Specifically, there is a heading-up display mode in which the map image is rotated so that the traveling direction of the vehicle is always upward while the vehicle is traveling. There were things that prevented frequent redrawing (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0015] 以下に添付図面を参照して、この発明にかかるナビゲーシヨン装置、ナビゲーショ ン方法、ナビゲーシヨンプログラムおよびコンピュータに読み取り可能な記録媒体の 好適な実施の形態を詳細に説明する。  [0015] Exemplary embodiments of a navigation device, a navigation method, a navigation program, and a computer-readable recording medium according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] 図 1は、この発明の実施の形態に力かるナビゲーシヨン装置の機能的構成を示す ブロック図である。この実施の形態のナビゲーシヨン装置は、検出部 101、判定部 10 2、案内部 103、設定部 104、記憶部 105、 目的地設定部 106、経路探索部 107、経 路設定部 108および制御部 109により構成されている。  [0016] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a navigation apparatus that is useful in an embodiment of the present invention. The navigation device of this embodiment includes a detection unit 101, a determination unit 102, a guide unit 103, a setting unit 104, a storage unit 105, a destination setting unit 106, a route search unit 107, a route setting unit 108, and a control unit. 109.
[0017] 検出部 101は、移動体の加速度を検出する。移動体とは、 自動車、列車、電車、自 動車などの貨客を輸送する車両を含む。加速度とは、速度の変化率である。  [0017] The detecting unit 101 detects the acceleration of the moving body. The mobile body includes vehicles that transport cargo passengers such as automobiles, trains, trains, and automobiles. Acceleration is the rate of change of speed.
[0018] 判定部 102は、検出部 101によって検出されたカ卩速度力 一定水準以上かかって レ、るか否かを判定する。加速度が一定水準以上力かっていることを判定することによ り、酔いが発生する程度に移動体が揺れているか否力 ^判定する。ここで、ある大き さ以上の加速度が検出される頻度が一定以上の場合に、加速度が一定水準以上か 力、つていると判定することもできる。また、ある大きさ以上の加速度が検出されてから 時間を計測し、所定の時間が経過するまでに、ある大きさ以上の加速度力 Sかかった 回数が所定の回数以上となった場合、加速度が一定水準以上力かっていると判定 することちでさる。  [0018] The determination unit 102 determines whether or not the hook speed force detected by the detection unit 101 exceeds a certain level. By determining that the acceleration is greater than a certain level, it is determined whether the moving body is shaking enough to cause sickness. Here, if the frequency at which acceleration of a certain magnitude or more is detected is more than a certain level, it can also be determined that the acceleration is above a certain level. In addition, the time is measured after the acceleration of a certain magnitude or more is detected, and if the number of times the acceleration force S is greater than a certain magnitude before the predetermined time elapses, the acceleration is It can be judged by judging that it is working above a certain level.
[0019] 案内部 103は、判定部 102によってカ卩速度が一定水準以上力かっていると判定さ れた場合、注意情報を案内する。なお、案内部 103は、移動体の減速を促す情報を 表示することにより、注意情報を案内することもできる。案内部 103は、加速度センサ 317によって横方向の加速度が検出され、ある一定以上の加速度がある一定以上の 回数検出された場合、音声案内などにより運転者、同乗者に休憩案内などの注意を 促す。ここで案内される注意情報は、周辺の休憩場の自動案内、窓をあけるよう促す 案内、スピードを落とすなどの安全運転案内などが挙げられる。 [0019] The guide unit 103 guides attention information when the determination unit 102 determines that the speed is greater than a certain level. Note that the guidance unit 103 can also guide the attention information by displaying information that prompts the mobile body to decelerate. The guide unit 103 detects the acceleration in the lateral direction by the acceleration sensor 317, and the acceleration of a certain level exceeds a certain level. When the number of times is detected, the driver and passengers are alerted by taking voice guidance, etc. The caution information provided here includes automatic guidance for nearby rest areas, guidance for opening windows, and safe driving guidance such as speed reduction.
[0020] 設定部 104は、注意情報を案内するか否かを設定する。設定部 104によって案内 すると設定されている場合に、案内部 103は、注意情報を案内する。設定部 104は、 あらかじめ初期設定で同乗者設定をしておくことにより車酔いを考慮してルート設定 する。 [0020] Setting section 104 sets whether or not to guide attention information. When it is set to guide by the setting unit 104, the guide unit 103 guides attention information. The setting unit 104 performs route setting in consideration of car sickness by setting passengers in the initial setting in advance.
