described above, and whenever a predetermined condition is satisfied, the CPU 101 repeatedly notifies the user of predetermined information.

(Technical effect of modified example 1)

As described above, according to the modified example 1, since the map information display system is composed of only the smart watch 1, not only the technical effects obtained in the above embodiment, but also convenience can be significantly improved since the user does not need to carry a smartphone. there is.

<Modification 2>

Modification 2 of the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment will be described. Except for the contents described below, it is assumed that the configuration is the same as that of the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment.

The map information display system according to Modification Example 2 differs from the map information display system 100 of the above embodiment in the following points. That is, the system for displaying map information according to Modification Example 2 performs icon addition processing as follows, and selects an icon based on an input voice. Therefore, in the modified example 2, not only the specific icon A1 but also corresponding comment information is stored for any icon. For this reason, even if the icon added on the map information is not the specific icon A1, the notification process is executed. On the other hand, the map information display processing according to the modified example 2 is the same as the map information display processing according to the above embodiment, except that the notification processing according to the modified example 2 is also executed for icons other than the specific icon A1. It is the same as notification processing according to the embodiment.

(Icon addition processing)

The icon addition process according to Modification Example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 21 . Fig. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of icon addition processing according to Modification Example 2. Except for the contents described below, it is assumed that the icon addition process is performed in the same way as the icon addition process according to the above embodiment.

As shown in Fig. 21, first, CPU 101 of smart watch 1 determines whether or not memo information is input as information corresponding to the icon (step S601).

Specifically, the CPU 101 displays the voice standby screen G7c shown in Fig. 7(c) on the display unit 104, and also determines that memo information has been input when voice is input by the user. When the user makes a sound toward the smart watch 1, the sound is input through the microphone of the manipulation input unit 102. Further, for example, in a state where the voice standby screen G7c is displayed and no voice is input for a predetermined period of time, the CPU 101 determines that memo information is not input.

If it is determined that memo information has been input (step S601; YES), the CPU 101 converts the input voice into a character string, stores the character string as memo information in the storage unit 105, and acquires and stores emotion information from the input voice. It is stored in unit 105 (step S602).

If it is determined that no memo information has been input (step S601; NO), the CPU 101 ends the icon adding process.

Next, the CPU 101 extracts one or more icons from among a plurality of different icons based on the acquired emotion information (step S603). Specifically, the CPU 101 extracts a plurality of icons suitable for the user's emotion indicated by the emotion information. For example, when the emotion information indicates "distress/angry", icon A4 or A6 (see Fig. 10) is extracted, and when "anxiety" is indicated, icon A3 or A6 (see Fig. 10) is extracted. , In the case of "stable", the icon A5 (see Fig. 10) is extracted, and in the case of "joy", the icon A2 or A5 (see Fig. 10) is extracted.

Next, as shown in Fig. 21, the CPU 101 lists and displays the plurality of icons extracted in the process of step S603 on the display unit 104 (step S604). For example, the CPU 101 displays the extracted plurality of icons on the display unit 104 as shown in FIG. 7(b).

Next, as shown in Fig. 21, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the icon is selected by the user (step S605). Specifically, when the icon confirmation button P73 is tapped (or the push button switch 102a is pressed) by the user while the extracted plurality of icons are displayed on the display unit 104 as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, The CPU 101 determines that the icon has been selected. Further, in a state where a plurality of extracted icons are displayed, when no operation by the user is input for a predetermined period of time, or when the push button switch 102b is pressed, the CPU 101 determines that no icon has been selected.

If it is determined that no icon is selected (step S605; No), the CPU 101 ends the icon adding process.

If it is determined that the icon has been selected (step S605; YES), the CPU 101 associates the current location with the specified point information indicating the specified point as the specified point and the icon selected by the user, and stores it in the storage unit 105 (step S606). . At this time, the CPU 101 measures the current time by the timekeeping unit 107 to obtain time information, and stores the time information together with the selected icon in the storage unit 105.

