- step S27 when the association information management unit 30 acquires the t-th geographic information 27, the t-th number in the m-th geographic information list is the number C of geographic information in the m-th geographic information list C. (m) It is determined whether or not it is below (S29). In this determination, if this t is C (m) or less (“Yes” in S29), the s-th geographic information obtained from the n-th geographic information list and the m-th geographic information list are obtained. A comparison is made as to whether or not the location information of the t-th geographic information is the same (S31).
- step S31 the s-th geographic information 27 obtained from the n-th geographic information list and the location information of the t-th geographic information 27 obtained from the m-th geographic information list are the same. If the location information is determined to be the same as a result of the comparison (“Yes” in S31), the association information management unit 30 stores the association information for the compared geographic information 27 It memorize
- step S31 If it is determined in step S31 that the position information is not the same ("No" in S31), the process proceeds to step S33.
- step S31 the fact that the location information is the same is a case where the location information of the compared geographic information is determined to be for the same location.
- the positional information is indicated by latitude and longitude in the two compared geographical information
- the position information is determined to be information for the same position.
- the location information may represent an administratively determined area such as "Osaka Prefecture” or "Nara Prefecture”, which does not indicate a single point such as latitude and longitude.
- the region and the coordinate points included in the region may be treated as equivalent location information.
- a region such as “Osaka Prefecture” and “Osaka City” that have an inclusive relationship, these may be the same.
- a criterion as to whether or not the geographic information 27 includes the same location information may be set in advance in the information terminal device 4, or the information terminal device 4 includes This can be realized by operating the operation unit 18 by the user, instructing the editing unit 32, and changing the association setting reference information 33 stored in the storage unit 16.