[0021] 記憶部 105は、判定部 102によってカ卩速度が一定水準以上力、かっていると判定さ れた場合、判定された移動体の位置を示す位置情報を記憶する。 目的地設定部 10 6は、 目的地を設定する。 目的地の設定は、ナビゲーシヨン装置の画面を通して指定 し、指定された地点に設定することができる。  The storage unit 105 stores position information indicating the determined position of the moving body when the determination unit 102 determines that the speed of the power is greater than a certain level. The destination setting unit 10 6 sets the destination. The destination can be set through the navigation device screen and set at the specified point.
[0022] 経路探索部 107は、 目的地までの経路を探索する場合、 目的地設定部 106によつ て設定された目的地までの経路を探索する。このとき、経路探索部 107は、記憶部 1 05に記憶された位置情報によって示される位置を避ける経路を探索する。  When searching for a route to the destination, the route search unit 107 searches for a route to the destination set by the destination setting unit 106. At this time, the route search unit 107 searches for a route that avoids the position indicated by the position information stored in the storage unit 105.
[0023] 経路設定部 108は、 目的地までの経路を探索しない場合、 目的地設定部 106によ つて設定された目的地までの経路を設定する。制御部 109は、 目的地設定部 106に よって以前に設定された目的地と同じ目的地が再度設定され、かつ前記経路設定部 によって以前に設定された経路と同じ経路が再度探索された場合に、経路設定部 1 06に対し、記憶部 105に記憶された位置情報が示す位置を避ける経路に設定し直 すように制御する。  If the route setting unit 108 does not search for a route to the destination, the route setting unit 108 sets the route to the destination set by the destination setting unit 106. The control unit 109 sets the same destination as the destination previously set by the destination setting unit 106, and when the same route as the route previously set by the route setting unit is searched again. Then, control is performed so that the route setting unit 106 is set to a route that avoids the position indicated by the position information stored in the storage unit 105.
[0024] 図 2は、この発明の実施の形態にかかるナビゲーシヨン方法の処理を示すフローチ ヤートである。まず、 目的地設定部 106は、移動体の目的地を設定する(ステップ S2 01)。具体的には、ナビゲーシヨン装置上で地点の入力を受け付けて、この入力され た地点を目的地として設定する。次に、経路を設定するか否かを判定する(ステップ S202) oすなわち、経路をナビゲーシヨン装置において探索する力、、または目的地に 応じて自ら経路を選ぶかをここで判定する。そして、ここでの決定に従った方法で経 路を決定する。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing of the navigation method according to the embodiment of the present invention. First, the destination setting unit 106 sets the destination of the moving object (step S2 01). Specifically, an input of a point is accepted on the navigation device, and the input point is set as a destination. Next, it is determined whether or not to set the route (step S202) o That is, it is determined whether select their path in response to a force ,, or destinations for searching for a route in Nabigeshiyon device here. Then, the route is determined by the method according to the determination here.
[0025] 経路設定部 108は、経路を設定する場合 (ステップ S202 : Yes)、 目的地設定部 10 6によって設定された目的地までの経路を設定する(ステップ S203)。次に、 目的地 設定部 106によって以前に設定された目的地と同じ目的地が再度設定され、かつ前 記経路設定部によって以前に設定された経路と同じ経路が再度探索されたか否かを 判定する(ステップ S204)。再度設定されかつ再度探索されたと判定されなかった場 合 (ステップ S204 : No)、ステップ S207に進む。再度設定されかつ再度探索された と判定された場合 (ステップ S204 : Yes)、制御部 109は、経路設定部 106に対し、 記憶部 105に記憶された位置情報が示す位置を避ける経路に設定し直す (ステップ S205)。 [0025] The route setting unit 108, when setting a route (step S202: Yes), sets the destination setting unit 10 A route to the destination set in 6 is set (step S203). Next, it is determined whether or not the same destination as the destination previously set by the destination setting unit 106 is set again and the same route as the route previously set by the route setting unit is searched again. (Step S204). If it is determined that the search has been performed again and the search has not been performed again (step S204: No), the process proceeds to step S207. When it is determined that the search is performed again and the search is performed again (step S204: Yes), the control unit 109 sets a route that avoids the position indicated by the position information stored in the storage unit 105 to the route setting unit 106. Correct (step S205).