Next, the CPU 101 stores the various types of information described above in the storage unit 105, and displays on the display unit 104 a screen with an icon selected at the current location (designated point) on the map information (step S607). Here, the CPU 101 changes the color tone of the selected icon based on the emotion information stored in the storage unit 105 and displays it on the display unit 104 . More specifically, the CPU 101 sets the color tone of the specific icon A1, red when the emotional information indicates "distress/angry", blue when indicating "anxiety", green when indicating "stable", and "joy" ”, it is changed to “yellow”.

Further, when the icon is tapped by the user while the screen to which the selected icon is added is displayed, the CPU 101 causes the display unit 104 to display a character string as memo information. In this case, the CPU 101 may change the display mode of the character string and display it on the display unit 104 based on the emotional information stored together with the memo information.

Perform icon addition processing as described above.

On the other hand, in the processing of step S603, it is assumed that a plurality of icons are extracted, but it is not limited to this, and only one icon may be used. If the number of icons to be extracted is only one, the CPU 101 skips the processing of steps S604 and S605 and selects the extracted icon.

(Technical effect of modified example 2)

As described above, according to Modification Example 2, since the CPU 101 selects an icon based on the acquired emotion information, the user can change their emotions at that time only by voice input, in addition to the technical effects obtained in the above embodiment. Matching icons can be added over map information.

In addition, since the CPU 101 extracts one or more icons from among a plurality of different icons based on the obtained emotion information and selects an icon selected by the user from among the extracted icons, an icon that is more consistent with the user's emotion or situation is selected. It can be added on top of map information.

<Others>

On the other hand, the contents described in the above embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2 are examples of a suitable map information display system according to the present invention, but are not limited thereto. In particular, various images displayed on the display unit 104 of smart watch 1 are examples, and are not limited thereto.

For example, in the above modified example 1, the map information display system includes only the smart watch 1, but is not limited thereto. That is, it is also possible that the map information display system does not include the smart watch 1 and includes only the smartphone 2. In this case, smartphone 2 alone performs various processes such as map information display process, icon addition process, and notification process.

Further, in the above-described embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2, the icon added by the user, the designated point information indicating the designated point to which the icon was added, the time information indicating the time when the corresponding icon was added, and the inputted by the user Although memo information and the like are stored in the storage unit 105 of smart watch 1, it is not limited thereto. For example, such information may be stored in the storage unit 205 of smartphone 2, or may be stored in an external device capable of transmitting/receiving data to/from smart watch 1 or smartphone 2. In the case of storing in the storage unit 205 of smartphone 2, only various screen displays and operation inputs are performed on the smart watch 1 side, and the above-described map information display processing, icon addition processing and notification processing are performed on the smartphone 2 side. You can do it by doing it.

Furthermore, after the various types of information are stored in the storage unit 105, the CPU 101 of the smart watch 1 transmits a data file including the various types of information to an external terminal (e.g., a smartphone 2) via the communication unit 106 based on a user's operation. etc.) may be transmitted. In this way, the user can use the external terminal to browse icons and the like given in the past, and convenience can be improved. In addition, the data file may be in any format as long as it can be read by an external terminal, and is configured in a format that can be placed on a map service, such as a kml (Keyhole Markup Language) format, for example. Here, if the data file contains information unique to smart watch 1 (for example, icon design, etc.), the external terminal of the transmission destination needs to include a dedicated application in order to read it and reproduce it on the map service. There are cases where it cannot be completely reproduced. Therefore, it is preferable that the data file does not contain such original information, but includes a URL for accessing a predetermined server (not shown) in which the information is stored. As a result, even when the external terminal does not include a dedicated application, it is possible to access a predetermined server on the communication network based on the acquired URL, obtain information previously stored in the predetermined server, and reproduce it on the map service. can Further, in the data file, for example, the history of the user's current location information, the user's moving speed, and the results of activities performed by the user (eg, total time, distance, speed, fishing, etc.) may be included. Also, the data file may be configured in units of days or in units of activities performed by the user.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and modified example 1, the CPU 101 analyzes the input voice to acquire emotion information representing the user's emotion, but it is not limited to this, and the emotion information is not obtained from the input voice. You can do it without it. In this case, the display mode of the icon added in the icon addition process may not be changed based on the emotion information, and the predetermined condition related to the icon in the notification process (elapsed time from the time the icon is added to the designated point) , distance range from a specified point, etc.) may not be changed based on emotion information, and the display mode of predetermined information (icon included in notification, memo information, etc.) corresponding to the icon in notification processing is changed to emotion information. It may be that it does not change based on . Further, the CPU 101 may be capable of changing whether or not to acquire emotion information from an input voice based on an operation by the user.