[0026] 経路探索部 107は、経路を設定しない場合 (ステップ S202 : No)、 目的地設定部 1 06によって設定された目的地までの経路を探索する(ステップ S206)。このとき、経 路探索部 107は、記憶部 105に記憶された位置情報によって示される位置を避ける 経路を探索する。  If no route is set (step S202: No), route search unit 107 searches for a route to the destination set by destination setting unit 106 (step S206). At this time, the route search unit 107 searches for a route that avoids the position indicated by the position information stored in the storage unit 105.
[0027] 設定部 104は、注意情報を案内するか否かを設定する (ステップ S207)。すなわち 、移動体がある程度揺れたときに、車酔いの防止を促すか、その必要がないかを、ュ 一ザがナビゲーシヨン装置に対して操作することにより設定する。次に、検出部 101 は、移動体の加速度を検出する(ステップ S208)。  [0027] Setting unit 104 sets whether or not to guide attention information (step S207). That is, when the moving body shakes to some extent, whether or not it is necessary to prevent car sickness is set by the user operating the navigation device. Next, the detection unit 101 detects the acceleration of the moving body (step S208).
[0028] 次に、判定部 102は、検出部 101によって検出された加速度が、一定水準以上か 力 ているか否かを判定する(ステップ S209)。この場合の一定水準とは、一定以上 の大きさの加速度が一定以上の頻度で発生している状態とすることができる。また、こ のときの頻度は、一定以上の大きさの加速度が力かってからの、この大きさの加速度 が加わった回数で求めることができる。また、このときのかかる加速度の水準の大きさ を求めておくこともできる。それにより、案内部 103の処理において、揺れの状態にし たがった注意案内をすることができる。  Next, the determination unit 102 determines whether or not the acceleration detected by the detection unit 101 is greater than or equal to a certain level (step S209). In this case, a certain level can be defined as a state in which a certain level of acceleration occurs at a certain frequency. In addition, the frequency at this time can be obtained by the number of times the acceleration of this magnitude is added after the acceleration of a certain magnitude or more is applied. In addition, the magnitude of the acceleration level at this time can be obtained. Thereby, in the processing of the guide unit 103, it is possible to provide caution guidance according to the state of shaking.
[0029] 判定部 102によって加速度が一定水準以上力、かっていないと判定された場合 (ス テツプ S209 : No)、一連の処理を終了する。案内部 103は、判定部 102によってカロ 速度が一定水準以上力かっていると判定された場合 (ステップ S209 : Yes)、注意情 報を案内する (ステップ S210)。このときの注意情報の案内は、移動体の減速、窓を 開ける、休憩をとる、他のルートをとる、といったことを促すことが挙げられる。また、か 力る加速度の状態、すなわち揺れの状態によって案内する注意情報を分けることも できる。たとえば、揺れが比較的小さいときは、窓を開けるよう促し、揺れが比較的大 きレ、場合には休憩を取るよう促すこともできる。 [0029] If the determination unit 102 determines that the acceleration is not a force exceeding a certain level (step S209: No), the series of processes is terminated. If the determining unit 102 determines that the caro speed is greater than a certain level (step S209: Yes), the guiding unit 103 guides attention information (step S210). At this time, the guidance information may include prompting the vehicle to slow down, open a window, take a break, or take another route. again The guidance information to be guided can be divided according to the state of acceleration, that is, the state of shaking. For example, when the shaking is relatively small, it can be encouraged to open the window, and when the shaking is relatively large, it can be encouraged to take a break.
[0030] そして、記憶部 105は、移動体の位置を示す位置情報を記憶する(ステップ S211) 。それにより、加速度が一定水準以上力かっていると判定された位置を記憶しておく こと力 sできる。ここで記憶された位置情報に従って、上述の経路探索または経路の再 設定を実行する。 [0030] Then, the storage unit 105 stores position information indicating the position of the moving body (step S211). As a result, it is possible to memorize the position where the acceleration is determined to be greater than a certain level. According to the position information stored here, the above-described route search or route resetting is executed.
[0031] 以上説明した実施の形態により、移動体に一定水準以上で加速力かかっていると きに注意情報が案内されるので、たとえば加速により揺れが継続して発生した場合に 、揺れによる酔いに対応するよう促すことができる。具体的には、注意情報として酔い にくい道を案内することによって運転者や同乗者の車酔いを防止することができる。 また、注意情報として休憩案内や揺れへの注意を促すことにより、運転者や同乗者 の車酔レ、を防止することができる。  [0031] According to the embodiment described above, attention information is guided when an acceleration force is applied to a moving body at a certain level or higher. For example, when vibration continuously occurs due to acceleration, motion sickness is caused by the vibration. Can be encouraged to respond. Specifically, the driver and passengers can be prevented from getting sick by guiding the difficult-to-drink road as caution information. In addition, it is possible to prevent drivers and passengers from getting drunk by alerting them to break guidance and shaking as caution information.
[0032] また、移動体の減速を促す情報を表示することにより、運転者は車酔いが発生しや すい状況であることを認識することができ、同乗者が揺れで酔ってしまう前に移動体 を減速して事前に揺れを防止することができる。また、設定により注意情報を案内す る場合と案内しない場合を切り替えることにより、運転者および同乗者が車酔レ、しな い体質の場合に、不要な案内で煩わせないようにすることができる。  [0032] In addition, by displaying information that prompts the mobile body to decelerate, the driver can recognize that the situation is likely to cause car sickness and move before the passenger gets drunk by shaking. You can slow down your body and prevent shaking in advance. In addition, by switching between the case where guidance information is guided and the case where guidance is not guided depending on the setting, it is possible to avoid bothering with unnecessary guidance when the driver and passengers are intoxicated. it can.
[0033] また、 目的地を設定して経路を探索する場合に、以前に加速度が一定水準以上か 力 た位置情報を回避して探索することができるので、次に走行するときには、経路 探索の段階で揺れが小さい経路を探索して走行することができる。  [0033] In addition, when searching for a route with a destination set, it is possible to search while avoiding position information that has previously been at a certain acceleration level or higher, so that the next time you travel, It is possible to travel by searching for a route with less shaking at each stage.
[0034] また、 目的地と経路を探索する場合に、経路が以前に加速度が一定水準以上かか つた位置を経由する場合には再度の探索を促すので、次に走行するときには、経路 設定の段階で揺れが小さい経路を探索して走行することができる。  [0034] In addition, when searching for a destination and a route, if the route passes through a position where the acceleration has previously exceeded a certain level, the search is prompted again. It is possible to travel by searching for a route with less shaking at each stage.

[0052] 図 4は、移動体の走行状況と注意案内の状況を説明する説明図である。まず、通常 走行状態 401では、移動体は通常の状態の道を走行している。このとき、特に揺れ のある道を走行しているわけではないので、特に案内が必要な状態にはなっていな レ、。ここで、加速度センサ 317が X以上の入力を計測したとき、移動体の走行中の揺 れがどの程度かを判定すベぐ通常走行状態 401から揺れ検出状態 402に移行す る。  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the traveling state of the moving body and the state of attention guidance. First, in the normal running state 401, the moving body is running on the road in the normal state. At this time, I am not particularly driving on a rocky road, so there is no need for guidance. Here, when the acceleration sensor 317 measures an input equal to or greater than X, the normal traveling state 401 for determining how much the moving body is moving during the traveling shifts from the normal traveling state 401 to the shake detecting state 402.
[0053] 揺れ検出状態 402では、加速度を検出して揺れが頻繁に起きているか否かを判定 している。加速度センサ 317が X以上の入力を計測して揺れ検出状態 402に移行し たとき、カウンタが 1にセットされる。そしてタイマーの計測が開始される。このタイマー の計測期間に加速度センサ 317が X以上を検出するたびにカウンタは 1ずつ加算さ れていく。そしてカウンタが既定回数に達したとき、注意案内状態 403に進むが、既 定回数に達することなくタイマーの計測時間が経過した場合、通常走行状態 401に 戻る。以上のタイマーおよびカウンタは CPU301により実行され、 CPU301でタイマ 一の時間を計測し、カウンタの加算およびリセットを実行する。 In the shake detection state 402, acceleration is detected to determine whether or not the shake is frequently occurring. The counter is set to 1 when the acceleration sensor 317 measures an input of X or more and shifts to the shake detection state 402. Then, the timer measurement is started. This timer Each time the acceleration sensor 317 detects X or more during the measurement period, the counter is incremented by one. When the counter reaches the predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to the caution guidance state 403, but when the time measured by the timer has elapsed without reaching the predetermined number of times, the process returns to the normal running state 401. The above timers and counters are executed by the CPU 301, and the CPU 301 measures the timer time and executes addition and reset of the counters.
[0054] 計測時間内に既定回数の揺れが検出されない場合、その揺れは同乗者にとって 許容範囲であり、通常走行状態 401に戻すことにより、通常の経路を走行しているの と同程度として扱う。それにより、少しの揺れで注意が乱発されるのを防止し、必要な ときにされた注意をより効果的なものとすることができる。  [0054] If a predetermined number of shakes are not detected within the measurement time, the shake is acceptable for the passenger, and by returning to the normal running state 401, it is treated as if driving on a normal route. . In this way, attention can be prevented from being overwhelmed by slight shaking, and attention given when necessary can be made more effective.