Further, in the above-described embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2, the CPU 101 acquires emotion information from voice input by the user, but it is not limited to this. For example, the CPU 101 may acquire information about the user other than voice, such as the user's heart rate and behavior history, and acquire emotion information based on them.

In addition, in the above-described embodiments and modifications 1 and 2, the display mode of the icon or character string is changed based on the acquired emotion information, and predetermined conditions related to the icon are changed in the notification processing, but it is not limited to this. no. That is, the display mode of the icon may not be changed, the display mode of the character string may not be changed, or predetermined conditions related to the icon may not be changed in notification processing. In addition, the CPU 101 may be able to change whether or not to execute these operations based on the user's operation.

In addition, in the above-described embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2, the emotion information was intended to represent the user's emotions in four categories of "distress/angry", "anxiety", "stable" and "joy", but it is not limited to this. no. For example, the emotion information may represent the user's emotions by two or three of these categories, or may represent the user's emotions by five or more categories including emotions other than these.

Further, in the above-described embodiments and modifications 1 and 2, the CPU 101 changes the color tone of the icon based on emotion information and displays it on the display unit 104, but changing the display mode of the icon based on emotion information It is not limited to this. For example, the CPU 101 may change the type or size of an icon based on emotion information and display it on the display unit 104 . In this case, when the emotion information indicates "distress/angry" or "anxiety", the type of icon may be changed in a manner reminiscent of them, or the size of the icon may be changed to a relatively small size. Also, when the emotion information indicates "stable" or "joy", the type of icon may be changed in a manner reminiscent of them, or the size of the icon may be changed relatively large.

Further, in the above-described embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2, the predetermined condition for sending predetermined information as a notification to the user is when the distance from the designated point to the current location is within a predetermined distance range and an icon is added to the designated point. Although it was set as the condition that the elapsed time from the time is more than a predetermined time, it is not limited to this. That is, the predetermined condition for sending predetermined information to the user as a notification may be anything other than the condition that a designated point exists within a displayable range on the display unit 104 according to the current location. For example, predetermined information may be sent as a notification to the user based on the time when the icon is added to the designated point. In this case, the CPU 101 measures the current time by the timekeeping unit 107 at a predetermined timing to obtain time information, and meets the condition that the current time is within a certain time before or after the time when the icon is added to the designated point. When satisfied, predetermined information may be sent to the user as a notification. Accordingly, when predetermined information corresponding to the icon is valid only in a specific time zone, it can be sent as a notification to the user only when the current time is in the specific time zone. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress frequent notification of information sent to the user and improve convenience.

In addition, predetermined information is notified to the user based on one or a combination of two or more of the distance from the specified point to the current location, the elapsed time from when the icon was added to the specified point, and the time when the icon was added to the specified point. You can do it by sending it.

Note that these conditions may be set in advance in association with the icon selected by the user.

Furthermore, the CPU 101 may change these conditions based on emotion information acquired from the input voice.

In addition, in the above-described embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2, the display mode of the character string corresponding to the icon is changed based on the emotion information, but it is not limited to this. For example, when a user transmits a message or the like composed of character strings to another terminal by voice input, the CPU 101 obtains emotion information from the voice, and based on the acquired emotion information, the message or the like It is also possible to change the display mode of and display it on the display unit 104. Also, if the other terminal to which the message or the like is sent is configured similarly to the above smart watch 1, the CPU 101 may change the received message or the like to a display mode based on the emotion information and display it on the display unit 104 good night.

Further, in the above-described embodiments and modified examples 1 and 2, it is assumed that the information corresponding to the icon is memo information input by the user, but it is not limited thereto. For example, predetermined information may be associated with an icon selected by the user in advance, and the predetermined information may be sent as a notification when a predetermined condition is satisfied without the user inputting memo information.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment and modified examples 1 and 2, the memo information is voiced by the user, but is not limited to this, and may be input by manual operation.