[0055] そして、注意案内状態 403では、運転者'同乗者に車酔いの防止を促す注意案内 をする。ここでは、注意情報の案内として、周辺の休憩場を自動案内したり、窓をあけ るよう促したり、スピードを落とすなどの安全運転案内をする。ここで、注意情報には 段階を設け、段階にしたがった注意情報を案内することも考えられる。たとえば最初 の段階では窓を開けるよう促し、さらに揺れが継続する場合には、スピードを落として の走行を案内し、さらに揺れる場合は、周辺の休憩場を自動案内して休憩をとること を促す、という形にすることもできる。なお、あらかじめ初期設定で同乗者設定をして おくことにより車酔いを考慮したルート設定を行うこともできる。  [0055] Then, in the caution guidance state 403, caution guidance is provided to prompt the driver's passenger to prevent car sickness. Here, as guidance for caution information, we will provide guidance for safe driving such as automatically guiding the resting area around the area, prompting the user to open windows, and reducing the speed. Here, it is conceivable to provide steps for the attention information and guide the attention information according to the steps. For example, prompt the user to open the window at the first stage, and if the shaking continues, guide the driving at a reduced speed, and if further shaking, automatically guide the resting area around and encourage them to take a break It can also be in the form of It is also possible to set the route in consideration of car sickness by setting passengers in the initial settings in advance.
[0056] 図 5は、走行中の注意案内処理を説明するフローチャートである。まず、車酔い防 止設定がされているか否力を判定する(ステップ S501)。車酔い防止設定がされて いない場合 (ステップ S501 : No)、一連の処理を終了する。車酔い防止設定がされ ている場合 (ステップ S501: Yes)、加速度センサ 317に、 X (G)以上の入力があるか 否力、を判定する(ステップ S502)。 X (G)以上の入力によって、移動体に揺れが発生 したと検出される。 X (G)以上の入力がない場合 (ステップ S502 : No)、一連の処理 を終了する。  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the attention guidance process during travel. First, it is determined whether or not the vehicle sickness prevention setting has been made (step S501). If car sickness prevention is not set (step S501: No), the series of processing ends. If vehicle sickness prevention is set (step S501: Yes), it is determined whether or not the acceleration sensor 317 has an input of X (G) or more (step S502). When the input exceeds X (G), it is detected that the moving object has shaken. If there is no input greater than X (G) (step S502: No), the series of processing ends.
[0057] X (G)以上の入力がある場合(ステップ S502 : Yes)、タイマーをスタートし(ステップ S503)、カウンタの値を 1にセットする(ステップ S504)。次に、タイマーが X分を経過 したか否かを判定する (ステップ S505)。この X分の間に既定回数の揺れが検出され た場合に注意案内するので、既定回数に達しなレ、うちに X分に達した場合、元に戻 す必要がある。したがって、タイマーが X分を経過したと判定された場合 (ステップ S5 05 : Yes)、タイマーをストップしてタイマーを 0、カウンタを 0にリセットする(ステップ S 506)。そして、ステップ S502に戻る。 [0057] If there is an input of X (G) or more (step S502: Yes), a timer is started (step S503), and the counter value is set to 1 (step S504). Next, it is determined whether or not the timer has passed X minutes (step S505). If a predetermined number of shakings are detected during this X minute, a warning will be given, so if the predetermined number of times is not reached, if it reaches X minutes in the meantime, it will be restored. It is necessary to Therefore, if it is determined that the timer has passed X minutes (step S5 05: Yes), the timer is stopped, the timer is reset to 0, and the counter is reset to 0 (step S506). Then, the process returns to step S502.
[0058] タイマーが X分を経過していないと判定された場合 (ステップ S505 : No)、加速度 センサ 317に、 X (G)以上の入力があるか否かを判定する(ステップ S507)。 X (G) 以上の入力がない場合(ステップ S507 : No)、ステップ S509に進む。 X (G)以上の 入力がある場合(ステップ S507 : Yes)、タイマーをスタートし、カウンタの値を 1つカロ 算する(ステップ S508)。次に、タイマーが X分を経過したか否かを判定する (ステツ プ S509)。タイマーが X分を経過したと判定された場合(ステップ S509 : Yes)、ステ ップ S506に進む。 If it is determined that the timer has not passed X minutes (step S505: No), it is determined whether or not the acceleration sensor 317 has an input of X (G) or more (step S507). If there is no input of X (G) or more (step S507: No), the process proceeds to step S509. If there is an input greater than or equal to X (G) (step S507: Yes), the timer is started and the counter value is counted by one (step S508). Next, it is determined whether or not the timer has passed X minutes (step S509). If it is determined that the timer has passed X minutes (step S509: Yes), the process proceeds to step S506.
[0059] タイマーが X分を経過していないと判定された場合 (ステップ S509 : No)、カウンタ が既定回数に達したか否力、を判定する(ステップ S510)。カウンタが既定回数に達し ていない場合 (ステップ S510 : No)、ステップ S507に戻る。カウンタが既定回数に達 した場合 (ステップ S510 :Yes)、注意案内する(ステップ S511)。注意案内として、 音声案内や休憩所案内を開始する。具体的には、周辺の休憩所を自動案内したり、 窓を開けるよう促したり、スピードを落とすなどの安全運転を案内したりする。そして、 一連の処理を終了する。  [0059] If it is determined that the timer has not passed X minutes (step S509: No), it is determined whether or not the counter has reached a predetermined number of times (step S510). If the counter has not reached the preset number (step S510: No), the process returns to step S507. When the counter reaches the predetermined number of times (step S510: Yes), a warning is given (step S511). Voice guidance and rest area guidance will be started as attention guidance. Specifically, it provides guidance on safe driving such as automatically guiding nearby rest areas, encouraging windows to open, and reducing speed. Then, a series of processing ends.

When traveling next time, the route is searched so as to avoid a point where the vibration is large. It is preferable. Therefore, a description will be given of processing for avoiding a point to be avoided (hereinafter referred to as an avoidance point) stored when the shaking is large.
[0061] まず、移動体の目的地を設定する(ステップ S601)。次に、設定された目的地まで の経路を探索する(ステップ S602)。そして、探索された経路は回避位置を含むか否 かを判定する(ステップ S603)。探索された経路が回避位置を含む場合 (ステップ S6 03 : Yes)、回避位置を避ける経路を再探索する (ステップ S604)。再探索後、ステツ プ S603に戻る。探索された経路が回避位置を含まなレ、場合 (ステップ S603: No)、 経路を特定し (ステップ S605)、経路を誘導する(ステップ S606)。そして、一連の処 理を終了する。 First, the destination of the moving body is set (step S601). Next, a route to the set destination is searched (step S602). Then, it is determined whether or not the searched route includes an avoidance position (step S603). When the searched route includes the avoidance position (step S6 03: Yes), the route that avoids the avoidance position is searched again (step S604). After re-searching, return to step S603. If the searched route does not include the avoidance position (step S603: No), the route is specified (step S605) and the route is guided (step S606). And a series of actions End the process.
[0062] 図 7は、経路を設定する場合に回避位置を避けるように設定させる処理を説明する フローチャートである。まず、移動体の目的地を設定する(ステップ S701)。次に、設 定された目的地までの経路を設定する (ステップ S702)。次に、 目的地は同一目的 地か否力、を判定する(ステップ S703)。すなわち、以前に設定された目的地と同じ目 的地が再度設定されたか否かを判定する。同一目的地でないと判定された場合 (ス テツプ S703 : No)、一連の処理を終了する。  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining processing for setting to avoid the avoidance position when setting a route. First, the destination of the moving body is set (step S701). Next, a route to the set destination is set (step S702). Next, it is determined whether or not the destination is the same destination (step S703). That is, it is determined whether or not the same destination as the previously set destination is set again. If it is determined that the destination is not the same destination (step S703: No), the series of processing ends.
[0063] 同一目的地であると判定された場合 (ステップ S703 : Yes)、経路は同一経路であ るか否かを判定する(ステップ S704)。すなわち、以前に設定された経路と同じ経路 が再度設定されたか否かを判定する。同一経路でないと判定された場合 (ステップ S 704 : No)、一連の処理を終了する。同一経路であると判定された場合 (ステップ S7 04 : Yes)、回避位置を避ける経路に設定し直す (ステップ S705)。そして、一連の処 理を終了する。  If it is determined that the destination is the same destination (step S703: Yes), it is determined whether or not the route is the same route (step S704). That is, it is determined whether or not the same route as the previously set route is set again. If it is determined that they are not on the same route (step S704: No), the series of processing ends. If it is determined that the route is the same route (step S704: Yes), the route is set again to avoid the avoidance position (step S705). Then, a series of processing is completed.
